Killing Joke - European Superstate

[FedorEight]

Isn't Jaz the guy who ran away to Island in 1983, thinking the Armageddon was coming?

I love KJ, but these guys have the intellect of vodka-impaired lemurs.

[scherzomortale]

@FedorEight i suggest you tell them that yourself.

[FedorEight]

@scherzomortale You know Jaz's home address or e-mail? I would love to. Someone needs to finally put some sense into that bloated head of his. Jaz is a classic example of how badly fame can affect one's reasoning powers.

[scherzomortale]

@FedorEight Fame ??? Is he really famous ?

[FedorEight]

@scherzomortale You seem a little excited. Is Jaz your God?

[scherzomortale]

@FedorEight Ssshhhh,go to bed.

[FedorEight]

What an amazing song - and what retarded lyrics!

Jaz once said he has an IQ of 190. I think he must have meant 19.

[symbologee]

Fcuk teh Fed Reserve...fcuk teh Rothschild empire.

[dseanc]

been a joker for over 30 years, they're still the bollocks!!!!!! anyone else going to the Roundhouse March 8th?

[scherzomortale]

@dseanc i've gone without a holiday for 9 months in order to do every uk date....i'll see you at Chalk farm!

[wilfrid55]

the Joke started up in 1978 - that is NOT postpunk ....

[Loobs666]

"Why are the proud descendants of Plato, paying off more debts accommodating NATO?"... Only Jaz would even think about shovelling old Greek Philosophers into lyrics these days... I bet Leucippus, Parmenides, Heraclitus et al are shitting their respective Chitons.

[Lieu3C4]

Damn the corrupt politicians, police, workmen and women, conniving merchant class with all the class of Dickensian England, who, in Sydney, Australia, from 1983 onwards, ensured that, by ammoral murder group body doubling networking out of control, the necessary social arrangements there would become a failure, and an embaressment, and an absolute irritant to the rest of the world. I say this as an Australian, aware and equally in despite of them all. Cocksucker Cave Cro Magnons! *ptww*

[BoyfromSevilla]

I might risk and say Killing Joke is the best cyberpunk band ever

[BoyfromSevilla]

yeah well haha europe is 3rd world now, but what a nice RESPECT tits

[scherzomortale]

@BoyfromSevilla very true !

[Photonzos]

crap

[iralien]

Scherzo(noiosamente)mortale

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

Death to Eurocentric Super(fascist)State

[TheLearningFish]

@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY yeah yeah go suck IMF dicks, we know you commies are best friends with ultra liberal assholes

[jwmcnew]

Someone could do a great parody of this song based on my drinking misadventures during my last trip to Germany. I would call it "European Stupor State" :)

[Badmonkeytheater]

Where is Geordie?Another KJ album is always welcome but boy I love Geordie's power riffs, I hope there's more guitar than on this track. Raven, we miss you brother. All hail the fire!

[nudezooland]

yeah! on the RISE!!......with youth back again KJ sounds like the unpigeonholeable noise I first fell in love with when 'post 76' 'punk' was meant to fit in the same sort of cultural parameters as all that it despised.....kinda like now, xcept it's even worse, now that fame is the bidggest cultureal movement unto itself...;(...........KJ- all power to 'em!! ;D

[knobber]

Great track from the Masters...

[LHKDeath]

Absolute Dissent is one of their best albums. Very diverse and still very much a killing Joke Record. It's like they took bits from every part of their career and created new songs; like they were their own influence. One of my favorites of 2010.

[rriffrraff]

@LHKDeath very good comment

[dregs1983]

youfs back

[FraterSoddi]

Coleman is such a wanker... love the band, but he's a preachy windbag faux revolutionary.

[marianmichalski]

@FraterSoddi so what are you?no one ever heard of you except your jabber on youtube.

[FraterSoddi]

@marianmichalski At least I'm not a Moslem pretending I'm in favor of human rights.

[marianmichalski]

@FraterSoddi I don't know what "Moslem"is /maybe you mean Muslim?/.Last I heard about defending human rights it was from christians from USA?UK?CANADA?... maybe?/ .It always ends in bombing places in name of defending human rights.It does not matter who is right;it matters who has a gun.Jaz can see it with open eyes and he talks about it.WHAT IS EVEN MORE INTERESTING lots of people buys his records for last 25 years.And You are still only the lonely guy who is heard by few on youtube.

[mikapromotesobesity]

The superstate is a good thing.

[earworm]

i love the joke, no one can combine postpunk, metal and new wave like them.

[878commando]

Joke are back, dance you fuckers!

[erictheviking871]

brilliant,mind fodder for the dance floor.killing joke are good at this kind of stuff ,beats the heavy metal bollocks they were vearing towards,they are above that way above it .

[mikapromotesobesity]

@erictheviking871 dance is beneath heavy metal, way beneath it.

[mikapromotesobesity]

@erictheviking871 I'm not american. dance music is for junkies and losers in general. dance music attracks the most dossile in society. heavy metal is much more superior to retarded monotone dance beats. You probably are a junkie or a loser, or maybe both.

[mikapromotesobesity]

@erictheviking871 You are probably out of your mind on drugs, most people who like dance music are just junkie lowlifes. You are a great example of one. I have a beautiful girlfriend, and I am a personal trainer, so I would stomp your face into the ground with very little effort.

[0praecox0]

does anyone have the lyrics?

[pulsetonetonic]

@scherzomortale YOU NEED TO GROW UP OR FUCKING WISE UP YOU PRICK!!

[scherzomortale]

@pulsetonetonic

hahaha you're hard aren't you?

[pgt66]

@scherzomortale fucking great video! If you put this together - it's nice to see someone paying attention to this important band's lyrics!

[pulsetonetonic]

Thought this was a top notch effort at conveying some difficult shit! You should do more...the best video that I've seen so far. Yeah; dig it!

Already had the track; you should go out and buy the album.

[anarchyrissen]

never mind the bollocks, listen ¡KJ! vote: "worst €U lobbying award"

[WilfulDays]

Kept me warm...love it :)

[bluffsport]

Youth brings KJ back to the dancefloor. Look for the maxi cd - has anyone found it on the internet?

[JIMNO1R]

DISKO-DANCE COMMITED : PURE GENIUS FOR THEIR 30TH ANNIVERSARY !!

p-s : Killing Joke are all supporters of the European ideal. They wrote a song, "Europe", on their fifth studio album released in 1985, Night Time, which has a similar content. It is a worth looking at Jan Huss, the origins of the European Union and the European roots.

;p

[bufon63]

@JIMNO1R Who gives a shit?

[kidri0t]

@JIMNO1R the EU was an idea of adlof hitler he called it the EEC

[jeffGICQUEL]

Ce groupe est vraiment incredible ! vivement lundi soir au Bataclan

P E A C E

K I R I ;)

[Andre0238]

Thei best album since Night Time

[paulravenrip]

@Andre0238

I would almost agree!

[beforethree]

pretty brilliant!

[billynoband]

This is not a common theme for the new album. Very good however. Bring on October, be there.

[THIRV]

First time i've heard it and i love it already !

Don't get me wrong, i know some purists would prefer another album of the guitar dominated sound again, but it's good to hear them doing something a bit different.

Have just ordered the album from Amazon on the strength of hearing this track on here....

:O)



[Eric22]

@THIRV "i know some purists would prefer another album of the guitar dominated sound again,"

You bet your *ss we would !! Many "purists" can't get enough of that, glad that Geordie recorded some awesome demos between KJ albums; it doesn't get more "guitar dominated" then that : the right stuff ! I think that is exactly one of the features that make KJ stand out.

[unsafetypins]

it is good.

[maheen13]

i love the slides! thanks for the upload!

[DebsTheBeast]

I like that video, but you know the rest of my thoughts. Very disco-like
