BLACK VEIL BRIDES frontman Andy "Six" Biersack is featured in a new interview with Brian Fischer-Giffin at Australia's Loud. An excerpt from the interview is available below:

Q: It's going to be a series of big days here in Australia while you're here, so what are you looking forward to the most?

Andy: "We're always excited about playing shows, but obviously we're big fans of ALICE COOPER and VAN HALEN and all those bands. So we're really excited about seeing them."

Q: I can sort of tell that you'd be a big Alice Cooper fan.

Andy: "Definitely. And what's really interesting and what's really cool is that Alice has been really complimentary of us, especially recently, in the press. He's been saying that we're the sort of band who's bringing back everything that he loves about rock n roll music. So it's really cool to hear that. And he was also quoted as saying that if we put out a really good record then the world is sort of ours to be the biggest band in the world. When you look at one of your heroes saying things like that about you, it's definitely a very cool experience."

Q: Interesting that you say that, because there was a whole period of time, the 90s and into the last decade, where the sort of thing that you do disappeared completely and wasn't seen to be very cool at all.

Andy: "And look at what those people did to rock n' roll music! They essentially ran it into the ground and made it invisible. You're basically in the situation where the current generation of music listeners don't know what it's like to have rock n' roll rule the world. It doesn't exist. You look at any major awards show or the pop charts or anything else, they just don't have rock n roll music represented there. It's because the post-ironic crowd took over and decided that rock n' roll shouldn't be fun anymore and we should just be depressed. That's not what it should be. It's about rebellion and having fun and being what you want to be in your life and not giving up and giving in to those things that are upsetting you in the world."

Q: Well you're certainly bringing that back. You're only two albums in and you're already very successful.

Andy: "I think audiences around the world are sort of excited to see that kind of thing come back. I know for us it's very cool to see that. We've made no sacrifices in terms of being who we want to be. This is the exact band that we wanted to be. So the fact that we've had success doing exactly what we want to do is definitely a great feeling."
