I saw Prong open for Sepultura and Pantera in the 90s . I sang every lyric to the lead singer and tried to get the crowd involved. The singer pointed at me in appreciation. It was incredible. Prong!!
When I seen slayer a few years back in west palm, Tom pointed to me when I yelled out "SLAYER" As they were finishing the last song of the night. It looked like he did anyway. I mean....I kinda stood out in the crowd. Who wears a white t shirt to a slayer concert? But after barking out the lyrics to every Lamb of God and Slayer song from that night, at the very end, I growled w every bit of what was left in the tank, like the howl of a barbarian....going rage mode....."SLAYER" as loud and hard-core as anything ever! And I'm pretty sure he pointed at my dumbass right before I fell to the ground exhausted. 😆fucking great times!😆
Been to hundreds of shows over the year. That is still my favorite show to have witnessed. 🤘 Summer of 1994 10 days before Metallica Suicidal Tendencies. Good year, great times
You lucky bastard. Fucking awesome. I just recently saw them with VOIVOD, always loved them but never saw them live. They killed what an awesome band 🤘
@@darrenzwengel7988 It was a weird show. They didn't even have a stage. They just shoved them in a corner. But it was nice being right there up front on the same level as the bands.
People are calling Prong 'under rated' which they definitely ARE.... but... with that comes the incredible power of being a band that instantly raises the distinction of those who 'know' - You cannot manufacture that sort of legend. Happy Birthday Tommy.
After listening them live in 1993 (!!!), I went backstage, found them i a tiny cabin resting after the gig. I asked them "Can I visit you - but I don´t wan´t to disturb you!" And Tommy answered: "Who is disturbing? COME IN!" And we talked about the Rock Biz, Music, guitars, and it what incredible nice ... I had to leave them ´cause I was so tired, and if I wouldn´t, we still would be sitting there and drinkin´ beer and talking ... I´ll never forget. One of the most underrated bands ever.
@@69draven73 I love me some Kyuss! Too bad they had to sell out and become "Queers of the Stone Age". Saw them in London Ontario at Call the Office a couple times, they were alright I guess, but they were nothing like Kyuss.
I loved "Beg To Differ" and "Prove You Wrong", but Prong really found their sound on this album. This album was perfection. It still blows my mind that this album was overlooked by the critics and fans. These guys should have been huge, in the metal world anyways. I saw Prong open for Bad Brains in 1994 in Philly and Prong destroyed the place. They were so tight live. I have been listening to them for over20 years, and their music still hasn't gotten old!
Oh yeah...been a fan since I first heard Cleansing in '94, then bought their previous Beg To Differ and Prove You Wrong plus follow-up Rude Awakening as well.
I heard this album when it came out back in '94 and remembered it sounding so fresh. Nearly 20 years later, it sounds fresher than ever. This album will never age.
For 20+ years I have listened to and seen about every band, but never heard of Prong until 2016...soon as I did...then I can't quit listening and will take the longest road trip to see them anytime I can!!! Was an honor to meet Tommy!!! Sucks though, because randomly got to hear them so def "overlooked"
Playing for the hate team Shut out, cut out of the mainstream If you like to play victim You play your part so well That's how we'll treat you If it suits you so well Hey now, its all turning Watch your world burn Hey now, its all burning Watch your world turn Playing on the hate team Shut out, cut out of the mainstream Playing for the hate team Hate team Hey now, its all burning Watch your world turn Hey now, it's all turning Watch your world burn If you never felt decent And you feel rather mean Don't wear your hurt so pathetic Let your mind set you free, yeah Playin' on the hate team Shut out, cut out of the mainstream Whose fist is this anyway?
My favourite riff of all time is the final outro riff to this song - when Ted Parsons just hits the snare, kick and hi-hat all at the same time for the final bit is so sick it kills me.
Such a great band. I’m 60 and still live it. So incredible to see Paul Raven playing bass in this clip, rip. I saw him with Killing Joke in a club in Boston in the early 90’s and he was incredible. Met him briefly in the lot after and he was a total king. 👍
I’ve been into metal since I was a kid and now turn 25 this month… I found out about prong a few months ago heard this song and instantly became 1 of my favorite bands. I listen to this song when I’m at the gym
Saw them in dallas at a small venue...pure raw, hardcore new york style metal at its finest....and then dimebag and two other members of pantera showed up.(rex and vinnie), they were in between tours...pure chaotic metal fun, the jam session at end of this song i thought the floor was goona break.
Oh my..this bands music, the memories lol. My friends Nanners and Kevin, omg. So many songs and bands cranked in our cars…we had so much crazy fun then.
PRONG is not underrated ! They are not sellouts ! Big difference . . . All Great living works of art do not demand global attention . . . That is exactly what preserves them . . . You want them to become U2 ! Humble yourself breath the universe in breath the parasite out . . .
AQ! Another one of my favorite song's as a child!) Prong! Yeah!) I had showed up, for several different concerts! Enjoyed Prongs show's also! Showed to Kitties concert, 3 times Panteras concerts, Sepultura was in the mix of Panteras concert at the Wesleco Texas convention center. Also Showed to mosh pits, cheering on, head banging, and stage dives to several other local music band's: Punk Rock, Heavy Metal, Black Metal, Alternative, Thrash Metal, Rap, some country band's too! All too amazing performers!)🥰😍🤪😜🤩😃😁
I saw Prong & Pantera @ Nassau Coliseum[ circa 1994) and I was blown away by Prong. Sepultura was supposed to be the Headliner, but cancelled due to an injury. Members of Pantera & Prong did " Chaos AD" and " Territory" 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Holy Cow!!!!!! What a Show. It's on youtube. Someone used an old cam Corder, but it still Rulz. [ 28] Years Ago.
I saw Prong open for Pantera at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island in 1994. Sepultura was supposed to be the Headlining Band, but one of the Members, I think Max broke his arm or something and they canceled. Prong Kicked some major ass & So did Pantera. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Me trae buenos recuerdos esta canción. Mi papá tenía el "Cleansing" y ponía esta canción en el auto cuando yo era niña y el me iba a dejar a la escuela.
As someone who endured bullying in high school, this song struck a chord with me. The “hate team” to me were the jocks and soshes who made life hell for the rest of us. As an adult, it’s the “mainstream” that try to spurn the outcasts who refuse to be like everyone else.
Good Question. Saw them with Flotsam and Jetsam when they toured together in the early 90s. Saw them twice. Still a big fan. Seen Prong open for Danzig.. very good. But I loved the original lineup. If those 3 ever get back together... oh man..
renrut0. Yeah, it seems it all started with a guy from a rival gang hanging out in a bar in the other guys territory, then the confrontation with the mob bosses and then the guy who started all gets tortured and killed, what I don't understand is why both Mafia bosses got human eyes on their food, unless the "Hate Team" which is mentioned in the song is paying so there are killings on both sides, maybe I'm over thinking this.
Cleansing is one of the all time great metal albums. It just rocks from start to finish. Prong is also criminally underrated.
So fucking true!
just so
yes ...but what the hell is this song about?I been wondering fer few years now
gang violence?
+P.G. K Agreed - on both counts! Epic album, and Prong rocked!

Saw that tour in Dayton Ohio
I was there at Nassau Coliseum. Prong encouraged everyone to rush the stage. So we did. I was 19. Was awesome
Saw them at a dive bar in the mid 90s. The opening bands were Drown and Clutch. That was a show of a lifetime.
You lucky bastard. Fucking awesome. I just recently saw them with VOIVOD, always loved them but never saw them live. They killed what an awesome band 🤘
@@darrenzwengel7988 It was a weird show. They didn't even have a stage. They just shoved them in a corner. But it was nice being right there up front on the same level as the bands.
I saw them with drown , pitchshifter and God head
That riff towards the end... one of the best ever.
The Best!!
The money riff!
Kinda reminds me of Ministry.
tommy always comes up with great riffs.
@@jeorgewatson more like Kmfdm.
Here i am. 2023 and still headbanging to this amazing album. Prong still rules!
2024 here and doing the same. It was time to come back around to Prong and Tommy.
2024 and still rocking it
This planet needs more honest metal like Prong.
So true
🤘🤘🤘🤘

One of the most underrated bands ever.
Prong, Voivod, Kyuss and Coroner have to be the four most criminally underrated bands ever...
I'll have to check out Coroner. Thanks
@@BigRedR-o7h best technical Thrash band out there
King's X honestly
Kyuss was an Awesome Desert stoner rock band which I loved, only thing that sucks is I have no friends that dig Kyuss or Prong. .
@@69draven73 I love me some Kyuss! Too bad they had to sell out and become "Queers of the Stone Age". Saw them in London Ontario at Call the Office a couple times, they were alright I guess, but they were nothing like Kyuss.

Saw that tour in Melbourne, Florida and it was spectacular. Still have the shirt and still fits.
I’m pretty sure this is the best selling album by the band. So how is this one overlooked?
Bad Brains and Prong? I am next level jealous.
This album is still just as fresh, rocking, and kick ass as it was when it first came out! Totally epic, and WAAAAY underrated
I agree, Rock that stays to its roots.
Raven looks awesome in this video. RIP🖤🌹
was looking for someone to notice him. RIP
The bridge between Killing Joke, Ministry, Prong!❤ RIP
Prong was definitely in the soundtrack to the 90s.
Never did find out who’s fist it was
30 years later and its still a mystery...
🤣🤣🤣
Maybe one of the Made Guys from Brooklyn 🤘🤘😎🤣🤣
The frontman has one of the greatest voices I've heard in Metal
Vino Shyvo Tommy Victor. Agreed. Great rock voice.
Also a great riff master on guitar.
His riffs are just giant heaping slabs of heavy.
It's like he's churning out these vocals while chomping on rocks. Tommy's voice is so powerful and unique.
Better than motohead
Y’all 2019 rocking ? I’m listening to Prong during my workout . Love this band .
Oh yeah...been a fan since I first heard Cleansing in '94, then bought their previous
Beg To Differ and Prove You Wrong plus follow-up Rude Awakening as well.
Prong and Rammstein in particular make outstanding music when moving heavy iron.
whose fist🤜
Glenn Danzig approves.
3:19- When you've got so many killer riffs that you tack on what could be another band's best riff ever as the coda to one of your songs.
PureEffinMagic hell ya man that riff just kicks you right in the teeth after an already kick ass song
That fuzzy pinch squeal in that riff makes that whole riff "more boss" from "boss"
Truuuuth
Sounds like a Rammstein beat and riff before they went international
These guys were way the fuck ahead of there time
I heard this album when it came out back in '94 and remembered it sounding so fresh. Nearly 20 years later, it sounds fresher than ever. This album will never age.
Agreed
Slick production.
Great album
The greatest line-up of the band
So fucking underrated. Top 10, all time.
Damn straight
jimbo88 superglide07 I would say "overlooked" not "overrated" since most people who hear this know it fucking rules.
He said underrated, but I'd say overlooked more than anything.
For 20+ years I have listened to and seen about every band, but never heard of Prong until 2016...soon as I did...then I can't quit listening and will take the longest road trip to see them anytime I can!!! Was an honor to meet Tommy!!! Sucks though, because randomly got to hear them so def "overlooked"
The Cleansing recording is by far the best of prong I still have the CD one of my favorites of all time by any band
Тоже обожаю этот альбом. Один из любимых, в моей CD коллекции. 🤟
A slide guitar player, not for gimmicks, but for his core sound. Mr. Victor cuts heads every Saturday night and picks his teeth with lightning!!!
Started listening to prong 29 yrs ago. Still like em.
Same here
I since Beg to Differ
Killin Joke is the Key
I don't know how these guys can stand in front of their amps and not be ripped apart at an atomic level by their guitar sound.
Whose here in 2020 rocking out while dodging the Corona Virus? 😆
Just listenned to the whole Cleansing album this afternoon. This record still kicks my teeth hard.
Listening to this at work on my lunch 😄😄
Here
Always
Whose mask is this anyway?
Am 34 grew up in the 90s.that was the best era of metal byfar.
Doesn´t get any more bad ass than this song and this video! Brutal!

Ah yes.. there's the lyric guy,... Never fails always there
Cleansing is one of the best metal albums of the 90's. I still have this on CD and listen to it often as I can!
I dont know what i would do without Prong!
old but gold
Used to listen to this song playing the first gears of war on x box!
Saw this tour in 94,they played with pantera and sepultura. Kick as show.
My favourite riff of all time is the final outro riff to this song - when Ted Parsons just hits the snare, kick and hi-hat all at the same time for the final bit is so sick it kills me.

Met Paul after a show in Seattle. Great bloke.
we jam till the end

Why this band isn't more popular? I can't understand.
They are fucking goddamn awesome
Oh my..this bands music, the memories lol. My friends Nanners and Kevin, omg. So many songs and bands cranked in our cars…we had so much crazy fun then.
I've been a rock and roll junkie for 30 of my 40 years and I just discovered this band last week how did I miss them.
Must've been dreaming and I'm only 30 😁 been a metal fan since 4 😊
Jus an amazing underrated band, prong kicks ass saw them way back first time opening for DANZIG IN 93
My second album of prong masterpiece i love so much ❤❤
Man ... Raven was such a loss , he NEVER lets any guitar player diminish his groove .
Incredible lineup, and the following album, Raven's peak, brilliant bass playing.
I remember having this album at school! Classic!
That whole song is a riff bible !!!
I recently introduced this song to my teenage son's hockey team to get their testosterone up instead of the rap crap. That was one helluva game.
Try Sepultura.
🤣 u didn't get pictures of the opposing teams faces😬😲🤯😵😭
1994. Dayton ohio. Saw this lineup. The Obsessed, Prong, White Zombie
Saw this guys yesterday @ alcatraz festival and they blew me away! Wow!! Never heard of them till yesterday. I want to see thiese guys live again!
Sylvie kejetwitjewel welcome aboard!
Well it is one of those riffs that always sounds good, no matter how long its played.
I blasted my car's speakers with this album in the 90s!
This was the best Prong record for my money. Great lineup w the addition of the old Killing Joke guys, especially Paul Raven (R.I.P.) on bass.
Probably the most undervalued song on one of metal's most undervalued albums!!
First song I ever learned using a glass slide...
Whey ma che fiki sono questa Band 🤩🤩🤩🤩✌️✌️✌️😉

Killer song Tommy! Your grooves are out of this world.
First heard of them in 95 bought the album, awesome outro in the song. When dude has the eyeball on the Prong fucking classic!!
Just saw Prong at Harpos in Detroit, they rocked 🤘
Good Guitar Riffs ......good baseline and lots of energy...
You can't deny, this song kicks butt!

PAUL "KING" RAVEN forever !!!
+Marcelo Aravena I was just about to ask if that was Raven...
Tommy's lyrics and bitter vocals were particularly brillant on Cleansing and Rude Awakening
Seen them live about 4 or 5 years ago in Pensacola Florida they were the opening band for Helmet and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
When I want tó listen tó something punchy, I listen to Proñg.
What a line up.
I would be scared to mosh to this song live. Awesome song.
My favorite Band since Killing joke ! Cleansing is my Top Pick for all time Best album ! Still listen to it since 1993 !
Killing Joke aka Murder Inc.
One of my most most most favorite bands of all time. And yes, they do sound like them....🥰
fun fact the bassist is Paul Raven (R.I.P. 1961- 2007) from themselves Killing Joke
Good Question. Saw them with Flotsam and Jetsam when they toured together in the early 90s. Saw them twice. Still a big fan. Seen Prong open for Danzig.. very good. But I loved the original lineup. If those 3 ever get back together... oh man..
Prong is still kicking where I am!
Why did I not know about these guys in the 80's? They kick major ass!!!
Jesus fucking christ they don't make em like they used to...
Im 38 this year and I remember when this album came out.
