Val22 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Anyone here hear of or listen to Black Veil Brides?I've never heard of them until recently. They have 2 videos on TWC ON DEmand, so I checked them out.Some critics are calling them emo rock, whatever that is. Anyway, I like them. Love the look and love the songs. They're on tour right now and stopping in Dallas on NOvember 18. I think we might check them out. I'm pretty sure the crowd will be mostly teen girls, but I don't care.When my son worked in Hot Topic he said BVB merch would come in and sell out quickly.Anyway, like I said, I like them. I love finding new and upcoming bands to listen to and see. They remind me of a young Motley Crue with a bit ofA7X and Atreyu thrown in too.If you like those bands, then check them out.

Death Star Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Sorry to burst your bubble but they are absolutely a fucking horrible band along with Asking Alexandria. Yes, I do like screamo, scream-core, hardcore/metalcore, but Black Veil Brides are trying to be the "next Motley Crue" and failing epically. And no they are not EMO. They are a glammy hair band trying to play breakdown influenced metalcore. It really pisses me off when people associate, deathcore and metalcore with emo. If you want good bands that are "break-down core" check out some other bands like Chelsea Grin, The Devil Wears Prada, Suicide Silence, Oceano, which in my opinion are better than Black Veil Brides.But if you like them, that's your choice. They're just not my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Visually they're like a creepy looking group of Ashba clones. Or maybe DJ copies them.The sound is a bit too slick/modern/prefab for me. But I can see why the kids would dig it. I hear a bit of Maiden in there.

RandallFlagg Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 lol asking alexandria, one of the most predictable and embarrassing charades i've ever had the displeasure of trying to figure out why they are so adored. That guy with all the tattoos on his chest, he wore a zeppelin shirt once I wanted to ask him what his favourite track was and how it possibly influenced him.

Val22 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 I do appreciate your input, but like I said I've seen the videos and like the cds.Every band has to start somewhere and I think these guys have potential. I guess time will tell.But I do hear alot of musicial influences in this band. AS for the makeup and hair, it's been done so many times and I believe David Bowie started it way before Motley Crue.The biggest test is live. If I do go to the show, then we shall see. If you can't cut it live, then that's it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tat2d1 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Whenever I see BVB the first thing that comes to mind is " Motley Crue called, and would like to have their Shout At The Devil costumes back". I like some of their music, but I don't like the singer's voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevelle Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I can't take anyone who dresses like/has that much makeup on seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
