[kj] KJ Is In My Blood : a message from BPF

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

Killing Joke without Big Paul is a much-reduced thing.  Still magnficent, of course, but...

Shame the rest of the band don't seem to realise it.  Tours should be arranged to ensure that Big Paul can be there.

Dear Stephane, 
hanks for your messages. I now understand that the tour was booked 
deliberately,in advance of a new release and will go ahead
egardless of whether I participate or not.This is apparently the new strategy 
or creating interest in the album.As we all know the
ast was appallingly promoted and despite its critical acclaim has sold poorly.
 personally have every intention of recording the new album and am very excited 
o do so. I also have every intention of doing the
our(s) next year although I have to re iterate,March is the very worst time for 
e to leave my business.

 would like to extend my gratitude to you and all the Gatherers for their 
upport. Killing Joke is in my blood . Always has been.
Best wishes.

Appreciate you forwarding this to the list, Stephane.
Encouraging to hear from the man himself about his position in regards to his 
urrent status in the band.  However it is extremely
rustrating that the Jaz, Geordie and Youth don't make these sort of things 
lear when they go and bring in a new drummer for a tour
r whatever.  Also sounds like they need to better consider Paul's input when 
aking plans almost a year in advance. I would think
ouring just about *anywhere* in March for a band like Killing Joke isn't the 
est part of the year to drive around Europe or North
merica.
Paul's a crucial member of the band and the last album and last couple year's 
orth of shows he played with KJ reflect that fact.
T.B.
