Prong - Unconditional

[@JadeDude1973]

Tommy Victor was one of the guys who inspired me to pick up a guitar. He's still the king of dirty harmonics.

[@jimmiebourque2234]

My first band was heavily influenced by prong as a unit!!!

[@UsTheMusicTVOfficial]

And a highly underrated guitar player at that! No wonder why music isn't the same these days ... cause Prong is still underground!!!

[@RasputinPrime75]

There's nothing dirty about those harmonics, they sound beautiful & clean.

[@jeffwolfe4058]

@@RasputinPrime75 man Tool really ripped these guys off the instrumentals sound like early Tool

[@s.f.morris7331]

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

[@royhandy8365]

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,

[@spreaddeezhazelnutz7511]

Timeless!

[@furnjohn]

Roy Handy that's what happens when you don't follow trends and just do your own thing.

[@mikemc5221]

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.

[@alexhicks5889]

There is such a thing as being too high quality for the masses.

[@IraSiegel]

I agree. Both bands are too high quality for the masses. Saw Prong a few days ago and met Tommy.​@@alexhicks5889

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!!!!

[@E.C.2]

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

[@lokanoda]

Seeing this video gives me Headbanger's Ball vibes.

[@bunnies_go_rawr4934]

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

[@L0rdGrimm]

I saw them, Sepultura and Testament last night. Fucking wicked show! Prong is a new favorite of mine.

[@simla5]

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!

[@jasonlarsen2776]

Lucky

[@jasonlarsen2776]

First time I'd seen Prong they opened. For Sepurtal and Pantera 1994. Epic

[@colonelcorbin]

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

[@jamesmackinnon4314]

I just discovered Prong today. Lets just say im not disappointed

[@sfmorris4897]

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.

[@noneyabusiness1302]

I will never tire of stories from musicians who opened for their heroes. Thanks for sharing!

[@teddmented]

4:03 Want this for a ringtone 🙌🤟👊

[@johannan0032]

That tune kicks ass, the groove/ thrash metal era of Prong was so rad

[@soundhealingbygene]

Can't get enough of Prong and helmet right now. A friendship just ended over some dumb shit. Oh well that's life.

[@judsonbehm5146]

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/

Something changed when Mike Kirkland left Prong.

[@davidmarles9409]

It is easier to be tight when their are only 3 people playing instruments. The more people the more room for error.

[@E.C.2]

Simultaneously,it is more challenging for 3 Men to achieve that big heavy tight chunka chunka sound without second guitarist.

[@davidmarles9409]

@@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.

Ted Parsons was a fucking beast on drums. His tenure is when Prong had their best albums, IMO.

[@s.f.morris7331]

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.

[@chrisfilatow1716]

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.

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

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!
