Why do people like andy sixx

My interest in the band was so little as a kid. And then as I got older, I found out all these stories about how they were discovered. And then also finding out more about his work with people like Michael Jackson and just to see him pop up over the years. I just have a tremendous amount of respect for anybody who was that innovative. That never came to fruition, though.

Andy Biersack has some theories about that, and he shared them with Alternative Press. No stars. Which by the way, we have heard forever , right? And people like Gene Simmons saying that shit all the time. Look at the music. KISS put out more records before they had a single record that broke. They were able to just keep trying and going and trying and going. And their label went bankrupt trying to break that band. There was just not enough importance placed on developing artists in developing the next generation.

His list of credits now extends over seven albums and includes acting, presenting an online chat show, writing a comic book that accompanies The Ghost Of Ohio and a yet-to-be-released memoir of sorts.

Through a tireless work ethic and self-belief he has arguably changed the course of his life in ways few else manage. Growing up in the spotlight, though, has brought Andy Biersack intense pressure and scrutiny.

As he explains over the course of our conversation with lucid precision despite jet lag, it is a balance he has worked hard to redress in recent years. Growing up in the public eye, do you feel that any past decisions you made will always be open to criticism?

The good thing is, because I was fortunate enough to have any kind of success at that age I was paying attention to my career. The truth is the Black Veil Brides version of me, in the early days, was me trying to create my own version of that character.

So it was hugely inspiring. So the story of that character reached a zenith with me doing nothing but making big declarative statements about how great I am and picking fights. But I think at that age almost all of us are trying to figure out what we are, I just had people paying attention. The Ghost Of Ohio is a provocative title.

How much did your hometown shape the man you are today? I can say it now, but I could never admit back then that all I wanted was to be acknowledged by my hometown. People would come to the shows when Black Veil would play in town and throw shit at us, and make fun of the band even though I was from there. I live there, but my heart has never been there. So when I was 20 that made me really mad. People have their own shit going on and they get on with their own life.

I was drinking heavily and my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. So when we had time off the road just as my grandmother was going into her chemo treatments I went back home to take care of her. The agreement was made, and we decided to move in different ways. So, we wanted to return to that.

What does that look like? I looked into the concept of these duologies, which have often been joining plays, or books that were written in conjunction with one another but released separately to combine and make one full complete story. Is there a grander concept being carved out? How does this all tie in with the re-recording you were doing? How are you feeling about touring again?

Once we moved forward with this new era it fell right off. We were this band that wore makeup and were known for being hated. Follow on Twitter.
