[kj] The scond half of Geordie's demos!!

[Christof hamille]

What I find hard to shake is that the new tracks could be stellar as Killing Joke.

First off-Geordie has every right to do a solo record.  And probably is more deserving than Jaz at this point (everyone is allowed to but I think you know what I mean).

Second-IF these tracks were to become Killing Joke the only thing that could screw it up is Jaz

Which brings me to

Third-All of Geordies demo tracks were really good (instrumentally speaking, NOT vocals and lyrics). Which makes me wonder if he is a bit of a push over in the studio.  Hosannass had some great moments that were tarnished with poor production, corny lyrics and long play times.  And it seems like I've read complaints of him with the Damage Manual tracks too.  So is the ring leader of whatever project he is working on (Jaz, Martin, etc) have that much hold over his input?

I hope not but sometimes it seems that way
