Playing all the past hits is exactly what I feared would happen. This has made me lose interest unfortunately in going to the gigs. Was exciting in the 90s, new music was not far away and toured when they had new singles, new albums. Even 2000s was not bad.

Last three tours feels bit like I feel about Oasis gigging.

it's true, for me these setlist changes are too cosmetic... ok, I'm happy with the new song, I'm happy with the return of Warriors Dance, I'm happy that Breathe is not played as the opener of concerts, but these changes are still too small for my taste...

The usual fanboys will say that this new tune is a "banger", "sh*t to smash da crowds" or "pure fire bang bomb choooon for the live set, that's what they play for maaaaan"... but, as somebody pointed out, it's nothing new, nothing inspired and it's like a random track they might have done in 2002 and throw away after2 or 3 gigs


Let's face it, even though I love the band (or what's left of it) and it represents the sound of my youth, The Prodigy, musically speaking, is a thing from the past (and it's been like that for a lot of years now)

When was the last time you went to their gig yourself?

Ok , i will reply you in spanish maybe you can get it.

Tio, no he visto ningun post tuyo positivo , solo sabes quejarte , realmente te pregunto , te gusta the prodigy ? es que lo tuyo es solo quejarte y quejarte. me avergüenza que encima un español es el que solo se queja , de verdad , tio , si quieres vivir en el pasado de the prodigy adelante , pero deberias entender que ellos quiere evolucionar asi , te gusta o no , pero deja ya de quejarte que eres muy cansino.

un abrazo

Yet if Liam dropped a limited edition Fight! 7 inch tomorrow, you'd be whining if you missed out on getting a copy.

The funny thing is that I partially agree with you, somehow, but the question now is: why do go on moaning if you don't like them anymore now.
The '90s production remains untouchable and incomparable. This is true.
As it first came out, I was totally disappointed by the release of AONO, but then it probably became the main inspiration for my music and I still love it. It reminds me of my full youth and how do I became a musician.
By Invaders, my enthusiasm for the band went up, but I already knew that they were not anymore the same band I used to love as a child during the 90's (yes, as a child).
The Day Is My Enemy was good, by way heavier, even because too long.
No Tourists is probably the real first LP by the which I have been a bit disappointed and I tell you this after six years from its release. This is due to the "way too advanced noise" and, sometimes, to the lack of ideas that i noticed (in my opinion), during the production of the same record. However, do you know what? I still love the band and their desire to being on the scene their music and their believe. On that record, there are anyway tracks like Resonate and Timebomb Zone which sound massive.

In comparison with the previous year, on one hand, I am not anymore that kind of fan who necessarily claims for a new release, especially after Keith's death, but on the other hand, I can't wait to watch them playing live, because I know they still bring something different and unique, as today music literally sucks.

Agree with you in every single word!

All of it is true, and everybody can see it except the ones who seeing through their fanboy eyes.

But it's nothing new, Prodigy live on reserve fuel and on their old glory days same as shitload of other bands today...

It is what it is!

I still hope for some kind of "bang" but what bothers me is that I have this impression that they think only about themselves (and money) and they don't even bother giving the fans what they want (and it seems like there aren't many fans left tbh). In the last few years I can't see any inspiration, ideas, any breakthrough, all I see is a band that used to have the biggest balls, now have zero balls.

It's not moaning and whining, it's criticism that is clearly deserved. And you can't even consider yourself a fan if you're not willing to criticize, state where you're dissatisfied, point out mistakes, and hope for progress and improvement.

They literally continue to sell out shows.



I'll take the fanboys over the sad, old, jaded people who keep coming back to cry and tell everyone how much they don't like The Prodigy anymore every chance they get.

Mostly small shows (festivals not counting). And that's not even a measure of the fan base anyway, everyone going to the shows, not just fans. You just have to look around (both online and offline) and you'll see that there aren't even a tenth of the fans compared to before.



Yeah yeah, take whatever you want. I expected your fast answer.

I am a longtime big superter, and as such I am also a big critic. I have my clear impressions about things I mentioned and I don't hold back from saying them. And I think every real fan should be like that.

Online? There are multiple fan groups on Facebook alone filled with loads of Prodigy fans. I run into Prodigy fans on multiple Discord groups, not even just The Prodigy related ones.

Offline? What are you going up to every person on the street and asking them, "Do you like The Prodigy?



Fast answer? I don't need to write an essay like the miserable sods who love to drone on about why they hate The Prodigy. People would rather have a good time and enjoy life. And even if I took the time to write out a thought out answer, you're instant response would be, "You're wrong because you're just a fanboy."

So why even bother wasting my time?

Anyway, off to have a good time and enjoy life...

Mira, no te conozco de nada y en la vida he interactuado contigo así que no eres nadie para hablarme así. Si soy crítico con el grupo estoy en mi derecho, tú tendrás tu opinión y yo la mía, pero a mi no vengas a leerme la cartilla en público, de acuerdo?

It's always like that, there's a group of 4-5 users (but some of them have deserted too) who do not allow any criticism towards the band, on top of that, some of their replies are quite aggressive and arrogant...honestly, I couldn't care less because this is a public forum where everybody should be free to give his opinion.

I suppose this is the type of people who cancel other people's opinion on twitter or similar social media sites if you disagree with them. Add a meme at the end of your text and you have apparently won a debate on the net...utterly pathetic

I like The Prodigy, I used to love them and they were my fav band for years and years and they will always have a place in my heart and my youth memories but I'm also an adult with opinions and if I want to say that they are in an obvious decline at this stage of their career, the rest of the forum shouldn't take my message as a personal attack

Yeah right. All this fan groups are just bunch of very nice fans, and I respect them all. But this is not even a small portion of old fanbase. Also, there are almost no new fans. Where are the new kids who are into Prodigy like we were when we become fans, almost zero of them in last 10+ years.

And offline, you don't need to ask anybody anything, you just feel it. Back in the days everybody of us known many people who are fans, how many of them any of you know lately. When was the last time any of you meet new one or randomly ran into someone who is also a fan, and how often such a thing happens...

I'm not saying that there is not fans anymore, but if you trying to convince me that there are same amount as before, you are in dreamland man. It's ten times less for sure!




First, you equated criticism and hatred as the same thing. Wrong!

Second, yes fanboys are delusional, no question about it. I don't know if you are fanboy, I never implied on you specificaly, but when you act like one it's your problem then. Maybe another meme/gif?

You are the one who takes personal offense when someone criticizes the band, calling other fans you don't know anything about "sad, old, jaded people" or "miserable sods" etc... So, maybe you indeed wasting your time!

/Peace/
