Killing Joke - Love Like Blood | The Story Behind The Song | Top 2000 a gogo

[@ErikThiart]

One of the most underrated bands in history

[@mikewilson3581]

Killing Joke need more credit. They bridge the metal fans and punks together. And Geordie's guitar is spectacular on this.

[@danielpayne500]

Yes but also also the Industrial And dub people as well so it grabs a mix of over as i got in to the Dub Remixes And that So i worked Back wards as well So yes

To be fair, Geordie’s Guitar is spectacular on anything!

[@nockianlifter661]

@@BananaCologne There was a YT on identifiable guitar sounds-the usual suspects like Brian May, but not Geordie who’s sound to me is instantly identifiable and unique.

[@multiversos1]

RIP Geordie and Paul -The Raven King. Gone but never forgotten. Such a sublime and important band for me growing up in the Eighties. Push, Struggle... :) Jaz seems such a wise and funny man who never takes himself too seriously. A lot of their newer albums are great too but were overlooked by most people.

[@NiekKuijpers]

I genuinely think this is one of the best songs i've ever heard

[@k.s.421]

Ja, absolut. Als ich ihn das erste Mal im Radio hörte (als Teenie in der DDR) bin ich fast umgefallen. Immer noch ein toller magischer Song voller Energie. Jetzt bin ich über 50 und höre ihn immer noch laut 😀🤩

Coleman's mum is adorable!

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

yeh wish he was nicer to her and not so condescending or dismissive.

[@KatAdVictoriam]

Killing Joke will always be one of my favorite bands. I was a teenager in the 90's when I was given a cassette tape of theirs. Been a huge fan since. Jaz's laugh is so bombastic and contagious.

[@charlie-girl72]

You have no idea what impact this track had on me as a teen! Everything was great! Voice, bass, drums the guitar my God it stays a Goldie!!! Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 💕 🇬🇧

[@mikekaraoke]

Love Like Blood-isn't just one of my favs songs from the 80's but in general! Same for the hit album this song was off of: Night Time-take it you heard album or some of it as was a hit album in the Netherlands! I love the Netherlands/Holland, been going there since a small kid in the 80's and 2 of my fav Theme/Water Parks there are Efteling + Duinrell! 😁 Last time I went to Holland went stayed in Zaandam + did day trips to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague + Tilburg before Efteling! Have you been to the UK before and if so whereabouts?? 🤘🏻 Another one of my fav 80's songs that was a hit in the Dutch singles chart was: "Precious Little Diamond" - Fox the Fox + as you prob know was also a hit single in France + Germany! My dad still got the Cassette single when we was in Germany in Hamburg while on holiday 🕺🏻

[@charlie-girl72]

@mikey p hi, oh I've many tracks I love still. I'm 49 so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to music. Also I'm a singer but my life went in a different way. Brought up in musicians family but my family sucks. Unfortunately not everyone is blessed in that. I would love to visit UK though I'm brought up with UK music my parents are rilling stones fans and much more. Led zepplin, deep purple. So much to mention. Pull sex pistols later pil. Times are changed badkt but the music stays.

[@mikekaraoke]

@@charlie-girl72 Hey there, Your 49 you don't look it -not like 49 is old anyway! I'm 40 and I know what I'm talking about when it comes to music 😁 How comes to your life took a different turn and not in music?? Ah so you haven't visited yet, depending on what part you come from doesn't take that long as you know-what part you from?? I don't like Sex Pistols but I do like PIL stuff! I'm fro mthe county of Kent-where as you prob know people like Mick Jagger/Keith Richard came from in Dartford, Kate Bush in Welling....etc I'm between Dartford/Bexleyheath way.

[@johnvroegh2608]

Dit nummer was mijn ingang naar een nieuwe wereld van muziek...new wave/punk/gothic...heb wat avonden doorgebracht in Ekko te Utrecht. Als gitarist raakte geïnteresseert in synths,drumcomputers en vette baslijnen. The Cure,Joy Division/New Order,Sisters of Mercy, Depeche Mode etc... Altijd als ik dit nummer hoor, voel me weer dat 16 jarig jochie in de jaren '80 . Alhoewel mijn muzikale smaak nu wat breder is, krijg ik er nog steeds kippevel van.

[@charlie-girl72]

@mikey p I love so many music kinds, indie mostly doesn't matter what style, alternative anyways, pil has great songs too. Punk is to stand for something independent. I guess I'm a punk for life then. I have good genes dear sorry lol 😆

[@kooskansloos4834]

What a track. What a bloke.

[@Checkofoto]

Jaz is the real deal. Love his energy.

[@68Warpigs]

Mrs Coleman you gave birth to a legend, take pride in that fact my dear. This track is part of the soundtrack of my life, I was 17 when it came out and I went from being a fringe Killing Joke fan to a lifelong fan and seen them many times.

Jaz Coleman seems like a fun guy. Would be nice to hang out with him for the day.

[@shakedydogshake]

Jazz’s intensity and phenomenally hypnotic enthusiasm has been such a blessing and therapy for me for -holy cow, over 30 years now!

[@djtrendsetta5766]

I'm so thankful that Geordie took time out of his GQ modeling career to make all of this amazing music for us. Cheers!

[@Charly_Dont_Surf]

Been a fan since the early 80s such an underrated band.

[@simonjames1964]

Saw them again last night in Leeds , as awesome as ever , long live the Joke .

[@Blackscorpion1963]

3:59 Jaz Coleman's classic quote: "That' what mashimi and I think we're saying this idea of beauty. Samurai concept of beauty, it's not like how long you live, but how beautiful". Huh franta. I got on to Killing Joke here in New Zealand when their 5th album 'Night Time' was released in 1985. Side One Track #3 'Love Like Blood' resonated with me like steel to a magnet. I fell head over heels in love with it. Played it over and over. The bass riff is so pulsating like the aorta, vena cava, and pulmonary veins of the human heart beating strong. Thank you Jaz Coleman, Kevin ‘Geordie’ Walker, Paul Raven, and Paul Ferguson, I love you and respect you. ♥💯🙏🤝My amateur sports career spanned 24 years. 14 years able-bodied, and 10 years an amputee athlete. I owned 10 motorcycles during the '80s. I loved riding them in all weathers.

[@biffbastion301]

I was playing an MMO a few months back and I said I like Killing Joke. The sad reality is they had no clue and thought I was talking about the character. :( "How do I reach these kids?!!" I had to explain they are an awesome band from England. Wish they were doing a show as we are headed to Paris in September. Bucket list is to see them live, but being in the US doesn't help.

This was a great feature. Could have watched a full hour like this.

There was a very important music magazine in Brazil back in the 80s called BIZZ. "Love Like Blood" was chosen best song of the year by all of the critics in the magazine, never before have we seen such unanimity. No radio stations played this kind of music so it took ages for me to listen to it.

I went to one of the record stores in Enschede to trade my Green Day album (revolution radio) for a different record. So I went looking for Night Time at the "K" label in the boxes, and first I found a couple of other KJ albums but I was so happy to found out they had Night Time available as well. It's a new print vinyl but I'm not one of the true old skool vintage records collector, so its fine for me.
