Black Veil Brides - "Every day has been like Hallowe'en!"

When we first met Black Veil Brides singer Andy Biersack in February, he confidently told K! of his plan for world domination. Eight months on, Tom Bryant caught up with the cocky frontman to see if he'd bitten off more than he could chew...

Posters: Slipknot, Iron Maiden, The James Cleaver Quintet, Biffy Clyro and All Time Low, We Are The In Crowd and Young Guns jumping on a bed.

Win!: A Zakk Wylde Epiphone coffin-shaped guitar worth £650 and £200 worth of classic horror DVDs!

Also in the issue: Coheed And Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez details his visions of a zombie apocalypse, Rancid man Tim Armstrong starts online horror series, Aiden man Wil Francis to release book of poetry, The Devil Wears Prada launch zombie game, The Wonder Years get spooky on new video, Dragon's Den man Theo Paphitis rates some made up rock merch, Zakk Wylde goes trick or treating, Cradle Of Filth frontman picks his creepiest horror flicks, meet Motionless In White - metal's newest spooky kids, the stars tell K! what scares them, Alice Cooper reveals what it takes to put on a killer Hallowe'en show, The Blackout's Sean Smith reveals his murderous plans, while Ghost's Papa Emeritus takes on the K! quiz.

The K! Verdict: There's live reviews You Me At Six, While She Sleeps, The Revival Tour, and Blessthefall, plus new albums by Metallica/Lou Reed, We Are The In Crowd, Patrick Stump, Five Finger Death Punch, all rated and reviewed.

And that's why they're famous with a sellout tour... and your not? :) They were AMAZING live... a lot better than I expected, so cut them some slack!

COOL! I need that guitar XD

Posted by PoisonCupcake | October 26, 2011 12:19 PM | Reply to this

To be honest they sounded shit live.. They where using a backing track, while playing over it. Couldn't believe it tbh.. Shitty Overrated band! 45 minute set for a Headline tour? Get out of town...

Black Fail brides ...

U pethetic little retards

Posted by ... | October 26, 2011 1:32 PM | Reply to this

anyone who is quoted by saying their own album was the best album made in the last 20 years need to take a good look in the mirror, whats the reason for all the make up? you look like TWATS!!

Posted by Alex | October 26, 2011 3:04 PM | Reply to this

Why don't you BVB hates shut the hell up!? WTF do you think you are? There is nothing wrong with being proud of your own album and knowing it did really well with the public. They have helped me through really tough times so watch your mouths. There makeup is their signature it makes them different and unique. I bet you would go round bullying emo's like me for being different!

Posted by ...........? | October 26, 2011 4:22 PM | Reply to this

they WEREN'T using a backing track!! I was there... at a concert and they did not ONCE use a backing track! :@ so stop making up shit! BVB are a really good band. So stfu!

I'm wondering if kerrang gave lulu a zero or not? Of course i'll never know, would be far too embarrassed to be seen with that cover of failed Marilyn manson wannabee wankers.

No offence to people who genuinely love BVB but I personally don't care for them. Saying that their own album was the best album made in the last 20 years isn't just being proud, its being arrogant. Especially for a new-ish band. And also, their make up isn't unique, it is a copy of KISS. And for their music, it is okay I suppose, but certainly not amazing. Though it's up to you on how you see them. And for the record I'm not a hater, I've just got an opinion.

Posted by Awesomeness | October 26, 2011 7:33 PM | Reply to this

Em, if you guys dont give about BVB and hate them so much then why are you spending so much of your time complaining about them? I really like them and you guys have every right to your opinions but I dont see why your wasting your time saying that they are fails and twats cause theyre not fails, they have a massive fan base and just did tonnes of sold out shows. If you hate them so much just dont look at the magazine and dont buy the magazine! Simple! But if you want to keep complaining, go ahead. The magazine wont go away and so wont they.

So people don't like BVB... let it be. Everyone has different tastes. In my opnion, it's their loss, because I think they make good music with meaningful lyrics. Can't wait to get this issue :)

it's always the same with Kerrang! they find a band and are obsessed with them till they find another band, right now it's BVB, so untill then all us BVB haters have to live with it :L

Posted by SoNiA | October 30, 2011 11:40 AM | Reply to this

I'm not being funny... but BVB haven't been in it for weeks and weeks :S so I don't know what you're talking about there... they've had one article... other bands have had loads so...

Posted by Alex | October 31, 2011 9:40 PM | Reply to this

I seriously don't know why Black Veil Brides get all this hate! They are amazing! Their lyrics actually mean something to their fans and get them through alot. Plus they are really good live!

In the words of Andy Biersack "I'm not a great singer, but I'm the right singer for BVB..."
I personally think Andy is a great singer :P

surely everyone is entitled to their own opinion. all these folk who are stating their dislike for the band have every right to do so, just as much right as us BVB fans have to praise them. Its hypocritical for bvb bands to make their opinions public, only then to become confrontational and nigh on violent towards those who dont share their views. its clear that a common factor is in place, a love for music, but remember, we all have our opinions folks, no needs to get soo hostile !!

All haters jst STFU.! Damn you guys are annoying!If you dnt like Black Veil Brides then Why the fuck are you on here?! Andy, Jinxx, Ashley, CC, and Jake Are Amazing People With An Amazing talent that have spoken to people with their music that helps their fans to live on with their lives And to Never Give In to what other people say about them. If you dnt like Black Veil Brides then you can go fuck off, jst lave the Bvb Army alone to listen to watever we enjoy. Now go listen to the crap you call music

I don't understand why everyone is arguing about it? I get that everyone likes different things, but seriously?
If they are making music, and it's making people happy, I don't see what the problem is.
Just let it be.
