"-b) a way of saying sorry for the whole "Eighties" "Come as you are" fiasco"

   Who was saying sorry to who?
Just after killing joke decided to sue Nirvana,Cobain blew his brains out.Was being sued by your favourite band the last straw?
   As Killing Joke have plagiarize some tunes in their time(As well as using Crowleys lyrics)Some may regard it as business,Some may regard it as hypocrisy,As I recall just after KJ issued the writ Jaz said hes" not after an apology,He's after their money".

 > He saw that killing Joke were nt pulling in any new punters,It was just the same dwindling hard-core fanbase.The last album sold less than 100 000.If KJ received $1per album sale,thats US$100 000,say 10 000 for Dave grohl,10 000 for the producer.That leaves $80 000,divide by four,$20 000 each.An album every seven years,thats less than US$3000 income per annum.
 
 
 I may be wrong, but I believe that Grohl appeared for free. The two reasons being a) he is a massive KJ fan b) a way of saying sorry for the whole "Eighties" "Come as you are" fiasco.
