screamo isnt a correct genre for this band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.160.47.58 (talk) 23:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why Progressive rock is in the genre? is that appropriate!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.54.29.86 (talk) 04:55, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, it isn't. And someone keeps re-adding progressive rock. They are not progressive rock, people. Informing people otherwise is just plain misleading. 66.229.216.37 (talk) 07:10, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

could somebody maybe make this page better?? like create pages for their albums and have track listings and stuff? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.156.178.22 (talk) 20:29, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know that Pierce the Veil has a song called "Kissing in Cars", but I have both of their albums and it's not on either one. :( Is it on a compilation c.d. or is it strictly on the internet or what? I can't find out where to get it. :( 198.200.158.137 (talk) 14:17, 1 July 2010 (UTC)Robyn[reply]

I've wondered the exact same thing. It just makes no sense. • GunMetal Angel 07:30, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kissing in Cars was written/sung by Vic for one of Jaime's friends. Jaime's friend wanted Jaime to write a song for his fiancee, so Jaime asked Vic to sing the song. I'm not sure if it was Jaime or Vic who wrote the song. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.182.241.2 (talk) 02:46, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 The song, 'Kissing in Cars' is on their very first and not popular album,'A Flair for the Dramatic.'  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luce156 (talk • contribs) 18:09, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply] 

Nope. I have A Flair for the Dramatic and Kissing in Cars is not on the tracklist. It is a bonus track for Selfish Machines which was available only for download first, but is on the re-recorded version of the album. --Goroth (talk) 20:28, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have noticed that a large number of recent edits are either destructive or just plain silly. I attribute this to the ease of editing with simply a click, and as such I propose that this page be semi-protected. If the general public isn't able to be trusted with the management of this content, let's do the right thing and close it off to unautoconfirmed users and anons. This way, if people get the urge to edit the page, they can't. Most people won't wait the four days of autoconfirming just to spam, and those who do will do it regardless.

Can someone please remove the prog rock label? They aren't prog. They are post hardcore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.168.183.96 (talk) 00:24, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I've removed the progressive rock label. I've given a listen to a couple of their albums, and while they have a unique approach to post-hardcore, there are minimal to no prog influences. Kevinjaems (talk) 05:59, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and good evening,

I need help for working on the German-languaged article about the band. Therefore I need articles from magazines like Big Cheese, Kerrang!, Revolver, Rock Sound, Alternative Press and Blunt Magazine for example.

Exactly I need interviews, album recording announcements or tour documentaries (tour reviews). Does anyone has an account on some websites of the named magazines above? Can you please make an document for Word or Open Office with the article, magazine title, page, the writer and issue where the article is in? Or can someone make scans in JPG and send it to me?

I would really appreciate it! Thanks for reading and for helping me with the article. --Goroth (talk) 21:30, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's now a proper page for the guitarist (Tony Perry), so his name should now be linked to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Perry_(guitarist) rather than get redirected back to the band page. In addition, the Awards and Nominations need to be updated with the latest APMAs (2015 : Tony Perry for Best Guitarist (won)) and the Kerrang! awards (Best Fanbase (won))

Hi there,

I heard (or likely more read) that Vic Fuentes struggled with depression while working on the new record. And that may be the reason why the release is still unknown. There was a post made by Mike Fuentes about it but it seems to be fake. So anyone said he told in an interview with Alternative Press about writing the album got him depressed but I can't find anything regarding to this in the www. Maybe it is in a printed version of the magazine. Does anyone know anything about it? --Goroth (talk) 12:10, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was planning a timeline for the page. As it shows Mike and Vic doing all instruments for formation until the first album was released then put in the Jaime and Tony. Is that a good idea so people know that all four members aren't the forming members? 321rematch (talk) 04:14, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's necessary – the article says "The brothers released the album A Flair for the Dramatic" then "Soon after, Pierce the Veil acquired new members Tony Perry (guitar) and Jaime Preciado (bass)." So it's already clarified that Perry and Preciado weren't in the band until after the release of Flair. Yeepsi (talk) 13:34, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Fuentes is still a current member of Pierce The Veil. The band is currently on hiatus until he is ready to tour with the band. https://www.altpress.com/news/entry/mike_fuentes_pierce_the_veil_underage_sexual_misconduct_allegations Fearlessedits (talk) 02:28, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware that you are the official Fearless Records account, but nowhere in that source does it say that the band are on hiatus along with it not saying Mike Fuentes is still a member. In fact, the source says the complete opposite, saying that the band is not on hiatus and that Fuentes has stepped down. Also, just so you know, accounts with a person or profession affiliation with the topic are supposed to get blocked from editting the page due to conflict of interest.

Change Mike Fuentes from past member to current member in Background information section.

Mike is taking a break from the band. Although he is on a break, he is still a current and core member of Pierce The Veil.

Mike's statement: "So, I have decided to take a break and step away from my position in the band in hopes that this will allow my band mates and fans to continue focusing on the music and message that Pierce The Veil stands for."

Band's statement: “As a band, we are respecting Mike’s decision to take break and step away. Unfortunately, without a core member of the band, we will be respectfully withdrawing from the upcoming U.K. tour with All Time Low. We promise our fans that we will be back again very soon.”

In 2019, Vic Fuentes (lead singer) posted an Instagram story with Mike Fuentes playing drums in the background. This might signifies that he's still in the band and contributing for new music.

Using two sources, one from a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gizmodo_Media_Group website, a series of websites well known for shoddy journalism, and a local newspaper (the parent company in this instance is irrelevant) that doesn't really know musical genres. On the other hand, multiple editors agree that this band is not metalcore. The fact that this even needs to be brought up on the talk page is laughable, as the band is clearly not metalcore despite what ONE wikipedia editor thinks. Cblake92 (talk) 22:48, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The A.V. Club (which you simply mentioned as being Gizmodo) has been discussed at Discussion:The A.V. Club and it was decided to be reliable. And, if a source's parent company is irrelevant then why did you just judge the A.V. Club's reliability on its parent company, when it's actually considered reliable. Additionally, there's more sources to back this up, NBC described them as "SD's metalcore sons" and Rolling Stone described the song Circles as fusing "chugging metalcore riffs, sweeping arena-rock melodies and sugary pop-punk vocals". Also, Fuse describes them as "metalcore favorites Pierce the Veil". This doesn't seem at all like a stretch to me as it's mentioned on the post-hardcore page that many bands begun taking a lot of influence from metalcore, and most of the bands that do that, have metalcore mentioned on their pages, see: Ice Nine Kills, Blessthefall and Escape the Fate. Here's the cite from the post-hardcore page, in which Pierce the Veil is cited as one of the notable bands taking significant influence from metalcore www.bandwagon.asia/articles/rising-above-the-noise-the-history-and-evolution-of-post-hardcore Issan Sumisu (talk) 05:20, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You act as though big news websites know anything about this umbrella of music, and you grasp desperately at straws with your halfbaked sources. But whatever. YOU want to call them metalcore, you can. I give up, this band really isn't worth arguing about with some kid on the internet any longer. I'm not the one who doesn't understand the difference between post-hardcore and metalcore. Cblake92 (talk) 23:24, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Hey, I'm not trying to cause any confrontation, I'm sorry if I caused some kind of distress to you, it's just redundant at the end of the day, genres don't matter in actual life. However, I would prefer you didn't resort to name calling. Issan Sumisu (talk) 07:39, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
