[kj] Reason makes perfect sense

[johnny bongo]

the thing with M Coles aside (that is outrageous and WRONG, nuff sed)
perhaps they just want a few years of making as much money as they can - retirement fund type thing, cant hold that against them.  in 5 years i doubt they will still be doing Killing Joke, i maybe wrong, but i doubt it, this just seems to be the final cash grab, good on them.

I  reckon  this Motley tour  is  just part of the grand plan to
edge  Killing  Joke towards the more conservative metal market.
Another  part  of  the  plan is  to break  away from the band's
origins,  the long term fans, the 80s associations and striking
off  a  fine  artist.  His images are probably too camp for the
metallers, that being a compliment.



As xxxxxxxx  said at the beginning, it's business and if you're
a  normal  investor  you're  going to go for the more lucrative
option rather than what's to your taste. Makesyer sick though.



But  in  the end it's the music that matters, not the branding,
and if  the  new  CD is  a real, authentic KJ record I'll stick
around.

  new bands is the proper groundwork for a new audience.
  Whoever's idea this is must have their head stuck real
  deep in the sand. Inside a bubble. On top of a tower.
  Far away from reality.
