The Prodigy is Dead, long live the Prodigy
PEOPLE Posted by Chris Withers on Wednesday September 18, @08:52AM
One of the biggest disappointments of Reading 2002, the Prodigy have decided to become a rock band. Tragedy, when the feeling's gone and you can't go on!

Now, by rock band, I mean punky shouty Keith fronting up a live drummer and live guitarist with Maxim looking like a glam rocker and Liam hiding in a mountain of strobes at the back.

Not a single tune was played off Experience, although Liam did tempt the crowd with just a hint of Out of Space, before meandering off somewhere less interesting. The obligatory, but welcome, bout of Poison followed later.

There was also a dire cover of some-tune-who's-name-I-can't remember (Dave - Help me out here!) which really felt out of place and would have shocked anyone who thought Prodigy were a dance act.

To give them their dues, the lighting and stage setup were pretty amazing and the crowd forced the atmosphere to be hot and sweaty regardless.

Still, it's a shame really, they used to be one of the few dance acts that really had the energy for a main stage performance, but they've chosen to loose the edge and drudge into mediocrity.

New album due soon? Maybe they could get hold of Johnny 'Rotten' Lydon or even dig up Sid Vicious for a truly talentless punk edge...
