This song gets more relevant every day. Life was the Garden of Eden when this came out compared to now. This song was a warning and nobody listened. Our lives sound like this song now, and it's gonna get worse. The pedals are all pushed to the floor
And now, in the present day, see all the swamp drained, all the corruption revealed. From Epstein to the scapegoating of Prince Andrew to... just take your pick looking around.

As I loose my job as a disability worker after 16 years I play this song very loudly … I’ve played this song since I was 16 I’m 49 Killing joke please fucking deliver us a new album These times are trying And yes I’ve fucking lost everything My wife family house possessions soon to go Back to my birth rite Money is not my fucking god
You are not alone my friend. The 15th of March 2020 was the beginning of a new reality for me here in New York, I left the city, which has bought time. The last three Killing Joke records: Absolute Dissent, MMXII (maybe MMXXII haha) and Pylon definitely are in my rotation. Jaz did a song "The Day the Earth Went Mad" under his own name with a video last year.
Killing Joke is my all-time favorite band. Jaz Coleman is fabulous, he opens people's eyes on realities of this world. KJ's songs are more relevant now that it was at the time !
I was at the live show in this video, front row, at the Metro in Chicago. The video itself was recorded before the show started, probably three takes. I went home with Geordie's setlist and some fake Yankee dollars. ;)
I am like most of you, a strong Killing Joke fan. I discovered this band in 1982 and their music is like crutches for me. One broke last sunday.... "Extremities, Dirts,..." album has strong and pure lyrics. It sounds a bit like the idea showed on Gang of Four first album sleeve (a cow-bay shaking an indian hands then telling "Now, the Indian is fooled" ") or Keziah Jones lyrics on track "The Wisdom Behind the Smile (Cash)".
Nirvana!? Kurt cobain was squeezing Teenage zits when Jazz Coleman and Co made their debut album which was for the year ( 1977)Punk was everyone's trend, kids wearing in fashion "Clash, Sex P, Buzzcock" badges, yet couldn't name one track more than maybe "London calling, God STQ, Ever fallen in love n so on,, Killing joke were NEVER punk, they were post apocalyptic Metal, Punk, New wave rolled into one fat Bifff, still imo one of the best bands of the 20th century.... Check every album out , thier roots may sound different, yet still very much "A way of life"
After listening to this and "Living In the 80's", I think it's easy to assume that this band was one of the great musical influences of Kurt Cobain/Nirvana.
I love how the unjustly harsh criticism of the "Outside The Gate" album fuelled KJ to make this dark, seething cold fury of a record! One big middle finger to the 'conventional' 😎
It's funny I've never heard that one. I always thought it was "Brighter Than 1,000 Suns" that was their last one before taking a bit of a hiatus and coming back with a vengeance with "Extremeties..." and "Pandemonium" after that.
@@satyrosphilbrucato9140 the song America even feels like soms precursor to this. Within KJ everything is interconnected and OTG is really not that bad..
Killing Joke started going a little soft and commercial on us on the two albums before this album. So when this album came out it hit hard and was a breath of fresh air for longtime Killing Joke fans.
Fuck en bring on the next killing joke album they better have a lot of answers questions and optimism to the fucking shit show we are now in Fucking love this song
Money is only useful when it is used (saving it for a good time is OK), hoarding it to no purpose is equivalent to burying perishable food expecting it to be near as valuable later. It NEEDS to be active to be useful. I'm not saying to throw it away, I'm not saying to waste it.
The really painful truth is realising this corporate shit without being able to change it..capitalism is everywhere and one has to be very tough to refrain from possession. For instance; I cannot listen to this song without either a HIFI set or a smartphone or a computer. Nor am I able to watch it on YT without advertisements; you'll have to pay extra for NOT seeing ads..I will not do that. Setting fire to paper money is actually a thing i'd rather do with great pleasure and conviction!!😎👍
Never would have known about this band if not for Fear factory's remake of Millennium, I am so glad I looked them up because there anti globalists message is Badass, I love em...
Globalism is fine as long as all the people rule not the so called "elite" after all we all live on a globe don't we... except flat earthers of course......
Here's my suggestion to you: Don't let money decide your life just because it's "fruitful", there's such a thing as the daily grind which is *not fun.* I had a nightmare with dozens upon dozens of people of many ages on the sides of the road, in daily grind machines and all were sleeping while being ground to nothing. ARE YOU RECEIVING ME? I wasn't in the machines, it was like that Star Trek episode with legal (and expected to be used) suicide booths on the sides. They were all used until Kirk and crew blew up the computer.
Released in 1990.. (before Nirvana's "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter") One thing is sure tho, you can NEVER get the right year of release by looking at the info on youtube :U

KJ is criminally underrated,OK? I saw them on this tour 4 free,they poured out cheap champagne 🍾 into the audience,the drummer even busted the bass drum,so they had 2 pause 4 the cause,see? It was also the last days of slam dancing,right b4 the metal community took it over,renaming it moshing,oh well? Good times,and I got the hookup,COOL! LONG LIVE KJ
I don't have anything against Diamonds in their _good_ context _where they really do belong_, but I will note that I saw a diamond commercial before this video started.
Unfortunately money is our god. This problem is deeply rotted in our fallen nature. Whatever you say or think, reality is at is is. Money instead of living God.
Fantastic band and song, but this song was mastered poorly. KJ's later releases were mixed and mastered LOUD and this track should have been mixed/mastered louder.
Rest in Peace, Kevin "Geordie" Walker (guitarist)
Still can’t believe it.
Geordie, Prague will never forget you
The MASTER of all the masters.
RIP Geordie.

I'd argue that the ENTIRE ALBUM (even the title: "Extremities, Dirt and Various Repressed Emotions") was a warning. "Prophetic" is an understatement.
Shame Money Has been & IS Especially last few years Their God.
This is, bar-none, my favorite KJ album - no mercy, heavy and angry and essential.
RIP, Geordie. KJ forever.
As I loose my job as a disability worker after 16 years
I play this song very loudly …
I’ve played this song since I was 16
I’m 49

Hang in there brother. Truth and light will prevail, you and family will be taken care of 🔥 🙏 😎 drummer Martin Atkins is my friend from New Jersey 🐻
One of the master piece of KJ. A wall of sound and malicious anger. RIP #GEORDIE VIVA #killingjoke

What a great song. so accurate it's scary! Thanks forsharing
