Be who you want to be and not care about what others think.Collection: Hater
Find something that is a happy, healthy alternative to hurting yourself, as opposed to taking a razor blade to yourself because at the end of the day, you're only hurting the most important person in the world and that's you. And you don't want to hurt that person.Collection: Hurt
Let love be your perfect weapon.Collection: Love Is
Where you are right now blast some music and forget.Collection: Bvb
Reverse petting zoo. You pet the animals, and they pet you back.Collection: Zoos
You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to any of your heroes. Become what you wish to be.Collection: Hero
Finally, please remember this. If you EVER need something that you can stand behind, something to help you to take on and deflect all of the hatred of this often cruel world, you will ALWAYS have Black Veil Brides.Collection: Bvb
I rather be divisive than boring. The last thing I want to be is a bowl of sugar free vanilla pudding, it's not something you necessarily hate but it's not something you ask for. I'd rather be something people passionately care about one way or another than be kind of in the middle.Collection: Hate
And the people who say things to you about the way you look and the way you dress, they have nothing more to their lives. That's all they do, and you have something more in you.Collection: Bvb
Never give in, never back down.Collection: Giving
We are a band that stylistically crosses a lot of barriers and generational gaps. The heavier portion of the band, the modern music elements, the visual part of the band appeal to a younger audience. For an older audience, we have chops and great songs that are reminiscent of the things that were great about rock and roll when they enjoyed it. We're the kind of band that can cross those lines.Collection: Song
I didn't really get the chance to talk to girls. I was a straight boy with hormones kicking in, and I wanted to talk to girls, but they weren't interested in talking back to me, so there was a real sense of loneliness.Collection: Girl
Black Veil Brides will stand strong for you we will take on the world's hatred so that you don't have to listen to your music way to loud and be as crazy and as "different" as you want to be and always remember you're not alone.Collection: Strong
I don't think we ever sat down in the early days and said "hey lets be a band that wears make up". I think it was just natural for us. We grew up loving stuff like Alice Cooper, Kiss, The Misfits, and the more theatrical stuff. I always loved rock stars. I loved David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, and these people that were larger than life and iconic. I think that is what we always wanted to do.Collection: Stars
Every day, people say crappy things about my band or whatever, but I live a positive existence. I got through everything by virtue of having the same passion that I've had through the years.Collection: Passion
Our shows have always been sort of an all-generations thing, people from 6 to 60. The other night, we played a show and we had a woman who was probably 70 to 75 years old, and she was there alone and she was singing every song. On the other end of the spectrum, there was a 7-year-old on his dad's shoulders and the dad is singing along.Collection: Song
You try so hard to make something that's fun and exciting, then all anyone wants to talk about is how no-one likes you. It gets very grinding. I had to let the chip I have on my shoulder about that go.Collection: Fun
Believe none of what you hear...and even less of what you see...this is what we`ll be.Collection: Believe
You are at home when you're at a Black Veil Brides concert.Collection: Home
Because of the kind of music that I liked, and the different way that I dressed, it was kind of a perfect storm, creating a situation where I existed on my own throughout my schooling.Collection: Creating
It would be weird for me to be raging against all of the bullies in my life because it would be disingenuous. I've gotten through all of that and I'm living a wonderful life, but that doesn't mean that people aren't mean to me.Collection: Mean
I never advocate that you should be lonely, or come to my shows and bring me your razor blade to show me that you don't cut anymore.Collection: Lonely
I think the biggest faults that bands tend to have in terms of drama or breaking up is bands don't learn people's personalities. When you spend as much time with people obviously it's going to rub off, and you are going to get to know the way people are. You can make sure day to day people are accommodated to and people feel positive about the experience, then you can stay together as a band, at least that is my opinion.Collection: Drama
I don't believe in ghosts, or fairies, or crystals, or unicorns, or a man that can walk on water, or any of that non sense, I personally rely on logic, and have for the better part of my life.Collection: Believe
Rock and roll is about having a good time.Collection: Bvb
It`s so simple just like that, 'cause it`s a shame that where you`re at isn`t always where you really wanna be.Collection: Simple
Three things it would be extremely difficult to play a show without: makeup, my vocal cords and pants.Collection: Makeup
It's a dangerous game to write a song for a person you don't know. It feels disingenuous.Collection: Song
Bathe in your riches and friends, I'll stay here with my songbooks and pensCollection: Bvb
I guess I just sorta figured out early on that most of what people feared was based on things they had heard or read, rather than what they had seen or touched. That being said I do fear that dark in the sort of spooky illustrative sense, that whole idea of "not knowing" whats there. I had really bad problems with the spooks when I was young, but not for fear of aliens.Collection: Dark
I was 16 when we made the first song. We've been touring for half a decade together and we've had quite a bit of time spent learning our craft. You improve as a song writer and as a musician over time.Collection: Song
I don't want to get away with murder! I'd have to live with that for the rest of my life. I would never want to live with killing somebody.Collection: Want
When I was growing up in school, I wasn't the archetype of the classic American nerd; I was just different.Collection: Growing Up
The people that tell you what you enjoy is wrong, or come in your life and tell you what you're wearing is wrong are miserable because they focus on the things that they don't like.Collection: People
Photograph each day so we can live foreverCollection: Forever
Creating art or something beautiful makes you a more fulfilled person than they can ever be because they're caught up in what they hate rather than what they love.Collection: Beautiful
Aside from comic book heroes, the only real life heroes I had were musicians.Collection: Real
Life is all about being true to yourself and what you believe inCollection: Believe
Love is a power greater than death, just like the songs and stories told.Collection: Song
Like birds whose wings are broken, you live without direction!Collection: Bvb
Something pure to burn away the darkness that hides inside my mindCollection: Darkness
I noticed the different kids were always put down by other people and it would cause them to become almost violent with themselves. It's not really necessary; there's a way to find strength in yourself, and for me it was writing. That was sort of my release and my escape, so the term 'Knives and Pens' to me was like a choice. You can either create, or become violent, and maybe go down a dark road.Collection: Writing
I'm writing songs with the hope someone can get behind my feeling.Collection: Song
And death climbs up the steps one by one.Collection: Steps
