Trailer for a new documentary about Killing Joke called “Killing Joke: The Death and Resurrection Show”. Seems to be pretty interesting!
The Film MySpace boasts:
Set against the return of the original Band’s line-up for the final 30th anniversary worldwide tour, the film is based around the dark, humorous and often misunderstood portrait of the perverse, encyclopedic genius of Killing Joke’s founding front-man Jaz Coleman and the strange powers over other’s reality that he claims and seems to have.
The film covers the history of Killing Joke; dubbed the Forefathers of Industrial and considered to be one of rock’s most influential bands you’d be hard pressed to find many bands who haven’t at one time or another cited Killing Joke’s music and belief system as an influence. The members of Nirvana, The Cult, Metallica, Tool, KLF and Soundgarden are just a sampling of the musicians who have admitted to being under the Joke’s influence; Chris Cornell insisted that they were a template that he used in forming Soundgarden.
