According to the lyric notes on The Chameleons website, that story (although I don't really get the lyrics and its story base but still) is the basis for the song "Paper Tigers"

I wouldn't personally say that KJ and The Chameleons were worlds apart musically personally, at least not both bands early post punk stuff, both share an urgency.....

What I find interesting though is there seems to be two sorts of KJ fans, some of us that like post punk and others that prefer rock & Industrial.

Yo, homos
I know it was mentioned aaaaages ago but I don't know if it was ever posted?
If not, here's the excerpt from Mark Burgess' autobiography that tells the tale of when The Chameleons were booked to play with Killing Joke...

It's fair to say that my 2 favourite bands from yesteryear aren't friends.
For me The Chameleons are the Yin to Killing Jokes Yang.
Neither really got the recognition or success they deserved & although poles apart musically, the influence each band has had on shaping modern guitar music is immense.


well, it's a theory...
