KILLING JOKE: Where does the band name come from?
Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.
How did the British band KILLING COKE, founded in 1979, actually come up with their name? Singer Jaz Coleman recalled: “The Killing Joke is like when people watch something like Monty Python on TV and laugh, when in reality they’re laughing at themselves.” He went on to tell Uncut magazine: “We were intimidating. When you’re in KILLING JOKE, you think everyone is like that. Outside of that, people are often shocked by our deregulated humor.”
