Do you ever see what Jello mostly does with his time these days? Re-posting memes all day every day from propaganda pages that are in the business to promote… Joe Biden.

There is a difference between bands that replace the sing but still remain an artistically changing band ( acdc and iron maiden)...and bands that replace someone who just mimics. I mean my god even the new journey guy is extremely talented, but it doesn't take much just to sound like Jello... Not much talent... Only thing that makes Jello great is how original he is with his expression and additude....that's y he's prominent, not because his vocals are so wide and technical

Yeh saw them in Bristol UK about 15 years ago, was a good night out but yeh... not really DK. Look at how prolific Jello has been with guantanimo school of medicine and before that album's with DOA and the Melvins. They're still just playing the stuff he wrote.

Great cover. But that's not a DK band without Jello

That's a hot take. Super controversial, I don't think anyone has said this before.
If they recorded a new album of new songs it would be, but this is a cover band.

Just one year ago this was. Good to see D.H. got to spend his last year on earth doing what he loved.

You should have gave him a rusty fish hook🤣
Dead Kennedys needs Jello Biafra.
No Jello No D.K. that simple.

No Jello, no Dead Kennedys
I don't remember the need of a double bass drum pedal in any of the DK's music.
Ok
I’m a younger millennial and loved the Jello days. Klaus and EBR are amazing, but it’s not the same without Jello
Not Dead Kennedys without Jello.
Surprisingly better than I was expecting - but the singer needs to cool it with the Jello vocal impression.
painful...

Didn't play the UK much when Jello was with them but caught them twice, and have fond memories.
I saw them post jello and was a good night out. But honestly given the choice I'd rather see Guantanimo School of Medicine with jello than DK without.
Holy geriatrics! Y’all still ROCK! AND their my age. I just don’t look in the mirror anymore
