This album was MONUMENTAL. It was too far ahead of its time to be appreciated. The old school metal people shat all over it. To hell with those guys. This was amazing. Catchy as hell beats, awesome electronic sounds, heavy ass guitar and bass, heartfelt and intelligent lyrics. Legacy.
25 yrs later my son is stripping the paint off his bedroom wall playing this song.Power music never dies. ....it just cleans out the generational cobwebs.
fucking hell what a tunes! what memories we where young nothing couldt stop us all day getin high playing in bands and doing graffiti those where the days , bless the 90s y0
I've always compared those two bands- they both came off the starting line at the same time, similar starts but Pantera shot through the stratosphere and Prong couldn't keep pace& fell off. Wish I could tell you why.
The thing that always blows me away about Prong is that there is A LOT of subtleties buried down in the “90’s guitar fuzz”. You have to have decent cans or speakers to hear it (and maybe twiddle EQ settings a bit), But it keeps their recordings interesting and a step ahead of their contemporaries. It’s details that showed they cared and had a higher degree of musicianship and appreciation than others.
That's it right there. My Dad was a sound engineer and with that we always had good audio equipment growing up, and this album sounded amazing with the EQ properly set. I remember him saying that "an album that sounds like that didn't get that way by accident"
Prong's best album. PERIOD. It was WAY, WAY ahead of its time. The general mindless public is never prepared for innovative pioneering. Generic metalhead simpletons put this album down, but it was more original and creative than what anyone else was doing at the time.. and the lyrics actually have real life meaning instead of just being typical murder fantasy BS. I respect this band.
Oh it was everyday life being an outcast in '96...prong captured that angst and anxiety of that lifestyle hands down in that era...miss those tragic dayz!
@@TheAnalPunisher I am familiar with, and a fan of all those bands, and this was just so good. It was innovative FOR THEM. The sounds they used were just really unique and creative to me
I got to see them at Bogarts in Cincinnati with Flotsam and Jetsam and Mind Over Four. It was during their Beg To Differ tour. Best moshpit ever! 🤘Oh and I got to get autographs from them and Flotsam after I realized we were parked behind the club and they were passing nurf football out back after the show.
I remeber my stepbrother buying this cd and leaving it for me at my house. Havent heard this song since maybe 1997. I always thought they were Russian until today because of the artwork on the album sleeve
We all know prong is underatted.. dude when this album came out I bought it on tape at peaches...fort Lauderhill not expecting the brilliance...I can never capture that 1996 moment ever again
Love Prong.. Riff master.. Great sound.. Love the singing too, Unique voice.. Great songs... Remember being pumped buying this album.. Already had Cleansing.
Another rude awakening. The hard life that's been our school. More of a cruel day's reckonings. Our prime time used up too soon. There is no kindness to waste Why help those crying for more? It spins you around, takes you for a ride. What is the point to even try? Somehow got to learn to accept the rejection. The tired thoughts from troubling. A weary mind from worrying. Your constant fears upon wakening. Your real life left in your dreams
Prong > Helmet Tommy Victor > Page Hamilton Any discussion ends at that fact. STFU and keep looking for a millennial with 1/100th the talent and 100000% the anger. Prong unites everyone.
I had the extended CD as a kid with interactive CD ROM, seemed so cool at the time! I think it had a few music videos and some photos and stuff on it in a funky UI, wish I could see it again but I imagine it looks crude af now haha. Still effing love this album!
all man i love Prong! i loved seeing them with Fear Factory! i met tommy but only said hi bc i was talking to burton c bell n dino from Fear Factory but omfg prong is by far one of my fav bands
Hells yes !!! Bringing me back ? Remember they come back 10 times harder. Rezerrected hard core ! Do it. Do it now. Before it's too late. By your command this time it's all out war ! 200 million ! Devils in months. Your gateway wraith. Then Jump the portals now ! Overwhelm and desimate ! Welcome back from the dead. Armageddon then ? Titts. ETA August 2021 then ? Dam you're something else then. Better than boredom ? Get ready then.
"Ted, you're going to wear the bunny helmet while drumming in the video." "No." "Ted, put on the bunny helmet." "No!" "Ted! BUNNY HELMET! NOW!" "Fine! But then I QUIT!" (... and that's how Prong broke up. True story.)
At 58 I'm still loving this s*** out of this band and when I watched this video for some reason Tommy reminds me an awful lot of Keith Caputo before he became Mina am I the only one that sees that Either way both prong and Life of agony are still up in my top ten. 🤯🤯😷🤓
This song is so fucking epic. How on earth does it get even a thought of a dislike??? I always love the alternative droning guitar chords in the back ground. Well before Linken Park and Food Fighters ( and even Kings of Leon) used it to define their sound. In fact, they should give credit to this band because in part, they borrowed their guitar sound. I especially love that their lyrics are thoughtful and provoking. Not like the death and gloom idiot lyrics of Metallica and most of the other hard bands of that era.
+TheMonkeyMedicine Yep love 99% of their music, I have seen them live in the town where I live. One night I wont forget. Was standing next to some punkers in the front of the stage had to run for my life :)
Indeed. There is a lot to listen to production wise as well. I do know the late Wayne Static openly cited Prong as an influence and it is obvious in Static X earlier work.
prong`s music has left its mark on my life and for that i`m thankful-no other bands sound comes close or the energy given off @ live shows - TOMMY FUCKKIN ROCKS !!!
Double edged sword. The popular Metallica bands now suck but the less popular bands like Prong and Exodus stay hungry and deliver the goods. That's why I actually buy physical new copies of their music in my meager way of support since they never come to my town.
As a Prong fan, I can admit that a lot of their songs sound too similar to each other. Thats why they aren't that popular. Like AC/DC, every song has similar sound and are simplistic. I love Prong though.

Again: Underrated track, underrated album, a criminally underrated band.
+d3frost Yes definitely
maybe their best album and very inspiring for later bands
Daniel Curran saw them open for clutch. Epic show!

Look how many views this video has. Not criminally underrated. It's only for those who get it! :)

Mom n Dad want the bushes done...Blast this and 12 pack it's Done!!!...Lol thanks
fucking hell what a tunes! what memories we where young nothing couldt stop us all day getin high playing in bands and doing graffiti those where the days , bless the 90s y0
I am 60 yo and will listen to them when i am 200! Love their riffs!
i am 35 and will be following your path!!
RodneyBass74 ditto
39 dog, grew up with this
46, Hell ya! We are all one
Charlie Kelley Im 17 and ill also go this way.
I strongly feel this band is criminally underrated.
Yeah definitely
The only song most know,is Snap your fingers,snap your Neck...i personally have enjoyed all their albums
Love your Quake III avatar
We all do man
Love thease guys old school.forever .
I saw Prong & Pantera at Nassau Coliseum 1994!!!💪💪🤘🤘💯
My 2 top favs.

It wasn't all that innovative. Bands like Ministry, Killing Joke, White Zombie, etc were doing it for years.
@@TheAnalPunisher I am familiar with, and a fan of all those bands, and this was just so good. It was innovative FOR THEM. The sounds they used were just really unique and creative to me
I love this song and Face Value. idk the album is sort of an homogenic blur soundwise. Did they do more commercial songs like this?
No one does guitar textures better than Tommy Victor...
Quake 3 avatar!
why I started listening in 1990.
As a former guitar tech, why wouldnt he
Paul Raven was an incredibly talented man. he may not be with us anymore but his music will influence many forever.
Paul was a traveler, Killing Joke, Ministry, Prong...Nice work, R.I.P.🎉❤
Prong is bliss.
Tommy Victor is of course a godlike Metal-Icon!
"...the hard life that´s been our school". That´s the spirit of PRONG!
One of the greatest metal bands of all time, terribly under appreciated!!
Childhood here!! 14 years old teen again! Big hellyeah
Thee BEST 3 piece band EVER!!!
Underrated album for sure.
I got to see them at Bogarts in Cincinnati with Flotsam and Jetsam and Mind Over Four. It was during their Beg To Differ tour. Best moshpit ever! 🤘Oh and I got to get autographs from them and Flotsam after I realized we were parked behind the club and they were passing nurf football out back after the show.
What a cool memory 🤘
Prong is perfect
I remeber my stepbrother buying this cd and leaving it for me at my house. Havent heard this song since maybe 1997. I always thought they were Russian until today because of the artwork on the album sleeve
Industrial Metal at it's finest. That's PRONG great fucking sound.
Growing in the 90's was neat.
Was fortunate enough to see them on tour during this albums run. Great band
Tommy Is very talented Guy!!Best Era Prong!!!!!
I am 14 and listen to this song since I was a little girl. Brilliant band, brilliant song I love it!
...EPIC!...Paul Raven - (R.I.P.)
I love thia album so much. It was so different to me back then.
One of my favorite songs on such an underrated album.
Great band, great song. Also, this video was directed by Rob Zombie himself.
Sheri Moon is in the video after all
90s groove metal forever. RIP Paul Raven,
Killing joke
Sheri Skurkis before she was Sheri Moon Zombie! RIP to the mighty Paul Raven.
R.I.P Paul Raven
The RavenKing!
Underrated track, underrated album, a criminally underrated band.
We all know prong is underatted.. dude when this album came out I bought it on tape at peaches...fort Lauderhill not expecting the brilliance...I can never capture that 1996 moment ever again
Even his bad albums are ok haha like Scorpio
I love me some Prong.
Lovit TommyVictor and Prong.
Without a doubt Prong is the greatest band ever. The weight. The melody.
Unmatched.
A timeless classic.
The song that made me love Prong
moi aussi...
The best bands are Underrated
1996
Love Prong.. Riff master.. Great sound.. Love the singing too, Unique voice.. Great songs... Remember being pumped buying this album.. Already had Cleansing.
Have followed prong from the peel sessions til recent
Tack! Tak! Thanks! Danke! Kössönum! Merci! You know what Tommy!
Top track ever
Another rude awakening.

There is no kindness to waste
Why help those crying for more?
It spins you around, takes you for a ride.
What is the point to even try?
Somehow got to learn to accept the rejection.
The tired thoughts from troubling.
A weary mind from worrying.
Your constant fears upon wakening.
Your real life left in your dreams
Always loved Tommy Victor's bitter lyrics
that is so deep
Great lyrics for a great song 👻
Always loved prong! ❤
Perhaps even more underrated than Helmet.
I'm thinking you may be right🤔💭
Best era ever for metal
Prong > Helmet
Tommy Victor > Page Hamilton
Any discussion ends at that fact.
STFU and keep looking for a millennial with 1/100th the talent and 100000% the anger.
Prong unites everyone.
Lesser known and thrice as good. Agreed.
I played the shit out of this CD when it came out
I'm really excited, I'm going see them tomrrow as a Warmup for Life of Agony.
unconditional love .
Another rud awaykining the hard live that
been owr school. ✨✨✨666✨✨✨
This song changed my life
This album made a change in direction for me also....
I discovered this song shortly after moving out on my own and discovering just how rude of an awakening adult life is. I felt that!!!
Loved jamming this song in my car during high school in the 90s
😍
I had the extended CD as a kid with interactive CD ROM, seemed so cool at the time! I think it had a few music videos and some photos and stuff on it in a funky UI, wish I could see it again but I imagine it looks crude af now haha. Still effing love this album!
About to go see Prong live. Had to get pumped here before the show.
July 2024...Song is SICK!!!!!!!
Greetings to Tommy Victor et al from Costa Rica!
Such an awesome song from the great period of the 90's!
I wish Prong would get more credit they deserve it!
All these great comments and respect. Head scratcher why they didn't sell more records.
Prong very good
I Love this Band!! I listen to them all of the Time and Share them on Facebook and And Twitter!!!~
2021, the year of the rude awakening
Rock on from a UK fan
all man i love Prong! i loved seeing them with Fear Factory! i met tommy but only said hi bc i was talking to burton c bell n dino from Fear Factory but omfg prong is by far one of my fav bands
ahhhh....... this song brings me back to the good ol' days.......
There's no kindness to waste! Yeah these guys are legit. I was forced, bound and compelled to rock this song out....😎
can't believe I missed that band in the 90's?
Hells yes !!! Bringing me back ? Remember they come back 10 times harder. Rezerrected hard core ! Do it. Do it now. Before it's too late. By your command this time it's all out war ! 200 million !

But I'll never have anything bad to say about Metallica, the best band of all time!
lyrically, they pale in comparison to, say, Cannibal Corpse. Striped, Raped, Strangled...bitch!!
Metallica are establishment posers who party with the Pelosis. Because they are all so oppressed by "the system". I'm not even kidding.
prong`s music has left its mark on my life and for that i`m thankful-no other bands sound comes close or the energy given off @ live shows - TOMMY FUCKKIN ROCKS !!!
great voice,incredible riffs,I still can't understand why they aren't over the top metal bands...

@@SAF4EVER huge problem with your point, AC/DC is 5 dudes, Prong is 3. Huge difference.

The Best Video from the best album!!! Rip P. R.
found this cd back in 98 at flea market! Obsessed ever since!
same thing here man....bought it at a flea market back in around 97-98.
Its one of the few CDs that has survived many moves since....
Cool video for a cool track
GREAT BAND..................................!!!
I just saw them live last week (June 2016), and I think this is the "slow" song they played that blew my mind. Such a sick groove.
probably one my favorite music video/ song/ album The whole album from start to finish is just as heavy and killer as this song.
this video is so fucking good Tommy victor is so good i love it
I have been dying to hear this song!
flawless album, just an abundance of caprice
I saw what you did there, 5 years later.
Incredible song & band
Accept the rejection!
I love this song and Prong.
Incredible song, like the album ! You're great, on each album. Hails from France !
I play this CD all the time at work, but the kids who are into 'metal' always complain that its not Slipknot or Avenged Sevenfold.
Great song, greatest band ever!! Greetings from Costa Rica!! \m/
