What damned awful news this is. I was stunned when I read about it this afternoon. I’m guessing this means the end of the band, too, cos without his particular guitar grunt it’d never sound the same again. Currently playing Hosannas from the Basements of Hell, which is my favourite by Killing Joke, and features Jaz Coleman at his crankiest. The total experience of it all blows me away indeed.

And the hat is done
Oh, here’s one of my own photos found during this archival trawl:
June 2013, Killing Joke were playing in Sydney for the first time in a decade, and this was my first live encounter with them. I was, alas, between camera at the time, my trusty old Nikon Coolpix having died the year before and I still hadn’t invested in its replacement, so I was stuck using my rather shitty phone camera. The shots I got were, needless to say, inadequate at best, but I love this one anyway… cos someone down on the floor of the Metro near the stage was sufficiently moved for whatever reason to toss their hat into the air, and somehow I managed to press the button just in time to catch it while it was still airborne.
