I found a Soviet Submariner hat at a thrift store near my house. I posted a photo of myself in it looking _snazzy_ to Facebook. Then I saw Georgie in a similar hat and was not like, "he must die, his hat is too similar to mine". :-D
You kidding? I was in concert. Every people was like after drugs or they was in specific trance mood. I just stay like i never stay on concert. Is not music for good people now maybe in past was but they changed personalities everything.
I was listening to The Calling and some tracks off Outside The Gate. It's the great precursor of Jaz and Geordie steering toward to Extremities. Killing Joke has raw power and grace with contradiction, polarity, tension... all thrown together in a manner that is precise but also chaotic. It's something to create 15 albums and have the ideas behind the music come along, develop and yes I think live beyond the creators.
sry, but meh. (I know y'all going to hate me...). Look, the drums are uninteresting- listen to "Complications" or perhaps the entire album "What's THIS for ?"... this is like a wind up toy, very predictable and frankly, boring. Is this really a "new" KJ album ? (throughout 80s-90s each album had an innovative edge, "Pandemonium" and "Democracy" lyrically gifted advances for the band, but it's been disappointing since. moving on....)
It was incredible to see Jaz finally getting the recognition he deserved from Gloucester University back in November. Breaking through the snobbery which is endemic to the UK classical music scene is, in itself, a huge & audacious achievement. Congratulations Dr. Coleman - a testament to your genius. Look forward to seeing you again in Bristol. Namaste. ;)
yeah, I was impressed with that and moreso how Jaz used used the money I gave him buying their albums and attending their concerts. not into classical at all here but to each his/her own
His classical stuff is a bit too light for me, as I prefer the likes of Stravinsky or Rachmaninoff, but it's been worth every penny spent to keep Killing Jokes Genius alive this long. ;)
Since 45 years I am listening to this band ..and still enjoy it like in the beginning...in the 80ties..the whole world is fck up now but these guys are still around...
All hail the cathartic beauty that is killing joke Nice grooving riffs looking forward to hearing more . The worlds needs a killing joke album Peace love and bravery.
It's funny about the getting old thing ;+)...For me Killing Joke is head phones on, cranked up in the car or home alone....no one appreciates the thunder and serrated vocals....
What more can be said? A seamless continuation of the epic Pylon album. Hopefully the EP is the precursor to a full album, but even if the 2 new songs are all we get, I'm grateful.
Yeah, and I just got a listen to Total tonight and it’s very good- I actually prefer it to LoC. Of course, I always love when the chorus of the song is just Jaz screaming the title. My friend used to always joke around about that whenever I told him the title of a new KJ song and, well, once again he would not be wrong.
Lord of Chaos Fatal attraction to bright lights and loud explosions Insects will rule when we've had our go Our rise and fall, our stewardship, our temper tantrums Our art, our excellence, our hubris, poverty and greed Flash points everywhere and everybody's scared Complex systems failure And the Lord of Chaos is in All things must pass, oceans bereft of life A fungal bloom allows no light, the depths no longer rise As we dine in streets of filth and close our eyes While the world is burning And all the seas rise Flash points everywhere and everybody's scared Complex systems failure And the Lord of Chaos is in
Magnificent, as always. Been listening to this band since the early 80s and they go from strength to strength. Can't wait to see them in Manchester next month.
Great song!!! Introduced to KJ by DJ Mont in 1989 as an 18 year old. I got to see them that year in Miami Beach at The Kitchen Club. Finally met them many years later at their show at the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles. Still one of my favorite bands!

I liked this band the moment I heard them decades ago. They were 'a great band' then became 'one of my favorite bands', then one of my 'top 10 bands', then 'top 5 bands'...and still climbing.
@@TheJosep70 That's why I love Pearts observations, he embraced a great deal, even though later in life he denounced his earlier influences. It still remains a constant with his writings - the dangers of an over grasping minority state over the many individuals. For me KJ and Rush are saying the same thing very very differently.
The greatest guitarist to ever walk the earth from the greatest band ever to grace it.Period.Replacing him will be like trying to replace coleman.Impossible.Met him once in a pub in sheffield.Totally in awe of the great man like a school kid.No longer will we hear the huge,beautiful sound of the es295,but what a legacy.That guitar and its place in KJ's sound has kept me alive.I'm indebted to him.
Killing Joke's lyrics have been prophetically pointing to the future that arrived with 2020. They are the soundtrack to chaos. They have been my wardance for 40 years, channelling my anger towards more positive ends. We must go through the darkness to arrive at the light.
Well said, I'd have not made in out of Manhattan without Absolute Dissent. Nighttime got me before all this as did New Cold War. I formerly study Geopolitics and Economic History, you don't see a band know the Artic is the great war theater just at random. Cerebral and spiritual with enough righteous anger to match the crimes. But I think there's a great awakening, something changed, collective spirit. I find, Outside the Gate prophetic often. The Calling's lyrics are this very moment now. Prophetic and sublimely comforting. an excerpt "I hear the calling calling the faithful to find themselves do not trust the beggars who expose their poverty of spirit Arise, arise, stand upright and take pride in who and what you are, great changes are coming and *you will be asked to identify yourself* "
Just back from the Bristol o2 concert. (I still remember losing most of my hearing from the nighttime tour in 1985.) It took a few tracks to get going then suddenly the whole place just filled with their presence.The next hour went in a second,and I 'm going home wanting at least another 2 hours. Can't wait to do it again. 😎👹😎
Killing Joke has always been the biblical Jeremiah of music - ahead of its time, filled with sound and fury, and righteous anger, yet not taken as seriously as they should, but whose influence is felt in practically every band who hears them. Then, also like Cassandra, they are proven to have been prescient all along. This song shows this. All hail KJ!
first time i seen them in 1980, they blew me away, this is the future of rock n roll, how relevant they are today in these dystopian times. visionary. you were told
A comment here is to thank, celebrate and encourage this band to continue. Each new release is like a party, a joy bringing us energy, hope and a state of mind of steel during weeks. A band that is not so underrated and no matter about the music business, what matters is they are important to all of us, we gatherers. We all have that in common.Thanks to them for that. Thank you to the gatherers to support them.. Respect. (Please come in Europe). Be seeing you!
Another sublime composition by the masters. Every chord, word, breath, beat and pause crafted with skill and mastery few can even aspire to. Listen properly to Killing Joke and you will not be let down. Better still, go see them and you will never look back.
Awesome, dark and at the same fearsome 🔥 As always Killing joke proves that they can be different at different periods of their career. Both: heavy and melodic 🔥
i wanted to call one of my bands "the lords of chaos" in the 90's but nobody else was on board ... i got the idea from a nature doc , that showed lions and hyena's struggling for survival in the dark of nite ... brilliant moment ... cool tune by the by , well done
Since the middle 80s i was on every concert in hamburg. Never dissapoint. I never listen to musician interviews. Its alwys stupid shit. Only when coleman speaks, ive learn about the world! And listen. I never get such adrenalin shiver on concerts like i do at k joke. These 4 people gave me so much! Thanks for all that feelings in nearly 40years
They still sound pretty fresh. It seems the more times degenerate, the more glee KJ take in rising to the challenge of encapsulating the chaos. Think this could be a grower - gonna have to listen to it a few more times!
@@Rangecrosoft Not complaining, hanging in there, and as long as boredom is not lethal, i am ready to cross the Rubicon, thank you. Be good, old buddy!
RIP Geordie Walker (December 18, 1958 - November 26, 2023), aged 64
You will be remembered as a legend.
A legend for sure. May he rest in peace.
The best

The most underrated band in history.
Absolutely one of the most important bands ever in human history.
Killing Joke are far from underrated.
The only band who screams about reality in the raw. They vomit up this sick world.
@@Emulous79 that is exactly how Big Paul Ferguson described KJ's sound: The Sound Of The Earth Vomiting..
You kidding? I was in concert. Every people was like after drugs or they was in specific trance mood. I just stay like i never stay on concert. Is not music for good people now maybe in past was but they changed personalities everything.
@@PeaceandUnderstanding You missed the point of Killing Joke.
This is the perfect blend of punk rock, metal, and new wave.
I Love Killing Joke! One of the most important Rock Band of last 40 years...
AMAZING KILLING JOKE!
Agreed bloody marvellous 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
ABSOOOFUCKINGLUTELY🤯🤘🙌
The book, " a prophesy fullfilled, " by killing joke is a great read...defiantly one of the most influential bands with important messages for all
@@paulcroxton6047 Thanks for this info
Geordie has a unique sound from his guitar, he always makes there songs interesting
Geordie isn't just a guitarist, he's an entire orchestra :P
@@unixfreak definitely, i agree with u
Their not there.
That guitar and that amp! Such a killer rig!
"Hes like 2 guitarists in one, and sometimes 3!"
So Apocalyptically poetic. Killing Joke does not disappoint with emotional anger/sadness/hope lyrical madness and wall of sound...for decades.
It is fcking beautiful isn't it
I was listening to The Calling and some tracks off Outside The Gate. It's the great precursor of Jaz and Geordie steering toward to Extremities.

Astonishing how heavy they get sometimes. This is awesome.
heavy but with the eerie vibe of your 80s material. awesome.
It's really simple harmonically, but it sure as hell works!
The mighty Joke return. Good strong track, hard hitting drums, wee nod to the more melodic mid 80s material which I loved. Top band.
sry, but meh. (I know y'all going to hate me...). Look, the drums are uninteresting- listen to "Complications" or perhaps the entire album "What's THIS for ?"... this is like a wind up toy, very predictable and frankly, boring.

Been in love with Killing Joke for something like 43 years, and they are damn near the greatest of all. For me, they never disappoint.
Me too, I am fan of KJ since around 1980 or so.
Hard to believe these guys are still going strong after 43 years (as of this comment). One of my all time greatest bands!
Now THAT is an amazing track.
Damn.
When I was a boy I started listening to Killing Joke, I think it was in 1982. This band stood by my side almost my entire life. Great stuff.
Same here
Since 45 years I am listening to this band ..and still enjoy it like in the beginning...in the 80ties..the whole world is fck up now but these guys are still around...
Geordie Walker, du hast das Leben massiv gerockt💯Wir werden dich niemals vergessen❣
There's no other band like Killing Joke. They hit the hardest when the world is in turmoil and at the same time trigger a survival instinct.
Definitely agree with what you've said.
The world has always been in turmoil. That's why Killing Joke has always been great.
@@Riskmangler Killing Joke themselves are a turmoil!
this war would have been perfect for the band- let's hope we live to hear it
Well put
RIP Geordie
Killing Joke Preaching the real worldview of the environment we live in. With kick ass music.Unlike most pop music today.Thank the Gods for Them!
I Do thank the great Ancients For Them Indeed.
Jaz Coleman still pulling off that brilliantly weird rasp in his voice well into his 60s. Fuckin' splendid track chaps!
2022 and still producing great work.Fabulous KJ .
Perfectly reflective of the system we live in.
What a track! ✌️
One of the most underrated bands in history!
I'm thankful, that they are still knocking them out. Long live Killing Joke.
All hail the cathartic beauty that is killing joke
Nice grooving riffs looking forward to hearing more .
The worlds needs a killing joke album
Peace love and bravery.
Peace and Killing Joke love
Geordie is an absolute master of texture.
killing joke is awesome. been a fan of them since finding out that they opened for joy division in 1980.
Amazing since more than 40 years...never get disappointed...getting old but...still a fan!
It's funny about the getting old thing ;+)...For me Killing Joke is head phones on, cranked up in the car or home alone....no one appreciates the thunder and serrated vocals....
Totally agree, fan since 1980.
I have listened to them since the 80s. It felt like I had magic ears and no-one else did, because no-one else I knew could see their eminence.
So great to hear you guys again! This rocks!
omg consumerist anime on here
As always never disappointed with these guys. Sick Haunting Groove on this one.
What more can be said? A seamless continuation of the epic Pylon album. Hopefully the EP is the precursor to a full album, but even if the 2 new songs are all we get, I'm grateful.
2 songs?
@@swedishbutcher theres an EP coming on march 25th with 2 new songs
1. Lord Of Chaos
2. Total
3. Big Buzz (Alternate Mix)
4. Delete (Alternate Mix)
There will be an album. Rumor has it that it is either in the can or will be very soon.
Yeah, and I just got a listen to Total tonight and it’s very good- I actually prefer it to LoC. Of course, I always love when the chorus of the song is just Jaz screaming the title. My friend used to always joke around about that whenever I told him the title of a new KJ song and, well, once again he would not be wrong.
I am here only for historical reasons: to tell my grandchildren that on the day of the premiere I wrote: Excellent!
Party on Dudes
pre-order: COMPLETED!
Ai will delete this like before. Just saying idk
Excellent!
👍🏽
Lord of Chaos
Fatal attraction to bright lights and loud explosions
Insects will rule when we've had our go
Our rise and fall, our stewardship, our temper tantrums
Our art, our excellence, our hubris, poverty and greed
Flash points everywhere and everybody's scared
Complex systems failure
And the Lord of Chaos is in
All things must pass, oceans bereft of life
A fungal bloom allows no light, the depths no longer rise
As we dine in streets of filth and close our eyes
While the world is burning
And all the seas rise
Flash points everywhere and everybody's scared
Complex systems failure
And the Lord of Chaos is in
Good, god damn o feel old.... 57 and I still listen to my roots
Outstanding. Definitely getting a hint of Brighter Than a Thousand Suns era DNA in there. Fantastic. Gets better with repeat listens.
Yet another fantastic track. The primal pulse they create is really quite powerful and comforting.
R.I.P. Geordie
YES. This made my day finding out there's a new album.
You can't imagine how much I was looking forward to this new track and how much I will be looking forward to the arrival of the new album 🤘💀🤘
Storming track!!! Very excited for the new album!
Magnificent, as always. Been listening to this band since the early 80s and they go from strength to strength. Can't wait to see them in Manchester next month.
killing joke did it again, great music for over 40 jears now.
This rocks hard!!! 🤘🔥🔥🔥🤘
The gift that keeps on giving.
Outstanding track I’ve listened 10 times already today …absolutely awesome…perfect song for the times of this shit pile world we live in
The world is shit when we think of it!!
It isn't the world that's shit....it's shitty people in the world that makes it a shit place...
Masterpiece . Thks a lot KJ ...for your energy and freedom.
Great song!!! Introduced to KJ by DJ Mont in 1989 as an 18 year old. I got to see them that year in Miami Beach at The Kitchen Club. Finally met them many years later at their show at the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles. Still one of my favorite bands!
Brilliant again. Seen 'em live a couple of years ago, never seen such brilliant energy ever. Jaz was conducting a Black Mass of anarchy and emotion.

One of the most complete Band since 80´s
This must be the best "Joke" i´ve heard in a long long time.
In the grand scheme of things, this is one of the few bands (along with The Clash) that really matters!
The Raven would be proud lads keep chugging it out.
Good to know KILLING JOKE is still around
Hard, powerful,driving music that consumes you. A voice, deep and melodic
I can’t believe it. Every new release these guys kick ass again and again. Killing Joke is too damn good! 🤘
Long live The Joke ✊️
Or the sorrow. Sayeth Frater Perdurabo. (Deep cut there. See Brighter than a Thousand Suns.)

Tears of joy with how good this is...
When you hear other bands past their prime still clinging to fame, KJ prove that they still know how to put out good songs.

"I hear the calling
