Killing Joke tour & new album

[jason]

I missed out Pandemonium. I guess that would sit about halfway up the list.

I'm not always a fan of Youth's ramblings, but this one is a good read.

The only Killing Joke song I know is 'Love Like Blood' and I do like that. I am looking for advice please, if I am to enjoy this band which album should I start with?

[Black Leather Jacket]

The album that's from is Night Time. A good start. Try youtubing some early classics like Empire Song, Chop Chop, Wardance, Requiem, Let's All Go To The Fire Dances, Eighties, Adorations.

My favourite albums are probably

Killing Joke (1980)
What's THIS For...! (1981)
Revelations (1982)
Fire Dances (1983)
Night Time (1985)
Brighter than a Thousand Suns (1986)
Outside the Gate (1988)
The Courtauld Talks (1989)
Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions (1990)
Pandemonium (1994)
Democracy (1996)
Killing Joke (2003)
Hosannas from the Basements of Hell (2006)
Absolute Dissent (2010)
MMXII (2012)

so your fave albums go by order of release? whatever turns you on mate

[Black Leather Jacket]

Yeah something like that. Copy and paste is a wonderful thing. I enjoy some albums more than others obviously, but each one is sprinkled with at least a few droplets of greatness!

[Rodney Blackstaff]

Have always classed myself as being very lucky, having originally got hooked on the band when they released 'Nervous System' all thse years ago and as for fav albums, well with Killing Joke it has always been about the mood I am in, as to which period of the band I tend to listen to at any one moment!!! 'Brighter Than A 1,000 Suns' always gets a lot of plays and the 2 recent albums for me have been corkers.

Whilst much has been said about the mainstream releases, the following albums also sit nicely in my collection

No Way Out But Forward - Nice little live album recorded in 1985

Live At The Forum Part 1 03-10-08/Live At The Forum Part 2 04-10-08 - 2 little packages from Concertlive, recorded and made available on each night when the original line up got back together, nice little momentos of a couple of great nights!!

Live At The Hammersmith Apollo 16-10-10 - Another offering from Concertlive and another good little item

Does anyone know what the f00k Jaz is talking about? I've had it on my iPod for ages but I keep on falling asleep after about 11 minutes of it.

It's not about where babies come from is it?
