I love Ronnie and Andy despite the hate and I think Andy standing behind him and defending not just another artist but, a friend. I have a lot of respect for the man.
Exactly!!! Andy has professional integrity and respects Ronnie’s talent and contributions to music, but also he’s not a fair-weather friend! If he knows you’re actually a good guy, he’s not gonna stop being your friend bc other people don’t see that. He didn’t hop on a bandwagon for the sake of it and backstab his long-time friend and I respect the hell outta that. I already loved both of these guys before I knew they were friends, but knowing this now just makes me so happy!!! They’ve been two of my faves for so long and they both get so much unnecessary hate… I’m so glad they have each other to lean on and really get what each other are going through in this crazy industry, and this crazy world! It’s like the vibe of when middle or high school sucks and everybody’s out to get each other but you got that one friend that knows how you feel and you get each other through it.
ngl the difference between how Andy addressed the haters and how Ronnie did it is hilarious. Andy was very professional, intellectual and respectful in his response to the haters and then we have Ronnie. 😂 Man he has no filters at all when he speaks. He put those haters in their place. 🤣 Anyway, been a fan of both of them for over a decade now and I still love them both a lot. Hopefully we get some collab from them in the future.
@@saronikray6562 yours would be too if you endured years of somebody calling you a m*rderer, r*pist and a child m*lester. All of which aren't true. Especially when you have an 11 year old daughter.
I am getting a bit tired of people complaining about Ronnie. The "issue" with Ronnie is that he interacts with hate and is very confident in himself and will absolutely share his opinion. I personally don't have an issue with his outspoken personality, but I get that this kind of person is not everyone's favorite guy and that's fine. But please keep it to yourself and don't ruin the fun for everyone. Ronnie has done nothing wrong, he just speaks his mind and the amount of backlash he gets is comparison to the "issue" is just insane. They are now trying to cancel Andy for being on good terms with Ronnie, as if a lot of artists aren't on good terms with him! Asking a band to cancel their shows because you personally don't like an individual they are touring with is actually insane.
@@Benlovescheesethere are plenty of people online that don't know Ronnie in real life making up fake claims on him and everyone just goes with it and believes it without even doing the research for themselves so I don't agree with you at all. Ronnie admits he screwed up in his past. No one is perfect. People online are pathetic id like to see them see him in person and say half of the crap they talk online about him they wouldn't because his haters are pathetic and need to get a life because they aren't perfect either. Leave the man alone he is just a human being like everyone else. I'm tired of it. I've been a fan of Ronnie since he started his career and I will always stick up for him. People need to grow up and spend less time being keyboard warriors and get a life. They also need to stop acting like they know him in real life because they don't.
The thing is, Ronnie constantly talks shit about other band members for literally NO REASON, but yet someone criticizes him in the slightest and he starts throwing a hissy fit. The issue with Ronnie isn’t that he has a “different opinion” it’s the fact that he spreads misinfo about trans people when it’s very clear that he knows nothing about the topic and hasn’t done any proper research. It’s literally like saying “2+2=7, but that’s just my opinion bro” like no, you’re just wrong.
Soooo... you'd rather have an artist not play at all and lose any chance of seeing them live than see them play with a band you don't like? Maybe just try not buying a ticket to the show, and you'll spare yourself this devastating moral conundrum. Glad to see Andy speaking up for himself. He, like Ronnie, refuses to be muzzled or swayed by some (I would assume) continually outraged, sanctimonious social media minority clique.
Yeah except Ronnie goes on month long Twitter rants about how everyone hates him and how he’s so misunderstood when in reality he just sensitive, and he should realize that no one is canceling him
You can say that no one is, with confidence? Me thinks you under a rock. Ronnie is especially targeted for not playing to others demands. @@Milo-it1tf
@@Milo-it1tf Considering his Instagram account has been cancelled twice and videos of his have been removed, I'd have to disagree. I think that the point I am trying to make is that many artists do not express their true thoughts and feelings the way that Ronnie and Andy do to avoid arousing controversy. You don't have to be cancelled as such to self-censor, which many artists are in fact doing. Self-nullifying behavior is antithetical to art since art is quite literally a medium of self-expression. I'm not quite sure if I am responding to your statement, but I hope I have clarified my position to some extent.
@katdosnotdance1555 he was only “canceled” on Twitter cause he was ban by how he miss used the guidelines, it’s his fault, Twitter literally has a list of things you shouldn’t do like false information, sexual harassment, or even threatening people (which is something that Ronnie has done)
@@thomashammerheart3915exactly. Like what you like. Don’t like what you don’t like. That simple. I can respect anyone with different music tastes but as soon as they start calling my taste trash, is the moment I wouldn’t be sad if they disappeared. That negativity is not welcome in my life. I don’t need anyone telling me what I do and don’t like. BVB rules and I’m not ashamed to say that. Haters hate because every member is smart, eloquent, charming and god damn handsome and not afraid to wear studs and makeup. Thats literally every neck beard insecurity. They know how to be entertaining. That’s why they are hated.
The entitlement from some of these fans is insane. To expect an artist to drop off a tour just because you don't personally like an individual on the bill is so self-centered and delusional. Attacking either artist in this situation is a problem, and it makes you apart of the overall problem. You don't actually care about either individual or either band, you're just looking for another reason to get mad. And if you're genuinely offended by anything said by either artist, then don't go to the show. They will do just fine without you. I refuse to believe anyone who is actually mad is past middle school. These two literally wrote music together and Andy was in the Bad Girls Club music video. I will never understand this level of entitlement as a fan.
Its funny to me too, that the controversy on this tour is FIR. The bvb fans are not at all concerned with dgd, a band that welcomed back 2 abusers into the band... TWICE EACH
Mad respect to Andy Biersack for speaking out positively on his own experience touring with Ronnie Radke. Glad these bands aren't listening to random weirdos online and judging from their own experience.
It’s kind of a red flag that he likes talking to a guy that beaten a fan once, not to mention Ronnie is transphobic, he fallows anti trans Twitter accounts
@@Milo-it1tf He is not transphobic, he is anti woke and their delusions which is a different story, he literally had a trans person in one of his recent videos. But if you don't like him, of course that's your right, what the fans have no right to is tell their fav band they should quiet a job because they don't like someone, it's extremely untitled.
@@nevermindgaming6848 I guess you are deaf then, if Andy is a legend Ronnie is way above, but hey don't be jealous, BVB is a great band, I love them, but that's not a reason to trash on the insane ammount of talent Ronnie has
@@nevermindgaming6848 So you're going to deliberately miss out on a huge opportunity to tour and make bank because of some weakass people who can't stop being offended by Ronnie's mere existence?? That speaks more about you than it does about Andy or Ronnie.
Yea, Ronnie and BVB have always had a lot of respect for each other. Christan "CC" Coma of BVB contributed to the song "Drugs" and is also the drummer in the music video.
As a 32y/o BVB fan, I can absolutely confirm that this must be a newcomer thing. Andy and Ronnie have been tight for years and none of this surprises me one bit. Does nobody remember the song “Asshole”?
This literally JUST happened to me right now. Never really considered myself and active listener of BVB, but after this video, I can respect his tasteful way of shutting down the hate. And I'm now off to go listen to their stuff because I'll be supporting BVB when I go to see FIR this September!!
When you speak the Truth you lose all the fake (supposedly) friends. The truth is ugly and often bitter. I'm glad Andy and crew are sticking to their guns and keeping to their Truth❤😊
I'm a huge fan of Ronnie. People don't realize just how respectful and nice Ronnie is behind closed doors. He treats people well and is extremely generous. People tend to only see him when he's fighting back with someone online. And while I'm not really a BVB fan, i think Andy is an awesome guy. Intelligent, loyal, and handles himself well.
I actually found FIR through BVB in middle school over 10 years ago. Saw them both for the first time when they toured together in 2014. Love them both!
Ronnie has his haters obsessed with him! Rent free! Serj is loving the new FIR. A lot of these haters favorite musicians all enjoy what Ronnie is doing, the irony.
No, fr tho. If Serj of all people isn't on the Ronnie hate train, then there's just not a case to be made. Some people just can't tell the difference between differing opinions and discrimination (which is what they accuse Ronnie of regularly), and that's a wild way to think. All these artists respect Ronnie because they know him, it's just the nobodies who act like he's the antichrist...
I'm a 59 yr young drummer and the n my humble opinion when you get an opportunity to get your music out to Hundreds of Thousands people it's a blessing! Even if you don't get treated well ( and that's not the case here) you suck it up and do your job and be thankful you're on that stage. 🥁🥁. Peace and love to you all.
Fun fact : CC , black veil brides drummer , actually stepped in during the filming of the "drugs" music video. FIR and BVB have a great relationship which is not surprising given they both came up around the same time in the same scene. Happy to see friendships in the industry last 👌
I was at the concert in Nampa Idaho and it was the best rock show of my life! (And I've seen my fair share). The energy was so fantastic, the performances were all phenomenal, and there was absolutely no hate or drama! All the bands commented on the great energy, the impressive number of fans who turned up to a show in a small state when they weren't expecting that big of a turnout! It was flawless, Ronnie is an incredible showman and his band backed him up like the pros they are. Black Veil Brides were fantastic as always, and we in Idaho were excited to learn that there is a native in the band! (I don't know how I missed that all these years!). I heard so much commentary from the crowd that was all positive about all the bands, and the energy on the way out after the show was just buzzing with great energy. I sincerely hope the rest of the tour is that magical, everyone in attendance is in for an awesome experience!!
The show in Pittsburgh was also incredible. My number 1 favorite of my concert experiences. No one was ignorant, belligerent or intolerant (expect when it was time to leave that god awful parking, Ronnie even committed how awful we drive..lol) The amount of children and I mean young young children that was there was amazing. I love that at 42 I can take my 17 and 12 y.o. daughters with me and we all sing along. They both did amazing!!!
3:49 this person saying BVB is alienating their neurodivergent fans by touring with Falling in Reverse is funny... I'm autistic myself and I felt no alienation from Avenged Sevenfold or any of my fellow A7x fans I met at the moshpit when I went to see them in concert with Falling in Reverse last year. I've been a huge Avenged Sevenfold fans for years and seeing both bands in Madison Square Gardens was quite a treat. No strangers at the show, just new friends you haven't met yet.
Great to see Andy stand up and speak out about this and not crumble under pressure from a minority of fans like Spiritbox did. I seen BVB a few years back in Glasgow and Andy got hit with a bottle, got pissed and stormed off stage but he came back and finished the set in the end, seems like a decent guy
People are completely fine with hating Ronnie, telling him he's a piece of shit, and wishing harm on him, but the second he responds and says "you're dumb, stop speaking, nobody cares", all of a sudden he's an evil monster. Hoping to see this tour
I've been a fan of BVB for a long time, and of FIR for several years now. Do people really have nothing better to do then to go online and hate on someone they don't even really know? Never understood that, if I don't like something or someone, I don't watch and/or listen to them, is that really so hard? Love to see how Ronnie and Andy defend each other, and that they're not afraid to speak out. You're the only channel I watch when it comes to any sort of news or drama, love your channel and your neutral perspective. Keep being awesome!
I think it has to do with feeling morally superior over everyone else. I’m talking about those that hate them. Also, I suspect majority of them are just children. Or manchildren which is worse. Because that would mean their intelligence is beyond average.
Nah man I was at the Nampa concert with BVB,FIR… man that show was so fking awesome I was right up front and haven’t heard too much of BVB but thier set was incredible his voice and band where on point!!! Seeing them life for the first time definitely makes me a fan. Andy’s voice is incredible man go see them.
I’m not a fan of a lot of the things Ronnie says, but I also have very close friends that I don’t agree with. Both sides have an issue with cancel culture, and hypocrisy. Just don’t go to the show, if that’s how you want to “fight back.” There’s no reason to call out people who are friends of those you don’t care for.
I'm so excited for this tour. i love both BVB and FIR. I've loved BVB since their knives and pens days with the big hair and face paint. FIR had a similar look with the big hair look back in the day and their style and uniqueness drew me in and I've been a long time fan of both (even when Ronnie was in ETF). this tour is gonna be so cool and I'm excited for the stop I will be attending. much love to both these guys and I'm glad Andy is speaking up and Ronnie is defending him and both of them are defending each other and staying true to their long time friendship. you don't turn your back on someone you've been friends with for as long as they have been.
I was at the concert in Idaho and it was a brilliant concert, actually, I'd consider it one of my all-time favorites! Yes, I know that Ronnie is vocal about his thoughts and opinions but shouldn't we be celebrating that? It's important to have a voice and to say what needs to be said. Especially when it includes standing up for ourselves (or the ones we love) when others keep criticizing us. As for Andy, I think it is so cool that he and his band can tour with Falling In Reverse and that they are finding a new audience everywhere they tour. I wish all bands participating in the Popular Monster Tour II all the best and many amazing concerts.
I love to see Andy stay true to his values. He’s one of few people who actually practices what he preaches and leads by example. They could never make me hate him or Ronnie. 🤘🏻❤️🔥
@@brinaw8791 likewise to be fair in reverse, the whole alphabet mafia agenda has gotten WAY too out of hand, especially in schools, the bathroom crap(Ronnie has a daughter to be concerned about), so while I personally don't begrudge anyone living their truth, DON'T force that BS on all of us who want better than indoctrinated youth. Ronnie has said much the same. Keep your private life private, or deal with the backlash.🤷♀️
@@brinaw8791 If Ronnie stopped being his authentic self his personallity would be different, and his music would change too, so to be fair i enjoy his eccentricity that's Ronnie, love it or leave it
We’re going on Sunday in SLC and can’t wait to see FIR and all the supporting bands! Shocker we are going to hear great music and enjoy our evening. Ronnie speaks from the heart and that is some of what endears him to his fan base that and kickass music and insane videos!
The hate for Ronnie Radke seems hilariously astroturfed by social media. People will call people like Mostcritikal someone who goes with the safe opinions from Reddit, and imply that everyone must have a stance or a political activist opinion on everything (even stuff they aren't informed about), just to then get mad at Ronnie for having a stance on things and daring to push back against the hate. I'm sure he has a sense of self awareness, which wouldn't make him a lolcow. The only bad thing he did was claim that streamers could have his music in the background, just to then copyright claim Brad's video reviewing one of his albums. I could understand if Brad was just playing the entire thing back and not saying anything, as that's not transformative enough for fair use, but yeah, people will pick at straws to find anything to write someone off.
This is because Brad did not do a very intelligent review of Radke's work. He started off with personal attacks and juvenile name-calling rather than review the work. This proves to me, Ronnie, and other people that Brad is not intelligent or a real journalist when it comes to reviewing stuff. Facts! Peace out!
@@ManofGreenday2902 I mean, yeah I'm not denying that Brad seems like a useful idiot grifter judging by the H3H3 drama and him being cannibalized by his own viewer base over talking to him, and then having a full mental breakdown over it. I don't disagree with what you said.
@@KingKrouch I watched Brad simply because he looks so miserable. His reviews if you can even call them that, lack any constructive criticism. I’ve seen his take on one of Twenty One Pilots albums. And man was that painful to sit through. Then again he admires Fantano. Which is another prententious music ”critic” that I can’t stand.
as a person, i dont like Ronnie that much, his views are different to mine and i can respect that. id imagine he'd do the same. as a musician and an artist, hes one of the best out there. Andy and BVB can tour with however they want, and actual fans will support that. theyre both great bands that have absolutely killer songs. if people dont want to support a band touring with one you dont like, just dont go to the shows. you dont need to go and the band has no obligation to bow to your demands. theyve got families and lives outside of the rock/metal world and their music supports those families. by creating a stink about this, you're giving it more attention, which'll mean more people are likely to buy tickets to see the shows. the action of bitching online only increases the visibility, so its a losing battles. and, ffs guys, theyre long time friends, theyre going to tour with eachother. if one person, not a member of a band, is going to make you not support a band, you arent a fan
SOOOOOO EXCITED TO SEE FIR AND BVB! First time for seeing both bands and I am beyond stoked for this tour. The ridiculousness of some people is sickening…..
I think Ronnie is a needed breath of fresh air.... I don't understand the hate. Unless of course it's coming from immature, simple minded folk... then I just fault their breeding. Stay Golden,,Ronnie!! ❤️❤️🤘🤘
@aspirationrecords yeah.... it's so sad. I don't think there's a person on this planet that hasn't done at least one regrettable thing but there's plenty who will throw it in your face forever. 💯💯💯
Tbh I dislike him bc he just comes off as A) rude all the time B) seems to say awful things then when someone gets upset says "ugh I'm just being real snowflake" like bruh you're not "real" you're just mean loudly and confidently. But to each their own, I guess
I’ve been a fan of both bands for years so I was thrilled to see them touring together. It’s great hearing that they’ve had better fan experiences for this tour as well. I went to TOT for all three bands who played because I’m a big fan of all of them, and there were a LOT of people who left as soon as BVB came out. It’s nice to hear that they’re having a better experience this tour.
Ronnie's only problem is feeding the trolls. But you can't blame a guy for getting pissed off and wanting to clear his name when it's being smeared by obsessed weirdos online. I think how many friends he has in the industry speaks wonders of him as a person otherwise no one would work with him. He has the support of A7X, papa roach, Corey Taylor, Jelly roll so many level headed good bands. If you people wanna cry then don't get the tickets then fine I'll have them
I have no opinion about Ronnie whatsoever, I'm m honestly just saying this in general: Just because someone has been longtime friends with someone else that has opposing viewpoints than them, doesn't automatically mean one of them can't be a total bigot. We've all had a shitty friend or 2 in our lives. It's like someone who's racist claiming they can't possibly be so because they have a black friend. Case in point, my father, has always been extremely open & even proud to call himself a racist, but he still has a childhood "friend" that is black 🤷🏽♂️
Been following both BVB and FIR since I was 12 (26 now), love both of the bands. Andy and Ronnie are awesome guys, fuck what anyone else says about either of them. Seeing them in Dallas, can’t wait!
Go if you can... it was a great se at Ridgefield Washington! Im 53 and it was definitely up there in memorable concerts! Tech N9ne, dance Gavin Dance, BVB, and Falling In Reverse! Took my daughters and 3 of my grand kids memories for sure. (now my 14 yr old grand daughter is loving BVB )
I actually had Andy in my home before he became famous and long before bvb was a band ... Both himself and Ronnie are very respectful people and people need to remember these are real people with real feelings, is so sad to see in this day and age that people hate artists based on what they want to speak of or sorry "sing of" everyone has a voice and they are absolutely allowed to speak that voice, sometimes it saves lives ... Js
I've been a fan of BVB for as long as I've been a fan of Escape the fate (with Ronnie) and then Falling in reverse... since back in 2008! I truly can't understand the hate these guys get, they are both incredibly talented lyricists, vocalists and composers I draw up their opinions on social media not being liked because people don't want to be treated like adults and have accountability, Ronnie and Andy are generally extremely based and real about what they support and how they feel, you have to respect that in a public figure I'd love to go to a double line up of these two bands, sadly BVB hasn't come to my country in a decade and FIR hasn't been in 8 years
I love both of these bands. I would go in a heartbeat if they were closer to 8 hours away from me. I think those that aren’t giving this lineup a chance are really missing out on something very fun.
Good for you Andy, absolutely sick of this cry baby cancel culture that's ripping through this age! Tbh if they really loved BVB they wouldn't be asking you to not tour with Ronnie, plus that tours gonna be huge you guys will pick up alot of new fans ! I found out who BVB were from watching Falling in Reverse stuff 🖤
I have a *theory* that I like to call the Ronnie Radke Filtering System. My *theory* goes as follows: Bands tour with Falling In Reverse to get rid of some of their more obnoxious, opinionated fans. I've seen it happen with other bands. I love it. The Karens announce their departure from the fandom, and the rest of us get to actually enjoy the music. Of course, the fact that FIR is one of the biggest bands in metal right now certainly doesn't hurt for the openers either. As a side note, I really appreciate Andy. I may not like his music, but he seems like a cool guy. We aren't going to see this tour because the tickets and fees are a bit too much for us given that we only want to see the headliner, but hopefully we'll catch the next one.
I simply don't understand why Ronnie is hated. I grew up in 70s and 80s and tons of rock stars had attitude and spoke their minds. Ronnie is pure brilliance as any attention is good
Have loved both bands for over 12 years now. The haters really have no idea what they're saying lol. Especially about Ronnie. I researched about him when I was a teen. ✨
I do not understand… are people to expect someone to get trashed daily and NOT say something back? Maybe one day their kids will come home with the same story and maybe they will tell their kids to stand up for themselves. Or just call them the same shit they call Ronnie, who knows anymore. Not me.
I love both BVB and FIR. I’m excited to see both . However I will say this BVB fans (not all of them but most of them ) have been some of the rudest people I’ve met. They love to talk about how bvb is supposed to be about “unity” but will quickly attack you if you don’t agree with their opinion. Regardless I’m happy Andy spoke up and I look forward to seeing them both ❤ Edit : I would also like to add that when the tour was announced fans on FIR were excited to see BVB on tour. However when BVB announced the tour their fans were full of hate towards FIR fans and Ronnie .
I think I’ve heard maybe 1 BVB song in my life and it honestly wasn’t my thing. I actually hadn’t even listened to FIR since maybe 2014 ish again not really my thing. I checked out the Watch the World Burn video out of boredom about a month ago and it was NOT what I remember FIR being(emo really isn’t my thing). I went down a rabbit hole with them and I was surprised how much I enjoyed their more current stuff so much so I bought tickets for their upcoming Boston show. I can see how Ronnie can rub some people the wrong we he speaks his mind and sometimes says what people are thinking but are afraid to say. Do I agree with everything he says or dies? No of course not but I also don’t think he’s this super bad guy like some people portray(he’s definitely made his fair share of mistakes and fuck ups in life). After seeing Andy’s response and how he handled that situation I’m definitely going to give BVB a closer listen in Boston in September.
i think that part of the love and acceptance from the fans is because the number of bands that stopped touring with FIR, its like we are happy somebody is touring with them and giving us a hell of a show worthy of the money spent. also my personal view of ronnie is, he absolutely right to take on the haters and call them out, if you hate him so much why comment on his videos, why cant you just leave him alone and do something else. love ronnie and FIR and i cant wait to see more of his cinematic universe play out.
BVB was great in idaho! I'm not too familiar with them, but they put on a great show! I'm definitely looking into their music now after seeing them open for FIR here in idaho. It was a fantastic show!
I feel a little bad hearing this because I absolutely was a bvb hater going into the trinity tour, but after seeing them live I'm absolutely a huuuge fan now
it blows my mind that so many self-absorb fans feel like an artist or band 'belongs' to them because they've 'love their music'. Like, what??!! And to make demands of the bands, hold them hostage, blackmail them, threaten them... stinks to high heaven of a most toxic, abusive 'relationship' ever. These snowflakes do NOT live in real life. They have grown up in a virtual reality and just have no fuk'in clue. I recommend therapy.
I had that exact A7x shirt Andy was wearing in that old pic haha. Good 'ol days. It's always the bigoted people that call others bigots. Good on BVB for staying on tour.
I actually think BVB has a few masterpieces for albums. The Wretched & Divine album is their Master of Puppets and there’s like 14 bangers on it. I haven’t really listened to them since that album though. Andy is a good dude too.
as long as you're making headlines you're doing something right. Two solid bands out there making a living feeding their families. Enjoy the shows or don't buy a ticket.... simple stuff here...
I think it would be awesome to see my 2 favorite artists and their bands play together. I do have other music interests. They are so awesome, and their messages are very clear.
Wtf? Ronnie and Andy have been friends forever. Andy is in a FiR music video and did a track on Ronnie’s solo rap album. Hell BVB drummer toured with FiR as their drummer for like a year.
People often forget that humans aren't direct copies of what we put out onto the internet. These two being such close friends means that they know each other better than some random tiktok user who thinks bullying is justified if someone doesn't share the same moral or political views as them.
First off I was highly impressed with Andy’s comment! Very genuine, well spoken and don’t get me started on that vocabulary! Secondly, I feel this has all gotten so stupidly out of hand! Most if not all of the re/tarded accusations against Ronny are false and I came to that conclusion because I did my research rather than listening to misinformed people! It’s so simple, if you have nothing nice to say then don’t say anything at all! That can be easily achieved by STFU! Can’t wait to see them live on the 29th! GO!
As someone who has been in the arts her entire life (my parents are actors, I'm an actress and stage manager) I can confirm what I am about to say: sometimes an artist HAS to take work that doesn't entirely (or at all) mesh with their own personal values or beliefs. Trying to survive in this capitalist system by only work on projects that absolutely follow your values is impossible, especially with the economy being the way that it is. No matter what, you need money to not starve or loose your house. Every artist has had to make a decision like this at some point in their career, especially if they want to grow their platform. it sucks, and we don't particularly like it either, but it's a decision we all have to make.
I know it’s super cliche, the whole “BVB army” thing, but I have a tattoo of their logo on my chest and I’m proud of it because Andy and his band have truly grown up as adults and professionals and artists and that’s awesome
People just dont like Ronnie because he speaks truth about almost everything he says. And as we all know, the truth can be a scary thing. But this doesnt mean we should try to shut someone down for speaking their mind. We should actually encourage more people to speak their mind and live without a filter so theres less snowflakes in the world. At this day and age everyone is to sensitive. Its okay to be sensitive to some things, but if youre being to sensitive about everything then youre probably the problem not the other person
I've never seen BVB live and am willing to give just about any rock band a chance live. No desire whatsoever to give any kind of hate, especially to a band I don't really know. I'll happily give them a fair chance as I do with smaller artists like some of the guys touring with Limp Biscuit right now. Why not?
just went and seen them at Montage Mountain last night, BVB, Tech 9' Dance Gavin Dance, all put on an epic show, and FIR absolutely killed it. Ronnie Radke is a once in a generation talent, people are always gonna because they don't come close to the skills and in that industry they are capable of getting clos
Lol BVB and FIR have always gone hand in hand. BVB is how I learned of FIR. Any BVB fan that is "outraged" by this clearly hasn't been paying attention.
Wait 😂 I have lived for this day I’m going too their concert today and im ecstatic 🤩 having two amazing bands play at the same time I’m fricken 9 months pregnant and still made sure I could go people are nuts 😂 I freaked out when I found out they were touring together ❤
Tbh I'm a massive bvb fan, but not fir fan (music wise or Ronnie) and therefore will not be attending the tour. And frankly, I don't understand why ppl give Ronnie a pass? He seems like an alternative style elon. He gives very strong jerk who hides behind the "I'm just being real" line vibes. And I've known ppl like that irl and they're not pleasant to be around. Just my opinion tho.
I'm sure everyone has different reasons, but as a bvb fan, a lot of us don't appreciate Ronnie's transphobic comments or the fact that he doubled down when called out on it. Bvb and the bvb community is really supportive of our lgbtq+ members, so you can see why it leaves a bad taste.
yo so many people are unhinged , any real BvB or Andy fan would know theyre friends and would want this tour, also tired of people saying ronnie is a bigot etc like what proof? dudes around all the types of people that people say he hates all the time. this is why i dont go on the internet anymore
How disheartening that they were hated on the legs of the Trinity tour. I thought they were fantastic! I saw the last leg and I had a blast. F the haters!! Andy is a very talented and well spoken person, I love watching his interviews.

I love Ronnie and Andy despite the hate and I think Andy standing behind him and defending not just another artist but, a friend. I have a lot of respect for the man.
Exactly!!! Andy has professional integrity and respects Ronnie’s talent and contributions to music, but also he’s not a fair-weather friend! If he knows you’re actually a good guy, he’s not gonna stop being your friend bc other people don’t see that. He didn’t hop on a bandwagon for the sake of it and backstab his long-time friend and I respect the hell outta that. I already loved both of these guys before I knew they were friends, but knowing this now just makes me so happy!!! They’ve been two of my faves for so long and they both get so much unnecessary hate… I’m so glad they have each other to lean on and really get what each other are going through in this crazy industry, and this crazy world! It’s like the vibe of when middle or high school sucks and everybody’s out to get each other but you got that one friend that knows how you feel and you get each other through it.
ngl the difference between how Andy addressed the haters and how Ronnie did it is hilarious. Andy was very professional, intellectual and respectful in his response to the haters and then we have Ronnie. 😂
Man he has no filters at all when he speaks. He put those haters in their place. 🤣
Anyway, been a fan of both of them for over a decade now and I still love them both a lot. Hopefully we get some collab from them in the future.
I love how Ronnie takes care of the haters😂 Life is too short to care
@missgrim4646 yes this...
To be fair nobody is calling Andy a m*rderer or r*pist are they??
@kathleenclark815 no but u gotta admit how funny Ronnie's skin's thin as fuck 😂
@@saronikray6562 yours would be too if you endured years of somebody calling you a m*rderer, r*pist and a child m*lester. All of which aren't true. Especially when you have an 11 year old daughter.
I am getting a bit tired of people complaining about Ronnie. The "issue" with Ronnie is that he interacts with hate and is very confident in himself and will absolutely share his opinion. I personally don't have an issue with his outspoken personality, but I get that this kind of person is not everyone's favorite guy and that's fine. But please keep it to yourself and don't ruin the fun for everyone. Ronnie has done nothing wrong, he just speaks his mind and the amount of backlash he gets is comparison to the "issue" is just insane. They are now trying to cancel Andy for being on good terms with Ronnie, as if a lot of artists aren't on good terms with him!
Asking a band to cancel their shows because you personally don't like an individual they are touring with is actually insane.
Well he has done bad things and he says he's done them so... Not entirely true.
@@Benlovescheesethere are plenty of people online that don't know Ronnie in real life making up fake claims on him and everyone just goes with it and believes it without even doing the research for themselves so I don't agree with you at all. Ronnie admits he screwed up in his past. No one is perfect. People online are pathetic id like to see them see him in person and say half of the crap they talk online about him they wouldn't because his haters are pathetic and need to get a life because they aren't perfect either. Leave the man alone he is just a human being like everyone else. I'm tired of it. I've been a fan of Ronnie since he started his career and I will always stick up for him. People need to grow up and spend less time being keyboard warriors and get a life. They also need to stop acting like they know him in real life because they don't.
The thing is, Ronnie constantly talks shit about other band members for literally NO REASON, but yet someone criticizes him in the slightest and he starts throwing a hissy fit. The issue with Ronnie isn’t that he has a “different opinion” it’s the fact that he spreads misinfo about trans people when it’s very clear that he knows nothing about the topic and hasn’t done any proper research. It’s literally like saying “2+2=7, but that’s just my opinion bro” like no, you’re just wrong.
He's 40 and he's proud of all the things he's done in the past. That shit gets tired and annoying very quickly.
@@BBQFarts😂
Soooo... you'd rather have an artist not play at all and lose any chance of seeing them live than see them play with a band you don't like? Maybe just try not buying a ticket to the show, and you'll spare yourself this devastating moral conundrum. Glad to see Andy speaking up for himself. He, like Ronnie, refuses to be muzzled or swayed by some (I would assume) continually outraged, sanctimonious social media minority clique.
Well said!
Yeah except Ronnie goes on month long Twitter rants about how everyone hates him and how he’s so misunderstood when in reality he just sensitive, and he should realize that no one is canceling him
You can say that no one is, with confidence? Me thinks you under a rock. Ronnie is especially targeted for not playing to others demands. @@Milo-it1tf
@@Milo-it1tf Considering his Instagram account has been cancelled twice and videos of his have been removed, I'd have to disagree. I think that the point I am trying to make is that many artists do not express their true thoughts and feelings the way that Ronnie and Andy do to avoid arousing controversy. You don't have to be cancelled as such to self-censor, which many artists are in fact doing. Self-nullifying behavior is antithetical to art since art is quite literally a medium of self-expression. I'm not quite sure if I am responding to your statement, but I hope I have clarified my position to some extent.
@katdosnotdance1555 he was only “canceled” on Twitter cause he was ban by how he miss used the guidelines, it’s his fault, Twitter literally has a list of things you shouldn’t do like false information, sexual harassment, or even threatening people (which is something that Ronnie has done)
Remember when BVB was never mentioned in conversation unless there was hate involved? I'm glad we've all grown since then
Nah there music is still trash, always was always will be
Growing out of the metal “elitist” phase was the best thing for my social skills AND my ears 🎵
Most people grow out of bvb
Never was a bad band, still aren't. Don't much care for the 4th album but everything else (including Andy's solo music) is pretty solid.
@@thomashammerheart3915exactly. Like what you like. Don’t like what you don’t like. That simple. I can respect anyone with different music tastes but as soon as they start calling my taste trash, is the moment I wouldn’t be sad if they disappeared. That negativity is not welcome in my life. I don’t need anyone telling me what I do and don’t like. BVB rules and I’m not ashamed to say that. Haters hate because every member is smart, eloquent, charming and god damn handsome and not afraid to wear studs and makeup. Thats literally every neck beard insecurity. They know how to be entertaining. That’s why they are hated.
The entitlement from some of these fans is insane. To expect an artist to drop off a tour just because you don't personally like an individual on the bill is so self-centered and delusional. Attacking either artist in this situation is a problem, and it makes you apart of the overall problem. You don't actually care about either individual or either band, you're just looking for another reason to get mad. And if you're genuinely offended by anything said by either artist, then don't go to the show. They will do just fine without you. I refuse to believe anyone who is actually mad is past middle school. These two literally wrote music together and Andy was in the Bad Girls Club music video. I will never understand this level of entitlement as a fan.
Its funny to me too, that the controversy on this tour is FIR. The bvb fans are not at all concerned with dgd, a band that welcomed back 2 abusers into the band... TWICE EACH
Mad respect to Andy Biersack for speaking out positively on his own experience touring with Ronnie Radke. Glad these bands aren't listening to random weirdos online and judging from their own experience.
It’s kind of a red flag that he likes talking to a guy that beaten a fan once, not to mention Ronnie is transphobic, he fallows anti trans Twitter accounts
@@Milo-it1tfthis was a very nice video
@@Milo-it1tf He is not transphobic, he is anti woke and their delusions which is a different story, he literally had a trans person in one of his recent videos. But if you don't like him, of course that's your right, what the fans have no right to is tell their fav band they should quiet a job because they don't like someone, it's extremely untitled.
They toured together years ago and no one complained then. People need to grow up.
How does Andy still look like he's 20?! Both him and Ronnie are legends.
Andy yes Ronnie no
@@nevermindgaming6848 I guess you are deaf then, if Andy is a legend Ronnie is way above, but hey don't be jealous, BVB is a great band, I love them, but that's not a reason to trash on the insane ammount of talent Ronnie has
Any fan who expects their favorite band to drop out of a tour with Falling in Reverse wasn't a fan to begin with.
I probably would drop out
@@nevermindgaming6848 So you're going to deliberately miss out on a huge opportunity to tour and make bank because of some weakass people who can't stop being offended by Ronnie's mere existence?? That speaks more about you than it does about Andy or Ronnie.
They must be young BVB fans as most of their long term fans will know they are friends with FIR (since Ronnie left prison)
Bro I’m a FIR fan and the new fans of FIR are annoying as well. Always felt like BVB & FIR were kinda attached at the hip
Yea, Ronnie and BVB have always had a lot of respect for each other. Christan "CC" Coma of BVB contributed to the song "Drugs" and is also the drummer in the music video.
Exactly what I was thinking also.
As a 32y/o BVB fan, I can absolutely confirm that this must be a newcomer thing. Andy and Ronnie have been tight for years and none of this surprises me one bit. Does nobody remember the song “Asshole”?
@@PigglyWigglyDeluxe I remember that song it was fire back then, today it did grow a little old, but still a great song
People forget Andy was in Ronnie’s music video for bad girls club like a decade ago
And they also did the song a$$hole together from Ronnie's mix tape. If you haven't heard it, you need to check it out!
@@TherapyGurl such a great song 😂😂😊
For each fan Andy loses over Ronnie, he will gain a new one from the FIR fans that respect him!
I liked BVB to begin with but finding out they were friends did get me listening to more of their music and now they're one of my faves too.
This literally JUST happened to me right now. Never really considered myself and active listener of BVB, but after this video, I can respect his tasteful way of shutting down the hate. And I'm now off to go listen to their stuff because I'll be supporting BVB when I go to see FIR this September!!
Word! If I wasn't already a fan of Andy, I'd be now for how he sticks up for Ronnie💪
I'll buy merch at the show in boston!
When you speak the Truth you lose all the fake (supposedly) friends. The truth is ugly and often bitter. I'm glad Andy and crew are sticking to their guns and keeping to their Truth❤😊
I'm a huge fan of Ronnie. People don't realize just how respectful and nice Ronnie is behind closed doors. He treats people well and is extremely generous. People tend to only see him when he's fighting back with someone online. And while I'm not really a BVB fan, i think Andy is an awesome guy. Intelligent, loyal, and handles himself well.
I actually found FIR through BVB in middle school over 10 years ago. Saw them both for the first time when they toured together in 2014. Love them both!
BVB plays a Billy Idol cover, I’ve never said anything like this but likeeee protect them at all costs. Hell yeah for Ronnie bringing them out!
Ronnie has his haters obsessed with him! Rent free! Serj is loving the new FIR. A lot of these haters favorite musicians all enjoy what Ronnie is doing, the irony.
“That’s irony, That’s irony”
No, fr tho. If Serj of all people isn't on the Ronnie hate train, then there's just not a case to be made. Some people just can't tell the difference between differing opinions and discrimination (which is what they accuse Ronnie of regularly), and that's a wild way to think. All these artists respect Ronnie because they know him, it's just the nobodies who act like he's the antichrist...
Really, Serj? The more ya know I guess
Where does Serj talk about new FIR?
Oh geez
I'm a 59 yr young drummer and the n my humble opinion when you get an opportunity to get your music out to Hundreds of Thousands people it's a blessing! Even if you don't get treated well ( and that's not the case here) you suck it up and do your job and be thankful you're on that stage. 🥁🥁. Peace and love to you all.
Good on him for not giving in to the pressure of these obsessive vultures.
Fun fact : CC , black veil brides drummer , actually stepped in during the filming of the "drugs" music video. FIR and BVB have a great relationship which is not surprising given they both came up around the same time in the same scene. Happy to see friendships in the industry last 👌
You know Andy is actually in a Falling in Reverse video? Bad girls Club
@@kathleenclark815Andy and rannie also did a song together called ass hole
@@jookitty2148 yes I know
didn't the drummer even toured with Falling in Reverse when Ronnie couldn't find a new drummer to fill in the spot ?
I was at the concert in Nampa Idaho and it was the best rock show of my life! (And I've seen my fair share). The energy was so fantastic, the performances were all phenomenal, and there was absolutely no hate or drama! All the bands commented on the great energy, the impressive number of fans who turned up to a show in a small state when they weren't expecting that big of a turnout! It was flawless, Ronnie is an incredible showman and his band backed him up like the pros they are. Black Veil Brides were fantastic as always, and we in Idaho were excited to learn that there is a native in the band! (I don't know how I missed that all these years!). I heard so much commentary from the crowd that was all positive about all the bands, and the energy on the way out after the show was just buzzing with great energy. I sincerely hope the rest of the tour is that magical, everyone in attendance is in for an awesome experience!!
The show in Pittsburgh was also incredible. My number 1 favorite of my concert experiences. No one was ignorant, belligerent or intolerant (expect when it was time to leave that god awful parking, Ronnie even committed how awful we drive..lol) The amount of children and I mean young young children that was there was amazing. I love that at 42 I can take my 17 and 12 y.o. daughters with me and we all sing along. They both did amazing!!!
I love them both. I was at the show in Nampa and it was amazing. If any of you get a chance to go, please do so!!
Andy literally made a song with Ronnie about Ronnie's reputation called "asshole". Why would people think he'd pull out now?
we all love both. no haters at the shows that ive seen
3:49 this person saying BVB is alienating their neurodivergent fans by touring with Falling in Reverse is funny... I'm autistic myself and I felt no alienation from Avenged Sevenfold or any of my fellow A7x fans I met at the moshpit when I went to see them in concert with Falling in Reverse last year. I've been a huge Avenged Sevenfold fans for years and seeing both bands in Madison Square Gardens was quite a treat. No strangers at the show, just new friends you haven't met yet.
I'm pretty sure most FiR fans have some form of the 'tism (I have it as well) so idk what that is about tbh. Ronnie is a chill dude
Great to see Andy stand up and speak out about this and not crumble under pressure from a minority of fans like Spiritbox did.
I seen BVB a few years back in Glasgow and Andy got hit with a bottle, got pissed and stormed off stage but he came back and finished the set in the end, seems like a decent guy
Yeah I love spiritboxs music but thought that was massively lame of them.
@@Madchris8828 I like some of their songs myself but yeah, that lost them alot of respect for sure
What happened with Spiritbox?
@@Edge51 They pulled out of a tour with Falling because they couldn't handle the backlash from some of their fans
People are completely fine with hating Ronnie, telling him he's a piece of shit, and wishing harm on him, but the second he responds and says "you're dumb, stop speaking, nobody cares", all of a sudden he's an evil monster. Hoping to see this tour
I've been a fan of BVB for a long time, and of FIR for several years now. Do people really have nothing better to do then to go online and hate on someone they don't even really know? Never understood that, if I don't like something or someone, I don't watch and/or listen to them, is that really so hard? Love to see how Ronnie and Andy defend each other, and that they're not afraid to speak out.
You're the only channel I watch when it comes to any sort of news or drama, love your channel and your neutral perspective. Keep being awesome!
I think it has to do with feeling morally superior over everyone else. I’m talking about those that hate them. Also, I suspect majority of them are just children. Or manchildren which is worse. Because that would mean their intelligence is beyond average.
I can't wait for this concert Friday!!! Super excited about both bands!
I saw it on Sunday and want to go again!! Enjoy your concert!!
I’m going Friday too! It’s going to be great !
I wish I could go and see both falling in reverse and black veil brides in concert this tour they are both my favorite bands
Nah man I was at the Nampa concert with BVB,FIR… man that show was so fking awesome I was right up front and haven’t heard too much of BVB but thier set was incredible his voice and band where on point!!! Seeing them life for the first time definitely makes me a fan. Andy’s voice is incredible man go see them.
I’m not a fan of a lot of the things Ronnie says, but I also have very close friends that I don’t agree with. Both sides have an issue with cancel culture, and hypocrisy. Just don’t go to the show, if that’s how you want to “fight back.” There’s no reason to call out people who are friends of those you don’t care for.
I'm so excited for this tour. i love both BVB and FIR. I've loved BVB since their knives and pens days with the big hair and face paint. FIR had a similar look with the big hair look back in the day and their style and uniqueness drew me in and I've been a long time fan of both (even when Ronnie was in ETF). this tour is gonna be so cool and I'm excited for the stop I will be attending. much love to both these guys and I'm glad Andy is speaking up and Ronnie is defending him and both of them are defending each other and staying true to their long time friendship. you don't turn your back on someone you've been friends with for as long as they have been.
I was at the concert in Idaho and it was a brilliant concert, actually, I'd consider it one of my all-time favorites!
Yes, I know that Ronnie is vocal about his thoughts and opinions but shouldn't we be celebrating that? It's important to have a voice and to say what needs to be said. Especially when it includes standing up for ourselves (or the ones we love) when others keep criticizing us.
As for Andy, I think it is so cool that he and his band can tour with Falling In Reverse and that they are finding a new audience everywhere they tour. I wish all bands participating in the Popular Monster Tour II all the best and many amazing concerts.
I still remember the day I discovered Ronnie and Andy's song they did together.
I guess I'll check out Black Veil Brides and remember the name Andy Biersack 👌🏻
I love to see Andy stay true to his values. He’s one of few people who actually practices what he preaches and leads by example. They could never make me hate him or Ronnie. 🤘🏻❤️🔥
Im freaking looking forward to this show! Sept 12 can't come fast enough :)
Love Andy, love BVB. I really don't understand the hate.
People hate the Truth. It takes one out of their comfort zone and people have gotten soft. It takes courage and strength to hold to one's Truths❤.
I mean, to be fair, Ronnie has doubled down on his transphobic comments which is why a lot of ppl don't want to support him (among other things)
@@brinaw8791 likewise to be fair in reverse, the whole alphabet mafia agenda has gotten WAY too out of hand, especially in schools, the bathroom crap(Ronnie has a daughter to be concerned about), so while I personally don't begrudge anyone living their truth, DON'T force that BS on all of us who want better than indoctrinated youth. Ronnie has said much the same. Keep your private life private, or deal with the backlash.🤷♀️
@@brinaw8791 If Ronnie stopped being his authentic self his personallity would be different, and his music would change too, so to be fair i enjoy his eccentricity that's Ronnie, love it or leave it
Hell yeah love them both 💪🏼🔥👌thanks buddy have a great day later
I love how intelligent and articulate Andy is in his support of Ronnie!
Yet Andy is friends with Onision😔
Fuck the haters, the show is gonna rock!
We’re going on Sunday in SLC and can’t wait to see FIR and all the supporting bands! Shocker we are going to hear great music and enjoy our evening. Ronnie speaks from the heart and that is some of what endears him to his fan base that and kickass music and insane videos!
The Eternal battle of Phone Screen usernames vs People in real life
The hate for Ronnie Radke seems hilariously astroturfed by social media. People will call people like Mostcritikal someone who goes with the safe opinions from Reddit, and imply that everyone must have a stance or a political activist opinion on everything (even stuff they aren't informed about), just to then get mad at Ronnie for having a stance on things and daring to push back against the hate. I'm sure he has a sense of self awareness, which wouldn't make him a lolcow.
The only bad thing he did was claim that streamers could have his music in the background, just to then copyright claim Brad's video reviewing one of his albums. I could understand if Brad was just playing the entire thing back and not saying anything, as that's not transformative enough for fair use, but yeah, people will pick at straws to find anything to write someone off.
This is because Brad did not do a very intelligent review of Radke's work. He started off with personal attacks and juvenile name-calling rather than review the work. This proves to me, Ronnie, and other people that Brad is not intelligent or a real journalist when it comes to reviewing stuff. Facts! Peace out!
@@ManofGreenday2902 I mean, yeah I'm not denying that Brad seems like a useful idiot grifter judging by the H3H3 drama and him being cannibalized by his own viewer base over talking to him, and then having a full mental breakdown over it. I don't disagree with what you said.
@@KingKrouch I watched Brad simply because he looks so miserable. His reviews if you can even call them that, lack any constructive criticism. I’ve seen his take on one of Twenty One Pilots albums. And man was that painful to sit through. Then again he admires Fantano. Which is another prententious music ”critic” that I can’t stand.
as a person, i dont like Ronnie that much, his views are different to mine and i can respect that. id imagine he'd do the same. as a musician and an artist, hes one of the best out there. Andy and BVB can tour with however they want, and actual fans will support that. theyre both great bands that have absolutely killer songs.
if people dont want to support a band touring with one you dont like, just dont go to the shows. you dont need to go and the band has no obligation to bow to your demands. theyve got families and lives outside of the rock/metal world and their music supports those families. by creating a stink about this, you're giving it more attention, which'll mean more people are likely to buy tickets to see the shows. the action of bitching online only increases the visibility, so its a losing battles.
and, ffs guys, theyre long time friends, theyre going to tour with eachother. if one person, not a member of a band, is going to make you not support a band, you arent a fan
SOOOOOO EXCITED TO SEE FIR AND BVB! First time for seeing both bands and I am beyond stoked for this tour. The ridiculousness of some people is sickening…..
I think Ronnie is a needed breath of fresh air.... I don't understand the hate. Unless of course it's coming from immature, simple minded folk... then I just fault their breeding.
Stay Golden,,Ronnie!! ❤️❤️🤘🤘
They hate him bc of things he did 12+ years ago
@aspirationrecords yeah.... it's so sad. I don't think there's a person on this planet that hasn't done at least one regrettable thing but there's plenty who will throw it in your face forever. 💯💯💯
Tbh I dislike him bc he just comes off as A) rude all the time B) seems to say awful things then when someone gets upset says "ugh I'm just being real snowflake" like bruh you're not "real" you're just mean loudly and confidently. But to each their own, I guess
@@brinaw879180% of the stuff he says is joking.. he actually was really nice I've met him twice
Good on Andy Biersack! Nice to know there's still people out there thinking for themselves! 🤘🏼💙
Can't wait to see em on tour September in NC!!🤘
I’ve been a fan of both bands for years so I was thrilled to see them touring together. It’s great hearing that they’ve had better fan experiences for this tour as well. I went to TOT for all three bands who played because I’m a big fan of all of them, and there were a LOT of people who left as soon as BVB came out. It’s nice to hear that they’re having a better experience this tour.
So excited to see them both today! They're the only 2 bands left on my bucket list that I really want to see. It's an awesome lineup!
Ronnie's only problem is feeding the trolls. But you can't blame a guy for getting pissed off and wanting to clear his name when it's being smeared by obsessed weirdos online. I think how many friends he has in the industry speaks wonders of him as a person otherwise no one would work with him. He has the support of A7X, papa roach, Corey Taylor, Jelly roll so many level headed good bands. If you people wanna cry then don't get the tickets then fine I'll have them
I have no opinion about Ronnie whatsoever, I'm m honestly just saying this in general: Just because someone has been longtime friends with someone else that has opposing viewpoints than them, doesn't automatically mean one of them can't be a total bigot. We've all had a shitty friend or 2 in our lives. It's like someone who's racist claiming they can't possibly be so because they have a black friend. Case in point, my father, has always been extremely open & even proud to call himself a racist, but he still has a childhood "friend" that is black 🤷🏽♂️
Been following both BVB and FIR since I was 12 (26 now), love both of the bands. Andy and Ronnie are awesome guys, fuck what anyone else says about either of them. Seeing them in Dallas, can’t wait!
Go if you can... it was a great se at Ridgefield Washington! Im 53 and it was definitely up there in memorable concerts! Tech N9ne, dance Gavin Dance, BVB, and Falling In Reverse! Took my daughters and 3 of my grand kids memories for sure. (now my 14 yr old grand daughter is loving BVB )
I actually had Andy in my home before he became famous and long before bvb was a band ... Both himself and Ronnie are very respectful people and people need to remember these are real people with real feelings, is so sad to see in this day and age that people hate artists based on what they want to speak of or sorry "sing of" everyone has a voice and they are absolutely allowed to speak that voice, sometimes it saves lives ... Js
I've been a fan of BVB for as long as I've been a fan of Escape the fate (with Ronnie) and then Falling in reverse... since back in 2008!
I truly can't understand the hate these guys get, they are both incredibly talented lyricists, vocalists and composers
I draw up their opinions on social media not being liked because people don't want to be treated like adults and have accountability, Ronnie and Andy are generally extremely based and real about what they support and how they feel, you have to respect that in a public figure
I'd love to go to a double line up of these two bands, sadly BVB hasn't come to my country in a decade and FIR hasn't been in 8 years
Huge respect to him for speaking out❤
I love both of these bands. I would go in a heartbeat if they were closer to 8 hours away from me. I think those that aren’t giving this lineup a chance are really missing out on something very fun.
Good for you Andy, absolutely sick of this cry baby cancel culture that's ripping through this age!
Tbh if they really loved BVB they wouldn't be asking you to not tour with Ronnie, plus that tours gonna be huge you guys will pick up alot of new fans ! I found out who BVB were from watching Falling in Reverse stuff 🖤
I have a *theory* that I like to call the Ronnie Radke Filtering System. My *theory* goes as follows: Bands tour with Falling In Reverse to get rid of some of their more obnoxious, opinionated fans. I've seen it happen with other bands. I love it. The Karens announce their departure from the fandom, and the rest of us get to actually enjoy the music. Of course, the fact that FIR is one of the biggest bands in metal right now certainly doesn't hurt for the openers either.
As a side note, I really appreciate Andy. I may not like his music, but he seems like a cool guy. We aren't going to see this tour because the tickets and fees are a bit too much for us given that we only want to see the headliner, but hopefully we'll catch the next one.
I simply don't understand why Ronnie is hated. I grew up in 70s and 80s and tons of rock stars had attitude and spoke their minds. Ronnie is pure brilliance as any attention is good
Have loved both bands for over 12 years now. The haters really have no idea what they're saying lol. Especially about Ronnie. I researched about him when I was a teen. ✨
I do not understand… are people to expect someone to get trashed daily and NOT say something back? Maybe one day their kids will come home with the same story and maybe they will tell their kids to stand up for themselves. Or just call them the same shit they call Ronnie, who knows anymore. Not me.
I love both BVB and FIR. I’m excited to see both . However I will say this BVB fans (not all of them but most of them ) have been some of the rudest people I’ve met. They love to talk about how bvb is supposed to be about “unity” but will quickly attack you if you don’t agree with their opinion. Regardless I’m happy Andy spoke up and I look forward to seeing them both ❤
Edit : I would also like to add that when the tour was announced fans on FIR were excited to see BVB on tour. However when BVB announced the tour their fans were full of hate towards FIR fans and Ronnie .
Love these guys. wish i could see them
I think I’ve heard maybe 1 BVB song in my life and it honestly wasn’t my thing. I actually hadn’t even listened to FIR since maybe 2014 ish again not really my thing. I checked out the Watch the World Burn video out of boredom about a month ago and it was NOT what I remember FIR being(emo really isn’t my thing). I went down a rabbit hole with them and I was surprised how much I enjoyed their more current stuff so much so I bought tickets for their upcoming Boston show. I can see how Ronnie can rub some people the wrong we he speaks his mind and sometimes says what people are thinking but are afraid to say. Do I agree with everything he says or dies? No of course not but I also don’t think he’s this super bad guy like some people portray(he’s definitely made his fair share of mistakes and fuck ups in life). After seeing Andy’s response and how he handled that situation I’m definitely going to give BVB a closer listen in Boston in September.
Love both bands can't wait to see them in LA with DGD and Tech 9
Watching them play was incredible🖤
i think that part of the love and acceptance from the fans is because the number of bands that stopped touring with FIR, its like we are happy somebody is touring with them and giving us a hell of a show worthy of the money spent. also my personal view of ronnie is, he absolutely right to take on the haters and call them out, if you hate him so much why comment on his videos, why cant you just leave him alone and do something else. love ronnie and FIR and i cant wait to see more of his cinematic universe play out.
BVB was great in idaho! I'm not too familiar with them, but they put on a great show! I'm definitely looking into their music now after seeing them open for FIR here in idaho. It was a fantastic show!
I feel a little bad hearing this because I absolutely was a bvb hater going into the trinity tour, but after seeing them live I'm absolutely a huuuge fan now
Black Veil Brides won me over at the concert at the Northern Quest Resort and Casino. Another new fan, thank you Andy, Thank you Ronnie!
it blows my mind that so many self-absorb fans feel like an artist or band 'belongs' to them because they've 'love their music'. Like, what??!! And to make demands of the bands, hold them hostage, blackmail them, threaten them... stinks to high heaven of a most toxic, abusive 'relationship' ever. These snowflakes do NOT live in real life. They have grown up in a virtual reality and just have no fuk'in clue. I recommend therapy.
I had that exact A7x shirt Andy was wearing in that old pic haha. Good 'ol days. It's always the bigoted people that call others bigots. Good on BVB for staying on tour.
I listen to both. Let them do there own thing!
Have a safe tour guys!🖤🔥🎵🖤🔥🎵
I actually think BVB has a few masterpieces for albums. The Wretched & Divine album is their Master of Puppets and there’s like 14 bangers on it. I haven’t really listened to them since that album though. Andy is a good dude too.
as long as you're making headlines you're doing something right. Two solid bands out there making a living feeding their families. Enjoy the shows or don't buy a ticket.... simple stuff here...
I think it would be awesome to see my 2 favorite artists and their bands play together. I do have other music interests. They are so awesome, and their messages are very clear.
Wtf? Ronnie and Andy have been friends forever.
Andy is in a FiR music video and did a track on Ronnie’s solo rap album. Hell BVB drummer toured with FiR as their drummer for like a year.
Exactly like if you don’t like them, don’t go to the shows, at least respect them as people if you don’t like there music
I was there at the Idaho show. The whole thing was insane. Eveyone went nuts for all the bands. 🤘🤘
People often forget that humans aren't direct copies of what we put out onto the internet.
These two being such close friends means that they know each other better than some random tiktok user who thinks bullying is justified if someone doesn't share the same moral or political views as them.
First off I was highly impressed with Andy’s comment! Very genuine, well spoken and don’t get me started on that vocabulary! Secondly, I feel this has all gotten so stupidly out of hand! Most if not all of the re/tarded accusations against Ronny are false and I came to that conclusion because I did my research rather than listening to misinformed people! It’s so simple, if you have nothing nice to say then don’t say anything at all! That can be easily achieved by STFU!
Can’t wait to see them live on the 29th! GO!
As someone who has been in the arts her entire life (my parents are actors, I'm an actress and stage manager) I can confirm what I am about to say: sometimes an artist HAS to take work that doesn't entirely (or at all) mesh with their own personal values or beliefs. Trying to survive in this capitalist system by only work on projects that absolutely follow your values is impossible, especially with the economy being the way that it is. No matter what, you need money to not starve or loose your house. Every artist has had to make a decision like this at some point in their career, especially if they want to grow their platform. it sucks, and we don't particularly like it either, but it's a decision we all have to make.
I trust Andy and if BVB fans choose not to go, it is their perogative.
I know it’s super cliche, the whole “BVB army” thing, but I have a tattoo of their logo on my chest and I’m proud of it because Andy and his band have truly grown up as adults and professionals and artists and that’s awesome
People just dont like Ronnie because he speaks truth about almost everything he says. And as we all know, the truth can be a scary thing. But this doesnt mean we should try to shut someone down for speaking their mind. We should actually encourage more people to speak their mind and live without a filter so theres less snowflakes in the world. At this day and age everyone is to sensitive. Its okay to be sensitive to some things, but if youre being to sensitive about everything then youre probably the problem not the other person
I've never seen BVB live and am willing to give just about any rock band a chance live. No desire whatsoever to give any kind of hate, especially to a band I don't really know. I'll happily give them a fair chance as I do with smaller artists like some of the guys touring with Limp Biscuit right now. Why not?
just went and seen them at Montage Mountain last night, BVB, Tech 9' Dance Gavin Dance, all put on an epic show, and FIR absolutely killed it. Ronnie Radke is a once in a generation talent, people are always gonna because they don't come close to the skills and in that industry they are capable of getting clos
Lol BVB and FIR have always gone hand in hand. BVB is how I learned of FIR. Any BVB fan that is "outraged" by this clearly hasn't been paying attention.
Wait 😂 I have lived for this day I’m going too their concert today and im ecstatic 🤩 having two amazing bands play at the same time I’m fricken 9 months pregnant and still made sure I could go people are nuts 😂 I freaked out when I found out they were touring together ❤
Tbh I'm a massive bvb fan, but not fir fan (music wise or Ronnie) and therefore will not be attending the tour. And frankly, I don't understand why ppl give Ronnie a pass? He seems like an alternative style elon. He gives very strong jerk who hides behind the "I'm just being real" line vibes. And I've known ppl like that irl and they're not pleasant to be around. Just my opinion tho.
I love BVB and Falling in Reverse ❤
I'll be in Phoenix in September! 🤘🤘
I don’t understand the “drama” with people getting triggered over Ronnie or Falling In Reverse?
I'm sure everyone has different reasons, but as a bvb fan, a lot of us don't appreciate Ronnie's transphobic comments or the fact that he doubled down when called out on it. Bvb and the bvb community is really supportive of our lgbtq+ members, so you can see why it leaves a bad taste.
@@brinaw8791 Meamwhile Ronnie is the 1st artist to have Blair White a LGBTQ+ Trans women in a music video
yo so many people are unhinged , any real BvB or Andy fan would know theyre friends and would want this tour, also tired of people saying ronnie is a bigot etc like what proof? dudes around all the types of people that people say he hates all the time. this is why i dont go on the internet anymore
How disheartening that they were hated on the legs of the Trinity tour. I thought they were fantastic! I saw the last leg and I had a blast. F the haters!!
Andy is a very talented and well spoken person, I love watching his interviews.
Love this 😊
