Video of the day: The drug in me is you- Falling in reverse

AP Interviews Falling in reverse guitarist Jacky

Meet Jacky Vincent, Falling In Reverse’s guitarist
On July 26, Falling In Reverse (aka Ronnie Radke’s new band) released their long-awaited Epitaph debut, The Drug In Me Is You. In just a few short weeks—the August 10 stop of the Warped Tour in Carson, California, to be specific—the quintet will make their first-ever live appearance. The band’s lineup features several musicians with extensive résumés: Rhythm guitarist Derek Jones was in the Colorado metalcore band A Smile From The Trenches; bassist Mika Horiuchi played in Cellador, an Omaha-based outfit who released music on Metal Blade; and drummer Ryan Seaman has played with the Bigger Lights, Aiden and I Am Ghost.
Perhaps the most unfamiliar member of Falling In Reverse at the moment is guitarist Jacky Vincent (picitured far left). A native of London, England, the 22-year-old can be considered a music lifer. “I [was] always, like, fascinated with guitars and stuff ever since I could walk,” he says. “When I was a little kid, [my dad] gave me the first Guns ’N Roses album [Appetite For Destruction]. I was, like, six or something. That got me into rock music—and then that was it after that.”
When drum lessons didn’t take (“I wanted to be a drummer, but it was hard and I couldn’t do it,” he recalls), Vincent switched to guitar. The move was wise: He’s on his way to full-on guitar-god status. Check out his shredding on the FIR songs “Raised By Wolves” and “Good Girls Bad Guys”—or ask Radke for his opinion on his bandmate. “When [fans] hear his solos, they’ll finally see,” the frontman says. “He’s really a genius when it comes to that stuff.”
So how did Vincent get on FIR’s radar? The internet, of course. In 2009, while Radke was still in prison, music on Vincent’s Myspace profile caught the ear of former Falling In Reverse bassist Nason Schoeffler. The two exchanged messages, the guitarist uploaded YouTube footage of himself jamming—and the rest, as they say, is history. According to Vincent, he’s always been looking for a musical foil like Radke. “I was in a band at the time, but I was trying to form my own band,” he says. “I was a fan of Ronnie’s old album [Dying Is Your Latest Fashion]; I wanted a ‘Ronnie’ for the band I wanted to start. It’s funny, because how it worked out was I ended up in the band with the real deal.”
The guitarist was in the studio with Radke and producer Elvis Baskette when they recorded The Drug In Me Is You. And while much of the music was already written,  he had a hand in shaping the album’s metallic edges. “I spent a lot of time crafting the solos and trying to make them as cool as I can,” he says. “Elvis is amazing and talented. [He] loves all the ‘80s hair bands, so [we] got along really good. We had a lot of stuff [written] already, but some of the [music] we were writing in [the studio], and Elvis was telling me he wanted crazy guitar stuff. So I got as crazy as I could.  It was really fun.”
Vincent has also been able to observe Radke’s post-incarceration evolution up close. The difference between his demeanor at the start of the year and the way he is now is like night and day. “When he came out [of prison], he had to get used to being around people and stuff,” Vincent says. “But now he’s like Mr. Talk To Everyone.  We’ll be walking down the street, and he’ll be making friends. He’s definitely come out of his shell since he got out of prison. He even said to me the other day, ‘You know, I feel like I’m really getting back to being myself again.’ And I think that’s really cool.” alt

NEW! ALL TIME LOW INTERVIEW

Exclusive Interview: All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth Checks In After Six Weeks Of Dirty Work In EuropeYou just finished a pretty high-profile run through Europe. How was that?
It was really rad; we did all the summer festivals. I think it was six weeks. They line [festivals] up so perfectly throughout Europe and the U.K., so we were hopping around country to country. I think my favorite part was the lineups of the festivals were so rad. One day it would be us on the main stage with the Foo Fighters and Blondie, and the next it would be us and Weezer. It was really cool.
Did you hang with any of the icons?
I didn't get to meet Dave [Grohl], unfortunately. They would always play last, and we were always running around when they were backstage. The one crazy story I got out of all of it was one of the first days we played with the Foo Fighters, we were walking offstage and Taylor Hawkins, the drummer, comes running up behind the stage and he's like, “Dude, I missed you guys?” I've never met any of them before, and I was like, “Wait a minute…what?” He's like, “Yeah, I wanted to check you guys out,” and I was so pissed, because we're all such big Foo fans. That was a cool moment, to know that they actually know who our band is.
How have things been going otherwise since Dirty Work came out?
I think it's been good. It's been hard to follow, because record sales are just absolute shit. It's been hard to gauge it by that, because you look at the numbers every week and you're like, “Fuck, is something wrong?” But then you see all these other artists' records coming out that are doing substantially less than they've done before, and it's like, “Okay, maybe it's just normal.”
So it's kind of a weird place for everybody as far as gauging what's happening, but it was one of those things where the numbers are lying to everyone right now, and we haven't actually been in the country to see if kids still want to come to the shows. Overseas, it's been absolutely amazing. The pre-sales for our upcoming tours seem to be going really well. The hype seems to be there.
I've scoured the Internet every now and then, and it seems like people are reacting really well to the new songs. I'm stoked on it, I fully believe, so I'm just happy to be back in the States and to be gearing up for the U.S. tours.
What do you have coming up in the next year?
This year, our next tour is a little bit of the U.S. and Canada, and then we hop over to Australia, Japan and Southeast Asia, because we haven't been over there in a while. Then we jump back to the States for a U.S. fall tour that we're still lining up, and that pretty much takes us into the winter.
The release of Dirty Work was delayed. Was that frustrating on your end?
It was a combination of things. There are big artists putting out records on Interscope, and also during that time there were some management issues at Interscope. As with many major labels, I think a bunch of people got fired. We just wanted to make sure we didn't get caught up in that shit storm essentially, so we decided to hold off on putting the record out.
So it worked out to be a good thing?
It sucked at the time to hear that we had to push it back, but hindsight's always 20/20, and I think waiting a few months was pretty much worth it.
Is there anything else happening in the next few months regarding any upcoming releases?
We have some stuff in the works. As far as the new single, I'm not sure yet. That's another whole game we're letting happen. We do have some cool things in the works—I can't really mention much of them—but there's some cool things we're chasing and possibly some fresh content and whatnot. Hopefully, we'll have some things to keep it fresh soon.
We’ve heard you guys have a third guitar player for live shows.
We do. His name is Matt Colussy. He's actually our assistant tour manager, but he used to play in a band called the Morning Light. They were on Fearless, and he's a great musician. The record, and the way we wrote the record kind of called for three guitarists, so we pulled a Green Day and added in the unofficial member to help out live. It's actually going over really well.
What else is going on? Any fun recreational experiences lately?
To be honest, we've already been on tour quite a bit this year. Touring is fun for us, so we're just stoked to be back out on the road. We're excited to be back in the States, having spent some time overseas. It's going to be fun to get back out on the road over here.
Are you looking at another two years of promoting the album?
I guess so, unless the record fucking tanks and we have to do a new one sooner. I think we're just buckling down to grind it out.
