[jonnytheoasisfan]

One like from finland! .. though love like blood is still the most personal to me..

But this is punky

[JULIANZ47647]

Do a wardance!!!!

[tz9able]

Punk rock new wave music produced some excellent records and this was one of them. I love the way it is so uncompromising. Even the art work on the single cover was uncompromising.

[freethoughtmusic]

This still f--ing rules.

[carlitoxina]

sounds like no remorse riff D:

[polycarpx]

My God! Hearing this song again, I can almost smell the 80s.

[mysterywhylay]

Ahhhhh, Killing Joke. Saw them twice in Edinburgh, once in 83, then again in 84 :) gods. Now go check out "the damage manual" :) Trust me, I'm old lol

[glaeken14]

KILLING JOKE era una banda muy enérgica.

Kate Bush,1985

DAS OATH

[killyourhead]

@xsamestesx FUCK they already did a haredcore cover of it, now I can't.

[acdcislegand]

this is awesome! oh just to the older people who think this generation has no taste, im 11 years old.

[360Gamer2010]

@acdcislegand I'm 94 years old and what is this glowing screen in front of me? Why are my pants on backwards? Zzzzzzzz.

[SirBanuTheFourth]

@acdcislegand Our generation dosen't have any taste, but there are still a few of us. It's cool that you're 11 and in to this, though, I'm 13 and i haven't been into the punk thing like this and the clash etc for long. So keep listening to the good stuff!

[rastafarianman413233]

[AVIARYCOURT]

I remember KJ doing a CND rally and the music echoing round Trafalgar Square sending shivers down my back!

[godis4sale]

Man, this is great. This version is just so much more urgent.

[nomorepeopleband]

I've heard some of Killing Jokes' other tunes and dig most of it, including this song. Sounds like a pissed-off Devo.

[seamusheaney123]

saw a great live theatre gig that Youth did with the playwright jonathan moore which had the same brilliant energy. great stuff

[kbinco]

Oh the memories of the 80's, all the nights I danced to this song. I miss those day soooo much!!

[honeybane]

[bufon63]

Every time I hear this is the first time - M A S T E R P I E C E O F E X P R E S S I O N

[DrSativa]

Youth's bass playing is brilliant in this

[anUltaigh]

Cheers for posting!! Absolute killer track!! The memories!!!

[Pingulevski]

My 7" single (with Astaire sleeve as depicted) is rotting in a Doncaster cellar while I rot in the Western Isles. Bah. To say the fucking least.

[yvettefoto]

i like the Peel version better. It captures the way they were live...and they were amazing!

[nemesisexit]

@yvettefoto

Your joking, they were crap live

[jerryflyn]

@nemesisexit What are you on about - I saw them loads of time in the early eighties and they were brilliant every time! Thank God they came along with this and Requiem when they did - once the Pistols etc had gone they kick-started the whole music scene...

[Thewonkandfriends]

Wow. That's even better than the Ha! version, which is even better than the album version.

[Problembeing]

The best fucking song. Love this original version. Had the 7" with the Killing Joke Army conscription form :P

[keeef67]

@Problembeing

still got my army call up papers from the original single

[Problembeing]

@keeef67 I'm sure I got the damn thing somewhere. I've moved so many times over the years..

[La77a]

@keeef67 yeah that was a good piece of cynical marketing.
