[kj] no reasons why BTATS is gash

[wscheip1 at aol.com]

I'm just a fan of Geordie's guitar and BPF's drums so anytime they can get louder is a good time for me.
 
On a side note I just picked up the remastered Ha....Killing Joke Live since I never had the original. Any of the other remasters any good?

Sounds like a perfect mix to me (for a piss-poor
mixing job, i'll refer you to their latest "effort").
