Vic always seems like such a great dude.

[@Bryan-wb7te]

Good interview. Vic seems like a really down to Earth and relatable dude.

[@Mr.briteside]

PTV was absolutely undeniable. I was into the heavier sub genres of metal and anyone from that time will tell you about the metalheads calling PTV shit music for sceney weenies. I definitely had my own jackass, elitist moments but when it came to PTV, you just couldn’t hate. They were incredible and inclusive of everyone in the scene, especially women which was refreshing since you had shirts saying shit like “Get On Your Knees”. The drums. The guitar work. The lyrics. Fucking undeniable.

[@Kendricklamarslawyer]

Real

[@Crashking416]

It's so awesome seeing these guys back after so long. I'll always appreciate records like "Selfish Machines" for getting me into heavier music.

[@DadModsMedia]

Can't wait to see Pierce the Veil again! Wife and I saw them in Minneapolis with I Prevail and it was a great show. Awesome interview Finn!

[@tiigerpoiss2004]

I really dig their new album.

[@L.D.1]

Well you're one of a few then.

[@domJhurr]

I agree man the albums sick. Progression is a good thing . The albums alot slower than the previous but its great. I've grown since misadventures came out and they have too 👌🤙

[@redacted4182]

I personally don't know why people think this album is "slow". A lot of the tracks on this album is still the same Pierce the Veil I know. They do have songs similar to the ones on Jaws of Life. One Hundred Sleepless Nights, Props and Mayhem, and Sambuka for example. It's a new sound but at the same time it's not. I love the album a lot and even the slower one.

[@its_fatima]

Finn you've got to interview Ronnie next!!! I'd watch the shit out of that one 🖤😭

[@jasonking971]

Yes!

[@Talking_Bout_Driguez]

Definitely

[@jxzzyrxmxrx143]

i love how he never lets anyone tell him when the album should be released or how it should sound. he’s doing what he feels right and isn’t getting influenced by anyone

[@northernxdarkness]

Vic is sooo wholesome! Met him, just once at a VIP meet&greet Kind of stuff when they co-headlined a PTV x SWS World Tour in germany, i was like 15 and didn't know what to say or do, I never met someone from america that I look up too or anything else out of germany and I was so excited and shy, I wish I coul have had more time. Mike was actually the only one who smiled at me and shook my hand, but Vic greeted me so sweet. Since then they have a special place in my heart. But Vic is like sooo wholesome and cool, he seems like just some nice and cool dude in that scene that doesn't seem to be such a "rockstar" or "celebrity" in the scene, wich I have nothing agsinst, but he doesn't seem to wanna be in the front. And it's so nice to see someone not wanna be that big in the picture.

[@meow-en4wk]

2:51 FINN, I am so excited to tell you they ARE back and I’ve seen people wearing them and digging in bins at thrift stores to obtain those beauties.

[@goopher8407]

I grew up listening to rock and funky stuff, but never got into the heavier genres until I found PTV. Been my favorite band since collide with the sky and have even started diving into the older bands Vic had like Before Today. Just fun music and I like the new direction they took. Everyone is super talented

[@EnvisionedBlindness]

I'm not a huge ptv fan but I do enjoy a few songs and this dude seems like a very well rounded undividual so maybe I need to delve in to their discography a little more

[@MrRichieRides]

Omg omg omg omg VIC!!! I love you so much!!! You too together is a dream!!!! I love the new album 😍😍

[@rychenn2152]

One of my favorite bands for the last 13 years or so and proudly display the PTV tattoo on my forearm lol

[@TheFlameBladeWielder]

Finn, I'm glad to be the one to tell you this, Juicy tracksuits are very much back, they've been back for a year or two

[@Cesspool127]

Such an altruistic loving vibe from this person and band truly. Seems so down to earth. Thank you for this Finn ❤️

[@natalie_rose2861]

I love the new album. I liked Misadventures & Collide, but this one is my favorite. I've never been a huge fan of a lot of screaming though. Which is why I never was a fan of their 1st 2. I just always liked his voice. I also love Alice In Chains. My mom played AIC every day when I was little. Jaws of life to me sounds like PTV version of Jar Of Flies.

[@travisfloyd4232]

Omg I'm so stoked for this one!!! I hope you did a good job with these guys that claim mexicon core

[@metalfreak498]

Just finished this video during my lunch at work, what an interview! 🤘🏻

[@QuincyKane]

Great interview! That topic you touched on near the end was interesting about how this generation's parent's music is "cooler" than our parent's music was; a lot of stuff from the nineties and on still sounds modern today. I've almost been "scared" that the music I love would be looked at as "old and lame" by this generation, but so far, that doesn't seem to be the case. If you wanted to dive further into this topic, I'd be interested in hearing more thoughts and opinions about it!

[@rafaeladrian1510]

New fan. Have never heard anything from them before this record and to me it's album of the year

[@Richardarbizo]

Missed opportunity to ask about the derulo shirt

[@FinnMckentyPRMBA]

Vic looks like he’s always about to cry and like he just wants a hug or somthing

[@jj-og9nl]

😂

[@Swollen_Goat]

Been waiting a long time for this new album! It is definitely a different vibe but I absolutely love it!

[@dianajones4107]

The collab of my dreams thank u finn

[@turbo_spooky]

i never noticed that the sound effects from the patreon ad were from mgs until now

[@valerieperdomo6359]

An interview with Chris Drew or video on NSN is needed!!

[@Blinkptx]

Love the new album!!

Goals

[@gPudgy]

Haven't watched yet, but great interview, this is great content

[@paige7688]

the juicy suits are very much back

[@OakLeaf_]

YOOO VIC INTERVIEW!!

[@ladyindigo3672]

Finn, can you please make a deep dive video about Pierce the Veil? On YT there's really not a lot about the story of this band. There's a documentary the band did forever ago, but there needs to be a Punk Rock MBA video! I see this video didn't get a lot of likes, which makes me sad b/c maybe there's not enough PTV fans to justify you making a video for it. But it would be lovely!

[@FinnMckentyPRMBA]

Yep I did one a while ago!

[@ladyindigo3672]

Haha I just found it 😂 It was great content

[@raccac00nie]

I love that I have the same mug as Vic, that may or may not be from Snooze. Oops.

[@LuxOnFiyah]

Fuck yeah!

[@tylerrobertst-rob1731]

Fuck yeah!!!

[@gnar2552]

so funny that I was a PTV hater in high scool then in 2017 I became a super fan in my mid 20s LOL

[@chrisslaughter8448]

same here hahaha “he’s just screaming i don’t know what he’s saying” id slap past me if i could

[@L.D.1]

Damn u missed the good part then, 'cause this band hasn't been good since 2012 lol. 2007-2012 is their best period.

[@jrmcrlmorales]

I literally had the same thing. I hated them back in high school because I thought they're "just another mainstream boyband". Fast forward a couple of years and I literally had a Pierce the Veil phase, and now I've listened to all their albums. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[@yurisupremacy3709]

Let them fucking enjoy ffs

[@L.D.1]

@@yurisupremacy3709 Yeah ffs guys

what happened to his mic😂

Nice

[@MayaLea99]

i didn’t feel like it was a departure, just streamlined maybe

[@darbysdisneydreams2285]

This is unreal 😍

[@anderssydneysvensson9529]

you have talked about how you like exremlyunecseable and wierd black metal inn the past. so i think you should check out the band striborg and posibly mention it inn any future black metal videoes?

[@Wyattgonzo1]

King for a day was lit. Ready for more?

👍

[@thelittleowl1]

Ayo wait what?

[@TIMIMPALA420]

Bro is he related to Nick Fuentes?

nick martin

[@Jacksonnnnnnnnnnnnn]

The thing I always wonder is will Finn's kid be white or Asian?

[@FinnMckentyPRMBA]

Yes

[@brett5569]

It’s so funny how entitled fans think they are to gate keep a band they like.

[@ChichiNaka]

is every pop punk band rich enough to take 7 years off

[@elfenlied_girl1238]

To be fair, his wife is a model so 🤷‍♀️, also not to mention the videos they had already, they can still make money off of views, as well as their merch shop, and all that.

[@dbgrfdg]

I just checked the Lizzo Tik Tok after you guys talked about it and the comments are literally "name 3 songs" 😭😭😭Why are Metal nerds so cringe

[@billbobbophen]

New album is incredibly disappointing. It feels so bland compared to what they're known for. It's missing the constant push-pull of energy that everything else they've made has, imo at least

[@billbobbophen]

Still love em though. Listen to them everyday and won't stop anytime soon

[@L.D.1]

Very true. Nothing beats their 2007-2012 period. The new album was a snoozefiesta.

[@billbobbophen]

@@L.D.1 literally every other album from them is GOATed imo but I just can't get into this new one.

[@L.D.1]

@@billbobbophen Yeah this is trash compared to ther early stuff.

[@elfenlied_girl1238]

Newbie fan here ( not a TikTok fan I swear, got introduced via bf, I listened to all their albums, including before today and early times songs) I thought it was good, well decent for them since they came back from hiatus, im my first thought when I listened to the album was two things. 1. Vic’s vocal chords are very different from when it was the early 2000’s, so granted his voice is going to change and it may get weaker as he ages, 2. Vic might have changed some things for the new fans, not spreading hate to people who found them through TikTok, but I’m saying that the new fans are being a bit passive aggressive ( maybe a bit tad more than the veteran fans ) they may also think they should change from their original sounds, I thought Vic may have been lost in what to release, I feel like the trend added more pressure on him

[@DeadTempoPromotions]

I wanted to love the new album but honestly it bores me to death. I’ve been listening to PTV since 2008 and love everything they’ve done except this record, lacks so much energy

[@MayaLea99]

vic deserves better interviewers than this u don’t get his jokes

[@innocentrage1]

I hate all these bands changing their sound, PTV, Paramore, fall out boy. Take me back to 05-10 era

[@shunsuikyoraku5428]

Oh man, lyrics are huge for me too, they're probably the only thing i like on this album, no offense Vic it's just not my thing.

[@JzminRuiz28]

Tell why I haven’t seen that video from El Salvador 🇸🇻🫶🏻 Btw what an amazing interview/chat. I grew up in 🇸🇻 and now I have 6 years in LA. I just recently saw ptv for the first time for the NYE show in San Diego. It was amazing im finally living my teenage dream.
