TheProdigy

Did anyone go ?... what were the shows like?

i was at the one in oxegen, it was unbelievable, for me they were best act that played the festival, alot of complaints about not bein to hear them but i could hear them pretty well like

their energy on stage is unreal like ive seen bands like metallica, muse, kasabain, but prodigys stage presense put all them to shame to be honest.

I was at Oxegen on Sat and The Prodigy were the best band on the day....Unbelievably powerful...love the new tracks Worlds on Fire & Warriors Dance...they didnt play Beat 55 or Unstoppable which was a bit of a shame...but otherwise they were awesome...First Warning was amazing!...Poison and Diesel Power where so cool....and Your Love was played as an intro to Out of Space...
And something I couldnt believe I saw was the guitar player Rob smashing his guitar all over the stage during Breathe...
Prodigy rock again!!

I Was at T In The Park, what a show the guys were on form. The place went mental, they pulled in the biggest crowd of the weekend!

I'm a bit of a weakling, so had to move further back, but oooft! Was amazing

I have to say that T In The Park show was amazing, enjoyed it so much more than gatecrasher. I felt re-energised, and re-vitalized after the show, cleansed almost.
The crowd were amazing too. All the new tracks seem to sound better each time. The stage set up looked good too.

My nephew went along for his first ever gig, the next day he was out looking for albums.

Before 2007 he never heard of the prodigy , whether its because he's from Malta I'm not sure.

But he's hooked for sure.

Wicked man

oxegen was excellent

prodigy played saturday night on the 02 stage while the verve played the main stage.
when i got to the prodge...it was so busy with people I could not get closer than the sound desk/tower thing in the middle.
I stayed right in the middle in front of the desk and the sound was perfect there for me.

the following day i spoke with a few people and it turns out the prodigy stole the whole festival. every other tent/stage was empty...and according to 3 different newspapers the Verve walked on stage to an almost empty main arena.
quote "they definitely had their ego bruised as they played the weakest most dismal set they have ever done, to a sparse crowd....due to the Prodigy's massive following" <<<us



But the gig!!!!!!
To put it simply..the Prodigy were the best act all weekend. I was honestly looking forward to aphex twin & Ratm more ..purely because i've never seen either before....but no one came close to our boys.

They were the only (main) act there to still show signs of creativity (along with Tricky).
They played plenty of new material....plus a twisted meaty version of diesel power....voodoo with some new beats...(i think)....plus a bit of Your Love.
All of the band were very much on form and loving it. The new drummer is better and cooler looking than keiron imo. You can actually hear his drumming this time
I also love the new stage set up with big fuck-off red eyes looming over the entire area.
very cool

some people complained about sound but logic knows open air music is always difficult and one gust of wind changes it.
just fuckin move closer to the sound man and all will be good.

all in all it was a very good festival.
Ratm were extremely disappointing in my opinion.
they played it way too safe without even breaking a sweat.
kings of leon looked like scared schoolboys on stage and were also shit.
verve.....who?
aphex was good but boring after 25mins.
Tricky was excellent!
And Prodigy are still the kings.

Cool T....I was their...and it fuking rocked!...I didnt get to see RATM...I cant believe they were disappointing....thats unbelieveable...I thought they would rock it!....but the Prodigy kicked ass!....the best band at the festival by far

"Better luck next time"???
stick that up your arse, namedropper




I have no interest in meeting the band..nor did I ever have.
I panicked before the festival because I did not have tickets for the whole weekend....but I bought some off a friend so all was good.

meeting your heroes could only disappoint

sorry to hear that... well, better luck next time !

ok that's better luck next time 3 times now...also in a PM.

could you please stfu now.
the gig was really good.

i'm a hardcore raver flinty...always in the pit with the session warriors.
I wouldn't waste my time sliming my way back stage in a scarf so i can namedrop on the bands website for 400 years....even if i could.

seriously man stick that shit up your hole because it does not impress me personally.
namedroppers and vip posers can fuck off to the lemonjelly website
