Today we continue with the 1994 Pandemonium tour t-shirt. After Extremities everything fell apart. Jaz fucked off and did a bunch of stuff. Geordie, Martin, Raven and Bechedel wanted to keep going so they enlisted Chris Connolly and Big Paul Fergusson (yes) for what would be known as the Murder Inc. project and attempted tours.
Up until 1994 Killing Joke seemed dead. Jaz was publicly upset with Geordie and Raven for defecting to Atkins for this project. By 1994 Geord... MORE

I am über geeked about the impending implosion in NYC starting on Saturday October 11th and ending the following day.Killing Joke. But not your Killing Joke of the last 20 years. We are talking all original members. Which is huge. And catastrophic.
To camemorate this auspicious event I have agreed to wear a different Killing Joke t-shirt until the first day of the event.
So what does this tell you about me?
1. I am a fan boy. And as such fan boys should "fuck off".
2. I h... MORE

A year ago Monday will mark the one year anniversary of the death of Paul Raven. When his surviving band mates in Killing Joke stormed through New York City last weekend, they dedicated "Love Like Blood" to their fallen brother. It was quite something. Hoist a glass to the great man.

I signed on yesterday, and I had to mouse-wade through the ads to see where the hell to enter my password. Today, on the mainpage www.myspace.com, Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway stand on either side of the front page- like lions in front of mystical gates- looking quite intimidating and accusatory. And what's with the top that says "New to myspace? Take a Tour/ Latino." Is that not a bit strange? Evidently they have launched a Latino version of Myspace (complete with ... MORE

i've been a fan of killing joke since the late 80s when victor, an argentinian guy who owns one of the best record shops in my city, told me to give them a try. i was 16 years old back then & iggy pop, buzzcocks and the ramones were my heroes. killing joke sounded like nothing i had heard before and i played the "almost red" 12" non-stop for days and when i got enough money i went to the shop to buy everything i could find by jaz colman and friends. i selected "nervous sy...

Today's shirt doesn't have much behind it. Well.... This shirt was originally spotted by one Big Paul Fergusson. And everyone on the Gathering.....wait I didn't tell you about the Gathering? You don't know? The Gathering (not the excellent song from Fire Dances, but no coincidence) is a email lost about everything and anything Killing Joke. It has been going since the mid 90's. I joined in 98...I think. It is useful, annoying, tedious and exhausting all at the... MORE

HOLY HOLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYY FUCKING SHIT BATMAN/JESUS?GOD?ALLAH?WHATEVER YOU WANT TO PRAISE! We had to take a 6:30 AM flight into NYC for several reasons. 1. We are both pretty broke right now and we need to work as much as possible. 2. The better/smarter half is going for her masters degree. And d-day is just around the corner. 3. We flew in real early so we can visit with my mother. So what that means is we were REAL busy the night before. Got real drunk. Got up... MORE

If you're feeling a tremor in the Force today, that's invariably because today is Killing Joke founder/drummer Big Paul Ferguson's birthday. Celebrate accordingly by pounding your fists against the ground to make the earth vomit.

Maybe some newer MOGgers wondered, when you've visited my home page, what this means: MOG Activity #1:Creator of MOG Wars!, the craze that's sweeping the MOG-o-Sphere. Well, it's high time you found out, for MOG Wars 2.0 is upon us! Like the tagged song says, "put on your masks, and animal skins." Here’s what you’ll need:One (1) CD burnerOne (1) blank CD-R per "hit" One (1) big hockin’ stack of music Here's the basic idea of how this works. At a predetermined date,... MORE

Armageddon
By the time 2006 rolls around we see Killing Joke going through their usual rampage of grandiose plans and preaching the inevitable end time message of the world. BUT...we get a new album. And this time it seems to be with a stable line up. Ben on drums and Rez on keyboards. A new album is produced and the market is flooded with fantastic reissues and obscure material.
Hosannas is an okay record. Under produced and the songs could ... MORE

Day 3 of 8 10/06/08The Death and Resurrection Show
2003. A lot of things happened. I graduated from college, bought my first, and only, house and Killing Joke put out a new album.
Only 7 years since Democracy fizzled out. This time around Youth was on board, Raven was back in the fold, Dave Grohl was playing drums and more importantly, in my opinion, Dave Gill of Gang of Four fame was behind the console. It took a while to finish. But it was good. The song writing wa... MORE

The 2003 mayhem came and went. Life was on the upswing. There is only one place to go.
Down.
For the next 2.5 years I will experience more gut wrenching, heart breaking moments that I could never go through again. It will kill me. I wish I was kidding but it was one tragedy after another.
Up to this point I was struggling like every Joe Schmoe (pretty common with our current climate). I was out of school and it was really hard to land a stable job. Eventually I did... MORE
