Killing Joke

[Ducky]

I usually skip Invocation for that reason. And it's sandwiched between the two best songs on the album.

Probably their best artwork, mental stuff altogether.

Stuck 2003 on over breakfast there - not a duff note on it. The House That Pain Built being the highlight, immense.

[Necro Red]

The self titled from 03 is shaping up to be on non- stop rotation in my car. It's so good. Grohl's drumming is ferocious and the song writing is so good. I think my favourite at the minute are the last few songs. It is great the whole way through but it ends on such a powerful note. Beauty.

this is my favorite of theirs. Nerd trivia, Grohl played the drums on this album for free (due to the whole 80's track being somewhat ripped off as Come as you are)and played/recorded them after all the guitars were done which is rarely done

[Eoin McLove]

He drummed to the guitars? Mental. It sounds so precise.

Come as You Are is a rip off of 80s? Must listen to that song now and see if I can hear the comparison.

Edit.  Holy shit!

Yeah, the litigation was in motion when Cobain topped himself, I presume it was dropped or settled in the wake of that, I haven't heard anything about it since.

Edit.  Holy shit!

I used to show this to everyone years ago and every time, this was the reaction.

This one is a lot more blatant

Eighties is as close to the Damned as Come As You Are is to Eighties

[Carnage]

Never heard that before, fairly close alright.

[open face surgery]

Someone pointed put The Damned tune to me in the last few years as well.

Holy War by Lizzy also fits into the Love Like Blood and Dr Feelgood bracket.

Reading the Come as you are, 80s comparison i knew there was a third one id heard but couldnt remember. So thanks for posting that

mad isn't it? Grohl being a big fanbiy doing it for free after the guitars is very commendable. Some of his best drumming in my opinion.

[Bürggermeister]

He played to a click track, as did Geordie when he recorded the guitars in the first place. They had used drum machines in the past so no big deal to drop them out and put real drums in. It's fairly common these days for drums to be recorded after other instruments. Grohl, to be fair, seldom gets it wrong behind the kit.

[Carnage]

Listening to Pandemonium at the moment, first time in maybe 20 years. Really takes me back, still a 'new' album to me, I'd been into them for a while at that stage.

My then girlfriend (who was as big a fan as I was) is a week out of double heart valve surgery, mad how fast and dramatic the world turns.

Anyway, it's still a beast of an album despite how desperately it's flailing about in terms of relevance.

[Circlepit]

Just talking to a drummer the other day about Killing Joke, he told me all the Grohl's beats were preprogrammed, he had to go in and copy what was exactly laid out for him.
