Andy Biersack discuss awful tour Black Veil Brides had with one iconic rock band

As a gamer with a penchant for rock music, I’ve had my share of concerts and bands that span across various genres. Black Veil Brides, Motionless In White, and Ice Nine Kills are some names etched deep within my playlist. However, each band has its unique vibe, and BVB stands out with their goth metal style.


It’s worth mentioning that I’ve attended two of Black Veil Brides’ concerts, and each time they performed alongside Motionless In White and Ice Nine Kills. Although each band has its unique style, Black Veil Brides stand out with their distinct charm. What truly matters is that they have some fantastic tunes.

Even though some people may not immediately appreciate them, they are musicians who specialize in gothic metal, a genre that has its dedicated fans. It’s not that they lack merit; it’s just that their music might be too unique or intense for those not accustomed to it. For example, Mötley Crüe incorporates a touch of makeup into their image, but their sound is different from bands like Bring Me the Horizon (BVB). Instead, they lean more towards pop-metal.

Fans of The Crüe might take issue with that part, but that’s just what the band has always been about. There’s nothing incorrect with it, truly. “Home Sweet Home” is a good song, though at its core, it’s simply a power ballad. Black Veil Brides don’t typically produce power ballads like Mötley Crüe, so it’s somewhat challenging for a fan of The Crüe to fully grasp them.

Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides discusses his awkward tour with Mötley Crüe

In 2012, the two bands went on tour together, however, Band VH1 was not the main act. The audience primarily came to see the other band. As an opening act, Band VH1 had to make a strong effort to convince the audience they were worth listening to, but the Crüe’s fans were unimpressed.

Andy Biersack, who is known as the lead singer (and indeed, the face) of Black Veil Brides, recently chatted with Blabbermouth about the audience’s response to their band. It wasn’t Mötley Crüe who had issues; they seemed open to sharing a tour. However, it was their fans who were unfamiliar with Black Veil Brides.

Biersack explained that following the completion of the first song, there was not booing but rather complete silence, an intense, arms-crossed, angry silence. In such a situation, even boos would be somewhat preferred because when faced with 20,000 people all standing motionless and quiet, it’s more unsettling than hearing some noise…Essentially, we continued playing a medley of our songs without stopping between them as the prolonged silence was too awkward to handle.

It’s quite unusual to experience complete quietness. One could ponder what it’d be like at a hypothetical Black Veil Brides show, with Mötley Crüe as the opening act. The curiosity of how Black Veil Brides fans would respond makes it an intriguing scenario to imagine.
