    Paul Raven (January 16, 1961 - October 20, 2007), aged 46

      it wasn't suppose to be a killing joke album. It was suppose to Jaz's solo album, but it went way over budget and the record label demanded they release it under Killing Joke name. Paul Raven demanded his name be removed from the album, as he didn't contribute to it, and he and the drummer quit. The drummer and bass player here are session guys.

      @@nicholas6252 Yep, in NYC recently, 5th avenue by Madison Sq. Park. I think it was whole bike, not just the lock being used to beat someone. (lol) It's all ops, getting regular people fighting each other like the CIA did in Central America in the 80s...i.e. the playbook for a coup is being used on us, as it was perfected by Anglo-American civilian intelligence in the 3rd World and to a degree on the Soviet Union. The thought is to bring down two giants the same way, but we are not the USSR. This is not our first executive coup attempt either first it was JFK and now this.
      In 1962 the attempt to start war with Cuba and thus the USSR was foiled by JFK. We were weeks away from war with Russia via Syria by the end of 2016. Continental Europe and East Asia, greater Eurasia you might say, all benefit from US - Russian confrontation and mutual devastation if not destruction - who benefits ultimately is, at least me, no one but the genocidally suicidal old world elites. Funny that we were intended to take the role of an unthinking battering ram for the British Empire after participating in the World Wars, but after these past twenty years of wars we know better about how they've divided and conquered before. What is around the corner, if the blue bloods steal the presidency or any office, after the people have spoken - will be unlike the way any other people in the world would handle it as we have numerous measures intended to keep imperial powers of any kind from simply buying the legitimate offices and then taking over; 2021 is an interesting time to be alive. Killing Joke is amazing to this day and I know Jaz has expressed love for the US Constitution. It would be some joke if we made it through this because the US didn't collapse and we stayed out of foreign war. No drama in that I guess.

      Not intended as parody at all, unfortunately.

      @ciao214Z I didn't just randomly hear the song and make wild assumptions about the band because of it. I am familiar with their entire recorded output, and there are parts of it (especially the sixth and seventh studio albums) which I really can't listen to. That is mainly because of the production, but that in turn is because the band was trying at that point to replicate their earlier chart success. Once they gave up on this - which took a while - and went back to pleasing themselves, the problem went away

      It's not about whether you like it or not, the bass player and drummer left the band embarrassed by the album. The progressive chord structures was much better on the following album "Extremeties...".
      But this album, its just synths and half realised sketches of songs, 'America' being the most commercial sounding hence this video. It does not follow on thematically from the two previous records at all. If you like it, fine, but please don't try and say this is a Killing Joke Album, or that to point out that it's not a Killing Joke Album is somehow wrong.

      There was a time ( long, long ago! ) when Geordie and Big Paul sported great mullets or quiffs. Even Youth had a full-head of dreadlocks but now they are all, sadly, bald old farts! Only the Black Jester himself can claim to have more hair today than when he started this phenomenon called Killing Joke in '78

      I laugh when people talk shit bout America, when they live ed In a 2nd rate America, and yeah,we have massively fucked up government,but almost all countries in the western hemisphere,all of europe,australia,japan,all rely on us for protection,support and help. If it's so bad,why mfers dont stay in middle east or mexico.At least have the courtesy to speak englizh,i think its fucked that I'm expected to learn Spanish and get a guy at my work as a translator to give instructions to some employees. That's arrogance,when I lived in denmark,guess what? I had to prove I knew enough Danisb to work there. But this country is king of double standards,black pride,brown pride, but white pride? Oh no,dont be proud of your rdd racist heritage.lol,how the cuck do they know? My fam are from sweden,came in 1896,I have a scrapbook w copies of pics,documents,etc. They settled in mckeesport ,pa . Long after slavery,and I'm proud of my heritage.

    I know this album was supposed to be asolo effort from Jaz Coleman, but for some reason the record company released it as a Killing Joke album(hense the different bass player and drummer in this video). Geordi is on the entire album on guitar. While its really NOT a true KJ album in the sense that is was meant to be,IMHO,it is ne of their BEST ALBUMS AND its a shame they never toured from it or really played any songs from it live. Love the album and this song. The Calling, America, and Outside the Gate are my personal favorites for this album,including others

    And as I watched I just cried and cried

    And we will eat the finest foods
    A mansion in New England
    A silver dollar for every child
    Where everybody has got their price
    They'll sustain our way of life
    You and I will fly to Rio
    I'll make you feel like a millionaire

    And with our allies-fight the good fight
    A 1st class, 5 star enterprise
    Now everybody's got to compromise
    My moral codes on overload
    Liberty still takes its toll
    Take a look at the losers wasting in the bars
    Where they cut their losses!
    I can survive the rat race honey
    Time is money and money is honey honey

    And as I watched I just cried and cried

    There were fireworks in the Gulf
    There was champagne at home
    How I love America
    But showbiz and Hollywood still shouted out-America
