Killing Joke were never "cool" , Kool and the gang were "cool" , but not  Killing joke . Huggy bear was "cool" , NOT Jaz Coleman . Killing joke were the antitheses of "cool" . If you wear Killing joke t-shirts Oliver , in order to appear "cool" may I suggest that you try wearing a vintage Starsky and Hutch one instead

Yep, "Eighties" projected so much of what was cool about KJ onto video 
form, almost definitively. I think it's by far their best vid, too. It 
definitely leaves a lasting impression, even nowadays. Other than that I 
generally prefer video of live performances from 1984 or before -- much 
more than any other video. (Live performance vids from The Tube, or the 
live video of "Empire Song" at ... U4 I think it is? Thos are better 
than almost any video KJ have put out.)

"Money Is Not Our God" is a great song, but damn the video to that has 
not aged well, either.
