Killing Joke - "Wardance" (Peel Session)

[bingsy100]

Youth could well be right as John Peel had this in his festive 50, it is shit hot.

[krzykanuk3]

i have the 12" vinyl single :)

[porridgeisnice]

my favourite version , they were really good live then, full of blood n thunder , very passionate and motivated... plus jazz is a huge occultist , so theres always somthin to natter about when your on a bus in germany and driving for two days solid ... good times .... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz wheres me coa coa

[tigerhorsefield]

looking for pandamodium...its fkn mint.

[uwebde]

I´ve listen John Peels Radio at BFBS in Germany at this time.

Was nothing better !

[eddie5181]

SMASH IT UP .



[666Nightshift]

Bad ass!!!

[yenza123]

dude, you make me feel complete.

[MrBantam3]

Jazz lives a 20 minute ferry trip from me. Seen him around. Still making great music

[Druffmaul]

This version is fantastic, definitely better than the original single version. But I still prefer the 1980 album version. Sorry to differ w/ Mr. Youth. =P

[lolissimaUK]

seen them 2 dats ago @ royal hall. amazing.

[leftylion]

@peepingtom19,wow, very cool.

[SteveResin]

this is magnificent, thanks for the upload

[karmajod]

yeah, I was there. Think their first album was a bit of a dissapointment compared to early singles and peel sessions. Now Im a 48 year old Buddhist....... Eh !!

[katrastrophy]

@karmajod So just curious,what made you decide to become Buddhist? You raised religious too?

[karmajod]

@katrastrophy Was raised a catholic, just read a book on Buddhism and made sense to me. Have visited few Buddhist centres and generally good vibe and people. Do get the odd arse hole and are some dodgy breakaway groups and cults that call themselves Buddhist. Am currently with karma Kagyu scholl of Tibetan Buddhism. Take care and any questions please ask, John.

[katrastrophy]

@karmajod and from the looks of the attack from this guy'bingsy100", I won't be asking any questions here. Thanks anyhow. People are just mad for no good reason.

[LeGronk]

@katrastrophy Why care what some random asshole says?

[katrastrophy]

@LeGronk I really don't care so much as not wanting to fall into some dialog with some nutter(that guy). I really just came here for the music(great upload)and was curious about something,so I asked .

I also have noticed every so often I get a 'random' attack from some cad with a spare channel to harass folks...maybe a trend? Thanks all the same though.

[bingsy100]

@katrastrophy wot the fuck are you on son? this makes you want to live not suck. join the next fad drip

[katrastrophy]

@bingsy100 whoa,I ask someone else a simple question and get you on my ass? Yikes,nobody is on a trip but you and looks like a bad one:(

[bingsy100]

@katrastrophy sorry for upsetting you mate but have viewed your wall and have to say your full of shit. grow some balls septic tank.

[katrastrophy]

@bingsy100 yawn

[44ZEBRASTONE]

Does anyone remember the huge CND demo in trafalgar square - so many punks - the politicos talked - and talked - some one was in the midst of something - and then Killing joke just started off with this ... and the punks wardanced ...

[dregs1983]

these germans are goode ya

[hellchild65]

@dregs1983 their english, not german lol

[dregs1983]

@hellchild65 i know seen them in the lyceum london 1982.anyway it is they are or they re for short..

[weightonboy]

Peeping Tom - Your Uncle had good taste - I wouldn't mind this song being played when they spread my ashes...

[GHReaper1996]

this is 10x times better than the album version :D

[cesaricardo1987]

en la foto se ven como los papas de green day

[nierealnaKOLABORACJA]

[nierealnaKOLABORACJA]

Drums and Bass killing

[kingofpunk1977]

Joke were superb in the old days

[AxeManJax]

@kingofpunk1977 Still are! Saw them in Cologne last night! Even got them to sign my 30 year old 'Requiem' T-shirt. Ha! :D

[kingofpunk1977]

@AxeManJax That's good. I have got a ticket for London. I know they will do the old numbers justice just not keen on the Metal direction they have taken . Thanks

[dregs1983]

fucking great legronk

[wozenkroft]

"Music for pleasure is not music no more"

[losgritar]

great!!

[fstop77]

Great version!!! Killing Joke kills......  Cheers mate.

[hippibillie]

still makes me want to "slam" there is nothing as exhilerating as music that tells it like it is! i'm going all the way to cali to see them in december! Icant wait!

[dopeking2003]

"try to be honest... look what you did!!!" - Take heed Gordon Brown, these guys must've known all those years ago that you were gunna send the country to pot

[AxeManJax]

@dopeking2003 "Try to be honest, look what you get!" ;)

[vivellasmum]

I so wish there was footage of this at the Tabernacle with Dave 'the Wiz' fire eating. that memory will stay with me forever, amazing.

[dortyhoor]

This band get totally over looked when those 'history of punk' banwagon shows roll around every five or so years which is wrong because they had/have such an impact on punk, but I spose including them would interfere with the 'dead in 78' nonsense that the music media like to propogate.

[HawK047]

@dortyhoor Thats why there was Post-punk, pretty much.

[dortyhoor]

@HawK047 Punk was still alive and kicking when this lot were going, it was selling more records than in 77 as a genre (whatever you want to call it), the only 'post' punk was then was post-media interest.

[falkinerkeith]

@dortyhoor post-punk is still alive and well mate in the thousands (well maybe hundreds) of real punks brought up and living on a diet of killing joke, exploited, crass, subhumans and the tonnes of other brilliant DIY bands. punk is the strongest subculture ever to emerge through music and is still going strong

[dortyhoor]

@falkinerkeith That is why it is not 'post' because it didn't stop, post 77 maybe but that means nothing,.

The only 'post' is the media interest in punk.

[RoberTastic]

@falkinerkeith unfortunately no, it's all gone! theres maybe some underground acts lurking around but it is nothing compared to the 70s n 80s., just glad iw as born in 77 to at least get a taste of it

[killTHEIRidols]

i think youth was right!....this version fuckin owns!!

[virusbell]

dom knew the wizard, dom knew jaz and pig youth, dom threw drink on me at a party held by motorheads tour manager ( 51 ladbroke grove) we were 16 ..I got him back in trhe Alex aND WAS bEAT UP he is in Jamaica now..lucky Dom..... sTeve

[vivellasmum]

@virusbell do I know you Steve? I used to hang out in the Alex, knew KJ , M'head etc. I used to be a nurse in those days...

Viv

[virusbell]

@vivellasmum I was'nt there for long, I stayed with Motorheads tour maager courtesy of two geordie punks called Liz and Joy but not for long, it was 1981 and I was 16

[peepingtom19]

my uncles funeral was today his coffin was carryied into the church to this song what a fuc@ing legend

[antiscumleague]

sorry for your loss. a great bit of 79.

[revengeguy]

@peepingtom19 your uncle sounds like a pretty fucking awesome dude

[Arickhal]

@peepingtom19 That is EPIC! Your uncle had good taste.

[ptd1965]

@peepingtom19 RIP to him.

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

@peepingtom19 He must've been a legend if he chose this song for his funeral. I bet he's cracking a cold one with Paul Raven right now. RIP to him indeed.

[MrBaldy73]

@peepingtom19 Cool uncle mate. may he rest in peace, and dance in heaven to that song

[codbutt]

i once heard a story about a bloke in china in the early 80s who used to fill public squares with hundreds of people in minutes by slam dancing to this to his tape player until the cops rolled up...

[LeGronk]

Cool story, bro.

[penandwhiteout]

@codbutt whats slam dancing?

[zZoiks]

@penandwhiteout you youngsters may call it moshing.

[HawK047]

@zZoiks Moshing is ruined. Every kid thinks he has to go and try to "accidentally" bust someones face with their fists. We should go back to pogoing.

[zZoiks]

@HawK047 i agree with that, although a good slam pit is a good slam pit.

[snoogans9]

listen' to this man people!

[AgentHomer]

@penandwhiteout it's like moshing... just an older word. with some pogo in it, too.

[zZoiks]

@AgentHomer mosh is the adjective for slam dancing.

[AgentHomer]

@zZoiks you mean as in mosh pit? anyway, mosh is a verb (too), to mosh, or moshing are definitely used words.

[coptersoisoi]

@codbutt He slammed danced himself? :/ cool story bro

[JRCrowley]

@codbutt fuck I like it.

[bellamoniker35]

@codbutt reely?? that hppend to me yesterday..

[MrChrisCulley]

Best Guitarist ever

[Phil2thrill]

Excellent! That's just what this song needed, a little more speed, I miss the effects on the voice though but this is a very good version anyway. Thanks

[bufon63]

Fucking G R E A T

[forth1102]

Sweet!! Thanks for the upload.
