No, they did file a case.. ...and IIRC even had musicologists ready to testify. But as soon as of Kurt's demise, Geordie refused to go any further, saying he didn't want 'blood money", said instead to "give it to the kid [Frances Bean]." And let's skip that cop-out of "oh, well, everybody stole, so, nobody did wrong": Grohl later admitted to the whole thing [aka the rip-off] to the band and asked to play on KJ 2003 out of respect and to make amends. . IIRC (from the Gathering) was that KJ most likely took the riff directly from the 1968 Equals' song Baby Come Back, in part because Killing Joke have always been huge reggae fans from their very beginning (1978) which also predates The Damned's song. Rest, Geordie. #geordiewalkerrip
KJ is the best thing my dad ever introduced me to. He was a punk kid back in the 90s and was a huge part of The Gathering. Rest in peace, Joker.
Yes! Killing Joke is awesome!! 🤘
@EdCollects I was also a part of The Gathering; may I ask who's your father?
@@samisatlacc7736 i can't divulge that due to attempts made to keep stuff private.
I've wondered if George Harrison has ever gave an explanation of "MY Sweet Lord" in regards to RL Mack's "He's So Fine" performed by The Chiffons?
Life Goes On is such a great song! The Damned just released a new album.
Whoa, I didn't know they were still making music!
@@EdCollects Yep. The album is called Darkadelic! It has some good songs on it.
Kurt Cobain: The Man who "Ripped off" the World.
YES. I always said this. Both great bands. Smells Like Teen Spirit is kind of like Boston's hit, too.
Yes, I definitely hear the Boston song.
Wow that's nice of the killing joke not suing nirvana for that
Yeah I think they had a case. Then the Damned could have sued them...
No, they did file a case..

Love Kurt's wrinkled shirt in opening photo
Yeah I noticed that also. He was the coolest.
They all rock!
🤘🤘🤘👊👊
Not only did they rip off the riff, but they ripped off the name. There was a band in the 60s called Nirvana.
Killing Joke great band😊
Absolutely! 🤘🤘
Disco sounds like disco.
STOP TELLING PPL ABOUT KJ I DO MOT WANT TIKTOKKERS GETTING HOLD OF THEM 😮😮😮😮😮😮😂
and Led Zeppelin RIPPED OFF most of their songs from blues songs
Its not , none of this is true. Truth is nirvana got this from another song, and killing joke never threaten or considered to sue
You need to check Google buddy.
@@EdCollects you need to check facts
@@elfonzo18 let's keep going back and forth forever. YOU need to check the facts. Your turn.
