Music Monday: Ashley Purdy leaving Black Veil Brides

[@tylerbvb3551]

Ashley it will always be BVB Army no one will replace you miss you 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@king-onyx6179]

As for them not mentioning much about Ashley leaving, I think it’s likely due to legal reasons. Ashley made it clear in an article posted by Altpress that discussing the split is difficult because of legal agreements and such. Additionally, I think this split was heavily meditated on both parties, which is another reason they may not have spoken about it. Ashley had gone through grief counseling and therapy which is difficult in itself, but knowing you have to tell all of your fans that you don’t feel right in the band anymore is a lot more weight. I think the reason it was all so fast for us is because neither party really wanted to or could justly explain the situation. All I can assume is that they both mutually agreed to split and in honesty, that’s between them, whether we know or not, and it had been a subject for a long while, considering they already had a new bassist and new music to put out. In short, I don’t think that either party meant any malice or had ill intent and that they decided to not mention Ashley’s leave because of their own legal and personal reasons, which is okay because as a fan base, we’re here to support both parties unconditionally.

I’m sad that Ashley Purdy left the band and he was my favorite band member I’ll always miss him

[@between_the_pages]

I’ve always connected more to Ashley because he grew up in Missouri and my family is from Missouri. He also has a degree in Fashion Design and my degree is in Fashion Merchandising. So I feel like we could be friends lol.

[@bambicovert1638]

@@between_the_pages he’s also a graphic designer

[@ruthannpace7927]

I love Ashley i miss him being there. I am following him now along with BVB i will always like them

[@faisalalammari4698]

I am a a black veil brides fan and I am really sad that Ashley has left the band

[@taylorjeppson5390]

Love this video! I personally was very devastated with the news at first and found it shocking when BVB came out with new music so soon. I see myself as being a casual fan of BVB but can't see myself supporting them nearly as much as I did when Ashley was in the band. I love Ashley's new music and can't wait for him to hopefully release a full length album. I see myself supporting him completely with his new project. As for BVB, my main support is probably going to lay with CC, aside from Ashley, he was the one I connected with the most.

[@acannavo2631]

This is all the same thoughts I had as well when Ashley left. You said everything that I thought of or has said to others. X

[@between_the_pages]

My thoughts back then and my thoughts now remain the same. I’m still upset with how things were handled and how the guys don’t seem to be supporting Ashley at all (Ash has also been throwing some shade on his Instagram). I made this video because I knew I couldn’t be the only one struggling with the news and everything.

[@acannavo2631]

Exacly , bvb hasn't shown or supported Ashley in any way shape or form. They basically threw him under the bus and forgot his was in the band. Like it's been 2 3 years and I still feel hurt on how they handle it x

[@mewzombieful]

It's very hard to support someone when you can't legally say the name of the person or mention him in any way. Also if you want to see how bad it got for them look up Andy talking about Vale and that time of the band. No hate to Ashley but it was healthier for both of them from what he was saying.

[@FurianPA]

I finally finished watching your video. I think the BIG reason for them not saying anything about Ashley is the fact that he got ousted due to allegations. Just an FYI, he was found innocent in late 2022/early '23. I just became a fan 2yrs ago. All this about Ash REALLY upset me. I was falsely accused of assault in HS. It's not fun having that happen to u. Thanks for not believing the BS abt Ash. When he was found innocent, u saw all the sheeples come out and cry 'foul'.

[@ddbears3686]

And I agree with you Ashley has talent and he’s not ugly and he’s got an amazing voice to back it up and he really doesn’t have the greatest boys I mean if we’re really going to get technical here. It’s very low and raspy and just mark. Even with a solo music. Ashley was really made that band energetic I think Andy has narcissistic traits and he is going to show Ashley see we made it just without you bro. It’s a macho testosterone thing. But I do agree with you and his voice alone it’s not up to par...But he does have stage performance I will give them that and he is I candy. And he seems to be a nice person to a lot of his fans so I’m not hating on the band I’m just keeping it real with my opinion and some facts.

[@lynnrinaldo6795]

Ashley will ALWAYS BE BLACK VIEL BRIDES!😪😮‍💨

[@lynnrinaldo6795]

I am upset that Ashley left.

[@alllittlethingzz]

I felt like he barely played bass all he did is sing over Andy 24/7

[@CeCe_Inclined-2C]

I like music

[@ddbears3686]

Everybody is so hypnotized by Andy he’s a great guy don’t get me wrong I bet .. narcissistic. Ashley was the salt to the pepper jelly to the peanut butter and that shit band. I’m not saying all the music is bad. I’m 36 and I grew up on LA guns, motley Crue, Alice In Chains, mother love bone. I got to feel the real music from its time and era. I grew up in Seattle where Nirvana was on the scene yes I was a little but I understood and appreciated real music. I’m not seeing their music is not real but let’s think about it and he likes to do a solo gigs. And when he doesn’t make money...From those shit Poppy dance I’m rich or want to be rich music/songs the other band is original band have to wait on him. When it’s convenient for Andy. The music really hasn’t gotten any better three years and it sounds very similar to in the end or whatever that song is. Which was Semi-decent. But those bandmates got to make a living to. Anyways that is my opinion as an adult looking in. I think if Andy didn’t have a looksee has his voice is mediocre at best it’s really not that good the musicians in the band they can keep a beat and keep it down not discarding that. But Ashley I think really wants to make real music and I think he has more talent than probably a lot of them in the band and I do see him making his own music in the future.

[@alllittlethingzz]

Ashley was so toxic and tried to make it all about him tho

[@lynnrinaldo6795]

DDbears 36, I totally agree with you, ya think Andy is a narcissist? duh! a yeah! He's lucky he has the looks, but guess what sweetheart LOOKS FADE!I I used to like him but not so much now.I think he totally disrespected Ashley. that's not cool.thanks for listening to me.

[@islaheartford9465]

They didn't address it very professionally and glossed over it in quite a childish way Just think

[@David-cg6wl]

aperantpy ashley left himself

[@user-pi5zf8lf2l]

But Ashley Purdy was always backing vocals in BVB?? Andy Biersack has always been the lead singer and the other guys have always been the back up vocals.

[@between_the_pages]

A lot of bands allow other members solo moments (i.e. Ben Bruce of Asking Alexandria sometimes sings on songs). I understand that Andy is the founder and it’s his band, but he could have allowed Ashley a solo or two

[@lynnrinaldo6795]

Andy and ash are both ALFAmales, will it seems like it, one had to go and you know it was going to be ash. Andy is a very dominate!!!!!!!!!!

[@ravenseance]

I was mad to at him but I think he's a good guy? But Ashley was a really good guy. Think I liked ashey better

[@lynnrinaldo6795]

Think they were very disrespectful to ash.

[@between_the_pages]

I agree. Ashley leaving wasn't handled well.
