PRODIGAL CHAT

  September 25, at 7 pm UK time 60 lucky fans had the chance to chat with the Prodigy. Very well moderated by Rockstar, the chat with the band was really nice, despite the fact there were 60 people asking all kind of questions.

  First they entered one by one : Liam, Maxim and Keith, but it was a total chaos, so they changed, Rockstar entered with the Prodigy name, and he picked up the users one by one in alphabetical order, to ask the Prodigy what they want, meanwhile the rest was waiting their turn.

  Dj Lectro was so kind to transcribe the screenshots to text. So thanks to him, here we are:

Keith: fucking bring it on

(got bombed with questions)

(They quittet and rejoined as "Prodigy")

(007 didn´t react, so they moved on...)

nikon: Is Leeroy Thornhill AKA Flightcrank going to appear on the new Prodigy album ?

36363: hi prodigy..... will you in the future ever do a gig/concert plying purely oldskool stuff??? like a one off...ever?

acid: Hmm, ok, has to be, whats the next album? And hola :)

acid: single rather

afroshox: Hello guys! How´s the album coming along otherwise?

nikon: When will Liam Howlett release a Live CD of his own gig recordings to the public ?

Alex: Hi! what´s Liam´s biggest inspiration for the new album and is it going to be any darker than the previous ones?

Ant: Hi! Are you going to stage a concert in Poland?

Atargon: Hello :) I´M From France, And I´Ve Made 3 Mixes BGAT And 1 Of SMBU. I Have Contacted C.K. I´M Waiting For Your Opinion. Congratulations For Your Working :)))

Ataragon: I Have Chipped The CD This Afternoon. Its OK.

Bill: Hello there ! Are there any future Solo Projects from you guys ? Besides AONO ? What is it finaly about the No Souvenirs tune and 3D ? Thank u and respect !

Bill: I thought it was my turn really

Bill: Uh, I just posted it really

bleek: What hardware/software are u mainly writing the new album in(does that include the original w30), and which track came first , ´Break and Enter´ or the Baby D - Cassanova remix (the breaking glass vs gunshot samples for percussion)?

Brain: hey Liam, will you ever release a Prodigy GREATEST HITS album?

007: with a dub mix?

philchill: like selected mixes for the j g?

Ellefire: Will there be a lot of collaborations with other artists like the last album on the new album? Is it too soon to tell?

DaBeeBwoy: How´s your producing process, Liam?

Prodigy: and unknown vocalists on anothers

prodigalONE: we´re going in order people

prodigalONE: relax

prodigalONE: im letting the people know how to ask questions

DaBeeBwoy: well, some people need months to get a track written, constructed from the beginning to the end... others just wait for inspiration and get tracks done in one day

DaBeeBwoy: so what´s the creative process like for you?

DENOX: Hi guys, i love your music and I´ld know if u r gonna play here, in Spain, next year, in any live festival like Festimad (Madrid) ??

Djam: are some of the samples on the site gonna appear in some way on the album?

Djlectro: Hello I´m from Denmark, and I was wondering if you´ll play in Denmark? -Do you know where - Roskilde? And I thought about if theres gonna be more solo material from each of you after the CD? And then what do you eat for breakfast? And my last question: (I know its a hard question) but is this gonna be your end???

Djlectro: youll play anywhere. Got that :)

Djlectro: the end of prodigy

DjSam: "Hi all of you. When or are you coming to Finland any time soon?

and Liam; do you have guitar chorts/riffs that you used in prodigys songs that you could give out to public?"

Prodigy: if you can find any melody or chords in the music, then good luck

phillchill: i´m about to lose my connestion, can i say my thing?

DOM: who will be #4 in your band?

djzub: will there be any DVD-release (making of...etc..etc..)???

phillchill: i just want to thank maxim for the glasses i won, they look cool on me :) thanks mate. Loved you all at reading.

phillchill: thanks

djzub: will there be any DVD-release (making of..etc..etc..etc)???

Alex: pyramid shit?

DPaC: Hi, are you guys going to tour in The Netherlands, preferably Limburg? ever? & Liam - ever used an Amiga or SID for music?

dufe: Liam: (and others) Thank you for the inspiration, thank you for the Music. You say that no souvenirs, a track completed nearly 2 years ago, deserves it´s place on the new album. Yet a song written within the past year- BGAT, probably wont be on the new album. How can a song written a few years back still have that vibe you want to fit into the album?and, can you tell us anything about no souvenirs we dont know yet? Thanks guys..

Ellefire: I´ve already asked

EugeneZ: Hi! Will there be a b-side on the next single? Who would you want to do a remix for you?

evans: what do you say to the likes of nme who slag of your music (bgat) and basically say you have lost it? eugene lock and load when

FinalX: Is the album gona be long... like jilted ??? R there any instrumental tracks?? Are u coming to Portugal next year??

phillchill: what song is going on the nme album?

Djlectro: We are willing to wait for a good (worked on) album

fLiNtY: Why is the earth round ? Joking.. here is my question :

fLiNtY: Hi guys, I would like to know if there is any tracklisting of your new album, and how many tunes are ready for the album really ? What about the Gallegher collaboration (worked on fine with the chemical brothers). And, will u use this site to comunicate to your fans (chat guestbook) ?

FreakoftheForest: I did enjoy on BGAT your excess of layers of noise and different samples and a random one-time shit goin´ on, great shit. can´t wait to hear what´s to come. best luck on the rest of the album, seems like it´s shaping up to have a good variety of vibes...

FreakoftheForest: oh and do you plan on doing anything further with ´we do what the fuck we want´? i really like that tune

GhAuDy: Hi Liam, Keith and Maxim...to Liam: Will you release the Dirtchamber Sessions Vol.2 after AONO?

Gustav: Hi there i just wanna say that ive bin a fan since late 93 and love fire =)....will u make a lot of songs for the new album and then make a cut and if so will those song be released?

Gustav: well make a lot of songs and then sort some of em out cause they dont fit like BGAT but beside that one

HacKnight: Liam, when you make a song, what do you usually start with (rhythm/melody/etc) and where do you go from there? I´m somewhat of a musician myself (14 years classical piano) and I´ve always been hooked on everything electronic. Last year, I picked up a Korg Triton and the Electribe S. You guys are a huge influence and inspiration, keep up the amazing work!

htp: hi, what are your favorite albums or to which bands do you listen mostly at the moment ?

ftyfty: Will you still paly Poison ?

jam: any chances that those ´live´tracks (benny blanco, the newer ones,etc) become bsides? we want bsides! :p maxim, keith: any details about your new albums?

Jilted: Hi there you music Gods, you have always managed to surprise your fans with the evolution you make from TFOTL as TFOTL was different from MFTJG(and so on)? thanks I hope I hear from you guys for many years to come :) and don´t forget to keep that special vibe alive

Jilted: Hi there you music Gods, you have always managed to surprise your fans with the evolution you make from album to album, so do you think AONO will be as different from TFOTL as TFOTL was different from MFTJG? thanks and I hope I hear from you guys for many years to come :)

John: Hi, do you read the forum?

Marcel: you said the new album is to be expected more electronic, but will there be stuff like ska as well? according to the release of ghost town, i mean. i´m a big ska-fan..;). besides, i really hope you´re coming soon to switzerland, i´m desperate to see you live. big respect to all of you guys!

john: you releasing ghost town?

missmolotov: thanks for doing what you do, and carrying on, i love your music. is there any chance that Leeroy will ever come back and do guest work? it was really sad when he left, because of everything you had said about being a unit of 4 people. and why did you release BGaT as a bridging gap? are you doing any UK tour and are going to make it down to devon? i´d love to see you in a concert not just a festival. (sorry that was a bit long)

MasterDX: Hi! www.theprodigy.com - this is completed new website, or maybe it will look the same? When are you plan have a visit to Israel and Russia? Have you ever listen to The Second Division remixes of your tracks? and the last one, can i make official remix on the "Weather Experience"? Big big respect!!!

missmolotov: thanks for doing what you do, and carrying on, i love your music. is there any chance that Leeroy will ever come back and do guest work? it was really sad when he left, because of everything you had said about being a unit of 4 people. and why did you release BGaT as a bridging gap? are you doing any UK tour and are going to make it down to devon? i´d love to see you in a concert not just a festival.
