After a decade since touring together, I catch up with an old friend in Andy Black of Black Veil Brides. We get into the band’s latest studio release, The Phantom Tomorrow, and talk about the process of creating this album over the last year. Andy even shares some insight & spoilers into BVB’s followup to this record.

We take it back to our tour together in 2011, and catch up on how our lives have changed since then. Andy shares stories of being spit at on stage, and almost inciting a riot by inviting the crowd to throw things at the band (much to the dismay of Zakk Wylde & Black Label Society). Andy also gives some insight to his infamous Golden Gods speech in 2013.

Andy opens up about growing up as an outcast in Ohio, and the challenges of looking different from the other people in his school. We talk BVB’s current tour with In This Moment, and the possibility of hearing Meet Me in the Fire performed with Maria Brink. We get into how Andy and Lonny Eagleton met, Andy’s perspective of the potential BVB split, cancel culture, and much more on the latest serving of Drinks With Johnny!
