This track has a strange vibe in it there is so much fuckin' energy in those beats and synths...! :shock:
When i listen to it i feel like i'm recharged,electucated or something...!

I think i'm gonna cry if i listen to it live...

The album version is better, it has two "Thunder, Thunder" parts.

nyc was imho the only gig of the whole imd-tour 2009 when they played thunder then in 2010 came some fills & the dbstp-version, which is also pretty gorgeous. love dbstp

i was at that NYC show. Thunder is my fave off IMD. Couldn't believe when they played it. Liked the extra cuts and tweaks Liam did with it.
But I also love the sh!t outta the Thunder Dubstep mix they've done. Wish there was a studio version, not just the live one.

I think Thunder Dub works better live than the original. I know some people get their knickers in a twist about it, probably because it's daring to conform to a music genre unlike their other tracks, but it's full of aggression and energy which at the end of the day is what they're all about.

Agreed, a studio version would be nice.

I'd prefer the live-only tracks to stay live-only. Basically it comes down to this; studio tunes rock more live, but live tunes can't retain their energy going back to the studio (becoming mostly instrumentals too). 'appened with Warning, 'appened with Wake the fuck up.

I would say only 'Funky Shit' kept its nuts on the album two years after the first live appearance.

Thunder is a great tune! I agree the second version lost much of the POWER of the fast beat. Anyway Liam is the king!! ;D

Btw!! Found this AWSOME remix of Thunder!! Nice ElectroHouse

The dubstep version doesn't quite conform to Dubstep; most if not all of the bass comes from the kick at the start of the bar. Dubstep tunes have almost no bass in the kick.

But yea, I agree it's pretty massive.

To be honest, I don't really like Thunder Dub. Which is odd, because I'm a huge dubstep fan. But the original is one of my favourite Prodigy tunes ever.

thunder is the shizzle my nizzle

I recently finished my remix of Thunder Dub which you can check out and download here soundcloud.com/prismsounds/the-prodigy-thunder-dub-prism

I've already put this in 'your tracks' but figure it's relevant here to. I love the original version, but I also really like the way it was flipped for the live shows, and the fact there is no studio version...
