[kj] band squabbles, feat. Killing Joke

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

Saturday's Guardian newspaper comes with a little booklet entitled The Guide, which is basically listings of gigs, TV, theatre, clubs, etc, plus some fairly short reviews and articles on those subjects.  What should I stumble across but a page about band squabbles (prompted off by the Freebass/Mani/Hook spat).  One of those featured is:

KILLING JOKE
Band squabbles are common and often surmountable but back in 1982 Killing Joke were torn asunder when frontman Jaz Coleman was unable to convince more than one band member (guitarist Geordie Walker) that moving to Iceland was the only way to survive the imminent apocalypse.  Bassist Youth did join them for a bit but returned to the UK when, despite conducting daily investigative search parties, he couldn't find any empirical evidence of the impending doomsday.
