Keith Flint was a very intelligent, astute, articulate and above all down to earth guy - apart from all his huge creative abilities. RIP Keith - sorry you left us.
dave berry - I knew some people who him ‘back in the day’, and the phrase ‘a really nice guy’ was said many times. It was a testament to his character he never became arrogant or precious.
RIP Keith. You fucking legend. I was heavily involved in the UK rave scene in the early 90s and was so lucky to see Prodigy roughly 15 times. Thanks for making it so special, you are ingrained in an entire generations memories and you will Not be forgotten. I hope you're at peace now, only the good die young.
People dont seem to remember the door staff being a bit more lenient in those days!!! My mates where his og light technicians the stories where ace!!! The shows even better top one nice one the sounds arnt distorted!! If your names not down who has you reported!!!
Your not wrong with anything you have written. I was blessed with seeing the Prodigy a very similar number of times and they never ever failed to deliver, every single time. It was a sad sad day when we lost Keith as I genuinely believe that the Prodigy will never be the same ever again. They can't be as he was such a focal point of their performance, he made them at any live performance who they were.
Keith comes across as a very gentle, thoughtful man - much different than his stage persona. I would like to have met him, have a beer, talk a bit. So sorry he is gone. From a 67-year old who discovered The Prodigy twenty years ago...
I met him at the height of his fame as a nervous 14 year old. He was walking around a music festival, he took the time to sign my shorts, have a laugh with me and he came across as nothing but a thoroughly decent human being.
Bless you mate. 'One of us'.....fighting for the right to dance and rave until sunrise. Our generation. I'm 45 next saturday but still 18 in mind,heart and soul......1992.......The Prodigy Experience is what started it all for me and many many others and still sounds so so fresh in 2019.......Go find that race in outta space.....Hope you've found you're peace on the other side(and your brain in the other dimension. Could you please see if mine and 'a few odd' thousands of my fellow original ravin crews brains are there too mate???? Probably still out in a field somewhere but have a butchers anyway fella. Nice 1 Top 1 Get sorrrted!!!!

Started listening to the prodigy because of my parents, mainly my mum when I was about 5 years old. I’m 27 now and still hooked. My mum was devastated when Keith took his own life. And I always said that once I’ve earnt enough money I would buy her and myself and ticket and see the prodigy in concert live that’s always what wanted to do: it’s one of them life goes on! And Keith was the most amazing musician and he’s given me so many memories with my parents I will never forget because of his music with the prodigy.
I love this. I saw a few Prodigy gigs in '97 and '98, I guess you would have been very young, and I just love that their music and the essence of them still shines through the generations.
RIP Keith Flint, I’m a 44 year old Raver, I still love the music to this day. I’ve seen the Prodigy live 5 times, definitely the best act I’ve seen live. The first time I saw them live was in 1991 at Shelley’s nightclub in Stoke-on-Trent, it was an amazing night. Rest in Peace Keith, you’re an Icon of our time.
i was raving with prodigy in 1992 in a south london warehouse pilled up to my eyeballs. I was only 14 at the time and shouldnt of been there but it changed my life. RIP Keith will always love u.
I'd love to sit down with you and have a pint and listen to all the amazing stories you'd probably have experienced I am a decade too young to have partaken in the nineties rave scene unfortunately. I still blame my parents for not getting it on in time
What a special individual Keith was. Very well spoken, passionate about what he did. Just a bloody nice bloke. Prodigy is a massive part of my younger years. Some of the best memories I'll ever have thanks to you guys. RIP fella. You're so missed.
Here is the list of all the songs, following the same order as these appear throughout in the interview: The Prodigy - Rip Up The Sound System The Prodigy - Everybody in the place SL2 - On A Ragga Tip Rez - Underworld SL2 - Dj's take control The Bouncer - Kicks Like A Mule The Prodigy - Fire Liquid - Sweet Harmony In the end of the clip Rez - Underworld plays once more Thumb it so others can hear these classic tunes !! Thank me later !.. or now ..
One of the only musician deaths that I feel has had a big impact on me, so sad, what a lovely bloke and an absolute rave legend. Rave In Peace brother.
+Steve Atkinson I saw them at the 1st tribal gathering, somebody got on stage and punched him in the face - not sure that's a story he'd enjoy telling ;-)
This day comes with great sadness. I was just introducing my 4 year old to some of the old tracks yesterday. And she was dancing around the house. And less then 24 hours later he is gone. R.I.P. Keith.
1992... back of a bus sharing headphones with my pal...13 years old listening to the experience for the 1st time. Mind blown. Props to the prodigy and xl records. Both making music that changed my life. Next 15 years was just colour and sound. Much love and rip Keith. You were too young brother x
Just LOVE the prodigy and Keith flint !!! My fave act ever. I really miss those rave days and the whole culture of " like minded just out for the music and to be free" attitude! Everybody felt as one , in it together , real good happy days! so far away from the plastic, consumer driven, bullshit, show off, look at my swag, culture of "I got more of everything than you" we got now. Soulless music, zero creativity, everyone hates everyone else. It's the opposite, people go out and hate on each other, drugs now are to get low, not high! Music is beyond mindless shite! No morals, no freedom ,man hope this shitty era passes soon lol
+Josef Mandel I know what you mean. Some ppl openly brag about selling drugs and then immediately leaving. It takes me a lot of willpower to not punch them in the throat. SMH.
He will be greatly missed, such a performer. You have brought me and so many friends such great memories with your music. R.i.P and I hope you’re raving in the sky I know what tunes il be listening to today x
Not only was he a pioneer for all thing's rave but he was also a gifted dancer, singer, talented motor bike racer, horse man, pub landlord, marathon runner, building renovator, compassionate, all round top geezer & the list goes on. What an incredible bloke & we sadly won't see the likes of him again. Countless hearts are broken , hope he knew how much he was loved. Rave on Keith, thanks for the music.
This guy basically defined a lot of who I want to be. A free-spirited punk who does wtf he wants! His legend is set in stone. He was the last true face of punk. RIP brother. You are missed.
I was a metal head who knew all the hip hop of the day too ....EVERYBODY was listening to Prodigy EVERYBODY the jocks Stoners grunge kids even the fucking gothic crowd
rest in power Keith - thanks for being one of most raw underground figures to ever break through to the mainstream and still stay true, we will always remember you.
@@druidofthefang a lot of my people have never heard of him, hell even the genre, ask any of your black friends and see what they say, come back and tell me I'm right just as u are race shouldn't matter friend, have a great day!!
RUHE IN FRIEDEN KEITH DU BIST VIEL ZU FRUH VON UNS GEGANGEN. DANKE FUR DEINE MUSIK ES WAR DIE MUSIK MEINER JUGEND UND ES WAR GEIL. WIR SEHEN UNS EINES TAGES AUF DER ANDEREN SEITE .
One of the only few that managed to take the underground rave scene into the commercial level.. R.I.P Keith 🙏🏻 Prodigy music still lives on, along side many other legends.. Got to big up XL recordings, massive love for this label 👊🏻
I love people talking about the Early Rave scene with such fondness. I left School in 92' And went straight into Pill's and Ratpack, Clarkee and Slipmatt.... Amazing times. I went to a "Rave" a couple of years ago and it was cheese and Chav's. Then i realised although the Music was good in the Old days it was all about the Spirit and lifestyle....
R.I.P KEITH FLINT THANKS FOR INSPIRING US RAVERS ALL THESE YEARS SINCE THE DAWN OF THE UNDERGROUND! YOU WERE YOU ARE AND YOU ALWAYS BE AN AMAZING BRILLIANT RAVE PRODIGY !!
Oh man, I was absolutely devastated when I heard the news when Keith had passed. He was such an amazing soul. I saw Prodigy live in the early days and Keith was like a hero to me. I get so painfully said when I hear that people have taken their own lives. We just never know what others are going through. It really hurts my soul. RIP Keith 🙏
The world's gonna miss his wild energy. Genuinely nice guy, no ego, lovely to see tributes from around the world pouring in. Desperately sad he felt he had to end it like this. RIP Keith
Oh Keith Flint, you break my heart because you are so honest and authentic and the World FOREVER needs genuine folk like you, but I honour and respect your choices for yourself 🙏 it's JUST so devastating and sad - sleep sweetly you Angel, gone way too soon... Blessed be to You and Your loved ones and kith & kin... Respect always, missed always 🙏💓🌟 the World needs authentically and truth and you shared that without guile in spades! RIP good man 🙏✌️🌻
Im 45 now. I was one of the first ravers and loved every free party in old factories. Raves in the cave. Best days off my life. I remember my walls where covered in flyers :)
Really wish this was a podcast, like 2 hours long, really felt inspired by Keith and will always cherish what he did in the 90’s, mixing rave with hip-hop, and punk. Created a completely new energy. Early inspiration for a young raver, from watching the firestarter music video when I was 6, to the warehouse Rave ridden ‘no good’ music video.
So gutted he's gone, I was there in the start 89-93ish what a time to be a teen-ager,it was movement which I doubt will happen again.for a brief moment we thought we'd inherited the world.✌️👍
Noname 1st I literally missed this by a couple of years. Gutted I didnt experience the "illegal" raves. I had a video of the book of love from 1992 and always wished I could have experienced that. Amazing man. If only the respect from all of his fans could have convinced him to stay with us.
we fkn took it. we stopped being told and we forged a new path. we just loved while governments hated and they went to war on freedom in the shadows. always the opportunity kids. ✊
10:47 I love how keith pauses for a brief moment and says "multimedia" instead of "social media", no doubt his brain was thinking of encyclopedia encarta '95. This man is the 1990s personified, and a true legend.
I was proud to have been part of the movement, it was underground, a reality that was shared and loved by our group, it was exciting and for me it all began at the eclipse in cov. The prodigy were dancing at raves too then went on to live their dream. RIP keith. X
'88 till 93 - 94. Every weekend banging it! Magic times doesn't come close to describe. It was ineffable. Those who were there know. The shadows of the magic remains in the Heavenly music left for posterity.
Nothing will ever happen like that again. I’m just glad I was part of it. Nothing happens in secret any more. Kids would need to leave social media and make the sharing of movements like this more organic. People were experimenting with music because of computers and new technology. It’s limitations made it more creative. Now we have entire studios in a laptop. Feels like so long ago but best time of my life.
edstone147 so true... these social media junkies would never keep the location a secret like we used to, the cops would prob be there before them now lol aaahhh the good old days
It does still happen. There's a thriving free party scene that's more underground in London and the teknivals in Europe. Also, live hardware sets and mixing on vinyl and tunes made not just on a laptop 👍 it's still going... You just have to find the good side of it all amongst a lot of shit.
Rave + tiny bit Punk + tiny bit of Rock + some HipHop + much (Trance) Techno all of that with sometimes a bit of Reggae? ... Seems "totally insane" (or impossible) yet The Prodigy did it! ... What some people don’t know is that Keith was a truly nice, gentle and polite human being. His stage persona was unique because he channeled his aggression and passion and let all out on stage. He is one of the true greats ... RIP Keith Flint
A genius has left us, a jilted generation without ignitor... Raved onto the Prodigy, SL2 n so on. Am so proud to have lived these ravin' years, fuckin' massive. We'll miss u Mr Keith. RIP bro.
I rarely get sad when celebrities die.... but I'm upset over Keith. He was one of us, he had a gift and was a beautiful soul. Stayed rooted and didn't let fame turn him into an arse.
Those were the days when you were steaming at 2am and made friends with complete strangers no fear of getting stabbed or acid thrown in your face. Everyone lived for the weekend and we're brought together by the music gos I miss the early 90's. Now I feel like an old man reminising about my teen years. I feel sorry for my 6 year old growing up with shite music and living in a boring world.
music is better now than it's ever been. you're just old and not seeking it out. by your same assessment of today's music, music from the early 90's was Milli Vanilli, Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch, etc ... my point is that radio music has always been shit and was actually shittier in the early 90's than it is now. They weren't playing The Prodigy, Acen, Ellis Dee, E-Type, etc on the radio. SL2 maybe a little, but let's all be honest, On a Ragga Tip was a shit song none of us ever looked forward to hearing at a rave.
Mark Mark I agree. Our children will never experience this sense of 'community' within the raves. As time has gone on the only place close to this is 'gay town' or pride. A total sense of respect and love for one another. And feeling safe on a night out. The real rave scene has disappeared 😔
@@gregj6648 He wasn't just talking about the music but about the experience as a whole. Hard to explain to anyone who wasn't around back then, it was AWESOME.
The rave scene was the last true underground, counter culture - and nothing like it can happen anytime soon.. if anything like it were to come around, the yupsters will be snap chatting and live streaming the whole thing, and it would be dead by next weekend
Not the way it is portrayed nowadays. Same goes for Dubstep. When I saw dubstep people usually think Rusko, Skrillex, and other artists that popularized it. When I say dubstep I am talking about actual reggae inspired bass music.
@@chemtrail2269 but what your talking about is called two step which is what reggae bass music is know as.dubstep was created by Benga and skream in a records store in London in the early 2000.reggae has never been known as dubstep
I immigrated to Australia in 92 form Europe. I start to play semi professional football (soccer). In 95 one night my cousin who was a few years older drove me to practice and was playing ultrasonic obsession in his car. I just feel in love I called him the next day and begged him for the tape so he recoreded the tape and gave it to me. I listened to that tape on my walkman over 1000 times in 96 at the age of 13 attended my first rave. I remember being in line in front a warehouse hearing the music thumping as I walked in felt i like in was in wonderland. My music tastes went from hardcore to pure techno and haven't changed since. Rave scene for me was freedom. At 36 my career/life/ kid is in full effect but after a stressful week i love nothing more than play some techno close my eyes and teleport myself to a warehouse. Rave scene at it's peak was incredible and I'm grateful that I experanced it. RIP KEITH
If you have ever had the pleasure of watching these people live. From start to finish a true experience. Never again we will see a band quite like the prodigy. Prodigy by name. Prodigy by nature. You are what wet gerny dreams are made of.
Will never go back to these glory days. how sad once the the corporate devils got their hands on this music the whole scene went to shit (2002 and beyond)
2002????? The scene was slowly getting raped from 88. Once the government made laws to stop it the gangsters and chancers had licence to print money! 92 onwards......speed up that decline,more rip offs,hike up prices,everyone's a DJ/promoter,drugs get shit/cut,the love goes and the vibe gets dark,the parties ain't the same=the powers that be win! Facts are if you went after 91 you did probably miss out on the best of times! But like Keith said you will still believe you had/have it good-which is cool but just so,so wrong 😜
I have to disagree with a lot of that you said there fella,I grew up in the same area as Keith,used to see them out and gigged along side them in Essex in the early days before they were signed to XL.Where we went out in Essex it was cheap,no rip offs and excellent clubs and excellent pills until late 92 /93 then it started to fade big time.Once Raving went mainstream because of the likes of Pete Tong promoting his DJ mates it was over and corporate Raving came in with the big superclub crap like Renaissance ,Club UK etc etc. I did the whole House scene from 86 onwards,onto Acid House/Summer of Love then Raving until 93 ,it was without doubt an amazing time,almost spiritual sometimes being in a room with hundreds of people smiling and laughing.A very special time,and in my opinion the last great British youth movement.
+Tim Smith mid 94 was the turning point when hardcore went to shite 4 beat and jungle took over more. I was a junglist to but I was a raver foremost. we raved until 2001 . went to a heavy night sanctuary in 2000 ending at 6am with pilgrim upstairs in the sanctuary and at Leicester uni in 2001 where dougal played a blinding 91/92 set and vibes came with full sl2 squad and lime played to!
Coming outside into the 4am morning chill wet through with sweat and ceiling drips and steam pouring off you! 1987/1988 acid & Detroit house music warehouse days! The futures kids will never get to feel what we felt during those times.
Tantrum Desire you missed my point! There was nothing before like it..it was new...exciting..30 years on its not a new thing to today's kids. No offence but your coming into a scene & experience that's will never be like it was back then :)
I am so glad to have been a part of this scene. It was truly ground breaking, a new thing, subculture - I like a strong enough vocabulary to describe what it was like. I truly miss it. I found The Prodigy in 1991 and became an addict to their music, always asking DJ's to play them. RIP Keith. You are missed.
The Prodigy have been apart of so many peoples lives growing up. Memories that positively shaped us. Their awesomeness has never faded and never will. Thank you for being a part of me Keith
1992: The raves and MTV party zone was the best. Just epic stuff! I never did any drugs, but I got pretty drunk. Just dancing and making love to complete strangers, till the sun went up. Never any fighting or violence. Just pure happiness. Come 2018: The raves are gone, the magic is gone, and well, MTV isn't MTV anymore. The youths of today sit at home, isolated, playing video games, flipping pictures on tinder or watching porn. Jesus Christ what has the world come to. Anyway thanx Prodigy and XL for 'Prodigy Experience' one of the best albums ever❤️
CHRISTIAN Lowensprung the mtv parties with the bowls of coke and the gazillion bottles of champagne, I used to just get drunk and go find a "quiet" corner and go to sleep it was too mental for me lol

How could so many people dislike this video? Keith was humble and kind. And one hell of a firestarter.
"took some acid, took some ecstasy, and never looked back."
i have nothing to add to this.
"the show was also driven by the drug" as we can see now we have less power on their shows due to keith....that drop drugs :(

Just LOVE the prodigy and Keith flint !!! My fave act ever. I really miss those rave days and the whole culture of " like minded just out for the music and to be free" attitude! Everybody felt as one , in it together , real good happy days! so far away from the plastic, consumer driven, bullshit, show off, look at my swag, culture of "I got more of everything than you" we got now. Soulless music, zero creativity, everyone hates everyone else. It's the opposite, people go out and hate on each other, drugs now are to get low, not high! Music is beyond mindless shite! No morals, no freedom ,man hope this shitty era passes soon lol
+Josef Mandel I know what you mean. Some ppl openly brag about selling drugs and then immediately leaving. It takes me a lot of willpower to not punch them in the throat. SMH.
The air we breathed was different back then,it was filled with electricity,the atmosphere came with a feeling and I'm so lucky we got to experience it
Me too, well put...
+Jazzy more innocent
too right dude. The thing to do now is go to gigs, not clubs.
He will be greatly missed, such a performer.
You have brought me and so many friends such great memories with your music.
R.i.P and I hope you’re raving in the sky
I know what tunes il be listening to today x
Not only was he a pioneer for all thing's rave but he was also a gifted dancer, singer, talented motor bike racer, horse man, pub landlord, marathon runner, building renovator, compassionate, all round top geezer & the list goes on. What an incredible bloke & we sadly won't see the likes of him again. Countless hearts are broken , hope he knew how much he was loved. Rave on Keith, thanks for the music.
He was a good dancer but no where near as good as Leroy .....Leroy taught him how to dance in the first place lol
This guy basically defined a lot of who I want to be. A free-spirited punk who does wtf he wants! His legend is set in stone. He was the last true face of punk. RIP brother. You are missed.
Such a chill dude. But when he's on stage, he's an absolute monster!
OrangeNBlue
Indeed. On stage he is on f'n fire. Wow.
I was a big hip hop head in the 90s and we all loved Prodigy RIP brother Legend
it was kinda unique thing that pulled together all the different masses
I was a metal head who knew all the hip hop of the day too ....EVERYBODY was listening to Prodigy EVERYBODY the jocks Stoners grunge kids even the fucking gothic crowd
Same!!!
@indigo_blue I'm black
Liam was originally a DJ for a hip hop group, and his influence was heavily break beat hip hop and funk.
rest in power Keith - thanks for being one of most raw underground figures to ever break through to the mainstream and still stay true, we will always remember you.
Thanks XL
Thanks The Prodigy experience 1992 for making me a loving Happy grateful lad .
Keith flint RiP (Raving In Paradise)
My teenage years can be summed up as listening to the prodigy. Awesome.
RIP KEITH FLINT!! From a black man from Martinsville, Virginia you'll be missed!!
Music see's no color my brother. Black, white & in between we can unite and dance our lives away. R.I.P Keith !
what does it matter if you are black? :D
@@druidofthefang a lot of my people have never heard of him, hell even the genre, ask any of your black friends and see what they say, come back and tell me I'm right just as u are race shouldn't matter friend, have a great day!!
Vee Aye That’s astonishing. On a UK news channel YT account a guy wrote The Prodigy was quite popular within the Black community (UK or US)
@@davidnavarro4821 cool
Prodigy was the idols of my type of people in my generation. Its a worldwide thing! Phenomenon! Huge respect for these guys inspiring generations!
I grew up listening to The Prodigy and his voice, his passion got me through my hardest times in high school. RIP Keith, you're a legend!
My life would be so dark without The Prodigy! What a legend! :'(
I wish the world could of given him as much happiness as he gave it, awesome chap, awesome band - The Prodigy Lives Forever. Rest in Peace Keith.
R.I.P Mr Flint....grew up form day one with the Birth of The Prodigy into the scene....you will be forever missed brother...
RUHE IN FRIEDEN KEITH DU BIST VIEL ZU FRUH VON UNS GEGANGEN. DANKE FUR DEINE MUSIK ES WAR DIE MUSIK MEINER JUGEND UND ES WAR GEIL. WIR SEHEN UNS EINES TAGES AUF DER ANDEREN SEITE .
He shaped my childhood in such a major way I’ll never forget that Keith , thank you for all the memories Rave in Peace ✌🏻😥🙏🏼
One of the only few that managed to take the underground rave scene into the commercial level.. R.I.P Keith 🙏🏻
Prodigy music still lives on, along side many other legends..
Got to big up XL recordings, massive love for this label 👊🏻
RIP Keith Flint (September 17, 1969 - March 4, 2019), aged 49
You will always be remembered as a legend.
I love people talking about the Early Rave scene with such fondness. I left School in 92' And went straight into Pill's and Ratpack, Clarkee and Slipmatt.... Amazing times. I went to a "Rave" a couple of years ago and it was cheese and Chav's. Then i realised although the Music was good in the Old days it was all about the Spirit and lifestyle....
I love you so much Keith. I'm stunned and speechless. I'll catch you at the next all nighter on the other side, rest easy brother.
R.I.P KEITH FLINT THANKS FOR INSPIRING US RAVERS ALL THESE YEARS SINCE THE DAWN OF THE UNDERGROUND! YOU WERE YOU ARE AND YOU ALWAYS BE AN AMAZING BRILLIANT RAVE PRODIGY !!
Oh man, I was absolutely devastated when I heard the news when Keith had passed.
He was such an amazing soul. I saw Prodigy live in the early days and Keith was like a hero to me.
I get so painfully said when I hear that people have taken their own lives. We just never know what others are going through.
It really hurts my soul.
RIP Keith 🙏
Last show this week army of the ants. Tribute for keith just amazing with the ray man. Thx Liam and max. We live forever.
What beautiful soul...he will be dearly missed
The world's gonna miss his wild energy. Genuinely nice guy, no ego, lovely to see tributes from around the world pouring in. Desperately sad he felt he had to end it like this. RIP Keith
Very said news, but at least he lived it large and real...much respect! RIP
So bummed out by the news
RIP Keith Flint! Another legend leaves town
Oh Keith Flint, you break my heart because you are so honest and authentic and the World FOREVER needs genuine folk like you, but I honour and respect your choices for yourself 🙏 it's JUST so devastating and sad - sleep sweetly you Angel, gone way too soon... Blessed be to You and Your loved ones and kith & kin... Respect always, missed always 🙏💓🌟 the World needs authentically and truth and you shared that without guile in spades! RIP good man 🙏✌️🌻
Im 45 now. I was one of the first ravers and loved every free party in old factories. Raves in the cave. Best days off my life. I remember my walls where covered in flyers :)
Really wish this was a podcast, like 2 hours long, really felt inspired by Keith and will always cherish what he did in the 90’s, mixing rave with hip-hop, and punk. Created a completely new energy. Early inspiration for a young raver, from watching the firestarter music video when I was 6, to the warehouse Rave ridden ‘no good’ music video.
So gutted he's gone, I was there in the start 89-93ish what a time to be a teen-ager,it was movement which I doubt will happen again.for a brief moment we thought we'd inherited the world.✌️👍
Noname 1st I literally missed this by a couple of years. Gutted I didnt experience the "illegal" raves. I had a video of the book of love from 1992 and always wished I could have experienced that. Amazing man. If only the respect from all of his fans could have convinced him to stay with us.
we fkn took it. we stopped being told and we forged a new path. we just loved while governments hated and they went to war on freedom in the shadows. always the opportunity kids. ✊
10:47 I love how keith pauses for a brief moment and says "multimedia" instead of "social media", no doubt his brain was thinking of encyclopedia encarta '95. This man is the 1990s personified, and a true legend.
Matthew Bevan I thought exactly the same
lol
Matthew Bevan 😂😂😂
His candle burned bright. Lived more than 10 men.
So true.
They were the days. I have never been happier.
Rest in peace Keith. Your contribution to music will never be forgotten. We miss you!
I was proud to have been part of the movement, it was underground, a reality that was shared and loved by our group, it was exciting and for me it all began at the eclipse in cov. The prodigy were dancing at raves too then went on to live their dream. RIP keith. X
Forgot how stunningly beautiful he was . Never forgotten. I hope he has found his peace ☮️ xxxx
Did Essex proud. Dance among the stars, you beautiful man 🐜
I lived through this time...totally amazing..prodigy were so fresh then...so much energy...still luv them today!
You'll be missed Keith. Your dancing and vocals will be forever remembered.
'88 till 93 - 94. Every weekend banging it! Magic times doesn't come close to describe. It was ineffable. Those who were there know. The shadows of the magic remains in the Heavenly music left for posterity.
Amen to that brother!
hyped all week , hyped all weekend, locked in your room Sunday afternoon not feeling too great!
Robert Lund Sundays were for, dire train journeys home, bed, cramp and snoring til the evening come. Then a few goes on the SLs
Citronics for me
Beautifully put sir.
Saw Prodigy twice in the 90's and they were incredible...they really did play a rave for 2 hours...RIP Keith
Nothing will ever happen like that again. I’m just glad I was part of it. Nothing happens in secret any more. Kids would need to leave social media and make the sharing of movements like this more organic. People were experimenting with music because of computers and new technology. It’s limitations made it more creative. Now we have entire studios in a laptop. Feels like so long ago but best time of my life.
edstone147 so true... these social media junkies would never keep the location a secret like we used to, the cops would prob be there before them now lol aaahhh the good old days
It does still happen. There's a thriving free party scene that's more underground in London and the teknivals in Europe. Also, live hardware sets and mixing on vinyl and tunes made not just on a laptop 👍 it's still going... You just have to find the good side of it all amongst a lot of shit.
Rave + tiny bit Punk + tiny bit of Rock + some HipHop + much (Trance) Techno all of that with sometimes a bit of Reggae? ... Seems "totally insane" (or impossible) yet The Prodigy did it! ... What some people don’t know is that Keith was a truly nice, gentle and polite human being. His stage persona was unique because he channeled his aggression and passion and let all out on stage. He is one of the true greats ... RIP Keith Flint
beautifully put
A genius has left us, a jilted generation without ignitor... Raved onto the Prodigy, SL2 n so on. Am so proud to have lived these ravin' years, fuckin' massive. We'll miss u Mr Keith. RIP bro.
Rest in peace Keith. I remember the Prodigy and Foo Fighters gig. Stuck with me all these years later. Amazing times.
RIP Kieth your a true rave legend
Wow, he looked great in 2014. So sad that he lost it to depression. RIP man!
People can put a smile on through depression. You never really know what's going on in a person's mind. People become experts at putting on the mask.
@@davidhorman5836 You got that right. Damn that's tough.
Maybe he wasn't depressed
I rarely get sad when celebrities die.... but I'm upset over Keith. He was one of us, he had a gift and was a beautiful soul. Stayed rooted and didn't let fame turn him into an arse.
Great times, from a 56 year old who found the music i had been waiting for all my earlier life. God bless you Keith Flint.
when i was a kid, i used to be so scared of keith but now he looks like a chill awesome dad with piercings
fox so true
hes so cute
Scared? you fucking mug
Yeah me too When i was like 12
-13. Im 32 now! I was scared when i saw him on mtv singin im a fire starter in that dark tunnel haha.
agree!)
Will never forget The Prodigy playing Charlie live at the Eclipse back in 91......fucking awesome
Those were the days when you were steaming at 2am and made friends with complete strangers no fear of getting stabbed or acid thrown in your face. Everyone lived for the weekend and we're brought together by the music gos I miss the early 90's. Now I feel like an old man reminising about my teen years. I feel sorry for my 6 year old growing up with shite music and living in a boring world.
Hopefully your 6 year old will be educated like my 3 year old and in ten years a revolution will start in feel good music. Let them lead the way.
music is better now than it's ever been. you're just old and not seeking it out. by your same assessment of today's music, music from the early 90's was Milli Vanilli, Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch, etc ... my point is that radio music has always been shit and was actually shittier in the early 90's than it is now. They weren't playing The Prodigy, Acen, Ellis Dee, E-Type, etc on the radio. SL2 maybe a little, but let's all be honest, On a Ragga Tip was a shit song none of us ever looked forward to hearing at a rave.
Mark Mark I agree. Our children will never experience this sense of 'community' within the raves. As time has gone on the only place close to this is 'gay town' or pride. A total sense of respect and love for one another. And feeling safe on a night out. The real rave scene has disappeared 😔
@@gregj6648 He wasn't just talking about the music but about the experience as a whole. Hard to explain to anyone who wasn't around back then, it was AWESOME.
The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long... RIP brother x
Keith Flint. The Legend. Your memory will lbe loved and will be FOREVER
The rave scene was the last true underground, counter culture - and nothing like it can happen anytime soon.. if anything like it were to come around, the yupsters will be snap chatting and live streaming the whole thing, and it would be dead by next weekend
Tru dat 🙃
There would have to be a no phones allowed policy.
@@wafflestoast5228 there exist plenty of mad underground clubs which have this policy right now
just because you dont know about them, does not mean there is nothing like it.
In the US, the country has lost the love for one another. It won't happen again anytime soon here.
These guys have the heart and soul that edm djs are missing
CHEM TRAIL the prodigy is still Edm you know
"Electronic dance music"
Not the way it is portrayed nowadays. Same goes for Dubstep. When I saw dubstep people usually think Rusko, Skrillex, and other artists that popularized it. When I say dubstep I am talking about actual reggae inspired bass music.
Most of them are not dj's, they can't dj and they don't dj live.
Completely true
@@chemtrail2269 but what your talking about is called two step which is what reggae bass music is know as.dubstep was created by Benga and skream in a records store in London in the early 2000.reggae has never been known as dubstep
R.I.P Flint! Thanks for your music. Rock on!
I immigrated to Australia in 92 form Europe. I start to play semi professional football (soccer). In 95 one night my cousin who was a few years older drove me to practice and was playing ultrasonic obsession in his car. I just feel in love I called him the next day and begged him for the tape so he recoreded the tape and gave it to me. I listened to that tape on my walkman over 1000 times in 96 at the age of 13 attended my first rave. I remember being in line in front a warehouse hearing the music thumping as I walked in felt i like in was in wonderland. My music tastes went from hardcore to pure techno and haven't changed since. Rave scene for me was freedom. At 36 my career/life/ kid is in full effect but after a stressful week i love nothing more than play some techno close my eyes and teleport myself to a warehouse.
Rave scene at it's peak was incredible and I'm grateful that I experanced it.
RIP KEITH
If you have ever had the pleasure of watching these people live. From start to finish a true experience. Never again we will see a band quite like the prodigy. Prodigy by name. Prodigy by nature. You are what wet gerny dreams are made of.
R.I.P Keith Flint! You will forever be raving in our hearts!
Will never go back to these glory days. how sad
once the the corporate devils got their hands on this music the whole scene went to shit (2002 and beyond)
2002????? The scene was slowly getting raped from 88. Once the government made laws to stop it the gangsters and chancers had licence to print money! 92 onwards......speed up that decline,more rip offs,hike up prices,everyone's a DJ/promoter,drugs get shit/cut,the love goes and the vibe gets dark,the parties ain't the same=the powers that be win! Facts are if you went after 91 you did probably miss out on the best of times! But like Keith said you will still believe you had/have it good-which is cool but just so,so wrong 😜
I have to disagree with a lot of that you said there fella,I grew up in the same area as Keith,used to see them out and gigged along side them in Essex in the early days before they were signed to XL.Where we went out in Essex it was cheap,no rip offs and excellent clubs and excellent pills until late 92 /93 then it started to fade big time.Once Raving went mainstream because of the likes of Pete Tong promoting his DJ mates it was over and corporate Raving came in with the big superclub crap like Renaissance ,Club UK etc etc.
I did the whole House scene from 86 onwards,onto Acid House/Summer of Love then Raving until 93 ,it was without doubt an amazing time,almost spiritual sometimes being in a room with hundreds of people smiling and laughing.A very special time,and in my opinion the last great British youth movement.
+Tim Smith mid 94 was the turning point when hardcore went to shite 4 beat and jungle took over more. I was a junglist to but I was a raver foremost. we raved until 2001 . went to a heavy night sanctuary in 2000 ending at 6am with pilgrim upstairs in the sanctuary and at Leicester uni in 2001 where dougal played a blinding 91/92 set and vibes came with full sl2 squad and lime played to!
Tim Smith
In America, it was the last great youth movement too. I had high hopes for the future.
Then it just started getting darker and darker.
The GreatOne what like ibiza? Ibiza never really appealed to me after raving in a warehouse under some railway arches.
Coming outside into the 4am morning chill wet through with sweat and ceiling drips and steam pouring off you! 1987/1988 acid & Detroit house music warehouse days! The futures kids will never get to feel what we felt during those times.
Tantrum Desire you missed my point! There was nothing before like it..it was new...exciting..30 years on its not a new thing to today's kids. No offence but your coming into a scene & experience that's will never be like it was back then :)
until better future drugs are invented
Detroit raves were good till 2002. You just feel that love and everyone was kind and respectful.
Everything but detroit and house music, LDN is where it was at
Thank fuck for that! It wasnt big or clever haha
I just love this interview with Keith. Thanks for sharing it. Too sad he s no longer with us. 😔❤️
I am so glad to have been a part of this scene. It was truly ground breaking, a new thing, subculture - I like a strong enough vocabulary to describe what it was like. I truly miss it. I found The Prodigy in 1991 and became an addict to their music, always asking DJ's to play them. RIP Keith. You are missed.
You will always be remembered Keith as one of the most powerful voices in music.
Absolute legend, Raindance & Labyrinth were proper grimy underground raves never had such a great time since those days, RIP Keith Flint .
I would love to have met Keith Flint.
The Prodigy have been apart of so many peoples lives growing up. Memories that positively shaped us. Their awesomeness has never faded and never will. Thank you for being a part of me Keith
Good to see Keith original raver I remember it well happy memories....R.I.P Brother!!! 🙏
1992: The raves and MTV party zone was the best. Just epic stuff! I never did any drugs, but I got pretty drunk. Just dancing and making love to complete strangers, till the sun went up. Never any fighting or violence. Just pure happiness. Come 2018: The raves are gone, the magic is gone, and well, MTV isn't MTV anymore. The youths of today sit at home, isolated, playing video games, flipping pictures on tinder or watching porn. Jesus Christ what has the world come to. Anyway thanx Prodigy and XL for 'Prodigy Experience' one of the best albums ever❤️
CHRISTIAN Lowensprung the mtv parties with the bowls of coke and the gazillion bottles of champagne, I used to just get drunk and go find a "quiet" corner and go to sleep it was too mental for me lol
42 now I just caught the tail end of Ravi g,97 onwards,happiest days of my life🤜🤛duble dip doves!
RiP Keith thanks for some mad times Respect
Thanks for a video , Keith such a legend. Great interview
Ive watched this 3 times in a row.. im delighted to say i have all but one of these tracks.. RIP Keef....
