"This was on MTV?" Of course, it was the 90's, together with Marilyn Manson, NIN, Björk, Aeon Flux, Jackass, Beavis and Butthead... The best time to watch MTV
The Prodigy just hit something around this time. In the 90s you had the crowd that listened to electronic music of various sorts - D&B, jungle, house etc - then you had the indie kids listening to guitar music (like me). The Prodigy managed to find a sound that appealed to both and so in the UK this brief period is fondly remembered all round.
@@soledadgarcia-parillo3035 I was 9 when it came, I was obsessed and terrified at the same time 😂 I saw it for the first time at the German music canal viva zwei (alternative one) and I couldn’t sleep 😂😂 cheers from Poland ❤️
Keith was a true gentleman. I met him after a gig in Camden and he was genuinely lovely. We miss you Keith and we miss your amazing contribution to music. RIP Sir ❤
Never seen The Prodigy live but I’m lucky to have watched a Leeroy Thornhill set and it was so like listening to Keith Flint and the Prodigy from the early days.im big into motorcycling also so I loved his team at the I.O.M r.i.p Keith.😢
"Psychosomatic Addict Insane" describes so many kids of the lost generation and The Prodigy connects deeply to us as our voice. We were on the transitional era coming to an internet induced society, yet The Prodigy stayed as they were, making us feel we have that rock to hold on to. Have fun with them, son. Smack My Bitch Up, Poison, Spitfire and Warrior's Dance will blow your mind.
I grew up with the Prodigy. They were part of the soundtrack to my teenage years! This was banned on some music channels from what I can remember. The track is insane. Its a meaty, commanding mash up of genres that works so beautifully. Keith was an incredible front man. Their earlier stuff was pretty dope too. 'No Good (Start The Dance)' is fantastic
Prodigy are f**King iconic! They were a huge part of British pop culture and music throughout the 90s (and beyond). They came from the underground rave scene and broke into main stream. Everyone from ravers to doctors, kids to parents would love a bit of Prodigy whenever it came on. Everyone knew who they were. Once, when asked what her favourite song was, my mum said The Prodigy "Smack My Bitch Up". She had it on repeat in her car. They're legendary!
@@nikolatesla6438 your love was the tune that really smashed the underground clubs over on the B side. Ha ha remember B Sides? The energy in music during the 90s and eighties was infectious.
Yup. A whole generation of us danced, drank buckets of water, took too much E and we're all on antidepressants now ffs! It was when clubbing became a sort of lifestyle. That was Dublin in the early 90s.
I can't help but get so tickled when I see reactions to this kind of music video :D In the 90s, this was such a 'look' for rock/grunge/alternative videos that had a darker edge - NIN, Marilyn Manson, etc. Dark/creepy lighting, film in a room/house that looks like its either condemned, haunted or both, black lipstick/unusual makeup, contact lenses that make your eyes look messed up, close up on some insects, scorpions, rats, etc. and voila!! I loved it all so much - miss the days of The Prodigy - they are legends and Keith is sorely missed - thanks for the great reaction video :)
Wow this takes me right back to the late 90s! The Prodigy were kind of unique in that you could go to a an indie club and it would be played in amongst Blur and Oasis, go to a hard rock/metal club and it would be played with Metallica and Nirvana, it would be played in dance clubs too and on daytime radio. I kind of forget how huge they were.
I once saw an interview with Liam and he was saying how when he started producing music he asked couple of famous DJs and producers about the music he wanted to make and all of them said "Don't do it". Me and millions of people are so happy he didn't listen and created The Prodigy.
My daughter saw Prodigy live in the early 2000s. She said Keith Flint was the most charismatic person she had ever seen. Small in stature but huge in spirit. RIP Flinty.
Christmas Eve 1996: My sister and I, in our early/mid twenties, are decorating the family Christmas tree, with this on TV. Our dad walks in, sees/hears 10 seconds of the tune, shakes his head in disbelief, and walks out.
Ya look into the MTV airing it super early in the am on Matt Pinfields show 180... It was an alternative show like Yo MYV Raps and Headbangers Ball. Made quiet a talking subject but the video was just 👀 when it aired lol
@@dannymccartney1 there are two versions -- the censored version and uncensored version -- if he reacts to one it has to be the censored one -- but I just searched youtube and can't find it -- found lots of covers and remixes and versions that have just the words, but can't find the actual original video of either the censored or uncensored one -- and without the video it loses ALL its meaning -- alright, found the uncensored version on vimeo 144850907 uncensored -- you have been warned LOL
Especially played through PA speakers with decent sub bass...... used to love doing that back when this was released and I owned a PA system for the band I used to be in...
I still have this song on repeat on my playlist. To this day. For me, that was the whole point of the song. A lot of kids (like me), we felt stifled, coming out of very strict moral upbringing in the 80's. When the 90's came (ooooh... and what a childhood it was!) - songs like these came out as a reaction. It was about screaming and rebelling. And it was good.
Old school? Experience > Music for the Jilted Generation > The Fat of the Land So 1st and 2nd album vs 3rd? I guess they did change a bit after Music for the Jilted Generation but it's all still recognisably The Prodigy. I saw them live 3 times, all before The Fat of the Land ;o)
I was lucky enough to see them live twice and managed to get on stage with them when they were touring for the experience album. They are phenomenal live
The best thing about The Prodigy in my opinion is that no other band/artist have that type of sound and i really like it but as you said it has to grow and marinate on you at first before you can appreiciate fulltime. It's sooo freakin' good!
RIP Keith Flint, he was one of the realest people in music. I had the privilege of seeing Prodigy live in 1998 at my first ever festival when I was 15. It was wild. Saw them again about a month before Keith left us in 2019 in Sydney, and it was equally as wild. The Prodigy are the true OG’s
I saw them on the 26th of august 2018 at victorious, let me tell you right now... the best experience I’ve had at my first festival. Their performance lasted 2-3 hours and after it finished the crowd didn’t want it to end. I was 14 then and I’ll be 17 this year, so I’m pretty young but I love them. They may have lost a member but they’ll always be an amazing group and I’m glad I saw them at Victorious in 2018
Liam howlett samples a lot, he takes a sample & plays around with it, you'd be amazed to know how many songs he used & shocked to see what songs he used to make the alternative music he is well known for. He is beyond talented & keef, maxim & leeroy were originally dancers for Liam to get the crowd hyped at raves then firestarter changed the whole dynamic. A very underrated band, they have a big following but they don't get the credit they deserve that's for sure.
I saw these guys live back when this album was released and it felt like the roof was going to blow off the venue. They were just amazing. Keith Flint's passing was such a massive loss.
I was 12 when this came out in 96 and since then they're one of my fav electronic bands ever. Live they' were out of this world, sooooo much energy. Their catalog is so good. RIP Keef.
Keith was an amazing artist I went to watch them 3 times in Manchester UK and it was the best times I've ever had and I always wore a white dress so I stood out and Keith came over to me ever time brilliant music rip Keith your sadly missed.
I had this song on my birth play list when my son was born. The midwife said it was the first time she had heard it in those circumstances. Totally needed to breathe
This is why we love The Prodigy, every album and song is so different yet it all hits us with the same brilliant energy🙌🏼 check out some of their earlier work like Out of space, Everybody’s in the place and No good (start the dance) !!!
Your face when watching this is so precious. The 80's and 90's were an interesting time for music videos. Sometimes they told stories in relation to the music, but a lot of times they were just weird as hell. I loved industrial music at the clubs. One thing this song does really well is build pressure, release it, and build it up again. It's cathartic.
I agree, i remember seeing Firestarter for the first time on the video chart show and i was mesmerised and utterly freaked out in a good way- same with this.
Had the pleasure of being front row seeing these guys live! What an AMAZING show! I pulled a face at Keith during this song and he jumped off stage and held my hand! It was epic!
Their sound is so unique. I was a teen in the 90s and they were such a sooound 🖤 The video for 'Smack My Bitch Up' was banned for an age but its brilliant 👏
My biggest memory with this song - I was at a Michael Jackson concert in 1997, waiting in the front row before the concert started and there was random, popular music on. And there were so many people and you were squished in the front row and then they played Breathe and I was like... yeah, I'd like to :D it was an amazing concert though
Keith was a good chap, he used to run past me on a ex railway regularly when I was out in a tractor doing work on it. His whistle to get my attention could be heard through an very load 30 year old tractor running at full power through ear defenders! Got this and Fire Starter on CD single somewhere.
I was in school when the video aired on MTV and I remember this was also a very popular clip. This and Firestarter were played on MTV and other music channels in my country.
Love seeing you enjoy them. I saw them in 2005 I was 14, it’s was a small gig in their hometown (and mine) in an abandoned horse race course, it was wild. One of the best nights of my life
Great reaction, Jay. You should check out some of their earlier stuff such as, 'Out Of Space', 'Their Law', 'No Good (Start The Dance)' and many others.
Since the first time, I saw them live, I couldnt listen to the studio versions anymore because this was the ultimate live band! From the first second to the last it was nothing but pure, insane, electryfied chaos in the pits. Since then there was nothing better in this universe than a prodigy live gig. Whenever they were in Germany, I went zu their concerts. R.I.P Keith Flint! It felt to me like their studio albums were just a hint for what to expect on the next gig. Check out some live content! You wont regret it!
Haha, yes this was on mtv! Back when they still played videos 😂 Their video for "smack my bitch up" wasn't even allowed to be played until after midnight!
I remember being 17 standing at the dance floor of the school party with couple of my also drunk friends and chanting Prodigy, Prodigy, Prodigy to the old fart DJ who always played things like Love is in the air, Wake me up when you go etc. He used to play Prodigy at the end around 2 or 3 o'clock at night.
MTV was wild in those years. We were used to crazy, very creative music videos. And Prodigy was one of the hardest, most badass bands back then (unless you plunged into pure metal). Greetings from Germany, the country where the Love Parade took place yearly.... millions of people in Berlin raving to techno music like there was no tomorrow.
Yep, I certainly grew up on that, it was on heavy rotation. :D The '90s didn't fuck around and the music videos were often highly artistic and kinda disturbing. I didn't think anything of it back then, just went 'neat'. I still think this is one of the coolest music videos ever.
The prodigy smack my b up reaction ua-cam.com/video/LEIxvZt-Jw4/v-deo.html
This was on MTV , VH1 . Man its supposed to shock you so dont be a weak person just enjoy it... it's about being crazy

I was just thinking this -- he needs to see Marilyn Manson next, or NIN, or Rob Zombie.
They did, however, ban Smack my Bitch Up.

In the States as well.
Same in the U.S. :) Thanks, England.
Absolutely correct.
Even metal heads appreciate the Prodigy. They really hit over many genres.
25 years hasn't dated that song..still sounds fresh AF.
i had 15 years when i started to listen them ,having 41 now and its still my favorite band ever and breathe is my favorite song .
Awesome group.
Nice beat, they still look scary....gives me nightmares looking at them

Aye, great guy
I seen the Prodigy live at an outside rave Book of love in the UK. Try out the song Charlie or Outspace. Awesome live
The guy was an absolute gent when I met him,really sound fella.sadly missed
British eccentricity at it's best.. R.I.P. Keith ...legend.
My mother is 75. This is one of her favourite songs. She loved Keith.
Your mother is a living legend! Awesome!
at 56 i totally understand that lol .
W O N D E F U L
Your Mum has amazing taste. All my best to her ❤🤘
I want to meet your mother so I can tell her she is one amazing woman!
The 90's was fire for practically all music be it rock, metal, pop, you name it. It was the last truly free decade in all senses.
It was the best. So much creativity!!
1000% agree.
Oh, dear!!! My teenage years, when MTV was our UA-cam.... I miss the 90's sooooo much!!
Amen to that ;)
Same here 😢...when this song released i was 17....
or When mtv was MTV!
same!
@@dimitrakapa4887 thanks for making me feel a bit younger. 😂 Being born in 1993 I sometimes feel old compared to the kids.

100%
I was there in the UK, Oxford, 90s from the prodigy experience, MFTJG……it was an amazing time.
Spot on, I was mid 20s when this came out, music for the jilted generation but I do miss the 90s. The Internet has broken the world and the people
Warrior's dance ! I love you man :)
Yes yes yes more Prodigy. There is more, much more. No Good For Me, Voodoo People, Smack My Bitch Up etc etc
Voodoo People is a banger! There have been many good DJ remixes of it too.
This. Voodoo people. Also on the soundtrack and chase scene of the movie 'Hackers'.
Charly too for sure!!
Yessss smack my bitch up, please!!!
I think the video for "Smack My Bitch Up" is going to traumatize him. 😆😆
I grew up with the Prodigy. They were part of the soundtrack to my teenage years! This was banned on some music channels from what I can remember.
The track is insane. Its a meaty, commanding mash up of genres that works so beautifully.
Keith was an incredible front man. Their earlier stuff was pretty dope too. 'No Good (Start The Dance)' is fantastic
Keith was one of the nicest people in the music industry....never ignored his fans . He's greatly missed .
And Liam...👍

Hahaha respect to your mum 🖤🐜

I miss the days of "16 and watching MTV" instead of "16 and pregnant on MTV". The world seemed a much better place back then.

You have to do Smack My Bitch Up...the video is crazy and u don’t see the ending coming 👍🏻
you won't see it on youtube because of all the tits and violence.
I agree.
I just commented the same thing about the video lol
Ya look into the MTV airing it super early in the am on Matt Pinfields show 180...
It was an alternative show like Yo MYV Raps and Headbangers Ball.
Made quiet a talking subject but the video was just 👀 when it aired lol

I would very much like to watch him react to that one! Eheheheh
Also try babys got a temper.
Lol yeah! 😆
Poison....video would freak him out...
Even that one was on MTV
Saw Prodigy in ‘95 and ‘15, fantastic band.
Being in the crowd at one of their gigs and they play this, nothing like it. RIP Keith.
I saw them indoors and there was no oxygen in the arena, just adrenaline, pure adrenaline :)
Agree 100%, you wouldn’t think being mostly studio produced electronic music, but their live show is so amazing..
Have always appreciated the energy you get from Prodigy!
Prodigy out of space. Their early music..
I'm expecting a prodigy posted behind you in the near future
❤❤❤❤❤❤
That would be a great choice too, or Their Law
Defo. That first album was the best.
Yup that's how I found Prodigy in like 92 it must have been. My legs hurt just thinking about it. No wonder we were thin back in the day lol
Yeah their earlier works were better. Music for the Jilted Generation is one of my favorite albums from my college years.
"Voodoo People" and "Break & Enter" 👍
90's brought aswesome and remarkable songs almost in every genre.
The bass line is everything. Superb song.
Especially played through PA speakers with decent sub bass...... used to love doing that back when this was released and I owned a PA system for the band I used to be in...

Old school?
Experience > Music for the Jilted Generation > The Fat of the Land
So 1st and 2nd album vs 3rd?
I guess they did change a bit after Music for the Jilted Generation but it's all still recognisably The Prodigy.

I loved Everybody Is In The Place!
I was lucky enough to see them live twice and managed to get on stage with them when they were touring for the experience album.
They are phenomenal live
The 97 Fat of the Land tour was something else. I've never heard bass like it. They opened with smack my b***h up and the drop made the place erupt
so so true mate it was epic in the truest sense of the presentation of the music
I saw them in Glasto 97, year of the great wash-out.

So cool you’re listening to these guys, my friend Was a DJ at our wedding and we played mostly The Prodigy , even the oldies loved it!x
You should react to The Chemical Brothers "Block Rockin' Beats"
God I loved the Chemical Brothers - we had some powerful dance music back then
Went to see the Prodigy many years ago in Cardiff, they were supported by ‘Special Guests’ who turned out to be the Foo Fighters!

Love the Prodigy! PS your expression while you watched the video was priceless lol! thx for sharing Jayvee :)
I grew up with this on MTV, hey I grew up when MTV was all music and no reality shows =) that was awsome.
Keith was a good chap, he used to run past me on a ex railway regularly when I was out in a tractor doing work on it. His whistle to get my attention could be heard through an very load 30 year old tractor running at full power through ear defenders! Got this and Fire Starter on CD single somewhere.
This song was at nightclubs and on music shows. Plus it was the 90s. Love how he can’t deal with how music videos were like in the 90s.
Wait til he sees Aphex Twin.🤣🤣🤣🤣
So much more than at first meets the eye! My favourite album Music For The Jilted Generation! RIP Keith Flint! Iconic!
I still get chills to this track after all these years
YES!
I was in school when the video aired on MTV and I remember this was also a very popular clip. This and Firestarter were played on MTV and other music channels in my country.
Prodigy awesome live, RIP Keith Flint, best dance music in UK, peace and love.
Love seeing you enjoy them. I saw them in 2005 I was 14, it’s was a small gig in their hometown (and mine) in an abandoned horse race course, it was wild. One of the best nights of my life
Great reaction, Jay.
You should check out some of their earlier stuff such as, 'Out Of Space', 'Their Law', 'No Good (Start The Dance)' and many others.
Since the first time, I saw them live, I couldnt listen to the studio versions anymore because this was the ultimate live band! From the first second to the last it was nothing but pure, insane, electryfied chaos in the pits. Since then there was nothing better in this universe than a prodigy live gig. Whenever they were in Germany, I went zu their concerts. R.I.P Keith Flint! It felt to me like their studio albums were just a hint for what to expect on the next gig. Check out some live content! You wont regret it!
These guys originated from around 25 miles from me. They WRRE the 90's!
7 miles for me.....
I did grow up with this on MTV...
Seen the prodigy over 20 times perform live and even have them tattooed on me..
Best band ever!
Jayvee respect to you bud. Brit music goes where others fail to.
Where they fail and do not dare to go...
Its so nice to see the youth still enjoying The Prodigy . I was 12 I think when this tune came out and im 36 now and it still gets my head banging .
Haha, yes this was on mtv! Back when they still played videos 😂
Their video for "smack my bitch up" wasn't even allowed to be played until after midnight!
I remember being 17 standing at the dance floor of the school party with couple of my also drunk friends and chanting Prodigy, Prodigy, Prodigy to the old fart DJ who always played things like Love is in the air, Wake me up when you go etc. He used to play Prodigy at the end around 2 or 3 o'clock at night.
What a great album Fat Of The Land is
MTV was wild in those years. We were used to crazy, very creative music videos. And Prodigy was one of the hardest, most badass bands back then (unless you plunged into pure metal).
Greetings from Germany,
the country where the Love Parade took place yearly.... millions of people in Berlin raving to techno music like there was no tomorrow.
Yep, I certainly grew up on that, it was on heavy rotation. :D The '90s didn't fuck around and the music videos were often highly artistic and kinda disturbing. I didn't think anything of it back then, just went 'neat'. I still think this is one of the coolest music videos ever.
I was lucky enough to see two of their concerts. Some of the best I have ever been to!
Love this song! Love Prodigy! Pick a song and can't go wrong.
My son loved this and he was 4 years old.when he was older he wanted the same hairstyle...his a prodigy fan now x
If you want to be really, really scared - like pumping heartbeat frightened - then the video for "Come to Daddy" by Aphex Twin will get you there.
Watched it first in the 90s as a teenager. Yes it was on tv. Was a massive song, first l heard of them. Still as good from when l first heard it.
Memories! When MTV had great music on it. Man, I miss the 90s.
I remember seeing this on mtv (my mum watched it a lot) when I was a kid. I then saw them live when I was in my teens in the 2000s.
yup on behalf of all genXers we're completly well rounded individuals 😂
Totally- ..where'd I put my meds....
