Damage control? Like Liam gives a shit

First you claimed they didn't play this before the current tour. They did.
Then you claimed they only removed the smack my bitch up lyric and not the rest. They did.

They played another version where all the original lyrics were removed and had a completely different vocal for the bridge drop.

"Wah! Censorship! Wah! Woke! Wah! 'Fanboy! Wah!"

There's no version of the truth. There's just the truth.
And all we can do is sit back and laugh at those who refuse the truth and would prefer to throw a moody.

Quick scroll thru Liam's posts on instagram and facebook and there is no large number of people complaining about the matter. All comment are praising how amazing the shows were. Where is this large number of people? because I saw like 3 or 5 comments about SMBU.

You were wrong about a lot of things by now. We are not fanboys that defend the band no matter what. We just pointing out with proof that what you are saying is complete nonsense.

The amount of concern for a lyric missed out of a tune that's 26 years old is crazy. What baffles me is there's hardly any concern over the lack of new material. Now would have been the perfect time to showcase new tunes but absolutely none. Shouldn't we be more concerned about when we're gonna get new music, if we ever do at this point? The thing is every year pretty much there's a new Hashtag from Liam on Instagram saying there's new stuff on the way so we're obviously gonna expect it. Should be "New wave of empty promises"

how you dare to criticize the band in this forum? they are gods even though they rarely ever produce new music anymore or they have gone woke (yes, the harsh truth) censoring themselves, ruining a classic track.

Sheer blasphemy on my part, the God's shall not be criticised!! In all seriousness though, if Liam didn't say a word till he knew he had new music ready I wouldn't even mind.

You were only looking at the place where the biggest fanboys gather. Look at the various comments on youtube and other platforms and social media. Even the newspapers wrote about it.




There is obviously no point in arguing with you fanboys (some still act like kids)... you know everything and Liam is GOD. Amen!

Let me put it this way... for everyone!

Throughout the last UK tour, for eight shows in a row (and at least one or few during the last summer)...


Acording to Mr. NEOREV:

"The Prodigy made new version of "Smack", where "change my pitch up" half-sample is untouched but "smack my bitch up" part is completely removed, not replaced with something else, just the space left blank. And in-mic lyrics are changed to "switch up, change my pitch up". And during the bigest drop in the song, where thousands of people shout "smack my bitch up", the new version of the song for some reason goes "change my pitch up". Rest of the track is unchanged. Again, acording to Mr. Neorev, it's just new mix of the track where completely all contraversal samples andy lyrics are removed/replaced absolutely unintentionally and without any specific reason. The song actually apear like its censored by pure coincidence."

And there are actually some of people who believe in that... wow!


/Peace Out/

Liam Played Resonate Beats right after Out Of Space last night at Berlin

From 1:22:24

No, I did not say that. There are 3 versions played so far. The regular version we all know, the version with "Switch up, change my pitch up" and the drop is "change my pitch up" that you all are crying about, and another version where "change my pitch up, smack my bitch up" lyrics are removed altogether and the drop sample sounds like it says "wake the fuck up" or something like that. There is no version where it says "change my pitch up" and then silence. Just like there's no version that says "change my pitch up, change my pitch up" like the papers claimed.



I did, and the comments were overwhelmingly positive.

The newspapers literally just copy and pasted each other. Like how they said Keith Flint sung the original lyrics to Smack My Bitch Up. The Sun even included a nice little arrow pointing to Keith, just in case you have no idea who Keith Flint is. And when they printed the old and new lyrics, they couldn't even get that right either. They couldn't even be bothered to actually reach out to the band or do any research when they printed that trash.

So you keep reading the papers.

Was track changed?


Was the "smack my bitch up" sample completely removed in those changes?


Was the live performance performed in such a way that the phrase "smack my bitch up" was completely avoided?


Was the version of the song that has no sample, and the phrase was completely avoided during the performance, a censored version?


Nobody cares what you fanboys say, the facts are clear.



And one more time, Peace Out!

What an ending and what an underrated track!

It's always the same, this forum has been toxic forever if you don't lick Liam's balls...

and if you are not right, you can always call the rest of us "stupids", put a few and include some old fashioned gif to illustrate that you are the greatest fan

pathetic

I just discovered the same and came to see if it had been mentioned - and wonder if any other gigs had some surprise bonuses that were not on the setlist?

I'm not even a big fan of Resonate but that was a nice touch. Looks like it was quite spontaneous - can see Liam giving Leo a heads-up. Maxim has already said his goodbyes and was putting his slippers on by this point!

My own two-pence after a week of Smack talk:

1) It sounds very much to me like deliberate censorship, NOT a simple case of 'messing around' and both the track and Maxim dropping the line is quite telling here. I noticed it first via YouTube one or two gigs prior to the UK tour starting (possibly Portugal footage) - I also note reports that the sample is restored again for the non-UK leg, but Maxim continues his cut version on the mic. I haven't yet listened myself to confirm.

2) That still isn't a reason to throw your toys out the pram. It's Liam's tune and their choice how they present it. I prefer the original lyric personally but I'm not going to let this ruin all things Prodigy for me. If their reasons are personal, fine. I just hope they didn't get leaned on by someone or some institution.

3) I hope I have managed to demonstrate it is possible to find a position that is neither denial OR "licking Liam's balls"

lol..
"prodigy going woke", "censorship"? this is laughable.
like NEOREV said, as if Liam gives ONE FLYIN' F about any of it.
went to the Amsterdam gig, group of 11 people. everyone had a great time, NO ONE noticed the "difference", we're just dancin' and vibin'. just friends celebrating the music we fell in love with all those years ago.
this is - in the end - The Prodigy. the energy, the bass, the buzz, the band on stage, the people having a great time.
not that hysterical rubbish that is social media.
