[kj] The Great Belly...

[adrianwason at btinternet.com]

disagree totally
anyone who saw killing joke early in 1991 realised at the time that they were probably seeing the best live act ever to grace the stage
 
the songwriting has been better on 2012  IMO than on any other recording since extremities is that down to a combination of the 4 original members gelling after a few years?probably

Rheinhold:
 
You summed it up, beautifully, about Big Paul.  There are no substitutes, period.

BPF didn't play the festivals in 2010-11 either. I assume he's able to manage his NYC schedule around a full tour but not these one-off weekend gigs.
 
I said it before and I'll say it again: BPF is the missing piece and the video of Jason Bowld just confims it. Bowld's a dependable timekeeper, i'm sure, but also a basher with little finesse. I've seen KJ with 5 different drummers now and the closest anyone's come to BPF is Ben Calvert and even he was wide of the mark. My GF accompanied me to the Chicago shows in 2010 and she couldn't give a rip about KJ but she left impressed, commenting "the drummer was incredible."
 
Indeed.

Hey Alex,
 
No doubt you caught up, but just in case, Jason Bowld, is the drummer.
What I have not heard yet is why, had Big Paul, a sick note?
I guess it could be any reason and none of my business, but after the Youth blog, I think it was, things did not sound happy in camp KJ.
Or I guess he could have had other commitments, just curious though.
