I was in rehab when i found out Keith had died. I was absolutely devastated. I've never felt that way about a celebrity before. He was the voice of my youth.
I was at Keiths funeral procession ending up in Bocking where the local police just shut the roads down and let us all rave in the road. The morning of the funeral i drove around town blaring The Prodigy and seeing everyone turn up from all around the world. That day i met people from Poland, Russia, Australia and more all there to celebrate a great mans life. I'm from The Prodigys hometown Braintree in Essex and often used to see the guys about town. One night i even raced across town me in my Astra GTE with Keith following in his bright yellow TVR! I LOVED The Prodigy being a local group and putting out such incredible music. They formed a massive part of my life throughout the 90s, even seeing them live a couple of times back then. Great times, great memories!
One of the viewers here said that they actually still have a copy of that Rolling Stone magazine in the other room with him on the cover. I don´t have a copy of that Rolling Stone magazine in the other room.
I was lucky enough to see them at the 97 big day out in Australia. My mate came out of the mosh pit covered in blood and I said "you're bleeding pretty bad" and he goes "nah, it's not my blood" and went straight back in. Lol
Keith Flint was the modern Johnny Rotten. (I was a punk back in 78) And if you listen close to God save the Queen where Rotten sings 'Nooooo Fuuuuture' in the end, Keiths' 'Come Play my game' in Breath is the same melody line... I saw many bands due to my job in the music industry. But only few bands had the power and dynamics of the Prodigy. And yes, At some festival in 96, I ended up backstage in the dressing room with the band... Nuf said. ;-)
Many talents. Lovely bloke. Down to earth. I meet Kieth in Braintree go kart track in the late 97 ish voodoo days. He used to fly round on his mini moto. (Bike) on the track. we all did it was crazy days. I miss it. My life went down hill after hearing about poor Kieth. Good video bro. Nicely done. 🫶🏼🐜🫎🦊📡🤡🍻 🐜R.I.P🐜 mate .
Even as someone who was more into metal and hip hop at the time i couldnt deny the power of some of their songs. No good and out of space are in my all time favourite list that bring back memories of crazy fun times from another, more party friendly world.
I like your non ai borat voice, it's almost as mine🙃 and let me tell you something - you'd be surprised how many people actually think th3 same. It's relatable. Keep up great work🤘
A lot of people dont realise how the stress affects them its great to have fame and everyone loving you but you can still feel like the loneliest person in the world when you think no one knows what your going through and you dont feel like you can tell anyone because you just dont think theyd understand!!
Very true. I was a working musician for a lot of years and battled with addiction. Nothing compares to the high you get when performing and we chase that feeling other ways and it can get very dark and lonely. I had to leave that life behind before it killed me and I'm 6 years clean and sober now. It's a shame that Keith had to go out the way he did.
It's always sad when someone meets an untimely end. At least he got the chance to touch the sun before the wax melted, and the feathers fled the wings. And he fell.
My first mosh pit was at a junior high dance, we all got amped up when Prodigy came on, and we started pushing each other and jumping around, and they immediately ended the dance.
I grew up in the 80s in america.i resented hippies.love ins? I liked post punk the cute, dm, sisters of mercy, Jesus and Mary chain. Then late 80s early 90s.raves and MDMA was our revolution.never felt so good and peaceful.
Was at esoteric festival not long after Keiths death.........the first friday night there was just the one big stage open. It went silent for a moment and then firestarter began......every single person there lost their blob. Few happy tears(maybe from the ketamine 🫠) but it was a magical moment to say the least.❤
never knew this bunch but did some how find myself at one of their concerts, think they open for tool maybe in 90s , not sure but it was interesting ,had the bass for sure
Growing up I wanted to be a MOD only because of the parka jacket, I then went down the hip hop road until the rave scene, I've been into the prodigy ever since, R.I.P Keith absolute legend
No they aren't lol. Tony from Adolescents, Colin from GBH, Lee Ving from Fear, Darby from the Germs, Dez from Black Flag, Paul from The Virus....so many better vocalists, and Keith wasn't a punk.
Chelmsford is a pretty big place for music. Sure that's where square pusher is from, as well, and his younger brother "ceefax acid crew" also... "essex psycho" when?
Keith was Keith , he didn’t follow trends he wasn’t into that at all . Deep down he was a lost soul . He may have come across as crazy .. but he was just trying to enjoy life . All these people who thinks he killed himself well … that’s your opinion . There’s definitely more to it than that ! Maybe one day truth will come out about all these stars that have supposedly taken their own lives !
Seemd like a daft kid, that through thhe nature of his job did far too much drugs, and never grew up. Most people did a few pills and coke etc back in the rave days, then moved on. These guys didnt, and seems like he burned himself out. Sad as he seemed like a nice enough bloke. RIP.
Yeah it is sad as a lot of his cash was wasted on the excesses . If he had changed his lifestyle a bit and only bought 1 pub and his house, maybe those 30 million record sales would have been suffice.
He was 49 so hardly a daft kid, this video only gives a glimpse of his fast life, nothing said of his peaceful adult life beyond the stage, like no mention of his marriage, his demons, towards the end he had split with Mayumi Kai love of his life, he was wanting her to come back to him and she wasn't having it, forcing the sale on the house which broke him to pieces, he was very depressed as any bloke would be in love, he had stalled sale of the house in hope of her returning, wasn't the burned himself out, as for money he was making it, even had a solo project on his own, poor guy was going through a dark time and needed help, geez for days before his death he was out training for a charity marathon race, how adult is that.
@Mosel66 I'm referring to who he was in the early rave days. As a dancer and latterly "frontman" he was always expected to play that same sort of 'mad for it' role. Didn't know about the other stuff. Sad story.
Punk ? Nobody including himself would say he was a punk he came from the rave scene as a dancer ...UK punk only lasted a couple of years when Keith would have been a baby and was a completely different thing on so so many levels to the original werehouse party scene that became 'rave' ......The 'rave punk' title was given to him by clueless music journalists who didn't now what else to call a guy with spiky hair ...
@@jeromejenkins3961agreed. I am punk as f**k brit. So is Keith. It's not all about the music. It's a state of mind! The prod' are the act in the overlap of the punk metal and dance heads circles.
He looks like a punk and his attitude is punk but he didn’t grow up punk and wasn’t influenced by it. I get where it came from but I feel like journalists should be a little more thorough in their research on people and their origins.
I agree with ya in how Keith was a PUNKER!!!! He had that TRUE PUNK soul that makes you a punk!! Digital PUNKS!! He a Gizz Butt (their guitarist) were like 2 Punkers that weren't TOO poser to not play music that isn't PUNK with he 4/4 standard beat!
Folks think “punk” is a style, or a genre. It is neither. Keith was punk as f@&$. He lived life by his own rules, and did whatever the hell he wanted. IMO he was punk personified.
Ive met him a few times, not a nice guy. For a guy who dosent write any of the music, he had one hell of an ego. Aggressive dude, yet incapable of writing a note of music.
I hate genre labels.😐 So fucking stupid. It's all rock which came from Rythem and Blues , which came from Folk and Tribal. See how asinine that is? I always thought Sonic Youth was real Punk and bands like Green Day were/are bubblegum Pop Rock. But at the end of the day Sonic Youth are Rock . Same with Green Day. Even though I can't stand Green Day.😐 There is only a few categories. Rock Jazz Classical Everything else is a fusion. At the end of the day it's all either Art or entertainment for simple weak minded people.😐
Not punk as in music genre. Punk as in attitude. He was punk as hell. Also he was the lead vocalist. Not just some non contributing dancer. Besides, if you knew anything about the rave scene in the 90s you would never consider a dancer just some non contributer.
@@mitch7503 He wasn't punk, no. Having the "attitude" doesn't make you a punk if you otherwise have nothing to do with the music or the punk scene. You don't know what you're talking about.
@greghauser742 you're absolutely incorrect. As someone who was heavily into the punk scene all through the 90s I can tell you in the scene there was many posers because they were people like you who didn't understand the mentality behind truly being punk.

Every now and then I remember that Keith Flint's dead, it still shocks me.
yeah, it's been 5 (!!!) years now.
Know a few who met him at bike rallies. Apparently a really lovely, down the earth guy. Nothing like the stage persona. Sad he died at his own hands.
I was lucky enough to see them at the 97 big day out in Australia.

No one forced him to do it.

Rest In Peace Keith Flint.
He was lovely guy nothing like his "crazy" image.
RIP MY CHEMICAL BROTHER love ya forever
I mis Keith Flint & his music. If only he just had one pub. He'd still be here today.
It's always sad when someone meets an untimely end. At least he got the chance to touch the sun before the wax melted, and the feathers fled the wings. And he fell.
Wonderful words for a unique personality.
@@deborahhenderson149❤❤ totally
Keith scared the sht out of me the first time I saw him. All these years later I think it’s cool!
Real music.
PLEASED TO SAY I SAW THE PRODIGY AT MANCHESTER APOLLO.OUTSTANNDING.R.I.P. KEITH FLINT.ONELOVE MANCHESTER, UK, ✌️
I remember being a young kid at 16 or 17 and seeing Keith in Blackpool. People were shagging around me up on the top floor. It was great!
In some ways I was surprised to hear how he passed, in some ways I wasn’t. The guy was a legend. RIP
Bless him 🙏
My first mosh pit was at a junior high dance, we all got amped up when Prodigy came on, and we started pushing each other and jumping around, and they immediately ended the dance.
That's not a pit.
My first listen to prodigy was music for a jilted generation.
Please please please reupload NoFX's close calls with cancellation
Can't find it. I'll try to sort something out in the next days
noFx is so awful. Ha
@@kookadams85NoFX Seeing Double at the Triple Rock is such a friggin great tune tho!

I love this video,i hope i'm not being inpolite i just wanted point out that pleshey not a town it's a village.
It is not far from where i grew up.
Growing up I wanted to be a MOD only because of the parka jacket, I then went down the hip hop road until the rave scene, I've been into the prodigy ever since, R.I.P Keith absolute legend
Just saw in news today the prodigy are doing a show for the first time in 6 years since Keith’s passing
You skipped the first album too much ..
We all wanted to dance like a mad man...very infectious and cool energy
Make a b side bootleg edition docu about the influence of that album .. Holland went mad 🙏🏼✨
The Venture Bros. Knew
"Brock! I'm down here with a confessed pyromaniac! "
I Envy Kieth Flint R.I.P.
This is good and all. Still, I hope it's not the last documentary about him though.
Prodigy was viral before the internet. Having a copy of Fat of the Land automatically made you cool in middle school
im glad your a fan.......but where did you get your info from?
Fya Starta was good!! The video for Smack my 🤫up was great!!They played it one time on 120 minutes... RIP 🌟 ✌️
So sorry Keith❤! He was a cute guy full of talent!! Rest in Peace mate❤
Keith..🖤🕯️✌️
Debt is a killer. Don’t spend what you don’t have. RIP
Ok I'll just starve
Better left unsolved
Legend
Madonna signed him to her record label Maverick records and gave him a million dollar advance. Look at who is still rich and alive.
Keiths and Jello Biafra's are the peak punk vocals!
No they aren't lol. Tony from Adolescents, Colin from GBH, Lee Ving from Fear, Darby from the Germs, Dez from Black Flag, Paul from The Virus....so many better vocalists, and Keith wasn't a punk.
Never knew Flinty styled his hair on his teachers 🤪
Gee I wonder why the world has gone crazy look at what people are into look you can tell
God bless U Keith...real firestarter , Forever
he’s on the island with biggie and tupac
That would suck.
Even Johnny Rotten is sad 😢
Chelmsford is a pretty big place for music. Sure that's where square pusher is from, as well, and his younger brother "ceefax acid crew"
also... "essex psycho" when?
The real kool Keef!!

You can see how truly hurt Johnny rotten is. Sids death he feels responsible in a way for and Keith death wasnt easy for him
💔

Agreed on him being a punk. As for English punk dying out after it's initial surge that simply isn't so. It did wane in popularity but never went away

The look alone leads people to think punk he was a punky dresser / raver / nutter lol 😂
Funny because I remember The Prodigy electric punks poster
Rave along with fxcking Simon Cowhell spelt the death of real music
He looks like a punk and his attitude is punk but he didn’t grow up punk and wasn’t influenced by it. I get where it came from but I feel like journalists should be a little more thorough in their research on people and their origins.
Seriously. It's so annoying.
Wasn't expecting fat mike..
So fucking sad ,he was depresed about 15 years....no one helped him
Prodigy
He was the firestarter....who knows what that means?
Prodigy's FIRESTARTER WERE NOT MOST DEF NOT THEIR BREAKOUT HIT.
It were hit BUT N0Y BREAKOUT.
hyperspeed... musta been after they bought it all then lol.... good one.
I agree with ya in how Keith was a PUNKER!!!!
He had that TRUE PUNK soul that makes you a punk!!
Digital PUNKS!!
He a Gizz Butt (their guitarist) were like 2 Punkers that weren't TOO poser to not play music that isn't PUNK with he 4/4 standard beat!
Yeah, open with the dumbest statement you can.
what’s with ur accent
He died ??!
That FIRESTARTER is so BAD!! Just like the videoclip!

It is a genre dipshit. A genre and scene Keith had nothing to do with. He wasn't a punk.
He died like a sad crusty the clown on pingers .
Youngblood's daddy????
Beetlejuice!!!!!!!
Wow seems a waste bet he was a happy young person then we get depressed sometimes when we get older but he should have been as proud as f&£k !
Punk….really!!!
Keith was hitting on my mate's girlfriend when I met him and my mate couldn't be prouder 😂
nice accent
Is that incredible sound Keef Flint? No it's the washing machine you silly stoner :-)
Ive met him a few times, not a nice guy. For a guy who dosent write any of the music, he had one hell of an ego. Aggressive dude, yet incapable of writing a note of music.
Yea, sorry, not the world's most "recognized punk icon". Since that all started long before The Prodigy. We're they awesome? Yell yea.
I hate genre labels.😐
So fucking stupid.
It's all rock which came from Rythem and Blues , which came from Folk and Tribal.
See how asinine that is?
I always thought Sonic Youth was real Punk and bands like Green Day were/are bubblegum Pop Rock.
But at the end of the day Sonic Youth are Rock .
Same with Green Day.
Even though I can't stand Green Day.😐
There is only a few categories.
Rock
Jazz
Classical
Everything else is a fusion.
At the end of the day it's all either Art or entertainment for simple weak minded people.😐
Not punk
That ain’t punk
😂 lol Most recognized 😂😂😂 for what his 2 songs?l ol 🤣 He's no Sid Vicious! And he's not punk at all!
He wasn’t punk though, was he? He was just a dancer for a rave act; in which he created nothing. He was just Essex Bez
