[kj] Killing Joke: Clash influenced?

[GREG SLAWSON]

I sort of see what you're saying, but I don't think there is any direct influence of Strummer on Jaz. Aside from the somewhat horse voices, the styles, feel, and attitudes of the 2 singers if different. It's sort of like that term in biology for organisms that have parts that serve similar funtions, but have different evolutionary origins...

how very dare you!!!




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?
