Isaac Perez WHAT??? What that shit of COD have to do with Andy? Sorry but read my comment again. I wrote" sheep herd" as a herd of sheep. It was answer to the op's question of how can Andy be a "weird kid" And my answer was that he was and is too awesome for general population to fit in

[@marionacrosby9267]

I don't understand how people associate bvb with devil worshiping. They sing about not backing down and don't be afraid of who you are. Yes there are songs about religion but it never once said that the devil is greater than god in ANY of their songs. But hip hop (nowadays) is about Shooting guns, how much money you have, how many women you've banged. I'm not saying that hip hop is devil worshiping I'm just saying that you can't call something so inspirational until you dive deeper into the lyrics

Yea when kids at school found out what kind of music I listened to (I just graduated from 7th grade so kids didn't give a flip what you said) and they claimed I was a devil worshipper. I told them I wasn't, that I was a Bible believing Christian and I am. They wouldn't believe me but I didn't give a crap. Anyways, what right do they have to judge? I bet twenty bucks they didn't even research BVB when I told them about it

Andy has such a beautiful way of stating his thoughts. In both his music and conversation, and he says it so eloquently with such an incredible vocabulary and fluidity, I can't imagine the people who tear down "stupid emo punk bands" when this guy is a perfect example of someone trying to make a difference in the world through his music. And it is evident! In his lyrics, and in this amazing interview, you can tell he has a beautiful soul, even through all the black, leather, chains, and liner. So I'm proud of him, never caring what other people think. I want to do the same.

Andy Biersack and Ronnie Radke, along with various talented artists around the world talk to us through their music. It's great if we get a chance to meet them and talk to them in person even for a second, but what I tend to appreciate more is not the one time I talked to my favorite artist, but all of the times that their music helped me get back up on my feet.

[@essymuffins]

I really enjoy watching interviews with Andy Biersack. He is so well-spoken and eloquently blunt. Only a week ago, I discovered BVB as a result of checking out Andy's new solo album, The Shadow Side. I really love the positive message Black Veil Brides put into their songs. I've been listening to rock genre for almost 10 years now. I can't believe I only discovered BVB's music recently. Technological advances are simultaneously an advantage and disadvantage. I've come to make awesome online friends who are in my multiple fandoms. I know non-fandom people will judge my obsessions but I don't give a shit. Everyone is passionate about something. You don't have to like what other people love but at least be respectful. Diversity is what makes the world fascinating. No one wants to live in the world where everyone is the same...with the same interests and personalities. I know the first hand experience with childhood bullying...but way back back before the internet played a role in bullying. I'm three year younger than Andy so social media wasn't as prevalent as it is nowadays. Even with my generation gap, I can understand how difficult it is to be an adolescent growing up in this time of social media evolution. It deeply saddens me that people get sheer joy of being despicable assholes to others just to get some reaction out of people. Their energy is being focused on the wrong things.

I finished school in October so now I'm hopefully never gonna get bullied again, I was always a loner, I wasn't like the other kids and anytime somebody new arrived everyone would tell them to stay away from me so I never had many friends even tho I was kind to everyone, but people were always acting and talking like I had a contagious disease, they always told me that I had a disease and 1 touch would kill them so they stood away from me but insulted me and laughed at me and stuff, that's part of the reason for my depression, anxiety and eating disorder because even tho its stopped now I can never get it out of my head and I can't talk to people anymore because I'm always worrying that they'll do what everybody used to do to me, I was always the happy, carefree, kind girl who never pretended to be someone else and who was never afraid of talking to people, but everybody broke that girl and now I'm the complete opposite, I'm still kind, but now I barely ever smile, I can barely leave my bedroom, and I can't remember who the real me is because I've spent so long being somebody else, and when people who used to bully me see my scars and cuts they wonder why I do it, they think I do it for attention and that I have no reason to do it, I feel like they forgot about when they used to hurt me every day, and they pretend to care, they expect me to tell them how I'm feeling and to trust them but I'll never think of them as a friend, to me they'll always be the kid who used to make me wish I was dead, I'm sorry for the rant

[@nuralphernelia_9172]

this goes to show that not all dropouts are dumb and havent learnt anything. they just feel trapped in the system.

I live in Seattle where people are really accepting of the way I dress. People do give me shit for it sometimes but it would've been way worse if I lived in the South or something like that. I have a pretty happy life overall and surprisingly people are really nice of the way that I dress. I've gotten complimented on it more than made fun of for it. Im really glad about that. If people did make fun of me though, I wouldn't stop dressing the way I do because that would be like me letting them win and change me and I hate the thought of that. So anybody who gets made fun of for how they dress, don't stop dressing how you want. We're all gonna die anyways so don't waste your life! If dressing the way you want makes you happy go for it no matter how stupid you think you look in the eyes of other people. If you like how you look then do it

[@adrianatamburini5114]

I'm glad I helped :-) you saying that really made me feel good. Just remember to stay true to yourself and never let anyone change who you are

[@TokyoBlue587]

I agree! Don't let anyone change you or tell you who or how you should be. Only you decide that.

[@robcarlson4825]

i was bullied from 7th through 11th grades. i think you guys are awesome in your beliefs on bullying. keep up the awesome work my good men

[@greyceenewman3680]

This interview actually made me cry in the good way.

[@brynnh.6759]

I live in a small town in Washington, you can tell how people react when I tell them the music I listen to... I get so much shit for it 😒

[@juniperfox1064]

Brynn Leigh yeah me too, people won't hire me to babysit their kids because I have purple in my hair and listen to the music I do.

[@Spottiegirl33]

I live in a small town in Washington too, and everybody here is religious. So they don't listen to the music I do or anything that I'm interested in, so they pick on me for it. They just don't understand that I'm different.

[@TokyoBlue587]

So don't tell them. Or tell them but don't let their reaction bother you. Who cares? Just listen to what YOU like, and let them go back to their shitty music.

2:54 they don't have to understand:)

[@andysneck9157]

I used to be bullied in 5th through 7th just for liking 1D. I kinda kept liking BVB a secret but now I wear it and show it off strongly, same thing with 1D now, even though they're on a "hiatus" or break or whatever you want to call it. They've helped me through a lot. I can't thank them enough, and so many others bands I've fallen in love with, whether it be from my dad's music or my mom's or even just from the radio. Thank you 💖💖💖

[@rashinair5118]

How the words flow when he talks....it's beautiful. And he talks sense. And he is so beautiful. He is an inspiration. I love him.

[@chelseawake687]

[@kureeta60]

We all are the weird kids at school :)

[@WolfsRainGirl15]

You can tell he when he gets more passionate about what he's talking about because he starts talking faster. His voice is extremely satisfying....❤

[@makaylamathis8859]

When it said ``Were you bullied Yourself`` I cried cause it made the remember all the times i have

[@taugamhorrsod8972]

When I got bullied I was like: I don't care what they think about me, they are just shit. And I fighted back, but sometimes I started crying which was my biggest mistake. After the bullying stopped, I started struggling from depression and I wanted to kill myself, my parents and my classmates (which were my bullies). Well my parents because they don't treat me very well. After that I started hating myself because I have no motivation to do something, I got bad at school or whatever I do. I'm only sitting in my room and do nothing. And I can't really change it because oft my depression. Yeah I don't hate myself because I am a weird person, only because of this reasons. Now I am more the loner, which is always sitting in a corner at school. I can't really deal with people and crowds so I am listining to music to make it a bit better. I am a bit of all of you. And I am the I hate everyone and everyone hates me kid. (and sorry for my bad english, I am german). I don't know, I always been very weird. But I really love that people are scared of me. I love scaring people.

[@user-ep8bk5ku6g]

I don't know what's wrong with people nowadays. They all want to be different because they think that's cool but they call you weird if you're not like them. That's insane. To me different is normal. Do whatever you want.

[@hollyproud5592]

You bullied? Pff, your too cool to get bullied.

[@purpleknight1396]

You're*
