TheProdigy

Everything in moderation. One mans poison is anothers medicine etc etc
Given the choice between a night in a club with a load of pissed up people or a night with a load of beaned up ravers I know which I would choose. Plus the fact that the risks of narcotics are greatly exagerrated by the government. They even sacked the drug Czar that they brought in as they didn't like the fact that his findings highlighted that most illegal drugs are far less harmful than alcohol or tobacco.
I'm of the opinion that to cuss something without ever testing it is stoopid. Unless it's a Lady GaGa CD.

Wind your neck in matey! I didn't cuss anything out, been there, done that....

I'm with you about the ravers, old raver here myself but at 36 I feel I'm too old for all that shit now, I just go to Prodigy gigs for a dance.

They had beer n cider too.

on the girl being dragged, mayge another pickpocket, if so, good on him, should have threw her in the lake.

That wasn't directed at you, just my feelings on the whole good drug / bad drug debacle. :shock: Coke face.
I didn't even have a pint at any of the 3 gigs I went to recently, let alone anything else. The music is enough for me too, but I'm rather liberal when it comes to "naughties."

I had a pint of warm Fosters, purely to try and fend off dehydration. I don't think I've ever been that sweaty in my life! :shock:

I had plenty of alcohol throughout the day at each venue, and enjoyed detox at the gig, came out sobre and revitalized

Gold!!!

Oh, as a point of interest, I see dealers at every gig I go to. They are endorsed by the venue, and paid to be there. They are called 'bar staff' and they 'deal' that socially acceptable and taxable drug, alcohol.
Take off those rose coloured glasses for fucks sake

ain't got time for these idiots who've had a few bottles of bud and think they're superman giving shoulder barges with dirty looks, like anything if you don't sort em out there n then it will only continue. why wait and let the night be spoilt, either move away or do em.

After the gig there was a load of people who descended on a swanky cocktail bar in Bournemouth. We saw a few people turned away as they were just pissed out of their brains.

no one should be treated rough by their partner/gorilla , but girls (was at blackpool) why do you arm yourself with 5 big bloke mates and then try and start on people for no fucking reason apart from you don't know what prodigy are all about, twat blokes and women , respect to to front crew only made it to omen fucking crazy shit had to pull back by then for air and find my cousin for a dance.... one thing any chance of playing brixton again please, saw you dec 08, but was on a nasty pill, this time and cork was clean ,just drink for me, don't want to be taken to the hospital , again!! ;-( think milton keynes will be a crush fest, i stll like to dance, call me old school ;_0 , LIAM YOU RULE BUT WHY NO THUNDER ?????

I have met some of the best people I know at prodge gigs and, also encountered some of the worst. I don’t understand what is with all the hating on eachother. Where is the love people? I’ve seen some pretty bad behaviour. And I don’t mean funny bad, I mean hardcore fighting, stomping, bashing, to get to the front- People genuinely freaking out and getting personal with the people around them because they get pushed, or don’t like being in such close proximity with others. Get over it! Lay off the chemicals if u cant handle it. Get involved and use and absorb the energy around you and have fun! A prodigy gig is tough, no doubt. But its the crossing of the line from it just generally being gnarly, to actually getting personal. Im just a wee little thing that doesn’t look that scary, and i love the vibe of the crowd. The harder the better. I wear my injuries like war medals with pride after a gig.

Isn’t the best thing about the prodge the fact that they CANNOT be pigeon-holed? That you don’t get judged about the way you look? That its not a wank fashion show? That u CAN be covered in ink and piercings, or NOT at all? That you don’t discriminate based on age or sex? Usually the die-hard fans, (the ones i’ve chilled with in lines for hours before shows) are awesome. You share stories, ciggies, and the best part, everyone is different. Different appearance, different ages, different nationalities. They can be absolute trippers, doll bludgers, backpackers or doctors/lawyers who were the original and genuine prodge youth back in the day. No one gives a shit. Everyone’s there to see their favourite act of all time, and that is what brings everyone together. Plus, the time of waiting goes way faster if you’re able to have a chat and generally act civil. Certain people need to re-assess their priorities when fronting up for a prodge gig, and learn some gig etiquette. That doesn’t include fighting with fans who have been lining up for hour upon hour (braving the elements), who are undeniably bigger, older, and a fair bit more serious than the trouble makers. They don’t want to be confronted by super young up-starts who roll up late and attempt to bite and scratch [do whatever they can] to get their way to the front just so they can try and bed Keef. Thats cool. Each to their own. But figure out a way to get noticed in your own time. No one wants to have to get serious at a gig. And no one wants to see the seriously ugly shit that follows when one of these underagers get hurt [which they always do].
Granted, shit will undeniably go down from time to time. Thats just what happens. But there’s been an increasing trend lately of bullshit. Don’t come to a gig looking for a scrum. No one has to prove themselves. You ruin it for everyone. Go to your local and pick a fight with security instead.

Heaps sorry for the essay.

word!

just come from the paris gig and it was crazy but really nice, didnt really manage to speak to anyone really but a good vibe, the only prob was i had a spare ticket and managed to get it mugged by some lads... as i said to them (resisting the obvious response) KARMA I like my body bopping not beaten
