[kj] [OT] Paris attack.

[Alexander Smith]

The name of the band is ironic (one fleeting listen to their music ought to clear that up) and ultimately incidental. One could argue that the very name KILLING JOKE has the same problematic ramifications.

If anything, I think the band was chosen due to their nationality, not their name.

I have no liking for the band, but I could easily sympathize with anyone who felt that they couldn't go on working with that name and those associations. Bands like Pink Floyd and Die Toten Hosen have had a hard enough time dealing with accidental deaths are their gigs, but this is entirely different. The closest would I suppose be the Great White fire, but again, that was still accidental.
