Basically they've said a bunch of twat things over the years but we all
have. Perhaps they didn't mean it and were just winding journos up, and
is probably half the reason they never got consistent commercial
success.

That aside, some interesting source material in the blog. I liked this interview from OTG era.

Well, that's clearly an alarmist blog entry, but it's no mystery that Killing Joke have said a few disreputable things over the years (witness Jaz's comments in the FIRE DANCES-era clip at St.Paul's Cathedral).
That all said, anyone who misses the irony in the fabled "pope pic" is something of an idiot. A Killing Joke indeed.

Killing Joke are quoted quite a bit in this blog article. I wonder how much of that was actually said by KJ, and how much was made up by journalists?
