After you are done with the survey read what other people have said. (My comments are typed in Italic.)
When i SMACK MY BITCH UP, i have to settle down and take a deep BREATH to relax. When i go out, i wear my DIESEL POWER jeans and my FUNCKY SHIT top. After stepping outside my house, i have to watch where i step due to the MINDFIELDS in my front garden. Once i have CLIMBATIZEd to the temperature outside, i go and visit my mates NARAYAN and CHARLY in OUT OF SPACE on the planet FOTL. NARAYAN is a real SERIAL THRILLA while CHARLY is more of a FIRESTARTER, a right barmy bugger! At his house and when EVERYBODY IN THE PLACE is jiving, some of his mates get a bit twatish and this really does FUEL MY FIRE bad ways because they are such a load of tossers. To get back home i have WIND IT UP, this is, tightening the elastic band on my space shuttle, quickly get in the cockpit, hit the FULL THROTTLE button and hope the plastic underpants will do their job well. COming through earths orbit, the earth is so peaceful and SKYLINED, oh sorry about that, back to it. When i landed at birmingham airport in england, i couldn't help noticing all the VOODOO PEOPLE or hippies going to glastonbary. The extra 3 KILOS in my bag really brings the HEAT out of me, so i have to take the POISON to cool down. When i reach home after this long day i see some scum trying to BREAK & ENTER to my house. the cops come but say it's not, i quote THEIR LAW anymore. So i said well it's NO GOOD, and chucked a rock on the garden and triggered of the MINFIELDS which totally blew the fuckers up. the moral of the story is...... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Hey, I've already filled out this survey, but I want to have another comment. A lot of you hardcore Prodigy fans are pissed because after seeing "Firestarter" a lot of people are saying how much they love Prodigy. And yes, I'm one of those blokes who you happen to not like very much. Hear me out. I live in America, so the first time I ever saw "Firestarter" I was amazed. I had never seen anything like them. Anyways, I did a lot of searching on the web and obscure CD stores, and I discovered I like "Charly" just as much as "Breathe." I know I haven't liked them since 1990, but that doesn't give me the right not to like Prodigy just as much as the fans who have been with them all along. And for those of you who are upset about "the new style," think about how much you've changed in 7 years. Now, don't you think you should allow the band to evolve as you have? Besides, I thought you guys liked Prodigy. Then what problem do you have with them being successful? But most importantly, they should keep on making music. Because that's what really matters.
I understand her, but I meant the people who don't know anything but Firestarter and/or Breathe. I've been in the US for a year, and I know it's really hard to find good music, because the people are still in love with Rock or Rap. If she really likes them, and not just because of Firestarter or even FOTL, and not just because they're getting more popular then I have no objection why shouldn't she call herself as a "hardcore" fan. Welcome to the Family!
Wow, this is a fucking long survey. You'd have to pay me
to fill this out. in a basic summary, i've been listening
to Prodigy for a little over a year now and, well, they
never leave my CD palyer. I guess that says it all. I
would shave my head like keith for concert tickets, but then
I'd just look like a follower, and my impression would be
one of slow-mindedness. So maybe, no hair cut, but I would
stand in line for long lengths of time for tickets. I just
got FOTL and i'm sure it will do very well. Also I'd like
to welcome everyone to mars (did you see the pictures on the
tube?)
See you in la la land!
See you there!

Seen them live: Yes
I saw them and: 16 MARCh, 1996 in ICELAND
...It was a fucking Dream(or should I say nightmare ..coz' Maxim is so scary
man:)) mate!
Keith as a Firestarter: Hes cool as a firestarter ...but doesn't BREATHE very
well.
Maxim's voice: .....Fucking awesome ......
Leeroy's dance style: .....erhmm.....FUCKING BRILLIANT!
Prodigy and the Internet: the Prodigy themselfs hate the Internet..
Their Anti-futurists
Fan web pages: Some are very good...many are not that good.
My Expectations: Im just waitin For the SPAWN sountrack CD to come out ...it has Prodigy on there...A new Prodigy Track ..which they worked on with the guitar Player in RATM ...it will be titled: PRODIGY V TOM M. (whutever his name is)
MESSAGE to the wannabe fans: PRODIGY ARE MORE THAN FUCKING FIRESTARTER AND BREATHE ...Keith isnt WHAT MAKES PRODIGY's MUSIC good...thats LIAM who does that...Keith Buzzs us tits off on the Live sett
I like them because they are original. They don't try to fit a
mould made by someone else, and they don't claim to be super or magical, they
are simply really great musicians that have found the right formula to produce
great music and interact with their fans.
My Favorite album: Music For The Jilted Generation
My Favorite song: Poison
I dont like this song: No, every song I have heard rocks, (including al singles
and bootlegs)
Music style: I don't think they can be placed in any one category, so I would
say a combination of electronic/dance/rave/jungle/and even rock
Liam's musical improvement: He's an amazing musician with enough talent to go as far as he wants. There are no limits to what he can do next!! Keith as a Firestarter: I couldn't think of anyone more fitting!! Maxim's voice: It is dark and mysterious, he has the ability to hypnotize the listener Leeroy's dance style: It is good, and can get even better with time
Prodigy and the Internet: From what I have seen, they have a huge following on the net.
Fan web pages: I personally think that a lot of the new pages being build are just rip-off, cut and paste jobs of other peoples hard work. I try to make all my info and work original or give credit to my sources!!
My Expectations: I expect them to be original, like they are now, and continue to amaze people with their unique style.
Why like them: I heard "Outer Space" from the Prodigy:Experience album and was
hooked.
Maxim's voice: "Psychosomatic from A to Z!"
Prodigy and the Internet: It's great! It seems like there's been about a zillion
new pages pop up!
My Expectations: After a surge of popularity, they either:
A) Go back to their roots in the dance scene
and become forgotten, or,
B) Create a new type of progressive/alternative rock
that attracts billions!
Comments: Yeah... Why is it that in "Breathe" they say "Psychosomatic from A to Z!" but they pronounce the Z like "zee" instead of "zed" like any other British person would do? Catering to the Americans? (I guess there's actually nothing wrong with that...)
"Psychosomatic from A to Z"? I thought he says "addict insane", but I'm not from the UK...and I've never heard "Outer Space" either. Is that a new song?
Favorite album: I am undecided. There are about ten tracks that I really really
like, but not one that I could call my favourite.
Don't like: Their Law - (I find the guitar real cheezy)
Liam's improvement: stupid-fresh
Keith as a firestarter: gives the band a different image than what their music used to
portray a few years ago. He's a punk.
Maxim's voice: original and fitting
Leeroy's dance style: he's got one feally cool move, but he could afford to learn a
few more. He's really smooth.
PRYandInternet: There are so many prodigy pages out there. I have managed to find one incredible page called the Underground Prodigy Archive. It has every song to download, and everything you could possibly want. Most of the shit out there, however, is the same as all the other shit. If you don't have an original page, forget about it. This page is original. It doesn't have any of the other bullshit that's on the other pages. This survey thing is pretty cool.
Expectations: Sadly enough, I think that they will turn into a teenibopper band and become way too popular. I don't really like the punk direction that they are headed in. I also think that they should lose the guitar. It makes it sound too much like industrial metal. I would like them to get back to the techno "rave" style of music rather than punk. Gizz sucks.
Gender: Female
I like them because they're totally original and
I really don't like techno. But Songs like Serial Thrilla incorporate different kinds of music.
I also liked them before last week when they're album went #1! If
anything, that's now a drawback. And I love watching Keith!
My favorite album: Music for the Jilted Generations
My favorite songs: 3 Kilos, full throttle,smack my bitch up
I dont like the song: Speedway
Liam's musical improvement is: He was always really good but the last 2
albums are harder than the first and I like them better
Keith as a Firestarter: He is Sexxxxy
Maxim's voice is: what do you mean, he doesn't sing
Leeroy's dancing style is: Wierd, he's gangly and he looks like a
puppet with his arms and legs flailing around..it looks like he's
dancing on air
Prodigy and the Internet: I was shocked to see so many sites before fat of the land came out. more than there are for Leonardo DiCaprio. I also didn't expect fat of the land to be this popular. It's like they're mainstream now.
Fan web pages: I don't like the history part, they're all the same. I want to know more about the members themselves.
Official site: Sucks
My expectations: I really hope they don't come and go like a fad. because I know they're gonna be hailed as an overnight success when they're not! It's also amazing how young Liam is. I really think the reason they became #1 is Keith. Liam is the Prodigy, but Keith is the face of the Prodigy. I think they will stay true to themselves and not become mainstream. I cringe whenever I read about them in Seventeen.
Comments: I think they are marketing geniuses they've gradually become popular over the years and toured a lot..then they release Firestarter with Keith's new look..then breathe, and all the hype about the coming new album. The album would obviously do well. Just as long as they don't go overboard with they're new popularity with all audiences, they'll be okay. I just hope they don't come and go like Savage garden, hanson, Spice girls and backstreet boys (i hate all of them). 6 monthes from now i'll be so pissed off when my friends say to me "you still like the Prodigy?" "they're so last summer".
I'm a huge fan of Rock-Techno, I like Chemical Brothers and White Town as well but The Prodigy have a different way of putting it. I love 'Breathe', 'Firestarter' and 'Voodoo People'. I like all their songs, they are a true prodigy.
My favorite album: The Fat of the Land
My favorite song: Breathe
I dont like the song: No Good(Start the Dance)
Maxim's voice is: Its Excellent, but not as good as Keith's
Leeroy's dancing style is: Crap
Fan web pages: Most are pretty crappy, but some are cool, like the "I got the Poison"page
Official site: Underground Archive is better
Comments: Whatever happened to Sharky, Liam's girlfriend?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The first person who doesn't like Leeroy! About Sharky, I guess she left Liam, because the constant noise frayed her nerves, and she couldn't stand it.
I like the prodigy because there music makes me want to get up and dance. I've liked them for a long time, and i have most of their albums (can't wait for "The Fat Of The Land".) AHHHH I LOVE THEM SOOOO MUCH....I know that most people know them from "firstarter". I do believe that that is a good song but they have many more (i.e. Poison, Death of the Prodigy dancers.)For al you "firestarters" you HAVE TO GET OUT AND listen to their older stuff. ~Mrs.Skint~
My Favorite song: poison
Music style: they are a mixture.Liam doesn't want his music to be called "TECHNO" (in a recent "TIME" magazine article, he quotes that)
Liam's musical improvement: Well, I can definetly say that there first
album is much different from "Music for the Jilted Gene." I don't think
he "improved" I just think he took his work "to another level". I love
all their music :o)
Keith as a Firestarter: Keith is just hott!! With long hair or strange
hair. HE IS HOTT, I heard that Keith does not like to be called "the
firestarter". If someone says that on the street, he would get all
angry.
Maxim's voice: I like maxims voic cause he sounds different each time. I
do believe he is a good MC.
Leeroy's dance style: Leeroy is awesome. His feet move a mile a second.
Prodigy and the Internet: They have nothing in common (the prodigy probebly hates computers) HA!!
Fan web pages: I like them alot. Ive been to many, and i think many of them are great! Keep up the good work.
Comments: KEITH IS GOING TO BE MARRIED TO ME :O)...all i can really say is that "I LOVE PRODIGY~~~~~~~~"
I THINK THEY ARE GENUINELY TALENTED IN THAT THEY KNOW HOW TO CAPTURE HUGE AMOUNTS OF ENERGY AND USE IT POSITIVELY. THEY ARE ALSO VERY ORIGINAL. HOW MANY BANDS CAN YOU NAME THAT SOUND ANY WHERE NEAR THE SAME? BEASTIE BOYS, CHEMICAL BRO.S AND RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE ARE THE CLOSEST YOU CAN GET AND THEY ARE ALL STILL MILES OFF. THE PRODIGY ARE DOUBTLESS THE WORLDS GREATEST BAND AS WELL AS THE MOST CREDIBLE. I ALSO ADMIRE THE IMRESSIVE ANTI - COMMERCIAL STANCE THEY HAVE STOOD FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS.
Live performance: PHOENIX FESTIVAL 1996. BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE. I WAITED FOR FIVE HOURS IN THE DANCE TENT MAKING SURE I WOULD GET A GOOD SPOT AT THE FRONT AND IT PAID OFF. THE ATMOSPHERE IS SIMPLY AMAZING AND THE VOLUME UNBELIEVABLE. NOT FOR THE FEINTHEARTED OR THOSE THAT LIKE A LOT OF SPACE. I STRONGLY RECCOMEND THAT THOSE WHO HAVEN'T BEEN DO SO BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT. IT WAS MAD. AND I GOT TO TOUCH KEITH!
Liam's musical improvement is: HE IS CONSTANTLY TRYING OUT NEW STUFF AND EVOLVING. WHATEVER STYLE HE USES SOUNDS, HIS WORK SOUNDS GREAT AND I LOVE WHAT HE DOES WITH GUITARS.
Keith as a Firestarter: THE SONG WORKED AND GAVE KEITH A MORE IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE BAND WHICH IS EXCELLENT. SOUNDS A BIT WIMPY LIVE THOUGH!
Maxim's voice is: VERY GRUFF AND AGGRESSIVE, WHICH IS EXCELLENT
Leeroy's dancing style is: BRILLIANT, BOTH TECHNICHALLY AND NTERTAINEMENT WISE.
Prodigy and the Internet: THE TEND TO SHY AWAY FROM THIS TECHNOLOGY WHICH IS FAIR ENOUGH. THE FANS PAGES ARE VERY GOOD AND HOPEFULLY THE OFFICIAL PAGE WILL BE COOL ONCE READY.
My expectations: I THINK WE CAN EXPECT TWO MORE SINGLES OFF 'FAT' THEN INTENSE TOURING. THEY ARE WORKING WITH RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE ON THE 'SPAWN' FILM SOUNTRACK AND WE MAY SEE MORE ALONG THAT LINE. MUSICALLY, I DON'T THINK THEY WILL EVOLVE GREATLY ANY MORE AS THEY HAVE FOUND THEMSELVES NOW. LIAM WILL CONTINUE TO VARY AND EXPERIMENT. WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER THREE YEARS FOR FOURTH ALBUM THOUGH. WETHER OR NOT SOLO RUMORS ARE TRUE I AM NOT YET SURE
Comments: I THINK THE PRODIGY HAVE A LONG LIFE LEFT IN THEM STILL. HOWEVER, ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END AND FOR THE PRODIGY I THINK IT WILL BE A CASE OF THEM GETTING TOO OLD TO CARRY ON. A WORST CASE SCENARIO IS IF THEY FALL OUT AND I DONT BELIEVE THIS WILL EVER HAPPEN. THE NEW ALBUM IS GOING TO BREAK RECORDS. IT HAS ALREAD HAD 500,000 COPIES ORDERED EVEN BEFORE ITS RELEASE! THATS MORE THAN 'JILTED' SOLD IN THE LAST THREE YEARS.
