What have loved if this was longer.

[@protokragen]

I will work on a longer one. :)

[@Ascendancy-]

@@protokragen you rock. I replayed the way it ends on Guitar Hero 3 till my fingertips were sore!

[@protokragen]

That's awesome! I'm glad you found the band through GH3!!!

[@DanteBlack]

Hey, Kragem, just a reminder: don't forget Prototype band, man. Waiting for a new album for more than 10 years already 😕 Catalyst is amazing, and I hope the next one (if that ever happens) is as proggy and aggressive as that one

[@protokragen]

Hey Dante! I could never forget about Prototype. Vince and I do actually have some new material written and a new lineup of the band. It has been hard to find the time to work on it recently but we are slowly making progress. 🤘

[@DanteBlack]

I'm happy to know. Btw, I was checking Wikipedia some other day, and it seems you're a back singer in Prototype as well, not only a guitarrist, is that true? And if that's really the case, can you mention some parts where you sing in the songs and another voice is noticeable?@@protokragen

[@protokragen]

@@DanteBlack there are very few parts on the albums where Vince doesn’t sing. I would do some background vocals live. The only part that I can remember actually doing the vocals on an album myself is on the song Probe. The low voice that says the word “probe” during the song is mine.

Sickness man!!!!!!!! I love this clip!!!!!

[@protokragen]

It's an oldie but a goodie! Haha!

[@EricRPinzonOfficial]

Sounds sick!!!!!!

[@protokragen]

Thanks, man!

[@Zllajomir]

What pick are you using here? Awesome riffs, dude.

[@protokragen]

Thanks! This was a Dunlop Tortex Sharp 0.88mm pick in the video. I switched to a Tortex Sharp 1.5mm pick soon after this and never went back. :)

[@Zllajomir]

@@protokragen, I have been experimenting with the picks for many years, but the one I use the most now is Ultex Jazz 3 XL.

[@protokragen]

@@Zllajomir Dunlop makes the best picks!

[@ChaosPootato]

Aw man I thought this was a recent video and you guys were rehearsing stuff :( Hope you're all doing okay

[@protokragen]

I wish that was the case as well! We are writing new material though. 😁

Hi i would seriously love to hear a cover of you were there from the game ico by prototype... it sounds like it would really fit prototype style make it in to a prog thrash song!! \m/

[@protokragen]

That would be really cool. I’m going to go check out the song now. It’s been a long time since I heard that one! 🤘🏻😁
