I think they took Nivana to court because Smells Like Teen Spirit sounds SO much like Eighties. The upshot was that Dave Greohl played drums on their second eponymous album 'Killing Joke' in a out 2003 (maybe 2006?).

Not a big fan of Ghroul (sp?) but it's a fucking brilliant album anyway.

War Dance isn’t the name of an album.

First 2 albums are excellent (Killing Joke and What’s this for?). Night time is a more accessible mainstream classic. They turned a bit shit for a few years but came back in the 90’s with the heavy classic Pandemonium. I haven’t heard their latest stuff - might give it a try.

Maybe Killing Joke went under your radar because they went seriously off the rails for a few years after Night Time, mainstream fame didn't suit them.

Nowadays they are on a different plane to other bands who have been going for decades. They have stood the test of time and are definitely not a nostalgia act. Jaz Coleman's intensely paranoiac focus on the future of our species is hitting harder than ever in today's world.

Re: A question for Killing Joke aficianodos

Possibly my favourite band of all time.

Been going to see them for 40 years including last September at Subterrania when Jazz Coleman passed out on stage. It was fucking HOT!

Ant, I'll give you some of my favourite songs and I suggest you youTube them and the lyrics. In no particular order:

First off, Seeing Red. 'They're dropping bombs again, and they're doing it in your name. Kiss the arse of Uncle Sam, oh to be an Englishman'.

Dark Forces. 'Get up, wake up, someone's taking you for a ride'.

European Super State. A thing Joke do better than any other band, mix in a bit of Disco with their industrial sound. Also see Follow The Leaders, the first song I ever heard with a drum machine AND a live drummer.

Their PROPER end of days stuff is superb, Glitch, Asteroid, Silent Weapons For A Quiet War, FEMA Camp, Pandemonium, Loose Cannon, Tension, the list goes on.

One of the most influential bands ever.

medway - Their followup to 'Night Time' didn't really grab me, and as I say they went under my radar until a week ago.
Since then, I have been fucking OBSESSING on their music and interviews.


bruuuuuuuuuuuuno - BE NICE!!

Virus is a TUNE! Have you listened to their earlier work? If not you should...everybody should have a bit of Joke in their life when the apocalypse is due!
