TheProdigy

The dub version is short and bland. The last part is the only part that is different and the only thing that is different about that part is that it has guitar.

The reworked album version is different throughout.

And I will say this, and being from the U.S. I know what I'm talking about, if you can get a U.S. crowd to like a Prodigy song so much as to dance and sing to it, it must remain in the setlist. This was the case in NYC as you can see above.

Also, before the whole world knew of the existence of the Thunder dub, based on YouTube videos, whenever the song would start playing people would go crazy, but as soon as people realized that the beats were different and non-changing, they would stand still and look at the stage with flat expressions. Thunder dub is one of those tracks that make Prodigy look average.

I've never heard the Original Thunder live myself, but I did hear the dub version and it was, next to Firestarter, my least favorite of the set.

THE ONLY TIME THUNDER DUB WORKS IS ON THE WORLD'S ON FIRE LIVE ALBUM!

I would like that either the original comes back and the dub is cut, the original and dub are played together like Spitfire/Spitfast, or there is no Thunder live at all so as to keep from teasing the crowd.

He's not trying to say that Americans are the be all, end all for a Prodigy gig.

I am an American, and I hear a lot of shit talk about how the American audience sucks and don't know how to rock out at a Prodigy gig.

...and here's a song that ignited that audience into a frenzy, you would think it would rock even harder for audiences all over the rest of the world. But was only played twice and not given a chance.

I think you're looking into it too much and taking offense at something that wasn't meant to be a dis to the rest of the world. He's just saying, like many have said, that if the American crowds are hard to get moving... here's a tune that got them moving... but was dropped from the set.
