Jaz is cooler than the other side of the pillow...I finally got to see KJ when they were touring with TOOL in Boston. They blew the doors off the TD Garden. What a great show! Ill never forget it.

Jaz is a genius, a visionary, a compassionate being. One in millions!

[@johnraspberry2269]

Killing Joke is an amazing band, Jaz is a genius, no doubt.

[@thetriumphofthethrill2457]

Although he gets carried away gotta love his intellectual confidence and passion.

[@AndrewManassehCommunications]

A truly extraordinary person.

In 2003 I was moderating the message board for the band AMEN, who was touring at the time opening for Killing Joke. I went to one of the shows, got in early, and as I was standing around with the band Jaz came in, walked up to me, shook my hand, and started talking about how great the night's show was going to be. Talked to me briefly and when he walked away the guys said "Dude!! You know who that was right??!!" I said "Yeah, Jaz from Killing Joke. Seems like a pretty cool guy." they said "No, you don't understand.... he's really eccentric and reclusive. He hasn't talked to any of us this whole tour and he just came in and started talking to you! That was nuts!!!" Definitely something I'll never forget.

Hell yeah! That's an awesome story.

[@kareybarey13]

You had an electricity he liked.

[@blackmore4]

Good story but what's the "message board"? And how and why d'you moderate it?

[@Qwerty-ks8dn]

Jaz is a genius but also a fanatic and delusional.

[@louhosker6004]

@@Qwerty-ks8dn In what respect can you quantify that he is delusional and fanatic?

[@paulmitchell5349]

Some small minded Brits might accuse him of arrogance,but knowing what you want is central to any creative person.

[@charbander]

Come on Coleman...much more of this please...such an individual..clearly also travelled back to now...he is needed...listen up all, listen up..

[@marcosbelloperez5263]

Awesome guy, so much talent.

[@Bhagavanize]

Pretty cool motivational speech!

[@stephanvenner2939]

Very motivating. Jaz Coleman, one of the wisest musicians. I agree completely with him. The Dresden Dolls were also invited to this Show. Only Amanda Palmer has a Kurtzweil Piano.

[@kevcatnip7589]

This cheered me up a lot ,,,great guy

[@luraffaelli5431]

I love you Jaz! Deeply!!

[@martinfitzgerald1605]

My hope is the Joke keep doing what they've been doing for 40 years🏅

[@jagargal]

It would be great to watch the whole session... or at least a little bit more. Great words and experiences!

[@mp20233]

I did it and i thank you Jazy

[@DM-eg4ij]

Genius

[@luraffaelli5431]

I love you deeply Jaz.

[@thomasfitz]

You can DO it!

[@MrSomethingElse]

Fuck Yeah!

[@noestahechalamielparatuboca]

y sino a banquero verdad?

[@mardigrasqueenofthesouth8847]

i think you have to sacrafice everything to make it in music industry, even things which are not so good.

[@celticwarrior1365]

Jaz Coleman stole £30 off me years ago and has never given it back. The man is a thief!

[@RagedContinuum]

i think you're telling the truth

[@andyjordan79]

He also stole off me when he and the band didn't bother to play in milton keynes in 1991,but such is the genius of the man,i've never held it against him.

[@RobKirbyson14]

He ripped me off once....when I bought 'Me Or You'....

[@nasdkhan254]

He stole of me when I bought Outside the Gate
