The Dead Thread

[Blue 1]

Genuinely cut up to hear Keith was a suicide.

Sad sad news about Keith Flint. Just found out 5 minutes after saying they were my favourite ever performance in the Glastonbury thread.which a bit spooky. Can't imagine we'll ever see the likes of him again. RIP

See so many times, the ballroom Blackpool with the dust brothers( soon to became the chemical brothers) one of there best gigs

My first gig was The Prodigy at the Royal Court. It was mental. Sad, especially given that it seems he took his own life.

Thanks for some amazing experiences.

Not surprising though is it, he was about as massive a cainer in the Rave scene as you could get through the 90's and beyond.

I've been a huge Prodigy fan since I first heard 'Charly' back in 1991 so totally devastated at hearing Keith has passed away.

Whilst Liam has always been the brains behind the band, Keith has been a brilliant frontman for them and sadly I just can't see how they can continue without him.

Keith doing lyrics for the first time on 'Firestarter' is what turned the band from a big band to a huge band. It shouldn't be underestimated how big they were in the mid to late 90s.

I've seen them live loads of times (2005 at Manchester Arena was my favourite) and so glad I went to see them at the Echo Arena last November in what could well be one of their last ever UK live performances.

RIP Firestarter.

Was that in 92 on the Experience tour or 94 on the Jilted Generation tour? I was at both and brilliant gigs.

Stone Cold Classic...

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Saw them live only 6 months ago, they were even better than when I had first seen them nearly 20 years ago... Music for the Jilted Generation probably my favourite album of all time..

RIP..

can not believe this news..

49 is no age

and I was wanting to go to prodigy gig sometime this year too...

genuinely upset here... the prodigy were the pioneers of the dance scene, they transended the dance scene movement if you will.

RIP

He’s gone to another dimension

I'm not totally sure. I saw them in Summer of 92 at an Amnesia all nighter when they shot the video for Outer Space. Experience wasn't released until September 92 and I thought it was before that, but there's no reference to it through The Prodigy's archive or the Royal Court's, though neither are complete. I would guess it was in 1991 but I couldn't be 100% sure and there's no evidence of that.
