[kj] Unacceptable

[Karen Weil]

Again, I'm not thrilled about the situation. And yes, I want them to "get their act together" as much as anyone else does. 
For the moment, I'm reserving judgement about this particular situation.

  I beleive that that is where the problem lies . 
  The band need to realise that they HAVE to get their act together.
  The band need to realise that without people buying their albums and without people buying their concert tickets, there would be no point in them existing .
    At this point in their career, Killing Joke need their supporters much more than their supporters need Killing Joke .
