      Why they have writing credts on the music too?
      They own the music same as him, in fact they technically collectively own 75% of the music property and band name 'Dead Kennedys' and a US court of law agreed to that fact. The 3 other members of the band did their share of the work that made the DKs what they were.
      Finding a singer that rivals Jello to take his place in the DKs is probably next to impossible, I have to agree with everyone on that fact. Sadly there's truly only one Jello Biafra and he's, well let's just say it, if you've ever met or had a conversation with him you'd know he's kind of... well, a dick. He's one of those my football my rules and if you don't like it I'm taking my ball and going home types.
      So though your statement may have some merit to in as far as Jello was a big time performer, singer, the voice and undoubtedly the star of the DKs he was not all of the DKs.
      It's too bad cuz I'll admit I've seen the DKs w/o Jello and though the band sounds freakin awesone, the singers have been, honestly, lousy. I've also seen the DKs with Jello and those are some of the best shows I have ever seen, even 30+ years later!
      Shit, now I'm thinking about it. Im now sad I'll never see one of my favorite bands together and whole ever again.

      Never say never. And i agree that the rest of the band played just as much part in the writing of the music. We can only hope that unlike rage against the machine, they will put those differences aside and write songs again. Not the same old shit in basically a cover band of your own band.

      @@rathersane ☝️Well according to a US court of law they don't have to. Turns out because they created all of the songs as a group they all have equal rights to the material the band produced. They don't need to ask him for anything, it's as much theirs as it is his.
      If you know something about US copyright law that the courts don't know, I think you should share it here. Otherwise just be cranky that you never got to see the whole band DKs live and have had to settle for Jello and whatever his cover band du jour is.
      They were a freaking awesome live band when they were together, anybody that ever saw them would never dis the rest of the band like you just did

Jello fired Kristin von Till, who blew the whistle and told East Bay Ray about the royalties. The verdict was upheld on appeal and Jello had to pay $250,000 in actual and punitive damages.
