I hear you brother!

If Killing Joke announced they were splitting up today I wouldn't be so
gutted.
After the low point of Jaz n Geordie + two hired hands, the original line
up getting back together and
releasing a couple of albums and managing to get through some tours is more
than I ever
hoped for. And MMXII would be a pretty fine swan song. A tour as part of
some nostalgia road show
is not what I want KJ to be. BPF has already been absent from some shows,
how long before Youth is too
busy and we're back to 2+2 again?

Bongo's comment earlier about Jaz sat by the fire on Killing Joke island...
well I hope he is, and
hope he's happy. I'd be more excited about reading his memoirs than hearing
another album to
be honest. The 'will they won't they'/'can they can't they' has become
tiring and tedious, and let's be honest,
how much longer are they are going to stay together now anyway without
killing each other?
