[Dirk Kingerske]

killing joke? don't they have a gaythering behind them....




'Laugh I Nearly Bought One' which features 
catholic dignitaries.... at least this site is ill-informed as well... the man saluting the brown shirts is an abbot of the German Christians (kind of Protestant) whose name has just escaped me...

Killing Joke: Official
 Okay
 so in case it is not absolutely clear, Killing Joke have zero 
intolerance to any way of life that does not cause harm to others. I 
cannot honestly believe that in the year 2012 ANYONE would have an issue
 with peoples sexuality, race or or disability come to that. Killing 
Joke have always been a tool that is designed to poke fun at authority, 
greed stupidity not strip normal people of any creed and kind of their dignity. 
 

 Without wishing to stoop to the level of some of 'Some our best friends
 are gay' etc, it really shouldn't come as much surprise to anyone that 
scrapes below the surface, that this band was born out of the 
countercultural movements (good and bad) and the kind of clubs where ANY
 degree of misguided prejudice would have been swiftly dealt with. 
 

 The quote that people are getting in a twist about (which will be given
 no dignity here) was printed uncredited an Zig Zag magazine 27 years 
ago and even at the time the band totally denied saying it, following up
 with their totally horror of having visited the Death Camps that year. 
The only group of people that were singled out by the band were the 
hypocrites of organised religion, again made the target of satire on the
 cover of the singles album 'Laugh I Nearly Bought One' which features 
catholic dignitaries being Nazi Saluted on the front. This was comment 
at the permissive nature of organised religion.
 
 In Summery 
 

 If anyone out there thinks that we as a band are Homophobic, Racist, 
Facist or anything of the sort and feel this is a positive FUCK RIGHT 
OFF and stay away from us
 
 Is that clear now?
