  Well said that man.

  And on which note, I have belatedly discovered Boris, buying
  up everything I can get my hands on. What a fucking fantastic racket.
  Anyone else?

    I really hate this fucking comment.


    Killing Joke fans come in all shapes, sizes, creeds, colors, nationalities and can all entirely disparate sensibilities and tastes while still being bona fide Killing Joke fans. In much the same way that THE BAND MEMBERS THEMSELVES claim to like such arguably dubiously-credible artists as SLIPKNOT (Raven), Van Halen (Geordie), AC/DC (Geordie), Adam & the Antz (Jaz), Yes (Big Paul Ferguson), King Crimson (Big Paul Ferguson), so too are their fans "allowed" to like other artists, regardless of their affiliation with genre.

    Moreover, all this fucking whining about talking about other bands other than the `Joke -- imagine being invited to a party at a friend's house and then being informed upon your arrival that you and the rest of the guests were ONLY ALLOWED TO DISCUSS ONE SINGLE TOPIC. It's ridiculous. You'd get bored and leave.

    At least people are bringing other names to the table. I can't speak for the rest of the list, but from discussing bands OTHER than Killing Joke all the time, I've found out about a lot of artists I may never have gotten to hear before, based on the testaments by my fellow `Jokers. If you don't like the artist being discussed, fine. Hell, you can even say so. But to tell people to stop talking about it is fucking stupid and dictatorial. 

    And at least it's music we're discussing and not fucking sports.
