Rest in peace Geordie. One of the most influential yet underrated guitarists ever
And he had the BEST dry sense of humor! Funny as hell…Damnit. The world lost an amazing guy. I’m heartbroken 💔
I can't believe I never heard of Geordie or Killing Joke until he passed away (grew up in the 70's & 80's). Now bands like Metallica (Or Kirk's guitar style), and songs like Nirvana's "Come As You Are" make so much sense to me. I feel like I have been so sheltered my entire life! 😂
Who said he was underrated?
Cannot believe so many notes and tones came out of one guitar. It was just a swarm over your head and in your brain. Farewell sir
WHAT HE DIED ?? I JUST LEARNED BOUT THIS BAND THIS YEAR🥲
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. "Love like blood" is definitely one of them.
I'm with there buddy..painfully nostalgic
Exactly my feeling. I think there's a Welsh word - hiraeth - that is sharper and more sadly longing than the English "nostalgia". It's a heartfelt yearning for a fondly remembered past that cuts deep and is indeed bittersweet. Poppies by Teardrop Explodes or Public Image have the same effect on me. They put me in an exact time and place where the world was full of possibilities and i was bursting with raw energy 😁
That's the word I needed in my life, as I get this feeling more and more often lately
They don’t make them like this anymore, so they?
This song seemed to always set one up for the more serious matter played at the tail end of the evening out.
Not joking when I say this might be the greatest song of all time
2023 and this is still a masterpiece
Absolutely this is a fantastic and timeless song you have awesome taste in music
I am diving for work in my car, and this song is a sound track was 13 when this song was arrived
Dang u guys had good music great track
Took me 2 hours on internet to find this song. Couldn't remember the name. Also Shape & Numan- change ur mind is a great number of 1985
Heard this today at work and remembered who it was immediately! Not heard it since 80s! Fab to find it again! ❤
The odd thing about the 80's is that they feel more futuristic than the future we actually ended up getting in the 2020's. It's sad, in a way.
This is the best thing I've ever read about the 80s
For someone who grew up listening to the music of the '60s this would've been incredibly futuristic and almost completely alien. The musicians at the time would've known they were breaking new ground with the technology available to them, especially with synths and new production techniques. The newly-available tech influenced and inspired how the songs were written and recorded. Plus of course the rock and punk music of the '70s that the members of bands like Killing Joke would've grown up listening to. The Fixx is another band that springs to mind. It's a snapshot in time that can't be replicated again. Which isn't to say we can't still record new music like this. But it's arguably more difficult now because the same inspirations aren't there.
brilliant
the modern daY MUSIC IS CRAP.
I agree, i was born in 97 and always preferred listening to music from the 80's and 90's, and some early 2000's rock too. I absolutely can't stand Rap in any form, and i want to shoot myself whenever i walk into a bar and some shitty mumble rap is playing on the radio. And to be honest with you, most modern music these days is all Rap.
RIP the two members of Killing Joke Geordie Walker (December 18, 1958 - November 26, 2023), aged 64 Paul Raven (January 16, 1961 - October 20, 2007), aged 46 You both will be remembered as legends.
I was there the very first time Paul picked up a bass. True story..
Rest in peace Mr. Walker. Guitar tone like angels at war. I shall always miss your guitar work. One of my favorites.
Angels at war. That's an excellent description. Fair play to you, sir.
"Strength and beauty, destined to decay" Absolutely haunting. A masterpiece.
that's life, you get born, grow to a good looking adult and then the decay starts to kick in and then your old and wrinkled and die.
@@ronniedoorzon1576 And we all lived happily ever after.
"So cut the rose in full bloom" is classical wisdom (carpe diem). "Promised lands and fields that never fade in season", see Arthur Rimbaud's "A Season in Hell": why regret the everlasting sun, if we are sworn to a search for divine brightness - far from those who die as seasons turn.
Divine brightness being "brighter than a thousand suns", I'm pretty sure Jaz Coleman would concur!
_"Strength and beauty, destined to decay"_ As do all the works and dreams of man.
Who's listening to this masterpiece in..... 2021 ? timeless song .
(￣ー￣)ゞ
Me. Loved this back in the day as a teen in London and its still a banger.
Miguel Andres Cruz from Costa Rica reporting.
from mexico!
From Ukraine!
And when fkng corona is over I'll open a club for just this music and people who are nice and dress black.
They reckon it will come back again in a mutated form (well, that is what viruses tend to do), but then again, Spanish Flu mutated into something less obnoxious.
Let me know, I'll be one of your first customers.
All nice people dress in Black!
Can I play with my band?
Sounds good to me.
RIP Geordie, amazing guitarist.
Paul Ferguson is got to be one of the most overlooked great rock and roll drummers ever
Absolutely such an amazing drummer who never got his due
Incredible - How on earth did He do that!?!
When you live in a world with John Bonham, Neil Peart, Stewart Copeland and Scott Rockenfield you're going to be overlooked.
As a drummer, I hated him LOL
The way he plays looks like just another normal day for him.. Incredible..!
Paul Raven's bass line is absolutely infectious in this song.
Truly incredible
Way ahead of his time. Nowadays you would call this "djent" or something like that.
Still gives me goosebumps!!!
"Dr feelgood"- esque
@@ahumanjustbeing2466 I’ve always wondered if Nikki sixx may have been influenced by this, or maybe flat out lifted it.
Rest in peace, Geordie 😢...amazing guitarist, amazing talent... you will be missed. 😢❤
Had the luck to see them 3 times, original formation. No other band will ever mix metal, raw punk and dark wave at the same time and sound PERFECT and HOMOGENEOUS.
RIP Geordie Walker of Killing Joke. Left us suddenly and way too soon at 64. The owner of a decimating sound like no other guitar player on Earth.
“Cut the rose in full bloom”. Rest in grace Geordie
My girlfriend said this song sucked, now she's single
Enorme!!!
She deserves
It sucks
You’re my new best friend. I saw them a few years ago in Melbourne in a fairly dodgy venue. It was fantastic.
Mötley Crüe anyone
The synths in the intro give me shivers every time.
The thundering bass and drums riff too, it's like seeing a column of tanks advancing down your street... or fighter jets in the sky above. Brilliant song!
Every fucking time
@@louise_rose The Guitar Riff is the best thing, the first thing you hear and the best, the Riff is from another World.
@@jyejye1077 The song completely captures the Zeitgeist of the later Cold War, the fear of a nucle*r Armageddon and the feeling of having been sent in as players into a drama we had never been part of writing or asked to be in. I remember those days and the song is indeed a time-capsule. "Heartshine" by Mother Love Bone (recorded in 1989), with a similar thundering riff and pounding drums, does something similar - also a brilliant song and to me that one is also about a generation, not just one guy's anguish. Now we are almost there once again.
Those opening notes will always stick with me. Gonna miss you Mr. Walker.
I was 11 in 1985. This song gave that year a special place in my heart. The first time i heard this song, the first sounds (intro) i immediately fell in love with it. RIP Geordie Walker.
Kevin "Geordie" Walker died yesterday. Gutted. Rest in peace, brother.
Hands down one of the best Killing Joke songs
That lad on bass like... "This is how it's gonna be"
Had the honor to rock out and spend quality time with Geordie Brooklyn NY!!!!!
R.I.P Geordie, magnificent guitar hero, unique sound.
This song was my introduction to Killing Joke back in 85. The guitar work hooked me in and never let go. I went out and immediately bought the record. Still my favorite Killing Joke release. RIP Geordie.
This is hard, I'm 38 but the influence of Geordie's guitar playing on my own is massive. Left the stage, but never forgotten.
Favorite riff of all time. RIP Geordie.
Mötley Crue loved this riff so much that put it in Dr.Feelgood hahahahaha
2022 & this tune is still an absolute masterpiece all these years later. Quality music never goes out of fashion
Hi I recommend A New 80's style indie rock Song Called 'Looking into the Mirror' By Robert Nix
Finding this now and this song is sick. They rock it and break all the expected norms throughout. They don't follow a pattern unless it is their own! Hahahaha. Awesome.
Better music then, most music nog sucks
Brilliant song, wonderfully played, sung and performed - a true generational anthem of those days and a classic now. It's right up there with the greatest songs of Joy Division or early (pre-arena rock) Simple Minds.
Here is my club from the 80's where we played this same music and danced like crazy: kzhead.info/sun/lcxmnNqvqauAoZ8/bejne.html
Lyrics, guitar, drums, bass line... Everything in this song is perfect !!! From the 1st second till the last, a masterpiece of the 80's 🙏
One of the most brilliant bands England has produced. Pure genius. RIP Geordie. We all loved you bro.
I just discovered this song now, because I was reading my mother's old letters to a close friend of her. In 1992 he wrote an entire page to her about how much this song was important for him. And now I'm here, 28 years later, listening to the same exact song that he used to listen to. And this feels magical. [Update : idk if anyone cares but I'm currently trying to find and contact her friend, because we have a lot to talk about, wish me luck ! ]
That's because it is.
Whoa that's crazy and beautiful to read. Killing Joke has had a lot of great material of 40 years, very diverse but bluntly put...a sort of punk period but with synth and some good writing, then came this era which was very underrated by fans at the time...Night Time (1985) and Brighter Than a Thousand Suns (1986) may be to your taste; especially the former since Love Like Blood is on it. From there it got more progy and then they got heavier, a bit industrial, not full on metal to my metal attuned ears but that's what music journalists will say : ) ha. Democracy (1996) is also great, took awhile to click. But for anyone reading Night Time is really work it start to finish, it was the bridge between the first big style jump. Glad I finally got into them in the past few years after numerous encounters; I had become so focused on singles and then life turned more introspective. A lot of people only like one or two albums because they can be so different in terms of face value aesthetic i.e. "rebellious uk punk" "new wave" "industrial" "shoegaze" all styles a good band can perform as can a skilled theater actor; playing a variety of roles with a pathos that is still their own. P.S. I sometimes read my uncle's old diaries and it is an amazing connection to have their voice in your head again. Be well friend.
I love this post. I feel that magic as I'm writing this. Thanks for sharing.
@@bobloco6823 I'm so happy I made you feel the bit of magic i felt reading this letter, have a great day my friend ❤
@@gr3y_eminence thank you so much ! I'm gonna listen to that as soon as I can !
26-11-2023 RIP Geordie , thanks for pieces like this one...
RIP Geordie, a very influential guitarist of the post-punk genre.
Sadly Kevin Walker passed away today, with 64 years way to young to go... RIP "Geordie" Thank you for the music you left with us..
RIP Geordie, he was an icon on the guitar to me
R.I.P. Geordie
Rest easy Geordie, thank you for creating such an influential sound.
R.I.P Geordie. R.I.P.. Raven.
some say geordie was underrated guitarist! for me he was man with great style and that sound when you hear that sound you know who was playing rest in peace great talent! geordia walker .
RIP Geordie Walker. May you be shredding the guitar in heaven.
RIP Geordie......😞
This is song, this band changed my life as a 14 year old kid seeing this track on the Tv. Rest in Peace Geordie.
80s are incomparable, matchless.
R.I.P. Geordie Walker
The drummer rocks man. I like his moves and style. Sooo new wave. And that guitarist Geordie, what a sound.
What about the bass player? I think it's the bass that characterises Killing Joke. Youth is a world renowned bass player
I believe Geordie's secret to his 'wall of sound' is he records multiple tracks
@@CK-tx2lf It's Paul Raven playing here.
yes l like that
@@fastbike6764 No problem in recording this in one take using di and several amps, but probably multiple takes to make it sound a bit thicker
One of the great alt-rock basslines. RIP Paul Raven, we salute you, you crazy bastard.

tostare...👍🤭
Thought Martin Glover aka Youth was the bassist.
steph2k1uk Youth left before this time. This is Paul Raven’s period in the band (though IIRC Youth did return much later)
One day, I had the choice between buying a new Killing Joke album, or affording lunch. That day, I was hungry but my ears were satisfied.
I have kept one demo 21,5 years. I remember one soloartist with originell voice.
This still gives me chills to this day, such a excellent track
Glory to the workers party solidarity for all workers ✊⚒️
R. I. P. Geordie. ❤🌹
Jazz Coleman the most underrated vocalist, songwriter ever!❤🎉
I had the good fortune to see KJ live at Glasgow Tiffanys back in 1982, as a wee plukey -faced 16y.o. punk rocker! Although not the most mobile frontman ever to have graced a Stage, Jaz did have a very commanding Stage presence, and voice that certainly delivered the message and held the attention,in a termedously terrifying way, Less was very definitely more, just a lick of war-paint/make-up and some silent screams,amidst his powerful vocals ,accompanied by sporadic yet timely hand gestures, his raised clenched fist for example, did the job. Then again, i guess he didnt have to move around the stage much in any case, as the sheer energy and blissful aural assault generated by the Band's terrific music , also delivered /done the job, and some.
R.I.P. Geordie Walker your guitar will be missed by many... :(
Rest in peace Geordie 🙏
R.I.P Kevin Geordie Walker 😢
What a badass song. I never get tired of listening to this.

Props to the drummer and the bass guitar that give this song the "traveling" vibe.
RIP, Geordie Walker!!
R.I.P great guitar
The bass line riff is hypnotic and seductive!
Almost the same as kzhead.info/sun/jNSkmMNshV-ma6c/bejne.html
Riffs sound a bit like The Holy War by Thin Lizzy

Nobody could duplicate Geordie, most unique sound and this song was one of my favorites, he was a guitar hero.

RIP Geordie. Thanks for giving us this masterpiece. Sleep well, champ.
R.I.P. Geordie….this will live forever🖤
It doesn't get much better than this. It's one of the best crafted songs of all time and one of the best audio experiences of the 80's. I thank the Universe for me being born in 1961. When Killing Joke played at The Glider Room, Dee Why Hotel in the mid- 80's the sound engineer had everything tirned up to eleven, probably louder. The Bass was causing much discomfort to the people in the packed room. Big tough, tattooed guys were leaving the venue because the excruciating volume was intolerable. My existence was like a Clash song " Should I Stay or Should I go. I stayed, because I didn't want to miss my only chance to see this band LIVE. Looking around the room to see the crowd singing along with passion to EIGHTIES, was worth the price of admission. Great band!!!!!
Yep. It was great being in the NY metro area at the time. Cool clubs such as Kriptons and Backstage but good systems were hit and miss with other clubs.
As Lemmy famously said: "If its too loud, you're too old!". Roughly same age as you, grew up with this band in the UK, Thatchers Britain and all that, Killing Joke distilled and encapsulated the feeling of the time. Hear this, or "Eighties" and I'm transported back instantly. What a tune. What a band. What days to be alive.
Way to go brother
Lucky you. I have to make do with the video's. KJ was so underrated. Timeless.
Well we know this was a masterpiece when I herd it at the time ...give you goose bumps ...well the whole Brighter than a 1000s suns album including the cover. I was a teen and never heard of them and was just getting in post punk /punk. But the big airy (space), hollow sound was not originally theirs....they got that from The Chameleons. But the big sound with the muscular guitar riff became their finger print.
I came to pay my respects to a truly outstanding guitarist who has influenced so many. RIP Geordie
RIP Geordie 😞
Rest in peace Geordie
Geordie was a great guitar player. R. I. P legend😢🥺😔😔😔😔😔
One of THE defining tracks of the 80s which still sounds amazing in 2023 🙌🏻
RIP Geordie Walker. You will not be forgotten.
Rip Geordie😢
Lyrics: We must play our lives like soldiers in the field The life is short I'm running faster all the time Strength and beauty destined to decay So cut the rose in full bloom 'Til the fearless come and the act is done A love like blood A love like blood 'Til the fearless come and the act is done A love like blood A love like blood Everyday through all frustration and despair Love and hate fight with burning hearts 'Til legends live and man is god again And self-preservation rules the day no more We must dream of promised lands and fields That's never fade in season As we move towards no end We learn to die Red tears are shed on gray 'Til the fearless come and the act is done 'Til the fearless come and the act is done
Ty all
That opening riff shivers down my spine… RIP Geordie Walker x
RIP TO AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND. VERY SAD.ONE OF THE COOLEST GUITAR PLAYERS EVER.THANKS FOR THE GREAT MUSIC GEORDIE.

R.I.P. Geordie, you'll be missed!
RIP Geordie 😢
Geordie Walker guitar tones are so thick and at the same time so ethereal... One of the best guitarists of Rock history but so underrated.
That haunting intro..never gets old after 30 yrs.
+k3zza_ m4chin3_ Indeed, just thought the same thing
so this is early 80s?? really? you sure it's not earl;y 90s?
1985 was the year of release.
1985 , just middle 80's
1985...
Rest in Peace,brother.
Rest in peace Geordie, one of the best guitarists of his generation
The bass line absolutely makes this song. RIP Paul Raven.
what a bass line that was
It’s 2024 and I’m listening to this song for the first time in years, forgot what a brilliant tune it is!👍😁
Geordies guitar playing still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck😊
Rest In Peace Geordie, thank you so much for your music, we will miss you. Thank you Killing Joke for all the music you give us... 😢🌿🙏
I don't care what you say, that drummer knows the score.
Killing Jokes drummer is the f'n man!!!
Am I the only one to notice how some of the greater drummers use the simplest of drum kits?
Indeed. He's aware that only a thorough go will bring home the goods.
@@juancanet3883 I agree. Jimmy Chamberlain usually used a five piece set, to amazement.
Damn straight!🤘
