Youth went mad, burning a collection of crisp five pound notes inside his bank … Everything came together when we all met at...Raven's funeral. It was funny the unifying effect it had on all of us. It made us realise our mortality and how important Killing Joke is to all of us. [48] a b c d e Hightower, Laura; DeRemer, Leigh Ann (2001). "Killing Joke". Contemporary Musicians.

There is a force behind each individual and the idea is to find these forces or powers and try to get them to work together. It's more than just star signs; it's a sub-conscious thing. There are four main elements; earth, water, air and fire, and when we started we tried to find a person from each element, to theoretically produce a more balanced and stronger whole. At the time of release, UK unemployment was over 2 million, Nazi skinheads regularly clashed with anti fascists, rioting had broken out in South London and the country was still reeling from the Yorkshire Ripper murders. In the North of Ireland, republicans died on hunger strike (fully encouraged by their 'leaders' for political gain) and riots in nationalist areas were daily occurrences. And, while the album was being recorded, rioting broke out in Brixton (not far from the band's squat in Ladbroke Grove).

We had invited Dave for a Sunday roast dinner with these other people we knew," Coleman says. "The host was serving roasted potatoes and roast pork with applesauce. I don't know how the subject came up, but somehow we got on the subject of cannibalism. And then Dave said one of the best one-liners I've ever heard: 'I've eaten human flesh.'" The host went on to ask about the circumstances under which Dave the Wizard would have eaten a person, and "he finished with the fact that it tastes very much like pork." The singer recalls the food didn't go down very well after that. As for what the Wizard had eaten, Coleman says, "It was an aborted fetus. He hadn't killed anyone. He explained he was completely within the law." Afterwards I bump into some of the people I met in the queue and they loved it, and even wished me a safe journey home. A mate and long term KJ fan who emigrated to New Zealand watched the stream and said they were outstanding which is high praise. He also caught a few glimpses of me in the crowd as an added bonus! Oh and not that anyone cared, but there was no support band, just a DJ playing some decent tunes to warm up the crowd. Van Der Veene, Valac (31 January 1981).
