SJA Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 RIP. he had a blog on the Kiling Joke website around the time of the 2003 Killing Joke album (even though Youth/Martin Glover and Geordie ended up playing bass on the album), and he mentioned a warning from his doctor that he had to stop drinking. 80's and Love like blood have great basslines. I think the Nighttime album has got the remaster/expanded release now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99ster Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 My favourite memory of Raven is on the Night Time tour ('85 or '86) - some geeza got on stage at the Oxford Poly gig & was charging around like a madman. Got too near to Raven & bang - he dropped him with one punch - without missing a note of his bassline. Class. A proper old school bass playing hard man.

I've emailed the BBC site to complain - as I'm sure it would upset me if I was one of his family. And 'Requiem' was most definitely Youth playing bass. They could have made a bit more of an effort to get it right! [b]UPDATE:[/b] Well fair play to the BBC - they've taken down the wrong picture since I emailed them (I expect other people did as well).

Bass_In_Yer_Face Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Oh man that's a choker. I'm a big KJ fan in all their various incarnations. 49 is way too young. Edited October 23, 2007 by Bass_In_Yer_Face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="http://www.gearwire.com/paul-raven-killing-joke-ministry-prong.html"]http://www.gearwire.com/paul-raven-killing...stry-prong.html[/url] I remember him using Status & Trace gear for one tour - he's used loads of stuff over the years - was using Warwick amps & Schecter basses for the last Killing Joke tour he did (before he left the band that is).
