Ah, c'mon, I've seen Killing Joke a couple of times, but they were
nowhere near as loud as <cough> the loudest gig I've ever been to, which
boringly enough, remains Motorhead -Hammersmith/Bomber Tour. It felt
like i had my head underwater for five days afterwards. And I was at the
back for that one, I'm usually one of the head-in-the-bass-bins nutters,
but enough's enough!

That's not to say KJ arn't brilliant live, BTW! Saw 'em with Hawkwind
once, Reading '86. Backstage bar was full of firemen because of KJ's
onstage flamethrowers. Bit of an odd crowd really. 50% people like
Lemmy, Alan Davey, Harvey Bainbridge, Zodiac Mindwarp, The Cult etc. 50%
Firemen in uniform, all getting along famously!
