Empire Song - Killing Joke (Top Of The Pops)

[@jimaginata]

Youth in his white suit and dreads; cool as fuck!

[@gregbruce5601]

jaz had done a runner to iceland think its the roadie on keyboards

[@spinach-colour-joey6776]

can't believe this got on totp, it would never happen these days!

[@annthorpe8411]

Believe it or not this performance was introduced by the former Stoke City and Tottenham striker Garth Crooks!

[@tanpiltanpil]

I remember this well. Jaz ran off to Iceland and temporarily deserted the band. He was quickly followed by Geordie and Ferguson, leaving Youth to form his own band called Brilliant. Paul Raven would be the bass player on the next album, Fire Dances.

[@SongofSolomon211]

This is really jarring, but it has a fascination for me. Probably because it's "brilliantly unique".

[@tostare]

A brilliantly unique appearance, thanks for posting.

[@seamusheaney123]

youth told me that jaz was actually in iceland, following a leyline to avoid what he thought was an imminent nuclear catastrophe. so there you have it.

[@Nintendofan981]

I love how they had the nerve to get some bee-keepers suit to play Jaz's part LOL

[@65BigNorm]

Wow awesome I remember watching this. Couldn't work out at the time why Jaz wasn't there and then it came out he had gone to Iceland. Strange seeing Youth with all that hair ;o)

[@Serum462]

Wow....'Top Of The Pops' is pretty badass now. lol

[@bossskinhead1969]

this is the first time i saw them on totp then i was hooked on them what a band they done a brilliant set on the tube got it on video somewhere

[@RammsteinKockbein]

I saw them on Riverside at the time (and read the reports about Jaz), but I can't recall them being on TOTP with this. Wikipedia confirms it.

[@matshovelkicker6716]

"Jaz, beware of the bee !"

[@robertcaffrey6097]

Thanks for taking the time to upload and share. Mysterious man in the mask? It's not Jaz.

[@tveye]

Thanks man. It sure isn't.

[@emilyoshiro]

BRILLIANT!!!

[@nuuuurrr]

remember this well, n grabbed it next day.

[@tveye]

Yep sure is, and thats why the beekeepers suit.

[@tveye]

@houmanDMD Cheers man you're welcome

[@caio20118]

Still digging the Revelations album but this one is a great song.

[@bontakt]

jaz was not there. he was in NZ. its some other cat in the bee keeping suit. a friend who was there told me.

[@danielscissorhands]

Iceland, not NZ.

[@PaulAJohnston1963]

God I remember this

[@kingofpunk1977]

Why did Jaz go to Iceland? That's where Mums go! as it happens I asked him why he did & what he said to me was.....girlfriend trouble!!!

[@laydeemuff]

Brill song, brill band!

[@stevobath]

@CONSIDERABLYMORE1 Got a point there.There was 'gangs' around but it was all about music & not pointless violence cause you live in the wrong post code. Now its all utter crap to varying degrees!

[@joralebedev8166]

Is this at the point where Jaz ran off to Iceland? Why the beekeeper's suit?

[@elcondor1541]

great

[@rickcummings4651]

ace

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

KJ on totp wtf?

[@uncleambient]

Is that Jaz in the space suit?

[@tveye]

Nah man, this is when he'd fled to Iceland. Space suit is a stand in.

[@uncleambient]

Thought so, thanks. I remembered Jaz went awol around that time.

[@itscrowtime]

What the fuck is going on with Geordie's guitar? He's playing a Gibson SG but is world renowned for playing his trademark white Gretsch? Someone please explain!

[@jakobarchibald5738]

itscrowtime He is famous for using a Gibson 295 goldtop, this is before he got that when he used a les Paul deluxe and an sg junior

[@MrDoremouse]

ha ha ha ha ha!

[@nicholaspyall1312]

hehe

[@fuckYOUbuchGOdie]

why the fuck is jaz in a Beekeeping Suit?

[@danielscissorhands]

That ain't Jaz.

[@amandaprill6290]

The bass player paul raven looks like his got a spider on his head

[@tveye]

Just months before Raven joined Amanda, that's Youth with the dreads, which he Super Glue-ed apparently.

[@richfeddersen5173]

It's actually Youth on bass, but you're right about the spider - sort of a spider that's been electrocuted
