[kj] London gig (set list included)

[Javier Garcia]

Majestic is ok, a pretty nice vibe on it, but Gratitude is just too long for me. I can't understand why they only play two tracks of the new album, and i just can't explain why Gratitude is one of them. If it was a three minute track -instead of seven- it would be fine (but not great), it's such a long and slow song that it turns boring to me. Slow-heavy tracks do not fill my Killing Joke needs, i like more energetic tracks; still think the best track is 'Walking With Gods', it's energetic and has a great beat.
Whatever! I'm still jealous of you Gatherers going to a KJ gig!!... cheers!
