=== Lyrics and Message ===
 
Black Veil Brides's lyrics have dealt with topics aimed at people who feel like outcasts in society. Their bass player, Ashley, said this in an interview about the message the band sends to its listeners:<blockquote>"We carry a message of believing in yourself and letting no one else tell you otherwise. We stand up for the underdog and the disenfranchised. Anything strange, odd, or unique... we embrace that. So basically standing up for yourself, have fun, and live your life how you choose. You only have one life, make the most of it."</blockquote>

Purdy also explains the meaning of the band name:<blockquote>"Black Veil Brides is a Roman Catholic term used for when a woman marries into the church and gives up all the pleasures of life to devote her life to God. She is then deemed a Black Veil Bride. Sorta similar to a rock band where you have to give up many things in pursuit of what you're passionate about or believe in. It also has the dichotomy of the positive and negative. The happiest time in one's life, could be getting married. And the opposite of that in one's life would be at a funeral of a loved one. It all tends to fit really well for a dark and heavy rock band.</blockquote>

=== Alive and Burning ===

'''Black Veil Brides''' are an American rock band inspired by legends like KISS and Motley Crue.  The members of Black Veil Brides include the lead singer '''Andy Biersack''', bass and backing vocals '''Ashley Purdy''', lead guitar '''Jake Pitts''', rhythm guitar and violinist '''Jinxx''', and last (but not least) drummer '''Christian Coma (CC)'''.  They're known for their black makeup and body paint.
  
  +

== Discography ==
−
'''Andy Biersack''' was born on December 26, 1990 and is the lead singer of the BVB and the only remaining original member.  The band formed in 2006 in Cincinnatio, Ohio.  In 2009, Andy named the band Black Veil Brides (BVB) and signed with Standby Records.  Black Veil Brides' first music video was,"Knives and Pens" which reenacted the bullying Andy experienced as a kid.  In 2009, the band went on their first U.S. tour,"On Leather Wings."
  
−  
−
'''Ashley Purdy''' was born on January 28, 1984 and is the bassist and backing vocals of BVB.  Ashley joined the band in 2009.  Ashley is the girliest and most playful one in the BVB. Unlike Andy, Ashley wasn't bullied in school, he was actually really popular for being different.  
  
   
  +
=== Albums ===
−
'''Jake Pitts''' was born on August 21, 1985 and is the lead guitarist of BVB.  Jake joined the band in 2010.  Jake got his first guitar at the age of 10, but put it away for a few years.  Good thing he picked it back up or he might not be  where he is now. The song "Carolyn" was written by BVB in honor of Jake's mom who died January 18, 2014.

'''Jinxx''' was born on January 7, 1986 and the rhythm guitarist and violinist of BVB.  Jinxx joined the band in mid-2009.  He got his first guitar when he was 2 and started perfoming live shows with his dad at the age of 8.  Jake and his dad mostly played at local bars, but it was the start to Jinxx's amazing career.

'''Christian Coma (CC) '''was born on April 21, 1985.  CC joined the band in 2010.  He first started playing drums at the age of 9 and has been playing drums for over 17 years.  At first, the other members of BVB were skeptical of letting CC in the band.  Jinxx was the one who helped him get in the band and for that I am so grateful.

== The Army ==
  
−  
−
=== What the Army will NOT tolerate: ===
  
−
* Talk shit about BVB
  
−
* Fake fans that say they like BVB, when they only like BVB for Andy
  
−
* Say that Ashley Purdy is a girl (He's just a more feminine guy and that's ok 😊)
  
−
* Cause a massacre at a BVB gig, including shooting the members (Do this and you'll be the next one to die 👿)

==Lyrics' meanings==
  
−
Black Veil Brides's lyrics have dealt with topics aimed at people who feel like outcasts in society.
  
−  
−
"We carry a message of believing in yourself and letting no one tell you otherwise. We stand up for the underdog and the disenfranchised. Anything strange, odd, or unique… we embrace that. So basically standing up for yourself; have fun and live your life how you choose. You only have one life, make the most of it." -[[Ashley Purdy]]
  
−
==Origin of the name==
  
−  
−
"Black Veil Brides is a Roman Catholic term used for when a woman marries into the church and gives up all the pleasures of life to devote her life to God. She is then deemed a Black Veil Bride. Sorta similar to a rock band where you have to give up many things in pursuit of what you're passionate about or believe in. It also has the dichotomy of the positive and negative. The happiest time in one's life, could be getting married. And the opposite of that in one's life would be at a funeral of a loved one. It all tends to fit really well for a dark and heavy rock band." -[[Ashley Purdy]]
  
−  
−
==Criticism==
  
−
Black Veil Brides has been mislabeled as emo due to the members' style and appearance.
  
−  
−
"Yeah, I mean, just always identify yourself as you. Whatever your name is, whatever your interests are like, you know, don't allow them to call you 'emo' or whatever else, 'cause those things, they really don't exist. That's the term of a guy who trolls message boards and those things. Like, 'emo' and 'faggot' and those things, 'cause those are what people learned ostensibly outside of what reality is so I just don't listen to those people. Don't let those people affect you." -[[Andy Biersack]]
  
−  
−
Even when they won their Golden God Award for their song [[In The End]] winning 'song of the year' and mass radio hits, the band got berated and booed at by the audience. Phil Labonte, the frontman for All That Remains, posted a controversial comment slamming Andy Biersack's appearance and was accused of homophobia as a result.

"Yeah, it's crazy. We've been touring together for, what, almost half a decade, and that's it. We don't have the long, storied history, but we've gone through so many evolutionary changes and even stylistically in the band, we've never released two records that sounded the same. I think that the next step for the band is to do something we've never really done before, which is to take a minute and really evaluate where everything around us is and what we wanna start writing about and what the next step is for the band, logically. But also just on an artistic feel, let it be organic and let us feel something new, because we've always been… With the exception of '[[Wretched And Divine: The Story Of The Wild Ones|Wretched And Divine]]', the first two records were, 'OK, now you have to make a record. Go do it. You have this amount of time, you have this amount of money. Please get it done.' With 'Wretched And Divine', we had more of an opportunity to do something that was outside the box. We still didn't have much time, but we were allowed a little bit more of an opportunity to express ourselves. So now, I think, we're the band that I think we should be. I think we're at the right place. We're the best that we've ever been musically. The camaraderie within the band is at an all-time high. And it's not always been that way. There's certainly been fights inside of this band, like any band, over the last couple of years, but I will tell you that on this tour, there's not been anything that's been negative; it's been a very positive experience and we've all had a lot of fun. Because, again, we're all adults and we've been doing this long enough to know that those personality differences are not enough for you to try to ruin the career that you've paved. And I think sometimes bands forget that: 'Wow, we just can't get along.' Well, maybe you will soon. Just wait it out. You're not getting along today; just wait. Stay with the thing you love. And that's what we did. We've had our darkest moments and we've all had big in-fighting and everything, but we're best friends and we're brothers and we've gotten through it, just like we always will, so I'm excited to make another record with my four best friends." -[[Andy Biersack]]

Backgrounds

Lyrics and Message

Black Veil Brides's lyrics have dealt with topics aimed at people who feel like outcasts in society. Their bass player, Ashley, said this in an interview about the message the band sends to its listeners:

"We carry a message of believing in yourself and letting no one else tell you otherwise. We stand up for the underdog and the disenfranchised. Anything strange, odd, or unique... we embrace that. So basically standing up for yourself, have fun, and live your life how you choose. You only have one life, make the most of it."

Band Name

Purdy also explains the meaning of the band name:

"Black Veil Brides is a Roman Catholic term used for when a woman marries into the church and gives up all the pleasures of life to devote her life to God. She is then deemed a Black Veil Bride. Sorta similar to a rock band where you have to give up many things in pursuit of what you're passionate about or believe in. It also has the dichotomy of the positive and negative. The happiest time in one's life, could be getting married. And the opposite of that in one's life would be at a funeral of a loved one. It all tends to fit really well for a dark and heavy rock band.
