The Kindergoth Escapades

THE SET-UP Marathon Music Works is a pretty big place.  I guess the entirety of the old Marathon Motor Works car factory actually spans about 3 blocks.  We got there at 5:30 and got a nice spot in line on the 1st block (1402 Clinton St.) Got into the building in about 15 minutes and then doors opened at 6.  Everyone obviously rushed to the front of the stage.  My crew had VIP “Tito’s Lounge Experience”  wristbands so we were seated in an area to the left above the stage.  There were about 10 bar tables, a Tito’s bar, private bathroom and A/C.  I know we’d probably get shit from “True fans” for not being down in the pit but, fuck it, it was awesome. The radio was playing some Motionless in White, so I was in my little happy place. Looking around there were two additional bars on either side of the stage, as well as a smoking porch exit and a Tacos & Beer stand in the back.  So yeah, you could definitely get hammered if you...

Set the World on Fire is the 2nd studio album from Black Veil Brides, and the first album with “CC” (Christian Coma) on Drums.  The album was released on June 14, 2011.  The first single released off the album was “Fallen Angels,”  very much an ode to the classic glam rock of KISS and Motley Crue. A few of my other favorites include “God Bless You” and “Rebel Love Song,” Which one AP’s music video of the year in 2011! Rebel Love Song, the anthem of a small town kid, dreaming of getting out.  Hitting home with me right now as I set my sights on Las Vegas. Another unexpected favorite for me is “Savior” I originally skipped over the song because it is a slower one. There are few words that I can muster to describe this song, except “everything I wish someone had told me at 14.” Jinxx has a violin solo near the end of the song, which is a beautiful addition. Honestly, so without too much commentary, I’m going to share the lyrics for you guys, as well as ...

Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones Get your copy of the Ultimate Edition here ! Say what you want about this album, but as far as Black Veil Brides goes, it is one of my favorites.  This is their third studio album, which was released on January 8th, 2013.  Now, many of you may not know this, but the 19 track album is but a third of the “Wretched and Divine” experience.   On December 21, 2012 “Legion of the Black” was released, which is the album's theatrical accompaniment.  The 45 minute film combines the album’s tracks with “The Story of the Wild Ones.” The “Ultimate Edition” of the album also includes 3 unreleased titles, and a second disc of bonus content.    Now, back to the album itself.  The composition is so fantastic that, even without seeing the film, you visualize the story.  Which is a high honor, I’ve only bestowed to one other album: (and don’t judge me for this) Green Day’s American Idiot.
