“Music is always changing and the changes are unpredictable,” said the great Billy Sheehan. That is true for music as an art form, for the marketplace that asks for it, as well as for the business that seeks to monetise any music product.
In our vlog series, we talk to artists from all genres and corners of the world, about the driving forces that constitute our contemporary music universe. We want to find how the breeding grounds of music have changed and what this means for the creatives all around the world today.
Join us, when we talk to heroes to make sense of the alleged zero - the music business.

❤ I'm speechless I love nervosa and crypta, beautiful woman ❤
I love the track shirley! Always a fav!
Been a fan for a long time, since i heard his music in From Dusk Till Dawn and Desperado.
❤ i love Elize Ryd s Voice.
One of the most truest statements....AK is not replaceable
Can see he's on heroin here. He's wanting to nod off and enjoy his high lol eyes always wanting to close, long, lazy blinks, pale, clammy face. Anyone who's used opiates will see this. Glad he's clean and looking healthy these days.
Women in metal, queens o’ rock. This 68-year-old has found that his favorite bands these days are Amaranthe, Dorothy, and In This Moment.
This guy had an amazing voice. definitely underrated
FEFE s2s2s2s
He has to interview session drummers, keyboardists, and backup vocalists too so fans can know more about the business (the music business). This was a great interview. The host was patient and real with the Drummer. That's nice... November 12, 2023. USA.
Tommy is the real deal. He does what he does because he loves it. That's when the music comes out good.
Perfectly said.🤘🏻
john is a classic metaller
Excellent interview! L7 rules!
More Beaver lol
Omg Donita is so Hot I can’t stand it!
Great band they beat most today !
Tommy Victor was born in 1961/1962. In this video he should be 54/55 yeras old! He is looking great for that age! I do NOT like usually METAL music (I am into electronic), but PRONG is a great band, because it is a good mix of the different genres crossover: Groove; thrash; alternative and industrial metal! Once in the 90s I even was by the PRONG`s concert here in Germany.
There was something respectful and honourable about entering a shop and buying music. Even now we have such shops like HMV but it doesn't feel the same. Music that's obtainable from a device makes me half hearted, I generally walk in and then back out thinking I'll stream it in the car instead. Ignorance is such bliss...I'd pick an album, smell the cover, feel the texture, read the lyrics...see the shiny disc...smell the 'newness' of pressed vinyl. Now, I feel slightly guilty for keeping a load of plastic but even worse for a headache of musical clutter in my head from Spotify. .....Back then, buying music from a shop was the highlight of my day. Couldn't wait for lunch break to rush into a store. Exciting and euphoric. I don't think anything compares to that. To me honest, I always resort to pretty much old stuff and will pay a little extra for it. It sort of helps when you know your preferred artist or music genre. Top of The Pops was an incredible memory for me and my family. We'd be sitting with anticipation to find out who got the top spot.
The voice of crossover/industrial ladies and gentlemen
I SLAVEl l7👠👠👠👠
Hamed is beautiful and very talented, but is he saying that there’s forces trying to “Orientalize” Arab culture and music within Arab nations? That may well be happening within Europe and N America, but I think that’s a stretch to say Arab culture is trying to make itself an “other.”
Lemmy Kilmixter was a L7 fan Donita was having writers block at one point and he helped her out.
She’s is so cool
6:24 Him matching her vibe is beautiful 😀
I actually still remember that very moment, and also that I was thinking, “hey, I’m kinda dancing with Elize”😄
Years back we saw him play a blues club in Des Moines, Iowa. He's a house rocker like no other.
Tommy and Prong kick ass!!!
You know it..snot,..F&J..without A.K.😎
10:43 if your dog starts barking, grab his face. Justin demonstrating some excellent dog rearing tips 👏
She's so hot..I've always been a fan. I hope she's happy.
Would Luv to Jam with This Dude..,One of the Best ,Rock voices, EVER..As of Late July 23..& I'm an hour S.S. of Chicago .. I try to pray 7hrs. minimum dailly.,, I don't like to travel to much..,it sux up to much time, but if your close by & want to mess around a little .At the moment, I play to Hendrix 1970 Hawaii, Over,and Over,because I want to
I have seen PRONG live this year, sounded amazing. Btw. he looks pretty good and fit for his age 🙂
He's doesn't drink anymore .
100% true - Bobby is THE most underrated and loving guy in the whole music scene. I had the honor to meet him twice - before and after a gig - in Brazil. He was always approachable, friendly, treated me like an equal. I never had the chance to tell him this, but he is the reason why I fell in love with Biohazard - when I saw him spinning with his Gibson back in '93 - still the most beautiful think I've ever seen onstage. I confess sometimes I cry watching him doing it. Fucking great guitarist, fucking great person. DFL
This dude is the real deal in the truest art form. Love how he mentioned Alejandro Jodorowsky went right over the interviewers head.
Always beautiful and keen. Yeah, you can bet L7 fans keep you dear in time. And "Shirley" was one of my favourites when HFS came out! Keep on! (Under stage, Milan '01)
Snap your fingers snap your neck😮
I saw them in Atlanta..F!! Can't even remember what tour... probably Frolic because it certainly was way before Act 3.. which is one of my fav albums of all time. I'm here to tell you.. Osequeda is one of the sweetest, coolest metal dudes ever.. I'm getting back into them again and I'm so excited. Rob is a f'n genius.. they were.. one of the best, most under appreciated metal bands of that time for sure❤ I truly hope Andy and Gus and Dennis are thriving
shes right ..its all about Taylor Swift now
Tommy is the man, when he says he’s frugal, just look at his rig 😂 dude can make any rig sound so good! The riff compels him. Prong rules
Lees right about playing live. Too few clubs, too many players. When I played out in the 80s/90s, I played 50 weekends out of the year. 3 one hours a night, both Friday and Sat. 6 hours live for one weekend. 24 hours live per month. I had it good.
Such talent, and handsome man ❤❤❤
Isn't she dead cool! Don't ever change Donita.
She's even better with Crypta ua-cam.com/video/Ecs4_D3Bv0Q/v-deo.html
Damn, that music is annoying in the background when you a trying to hear what Elize is saying. That's what's important...
Prong and Danzigs guitar player !!! Tommy Victor !!!!!
Is that a BRUSSELS GRIFFON? I HAVE THREE BLACK MALES!!! I HAVE HAD MANY GRIFFS THROUGHOUT MY LIFE!!! OH HEART BE STILL!!!!
حامد سنوو شخص جداً ذكي، تعجبني اجوبته الذكية.
I remember seeing "prove you wrong" on Beavis and Butthead back in the day and been hooked ever since
Love you guys!!!
DUDE ?MARK? I GOT GOOD NEWS !! YOU DONT HAVE TO BE NICE !! but if that's your thang I support it! Your alright for a white dude
