TheProdigy

1. The infrequency of their releases.

2. The way they abandon some of their best live tracks so they never end up seeing the light of day.

3. Allowing their b-sides to be taken up by average remixes instead of more Prodigy songs

4. Lack of diversity in the live sets - predominantly targetting the casual fans

6. A bit too much reliance on collaborations (especially FOTL and AONO)

This is Weather Experience back at Bangladore last year



Look at this. You can see him start to mime to the beat on his 'virus' at about 1:08, but then he fucks off from it at about 1:52. Still the exact same sounds are playing.

Then at 2:22 you start to hear extra sounds he's playing from another keyboard. He later realizes how far out of tune he's in and gives up on that too.

...ah well, at least he dropped an oldie.

why the fuck would you fake playing weather experience, its not mozart and its not the 80s top of the poops That post doesn't add up, I really dont like the idea of it not being live, I don't believe it....( is this Fr Dougal McGuire talking here? ) Maybe looks like more knobs, faders and triggers he's using, But why have the virus synth if it's just for show and not to make sound, I reckon there is a delay or trigger or something. Maybe someone could ask him how he put the live version of weather together rather than making sweeping statements ?????

Forget the post, look at the vid. Nothing in the song is different from when he is and isn't hitting those keys. And he does play the extra synth bit out of key
Too much champers!

Yes i did look, and its delay , the recording is far back, showing the problem of light vs sound delay plus the guy who posted it is a knob

I didn't want to believe it either. When I first started seeing people on forums like this one talking about what Liam really does live, I just thought it was bullshit. But when you really look at these up-close videos of him behind the equipment, you just can't ignore it.
Don't get me wrong, I still think Liam is a genious with the stuff he comes up with in-studio.

purple squirrel thinks i'm a nob because i'm pointing a few things out ? there is only a very slight sync delay in the recording. and if you read my post, you would know I was only commenting on the up-close shots. Check the minute/second marks I posted and you'll see what I mean.

Fair enough, if you are right, maybe I have rose tinted glasses on, and sorry clearly you aren't a knob. If its miming then thats a bit lame and feel slightly cheated after seeing weather at WDF. Maybe someone could ask him how he plays or he triggers it, or what cos I am confused now

There's not a whole lot I dislike about Braintree's finest, but to name a few;

1. It's annoying how a LOT of live remixes never really see the light of day, more so than just being a crappy quality YouTube video of a live performance. I understand the reasoning behind Live remixes to give the dedicated fans a little unique reward for attending and also to keep things fresh, but I'd say a load of people would love a nice clean, crisp Studio version of most of them bangers! (ThunDubStep for instance!)

2. Waiting. Waiting, Waiting Waiting. They've already said a few times that once they're done showing Linkin Park how to perform, they'll be back ripping up the studio, but if I know 'Prodigy, the new album won't be for a long time. Which is fantastic and horrible at the same time, Fantastic because more time usually means better quality, but more time obviously means more waiting for an already impatience bunch of fans. To put it simply, I think they drop the 'new stuff' bomb too early.

Other than those two things, nothing I dislike about them at all, they're My favourite band, and Liam Howlett is a genius and inspiration. (And a Man Crush, too)

I cant believe its got to the point where everyone is so bored its come to picking holes in the band.....

yea, makes me sad too.
what i don't like is the lack of b-sides, the real prodigy tracks like they used to be.

what? what's so funny?

The waiting inbetween albums and recently having to put up with dodgy remixes rather than having B sides (although Mescaline is the nuts)
