Keith Flint (Prodigy) died.

Post by phantasmagoria »

Only Forty fucking nine.

Prodigy were the band that made me realise there was more to music than what my parents listened to and what was in the charts. Gutted.

Jilted has the crown for me too.

I loved the sleeve insert with the drawing of the guy giving the police the finger and cutting the rope to the rope bridge.

Damn :(

Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned was always on my playlist at high school, along with LP's Meteora. Sad that the last greats of music are killing themselves off :(

Compared to what passes for a musician today, Chester was a fucking genius.

Damn, that sucks. Prodigy was one of the first bands I cranked up to max volume to piss off my parents. RIP dude. :tear:

Apparently he was a bit of a motorsports fan as well.

Back in 90210's prime, sure, but these days I'm not so sure.

Come on man, really? The last time Keith had a hit song was the late 90's and unless you were a fan you would have never seen his face. Luke was on the biggest show on TV at the time and continued to work in movies and TV until his death. I've heard Fire Starter, Smack My Bitch UP and Breathe hundreds of times, but I wouldn't be able to tell you who that guy was until now.

Nah, I like Prodigy but lets be real, Luke Perry was far more famous, perhaps not to people living on the other side of the pond though I suppose but world wide I think Luke Perry is way more famous. 90210 had 2 runs, they have another one planned and he was also in Riverdale which is recent and several other things. 5 days ago, if you asked me who Luke Perry was I could tell you easy, ask me who Keith Flint was and I'd have no clue unless you said the guy from prodigy.

edit: Also, without his makeup and his iconic hairstyle I wouldn't know that's the prodigy singer.

I genuinely had to Google who Luke Perry was

aye, big in the USA, but I'm the same as Donny, didn't know him by face or name. Was 90210 even on the tv over here?
