honestly I dont think musicians go into creating their sound and songs with any intentions of ripping someone off. have you ever been in a band? ive been in many never does anyone sit around saying we should sound like them@@jeffwolfe4058
Prong should be huge, they are like the King's X of hardcore thrash. Meaning, everyone loves them but somehow have escaped massive commerical success. Tommy is a riff master.
I had the pleasure of hanging out with Tommy, Troy and Ted on this tour at their hotel room in 1992 in Atlanta. Just me and my friend Troy Andersen, Tommy and Troy Gregory just shooting the breeze till dawn. Good times
Me too but it was in Oakland prong opening for Flotzilla,troy was still in Flotz,none the less good time's, especially cause it was a vacation in California, coming from Tucson
Just saw Prong with sepultura and testament this weekend. Prong blew me away. I was lucky enough to meet Tommy after the show. Nicest guy ever. Got a picture with him. Will definitely see them again if they come to Orlando
I serisoulsy listen and seen every band but didn't figure out who Prong was until 7 years ago??? Friends metal friends opening for him looked at my like WTF then haven't stopped and Tommy Victor is the coolest dude walking the earth!!!!! Amazing live!!!! I don't know why it took me that long....and they should be right at the top!!!!
Its so great to see so many positive comments about this band. Tommy Victor is Prong - Prong is Tommy Victor! My first band "Terrormony" covered "PrimeCut" when I was in high school. Some 20 years later on the other side of U.S. my band "Envirusment" got to open the show for Prong and Testament. Was a dream never dreamt cause it was to unobtainable to even humor the thought. but it happened and that 16 yr. old kid in me was flipping the fuck out. Tommy was so fucking cool to me. hung out with him for a little bit and still hard to believe. Gave him our cd as he crawled into the back of his van and he gave me a hug and said I love you dude. then I see him at N.A.M.M. event and he saw me and yelled out "Hey Reno" we chatted for a minute and then life pulled in other directions. off I went off he went. Ill never forget meeting one of my musical heroes. Wherever you are Tommy...thank you brother for being so kind.
Prong.... f8rst band i saw live... with a very drunk clutch... 30 yrs ago. had a green Tommy vext guitar pick forever. Someone stole it. Ill never forget. It flew towards me and i reached out, closed my eyes and blindly snapped my fingers shut. Left the area in front of the pit and checked. I got it... good times
Man Tommy is the Coolest most down to earth man to walk the earth!!! Couldn't have been luckier to see him live but even meet him....and he sent me a message congratulating me for graduating college!!!! I still can't believe it!!! \m/
prong is one of my all time favorites. to me the best of thrash/groove metal examples out there and their sound doesn't sound old at all. timeless classic!
Yea, I got "Prove You Wrong" after I saw a poster on the wall of this little place called The Cannery in Nashville. I remember the moment I first heard the intro. Funny how you lock onto certain memories. Great album.
The Fathers of groove Metal 🤘🏻 this band and Helmet influenced Pantera and change Metal forever. Prong is a very underrated band, Tommy Victor is a fucking genius!
Tommy Victor has written so many influential riffs that still inspire me. cant believe I shared a stage with this guy. fried my brains out to this album so many times. one of the most unique dudes in metal. and Wayne static.
WOW! This seriously takes me back! Beg to differ was the first song and cd that i heard from prong. As a guitar player I immediately picked up on his abundant use of pinch harmonics in rythm parts. Loved the cd and when cleansing came out i was like this Victor guy is the king of guitar tone next to dimebag. Massively influenced me and my bands music at the time and i know many others as well during the 90's
I'm so glad I found this band about 5 years ago. I'm pretty sure I just stumbled across Snap Your Fingers and I was instantly hooked. Probably the best underground metal band I've heard (Acid Bath is pretty close)
Many many concerts. All your albums. Can't wait to see this amazing band yet again. One of those that have slipped through the cracks of Metal that's still around and prevailant.
@@E.C.2 only thing is there are multiple doubled guitar tracks. So it sounds like more than one guitarist on the recordings. It's different live. Their albums sound super thick because of the multilayered guitar tracks all played by 1 man.
I was at a concert of them, INCREDIBLE! It was in 1993, just after listening to some of their albums ... and THEY KICKED ASS ... LIVE!!! One of the best Live Concerts I EVER listened! I´ll never forget ...
Saw these guys with Helmet a couple years ago in NYC. Absolutely killer show. Got to hang out after with both bands and it was one of the coolest times in my life. All of them down to earth and very friendly. Art Cruz was drummer for Prong but was soon with Lamb of God. He is a beast!
I saw Prong in the early 90's at a small club here in Baltimore. Hung out with Tommy in the basemof said club and ate pizza. The drummer walked me and my sister to the car and kissed her hand as we left.
One of the best gigs I ever went to was promoting the album that this song was from at the Krazyhouse in Liverpool (UK).

Love this band, I wish they were as still as huge here in the United States of America as they are in central Europe. They rock the stadium size venues and I love that I was able to meet so many incredible artists due to Prong. My brother, sister and me danced and jammed out to Gravity Kills that opened for Prong at a Kansas City venue in 1996.
Man!! Yea! Tommy Victor RULES!! I mean he IS PRONG. Period. Unconditional man!!!! I'm from Tx, Austin, and this dude rules! No other greater singer/songwriter/guitarist out there!!! I mean the guy knows his stuff!!! He's been a sound man at CBGB's, obviously can play guitar with a unique style like no otherl.. F man!! Tommy is a master man! No two ways about it I know my damn rock/metal ;) Austin, Tx Dennis
you are absolutely right I agree with you Prong was great I was right in front of Tommy he kicked ass Same for him playing with Steve and Glenn Great show.

Prong RULES. Always been a fan. Killer grooves, man.
Tommy Victor was one of the guys who inspired me to pick up a guitar. He's still the king of dirty harmonics.
My first band was heavily influenced by prong as a unit!!!
And a highly underrated guitar player at that! No wonder why music isn't the same these days ... cause Prong is still underground!!!
There's nothing dirty about those harmonics, they sound beautiful & clean.
@@RasputinPrime75 man Tool really ripped these guys off the instrumentals sound like early Tool
honestly I dont think musicians go into creating their sound and songs with any intentions of ripping someone off. have you ever been in a band? ive been in many never does anyone sit around saying we should sound like them@@jeffwolfe4058
Unbelievable to me that this stuff is 25 years old. Still kicks ass today.
Prong is one of those rare bands that improves with age,
dkyelak Kind of like a fine wine. Gets better with age. God I love Prong
Ultimate Machine Yep. And same.
Timeless!
Roy Handy that's what happens when you don't follow trends and just do your own thing.
Prong should be huge, they are like the King's X of hardcore thrash. Meaning, everyone loves them but somehow have escaped massive commerical success. Tommy is a riff master.
There is such a thing as being too high quality for the masses.
I agree. Both bands are too high quality for the masses. Saw Prong a few days ago and met Tommy.@@alexhicks5889
Absolutely...responsible for Ministry's Grammy win for LIES LIES LIES
Troy Gregory on bass i met him and drove him to the gas station to buy cigerettes
thats all i get is a thumbs up? lol talk to me about him hes from michigan
That tune kicks ass, the groove/ thrash metal era of Prong was so rad
I had the pleasure of hanging out with Tommy, Troy and Ted on this tour at their hotel room in 1992 in Atlanta.
Just me and my friend Troy Andersen, Tommy and Troy Gregory just shooting the breeze till dawn.
Good times

I saw them, Sepultura and Testament last night. Fucking wicked show! Prong is a new favorite of mine.
I saw them for a few times recently and they instantly became one of my favorite live bands, what a flawless and super energetic performance!
Lucky
First time I'd seen Prong they opened. For Sepurtal and Pantera 1994. Epic
Prong was one of the all times great groups, Its a wonder they did not catch on more. I can listen to them for hours!!!!!
They still makin albums, which means they dont need fame to have fun or keep rocking.
She is a casual no doubt
Me too. I don’t get it
I serisoulsy listen and seen every band but didn't figure out who Prong was until 7 years ago??? Friends metal friends opening for him looked at my like WTF then haven't stopped and Tommy Victor is the coolest dude walking the earth!!!!! Amazing live!!!!

Petition Prong to re-record "Persecution."
1 of the best Crossover instrumentals in history.

I will never tire of stories from musicians who opened for their heroes. Thanks for sharing!
"Is this an angry album?"
Tommy: "Definitely. But it celebrates anger. It doesn't bring anybody down."
Prong.... f8rst band i saw live... with a very drunk clutch... 30 yrs ago. had a green Tommy vext guitar pick forever. Someone stole it. Ill never forget.

Prong are the unconditional, undisputed kings!
Fan Too
Brainwave!
I just discovered Prong today. Lets just say im not disappointed
I love this whole album. Prove you wrong. I still have my cassette tape of this album.
Time still has not caught up to 😢This whole album. Masterpiece
prong is one of my all time favorites. to me the best of thrash/groove metal examples out there and their sound doesn't sound old at all. timeless classic!
No..its simply THRASH METAL kid
@@chrisbrown3549 nah it has some industrial influences
@@dreat5665 Crossover trash
@@namelessone9523 it has lot of influences even psychedelia
So basically, a weird transitional Prong album that still has a thrashy sound to it.
Prong forever !!! Tommy Victor= a guitar riff master
This is THE song that introduced me to Prong all those years ago when it released. I was addicted to this song. It's still awesome. Great album too.
Yea, I got "Prove You Wrong" after I saw a poster on the wall of this little place called The Cannery in Nashville. I remember the moment I first heard the intro. Funny how you lock onto certain memories. Great album.
This whole album is crazy, this band was so good and got very little love. Its like thrash, groove, goth and industrial all in one.
Saw these guys live in late '91 when they were pimping this album... this track was one of the highlights. Bad-ass album, bad-ass song, bad ass band!!
The Fathers of groove Metal 🤘🏻 this band and Helmet influenced Pantera and change Metal forever. Prong is a very underrated band, Tommy Victor is a fucking genius!
Yes..Prong, Helmet, and Pantera are all in my top ten...
Omg I used to love Helmet. How about Quicksand? Another great band.
wrath child america was pretty bad ass too, coroner, monster voodoo machine@@ejl74
@@ejl74 Stonedirt
You’re fucking right
The P.O.W.E.R of this song is...unconditional!
Riff and bass line are vicious!
Tommy Victor has written so many influential riffs that still inspire me. cant believe I shared a stage with this guy. fried my brains out to this album so many times. one of the most unique dudes in metal. and Wayne static.
we are not worthy...
prong rock.....
Addicted first time i heard them . That cassette was worn out in no time.

Pure crushing sickness! this is the way the youth of today! please keep the true metal vibe alive! 😎😜
The Mighty Prong 🤘🤘
Thank you so much ProngVEVO, this is gorgeous. Metal for ever.
I'm so glad I found this band about 5 years ago. I'm pretty sure I just stumbled across Snap Your Fingers and I was instantly hooked. Probably the best underground metal band I've heard (Acid Bath is pretty close)
Acid bath another underated band
Overkill is underground too...don't know why it took me that long to hear them!!!
I love Prong. Saw them in the 90s and never looked back. So kick ass.
Many many concerts. All your albums. Can't wait to see this amazing band yet again. One of those that have slipped through the cracks of Metal that's still around and prevailant.
Prong and Helmet have been long time fan.
Bad ass!!, I remember them on the Headbangers ball on MTV in the early 90's! Thx!
I got intro to Prong through Vanessa Warwick at Headbangers Ball in 1991 ... time flies. Timeless classic.
These 3 Guys sound Better Than a Lot of 5 piece Bands🤘🤘🤘
A world class guitarist, bassist and drummer will do that 🤘
Something changed when Mike Kirkland left Prong.
It is easier to be tight when their are only 3 people playing instruments. The more people the more room for error.
Simultaneously,it is more challenging for 3 Men to achieve that big heavy tight chunka chunka sound without second guitarist.
@@E.C.2 only thing is there are multiple doubled guitar tracks. So it sounds like more than one guitarist on the recordings. It's different live. Their albums sound super thick because of the multilayered guitar tracks all played by 1 man.
Troy Gregory is a beast on bass. He was awesome in Flotsam too
We love u ted parsons
This song still KICKS-ASS!!! PRONG was awesome this past year on tour with SEPULTURA and TESTAMENT.
Nail on the head correct mgils. Tommy Victor used to work at CBGB...he is hardcore and very old school. This song totally rocks!
that bass is tuned in so so nice
I was at a concert of them, INCREDIBLE! It was in 1993, just after listening to some of their albums ... and THEY KICKED ASS ... LIVE!!!
One of the best Live Concerts I EVER listened! I´ll never forget ...

Long time Prong fan here and this is the first time ever that I'm seeing this video! And this happens to be one of my favorite song from Prong!
I saw Prong in the early 90's at a small club here in Baltimore. Hung out with Tommy in the basemof said club and ate pizza. The drummer walked me and my sister to the car and kissed her hand as we left.
Basement
2021. Still love theses mofos. They let me on there tour bus in 91 when they opened for Ozzy. I was 11 years old then. Crazy. Great memories!
Awesome to find this. Prong & Unconditional was the FIRST song and band I ever moshed to back in the 90s in Nashville TN. MUCH LOVE
Just saw em...Milwaukee Rave again. They vibrate the house, sound clear.
One of the best gigs I ever went to was promoting the album that this song was from at the Krazyhouse in Liverpool (UK).
Utter carnage, stage diving a plenty and left extremely sweaty and with shirt completely shredded
Prong are one of the few metal/hardcore bands I listened to back then who I can still listen to and enjoy
simple, angry, and intelligent. i love this.
still one of their best song in 2023
I still play Prong CD in my car in 2023 🤘
Seeing this video gives me Headbanger's Ball vibes.
Saw them in 94,Unconditional was the last song!Awesome!
music of the early 90's thrash golden age!!!
Saw these guys open for OVERKILL at The Chance, Poughkeepsie, NY 2022 & they killed their set. They still got it!
this sunday in lima peru .
What should i say??? Love it ,or hate it!!! But,who hates Prong???
Fantastic music.
Unconditional love for Prong!!!
Saw these guys back in '91 on Ozzy's "Theater of Madness" Tour. Been a fan ever since. They can still turn it out!
PRONG great band, cheers from Santiago de Chile
Love this band, I wish they were as still as huge here in the United States of America as they are in central Europe.

Saw These Legends with Pantera at Nassau Coliseum 1994 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I tried to see them but they canceled due to low ticket sales, I was kinda shocked but I guess they weren't big enough to headline.
Wow this song is litterally Unconditionally Awesome !!!
Opening guitar riff is so fucking iconic. It's etched in my brain forever.
Best 3 man Metal band around bro!!!
This is kick a** driving music!
This exact song is powering me thru my workouts, making me a different animal in the gym 💯😤 let's fkn goooo, ready for a new me 💪 prong is beast af
This footage was far too advanced for humanity at the time.
An album and song that will forever live on as we were kids watching #headbangersball
I have this on LP, signed by them from a concert in Pittsburgh in '91
Haven't heard this in over 20 years. I was given a promo tape with this on one side and Beg to Differ on the other.
When that bass line hits!
Ted Parsons was a fucking beast on drums. His tenure is when Prong had their best albums, IMO.
Deus do céu era o que eu estava procurando 🙏🏻 Gratidão Senhor!!!!!!
My fave metal band along with Ministry.
Prong is so under rated
Great song!! The whole album is really good, big fan here!!
MERCI JE VOUS ÉCOUTAIS DANS LES ANNÉE 90
Such groove....amazing music..All 3 of them are great...and of course this is their best album..!!!!!
If I had to pick a Prong album, I'd choose this one also. It's as good now as it always was IMO.
The more I listen to earlier Prong the more I hear White Zombie in the riffs and drumming. Extremely underrated band for sure.
Good video, great song
Saw them open for Sepultura and Pantera way back like 95 or so . Excellent band!
Yes! Haven't seen this video since I lost the VHS tape I had of it that was recorded off Headbanger's Ball. Viva la '90s and Prong.
this is my thing!
ive been a fan of prong for 24 years now i think. watch them live. victor doesnt fuck around
Holy shit this came out when I was born. This is bad ass.
Ha. Seems like yesterday to me.
My song turns 30 today. Happy birthday to the Prove You Wrong album!
Tomorrow night with Testament and Sepultura .. Still love Prong always will!!!
I was there. The place was insane! \m/
rob hambrick I saw these guys in San Antonio in April it was a totally awesome show, they kicked major ass!!!!
Is bandage so underrated I've always been a prong fan
Tommy Victor, the king of pinch harmonics...
still one of my favorites!!!! love this!!!
I seen Prong open for Danzig and they stole the show 🎸🥁
That Rickenbacker is kickin ass!!!
What a groove !!!!!
The stories bout Trog that Tommy told us were hilarious bc I knew Troy, as he lived in same area round Detroit.
THIS BAND IS TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKIN UNDERRATED!!!
Totally....and they were so fucking good!And original !

His guitar playing is totally unique. He also seems like a bad ass guy to know. Dude seems cool as hell! I love PRONG, too.
Dennis Mohican I'm right up the street from you in New Braunfels and I completely agree with you!
Tommy Victor is a riff master. Simply put.
Can't get enough of Prong and helmet right now. A friendship just ended over some dumb shit. Oh well that's life.
Just saw them in mesa AZ ... fucking killed it. they sounded great, put on an awesome show, Im so glad i went on a sunday night!!!!
you are absolutely right I agree with you Prong was great I was right in front of Tommy he kicked ass
Same for him playing with Steve and Glenn
Great show.
