Thats it killing joke are now over..a unique sound and style...its been a fantastic journey for me and many other gatherers...always be my favourite band..influenced many others...r.i.p with raven...geordie....Columbia gazz 👌
Mike, I did a community post on his passing, but this is very nice. Thank you for doing it. A statue should be put up in his home town Chester Le Street. RIP Geordie. RIP Killing Joke
I can still hear my mate's gasp of joy when he first listened to the opening cords of love like blood. He turned towards the jukebox in the pub we were drinking in as if it were going to enlighten him to who was playing such joyous music. The expletives rolled out of his mouth with several what the fucks... possibly the best reaction from someone who wasn't a fan of Killing joke. Thanks Geordie RIP..
Been a fan of killing joke since the beginning saw them at Albert hall last year . They were as good that night as they ever were fantastic gig. Geordie will be sadly missed great guitarist as will killing joke.
Sadly, so many are passing away as we all approach our golden years. He did play on a lot of albums. Very nice tribute with a lot of info I had no idea about.
Hi, No, I'm from Sunderland NE England and your pronunciation of Chester-le-Street is spot on. I'm also a big fan and I'll miss his unique playing style. Eighties and Love like Blood were fantastic examples of Geordies' style of play. Another great musician gone too soon.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. I've only just learnt about his passing, and it feels like I've entered a new stage of the world's history, gosh.My thoughts go to people who were closest to him, to Jazz and Big Paul on the side of Killing Joke.
Fantastic video Mike. Geordie was so important to post punk a real pioneer of his guitar style. Definitely the sound of Killing Joke. I first saw them in the early eighties after the debut was out and his guitar sound was breathtaking. Thanks for showing you collection, it has inspired me to try and fill the gaps in my collection. Excellent video! Mike
Quando ho saputo della sua morte nn ci volevo credere. Ho visto 2 volte i KJ e sono grandi musicisti e persone simpatiche. Geordie era tranquillo, Jaz e Paul scherzavano di più. Ma Geordie suonava la chitarra come nessun altro e vivrà sempre nel mio ❤️ ciao Geordie😢 🌹🎸
like Andy Gill, one note and you knew who it was. A huge influence on modern music. I am, like a lot of people, quite shocked by his passing. Thanks for putting this tribute together.
Tom Verlaine & Geordie were my favorite guitar 🎸 players. Both were substance over style players. Both had a signature sound that many tried & failed to emulate. Nighttime is my favorite Killing Joke album.
I so wish that Killing Joke would have included songs from brighter than a thousand suns in their live setlist! It's as good as their other albums as far as I'm concerned. Rest comfortably, Geordie.
@@davidellis5141 Nope. Why would the production have any bearing on whether they played the songs live? The real reason was precious Youth generally refused to play on anything he didn’t perform on record.
@deletebilderberg Youth Produced Bittersweet Symphony in 97. Probably the song of the 90's. Follow Killing Joke ? ..They have a total disdain of that album & Virgin pushing The Rolling Stones Producer on them. I think the record is OK ..they didn't.
Great video. Truly a big loss. Got to meet him once and he was incredibly nice; just really cool guy. I’ve been collecting KJ for some time and am looking to thin out the collection. I don’t have everything but do have some of the items you mentioned not having. Let me know if you might be interested in connecting. RIP Geordie.
"Love like blood" worst track on "Nighttime" ???? 'So Tabazan" is better than "Love like blood" ??? And "Absolute Dissent" just okay ???????? Listen to "Nighttime " and "Absolute Dissent" again - AB so superior ! "Love like blood" aside "nighttime " has a limp tacky 80s sound to it - "Absolute Dissent " has better tunes and and a deeper more spacious production. Thank you for listening
Yes Tabazan is better than Love Like Blood. And Night Time is better than Absolute Dissent. "Limp tacky 80s sound" - you're referring to Brighter Than a Thousand Suns. I like the heavier sound of Extremities and Hosannas. Absolute Dissent is just ok, no memorable tracks.
Nobody played like Geordie, he was one of a kind!
Absolutely. Unmistakable sound. He will be missed.
Thats so treu. İ learned playing guitare because of geordie.
Geordie one man orchestra! no solos just drive.... you quite right of course in this, no Geordie, no KJ... thats why his passing is so painful.
x
Agreed, can't imagine KJ without him.
Truly a huge loss for the music world. RIP Geordie.
Agreed.
A beautiful and heart felt tribute to Geordie Walker. 🙏
Thank you, appreciate it.
Thats it killing joke are now over..a unique sound and style...its been a fantastic journey for me and many other gatherers...always be my favourite band..influenced many others...r.i.p with raven...geordie....Columbia gazz 👌
Its sad that not only is he gone, but KJ is over.
My favourite guitarist it❤❤❤
One of mine, for sure. Top 5.
Helped me through an extremely dark time this year. I will never forget that.

Thanks for the great story.
Geordie will be missed for sure. He was amazing. Very nice to see your collection. I have a couple of holes to fill.
Thanks Brian. He was amazing.

Wish I could have seen them live, had tickets a couple times and both times they cancelled the tour. Geordie was one of the best!
Sadly, so many are passing away as we all approach our golden years. He did play on a lot of albums. Very nice tribute with a lot of info I had no idea about.
Thanks Steven. Lucky for us, KJ put out a lot of music for us to listen to.

Agreed, he will be missed. Gone way too soon.

Agreed, just devastating to his bandmates.
Was such a gut punch to loose such a giant. RIP Geordie. Thanks for sharing.

I have been listening to Night Time quite a bit lately, perfectly demonstrates his creativity and talent.
Agree about Verlaine and Geordie. They had the substance and the style as well.
Excelente retrospectiva. KJ faz parte da vida de todos nós...
I so wish that Killing Joke would have included songs from brighter than a thousand suns in their live setlist!
It's as good as their other albums as far as I'm concerned. Rest comfortably, Geordie.
They didn't like The Production of Chris Kimsey.

Seems like he would be a really cool guy. I would be interested in seeing what records you have, thanks.
5:30 It's the most Killing Jokeish for sure.😂 I'm not sure I could articulate what that even means.🤙
I was happy to find Night Time on CD from a record store I visited a few weeks ago. My favorite Killing Joke album, wish I could've seen KJ live.
What is it for classic Killing Joke album love those songs but I'm a Killing Joke Purist I love everything they do❤❤
Its a decent album, love the song "Exit", but I like the other 4 of their first 5 better. Great band regardless. Thanks for watching!
Fuck! Had no idea. RIP :(
Yeah, horrible news. Huge loss.

RIP Geordie. Chester-Le-Street is pronounced Chester Li Street
