BAD WOLVES' Tommy Vext Goes In-Depth on His Past, A Near Death Experience & Sobriety

[@andrewbostian2328]

You can't hate this guy, he's such a positive great man

[@janelledayz7861]

FACTS, and beyond humble too

[@wvmountaineer80]

Agreed

[@GypsyRock]

I just took a trip to Seattle, and my first day there, the first restaurant I sat down in (in pioneer square), Tommy was at the next table. I waited for him to finish eating, and then timidly approached him. I had just asked for an autograph, but he was so cool, so kind, stood up, Hugged me, shook my guy friend’s hand, asked if I want to take a picture, scrawled my name in a message to me on my little Seattle paper, and I have a even bigger respect for him now. Love you tommy! Great show in Seattle btw

[@missyv932]

you are soo lucky girl!!

[@GypsyRock]

Missy V I consider myself very lucky for that. Normally I have terrible luck, so that was a nice gift from the universe :-) I was going through a particularly hard time when that happened, so I took it as a sign, a sort of gift from the universe as I said. :-) Lucky me :-)

[@Roberob1189]

I just went and saw them 2 nights ago and I got to meet him right after. It was amazing. He’s such a great person. I was in awe how cool he was.

[@wickedlove229]

So jealous!!

[@missyv932]

With all the negativity in the world today, I like to see someone like Tommy that is so positive despite the heartbreak.

[@GypsyRock]

Missy V amen. In person he was even more genuine. Mad respect

[@tucko11]

Tommy is a hero a humanitarian

[@TCreech24]

Just saw Bad Wolves with Nothing More in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and this dude is amazing. They did a free meet and greet because he doesn't believe in making people pay to meet bands. When I met this dude it felt like he was my best friend he's that down to Earth. If you have any doubts of seeing them live just do it please you won't regret it.

[@tucko11]

This guy is my hero . Like a solider coming back from war, except he went through a different war within his own life enduring a personal life tragedy,I’m a huge fan !

[@tucko11]

7:35 such a sad story .

[@cmdrriotz5283]

This guy seems like one of the most well grounded human being's I've ever heard. Damn.

[@heatherheavymetal]

I Agree ❣️

[@bryanrboyer09]

I love listening to Tommy's interviews! I am 6 years sober and I hear him say things that have resonated with me over that time.

[@pastortommymiller6099]

Congrats on the sobriety. Keep up the good work, and know that you’re respected and valued. I’m thankful you were born, and I’m thankful you’re alive.

[@wendyxx0777]

I'm so in love with this man

[@__Vaudevillain__]

He's such a beautiful and raw person.

[@Jorgetime]

Glad this guy finally has the band he deserves, I like Divine heresy more but this is not bad.

[@VanitasVA]

Jorgetime Westfield Massacre is really good as well.

[@landonleuschner6078]

Saw him tonight... one hell of a vocalist, really commands the stage and the crowd... awesome show!

[@vawaken3860]

[@christopherhays4187]

I seen bad wolves live this year with nickleback in my state of Melbourne Australia I met tommy an he is one if the most nicest down to earth people you could possibly ever meet so if you have not seen bad wolves live yet than do it because I can promise you that you will not regret it

[@scare-a-medic9112]

I just love this guy. Such a great human being. Not bad on the eyes either 😃

[@shaydame0777]

@Dukey Doo the Boxer Dog Sorry for a random comment, but just wanted to let you know i love your page. Anyone following the Conserv Twins(Hodge Twins) and Candice Owens, not to mention Tommy and Bad Wolves, has gotta be cool ! 😬😊🤘🏼 Love that doggo too!

[@scare-a-medic9112]

Shannon Dame thanks 😘

[@shaydame0777]

[@cassiesuders1]

He is definitely a positive person that I love to hear his thoughts on so many issues. He’s a great man and if I knew him I would definitely call him a friend.

[@NathanShines]

I'm here because I came across this gentleman from his explanation of BLM. I just came across him on an Instagram sobriety page and damn is this dude awesome. 115 days alcohol free today!

[@riotrainville950]

Tommy thanks for sharing your story....I being a person of mental health hearing this I know now more than ever I am not alone besides me and my wife. I would love to know more about how you handle your struggles.

[@seanmclennan429]

I have followed Tommy for years and have loved all of his work, good to hear from him and hear your guys stories.

[@rachelcoloradow3kidz722]

Tommy!!!! That is amazing gift! You ROCK!! Amazing and so sorry those 3 babies. To lose her and our world she was admired!

[@Roberob1189]

Just saw bad wolves and asking Alexandria, 2 of 3 of my favorite bands ever. It was the highlight of my life. First I got the guitar pick from Ben and then after the show I ran to merch quickly before it got crowded and I got to meet tommy. I couldn’t believe he was standing in front of me and he was the coolest person.

[@marisolhudson553]

I can listen to this man talk forever and be hypnotized by his lips 😍😘

[@briankrueger6250]

Lol

[@susanrednour1605]

Tommy Vext is a sweetheart!

[@juliewatson1925]

It was an amazing tribute. Thank you

[@user-su6ys8nn3z]

He's taken, ladies! 😂

[@sierrasmith5193]

Just seen him last week and he put on an amazing performance. Great concert!

[@kalyncapito9673]

Bless this dude

[@GypsyRock]

I love the humility this cat has. And it comes off in real person too. Meeting him was amazing. Especially when I wasn’t planning on it, just sitting down at a restaurant eating. He was at the next table. I love the respect he has for other musicians, and what a huge fan he is. Phil Anselmo is the same way, in that he has claimed to be such a huge music nerd, and he really is. It’s so awesome to see successful musicians back each other up and admiring and fanning out for each other. Tommy rocks

[@chellecopley67]

I love this guy. He is just so real.

[@robertpoole5652]

Tommy is and has been one of my favorite vocalists/ lyricist! I been a fan of his since Vext, DH. I thought he was a great cjoice for SNOT, and Westfield Massacre was the shit. Tommy is a BIG inspiration to me and my sobriety and my own music career. I ABSOLUTELY the Bad Wolves album and I have purchased the ALL the singles, the album and everything. I hope one day I can meet him amd thank him for all he has done for me and inspiring me. 🤘 ROCK ON BAD WOLVES 🤘

[@GypsyRock]

Robert Poole just met him at the table next to me in Seattle. I was the only one to recognize/approach him and he couldn’t have been more cool

[@robertpoole5652]

GypsyRock I am mad jealous! I always wanted to meet Tommy. He is my absolute favorite vocalist amd a true inspiration to me and my sober lifestyle.

[@rocknrolloutlaw6113]

Both of these guys deserve every bit of success that has come their way. Congrats on all of your accomplishments. I can only imagine what the future holds for these cats!! Thnx for the upload!

[@shannonmcintyre-bird]

No matter what. No matter what your twin does. You always love them. It’s a bond that will never be broken. Being a twin has been a blessing but it comes with a fuck load of baggage. ❤️

[@melissamartin9066]

His voice is up there to disturbed besides his band and five finger death punch he's wonderful if I was listening to it on the radio I never would've known behind they music thank you

[@brandonsholes8289]

Well I used to like this guy, but apparently he beats women. If those allegations are true then he’s a coward. If not then I’ll apologize
