[kj] London venue change:

[sade1]

I second that about SSS. Quite simple but the sum of the parts is classic!


 
Blessed are the Cracked for 
  they let in the Light,
    others all are just a..
      'nother brick in the Wall

Once again, it gets back to Jaz not entirely understanding his own audience. While, YES, the Cult have inarguably slid over the line into ridiculous bombast time and again, I'd wager they have a sizable amount of fans within Killing Joke's faithful, and vice versa. Personally speaking, I love, have loved -- and will CONTINUE to love -- many of the Cult's albums. Sure, they got incredibly patchy after SONIC TEMPLE (and that's being generous), but I still count "She Sells Sanctuary" as one of the most perfectly crafted songs of all time, and I don't give a baroquely-frilly fuck if Jaz doesn't approve.

My take after reading the band’s comments is that they are pissed off with Jazhole ALWAYS FUCKING THINGS UP and they wanted to let people know that the cancellations & dramas are because of ‘The Chosen One’ and the comments about the Cult are Jaz’s rantings, not theirs.
