<P><BR>&nbsp;For almost six long grueling years of waiting for Killing Joke's re-appearnce and its finally the YEAR OF THE JOKE. Having to put up with nothing but commercialized crap on the airwaves and Killing Joke is here to set everyone Straight!!! </P>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dave Grohl does an excellent job of filling Killing Joke's drummer's shoes. Just recieved the Death and Resurrection MP3 and it rocks!!!!! I haven't been this excited since 1994 "PANDEMONIUM!!" . I will never forget my experience of seeing them&nbsp; play in Seattle. Hopefully I'll have another opportunity to see them play in Seattle again.</P>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As a designer, I have been greatly inspired by Killing Joke's music, genre, and messages of being alert in what is going on in the world!!!&nbsp; </P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Funny, the only other mention of KJ in the whole mag is in the Flint 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;interview when Youth gets a mention for producing his new LP.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; After recently buying my first ever copy of Kerrang (whilst aged 38), it 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; looks like my first ever copy of Metal Hammer is to follow shortly. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Yes, the famous intro tape. I'm not sure who's it was but not too 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;difficult 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; to recreate - take one part "When The Revolution Comes" by The Last Poets, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; add a touch of DAF's "Der Mussolini" then the next one's a bit tricky in 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; these PC times - "Leader Of The Gang" by Gary Gliitter (don't forget, he's 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; not adverse to touching little kids) - maybe drop that in favour of a more 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; recent stomper, something like Basement Jaxx's "Where's Your Head At" 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;with 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; "Booids" as the cherry on top. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Then again, I'm sure the band have their own plans ... "Force &amp; Fire" was 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; another good intro for KJ. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Regards, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;and the Joke's intro music starts (whatever it'll be this time), 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; I'd love them to bring back Booids for this tour .... 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; Totally agree with Jamie about the rest (apart from the Metal Hammer 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; thing, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; I'd never stoop that low) :o)

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; OK, having humiliated myself in a newsagent by asking if they had 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Metal 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Hammer ("of course sir, are you buying that for your daughter?") I 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; thought 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I'd share the info with y'all. You know you want me to. (And no, the 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;guy 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in the newsagent didn't actually say that about my daughter, but I 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; reckon 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; he was thinking it.) 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Killing Joke 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 'Asteroid' 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Who are they? Only one of the most influential post-punk bands of the 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; last 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; twenty years. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Musical Style: Industrial punk, tapping into the zeitgeist of wanton 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; rebellion. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Also: Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl originally intended to play drums on 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;just 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; three tracks of Joke's eponymously titled new album, but loved it so 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; much 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; that he did the whole thing! Amazing drumming. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Taken from the album 'Killing Joke' out July 28th on Zuma. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I've listened to the whole cd, and what strikes me is that Killing 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Joke 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; actually sound like they belong on the cd. They're loads better than 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; other stuff (of course!!!) but I suspect they may hit the jackpot with 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; the 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; metal kids. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Asteroid rocks, by the way. Driving, grinding Killing Joke. Listening 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;to 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; it I can clearly see the heaving, sweaty mob. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I cannot fuckin' wait. Killing Joke are back, and there is going to be 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; big 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; trouble down the front. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Hahaha. So I'll be standing at the bar with a shandy. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I have got this feeling, which I haven't had for so long I'd forgotten 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; quite what it's like: The feeling that the perfect fusion of rage, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;joy, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; beauty, conquest is upon us again. It will be at its height in those 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; last 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; few seconds as the sound system fades out mid-track, and the Joke's 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; intro 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; music starts (whatever it'll be this time), and suddenly you're 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;pushing 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; your way further forward, grinning at the crowd around you, and you 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;see 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the same light in their eyes... and then for an hour we'll lose 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; ourselves. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; It's good to be back... hahahaha. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
