It's crazy how good the newer Killing Joke stuff is.
@Voss451 it really is. i remember buying the 2003 self-titled, hoping for something that was at least listenable with a couple standout tracks, and being totally blown away...repeat process with each successive album.
And Nirvana say they didn't rip that bass line off...
But you really do need to see Jaz to get the full KJ effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1U1Ue_5kq8
@simonp just to further stir the pot. this is from the damned album strawberries released in 1982: http://youtu.be/c5uSsK3t2pw
@btener never heard that before but you're right it's very similar, though it doesn't quite have the menace of KJ or Nirvana
