This weeks WTFF

As a longtime fan of Killing Joke, I am generally pleased when they actually bother to reunite and do something, and certainly their 25th anniversary show next month at the Shepherds Bush Empire will probably be a fantastic event (granted, I won't be flying to the UK to see it, but still...for those that are wondering, its the 24th & 25th), and the opening act will be The Orb (which was co-founded by Killing Joke alum Youth). Apparently the shows will be filmed for a DVD release. And there is a possibility of guests, which considering their circle of followers, could be quite impressive indeed. My guesses for possibles could be Dave Grohl (who played drums on the last album), Danny Carey of Tool (who was supposed to play on the last album), or maybe they finally got Big Paul (KJ's original drummer) off his duff.

But somehow, through means I could only suspect as deeply grounded in dark forces....they will also open for the EU leg of the Motley Crue tour.

I am not....bloody...kidding.

It just makes no sense (or deeply ironic sense) that you would put a trio of schitzophrenic, deathly earnest, raging, anarcho-apocalyptic gloom-metal industrialists open for a quartet of happy-go-lucky groupie-banging, smack-addled, tattoed frat boys. About the only thing they share in common is their mutual appreciation for chemicals.
