Great tribute to a truly awesome band and musician. Been a lifelong fan, saw KJ many times, and feel part of me has died. Will always be grateful for the gift that was Geordie. Thanks Nate..
I like almost every KJ albums but BTATS has to be the top purely Post-Punk album they made, followed by Night Time, it keeps getting better and better the more you listen to it, until maybe the 100th time than you should cut down like me.
Saw K J at the Albert hall last year played first 2 albums great gig . Very sad Geordie has gone, fantastic guitarist love his playing . What a band will always listen to them🫡
Being a fan myself for 37 years and also my favourite band I literally broke down crying at the news and was unable to listen to anything for about a week. Raven passing hit hard enough, this was on another level. Been to countless concerts over the years since Extremities era, my biggest regret with the band is that they did not vary their setlist enough with so many Geordie riffs going unplayed, and now never any chance of hearing live again. Absent friends shall live by love.
I had a hard time with Geordie’s passing too. I’m lucky to have seen him in general. Killing Joke is such an incredible band and the world is a worse place without em
Hey Nate - thank you for your tribute to the guvnor. I was lucky enough to be around the band over the last few years and I’m in the book with you! I also wrote a chunk of Twilight of the Mortals with Mont who is also now sadly missed. There was even a time when Geordie was loosely chatting about producing my band! I didn’t think we were ready at the time and I regret that now. I did get to strum that guitar one time and Geordie played my aluminium axe as well. Surreal. Anyway, I will do my humble best to keep that sound alive in my playing and the old ADTs on my channel. Honour the fire matey! 🔥 ❤️ 🩸
totally. I've really been enjoying all his demo stuff, Amazing. Still feels so sad though and I can't believe that I will never see KJ live again. I hope they don't try to carry on with another guitarist as it just wouldn't be right @@natesgreats5208
Well said, friend. I love this band fiercely, but especially Extremities, and especially The Beautiful Dead and Struggle. Geordie's guitar on that album is like a force of nature. I only saw them live once, but what an experience (and they played The Beautiful Dead). "Like a rare flower/Seen by few/Before it withers and dies/Before it withers and dies." Deeply missed.
GREAT VIDEO. totally agree with most of what you said. My fav album is pandemonium. my fav track is Follow the leaders. Requiem is an anthem not a song. What's next?
The Wait, Love Like Blood, Pandemonium, Whiteout. Geordie was the master of harmonics. I was listening to KJ a lot and instantly found out he had recently passed. I still never fully got over Raven's passing and then suddenly Geordie was gone. This was an essential part of me growing up. I will miss these guys with all my heart.
Killing Joke Killing Joke and 'What's this for' are their greatest albums. Have you not listened to them? That's when they were raw and aggressive. Become a true KJ fan.
I love those albums. I just talked about other ones because there are so many albums in the catalog that it’s hard to really show them all off. I’m a fan of KJ for sure.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you for the kind words. You are quite lucky to have seen them as many times as you have.
Only recently realized the brilliance of Killing Joke and Geordie...Thank you for this heartfelt tribute!! RIP Geordie x
Of course! Geordie is the man!
brighter than a thousand suns is amazingly good .No other albums sounds like this one .A true masterpiece of Killing Joke.
Totally agree with you completely. Brighter is one of my favorites

Well said!! It's nice to know so many of us feel the same, that he was appreciated. Gutted though, so gutted.
I completely agree with you. It is nice to know that we all feel so similar. We can all honor his memory by listening to his music together.
