Yep, it's a bit old and there's more in Mark Burgess's bio book  "View 

>From A Hill" which is out in paper back now.  I saw the copy  the other night 

when Mark Burgess was DJing at this place in Hollywood called  Kung Pao 
Kitty, very cool looking. I read the hardcover when it came out 2  years ago and 
really enjoyed it. You should get it if you are a big Chameleons  fan or not 
have read it, for it is an interesting read and has some great  stories.

We have been hanging with Mark Burgess lately while he has been in LA and  
he is a real nice guy  plus he says he still likes Killing Joke. :) Music  
wise I gather. ;)

Was  browsing through the Chameleons site and came across this anecdote of 
the  Joke... anyone familiar with this?  
On a note about the song Paper Tigers, it reads:
 
Notes by Mark - During our early  touring, back in the days when we had 'an 
agent' (gasp!!) we found  ourselves, courtesy of 'Wasted Talent' down to 
support Killing Joke in  Leicester. We arrived on time ready to sound check. 
KJ arrived four and a  half hours late and we couldn't check until they had, 
very boring but no  problem. That is until we started our sound check. I 
plugged my bass in,  played a few notes to make sure everything was working and 
the sound guy  shouted "ok, good, now guitar." I started laughing and 
looked at Dave and he  did the same thing, struck a single chord to make sure the 
leads were  working and we got another "great, thanks" from the sound 
engineer. We  started shouting at them that we wanted a proper sound-check, not a 
line  check and they told us that there just wasn't time due to the 
lateness of  Killing Joke's arrival. Things escalated and, noticing the band at the 
side  of the stage, drawn by the commotion, Dave and I unstrapped our 
guitars and  ran at them. Fortunately for them their crew managed to stop us 
before we  got to them. We told them all to fuck off and blew out the gig. Later 
a  spokesman for the band came over and apologised and hoped we'd play the 
rest  of the gigs with them but we told them were to go. Paper Tigers came 
from  that  basically.
