* BadassBaritone: His voice is ''low'' and borders on GutturalGrowler.

* CulturallyReligious: Attended a Catholic private school as a child, though he identified as atheist in the early stages of Black Veil Brides. The band's name is actually derived from the teachings he learned from his Catholic upbringing, and he has stated this in various interviews. [[note]](According to Wiki/{{Wikipedia}}, "a black veil is a symbol of the most complete renunciation of the world and adoption of a nun's life. On the appointed day the nun goes through all the ritual of the marriage ceremony, after a solemn mass at which all the inmates of the convent assist. She is dressed in bridal white with wreath and veil, and receives a wedding ring, as a "Bride of Christ". Afterwards she presides at a wedding breakfast, at which a bride-cake is cut. She thus bids adieu to all her friends, and having previously taken the white veil, the betrothal, she now assumes the black, and forever forswears the world and its pleasures.")[[/note]]

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: The infamous flight incident. He was allegedly assaulted by his wife, Music/JulietSimms, during a flight in October 2016 which was widely reported by the media (including TMZ). Adult film actress Mary Carey was a witness to the incident and filmed a non-sponsored recollection of the account that was uploaded to her Website/YouTube channel. Both Juliet and Andy addressed the incident as her "drinking too much", and the couple as well as her PR team has worked hard ever since to hide the incident, including playing it off as a shouting match and saying she'd never hit him (she admitted she had previously during the in-flight video), blaming the incident on a miscarriage, and saying it was not serious and the media had lied. Since then, the incident is treated lightly, if not entirely forgotten.

* AudienceShift: After it became all-too apparent that the EstrogenBrigade demographic of Black Veil Brides was what the band, and by extension he, was known for, he began catering to them specifically to bolster sales and his own fame.

* BerserkButton: If you flip him off onstage, or if you generally act unpleasant, he will ''leap into the crowd and fuck you up.''

* CantTakeCriticism: He has a really bad habit of attacking people that don't agree with him. This can be through a swift on-stage verbal beatdown, or a literal off-stage beatdown, depending on the severity of the situation and whether or not he is inebriated. In more recent years, he's calmed down, but he tends to lampoon those who aren't too fond of him (and Juliet) on his Patreon web show or his Twitter.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Comes off as this at times, especially in Bryan Starz interviews and his vlogs on Website/YouTube.

* {{Expy}}: The Andy Black persona to Creator/{{Morrissey}} or William Control.

* FormerChildStar: A rather dubious aversion. Arguably, he reached the apex of his fame with Black Veil Brides in his late teens, early twenties, with "''Knives and Pens''" reaching positive critical reception when he was sixteen. While a successful musician in his own right, his more recent work has yet to achieve the same success, and he has admitted to falling to the vices of substance abuse due to his fame in his youth.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Matt Good of D.R.U.G.S/From First To Last. [[HoYay So, so, so much]].

* SmallNameBigEgo: Achieved ''brief'' mainstream success between 2011-2013 through Black Veil Brides, but after the lukewarm reception of BVB IV and ''"The Shadow Side"'' not even breaking into US Charts, not many people aside from Black Veil Brides fans actually know who he is. He does not fully seem to grasp that.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivered a rather cringe-worthy one during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-38Z2I4C8U an acceptance speech]] to the detractors of Black Veil Brides at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards in 2013. He has since admitted he was extremely drunk and angry that the band was being booed the entire time.

* ''Film/American Satan'' (2017)

* ''ComicBook/DarkNightsDeathMetal'' official MotionComic as noneless than Franchise/{{Batman}} (2020-2021)

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Found one in Onision, who wavers between this and StalkerWithACrush. Just how much of this is PlayedForLaughs is debatable.
* AdamWesting: He plays a highly over-exaggerated, cynical, hardened criminal cum Lothario version of himself in ''Average Joe.'' Also tends to slip into this when he makes appearances on Creator/{{Onision}}'s Website/YouTube channel.
* TheAlcoholic: Struggled with alcoholism throughout most of his career in Black Veil Brides, only becoming sober quite recently. Even more depressing when you realize he's only twenty-seven and developed a full blown alcohol addiction by the time he was in his late teens.

* ''American Satan'' (2017)
