He's such a sweetheart. An intelligent, badass, sweetheart.

[@sr-wj7pm]

darkfawn pretty much describes him lol

[@ToxicSundance]

He has one of the most brilliant minds and is so inspirational. Definitely proud to be a fan :)

[@mcoffield4]

I just love how talented Andy is. Like his lyrics are so powerful that sometimes 'I can't even'. And he is just so wise and intelligent. He has such an amazing view on things. He is an inspiration to many and I can't wait to watch his success grow.

[@NafiNowsin]

Andy is the reason why I have such a high standard in people

[@lorimatchett1256]

Nafi Nowsin andy shows me that my high expectations can happen and maybe they aren't so high😂

[@grabthatgun]

Andy is my inspiration to make a band I need to...I'm only nearly 12 but this is what I want to do

[@madk7583]

OMG same I'm 14 (15 in two weeks) and I really want to start a band as the vocalist but I can't did any body in my school to start a band with me

[@grabthatgun]

Same I want to be a vocalist too

[@destinymae8004]

I really have wanted to do music my whole life I have always wanted to be a so get but I aslo want to learn to play guitar but when your family doesn't have much money there not a lot you can do but sing your heart out

[@mckenziem4644]

Did u make it?

[@loanavo1503]

I love Andy and the whole band. He is so freaking amazing, intelligent, wise and such a well spoken person. I love it.

[@seattlepilot]

"Something tells me you didn't have to sleep on the couch if you didn't want to" ahaha

[@devorahneves6971]

yes, us introverts don't socialize real well, sadly. being quiet really sucks. i totally get that.

[@EscapeTheFateXFIR]

Thank you so much for posting it on here for free! It was so interesting and as you said at the end, Andy's such a nice and smart guy!

[@vanderpumprules2]

i fucking love him , he is such an inspiration and i fucking love him god

[@sausagedaddy1331]

Black Veil Brides has always been a big part of my life. Fallen Angels in the fist video I ever watched of thiers so it will always have a special place im my heart. My favorite song now is Faithless. The new album is great and I am eagerly awaiting Alive and Burning movie

[@belenluttmer7626]

I love the story behind knives and pens

[@rallypoint2582]

Kevin is so well spoken, its refreshing to hear.

[@Ruby-du7ex]

most girls are waiting for their Prince Charming, I'm waiting for my Andy Biersack

[@sarah.g8357]

Wonderful. I'm so so Greatful of andy being part of this world. Most people say this but when I meet him and i will (; I will make sure of it. I will thank him for letting me feel like if I really try and believe I can it can happen.

[@journeyinspirit]

He's a Capricorn 😂 he does have mercury in Sagittarius though.

[@rantriviatsosie310]

OMG I love the Knives & Pens Video.. Had no Idea that was the story behind it...Great JOB ANDY!!!

[@SimsGirl4Ever]

I love Andy's teeth. Also, he's so intelligent! I really enjoyed this interview.

[@Ruby-du7ex]

everyone's saying it, but it's so true so I'll say it again. Andy's so intelligent and down to Earth, that's what I like most about him, he's so humble and open. I would love to have a conversation with him myself some day.

[@angelique1112]

I like your modesty. Your truth and your message. Thanks for giving strength and motivation, and for believing in us. But, no, Andy, you are not a regular guy from Cincinnati. At least you've got that sth., that strength and the strength to hard working, that makes you big. For me you are big and great and beautiful and especially unique (and much more) in a comprehensive way.

[@CherryyBombs]

This is weirdly inspiring, the way he just kind of winged it and look where he is now. I don't know how to feel, I am at a point in my life where I need to choose a career path and I just wanna be a freaking rockstar

[@tatianadiaz4105]

He is so cool and its funny he started when he was young and knives and pens is the reason I'm into black veil brides and he seems so smart and Juliet is very lucky to have him.

[@ayelizx1102]

that might of been one of the best interviews I've ever seen of Andy and I like how his story is so unique from all the other rock bands his is just so unbelievable and wonderful and very inspiring and its just so amazing and that's why I love his band and him. :)

[@m3mph1s137]

Black Veil Brides were absolutely amazing live!!!

[@bvbarmyunicorn3219]

their amazing !! i love them so much

[@hopeodell4759]

Thank you andy for the new videos im in texas I hope one day you can play here one day

[@hateisanunderstatement4421]

i love Andy's voice

[@gloomyharlow]

Great interview!

[@shelbymaddie6758]

I LOVE YOU ANDY

[@nataliechubet8210]

Gasp On my birthday Fuck I wish I was there to be like "ANDY IZ MAH BIRTHDAY:D!" Then we become freinds And then he tells me his darkest secrets Wait Fangirl moment ANYWHO:D We would runoff into the sunset saying "I LOVE THIS HILL:D!!!"

[@nataliechubet8210]

Omg I just realized I'm pretty young To be listening to BVB Fuck it,he will see me at the Hartford concert. Then, I get an autograph, Then my mommy drives me home :D

[@beckahockett6099]

All I can say is it's a shame andy is taken. The more I see of him the realization that normal men just can't measure up. Can we just clone him or something lol.

[@MyaFudge]

I'll have one!!

[@SebbyNilsen]

So cool! Clone him, so I can have one as my neighbour. My grandmother (she's my neighbour too) need a person she can live with. She's single. The clone Andy can we call for "Andy Nordmann" (Norwegian)

[@SimsGirl4Ever]

Becka Hockett- My thoughts exactly!

[@andiclimactic]

his smile will be the death of me.

[@hannahcarlson2799]

I just want to sing and scream and so ive been doing that for at least 4+ hours a day usually around 7 and my voice has gotten a lot better through the past 2 years doing that and I cant wait to be able to get a band together

[@hannahruddell8408]

He was so close to where I live

[@kblunt18]

Wish I was able to watch it live, but I was working. $40 is a little much for me to buy the whole set. At least I got to see this portion.

[@animalofdarkness4895]

Andy is litterly my Idol....I'm litterly proud....He doesn't even have to brag :p I do it for him lol

[@maxx-qy1pv]

I was born about a month after Andy turned 13... In Kentucky...😳

[@briizme5149]

He's sooo fucking perfect and I love his voice. He could talk for hours. But I'd love it if he said " I love Bri gamble" for about an hour or so...

[@natashiasullivan2078]

My name is Catie and Andy is my #1singer . Andy and Ashley are SO HOT!!!! And Andy's voice OMG it is like a gold waterfall. :P It would be a dream come trough to meet Andy Biersack.

[@bvbloveoutlawlove7791]

I luv andy biresack he vewry fuffly

[@abbichristie2819]

andy is so perfect

[@mellow_yellow16]

Way to go, fellow fangirl ;)

[@roygonzales917]

AAAA I KNEW HE WAS TALKING ABOUT KNIVES AND PENS

[@frankiesteinbiersackstanle4544]

andy so cute

[@PhantasmalLight_00]

XD at the end you can andy going but .. i as the guys keep talking then cut the call saying by XD

[@katielan7510]

I find it a bit sad how he never says scouts name i understand how bad it is to fall apart from someone is but it just makes me upset how the memory of someone could hurt someone i look up to so much

[@Nadsow]

Right? I've watched other interviews where he talks about her but never really says her name..I think even though he is with Juliet now the memory of her will always hurt him :/

[@theesovreignshannonnicolepage]

Ok

[@renegadeangstymarshmallow651]

"Not people who have been giving an amazing gift or crapped out of the sky" lmao

[@lyndahope1567]

What? It's over? Awwwwwwwwww...

[@JaneDoe-xr7qn]

Totally of subject but, at 717 i just about died because the monster hes drinking is my favourite one and anyone i know doesnt like it and hes the only other person i have seen that drinks it other than me

[@breannajohnson7283]

Yessssa I was born in Ohio !!!!! :D *mindblown*

[@marjkejasmine7846]

Me too!! :)

[@addycarter2790]

This is so unfair I was happy being born in the bay area but once I got into black veil brides and gained this admiration of the god that is Andy I just wish to have been born in a small town in boring, from what I've heard no offence to people from Ohio there could be fun things that I haven't heard of, Ohio. Goddammit Andy!!!!!

[@myteethareblue9406]

same

[@mairabella]

Why doesn't anyone in the room ask a question after hearing how eloquent and intelligent Andy is speaking? Strange people,,,,,,,,

[@angelique1112]

Because they are totally impressed...?

[@angelique1112]

There is actually someone asking.

[@mairabella]

+Angel Angelique no one asked except them getting questions from the internet, I watched 2 times.I would have loved to ask him something. These people don't know who he is and how great his music is.

[@angelique1112]

Do you actually know what crowd has been invited? Was it a closed circle or could have theoretically anyone been part of the audience? What question would you have asked him? I'm just asking because I'm interested^^ I have a lot of admiration and respect for Andy.

[@seattlepilot]

So he's saying that Fallen Angels is the one he didn't like that much, that wasn't directed by Pat?

[@goosebackes5416]

Fallen Angels is my least favorite video too

[@seattlepilot]

Fallen Angels was the first video I ever saw of them, so it has special meaning to me...Rebel Love Song might be my least favorite, since I didn't like the acting part of it

[@goosebackes5416]

Falling angels is kinda laughable to me because of how cringeworthy all the fire and special effects are xD at least they tried

[@seattlepilot]

Yeah thats true haha

[@anunkeptmind]

I thought he was talking about Perfect Weapon.

[@Itsmeieva]

30FT hair XD

[@jjpme92un]

this guy talks more than that cutewitch chick on youtube -

[@jjpme92un]

he's like a chatty Kathy doll

[@lorimatchett1256]

I live in this void called Ohio, guys IT SUCKS!!😂 I live here and I'm thinking about how much hard work andy went through to get out of this crap hole

[@iridescentraindrops]

Seriously, that couch sentence is all that got stuck in the interviewer's head after that big eloquent reply? How immature.
