THIS is the sort of interview i want to see from the people i value. All pretenses dropped, and just an open honest conversation. Nice one Tommy.

ive been listening to Prong since 1987. years later one of my bands got the pleasure of opening the Testament/Prong show in Reno. Tommy was so fukin funny and cool and I got to hang out with him and he wanted one of our cds. my first band covered "Prime Cut" was a really cool experience with Testament too. feel very lucky. and then I bump into him at N.A.M.M. later that year or next not sure but he saw me across the room and walked over to me and said "Hey Reno" I thought that was cool. Tommy your music and style is so unique and original thank you for keep going and doing what you do. I think your a bigger influence on more people than you would know.

Jesus, i really have never understood how Prong aren't huge, Tommy is fucking phenomenal! His guitar tone, his vocal style, his writing ability is just second to none. I just really don't get it. Fucking travesty. When I heard Beg to Differ back in the day I thought it was the most original metal coming out at the time. Then they just went from great to awesome. Cleansing is perfect and they should have hit the big time. Tommy's return from Power of the Damager on has been just amazing. Probably the only metal band that has been consistent. TOMMY! It's not true man, everything you've done from Scorpio Rising has been absolutely fucking amazing man. Carved into Stone and Ruining Lives are probably my favourite albums in the genre this century! Love you man. People know shit!

This is not the first time he mentions not getting paid by Al. Not cool at all. I love both Prong and Ministry. The only difference is new Prong is good, new Ministry is overall trash

LONG TIME (since 92) Prong fan here. My love has never wavered one single bit. Will be buying the new EP as I have with everything else with Prong written on it. Makes me a little sad that Tommy seems frustrated. The last four Prong LPs have been my favorite. I myself am quite irked that Prong isn't bigger than it is. Everything needed for next level punchthroughs has been there for decades.

Finding newer Tommy Victor interviews is like finding gold, to me. It’s sad to hear how he feels about music he’s put out. Especially since it took a big part of his life to work on it. Honestly I’m a hardcore punk guy, so Primitive Origins, Force Fed, and Beg to Differ are spot on what I like about Prong. Once cleansing came out I still appreciated Tommy’s style but it started losing what I think made them special. Once you drop your guitars and start adding all these industrial sounds you lose who you are. Unless that’s who you were to begin with. But that came with the times I guess. You can’t keep rewriting the same shit.

I personally like that they put out a lot of records because now i have a wide selection of Prong songs to choose from and i also like how this guy actually writes meaningful lyrics since that's one of the main things that draws me to music, but if having more records means that Tommy needs to work 7 days a week and can only sleep 4 hours a night i'd rather have my man take it easy and relax a little bit, big Prong fan here, keep rocking guys.

What about releasing 3 Ep`s (digital) and then release them as an album in the end? So then people will know the songs well, and are more hungry buying the full release. Limited for people that cares/buy music. I definitively consider to just release music for few people, as I dont like to be a collector of my own cds. Yeah, and good packaging is important, and cool that Prong still release stuff on vinyl.

Great interview. I wish more musicians were honest about the music industry today. One thing...Tommy seems to, like sadly too many people, equate "the news" with what's on television. The "news" is way more than the garbage on the boob tube. Sad that he isn't willing to go beyond it.

Prong has always been a mixed bag. Beg, Cleansing, Damager and Carved are solid while others weren't good or had a few good songs and a bunch of garbage.
