“Firestarter” topped the U.K. Singles chart for 3 weeks and also peaked at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The wah-wah guitar riff in the song was sampled from The Breeders‘ song “S.O.S.”

Been on a Prodigy streak this past week. So many cool memories of listening to their songs.

RIP Keith

Thanks for sharing; this is the first time I heard of this cover!

Wow, I had to add it to my playlist ASAP.

Really well done!

This song is a cover of Firestarter by The Prodigy

This version is more slow then it was in The Prodigy’s version.

It was used in the Just Cause 3 Trailer “firestarter” and used in the intro of the game
