During a recent appearance on The Andy Show Podcast, Andy Biersack responded to claims that no one listens to Black Veil Brides.
“This person says, ‘No way real people listen to Black Veil Brides like I’m 90 % sure that I’m being gaslighted into thinking people are fans of them,'” the frontman shared a comment from a user on social media.
Then, he revealed his reply, saying, “And I wrote back, ‘Gaslit.’ There are things that one person might enjoy that others don’t. For instance, I don’t like you, but I assume that you have friends or family that do. It doesn’t mean you don’t exist.”
The host stepped in and added, “I hope your one-word response elicits a days-long argument and debate.” Biersack responded, “It does seem unfair. Like, imagine the scenario wherein I find this person’s name and whatever it is that they’ve worked the hardest on in their life. I say, ‘It’s not even possible that someone could enjoy this.'”
“I feel like perhaps the public reaction would be poor to that. It does seem often and follow me on this Joe that the internet is a confusing minefield when it comes to selectively choosing what is worth standing on at ceremony for and what is not,” the singer also noted.
Biersack posted this brief part from the podcast on his official X account and one commenter said, “It’s weird to me after all these years people still haven’t learned BVB isn’t going anywhere. The more haters run their mouth the strong it makes the fan base.” Andy replied by writing, “That’s very kind thank you. Unfortunately, we don’t exist.”
Another fan said, “Honestly must be kinda fun to respond to hate from someone with a single word and then watch them lose their minds over it despite claiming to not care.”
Biersack shared in his response, “No Hannah, it’s their ‘opinion’ and anyone can say any ‘opinion’ that they want and if you make a single word joke about it you are a horrible embarrassing cringey monster bully person. You should know that these are the rules and accept them.”
Andy also previously talked about how the UK embraced Black Veil Brides when the US didn’t pay attention to them. The UK was the first place to take them seriously and give them a chance.
