[kj] (OT) The Cult on Killing Joke

[Neil Perry]

Considering The Mission didn't exist when The Sisters played the Albert
Hall, seeing as Wayne was
in the bloody Sisters at the time, I wouldn't trust Ian Astbury's
'recollections'...

Plus he once walked by our campfire at the Phoenix festival (with,
bizarrely, Vic Reeves),
tripped over a tent peg in the dark, fell into my mate's tent then threw up
over himself
(and over my mate's tent). He always was a class act!

> of quotes from various interviews, reviews and articles, including a couple

> of interesting mentions of the mighty Joke. The first is from Billy Duffy:

>

> "We were into the classics, but we were still into Psychedelic Furs, Billy

> Idol and Killing Joke- they were a little bit older than us- it was dance

> rock. No-one played you on the radio so you made 12"s for the clubs and

> built that way with a big back beat, all the bands were doing it: Play Dead,

> Sisters of Mercy. We were conscious that everything had to groove."

>

> And the second is from Ian Astbury:

>

> "The Mission and the Sisters of Mercy were playing the Royal Albert Hall

> and they had Hell's Angels doing security and the night before Wayne and I

> went to see Killing Joke and we met Jimmy Page there. He was pretty fucked

> up and incoherent but we were blown away meeting him."

>

> Quite interesting, I thought!
