And a returning one at that, one that revalidates what Killing Joke really is 
all over again.

What does this mean? I am trying to decode it in 2 other languages but I keep 
coming up with the same filthy onclusion.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Big Paul was ready to rejoin the fold 
some years ago (possibly as long ago as Pandemonium?) but turned it down due to 
the paltry sum of money he was offered for the job.

I remember there was a kerfuffle on the 2003 tour with some members of the band 
on different pay arrangements to others. You'd think though with the original 
line-up back together they'd have put that nonsense behind them. It just doesn't 
seem right. Maybe in a democracy some members are more equal than others (and 
pocket all the dosh for their lousy production!). Will we ever really know the 
full story? Probably not.

You'd think a founding band member would deserve a little more respect....or at 
least an equal share.
Does Jaz also dish out different job descriptions. Maybe Paul would earn more if 
he made the tea, and provided the skins?
