[kj] album sales

[nicholas fitzpatrick]

Album sales will not budge next year because Killing Joke are bound to be 
upstaged live by Motley Crue and will sink into invisibility alongside such 
a band that easily rates as one of the best live bands in the entire world, 
ever. I mean, KJ should have chosen a sh*t band to play alongside. What were 
the boys thinking? Next to Motley Crue, they don't stick a chance. No-one 
does. :)

Anyway, obviously I'm not being serious there, but on a serious note, even 
if the Motley gigs do raise Killing Joke's profile, I really don't like the 
idea of turning up to future KJ gigs and seeing the venue over-run with 
hairspray rockers, waving their lighters to 'You'll Never Get to Me'.
