I would say that that interviewer should be fired wasn't it for that maybe that poor girl had been just pushed to do that by the other "onet" fuckers lacking even the balls to betray THEIR own utter ignorance on the subject in front of the camera.

I mean why is it always the case in Poland that the journalists that do The Prodigy are so stupidly, annoyingly ignorant?

Had she (or them) read or seen at least one decent interview with the boys, she wouldn't have asked SUCH pitiful questions. Asking them 'bout geopolitics and environmental changes? Come on, asking Mike Tyson details from Civil War would be less embarassing.


This is appaliing, especially given the fact that there's an entire legion of die-hard fans in this country, one and all of them ready to ask the never asked. Instead, we've got cliche crap all over again and the band driven to balancing between embarrasment and anger as they mutter forced answers to redundant questions. This is regrettable, particularly given that the gig (which happened beforehand I believe) went off so properly.

in these 5 minutes one could have asked such questions:

- Not only is your light show unearthly, but it also seems to individually follow the vibe and twists&turns of each song in a very close manner. It's a killer of its own kind that stands alongside the musical layer. Do you plan these ferocious effects yourselves? Or how far does your influence over the choice and the use of the lights reach? From which species of aliens have you stolen or borrowed that rig?

- Nasty contains a line 'I ain't no tourist'. Isn't it an ironic response to all the ignorant journalists asking you to describe how you enjoy the attractions/history of a given country as though you were sightseers? Why is it so that they don't understand that human beings doing 120 gigs per years basically enter the exhausting cycle of shows, recovering in hotels and sleeping each day in a different place whilst constant travelling?

- The day is your enemy, the night is your friend. But how do you feel about the dawn phase of the day that had crept in in the middle of your show? Does playing so late (or so early...) anyhow count to the vibe?

- You played a brand new track, ROTE. In your minds, has it gone off well?

- Maxim, you addressed the fainted with a few lines. Throughout your show, numerous people tend to administer themselves such portion of hyperactivity they cannot physically stand. Have you ever thought how it feels like to be on the other side of the barrier?

And I'd put on stake my ticket to their next show that if anyone had cared to ask this type of questions we'd have been given way more exhaustive and honest replies.

she asks Keith what are the most mad things that happened to him, or the most mad town he's been to. to which he answers: "anything that needs remembering - don't ask me"

also she asks what's up in the future, about the tour in november, to which Liam answers that Public Enemy is supporting them. but he looks unsure and asks the manager to confirm. (it isn't clear if he's truly unsure of if he's just kidding)

those were the funny bits IMO

It is sure as hell that he was just taking that girl for a ride. Obvious irony. It was still too light a punishment upon her for driving the interview pointless with stupid, irrelevant questions.

But it just proves what gentlemen they are in contact with 'normal' people, doesn't it? The worst behavior they may allow themselves to in such situations is a healthy portion of laughter in the ignorant's face.

I made a quick writedown of stuff said in the interview.
-do you remember your first show in Poland? - Keith tries to make an impression that he remembers, not trying to look smart however, it's more so he doesn't have to respond with "would you remember a show that you played 15 years ago, considering that we play fucktons of these?" Keith remembers however, that they played the current venue - Opener - in 2009.
-so, you came here to a postcommunist country in the mid-nineties, after almost 20 years, have you seen any changes in Poland? (since the first show played there?) - Keith says this part of Europe had a lot of changes, so that's true, and he swiftly changes the topic to how the crowds were always up for it, being some of the best in Europe (blah blah... well, if she didn't force Keith to put up bullshit answers...)
-what are your most bizarre experiences in Poland? - Keith says it's hard to be specific, doing hundred-something of shows in a year, it kinda rolls into one, so they can't even tell when something bizarre happens.
(while Keith is answering, Maxim and Liam are trying to avoid bursting out laughing REALLY hard)
-so what was the most mad thing, or town? - Keith points out that asking about remembering anything is pointless, and asks the interviewer to not ask him about anything that needs remembering anything (Maxim and Liam are laughing)
-so maybe (something mad/bizarre) from yesterday, or a week ago? - Keith just gives the mic to laughing Liam, who says that it's simply everything's mad for them, with small bits of everything being normal in between.
-I heard you're touring in November, what about it? Liam (quoted in full, it deserves it): "It's gonna be mad! (laughs) Yeah.. I think, we've got Public Enemy with us, youknow? (the interviewer: "Ooh-wow..") Yeah, I don't know... (turns to John Fairs out of sight, asking for confirmation) John? Public Enemy? (confirms) Yeah, so we've got Public Enemy supporting us, uh, in the Europe, on the tour, so that'll be amazing, youknow, cause, Public Enemy, I grew up with them... not literally, but like, they were on my stereo, when I was a kid, so, yeah, they were a big influence on our sound, d'youknowhatImean"

TLDR; Keith was trying really hard to not embarass the girl doing the interview, and when he noticed how there is nothing that can be done to save her, he passed the mic to Liam, who pissed all over her tour question, making it look like he needs to ask his manager to be sure that he's touring with Public Enemy.


BTW not that it matters a lot, but I think that the interview was made before the gig. Seeing how it was near 3:30-4am when they finished, and they had a Greek gig next day, it'd be the logical thing to do.

I wouldn't put it any better man. That's exactly what it was like.

As to the time of the interview: I noticed that the band's facebook account (which I believe to have recently been run by Liam himself, judging by the nature and vocab of the updates) posted up the 'rainbow tunnel' photos very shortly after the gig (which ended at 3:20am), so at about 4am, 4.07. The interview was also conducted in that very same derelict hangar. Thus I inferred that it might have taken place after the gig.

Though I might have gone wrong with this thing - and, as you've said, it hardly matters after all.

It's only a pity that amongst whole thousands of devoted and knowledgeable local fans they were made cope with a wet blanket interviewer.

Well this was pretty awkward also :lol: Keith looks tired as fuck lol.

Usually it's Liam and Keith doing the talking and now that Maxim got to answer something he just joked. Looks like they are used to this kind of bad interviewers and just make fun of them.
