this was an all right video but i personally think more time should have been spent getting into how cool, smart, funny, handsome, well-endowed, and talented the drummer is. maybe next time.
As a long time Vinesauce and Red Vox fan, have some fun facts: -Mike had a heavy hand in writing lyrics on Another Light, specifically on In The Garden and Settle For Less. -Vinny has admitted he can't listen to Kerosene anymore because he wrote it while he was in a bad place (so the comment about him being alone in the studio might be correct, but afaik he never got into that detail) -Memories Lie does have a vocoder! Vinny said he was inspired by Pond, but also he was struggling to sing what he had written for the ending -Joe did some of the background vocals on Roid Rage, and he should be coming in to do more for future songs!
Vin said on some stream I'm not sure which that a lot of Kerosene was just him by himself. I remember him saying it was kina like him just messing around and he ended up writing multiple songs at home by himself then it kinda snowballed and became an album with all the guys involved.
The fact that this shitpost Joel made out of pure insanity after losing internet access for a week completely eclipses his entire career as the member of a legitimate death metal band is very funny in a bittersweet way
Dude it is so nice to see someone talking legitimately about Red Vox, like fully analysing it. I adore this band and seeing someone so passionatley enjoy it in the same way I do makes me so happy. Would recommend checking out Davy's Grey, which is basically the proto red vox, moreso than Vine, which is moreso a Vinny solo thing. That's where most of the Red Vox members come from. There's also some more solo albums by Vinny, Odds & Ends featuring my favourite niche song, Ocean to the Sea. Side note, but you mentioned Come As You Are. Vinny mentioned this song in the video "The curse of Red Vox Realign" and noticed the similarity too.
I spent a whole 10 minutes trying to remember who the heck you were and why your channel looked familiar, and then I realized your stuff was the sole reason I went on a day-long binge of reddit videos back in 2016 So it was a very delightful surprise to see that not only you didn't give up after the TTS channels nuked that style of video out of orbit, but you also "evolved" your content into talking about stuff you like All that just to say: glad you're still around, dude
Specifically the 77 to remain in light era of albums minus more songs about food and buildings. Actually probably a 77 outtake tbh. Has that choas and anxiety
Man Another Light is such a special album. I was in a real bad place then and I really don't think I would have made it without that album dropping when it did. It really helped me see things differently and make moves to go get the help I needed.
I love that Blood Bagel was literally just them goofing off in the studio to relax after the release of the first album, and kind of before they knew it, they had an EP. Also, you forgot the actual bonus song for "What Could go Wrong..." the song "Trolls and Goblins." As for Reno, if I remember correctly, he just kinda wants to visit Reno one day, and then he wrote a song about Reno. Kerosene, Vinny said, was a very personal, "working through issues" kind of album. For Visions and Afterthoughts, if I remember correctly, they just kind of... kept writing and recording songs for their "next Album," and eventually, they realized they had too much for 1 Album, but not quite enough for a double, so they decided "Well, we've come this far, lets keep going," and it became a double album, but spaced apart (so they could actually write/record a few more songs for part 2).
Probably wrong about this, but I think I remember Vinny confirming Reno was actually about alcoholism, or at least had alcoholism as a major theme. Makes sense when you think about the lyrics. EDIT (two months later): I think I was wrong. I don’t know if I was just misremembering or what, but I think I specifically remember Vinny mentioning it was about gambling addiction, which makes way more sense. Alcoholism might be a lesser theme, but it’s focused on gambling more.
The cool thing about T&G is that he reached out to the Vinesauce community and had a bunch of us collaborate on the music video. My little segment of that video is the beginning with the troll stirring the pot. It was a really fun project!
shoutouts to Chuck Salamone and Jerrold who helped on Afterthoughts, Chuck doing the guitar tracks for Eminence and The Sound You Make and Jerrold doing the bongos on The Sound You Make too. both these guys also have amazing projects too with Chuck doing Hylics' music and Jerrold's video game music covers on Inner Motion Music
Great video. The compression on the Almost A Stranger clip made me laugh. RUclips's encoder hates it so much that i had to test like 4 or 5 different versions of the video until it looked decent.
i'm not the first to say this, but a whole video on red vox's music is something i've always been hoping would exist. i've been a huge fan of red vox for a couple of years; i know there's a whole thing with "tuber"/streamer music being bad, but vinny has done music far before streaming and the band was what got me into vinesauce rather than vise versa :') i think a good band can be defined from their diversity, for me it's almost funny to think stranded and then everything on blood bagel were made by the same group of jabronis; another light my #1 album ever
Another Light was the album that opened the door for me to explore my own musical tastes. It's my absolute favorite LP from them. So much so that my first tattoo was inspired by its cover art!
Red Vox is one of my favorite bands ever. During my first year of college I always listened to their albums during the long trip on the morning bus, so I associate them with that period of my life. Cool video and thanks for making it so more people could know them.

man, I kinda wish you got to talk about ghost page and memento mori a bit. those two are my favorites for two completely different reasons, but memento mori's instrumentation conveys a lot to me. the guitar is very light and there's even use of harp in there that makes the song sound more angelic, fitting with the general theme.
I can legit see vinny eventually making a stable living off of red vox in the future, they're extremely great, not something youd expect from funny corruption man. Red Vox is deeply connected to the early covid times and my final school exams, it really helped me not lose sanity during those trying times
Another Light will always be my most favorite of their albums, just the instrumentals and Vinny's vocals are the pinnicale of what I love about Red Vox. Also I think Kerosene is a very underrated album and from what I remember, Vinny said he made this during a point in his life when he was really depressed and it shows through the genius of the lyrics and that when Vinny is feeling artisticly creative he can pump out something nice. Also I feel like they should do at least one more album like Blood Bagel. I know Vinny and the other members said its likely not possible because they want to stay serious, but they know how to have fun when it comes down to it
WOAH, I WAS TAKEN ABACK WHEN I SAW MY INTERVIEW IN THERE! It's always nice to see people shine a light on Red Vox and to see it more than just a streamer's project. Great video!
First time I ever heard In The Garden I was in my room with my cat, utterly gobsmacked that THIS is what came from the band I had only ever known for singing about ballpit vomit. People are such unique packages of different talents, man. Now we're in an era with the new Hylics album and Vinny's the canon singing voice for Wayne. Good time for trippy rock :)
I've actually been following Red Vox since it's inception, I believe I first heard about it while Vinny was playing through Wolfenstein The New Order back in 2016 when he first mentioned it on Stream. Now I *believe* I recall hearing that the song that Vin drank for was Reno, not Job in the City, but that may have just been a game of telephone throughout the community. I'll also say, I'm a little surprised you didn't mention Ghost Page and only briefly touched on Hazy for the What Could Go Wrong section, but I recognize that if you were to go through every single non-filler song on the entire discography, we'd be here all day, so fair enough. I get hearing you say you think Another Light might be your favorite. My cousin, who's been a fan as long as myself, shared this opinion up until Afterthoughts blew our minds, and I used to listen to nearly the entire album every single night in the shower. I know you said explicitly that you do not count Room to Breathe, which is fair, but given Mike and Joe's assistance on it, I tend to consider it a psuedo part of the discography. I bring it up because I feel like the level of heaviness in Kerosene is most closely seen in Room to Breathe as well. Personally, I'm partial to Hungry Ghost. The emotion I've gotten from most of this album is this sort of feeling of "Both Vinny AND the listener are at their lowest together, and he's speaking directly to them." Realign really feels like a triumphant response to Kerosene to me. If Kerosene is meant to make you feel at your lowest, Realign is meant to feel like you defeating your own demons and moving on in life. What you really *lose* by listening to the Lost for a While EP *after* it released was the impact that it had given the timeframe of its release. Lost for a While released in October of 2020. You may be able to tell that from hearing Stay in Bed, or possibly from the overarching feelings of self doubt, failure, and of time running out. Despite those heavy as hell themes, things really do still give the feeling of hopefulness more than Kerosene. Again, if Kerosene is supposed to bring out the emotions of being at one's lowest and of sorrow and hopelessness, Lost for a While gives the sense of "Yeah, I'm at the bottom, but the only way to go is up from here." At least, that's what I get from it. It feels a lot more like something to push through rather than something to be overencumbered by. Visions and Afterthoughts feel like a mirror in some ways. You can sense similarities between the opening and closing songs, for instance. Afterthoughts in its entirety really shows how far the band has come over the past 8 or so years. I think in general it's a collection of their strongest works, and in my personal opinion, even beats out Another Light. I seldom casually listen to entire albums, but Afterthoughts is an album that I genuinely consistently listen to start to finish because it's just so all-encompassing. It's like a full 3 course meal. The incredible start with Eminence, the playful mystique of playing by the rules, then the quadruple wammy going from Almost A Stranger's emotional low to Jumped the Gun's playful high to Traces absolutely destroying you, then evening things out with Saturnine, it's just so so good. I'm not goin anywhere with this essay of a comment, I just really love Red Vox.
I just want to say that I'm really glad to see Red Vox fans crawling out of the woodwork after all of this time. Vinny is literally the reason I started playing guitar. Vinny is the reason I got into music at all. Red Vox is hands down the best band around right now.
I think Room to Breath is sweet ngl Edit: During the interview Vinny mentioned that he plays the guitar while watching TV with the sound off to enter what he described as the unconsciousness. As a concept the unconsciousness is heavily talked about within Jungian psychology as the unconsciousness being a shared world among all living beings which is more specifically labeled as the “collective unconsciousness”. Tapping into this world as a way to pull ideas for his song writing which may help the songs he writes from this process resonate with more listeners as the lyrics and instrumentations were derived from their own unconsciousness as well. Which leads me to my last point of BINTY PLS PLAE BEARSONA 5 ONLY TWENTY MINOOT PLEASE
I do really love Blood Bagel! I think it is such a well-made Spinal-Tap-style joke album that has wayyy more musical/production values effort put into it than it probably needed, but it makes it also musically good and I think it pays off. And it's stupidly hilarious, like I can't listen through the album without really struggling to not bust out laughing haha (oh and I think Garbage Land is also a great joke-y song, when that came out I had it stuck in my head for like a week straight lol)
Seeing a big RUclipsr cover Red Vox gives me pure, unbridled joy. I've been a big fan of Red Vox for years, and I'm happy you love Vinny's music as much as I do.
I was at their show at TMG, and wow, the energy was UNREAL! I cannot wait for some of the new songs to come out as studio recordings. I remember listening to What Could Go Wrong when it just came out and expecting something not that good, but instead I was blown away and they became an instant favourite for me! Thank you for a great video :)
Pretty good overview. Miscellaneous thoughts below. 4:35 hey someone else who heard that! Studio percussion likely means that a lot of the drums on the album you hear is Joe. Looking at Davy’s Grey stuff probably would have cleared that up. Cuz I said Kerosene was my favorite album, the title track has become my favorite. I love that keening “Keeeeeroseeeeeene.”
I remember attending the recent Red Vox concert at Whipsering Oaks amusement park in Georgia. It was truly a life changing experience, the entire audience exploded into violencia the moment they started playing, and they had to fend the horde off with their instruments WHILE THEY WERE PERFORMING. 11/10 concertgoing experience the 5 dollars and pocket lint I scrounged for the past year.

RED VOX MENTIONED 🔥🔥WHAT THE HELL IS A NORMAL DREAM ⁉⁉‼‼💯
I'm kind of mad, Anthony Fantano hasn't reviewed any of these albums. Need more music reviewers' opinions on my goat Red Vox Also, someone please send this to binyot. I'd love to see his reaction and comments to this
I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but someone sent in a Red Vox song during a chill stream and he skipped it after 5 seconds calling it a shitty garage band.
Someone sent him Reeling From the Rafters and he was such a condescending smug prick barely listening to it and was like "don't send me your friends music"
Its crazy that you also got your start with fan-editing Vin's stuff. To think that I watched your reddit videos years ago and we were both on a similar path with where we ended up in our editing gigs. I oughta resume work on a main channel video for Vin sometime. Anyway, great video! Red Vox is my favorite band ever and its really cool to see someone break down everything I love about it. They dont miss!
19:47 If you want some good Ominous Guitar Music, I highly recommend checking out some of Aaron Turner's projects. he does a lot of Dark Noise stuff, but there's a few more melodic ones he's in like Sumac, Isis (I swear its not named after what you think it is lol), and Mamiffer. The Most accessible album if you want to get into his projects is either Oceanic or Panopticon. both are by Isis.
Love to see Red Vox getting some love! Also not that I'm any more of a reliable source, but the "half bottle of whiskey" comment was confirmed by Vinny on a stream, i think maybe the post-album release stream if i remember correctly. However I'm not sure if it was half a bottle, i think he just said he had a couple glasses of whiskey before recording the vocals to help him loosen up
I started listening to Red Vox when they released Another Light and it was by far my favorite album. I love all of their music, but there’s a vibe that just can’t be recreated anywhere else that’s very comforting and soothing.
I knew Vinny had some kind of musical gig going on, but never really paid attention to it until I heard Garbage Land. That song is an absolute banger that now lives in my head rent-free. And their other songs are no pushovers as well.
Its always been surreal how good of a singer he is while also being funny speen man, when people on the internet have projects aside from videos i always assume it won’t be as good but some of my favourite songs are from red vox
5:24 Probably not the source that person got it from, but Vinny brought it up in an AMA on Reddit 5 years ago in response to a question I asked. I tried to link to it, but no dice.
2:52 huh that is the least... most... uh, Mike. I think what I'm trying to say is I've never seen him not looking like a dipped italian beef left on a bench
Red Vox has unironically been one of my favorites since What Could Go Wrong dropped, and steadily rose to number one with every new release. Always happy to see them get some more recognition!
Ive been listening to red vox since the 'debut'and its never left my daily playlists ever since I know, i love their streams since like.. 2012? But yeah , i love all of them
Second comment just to add: I think Kerosene is stealthily the best album Red Vox has put out, at least from a lyrical perspective. It's just so rich and so dense, and i think the acoustic and folk sounds really help to let the lyrics stand out. I think my favorite album is Realign, but if I was to have a single Red Vox album preserved in like the Smithsonian i would point to Kerosene
Fun fact: Vinny has stated that if there's ever a sequel to Blood Bagel, it'll be titled Volcanal. (I do wonder if Kerosene had to do with some allegations, but not sure if the timeline fits on that)
@@Shark-Fist it could have been made when the situation was actually happening. GeePM had abandoned them and stolen donations to buy stuff, and it probably happened around 2018/2019
You said that Heavy Little Heart is a fun song. Well I wouldn’t call it fun (I do really like the song) it’s one of those songs I revisit when I need a good cry. Also well I did (like most) have In The Garden as my favorite for a good few years when the second half of the double album came out Playing by the Rules ended up as my favorite of their songs
Red Vox is what really got me to listen to non video game music starting early-2019 when I couldn't deal with the stress of school. I had like, "dropped out for the year" basically. Some. Fucking how. I still graduated early and didn't have to deal with last year of senior hs in 2020 covid. autobiography will continue. in the garden is fuckin amazing and stranded is like, my favorite fucking goddamn ever it's s o good. videotape pincentpastor is a funny duck dude I've literally been a fan of since I was 13 *ten goddamn years ago*. I will also forever brag about uploading my Scoot mii for shits and giggles and flipping my goddamn shit when Vinny found it (!) and. well he fucking asked chat to pick between me and the one he was already gonna use. I both felt bad that the person's mii didn't get chosen and also flipped my shit and broke my silence to comment all the way back on the fullsauce stream that I was stoked. Point is- Vinny means a hell of a lot to me personally. Another Light was genuinely *Another Light* at my lowest times, and that is genuinely the moment I point to mentally and think... "Yeah. It does get better :D" ( ˡᶦᵏᵉ ᶦᶠ ᴵ ᶜᵒᵘˡᵈ ᶜʰᵒᵒˢᵉ ᵐʸ ˢᵗᵃⁿᵈ ⁿᵃᵐᵉ ᶦᵗ'ˢ ᵃ ᵗᵒˢˢ⁻ᵘᵖ ᵇᵉᵗʷᵉᵉⁿ「ᴬᴺᴼᵀᴴᴱᴿ ᴸᴵᴳᴴᵀ」ᵃⁿᵈ「ᴵᴺ ᴿᴬᴵᴺᴮᴼᵂˢ」(ᴵ ᵃˡˢᵒ ᵃᵈᵒʳᵉ ᴿᵃᵈᶦᵒʰᵉᵃᵈ))
im a big Vinny watcher who has never touched his music (because of your point about the state of streamer music...) and learning that MIKE is involved actually made me spit out my milk
21:10 When I first heard the song I made that same connection between it and Come As You Are. I took me a bit to remember what it was reminding me of, but as soon as I put it together I've never been able to unhear it.
I have Red Vox to thank for a lot. When I was younger, I had a very shallow viewpoint on music and didn’t really get into much beyond the usual “junk food” music that just naturally appealed to my kiddy shrimp brain. At the same time, I was a fan of Vinny’s content and had started getting more into his streams and catching some live. He was premiering his song “In The Garden” live there and I thought it sounded really cool! (Again, shrimp brain went wee) So I checked out their other music and I…didn’t like it. I was not into the boring rock sound and wanted more ear pleasing stuff. Their other single From The Stars also didn’t do it for me. But I gave it another shot later on a bit before the new album was set to release and suddenly I was noticing how much actually went into the songs of What Could Go Wrong. It intrigued me and I kept listening more and more. I found myself actually liking a lot of these songs now and that lead the way to me becoming a fan of dozens of bands I otherwise would’ve just ignored. Another Light was a great album to listen to and just vibe with during my late elementary years, and Kerosene ended up being the most important album for me as it helped me through a really rough period in my life. It gave me an appreciation for it I never would’ve thought I’d have. And anything they’ve released after has always been enjoyable, with very few songs I don’t have some level of appreciation for. They are by far my favourite band a truly important one in my life and I hear that’s not exclusive to myself. If Vinny ever reads this, please know the music you and the band make means a lot to us and to always stay true to yourselves and your vision.
this ROCKS. so glad this video exists because i love red vox as well as vinny and mike's streams and i always am down to here people ramble and rave about whatever they do. :)
getting recommended an analysis of one of my favorite bands by a channel I used to watch way back for reddit videos was not on my bucket list but I'm here for it lol 30:45 interestingly enough the name of the band was something vinny saw in a dream, he gets asked about it on stream every now and then
this was an all right video but i personally think more time should have been spent getting into how cool, smart, funny, handsome, well-endowed, and talented the drummer is. maybe next time.
Dammit you're right I forgot that part

Now we're in an era with the new Hylics album and Vinny's the canon singing voice for Wayne. Good time for trippy rock :)
I've actually been following Red Vox since it's inception, I believe I first heard about it while Vinny was playing through Wolfenstein The New Order back in 2016 when he first mentioned it on Stream. Now I *believe* I recall hearing that the song that Vin drank for was Reno, not Job in the City, but that may have just been a game of telephone throughout the community. I'll also say, I'm a little surprised you didn't mention Ghost Page and only briefly touched on Hazy for the What Could Go Wrong section, but I recognize that if you were to go through every single non-filler song on the entire discography, we'd be here all day, so fair enough.
I get hearing you say you think Another Light might be your favorite. My cousin, who's been a fan as long as myself, shared this opinion up until Afterthoughts blew our minds, and I used to listen to nearly the entire album every single night in the shower.
I know you said explicitly that you do not count Room to Breathe, which is fair, but given Mike and Joe's assistance on it, I tend to consider it a psuedo part of the discography. I bring it up because I feel like the level of heaviness in Kerosene is most closely seen in Room to Breathe as well. Personally, I'm partial to Hungry Ghost. The emotion I've gotten from most of this album is this sort of feeling of "Both Vinny AND the listener are at their lowest together, and he's speaking directly to them."
Realign really feels like a triumphant response to Kerosene to me. If Kerosene is meant to make you feel at your lowest, Realign is meant to feel like you defeating your own demons and moving on in life.
What you really *lose* by listening to the Lost for a While EP *after* it released was the impact that it had given the timeframe of its release. Lost for a While released in October of 2020. You may be able to tell that from hearing Stay in Bed, or possibly from the overarching feelings of self doubt, failure, and of time running out. Despite those heavy as hell themes, things really do still give the feeling of hopefulness more than Kerosene. Again, if Kerosene is supposed to bring out the emotions of being at one's lowest and of sorrow and hopelessness, Lost for a While gives the sense of "Yeah, I'm at the bottom, but the only way to go is up from here." At least, that's what I get from it. It feels a lot more like something to push through rather than something to be overencumbered by.
Visions and Afterthoughts feel like a mirror in some ways. You can sense similarities between the opening and closing songs, for instance. Afterthoughts in its entirety really shows how far the band has come over the past 8 or so years. I think in general it's a collection of their strongest works, and in my personal opinion, even beats out Another Light. I seldom casually listen to entire albums, but Afterthoughts is an album that I genuinely consistently listen to start to finish because it's just so all-encompassing. It's like a full 3 course meal. The incredible start with Eminence, the playful mystique of playing by the rules, then the quadruple wammy going from Almost A Stranger's emotional low to Jumped the Gun's playful high to Traces absolutely destroying you, then evening things out with Saturnine, it's just so so good.
I'm not goin anywhere with this essay of a comment, I just really love Red Vox.
I just want to say that I'm really glad to see Red Vox fans crawling out of the woodwork after all of this time. Vinny is literally the reason I started playing guitar. Vinny is the reason I got into music at all. Red Vox is hands down the best band around right now.
Can't wait to hear this being talked in the Extra Sauce soon enough
Now You have to review Skeleton Metal from Joel
I think Room to Breath is sweet ngl
Edit: During the interview Vinny mentioned that he plays the guitar while watching TV with the sound off to enter what he described as the unconsciousness. As a concept the unconsciousness is heavily talked about within Jungian psychology as the unconsciousness being a shared world among all living beings which is more specifically labeled as the “collective unconsciousness”. Tapping into this world as a way to pull ideas for his song writing which may help the songs he writes from this process resonate with more listeners as the lyrics and instrumentations were derived from their own unconsciousness as well. Which leads me to my last point of BINTY PLS PLAE BEARSONA 5 ONLY TWENTY MINOOT PLEASE
I do really love Blood Bagel! I think it is such a well-made Spinal-Tap-style joke album that has wayyy more musical/production values effort put into it than it probably needed, but it makes it also musically good and I think it pays off. And it's stupidly hilarious, like I can't listen through the album without really struggling to not bust out laughing haha (oh and I think Garbage Land is also a great joke-y song, when that came out I had it stuck in my head for like a week straight lol)
Seeing a big RUclipsr cover Red Vox gives me pure, unbridled joy. I've been a big fan of Red Vox for years, and I'm happy you love Vinny's music as much as I do.
SP-
PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I was at their show at TMG, and wow, the energy was UNREAL! I cannot wait for some of the new songs to come out as studio recordings. I remember listening to What Could Go Wrong when it just came out and expecting something not that good, but instead I was blown away and they became an instant favourite for me!
Thank you for a great video :)
Vinny!!!
It's great seeing you still make content.
Melphert has broken into the mainstream
19:50 maybe amigo the devil might scratch that itch
Pretty good overview. Miscellaneous thoughts below.
4:35 hey someone else who heard that!
Studio percussion likely means that a lot of the drums on the album you hear is Joe. Looking at Davy’s Grey stuff probably would have cleared that up.
Cuz I said Kerosene was my favorite album, the title track has become my favorite. I love that keening “Keeeeeroseeeeeene.”
Oooooooh ok makes sense
I remember attending the recent Red Vox concert at Whipsering Oaks amusement park in Georgia. It was truly a life changing experience, the entire audience exploded into violencia the moment they started playing, and they had to fend the horde off with their instruments WHILE THEY WERE PERFORMING.
11/10 concertgoing experience the 5 dollars and pocket lint I scrounged for the past year.
RED VOX MENTIONED 🔥🔥WHAT THE HELL IS A NORMAL DREAM ⁉⁉‼‼💯
Thank you for introducing me to a new band, time for me to listen to their whole discography.
the bagel when its bloody
I'm kind of mad, Anthony Fantano hasn't reviewed any of these albums. Need more music reviewers' opinions on my goat Red Vox
Also, someone please send this to binyot. I'd love to see his reaction and comments to this
He saw it! He retweeted it, as well as the band!
I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but someone sent in a Red Vox song during a chill stream and he skipped it after 5 seconds calling it a shitty garage band.
@@jamesmccomb9525 damn what the fuck I hate Anthony Fantano now
Someone sent him Reeling From the Rafters and he was such a condescending smug prick barely listening to it and was like "don't send me your friends music"
@@IronManx70 understood I fucking hate Anthony Fantano now
Listening to Red Vox daily has been key to my growth
Its crazy that you also got your start with fan-editing Vin's stuff. To think that I watched your reddit videos years ago and we were both on a similar path with where we ended up in our editing gigs. I oughta resume work on a main channel video for Vin sometime. Anyway, great video! Red Vox is my favorite band ever and its really cool to see someone break down everything I love about it. They dont miss!
19:47 If you want some good Ominous Guitar Music, I highly recommend checking out some of Aaron Turner's projects. he does a lot of Dark Noise stuff, but there's a few more melodic ones he's in like Sumac, Isis (I swear its not named after what you think it is lol), and Mamiffer. The Most accessible album if you want to get into his projects is either Oceanic or Panopticon. both are by Isis.
the outro to memories lie is one of the greatest things i've heard
tbh i havent watched ur vids in so long n used to binge ur reddit vids glad ur doing well man
i love red box 🥰
Hi Cuy
Hi Marshal, wait
Hi Cuy
Hi Cuy
Love to see Red Vox getting some love! Also not that I'm any more of a reliable source, but the "half bottle of whiskey" comment was confirmed by Vinny on a stream, i think maybe the post-album release stream if i remember correctly. However I'm not sure if it was half a bottle, i think he just said he had a couple glasses of whiskey before recording the vocals to help him loosen up
I started listening to Red Vox when they released Another Light and it was by far my favorite album. I love all of their music, but there’s a vibe that just can’t be recreated anywhere else that’s very comforting and soothing.
How dare you diss Room to Breathe
but really, this is so cool, my favorite band :3
_The ones who really lit the fire..._
*_...start to show their feet._*
Wait it's feet? I thought it was teeth
@@jm_art_ist439 In my heart of hearts, they *_start to show their feet._*
An addictive devotion.....
TO FEET
I knew Vinny had some kind of musical gig going on, but never really paid attention to it until I heard Garbage Land. That song is an absolute banger that now lives in my head rent-free. And their other songs are no pushovers as well.
Its always been surreal how good of a singer he is while also being funny speen man, when people on the internet have projects aside from videos i always assume it won’t be as good but some of my favourite songs are from red vox
Vinny being so entertaining both music wise and streaming wise is so fantastic especially due to how genuine of a person he is.
FUCK YES RED VOX WE LOVE TO SEE IT
Sad this video isn't doing numbers, always glad to see someone talk about Red Vox!
5:24
Probably not the source that person got it from, but Vinny brought it up in an AMA on Reddit 5 years ago in response to a question I asked. I tried to link to it, but no dice.
Oooooooh ok makes sense
YOOOOO RED VOX ANALYSIS
Mike is a excellent drummer and i'll defend his skill till the day i die.
Would Starbomb happen to be on the list for future episodes? If not, I’d love to see it!
For sure yeah! I'm gonna cover him in a video about Dan Avidan's MANY musical projects
2:52 huh that is the least... most... uh, Mike. I think what I'm trying to say is I've never seen him not looking like a dipped italian beef left on a bench
Red Vox has unironically been one of my favorites since What Could Go Wrong dropped, and steadily rose to number one with every new release. Always happy to see them get some more recognition!
that was super amazing for a first time improv interview! Few but juicy questions
Ive been listening to red vox since the 'debut'and its never left my daily playlists ever since
I know, i love their streams since like.. 2012?
But yeah , i love all of them
The kerosene album seems a little reminiscent of mount eerie (the artist, mount eerie).
Second comment just to add: I think Kerosene is stealthily the best album Red Vox has put out, at least from a lyrical perspective. It's just so rich and so dense, and i think the acoustic and folk sounds really help to let the lyrics stand out. I think my favorite album is Realign, but if I was to have a single Red Vox album preserved in like the Smithsonian i would point to Kerosene
I've been actively listening to Red Vox for YEARS and its carried me through some rough ass times.
Fun fact: Vinny has stated that if there's ever a sequel to Blood Bagel, it'll be titled Volcanal.
(I do wonder if Kerosene had to do with some allegations, but not sure if the timeline fits on that)
It doesn't. Those happened in 2021 and Kerosene came out two years before that
Maybe garbage land is part of volcanal
@@Shark-Fist it could have been made when the situation was actually happening. GeePM had abandoned them and stolen donations to buy stuff, and it probably happened around 2018/2019
Not to mention the whole "the ones who really lit the fire start to show their teeth" fits the situation that happened in 2021
Red Vox is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, bands ever. I'm so glad to see this.
Name pronunciation was correct 😊
You said that Heavy Little Heart is a fun song. Well I wouldn’t call it fun (I do really like the song) it’s one of those songs I revisit when I need a good cry.
Also well I did (like most) have In The Garden as my favorite for a good few years when the second half of the double album came out Playing by the Rules ended up as my favorite of their songs
Red Vox is what really got me to listen to non video game music starting early-2019 when I couldn't deal with the stress of school. I had like, "dropped out for the year" basically. Some. Fucking how. I still graduated early and didn't have to deal with last year of senior hs in 2020 covid. autobiography will continue. in the garden is fuckin amazing and stranded is like, my favorite fucking goddamn ever it's s o good. videotape pincentpastor is a funny duck dude I've literally been a fan of since I was 13 *ten goddamn years ago*. I will also forever brag about uploading my Scoot mii for shits and giggles and flipping my goddamn shit when Vinny found it (!) and. well he fucking asked chat to pick between me and the one he was already gonna use. I both felt bad that the person's mii didn't get chosen and also flipped my shit and broke my silence to comment all the way back on the fullsauce stream that I was stoked.
Point is-
Vinny means a hell of a lot to me personally. Another Light was genuinely *Another Light* at my lowest times, and that is genuinely the moment I point to mentally and think... "Yeah. It does get better :D" ( ˡᶦᵏᵉ ᶦᶠ ᴵ ᶜᵒᵘˡᵈ ᶜʰᵒᵒˢᵉ ᵐʸ ˢᵗᵃⁿᵈ ⁿᵃᵐᵉ ᶦᵗ'ˢ ᵃ ᵗᵒˢˢ⁻ᵘᵖ ᵇᵉᵗʷᵉᵉⁿ「ᴬᴺᴼᵀᴴᴱᴿ ᴸᴵᴳᴴᵀ」ᵃⁿᵈ「ᴵᴺ ᴿᴬᴵᴺᴮᴼᵂˢ」(ᴵ ᵃˡˢᵒ ᵃᵈᵒʳᵉ ᴿᵃᵈᶦᵒʰᵉᵃᵈ))
im a big Vinny watcher who has never touched his music (because of your point about the state of streamer music...) and learning that MIKE is involved actually made me spit out my milk
21:10 When I first heard the song I made that same connection between it and Come As You Are. I took me a bit to remember what it was reminding me of, but as soon as I put it together I've never been able to unhear it.
Every year, Vinny looks more and more like he's trying to audition for a Silent Hill game.
Ahhh I remember the vinsauce comps, the early days
Red Vox mentioned ‼️‼️
Jabroni mentioned
I have Red Vox to thank for a lot. When I was younger, I had a very shallow viewpoint on music and didn’t really get into much beyond the usual “junk food” music that just naturally appealed to my kiddy shrimp brain.
At the same time, I was a fan of Vinny’s content and had started getting more into his streams and catching some live. He was premiering his song “In The Garden” live there and I thought it sounded really cool! (Again, shrimp brain went wee)
So I checked out their other music and I…didn’t like it. I was not into the boring rock sound and wanted more ear pleasing stuff. Their other single From The Stars also didn’t do it for me. But I gave it another shot later on a bit before the new album was set to release and suddenly I was noticing how much actually went into the songs of What Could Go Wrong. It intrigued me and I kept listening more and more. I found myself actually liking a lot of these songs now and that lead the way to me becoming a fan of dozens of bands I otherwise would’ve just ignored.
Another Light was a great album to listen to and just vibe with during my late elementary years, and Kerosene ended up being the most important album for me as it helped me through a really rough period in my life. It gave me an appreciation for it I never would’ve thought I’d have.
And anything they’ve released after has always been enjoyable, with very few songs I don’t have some level of appreciation for. They are by far my favourite band a truly important one in my life and I hear that’s not exclusive to myself.
If Vinny ever reads this, please know the music you and the band make means a lot to us and to always stay true to yourselves and your vision.
Reno is my favorite song ever, never been into music but Red Vox is the first band that made excited for more
this ROCKS. so glad this video exists because i love red vox as well as vinny and mike's streams and i always am down to here people ramble and rave about whatever they do. :)
Oh this is gonna be good. Red Vox is absolutely fantastic.
Yep. Memories Lie will give me full body goosebumps EVERY time.
We both have a signed Another Light. We are now brothers in think
I've listened to red vox since they debuted and they've consistently been in my favorite bands.
getting recommended an analysis of one of my favorite bands by a channel I used to watch way back for reddit videos was not on my bucket list but I'm here for it lol
30:45 interestingly enough the name of the band was something vinny saw in a dream, he gets asked about it on stream every now and then
