Rock N Roll is fun, or at least that's the idea. That they are able to get back to that core concept is one of the great joys of Black Veil Brides, and one that fans latched onto as the Andy Biersack lead Hollywood quintet emerged as D.I.Y. phenomenon in 2009. Yes, the Brides Ð who along with Biersack includes Ash Purdy, Jinxx, Jake Pitts, and Christian Coma-- have a look that is a Goth take on the over-the-top glam of late '70's Kiss and mid '80's Sunset Strip, but their message is far from ironic. From their debut with 2010's We Stich Wounds to 2013's sprawling concept album The Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones, the band has always shown a deep emotionalism to go along the riff-heavy, fist pounding excitement.
And then there are those concerts: ticket buyers can expect nothing less than complete commitment from the Brides. Indeed, Biersack famously broke three ribs on stage and at another tour date, then smashed his nose falling off a drum riser at another. Of course neither injury even slowed him, much less stopped the show. It that kind of damn-it-all resolve that got Biersack named Revolver's Greatest Living Rock Star in 2012, and one of the many qualities that make the Black Veil Brides a band able to restore you faith in rock, in all it's fun, fury and fire.

The venue was small and hot, but the show was fantastic. Black Veil Brides are a truly awesome group, they and their music has matured into some great rock stuff, they had the crowd boiling. Andy Biersack is a charismatic and entrancing singer and the band is hot and heavy. They are well worth seeing now because they are headed for the arenas for sure, so get up close and personal while you can. Their new cd is packed with rock, no filler tracks on that one, don't miss it! State theater is smaller, and it was a sold out crowd so it was pretty hot and sweaty, but hey, it's rock and roll people, that's what it's supposed to be!! I would see other shows there, just for the opportunity to get that close to the band, we could literally reach out and touch them! All in all, we had a great time!
They used an hour of the concert setting up...which the fans was getting upset..then they say they don't do autographs or photos they were very impolite and the only reason they decided to do a few photos was because my husband told them it was bad that they can't take the time for their fans...good way to lose alot of fans...then the singer decide to do afew...Thing of it is...it was early and not that many was there. Now Motionless in White, Pierce the Veil and ones like that have been wonderful. .
This concert was AWESOME. At first I was really angry due to the long wait for the band to come on stage, but their performance made up for it completely. I had a blast and came out of there sweating from all the jumping I did. My neck still hurts today from banging it up and down. Overall I loved the show, just hated the two hour wait of opening acts.
This was my daughters first real concert. She said it was AWSOME and cant wait til they come back again but, this time she wants V.I.P. tickets so she can meet the band! They are really Awsome!!!! I cant wait til they come back!!!!
The performance itself was great but the sound was alittle iffy with the voice not being loud enough. Other than that it was perfect.
The guys were great the sound (microphone) could of been better, they rocked the house
I am a 100% Service-Connected Disabled Vietnam Vet and, like some, only went to the concert to take my daughter. I figured it would not be real music, just kids screaming, and not worth watching. I was shocked when Black Veil Brides went on, not only DID THEY ROCK, but the show was pure excitement, where, like in the old days of Alice Cooper, when you left the show there was no doubt you got your money's worth. Black Veil Brides is where pure Rock and Roll, WITH ATTITUTE, was meant to go. A friend of mine (Tommy the former Lead Guitarist of Tesla) taught my daughter how to play the Black Veil Brides songs on guitar, however I didn't think much about their music, thinking it was just the new kids music, until I saw them live. Believe me, their music is REAL rock, you WILL get up and move around, and you WILL leave their show wondering why in the hell you didn't go see them sooner.
I went with my daughter,who is a huge bvb fan. Personally,I don't care for them,but went so she could finally see them. The first opening act was good.civil action? (I think.) the second opener,William control was fantastic. Great stage presence with that guy. Finally when the black veil brides came on.....the place went nuts. They are nothing short of amazing live! They carry such energy and didnt let up for the entire set...even though the state theatre was HOT.
I don't think there are good enough words to describe how incredible the show was. The meet and greet was like a dream come true, and they were all really sweet. During the show, the band was very interactive with the audience, and I ended up taking home a few things of theirs (including sweat rags haha). It was my lucky day, because I got to meet Ashley twice. He had put his bass up for auction and I ended up getting it, so after everyone left after the show, he met with me and we took pictures together and talked. He also signed the back of it and wrote a special message for me. I've never been so thankful and felt so blessed in my life. I got some phenomenal shots of the band while they were performing, and I got to stand really close to the stage (since I was VIP). I can honestly say that it was the best experience of my entire life, and I recommend that you go if you ever get the chance to see these guys live. You definitely won't regret it.
Every time I see bvb I am impressed and inspired. They were awesome and nice as ever. A girl passed out from the heat and Andy stopped the show to get her a water bottle from the stage. And Ashley came out for autographs after the show and hugged my ecstatic brother. They're so down to earth and yet so talented. You just can't beat a black veil brides show.
Best concert I ever went to. Andy is more gorgeous in person too! BVB were amazing!!!!!!
This band is my favorite. They are very inspirational lyrically & personality wise. Their songs resonate with their audience/fans-& everyone seems to get into it-singing along. Each member:Andy, Ashley, CC, Jake & Jinxx are so talented. Don't miss one of their shows or you will regret it...honestly-they give it their all. great showmanship
I've not seen them since 2010 when Sandra Alvarenga was still drumming for them, but I actually was able to meet with them and do some photos with them for my portfolio. They are amazing people and killer performers. They were my favorite band at the time and still are for the most part, but I'd love to see them again after their 3rd album comes out. Their energy was crazy, the second time I saw them on my 14th birthday on July 26th, 2010, Andy had remembered me from the two weeks before when I'd saw them and worked with them and I'd told him that I'd be there to see them on my birthday and that the Mortician's Daughter was my favorite song by then. The night of my birthday, Andy held my hand through their performance of The Mortician's Daughter and after the show, when I walked up to him, he held out his arms for a hug and knew me by name and told me happy birthday. Easily the coolest guys (and girl at the time) I've ever met in the music business. I don't know about them now since they've gotten so much bigger, but their dedication to their music and meeting their fans was so admirable. I can't wait for them to go on tour after the album drops in October!
I've seen BVB twice before. 1st time was when Andy broke his nose. He was in so much pain it hurt to see him preform. But I give him all my respect for still performing and not letting the BVBarmy down. When It was too painful for him to sing Ashley had to take over at some points. I salute Ashley for that, true musician. The crowd was disappointing though. I was at the front barrier and I'll tell you; I've never been so squashed in my life. The fans were just pushing and it got to a point that I passed out, got taken out and was sent to the back of the crowd. Was upset because I was queuing for 10 hours outside in the cold. 2nd was a little better. The venue was larger and spacious. But fans still pushing around. No air for me to breath. Their performance was was phenomenal. They had confetti and fire it was magical. We even got them to do an encore! I also found it quite difficult to sing along with Andy because his voice is so low, it sounded like he was mumbling half of the time. Also, the sound system wasn't very good. The crowd let me down every time. I'd rather watch the performance not tightly packed complimenting with the aroma of wet dog in the air. Next time, I'm gonna relax myself and sit at the back of the standing area and watch them.
Started listening to them back in 2009 but hadn't gotten a chance to go to a show until the Buried Alive Tour. Even though they only got to do a few songs, it was still one of the best parts of the whole show. They put on such an amazing performance and Andy has a good stage presence, able to work a crowd. We would have loved to have more of their music and less of AA, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. The whole band seemed to really be having fun and it transfers to their music, as they were all energetic. Even people around us that only liked a song or two had plenty of respect. Would recommend and would see again, opening or headliner.
Been obsessed since 2006 when they first started out. They have changed my perspective of life, i used to be this self absorbed kid with many many issues, and i still have MANY issues, and their music has put me in a better state and keeping me calm. They are THE BEST band out there in my view. Their music connects, and speaks to your heart. It's one hell of a time at there concerts! Front row is the BOMB <3
I am 40 and I took my daughter who is 13 to see them in the warp tour in San Antonio. Andy could not play but we got to meet the band who were really nice. My kids listen to them and now I am hooked. We live in Austin Texas and we are driving to Dallas on the 18th of November because it is my daughter's birthday and she could not have planned a perfect day to kick off her birthday. Too bad they were sold out of VIP passes because that would have really made my daughter's day!
i saw BVB at Ufest first time i saw them live and it was amazing even people who say they dont like BVB enjoyed the show
They were so amazing. I'm so happy I went. Gyaaa! I sound like a lovestruck teenage girl.... Oh wait
