[edit] Appearance?

This article makes it seem like he is only a guest for The Prodigy.

Do not agree. The first sentence "Keith Flint (born 27 March 1969) is a member of the British hard dance/rave band The Prodigy" surely describes that he is a member. cun 18:38, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Controversial?!

The music video for Firestarter was not controversial at all.

• The mass media had an outcry for it being "evil" and such. Maybe it was. Although SMBU was a lot more controversial. cun 11:02, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

• Yes, a female firefighter had died in an arson attack on a supermarket around the time that the video was gaining some notoriety, and some of the UK newspapers tried to make a connection. I seem to remember it being referred to as the most frightening video TOTP had ever played? Amusingly, two of the biggest UK tabloids decided that Keith 'The Firestarter' could be a good front-page splash, and decided to investigate him to see what they could dig up. Everyone they talked to, from neighbours to girlfriends to promoters to pensioners that lived near him had only good things to say about him! Realising that he's a really nice bloke and the image is mainly for his great stage presence, they had no story. You've got to laugh at that one, they obv thought they'd dig up 'he's a drug taking abusive yob' and ended up with 'he likes gardening and often runs the local OAPs up to the hospital when he's at home'! Ace guy, Flint were good too. --The globetrotter 18:50, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] False Information

In 2002 the single "Baby's Got a Temper" was released. It was heavily influenced by Flint's punk style, which lead to Howlett later discrediting the song as representing The Prodigy.

The reason for Howlett discrediting the track is due to XL records forcing Liam to come up with new material. Liam felt the track was brought out to satisfy the label rather than satisfying himself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Issueskid (talk • contribs) 13:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
