Jaz is THE BEST. I am serious. He is a genius. Just amazing. Killing Joke birthed so many bands that it's insane. They are the key... the missing link that created all that we love now.
Jaz is just awesome. Killing Joke are so influential and underrated. I'm glad that these big acts are showing them to the world. The world needs more Killing Joke.
Got into Killing Joke in 1980 and they have decades of beauty behind them. However, the go forward without discounting what has been. Jaz makes me feel better every time I listen to him.
One of the best interviews he's ever had! Thank goodness for a smart, cultured talk, and getting Jaz to open up and not rant. I've watched and read tons of his interviews, and this is literally one of the best!
Killing Joke maybe one of the most underrated bands of all time. They essentially invented industrial metal. All of you lot out there that have never heard of these guys, but love bands like fear factory. Check these guys out. Sort of like the cure meets Motörhead. 🤘🏻😎🔥
I liked fear factory but I don't see much of a similar thing going on. I met jaz in prauge in 2003 and went he took me for meals and bought me some smoke and had conversations about music. Great guy and I got him to sing asteroid to me in a bar. After a few whiskies he did so. ASTEROID HE SCREAMED.!😂😂 GREAT MEMORIES. HE said was trying to get Danny Carey to drum on album grohl drummed on. Hope tour comes to uk🇬🇧
Great interview. I find it so great how gracious and friendly he is. He is treating the interviewer like they are old friends. I love the excitement they both have. Im going to watch and listen to anything involving jaz
So great interview, especially for me as a Russian fan of Killing Joke :) I was very exiting to hear that Jaz had been learning some time in Minsk. Thanks to Jaz for warm word about Russia and our orchestra music, I can't say I'm a big patriot, but it's pleasure to hear such opinion from such musician! P.S. Minister of Culture sucks ever ;D
@@Qwerty-ks8dnWhat?? This was an old comment, but a mischaracterization that I have to correct. It doesn't seem you know "Killing Joke", let alone did you listen closely to this interview. Jaz absolutely despises Communism, he doesn't trust mass Governments period. He prefers Democracies over Communism though, that's for sure... Did you hear him state he "loves the Constitution of America" in this interview? He is for a Collectivism govt, but without a centralized Federal power structure and most definitely against Capitalism which is what is pushing us closer to extinction.
Fascinating man. Met him in Cardiff a few years ago back stage . I hand delivered a copy of Eat Statics latest album "last ship to paradise" featuring Robert Smith . It was a gift from Merv Pepler (eat static) , he couldn't make it so I delivered it. Jaz was over the moon . Genuine dude 👍. Very intelligent interview dude , good job ✌️
F’ me😳! Jaz Coleman on ‘What Culture’? AWESOME!!! My only problem, Beez, mate, how could you open with “What’s it like touring with “Tool”?” 🙄😅! That said Beez, the rest of the interview was freakin’ amazing! Thanks Beez & thanks “What’s Culture”! I think I’m gonna look forward to seeing the rest of this series now😎🤘
I know it's absolutely fucking crazy. This guy is a musical genius. I'm surprised he's never been acknowledged for work done with Nigel Kennedy? One thing I don't like is his hypocrisy about the USA. I recall him stating he'd never tour the States again and that he hated everything about it, including many of the people. Sometimes he should try and remember what he's said in the past. As a musician he's astounding, not so sure about his rants on capitalism etc and the fiasco about the pledge, blaming management well he's a fucking classical musician and composer & he must have had an idea that the cost was a problem? He's always going on about £££s in an awful lot of interviews and how he's always skint. He talks a lot of sense but also a lot of utter bullshit.
Oh I must add, his bs on living on the road and having problems settling. Around 10 years back he was whining about 'missing' his home in NZ & how he hated being away from the country all the time. The weeds affected his memory. Love him as a musician but he comes out with some utter bs. His travelling around is actually good for him money wise. Anyone believing his stories about being a poor musician is naive. He sounds so disparaging about those of us who wanted what we fucking pledged for. I find him infuriating due to his bullshitting.
Its incredible that Tool and Killing Joke comes along. They are both my favorite bands. I mean fuck. Tool and Killing Joke should make a track together.
1985 Jaz: I hate America and don't want to have anything to do with it, we aren't going to tour there. 2019 Jaz: Oh, I love America! We love to tour there! Glad that his mindset has changed
Why Jazz hasn't been offered a knighthood to refuse by the UK government is astounding. The guy is a musical genius. Of course, being a figurehead of such a band As KJ is part of it but ffs, Jagger has been titled. Whether or not you like KJ is here nor there, his classical music genius & his depth of knowledge is astounding.
He has a French one. He is too antisocial for an English one. They don't like people who speak the truth lol. I met Jazz and he told me the day he got it he met his daughter for the first time (who was in her teens).
Sadly with out Geordie I don't know how they will ever sound the same. 30 years of listening to a band that never got huge and changed in a bad way. KJ have been that thing that was the base of the modern rock sound that really very few knew about. I see people finding KJ now and its bittersweet. It's like a thing I've wanted to keep to myself but they also deserve all the credit they get. Not to mention that they have influenced more then music. Comics movies tons of other cultural things in the world would never of been with out KJ
Jaz is THE BEST. I am serious. He is a genius. Just amazing. Killing Joke birthed so many bands that it's insane. They are the key... the missing link that created all that we love now.
Kinda, I think Public Image Ltd and The 1st Velvet Underground record influenced Killing Joke massively
Jaz is the perfect measurements of wisdom, love, fury, humor and lunacy. He's the cool uncle I never had.
Jaz looks crazier than ever. What a brilliant mind and frontman
A force of nature. Legend.
👍🍄🗝🧩
Jaz is just awesome. Killing Joke are so influential and underrated. I'm glad that these big acts are showing them to the world. The world needs more Killing Joke.
PS: They may be my top bucket list bands that I haven't had a chance to see yet. It must happen.
Jaz Coleman interview.
Finally, some proper content.
Got into Killing Joke in 1980 and they have decades of beauty behind them. However, the go forward without discounting what has been. Jaz makes me feel better every time I listen to him.
Same here
I listen to them since 1983. For me its one of the most important and brilliant bands of the world. Thank you so much for your work Jaz.🎸👍🤘
One of the best interviews he's ever had! Thank goodness for a smart, cultured talk, and getting Jaz to open up and not rant. I've watched and read tons of his interviews, and this is literally one of the best!
He doesn't rant?
Well, in that case I need to check this out.
Jaz is a great soul and a Genius!! A Renaissance Man to his core.
What a character Jaz is, genuine article, geezer, thinker, living Crow

Remove the word maybe from the opening sentence, and it's identical to my opinion.

"The Cure meets Motorhead" ..yeah, no.
BRAVO,, THANKS KJ .. BIG THANKS TO PAUL FERGUSON FOR ANSWERING OUR QUESTIONS,, THANKS JAZ FOR MAKING US WEEP WITH THE SYMPHONY
@@ryanbroome177 Burton's clean vocals are almost identical to Jaz's cleans.
He's a lunatic and he knows he's a lunatic, which makes him a genius. No one as original as JC😁👌👍🏻
Jaz laughs so much. Fabulous guy. Love him. KJ just keeps going!
Great interview. I find it so great how gracious and friendly he is. He is treating the interviewer like they are old friends. I love the excitement they both have. Im going to watch and listen to anything involving jaz
Great interview from Jaz. Great start to a series. Btw..The orchestral record based around Killing Joke music is exceptional. Jaz is a crazy genius.
Possibly one of best interviews I’ve seen with Jaz Coleman. Good job!
The best live band around 🎶👌
Cancelled their show in my hometown El Paso, Sigggh was stoked to see them for the first time. Highly underrated band

He never criticizes Putin and other dictators, only democracies annoy him.

Wow. A bliss to see interviews with two attentive individuals. Goes down like handwarm honeybutter...
Actual questions. Cheers interviewer!
Jaz has a wonderful laughter. hahaha

Love Jaz, and thank goodness for Beez, what a great interview. Thanks.
this is truly a great interview, thanks for this!
Wikipedia page ? Jaz deserves a Wikipedia chapter. A living legend.
I LOVE Jaz's laughter! 😂
Sounds like his music, in a way. The cackle at about 20:28 called Hosannas From The Basements Of Hell to my mind, for some reason.
@@gregmerritt9366 He did the same kind of laugh in the very end of Extremeties, Dirt and *Various Repressed Emotions. I loved it 😁
I can remember seeing them at Edgbaston Cricket Club in the very early years. The drummer was the singer at the time
Jaz is totally mesmerising...and ridiculously eloquent !
Genius must be served at all cost.

Tool's relevance is close to absolute zero.
RIP RAVEN
i adore tool
What a great man and friend! So many hilarious times.
The fuck?!? This is amazing. When did WhatCulture get on this level?
He is a legend!!
From looking at Jaz Coleman's overall body of work in the music world, I find it hard to believe that he hasn't been offered knighthood.
I know it's absolutely fucking crazy. This guy is a musical genius. I'm surprised he's never been acknowledged for work done with Nigel Kennedy?

Well, he IS a Chevalier. Knight in France from what I gather, but that old bag the Queen should recognize a great Englishman too .
@@youjoker9647 Jaz's music genius is diametrically opposed to his intellect and common sense.
@@miked7795 The Old Bag doesn't like awarding knighthoods to people like Jaz: he is too outspoken and musically too good for this "award".
No one questions his Lucis Trust affiliations?
No Kidding! Big boner red flag for me as well as the UN. Dark powers behind this global beast system that has been gaining speed to the finale...
Please interview Band Maid!!!
They deserve the publicity, they are the current best Japanese band.
Great interview! 😀
That was awesome. Thxu
Jaz appears to be turning into Alice Cooper
Great Interview
what a great fucking interview. Jaz is a badass
Great interviewer.
Its incredible that Tool and Killing Joke comes along. They are both my favorite bands. I mean fuck. Tool and Killing Joke should make a track together.
One of the two most important bands, politically, of all time...
Skinny Puppy, Faith No More also
Which ones?
@@Agte1234 FNM are communists. You support extremism and tyranny?
@@Qwerty-ks8dn 🤯🤯🤯❓❔❓❔❓💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
Notice how you never see Jaz Coleman and Alice Cooper together or in the same place at the same time? 🤔
Pall Aaarrgghh! No?
He's morphing into Vincent
Yeah one is fake and one is real.
@@avpr1574 www.zimbio.com/photos/Alice+Cooper/Jaz+Coleman No, nobody is fake!! :)
Coolest shirt ever! Pura vida Costa Rica
Gotte love the guy; awesome :)
NICE INTERVIEW....PRO
Tool and KJ awesome.👍👍👍👍
God I love him 😍
See you tonight! \m/

I would give a lot, having a cup of cafe with him...🙄☕
Jaz sometimes comes off as Nigel Tufnel. A more mental Nigel Tufnel.
Spiritual arm of the UN a killing joke? That is perfect.
jaz coleman, freddie mercury, engelbert humperdink, cliff richards . the contribution india/anglo-indians have on music is unsurpassed
Who's indian?

Jango Edwards ?
Far fucking out !
imagine the album after all this shit were in now..........killing joke are the best band,they are my beatles
John Powell's book "How Music Works" is better.
wow, in hindsight somethings itchy
He'd look exactly the same if he cut his hair differently.
is that a wig?
yep
Killing Joke are better than Guns N Roses, and that's the truth
How dare you spend your own money ..... !!
Nirvana's Come As You Are is mainly musically a total rip off of 80s from KJ.
Hes dead right, bono, geldof, garret, scummmmers
