Black Veil Brides!

It was amazing all that energy that the fans were giving. All the passion and supporting. I was so proud of making part not of just a fandom or a glorious Army, but also a family. These feeling overwhelmed me while I was sitting in the middle of the stage looking at the chanting crowd that begged for their idols.

As if on a cue, CC entered and the crowd went mad! They screamed even more as he took his place on drums too and Jake, Ash and Jinxx appeared just behind. Jinxx smiling happily made me happy too for being a useful fan.

CC hit his drumsticks and the guys started playing what I instantly recognized as the introduction of ‘I am Bulletproof’. The fans were wild and so were I, screaming, dancing and singing on the stage.

Here we go!

Andy showed up singing and the crowd screamed.

Holding onto lies, holding onto ties that vanished

Cut the rope!
And fall into the sky,
The devil filled our minds with sadness
The world's a gun and I've been aiming all my life

“I WANNA FUCKING HEAR YOU!!!” Andy screamed while jumping at the stage, helding us the mic and letting only the crowd sing.

Got something to live for,
I know that I won't surrender
A warrior of youth,

I was singing right in front of Andy, looking into his amazing eyes.

I'm taking over,
A shot to the new world order,
I am Bulletproof

“YAAAYYYYY” He screamed again and continued singing.

Here I go,
Another prison flight,
Another perfect sky I damaged,
Now I know,
Just who created life and why I set my sights to save it

The world's a gun and I've been aiming all my life

Got something to live for,
I know that I won't surrender
A warrior of youth,
I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order,
I am Bulletproof

And as they take their final breath, I've have built the truth
I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order,
I am Bulletproof!

The solo played and it was wonderful, as always.

“You again!” Andy demanded.

Bulletproof!

The fans sang back.

Bulletproof!

“I AM BULLETPROOF!” He screamed this demoniac scream

Got something to live for,
I know that I won't surrender
A warrior of youth,
I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order,
I am Bulletproof

I am Bulletproof!

“HOW YOU MOTHERFUCKERS ARE DOING THIS MORNING?” Andy asked/growled at the mic and we roared in glee.

“Good.” He continued. “Today we have a little surprise for you. Jinxx explain this better” Andy handed the mic to Jinxx and moved backstage.

The crowed silenced a bit, paying attention on Jinxx’s words.

“Well…” Jinxx started shyly. “Most of you know I’ve been married and recently my wife, well, ex-wife, cheated on me and we got divorced. I’ve been down. Really down and depressed. Today, however, while I was crying I song started playing in my mind…”

My heart nearly stopped. Had he heard me? Was that possible?

“I remembered a song called ‘Jar of Hearts’ by Christina Perri that says”:

And who do you think you are?
Running around leaving scars
Collecting a jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

“In the end I realized I don’t need this. I am strong. I’ll get over this and I will find someone else that will love me fully. The way I deserve to be loved! Don’t you think so Army?” Jinxx asked and the crowd shouted “yes”.

My eyes were wet and tears were rolling down my cheeks. I was moved and happy.

“So…” He continued. “This is my tribute! This goes for you Sammi!!!” He shouted.

Just then I realized that Andy had brought a keyboard and was warming up on it. He started playing a few notes that made a sad, but beautiful tune that I couldn’t realize at first.

We're all told that when we die
We leave to a better place

OMG! Jinxx was singing!!! He had a clear and slightly high smooth voice and was singing softly. The crowd was silent in awe.

And all I know is what you left
A love I can't erase

All the same in love and war
Burn my name and ashes scorn

You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So god bless you
God bless you

God bless you…

Jake started playing the real metal intro and Jinxx, CC and Ashley went along with him. Meanwhile, Andy got the mic back and continued on his deep tone.

Shed those faded memories
This is your curtain call
I've had enough of sympathy
It's time to watch you fall
All the same in love and war...

You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So god bless you
So god bless you
God bless you
God bless you
God bless you

You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So god bless you
You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So god bless you
So god bless you
God bless you
God bless you
God bless you

The fans were on ecstasy!!! That was amazing. They continued the songs during the show:

The Legacy
Wretched & Divine
Never Give In
Rebel Love Song
In The End
Sweet Blasphemy
Unbroken
Now they were now playing ‘Knives and Pens’.

Since 8th song there was a jerk that was throwing hate at the guys and the fans but Andy was ignoring him, hopping he’d just go away. Now his provocations were even heavier and Andy’s control was slipping away. When he threw a tomato at the stage, trying pathetically to hit them, Andy lost it.

WE TRIED OUR BEST! TURN OUT THE LIGHT!
TURN OUT THE LIGHT!

“Guys, guys, could you do me a favor?” As soon as the song finished, Andy asked breathless. “Tell me how much you love BVB!”

The crowd roared in response.

“It’s awesome to hear that, you know why? ‘Cause this motherfucker” Andy pointed the guy “has been throwing his fucking hate at us and he should realize that here we are between a family! There’s no room for stupid ignorant like him!”

“Maybe If you weren’t such a fag and showed us real metal and not this emo shit, this wouldn’t happen!” The jerk replied. “All the assholes here don’t know real music!”

“WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAID YOU CUNT?!”

Oh-Oh

“NO. ONE. TALK. SHIT. ABOUT. MY. FANS.” The crowed screamed back in joy

“YOU MAY NOT LIKE OUR MUSIC, BUT IT DOESN’T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO TALK SHIT ABOUT US AND WE ACCEPT IT! THE KIDS HERE HAVE THEIR DREAMS! THEIR STRENGHT TO FIGHT FOR WHAT THEY BELIVE AND I FEEL HONORED WHEN THEY TELL US THAT OUR MUSIC GIVES THEM THAT STRENGHT!”

“Strength to what?! To slit their wrists?!” I noticed some people flinch when he said what. Now Andy was furious.

“NO! STRENGHT TO BELIVE THAT TOMORROW MAY BE BETTER! STRENGH TO NEVER GIVE IN, NEVER BACK DOWN! THAT THEY ARE YOUNG AND THEY ARE STRONG!” Andy answered.

The hater seemed that was going to say something but Andy cut him “ YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU ASSHOLE?! I COULD WASTE ALL THIS DAY TRYING TO EXPLAIN WHAT HOPE, DEPRESSION, FEAR AND EXCLUSION IS, BUT YOU NOW WHAT? YOU WOULDN’T UNDERSTAND!

““EMO” IS JUST SHORT FOR “EMOTIONAL”” He continued. “AND WE ALL HAVE EMOTIONS! IS WHAT MAKE US HUMANS! YOU HAVE TO LIVE TO FEEL THE OTHER’S PAIN AND AN IGNORANT LIKE YOU COULD NEVER DO THAT!”

Andy was panting hard. His face was softly red and his eyes has shining a deep shade of blue because of the anger. “YOU KNOW WHAT, MOTHERFUCKER?! GO FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO BOTHER, CAUSE I’M NOT GOING TO INTERRUPT MY SHOW TO YOU YOUR ASS A PIECE OF ATTENTION! I’M DONE WITH YOU!!” The fans were screaming going crazy as Andy flipped the hater off. “I’m sorry guys!” He turned to the crowd. “Now, this is for you!!!”

Then Andy screamed. A grutal scream that lasted 10 seconds as the drums started slowly, shortly followed by the guitars.

Awake at night you focus
On everyone whose hurt you
Then write a list of targets
Your violent lack of virtue

LEAVE US ALONE!
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!
GO!

We are breathing
While your sleeping
Go!
And leave us alone
The liars cheating
Our hearts beating
Go, and now you're on your own

Here's to your perfect weapon
Crack bones with blind aggression
Like birds whose wings are broken
You live without direction!

While Andy was singing the hater dude said “I’m not done with you yet.” and walked away. I got a weird felling on my gut that this wasn’t going to end well. I really bad feeling.

Notes

Oh, Oh
What's going to happen now? What do you guys think?
