[kj] Prong go disco / KJ @ ATP review

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

Yeah, I could live without hearing Requiem for a while.

They've had some great openers down the years - very appropriate for the album being toured.  I think my all-time favourite opener was Money Is Not Our God (which they used on at least some of the Extremities-era gigs, i.e. when they weren't using Termite).  Honourable mentions go to Twilight of the Mortal - exactly the right amount of bombast for the Brighter Than A Thousand Suns tour - and Communion.

Well, this fan would vote for The Hum (or Termite Mound at a push) as their best set opener. No question.

 

I want to hear less Requiem / Wardance / Wait / Pssyche and more Intravenous / Victory / Chapter III / Judas Goat for a bit.

 

Can’t complain about Butcher or Unspeakable, though. Tension. Tension again, please.

Respect to him !!!



 



Looky here for a review from KJ @ ATP: http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4136820



 



"If you were to ask any Killing Joke fan
 in the room for the best couplet to start the set, most wouldn’t disagree with ‘Requiem’ and ‘Wardance’. Jaz Coleman meanwhile strikes a menacing pose, like a mystical uncle with the shared genetics of Trent Reznor and Alice Cooper. Geordie’s guitar sounds are simply euphoric, an original underrated master whose inspiration holds no boundaries, while the tribal rhythms of Paul Ferguson coupled with Youth’s elegant dubbed-up basslines are a joy to behold, none more so than on ‘Turn To Red’ or ‘Psyche’s frenzied assault which causes the Centre Stage’s dancefloor to erupt as one sweaty mass. Simply awesome, from start to finish."



 



Sounds like they did a good job ;)

I understand Jaz is also a fan of Boney M and Abba.
A friend witnessed him dancing and singing along to dancing queen ;)

There were a couple of blokes in there - Nile Rodgers is a legendary guitarist these days. Bit of a rhythm monster!
