[kj] KJ name-checked and covered by some band we will not like:

[Jim Harper]

The list of drummers to play on the then-forthcoming 2003 album included both John Dalmoyan of System of a Down and Joey Jordison of Slipknot, before Dave Grohl filled all the slots.

Jim.

 I believe Raven was a fan of Slipknot, actually.... for
 whatever that's worth. I've never been into
 them.

 "Scar the Martyr" is a Slipknot
 side-project. They are currently on tour with Korn and Rob
 Zombie. Let the hail of rotten vegetables commence...

 The deluxe version of Scar The Martyr contains a cover of 
 ‘Complications’ by KILLING JOKE, which appeared on their
 self-titled 
 debut in 1980. “It’s a super, super catchy song. It’s
 got four chords to
  it, including the chorus. It’s one of the simplest songs
 from one of 
 the most important bands of the post-punk era; I like
 everything about 
 that song! It’s so hypnotic. Of course I brought up the
 tempo; the 
 Killing Joke version is a lot different. It’s more flow-y,
 and this is 
 more of a charge. I metalled the fuck out of it! But at the
 same time it
  almost doesn’t sound like a metal track; there’s no
 lead guitar solo, 
 nothing complicated about it. It’s ironic me saying
 complicated, but I 
 just love the words to that song. Killing Joke is one of my
 favourite 
 bands, ever. I’ve wanted to cover that song for 15 years.
 I’m not really
  into covers, but something about that spoke to me. So when
 I was in the
  studio, I did two takes of it. It’s not a hard song, but
 I was so into 
 it. I made it heavy as shit, but still kept the natural
 feeling and I 
 think it turned out cool. It was fun to do.”

 The only place I could find the cover track is on a
 skeevy Vietnamese torrent site that I wouldn't touch
 with a ten-foot pole. I'll post it if I ever find a
 clean copy.
