Black Veil Brides turned war paint, studs and anthems for outcasts into one of the most devoted followings in modern rock. Started by a teenage Andy Biersack in Ohio and rebuilt in Los Angeles, the band went from self-funded videos to top-ten albums, film soundtracks and concept records with a mythology of their own. This quiz covers the whole story: the singles and the meanings behind them, the albums and EPs, the people who have passed through the line-up, the producers and guest stars, the tours, and Biersack's solo and screen work. Songs are asked about through their stories, videos and history instead of quoted lines. It is pitched for fans at every level.
