[kj] Thank You, Linkin Park

Without a doubt. Their place is reserved in Hell.

Linkin Park are quite obviously not a Killing Joke rip-off. I can't see much of the Joke in their bland nu-metal.

How does it go?  Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?  Now all them little Linkin Park consumers will find out on the global grapevine web, about Killing Joke.  Heavens Mummy!  Who are they?  Are there trees and animals in the Ladbroke Grove?  What kind of computer does this Geordie programme to get that sound?

Viral conquest.  The Joke are so significant they end up getting ripped off like this.  Like the Beatles, the Stones... 
  
  
  
Here is the real joke: 
  
What do you call a good Linkin Park album? 
  
== A Killing Joke rip off!

In doing my research, I learn that the band has a new album slated for release. Not exactly shocking. The title? A THOUSAND SUNS. Sound a bit familiar.
