[kj] TOH

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

I bought a best of TOH album in, er, 1984, and was very taken with Westworld, the rest of it was pretty good, but given that it was "best of", it wasn't mind-blowingly great.
I never saw them live, but did see SOD at a festival in 1985... I wasn't particularly impressed.
I like Never Take Me Alive though.
Jamie (hard to please in the mid-80's, apparently)

I was a big Theatre Of Hate fan back in the day, and although I didn’t quite stay with Spear Of Destiny (like I did with Killing Joke) I’ve seen TOH plenty of times over the years as Kirk juggles between TOH & SOD tours (and more recently cranking up his earlier The Pack venture again) - despite a well documented health issue Kirk’s voice remains uniquely tremendous & I thoroughly recommend you see them - the line up should be Kirk & bassist Stan Stammers,  Chris Bell who drummed on Grapes Of Wrath (1st SOD album, though pretty much all TOH songs), on guitar Adrian Portas who does both TOH & SOD gigs with either original John Boy Lennard on sax or Clive Osborne ... here’s a version of the old classic Legion I filmed a few years ago : https://youtu.be/SHVlR8P4uxA

Any opinions on theater of hate live? They are playing a show with some version of the chameleons and the singer version of Gene loves Jezebel. Theater of hate is completely unknown in the US but I bet they would be interesting to check out.
