Some real Killing Joke
Instead of more long-lost but now-found music, I'm going to follow up the past two posts of pretend Killing Joke with some real Killing Joke. After the gothic beauty and mainstream appeal of 1985's Night Time, Killing Joke went into decline. But in 1990 they came back with a vengeance with Extremities, Dirt, and Various Repressed Emotions, adding Martyn Atkins--the industrial drummer--to the line-up. My first knowledge of the new album was seeing the video for "Money Is Not Our God" at the old 9:30 Club, and it just seethed with energy. Jaz Coleman's snarl at the beginning is practically blood-curdling; try not to notice how much he looks like Eugene Levy:
"Success defined by acquisition STINKS!"
