Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello mourned The Prodigy’s Keith Flint, who died on Monday by suicide, in a new Instagram post, saying that Flint and The Prodigy were one of the very few bands to ‘kick Rage Against The Machine’s ass’ at a festival.
“Rest In Peace Keith Flint. I remember meeting Keith on tour in Australia. I didn’t know he was in a band, but what a good dude. I thought he was an Australian roadie. Later that year ran into him backstage at Pinkpop and said ‘hey! Good to see you! Who you working for?’ He said ‘I’m in a band, I’m here playing.’ I said, ‘oh how nice, how was your show?’ He said, ‘we are playing after Rage. We are headlining this festival.’
I’m like, well I’m gonna check that out! One of the very few bands in history to kick Rage Against The Machine’s ass in a live setting. They were tremendous and Keith was an electric, powerful, compelling and dangerous frontman. I was very much influenced by them and continue to be. Had the great pleasure of running into Keith last summer and was reminded what a good and talented dude he was. Rest well, Firestarter. (Suicide can be prevented, you CAN get help: please go to save.org)”
