Prong start writing for new album Tommy interview - Jeff Pilson interview...new Dokken album?? the episode we are joined by Tommy Victor of Prong. Tommy talks with us about touring with Helmet, Zero Days, working with Chris Collier, self producing vs an outside producer, how Steve Evetts helped him expand his vocals, Prong’s heavy output in the past few years Tommy said he wrote about wrote about eight new songs for the next album and played a couple for PRONG producer Chris Collier, and didn't get a really great response from him. So probably out of those 8 maybe one song will be used.... listen here: https://soundcloud.com/thunder-underground/episode-172-tommy-victor-prong Jimmy Kay from Canada's The Metal Voice (https://www.facebook.com/themetalvoice) recently interviewed current Foreigner bassist Jeff Pilson (Dokken, Dio) who called in from his hotel room on a headlining tour with Foreigner in North America. Watch here https://youtu.be/D2hZkD3VU0s When asked about his legendary answering machine messages "Actually there was a bootleg a long time ago of my answering machine messages. There was a period, especially in the 90's when I would just make these epic answering machine messages and I sort of got known for it, so then I felt obligated to continue. One time I did Pilsonian Rhapsody, I actually did, Bohemian Rhapsody done to an answering machine message. I went crazy with all the voices and music. I did the Batman theme, but of course I said PIL-SON instead of Bat-man and again played all the instruments. If you can ever hear the bootleg there are some pretty hysterical stuff." When asked which of the three bands Dio Foreigner and Dokken he is most proud of "It would be Dio because there was a connection about Dio. It was the most heaviest powerful band I had been in and I took what I learn in Dio and brought in back to Dokken later on. I would say Dio but I am really proud of Foreigner. Foreigner is on a headlining tour now and we worked our asses off to get back here of course we have Mick Jones great songs but we had to work our way back". When asked if Foreigner will be writing a new studio album "I don't see us do a whole record of new material like we did in 2009 that was a tough situation for us because we are on the road so much that it was really tough for us to come up with a whole record of new material, it was a lot of work and a lot of stress. I don't really see that happening again. What I do see happening is what we had done on the last couple of years is that we will put out a new song here and there maybe include it in some package. I see us going recording of new songs but not full albums." When asked about his new band/ project and new album project with George Lynch, Robert Mason (Warrant) and Mick Brown That record is actually done although it;s going to come out until April 2019 it is phenomenal, it's a very inspired piece of work. We have a new band name but we are not announcing it yet. George is playing his ass off on it. The music is very natural to what we are there is a bit of Dokken in there, there is a bit of Lynch Mob in there, it's kind of that direction although it gets a little deeper, we got pretty musical and deep on this record. We are trying our best to do a couple of live shows at some point. The whole record is recorded and done it's being mixed right now to be released April 2019."
