[kj] New Topic-Best Drummer

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

Atkins is reckoned on being great technically, but I'm not qualified to judge.  He certainly turned in some great performances as per the recent video of Age of Greed.

Anyway, I first saw KJ in '83 (Fire Dances tour) and a fair bit since, so I guess I've seen every KJ drummer, and for me no one has come close to Big Paul.  If I had to choose one band member who epitomises Killing Joke, I'd say it's him.

I believe that he had significant input in writing the music (including at least some of the lyrics to pssyche, apparently) and live he was awesome.

It's good that he's back, it's good that he's back, hello, hello...

Drum for Killing Joke- whose the best and should it be judged solely on drumming or song writing contribution?fuck me if i know... but i know who the best live drummers are (bearing in mind i didn't see BPF before the last tour as i first saw the joke in jan 91
