Killing Joke

What a mighty band they were, especially live.

My mate had all their albums; I bought the odd single, 'Wardance/Pssyche', 'Requiem/Change', ...

We used to catch the train up to Manchester as 15/16 year olds whenever they played the old Polytechnic (Cavendish Square, I think) and had a route back to the station worked out which, if we ran at full pelt, meant we could stay as late as possible and catch the last train home.
Geordie used to frighten the fuck out of us! He used to get such a great sound out of his guitar, but he hardly moved his arms!
And Youth used to look dirty (not saucy dirty, unwashed dirty!)
Paul Ferguson (or Raven, can't remember ??) was such a powerful drummer.
Jaz just looked like a wanker!
We used to try to look as inocuous as possible, hoping no-one would notice we were obviously not 18! We never did have a problem getting in though.

Great days!
