![EPISODE 4.08: Tommy Victor of Prong on legacy, technology and lifestyle [#fhtz]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ffKMwJ0cHoo/mqdefault.jpg)
Tommy is so awesome. Underrated guitarist and underrated band PRONG.
💯
Yessir punishing !!!! Tight as fkk !!!!
Saw them 2wice, once as a 4 piece once as a 3 piece super fun the guys a one man attack machine !!!!!
...one of the greatests...that doesnt get the love that he deserves...
💯
Simplicity, I like it.
Tommy Victor: Fenomenal composer, riff master, guitar player and awesome dude.
:)
Another underrated guitar player. He’s had some heavy as fuk riffs in his career.
🤘
Back in the 80s, Tommy Victor used to get amazing tones just using a budget Japanese Charvel Predator w/one EMG81 pickup through a Harry Kolbe modified Marshall JCM 800. He still gets an awesome tone with his more modern day equipment. A highly underrated player.
Very underrated indeed.
In the 90’s got amazing tone with solid state marshalls! So good that even dimebag claimed tommy had the best tone and using solid states in guitar world interview
@@Joetrout Solid state Marshalls are a great starter amp on a decent budget. Great volume, effects and tone!
Joe Trout When I saw them on the Cleansing” Tour, he was using Marshall Valvestates. 12AX7 Tube Preamp / Solid State Power section. Killer tone. Still to this day, the intro on “Out of this Misery” is my favorite. What a tone!!
Good to see and hear Tommy is still banging. Been a big fan ever since hearing Force Fed in 89!
came here specifically because his live tone is one of my favorite.
:)
I couldn't believe his live crunchy tone from a semi hollow body guitar (Charvelle?) That was the Rude Awakening tour. He has always had great tone.
Tommy is the inventor of so many sounds and guitar styles we do like today that's not even funny. Besides that the roadie/soundtech mentality he has when organizing his stuff is awesome. Just went to a prong gig and he coordinated from his guitar to the FOH soundtech with mastery. The noise gate vs gain game was the most brutal I saw. Long live tommy victor !
Love PRONG one of the best groove metal bands ever
Tommy is a Freaking legend. Loved this.
Definitely!
What a great tone and great inspiration for decades. Stay strong TOMMY
😀
always been a big fan of Tommy Victor. brutal riffs, godly tone, and I always loved his solo style. a lot like Piggy used to be. nice fast in and out of there with the solos. hell, can't talk enough about his sound. it's like his guitar is a chainsaw trying to eat concrete. i love it.
He's an awesome guitarist!
My first thought when Prong came out was how similar his rhythm style was to Piggy's!
Fuck yea, my buddy Dave asked me in the 80s, about Beg to Differ....is that Piggy?
Prong rules.
Amazing rythm guitarist
Very tight right hand and creator of awesome riffs
🤘
Tommy Victor Rules!
He most certainly does!
This guy has been creating killer riffs for years. Also a great soundsmith. Loved his sound forever. Just hits you right in the face.
Tommy Victor is the original riff meister, love his style and just a great character and friendly guy. Clearly work his arse off! A guy with his skills is gonna be busy! Legendary musician 👊
🤘
A legend. What a great spirit.
💯
I met Tommy in Dayton, OH several years ago when Prong opened for Soulfly. He's a really nice guy and has great guitar tone.
Totally agree!
I had a couple of email exchanges with him a few years ago and he came across as a real self-effacing and inquisitive guy. Wish there were more like him.
Scene prong open for Zakk Wylde tonight absolutely killed it love that guitar tone
Tommy Victor, love his stuff 🤟🎸🥁🎤
😀😀
Tommy Victor and Scott Hull (PxD) are sophisticated Riff Robots sent back in time to change the future!
Possibly the most underrated band EVER! Tommy's definitely my favorite part of the group Danzig.
🤘
Awesome custom guitar from a Very underrated musician! Love PRONG to death!!!
All guitars, amp, processors and stuff are awesome. But Tommy happily smiling with his mic stand at the end of the video its priceless.! great musician, great band, great music. Thanks you for this exquisite video.
So glad you liked it the video!
wearing an overkill sweater! fuck yea! Love your riff's thanks for the music.
Love Prong but I could not stop laughing when he said "brown hole" lol
XD
Shout out to Tommy Victor. Legend.
💯
🤘🤘 Tommy rules! I appreciate the depth and detail in his gear discussion. Everything from the type of picks, strings, string gauges, knob settings. One of my favorite riffmeisters of all time!
Definitely!
love Prong buddy, since early 90s
😀😀
Great guy and a true professional
Totally agree!
Minimal, simple, humble, the marks of a great experienced professional.
🤘
The best rig rundown I have ever seen. This is the first one I have ever seen on this channel and easily tops all the Premier Guitar Rig Rundowns. BTW, just saw Tommy w/Danzig at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, AZ. Great Show, thanks Tommy for a memorable night!
If you like this episode of Gear Masters, you'll definitely love a lot of the others too. We have nearly 150 episodes of the series.
Awesome guy loves his fans and put on a great show back in may in Orlando
He is definitely a great guy!
How can you not love this guy!? LEGEND! Awesome job DTB, thanks for posting!
He's an awesome guy!
Love how he explains what he likes about his gear,an what it actually does to where ive seen other videos to where the gear owners had no clue to what they have or how it actually works..tommy is the man
Tommy is great!
Tommy Victor (of Danzig and Prong) shows off the gear that he uses while on stage!
What bands should we film with next?
Tommy Victor has one of the best guitar sounds in all of metal in my opinion. I say do Doyle of the Misfits or Kenny Hickey of Type O!
OBITUARY!!!!
TWITCHING TOUNGES
Marc Cuomo We'll do our best to get them!
cannibal corpse
absolutely killer gear guide, thanks for sharing this!!! Tommy is a genius and true inspiration!
Tommy is a great guy! Make sure you check out other episodes of Gear Masters and subscribe if you haven't yet! :)
Loved Danzig, Love PRONG!! Common thread is this Man!
I want one of each love the tuning legend Tommy Victor is a legend Long Live Prong 🛒
🤘
Tommy keeps me head banging
This dude has the tone ,period....
🤘🤘
My hero!!
man, very cool, he really went in depth in his explanations, thanks Tommy and DTB
No problem!
Great Guy ... just watched the bus one , you can see he's a good solid Man , no to mention a Rock Metal Legend
Totally agree!
Tommy is one of the tone-masters of the universe .All he has to do is snap his fingers and he'll snap your........
Great job Tommy!
😀😀
Playing better than ever. Fan since Beg to Differ.
🤘
Tommy, you rock above all!!!
🤘
I love Prong!
They're great!
Dope video.
Cool set up, Cool Fella 👍🤟🎸
I just saw Prong and they were super tight, heavier than ever.
Definitely!
I thought I recognized that venue!! That was bada brew!!! I played there so many times over the years!!
It sure is!
EMG 81 and 85
81/85 are the Zakk Wylde EMG's. I use those too on one of my guitars. They sound good, but some sound systems can't handle the output.
Thanks for the info!
One of my earliest guitars was a Charvel Predator due to this man \m/
That's awesome!
Tommy The Riff Master!!!
🤘
81 85 EMG is used by 90 percent of Heavy Metal and Hardcore style guitarist . There's a reason . They work !
I like how, since his gear is so simple, this just kinda turns into ; "I've been on the road for one hundred thirteen years and I'm gonna talk about the importance of this Shure 58, and a solid mic stand with my name on it." It's all the shit that makes it go smoothly without consuming your brain. Something to consider, absolutely.
such a nice guy - such a legend.....
Totally agree!
Tommy...a riffing legend. Just a great guy who's changed metal with everything he's ever done. Brilliant clip.
So glad you liked the video!
Very underrated guitarist and band
💯
SOOOOO UNDERRATED MAN
💯
Tommy fuckin' Victor is god!
Definitely!
Tommy Victor.. You are up there with Hendrix buddy! \m/ \m/
I have a shecter devil custom 2008. Awesome guitar!
🤘
6:25 I agree.
I really wish when I met Tommy I wasn't trashed at First Avenue, I shook his hand and said I really enjoyed his Prong set but after that I kinda forgot what we talked about...2017 or so, with Testament and Sepultura, Prong might have been my favorite group that performed that night. I went mental in the pit, through out but especially during Prong.
🤘
I have Paul Raven's pick from the Cleansing tour, he was definitely not rocking an .88 at the time. I was surprised how light it was considering the weight of his tone.
Thanks for watching.
*sells all 4 tube stacks, buys Kemper
Tommy is by far my favorite guitarist/ singer. 🤘🏼
Br sem legenda disponível e inglês técnico sofre...
Timbre sensacional do Prong, tentando reproduzir com Boss, Zoom e Malagoli...
Brown hole? Love this guy. It’s Brown Eye Tommy.🤘🏼
🤘
Prong is badass
Man, I gotta get some of those glow in the dark fret notification dots on my guitars too.
Thanks for watching.
Prong CRUSHED First Ave MPLS a few years back w/ Sepultura & Testament, and it was clear they were having a f**king blast. One for the ages.
🤘
Those damn pinch harmonics!
Could be wrong but I think Tommy could get everything in his Kemper with MIDI foot controller all in one Helix Floor unit.
viking cruise tour next.
Which Orange cabinet is he using? The open back or closed?
Not sure, sorry!
Black Cabs are the closed back with the 18 ply birch
Friedman Brown Eye is the amp profiled.
He says it in the video, right?
+Digital Tour Bus he calls it a Brown Hole in the video..which might be the " clever" name of the profile to avoid infringement....not sure
pronginator Oh okay!
Digital Tour Bus Did either of you get who was the company that created the profiles? The screens looked a bit blurry in the video and very difficult to read..
King of the pinched harmonic.
Have a tommy victor pick he handed to me at a show with clutch
Tommy I love you bro, it's a Friedman Brown eye, not a brown hole LMFAO
hehe
Same thing XD
Note to self, dont steal Tommy's mic stand.
:)
2:28 umm... I believe you mean 11
great job with this video and keep doing these videos but Vitor kept looking up but it's not bad though
Glad you liked it! We release 3 new episodes every single week, so check back for new stuff weekly. :)
I think Tommy felt more comfortable not looking direction into the camera, so if that's what made him feel relaxed during the video, it doesn't bother me at all.
My guess is the camera was held at waist level. It was distracting though. Nice video DTB.
phatmanXXL It was not held at waste level, it was held at eye level. I'm assuming that he just felt more comfortable not looking directly at the camera.
Love Tommy Victor... but wtf.. you don't even know what EMG's are in there? Perhaps he's checking out a production model that varies pickups by region. Think it should have standard across the board - whatever his preference is.
"I use the zakk wylde emgs. What are they, 51 and 58?"
"Yeah"
What?
i wish solar guitars would make a version of this.
i am so glad peopel are going back to tube amps, for years it was "yeah, here is my kemper"
Beg to differ is better than master of puppets
Hank Azaria
It's a brownhole.... lol
Thanks for watching!
lol @ danzig running all over the place and destroying everything.
Tommy is such a cool dude, but I never quite got why he changed his style in such a way after Cleansing. Used to be that very unique kind of working mans metal vibe. Oldschool guitars, clothes. Now it's all straight up modern thrash metal cliche from the looks to the gear
We need John Christ.
Does he not remind anyone else of Hank Azaria? 🤣👀
Like New York’s version of Godflesh.
