  • Prodigy frontman Keith Flint is a true legend in many ways -- you can see his passion for music, bike racing and life itself in every move he makes. Not content with racing himself, in 2010 he set up his own endurance bike racing team - Traction Control - and we caught up with him at the first round of the Hottrax Endurance Championship at Oulton Park in the UK to find out why racing gets him out of bed. Literally. As he tells us, "I can't do something half-cocked. I've got to do it because I love it." You know he means business.

    I remember being at the Farmyard party in 1995 which was run by Motorcycle Action Group. It was a massive bikers party held in Helmsley North Yorkshire..
    We gave a copy of the Prodigy's Music for a Jilted Generation to the DJ who was playing all the standard heavy Metal stuff..
    We sat back and watched a couple of thousand hairy arsed bikers going nuts and bouncing around to the Voodoo People and Their Law like mad men..
    Great sight..great memory.
    .RIP Kith Flint

Keith is first alive in my mind everytime i see or hear him on video, secondly he is still alive at a different moment in time. like everything dear that dissappears, the moment was there, like the timelapse scene in the time machine at a different moment. its how i like to think of people and places that are no longer there. they technically are in a 4th dimension logic and we had the privilege of knowing of him when that moment was there. he'll never fade

      @calryan6531 5 лет назад +4

      @@originallimu What? It's no pro suicide at all. From a spiritual point of view, he had many demons along the years and now he's free of that. Suicide isn't the way, I'm not saying that. But somebody who's lost people to suicide personally I know they're now out of their darkness and sadness. There's always a way forward, for most. Some people just weren't meant for the earth, they're closer to higher energy that's why some die early. Suicide or not.

    • @originallimu
      @originallimu 5 лет назад +2

      Jesse Callum All I’m saying is we have to be sensitive to the fact that people in a bad state of mind could be reading this. So the “he’s in a better place” logic isn’t helpful. Neither is “high spiritual energy” folks as if it is somehow normalized for that type. The crux of this very difficult subject is that it stems from unresolved trauma. Spiritually speaking it is soul fragmentation. And there are numerous therapies like NET (Neuro-Emotional Technque) that are proven to ameliorate trauma. Even flower essences can have a huge impact on your emotional state, there’s a company called Freedom flowers which has formulas for Soul Fragmentation & abuse victims. It’s also been found that allergies & nutritional deficiencies can contribute to depressive states so that when those conditions are reversed, depressive/suicidal thoughts & symptoms have gone with it. Basically, inflammation. At the most rudimentary it can also come down to how much naturally occurring lithium is in your water. Numerous studies across the world have discovered a strong correlation b/t low lithium levels & suicide/homicidal rates. In fact places w/ high elevation tend to have the lowest lithium. And Colorado is the highest state, w/ incidentally the highest suicide rate. If you are a child from a single parent household your chances are 2-3 times higher. So yeah, demons & whatnot but they are being influenced by the lower spiritual strata & not actually making a free choice. Bc of the “contagion effect” (& esp if you’re famous) the probability that others will follow increases, putting your immediate family members & loved ones at the highest risk. Being aware of these factors can give your conscious mind an advantage over the unconscious forces driving such destructive impulses.

      @@calryan6531 and how do you know he committed suicide because of Demons he had along the years ? all it takes is one bad thing to have happened recently for him to have thought fuck it. There are pictures published online of him running for a charity event 2 days before his suicide, If he was so mentally unstable surely he wouldn't have done that charity event ? he was a great guy, a met him a few times, seen him at the Isle of Man TT, Also saw him at Amnesia house Book of love in 1992. So sad that he has gone, he will be truly missed.
