i have a small question to you good people.
i found this link somewhere - description says it's prodigy live in paris '95
video is a bit distorted, and somehow mixed with their videoclips, which's crappy but that's not my point.

thing which confuses me is, i cannot see Maxim in this video!
from the 1st moment instead maxim, i heard different voice, and really different style.
so i watched it more carefully, and, yea, apparently Maxim wasn't there!
some guy, with long hair and dressed with loose pants, does maxim's job.
in fact he looks like he's just hiding at the side of the scene and trying to do some MC'ing from time to time.
so, Maxim didn't do the show in Paris in 1995.

so i came here to ask you. any1 has any better info about this? what happened to Maxim those times and which was the reason of his absence? and who was the strange person trying to do his job?

thanx in advance BK ppl

What a fucking awful website - can't stream shit for peanuts!

Is it just one song? If so, sometimes maxim isn't always onstage for everything.

na it's few big parts of the concert, about 30 minutes alltogether.
and it even includes Poison. so i watched really careful to see Maxim, coz obviously he had to appear at Poison, but he is not there for sure.

around 20:20 the guy on stage says something about "... to maxim reality, wherever you are ??? .... " - maybe he was missed ? Plane was late ?

Or he missed the plane.

That "strange" person was MC Ruff, an amazing MC, now sadly dead

never knew that, any more info?

that's pretty interesting. I never knew Maxim was ever replaced thats weird lol. Ah well Anybody know if it was for one gig or more??
Maybe his wife was giving birth??

Or maybe he was ill

thread killer !


ambalina's answer is probably the one that makes most sence.

naaaah it dont cuz then hed had to be replaced everytime he got ill and that . mine makes more sence and dirtchamber's

lol I never knew Maxim was ever replaced by someone. But whatever happened, now I see how much a gig sucks without Maxim. Especially at Poison.

I remember reading in the 'Electronic Punks' book that he also missed a gig due to illness in the US in 92 and Leeroy had to improvise as an MC.

oh dear
maybe he had sth serious?
