[kj] Killing Joke 2003 Re-issue issue

[Brian Whitehead]

The Andy Gill version of GoF, in my opinion, was excellent and brought a
new vibe to the old songs, I managed to see them a few times. McNeice bass
playing gave the old songs another dimension I thought. John King wasn't
happy with And Gill using the GoF name.
Would I go see the Andy King version if they tour the UK? Yes.
A recent lengthy interview with John King which is worth a listen:
