[kj] Killing Joke 2003 Re-issue issue

[Alexander Smith]

It’s John King (original goddamn vocalist), Hugo Motherfucking Burnham on drums (original drummer) and Sara Lee (second bass player, but no fucking slouch by any means) … and some tyke on guitar.

Oh, hang on the original singers back, so it’s a bit like Outside the Gate then. :TrollFace: and now I’ve looked into it, so is the drummer, and the second bass player, and David Pajo was always interesting, this doesn’t look too bad now you’ve made me research it.

The new guitarist is a veteran, I believe, of bands like Slint and Squirrelbait. I doubt the three other guys Andy had been working with prior to his untimely demise are especially pleased about this.

The shows are already selling out in the US, whereas Gill's version was not in the years before he died. If there's one band that can live one with the only original member being the guitarist, it's GOF!
