    Nicest guy in the world. I worked at Starbucks a few years ago and he came in. I made his drink and he ended up talking to me for like 45 minutes. He then gave myself and my girlfriend free entry to his show that night. Was phenomenal. Forever a fan.

    Great interview man! Vincent is such a beast. His journey of removing things that were making him miserable inspired me to do the same.

      Vincent's positive outlook is great, and the new TAS material is the best stuff they've done in years. It's like he got a second wind.

    Vincent is why I do vocals today. Bought Wormwood at FYE in Greenville SC as a teen. Now I'm in 3 projects, and I still listen to TAS and Shut In all the time.

    Got the chance to meet The Acacia Strain at the 2017 Warped Tour at their signing. What an incredible band and great dudes! After their set, I got the chance to meet Vincent and what an incredibly nice guy. It was a pleasure meeting him and this interview is absolutely amazing Caleb!! Well done :-)

      I remember walking around and seeing Vincent, they played first before everything the crowd was dead so he seemed pissed that the crowd sucked.

    Finally met Vincent at my seventh time seeing TAS back at Voltage in 2018. I was highkey star-struck and all I could do was show him my Beast tattoo. Would’ve loved to actually have had a conversation as well but my mind was just racing 😂 really glad to see how genuine and insightful this man is. Solid interview!

    I remember seeing the Acacia strain around 2007-2010 in Toronto with Despised Icon and i would be scared to approach him. He didn't seems as happy or as friendly as he does today. Its clear the vibes he puts off these days he went through some huge personal growth. I looked up to him back then for his music and give no fucks attitude, but now I look up to him even more.

    Growing up in the Chicopee area, he and the guys were local legends. Lots of great memories going to shows. When I started working at Starbucks I’d pay it back to him and give Vincent free coffee. He never payed if I was working.

    Okay I'm new to this channel. I really like the interviews and I want to hear what they have to say, but listening to people eat!? Fuck! I can't do this. Is it just me? Is anybody else bothered by the sound of people eating on a condenser mic that picks up everything?
