I have been trying to figure out why the song Firestarter by Prodigy is heavier than any metal song ever written.I cant figure if its the heavier more aggressive sounding drums, the fact they made the lyrics actually understandable and focused on the attitude of what the lyrics say or the fact that the band looks like they would kick the shit out of any metal band.Why is it so /mu?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmin5WkOuPw&ab_channel=TheProdigy
try listening to more metal and more dance music before posting again
>>122709844what dance music is heavier than prodigy?
>>122709782I heard a version of this the other day where it was sang by someone like the ratpack. Frank's second name is eluding me lmfao. Brain fog. Anyone know who was singing it? Sounded cool. Love the original track too. It's not that heavy it's just put together well and the video accompanies the music well, giving it the hard, horror feel.
>>122709852Ummm 5ive, slam dunk da funk is heavy as fuck>put it in and pull it out>slaaam dunk ya mum
It's because they're British
>>122709782its hearing lower class Midlands accents. Same phenomonon as Sleaford mods
>>122709782WDYM it's more funky than metal imo fr dog.
>>122710273>Midlands accents.he's from london/essex
>>122709782Sounds like it’s from run Lola run
it's disrespectful to the american flag
>>122709782You have low testosterone and were likely born the wrong gender. That's the answer
>>122712058amerifats will say anything when they see a britbong being cool for 3 minutes
It’s the drums.See: Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy, also from that era.
No song in the world bumps on car speakers like this one thoughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCM_4J6xdKg&list=PLfRyXvmYdZTrgSKBqCTme9fUFgE1VlEXU&index=3
>>122713867that was the first song i played in high school after installing a sub in my hoopty. what a time to be alive
>>122713890based
>>122709782It isn't. You sound like one of those people who has a retarded notion of what heavy is.
>>122709782it was the culmination of a cool 2 year period after Jilted where their live show became legendary and they started headlining a lot of big euro festivals and could bring all the tribal subcultures present (metalheads, punks, indie kids, ravers, normies etc) together for a wild party.It was a different crowd than the dance scene they came up in, more moshpit than dancefloor. Firestarter was made specifically for that big festival moshpit crowdhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inu0xeteuxg
>>122710092>someone like the ratpack. Frank's second name is eluding me lmfaolike Frank Sinatra?One I can think of is Torre Florim from De Staat's versionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPI3b9iPSN0
>>122709782based and true
>>122709782i don't know when it comes to electronic music but industrial metal has so much aggressive songs than that lol
>dancer is the most popular band member
>>122714132Nooo it’s not heavy unless some spoilt kid is screaming into his microphone while his other spoilt friend bangs his feet as fast as possible against his expensive drum kit. You are the one who needs to learn what heavy is…
>>122716031>listens to trap once
>>122709782I don't agree with Firestarter being heavier than any metal song—mainly because I think any of the other Flint-featured songs from that album are heavier. But there's still some truth behind your impression. Many metal subgenres aim for a heavy, but crude, and purposefully dirty sound that overwhelms the listener, in a similar way to how noise music "electrocutes" your brain. By contrast, The Prodigy carry their sound carefully and make sure the harsh textures don't obstruct elements like the bassline or the drums. They still achieve that rough sound they yearn for, but in a more friendly manner. Moreover, since the production is nice, your ears don't get tired of their sound as quickly, which means you can then replay it repeatedly and don't get sick of it. Finally, Flint's personality, along with Howlett's ear for catchy tunes, assure The Prodigy's massive success at making people lose their minds on the dance floor.
>>122716740Okay chatgpt
>>122710296I cant make out the difference in brit accents. All I can distinguish is Cockney, Geordie or Norf FC. Everything else I lump into Midlands.
>>122717090Hmmmm... Maybe I should ask ChatGPT if my text was too robotic.
so what industrilal/electronic whatever genre to listen if i want something similar to Breathe?
>>122716740Couldn’t agree more.
>>122717625Also metal is just copying and all sounds cliche, prodigy was original, it’s so much heavier when it’s a band creating its own new sound.
>>122717126it's scottish, upper class english and lower class english that's all that matters >oi gov wot bout my particular accent m8?it's one of the three.
>>122716031legit stupid post
>>122709782did this guy die recently?did he have some sobriety thing?
>>122717925Yes he was legit hardcore type of guy so lived a rough life which is also part of what makes it so much heavier than some spoilt rich kid in his metal band.
>>122718187fuck off cunt dick with your poseur posts
>>122709782it isn't
>>122717725>prodigy was original>>122716031>>122718187these kind of begrudging remarks show more interest on the person than on the music itself. Sad
>>122718231>>122718276>>122718295Why does it bother you so much that metal bands are fake posers who don’t actually live hard lives and when it gets pointed out people in other genres live much harder lives you get fully triggered?
I remember there was a video breaking down all the samples that went into making one of their songs. Absolute kino. https://youtu.be/eU5Dn-WaElI?si=gRWjNvjZqw0BxZKHListened to the song my entire life and had no idea they were sampling Rage
>>122718517Also it’s impossible to write actual heavy music unless you lived a hard life which is why the only metal band that could actually anything heavy was black sabbath. Prodigy is still heavier than them though as they could add in a wider sonic array of sounds due to technological progress.
>>122718571Holy shit, mind=blown, how the fuck do you come up with mixing all those random parts of such different songs, fuck with them so much and end up with something so amazing. No wonder nobody else sounds like the prodigy, their main writer is a freak.
