Budgets just don’t allow for that anymore. Bob’s thing was, really, that he wasn’t looking to make a million dollars off of this.
Given the time frame that we’re in right now, it’s very hard for a rock band to have, A, the budget or, B, the time to make a record, in the context that they used to make albums, which is, a bunch of lead time, in terms of preproduction, and a great deal of writing time.
Being people that… Obviously, we’ve done a lot of records on the fly. Just within the context of him wanting to really develop the band as a group of music writers. What kind of mindset did you guys go into with this album that was different than anything else, to produce the sound and growth that you had?Īndy: I think, first and foremost, Bob Rock being involved in the process, really changed quite a bit for us. You just get better and better, as a group, as a writer, as a performer, as a vocalist. Every time you put out a new album, I want to crank a rating up to something above 10. The self-titled album dropped last month, and this thing’s just a monster. Toddstar: Let’s talk about the new album. Thank you so much Andy for taking time out for us. We love talking to you every time we get a chance. We have Andy Biersack from Black Veil Brides here. If you see me wincing during the show, it’s because I forgot how god damned heavy these mic stands are. They weigh about 45-50 pounds each, so I’m constantly injuring my feet and my hands, trying to life these things up and I keep forgetting that it’s going to drop on my foot. The problem is, I still want to carry them around and throw them, and do all that kind of stuff. It’s just a big pipe with a base, that we had several of, that are impossible for me to break. The only thing I’ve done so far, in terms of injury, when we were in the UK, I was blowing through mic stands, like, every single show, because they’re so poorly made, so weak, that I would break them every show, so we had a steel worker build, essentially, what is, a giant steel pipe that’s to my exact dimensions. I’m just glad you’re not breaking ribs or anything this time out, so far.Īndy: No. It happens every tour, especially winter tours. I think this is the first wave of what I believe to be a couple days of pretty painful flu like symptoms. I’ve been pretty lucky on this tour that I haven’t really gotten sick just yet. We’ve been on tour for a while now, and it’s just starting to really hit me. You know, I’m a little under the weather, but got to my hotel room and planning on just relaxing today, and hopefully getting back on track.
