Keith and Maxim were the focal points of the Prodigy's shows. They'll need to do something different as just having Maxim out there on his own would look a bit strange. True and Im sure they will but Keith only really sang Firestarter and half of Breathe and a couple of bits on the new tunes, Nasty and the like. Hes a massive massive loss of course but Liam is the Prodigy so delighted hes still making tunes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeppelin Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 I knew this day would come, and ultimately I respect Liam for it. But man, I've struggled to listen to them since the news so it's going to be interesting. Maybe I'll put them on this evening. It must be time.

SouthbanKen Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Liam has always been the producer, so the fact that he is putting new tunes together is no surprise and is really great news for him personally. In terms of the live show, yes Keith didn't "do" much on a technical level but equally, on a lot of levels he was the show. Although, equally, their stage set up was always very darkly lit so you could never see a huge amount of either Keith or Liam - but their presence was a huge part of it. God it makes me sad just typing this. Have seen them a few times and can't work out how i would feel going to see them without Keith, if they tour and i think that is a big if, then i think i would probably go, although i feel there would definitly be tears on hearing firestarter "live" without Keith.

The Nal Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Liam has said over the last 10 or so years that hes written stuff to be played live mainly. And some of it hasn't been great as a result. Maybe the new stuff will be more focused on an album and a bit more reflective. Jilted-esque!

Bennykill Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 i thought they were a better band before Keith was moved up front (maybe not as good live). i never thought there was a chance of them disappearing just because the unfortunate demise of a member.

It may be controversial but I completely agree. I stopped listening to them for a while after Firestarte and Breathe came out. I'm sure he was a lovely guy, but the live show basically consisted of him and Maxim saying "Motherfucker" a lot. Was not impressed last time they played Glasto. Contrast that to the gig I went to in the early 90's in Ilford in Essex which had very little MCing. Probably the best gig I've ever been to.

Before my time, at Glasto anyway. Was the sound shit? Keith whirlwinding the mic around and smashing it off the stage is one of my favourite gig things, from tv anyway.

Dennis Pennis came on for a 5-10 minute impromptu set of jokes to keep the crowd from getting too antsy. Thankfully it worked out OK 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
