erm, precisely, i bought Machine Head into it because YOU MENTIONED SUPPORT ACT.

edit - and read the MP3 player thread if you're assuming i just like heavy music

[ampersand]

quit bickering!

[Salt_On_Everything]

naming a rap artist had nothing to do with it. it just seemed like the claim was that Slipknot could sell out the SECC easily but Prodigy needed Dizzee Rascal to help, which seemed a bit daft to me (edit - probably just me misreading!). which is why i mentioned the support bands.

and for the record, i wrote my university dissertation about hip-hop music, so believe me, mention it in the Download thread all you want, and try and find out which hip-hop artist my screen name comes from

christ. i'm getting scared. i joined the official boards a few days ago and now i'm arguing with strangers. shit.

Don't be scared, there's something about forums that brings out a little bit of pompus-ness/arrogance in everyone.. and i mean everyone

Who's more popular than The Prodigy at the moment, in britain?

[Sparticus]

well whatever happens it's a proper joke if The Prodigy clash with Slipknot and Marilyn Manson get sub headline slot, The Prodigy are way bigger than Manson at the moment

[theramm]

All this talk about Prodigy being 'amazing' live, I saw them at V in 05' & (please correct me if I'm wrong) it just seemed like a bloke playing records with Keith Flint & Maxim Reality like 'hype men' getting the crowd going? What am i missing?

indeed, unless manson has some major boost he shouldn't be second headlining, the guy's been irrelevant for half a decade.

[deadrobot]

Prodigy at Download last time was thee best live show I have ever been to, and I couldnt even see the stage, it was immense!

[theramm]

to be fair, you were at V which i dont think is famous for its great crowds.

seen them at the corn exchange in edinburgh in 05 and it was great what i remember of it. also at T in 05 at the nme stage and its one of the best things ive seen at a fest.

I saw Prodigy at Bixton academy in 03 & Download 06 both times I was on the barrier right at the front and they gave one of the best shows I have ever seen. They have a live drummer Live guitars and Liam does not play records he has keyboards and other digital equipment to make the music as live as possible. With Keith and maxim providing vocals and generally making sure the crowd is going mental.

[the_mars_volta]

It sucks if Manson is pushed down to 3rd headliner, I liked his last two albums and think he deserves to be higher. Perhaps they can move him to subheadliner for Friday underneath Faith No More, because he is definitely a bigger draw than Korn.

theramm, you are very very wrong... when i saw the Prodigy in Leeds at '02 it was NOT just a guy playing records, amazingly dance acts sometimes have guitarists and drummers and things! and the 'guy playing records' is actually using keyboards and synths and decks and all the dance stuff i don't properly understand!

and at Download in '06, i couldn't even see them, i was outside cos it was so rammed, and still an unbelieveble show.

they will be MINT this year!

[Sparticus]

Thing is i saw prodigy at v05, and they had the live drummers and guitarists as well as liam, keith and maxim. As for the crowd, it was completely mental i started off at the front and had to work my way back about 5 times everyone was moving so much. The atmosphere is something else, and this is from someone who was relatively sober

[Spiral_Low]

It's a stupid argument about Prodigy. Obviously they are bigger amongst the population as a whole, but download isn't about the population as a whole, it's about metal and alternative, in which case Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Korn etc are either equally or more popular.

You're probably missing knowlege on dance music and a bit of open mindedness
