[kj] Killing Joke: Clash influenced?

I think Strummer also has a certain guttural growl that I can see how Jaz would feed off it, but
I only have the 2-cd Story Of The Clash so maybe I'm missing something.

Btw, 5.9 quake, and again in the D.F.?!  I don't think I will complain of L.A. again.
Stay safe.

Subject: [kj] Killing Joke: Clash influenced?

Today i gave a listen to some Clash tunes here at work, and after listening a couple of times "The Magnificent Seven" it was evident to me that Jaz has some Joe Strummer influence in his singing. It's not the first time i think about this, but today after listening this song carefully I found some very familiar shoutings/screams, you know, the ones that go between the verses, some sort of "encouraging" choirs/screams by Joe Strummer. Those are pretty similar to the ones that you can find on songs by Killing Joke, let's say Pssyche (actually is it Pssyche or Psychee!?!?). 

What do you think? 

Nice weekend

Just experienced a 5.9 Richter earthquake a coupe of hours ago. 
No damages thankfully.)
