[kj] Barfly fight - pit fodder

I don't believe Killing Joke have ever been a band that were keen on non-invited invididuals joining them onstage. I remember a gig at the Limelight circa PANDEMONIUM, and Geordie kicked some off as they jumped (and, if memory serves, flicked it cigarette at him).

do crap for brain musicians come to your place of work - jump up on your 
desk and expect a lollipop for it?!

i wasn't there but if someone gets on stage and doesn't make a swift 
effort to do their stage dive or show booby, then any band knows someone 
who jumps onstage is a threat, to the outrageously expensive gear - the 
livelihood, the performance and anyone else just doing their job. feel 
free to go for it but if you stay too long or interfere then don't 
complain when your teeth are knocked in.
