So sad to hear that Geordie has passed away. This was the first place I went, because the recorded version is my favourite Killing Joke song, but this live version where the vocals stop half way and you just get to listen to Geordie's guitar is just bliss. Can't believe he's gone. There was no-one like him.

Geordie's guitar sounds so amazing. He's one of those guitar players that you just know when you hear him. He is so distinctive. Big Paul and Raven are also killing it here. I love hearing Raven's bass so well in the mix. And yes, this version is how the LP should have sounded.

Jaz is actually playing additional keyboards AND singing during the middle part of the song (post 3 minutes). If you look closely you can see him singing into a microphone that's on a stand in front of his keyboard, but the mic must be faulty as no vocals can be heard. Great song, and sounds just as good as an instrumental as it does with vocals. Can't wait to see them at the Forum in October!!!!!!! R.I.P Raven

Agreed. Even with the phased out early stuff compared to the heavier stuff later on you can always tell it's him. I remember watching Top Gear one night and hearing a song playing that I'd never heard before but I knew straight away that it was Geordie playing. Turned out to be Invocation from the Hosannas record. Nobody else could make a semi-hollowbody with P90s sound so crushing yet beautiful.

- @lakesidepark2112 - I don't remember any controversy when this was released back in the mid 80s, except some comments from friends saying it strayed from their earlier sound. But that's KJ. What I do remember is listening to the entire CD over and over. The CD played like one long song...and, very prophetic in its description of mankind. If you were to view the video for Sanity, you can see imagery of Washington D.C., and comparing it to the decline of modern western civilisation.

There is a 2008 remastered version with much rawer guitars. "2008 digitally remastered and expanded edition of this classic album by British Post-Punk legends featuring three bonus tracks. With frontman Jaz Coleman's intense persona and the band's edgy yet atmospheric wall of sound, Killing Joke always stood out amongst their contemporaries. Brighter Than A Thousand Suns was originally released in 1986 and featured remixed versions of some of the tracks instead of the original mixes. This reissue restores the original mixes and is released for the first time as the band originally intended. Bonus tracks include a non album track ('Ecstasy') plus extended mixes of 'Adorations' and 'Sanity'. Virgin."

Чем дольше я слушаю музыку Killing Joke, тем больше понимаю то, что они истинные музыкальные гении-их звучание не спутаешь больше ни с чьим, серьезно. И я лично считаю, что тогда-это был самый классный и самый крутой состав: Коулман, Уокер, Рэйвен, и Фергюссон🤘👍 P.S. Конечно, очень жаль, что бассист, Пол Рэйвен, так рано ушел из жизни(( На мой взгяд, у него была какая-то, особенная "искра", которая приковывала к нему взгляд. Я хоть и не музыкант, от слова совсем, но мне очень кайфово слышать, то, что он играл на своей басухе, это просто суперски👍👍
