The Fall Of Because - Killing Joke

Killing Joke live à L'Hammersmith Palais diffusé en 1982 dans l'émission Megahertz présentée par Alain Maneval. Killing Joke at the Hammersmith Palais in 1982 only 6 songs were broadcasted by the french TV.

[@Artaud1957]

Back in the day, when I bought "Killing Joke," "What's THIS for" and "Revelations," I always wondered if they could possibly sound as powerful live. Living in Cleveland, USA, I didn't think I would ever have the chance to see them live. This video and the others in this series show just how amazing KJ were live. I NEVER get tired of "The Fall of Because." I listened to it this morning, 10 May 2019, at work. The first 3 Killing Joke records were among the first CDs I bought when it became clear that CDs would replace vinyl. I am in my 60s and will continue to listen to those CDs until I die. Such a powerful, powerful band!

they seem if anything more relevant today!

Revelations classic Album.

[@joralebedev8608]

A fucking force of nature. Thanks for sharing this with the rest of the world.

[@dashwig]

great, tight performance! Killing joke are raw, haunting, monotonous and "primitive" in a great way. the tribal drumming and riffs sometimes have some psychedelic quality to it.

[@malicious1969]

The sound of the Earth vomiting", was how Big Paul had once described Killing Joke. This song, which opens their second album 'What's This For...!" is a masterpiece that fully embodies that description. "The Fall of Because" is indeed raw and primitive, a unique sound unequalled by the recordings that followed.

I'm more of a metal music fan but there was something about this song that just intoxicated me from the beginning, definitely one of my favourites

[@theprinceofwoodford]

probably the most intense gig I've been too, was a great venue, brilliant

[@SuperVoodooguru]

i was at this gig - a clockwork orange at nuremberg. pissing down with rain outside - Aztec Camera got canned off stage and an outdoor b/c camera got pulled over about 3 songs in

[@zoyazoya6785]

An uncanny prescience, had they.

[@AlanProc]

I've asked this before and I'll ask it again has anybody got this gig on dvd? I would pay good money for this fantastic 1982 gig

[@user-no9xk8mg1x]

Fire 🔥

[@diskochimp]

YES YES YES.

[@user-cl7np1jy9n]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸🔥🔥🔥🎸

[@Rhaaboudin]

they ruled the beginning of the 80's: huuuuge raw group: always been mesmerized by Geordie's linear playing and sound: fantastic rythm guitar. They lasted too long; Jazz predicted 20 months before the occidental world went "Boooooommmm"; they should not have exceeded that lapse of time. to be "good" implies to get "better"; they just began to be "better"; so sad.

[@JohnnyB321]

Fkn classic

[@woody5831]

I was at this gig one crazy night & UK Decay / Charge were brilliant & even though they got such a bad time I thought Aztec Camera were great

Indeed there was. They were pretty good, if I recall correctly. However, the title / line comes from Crowley's "Book of the Law".
