Reverse petting zoo. You pet the animals, and they pet you back.

Me personally, I side more with punk rock bands. I grew up with The Misfits, The Dead Boys, The Damned, Dropkick Murphys, and early AFI. That was the stuff that really got me into music. Song writing wise, bands like Alkaline Trio were very important to me for beginning to write songs.

Love is a power greater than death, just like the songs and stories told.

And death climbs up the steps one by one.

Believe none of what you hear...and even less of what you see...this is what we`ll be.

Without someone telling you what you are doing is wrong, you can't say what you are doing is right.

Finally, please remember this. If you EVER need something that you can stand behind, something to help you to take on and deflect all of the hatred of this often cruel world, you will ALWAYS have Black Veil Brides.
