Who likes Killing Joke? (1 Viewer)

I remember getting the Pandemonium album in the late 90s and loving it. I forgot how much I loved it and got in to deathmetal and blackmetal.

These guys are amazing. 

Its helped me connect with the woman I love. She grew up in the 80s and loves Joy Division and New Order And Killing Joke just bridges the gap.

Every song just reminds me of how much I love her.

I thought you were on the older woman that grew up with swing music. 

Is this a different one?

Wow you really are bored with your life tonight Binky

ill bite anyway

Yeah it’s the same woman I’ve been talking about for a while. She’s older than me but not old enough to know swing music ( I.E long dead).

I think my brother still has the comics.  I was bummed when they killed Jason Todd honestly.  Oh well.

[Osaurus]

Awesome band, mediocre thread.

 

[Conanthecontrarian]

Didn't Metallica cover that in the first Garage Days?

Might be a bit overrated, but classic Moore, and the format was the first of it's kind. Well, maybe that was Ronin by Miller, but you get my drift.

Could be that I just read it a few months ago and it didn't live up to the hype. Probably better when it first came out.

dave navarro probably fantasizes about playing in KJ though.

That took me a second and then I almost spit up my water.

Awhile meaning like two months?

We’ve been together on and off for over 3 years

he's such a hack. dude was the host of that competition show "Rock Star" a few years back. they were trying to find a "replacement" for Hutchence from INXS. he was all "namaste" and crap. when he went to RHCP, i remember how surprised they were by his affection for metal.

I remember that not working in the least. I think I'm one of the few people that are a bit adventurous in music (nothing like Eephus or others) that likes both first-run Jane's and RHCP, but that album was garbage.

But I thought you were making fun of our friend Rok here, who threatened to leave the board when his thread turned into a Jane's/RHCP debate.

nah, i have had Rok on ignore for a couple of years now. i don't have anything against JA. they have their moments and i can respect that. RHCP peaked, for me, at "Mother's Milk" and went downhill from there. i think Navarro is just terrible but is the kind of rough trade that some fans like.

I'm a Killing Joke fan. I caught them at the Empty Bottle in Chicago a few years ago. Tiny bar that holds like 400. Still put on a great show. Youth put out a KJ "dub" album in 2014 that is well worth a listen if a fan of the genre.

 

[Eephus]

Jaz Coleman's symphonic works are worth a listen.  They're completely different from his Killing Joke catalog.

stop it.

Big fan back in the mid to late 90's when running around goth and industrial bars in Chicago.

Janes was great for me when I was in HS and immediately after. Loved the first three records.   It just hasnt aged well at all for me. I try to revisit every couple years and It just feels and sounds really 80s LA, and I don't mean that as a compliment.   

Never really got into PfP.
