  I was thinking about this the other night ... with Raven's death, where does that leave KJ as a touring band ? Raven really was the life and soul of the live KJ experience. Is now bassist Kneill Brown a permanent member of the band ? Either way, what are Benny and Reza doing whilst KJ goes into a regular inactive period ? They have other projects so will the current line up ever record or tour again ? Will those Geordie demos come out as a solo venture or will some of the riffs end up on the next KJ album ? 

  So it's 2008, if I was a betting man, I'd say that unless there was a burning desire to record new stuff (which itself would seem quite unnecessary considering most of those mighty stomps off Hosannas were never given a proper airing), the sensible money would be on a tour in 2009. Why 2009 ? It's the 30th anniversary of course ... and what better selling point for such a tour than "KILLING JOKE - ORIGINAL LINE UP" ... after 30 years if it's not the original lineup it borders on a glorified tribute band anyway ... of course Transmission brought Youth and Raven back together and Raven's funeral re-united the surviving originals ... any possibility ? It's what I am hoping for ... what better way there be to pay tribute to Raven than have the original line-up do one last big global tour, then maybe call it a day ... Jaz maybe wants KJ to go on forever ... well it does via the recordings ... I'd rather one big highly motivated effort from the original line up, than a faintly half-hearted follow up effort to Hosannas ...

      Sorry if this is old news but someone recently put a link up  to this:

      http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=79271

      Just spoken with Jaz, in Prague, and he knows nothing about any forthcoming tour with October File. He stated categorically that KJ will not be taking any part in this, however, they are planning to tour sometime this year. 

      Cheers
