[kj] Killing Joke Playing Download Festival

[pssyche23]

Yeah, I think I was just showing my age ... intolerant crowds of the past 
and all that ... I've seen the recent bills for Download and the attitude 
there is a lot more open to musical diversity ... I'd just echo Bob's 
response about the general feeling around here is one of disappointment that 
KJ (just like in times past) seem to be snatching defeat from the jaws of 
victory at a time when we were expected a glorious assault after hearing 
some rough mix HFTBOH MP3's at the turn of the year ... we can only assume 
that a temporary bassist is frantically learning the new album plus a 
selection of back catalogue, prior to the first show in Luxembourg on 15th 
April 2006, otherwise it is 1996 all over again ... no disrepect to Troy 
Gregory (ex-Prong) ... he did a sterling job BUT the few European shows KJ 
did play only featured a couple of new album tracks (then Savage Freedom and 
Aeon, though Intellect was aired in Hamburg) ... and therefore the feeling 
one was of slight disappointment when I caught them at the Paradiso ... 
which spawned that "Lanterns Of Dope" bootleg ... anyway, I'n sure they'll 
put it off this time ...
