  • Tommy Vext tells the harrowing story behind Bad Wolves’ ‘Remember When,’ a song inspired by his twin brother, who broke into Tommy’s apartment in 2010 and sent him to the hospital. Vext discusses his process of healing and notes that that incident inspired him to help others by becoming a sober companion. “This song is really like an open letter to him,” Vext tells us.

    Tommy Vex is metal as fuck. Got killed, came back, improved his life, and then wrote a song about it. Mad respect, dude

    Tommy I'm so proud of you! I struggled with drugs for 10 years currently 17 months sober longest I've even been sober. This is the first time my family seen me actually doing it and not just skating by. Proud of u dude

    I think that tommy is an inspiration. He teaches that no matter who does what to you, stay strong. And if you’re reading this, please take this advice

    I commend him for his openness, bravery, kindness, honesty and articulation. I wish more modern artists had this level of depth, instead of producing and acting like garbage.

    Literally almost cried and I saw how after he explained he went into his mind. It still shakes him up a little and seeing him fidgety with his fingers and zoned out broke my heart. I first heard this song at one of his performances and fell in love with it! Now that I know the story/ meaning behind this song I get chills hearing it. 😢💔💕 Not a lot of music comes from the heart these days. Thank you for this powerful move ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Tommy is both powerful in voice and spirit.. What a legend.... And if I'm correct my brother was in an accident and lost his spleen he now has to take medication everyday.... If Tommy's spleen burst then I'm guessing he's had it removed and has to take medication to cover that... Its rough. God bless you Tommy vext.
