Robert: The three songs, “Victory Call,” “Let You Down,” and “Revelation” sound like songs you would hear off Set the World on Fire rather than Wretched and Divine. So we thought it best to wait for this Ultimate Edition. Also, they weren’t mixed and the production wasn’t completed yet. These extra songs weren’t tied to the concept and didn’t fit with the other songs. Jake Pitts: We had even more songs that didn’t make it onto Wretched and Divine. Tell us about the three new songs that appear on the album, and why they didn’t make it onto the initial release in January ? Robert Cavuoto: You recently released Wretched and Divine: Ultimate Black Box Edition.

Prior to the hitting the stage, I had the chance to talk to with the dynamic guitar duo of Jake Pitts and Jinxx at their tour bus and asked them to give us an update on the tour, their latest release, and well….about living the dream! The band played a combination of songs from their three CDs including a few from their newest one, Wretch and Divine, like the title track and “In the End.” They even pulled out Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell” and fan favorite, “Fallen Angels” from their second CD, Set the World on Fire.Īs Jake Pitts told me earlier in the day, the goal was to impress their diehard fans as well as make some new ones. The guitar shredding team of Jake Pitts and Jinxx heated up the night showcasing their shredding skills particularly on the dual leads for “I am Bullet Proof.” When you didn’t think it could get any wilder, Jinxx pulled out his electric violin during “Shadows Die,” the crowd went crazy. Bassist Ashley Purdy held the back end down with drummer, CC Coma, while flirting with girls in the front row and tossing out picks. Every inch of the stage was worked by the members to taunt their audience into a feverous pitch. The band leaped into its vibrant seven song set appearing without their trademark make-up. Despite temperatures reaching upwards of 100 degrees, the band played with all the energy that you would expect and made it look easy.ĭonning a cropped hair cut and slashed-up BVB T-shirt, gripping his red, white, & blue scarf-embellished microphone stand, lead singer, Andy Biersack whipped the crowd back from the jaws of exhaustion this evening. This was an abridged set as compared to their headlining tour this past winter. Today Black Veil Brides won the lottery and will close out the show at 8:20pm. A morning lottery system determines when and where each band will play their 35 minute set.

Where merchandise and sponsor tents scatter the hot parking lot among the seven stages selling shirts, bumper stickers, and food. Where hungry bands give their all to perform for their fans. If you’ve never been to a Warped Tour think sweaty sticky ass kicking music. On one of the hottest summer days in NJ, the Vans Warped Tour rolled into PNC Arena on July 7th.
