steppenwolf Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Love Like Blood - Killing JokeRemember this band?This is their one & only hit, reaching #16 in 1985.This one's for you Mercutio. I was seriously confused for a while, because I've never heard of them.That was one severely disturbing comic ... I remember thinking "Shit, I'm just a kid, should I be reading this?"And by then I had already read The Exorcist, wherein I encountered my first instance of the word 'fellatio' and was confused when I checked up its meaning in the dictionary. Whatever did it mean by "oral stimulation of the male genitalia"? Of course more research was demanded thereafter, I was 11. Almost.It's not a joke, they are back,let's see if they will score their biggest hit ever with this release!In Cythera - Killing Joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
