[kj] Kerrang! (Kerrcrap!) Review of KJ Forum gig

[Brendan Quinn]

Fear not Marquis de Sade. Read comrade Greg's and other frontline
operatives' reports (hold SHIT his apostrophes are FLAWLESS)

 

You, comrade, need to concentrate on coming to the gig with enough energy to
ENSURE a fuckin good night. If it's not happening, MAKE IT FUCKING
HAPPEN.that's my vibe, whether I'm on my own, or (preferably) some cohorts /
minions / lackeys / henchmen.

 

My attitude is - they HAVE to be on their game in Auckland. They're playing
before Bongo and I on June 22, and nothing less than full
JAZ-STEROIIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!!!! will suffice. And I think they know that.
They've been keeping us out in the cold forever so they've got to tear the
fuckin place up. 

 

Off to Black Sabbath in a second! Bucket List! Shihad opening and apparently
they've decided to stop sucking shit, according to reviews from Sat.

 

Oh what a shame they haven't made up and agreed to open for Killing Joke on
June 22. That'd be fuckin CHOICE.

 

Best Sabbath cover EVER:

Bongo -keep twisting my arm for Buzzcocks fella..it might happen. But shit
you gotta start turning up to some metal gigs you punk scumbag.

 

\w/ or whatever

 

"Rockets burning blah blah BLAH BLAH BLAH" (only Sabbath lyrics I remember
;p)

2 bands. I agree. 

 

 

            Are the KJ live vids of the 2013 dates at all representative of
the actual live performances?? Cuz I saw like 12 or so and they're not doing
the "brand" (or the band) any good. Someone please confirm/disconfirm
whether this tour is worth seeing, or should I wait** for the proverbial
"next" album "our greatest one yet" which no doubt is due out "next year."

 

            Though I like lots Jaz's plain-face long-hair jeans/tshirt-look
(cuz it reminds all fuzzy-like of the 90s grunge which me luvs) they're
looking and sounding, um, not quite up to the notch on the wall I'v always
had of them. 

 

 

            So, Jaz, baybee: muffin'top and sagging relaxed-fit jeans ain't
a good idea on second thought. Stop it. Being accompanied by Captain
Yacht-Rock himself Christopher Cross and a heavily sedated Johann the diesel
engineer from aboard Das Boot on guitars, well that leaves only Big Paul
making any real sense/"viel Spass" or "mach'
Show"(beatles..Hamburg..ahfuggetaboutit). 

 

            Even then, I so wanna see Big Paul pound the shit out of the
drums with some Revelations stuff for once before I die.

    others all are just a..

was it Jaz who said that the most striking thing about a killing joke gig
was the reaction of the crowd to their music-or words to that effect...

in the mosh pit this has got more muted every year and at its worst at the
Forum gig.

taking Rob's point if I had written songs like darkness before
dawn/struggle/nightime/solitude/termite mound/for the love of the
masses/judas goat/universe b/fresh fever/depth charge/colony
collapse/poleshift etc -i would want to play these every night, but to my
knowledge they've never even played 4 of these songs live.

 

To me now Killing Joke have become 2 bands-the studio band peerless writing
songs like colony collapse/poleshift in their 33rd? year and after the
singles tour the live band which needs a nudge.

 

I thought the gig I saw on the 2012 tour in Bristol was really good, some of
the gigs on the Absolute Dissent tour were good such as the Fleece and Rock
City but you have to go back to 2005 in my opinion to say that they were
really on it with Raven and Benny.

 

I'd like to see Jah Wobble play gigs with Killing Joke. The only time I've
seen him it blew my mind at the Astoria 2 playing for the Damage Manual.Ok
he did spend most of the gig sitting on a sofa with his back to the audience
but he added an extra dimension which made up for that Scottish Wanker

I get the feeling "Asteroid" would be a lot of fun to play ... but i think
it could stand to be retired for a little while (just my opinion, mind you).

"This World Hell" is a bad song. There, i said it.

 

Couldn't agree more, shame as there's that really great bit in it.

I wonder if they just like playing it. I can imagine it being fun to play.
