Is the reason Eldritch has never played Jihad live because he's had second thoughts about the title? Could be taken the wrong way by the crowd, possibly. Or maybe it's 'cause Pat Morrison's intro brings back bad (or possibly good) memories...

Too bad, I love the track!

The lyrics aren't much, are they?

Not sure how it'd really work live, bit too repetitive, with too few lyrics.

Yeah. Probably boring to perform, and boring to experience.

And miss out on Finland Red, Egypt White? Are you mad?!

Have you heard the current live version of Rain From Heaven?

Aye, a couple of hours ago. At least it worked as a chant, but spending up to 8 minutes with just the occasional shout of "Jihad!" or "Two, five..." would be verging on ridiculous, even by their standards.

... taken what wrong way? Are you seriously suggesting that people will believe Von is a secret Muslim, like Barack Obama?

Or a less secret one like Peter Murphy...

Jihad!

Jihad!

From what I hear Murphy say, he is more of the Sufi kind. Didn't sound like he was interested in killing nonbelievers or waging any sort of war. (except on Brendan Perry maybe )

We got the best track off that album into the live set.

I'm eternally grateful.
