Killing Joke were one of the few bands that could perfectly walk the line between Goth and Industrial, and a lot of that ability had to do with Geordie Walker's prowess as a guitar player. He was always sorely underrated as a guitarist, especially considering how many iconic riffs were his doing. Of course, one of those iconic riffs was the opening riff for "Eighties" that Kurt Cobain...err..."gently lifted" for Nirvana's "Come as you Are".

Geordie's passing is making me think about how there are a lot of great musicians in this world who came and went without much fanfare while they were alive, but their influence can be heard in so many musicians who came after them. No magazine covers, no Rockstar fan worship, just solid musicianship that helped to define a music genre as we know it to exist. May Geordie's soul rest in peace and his legacy continue to live on with those who appreciated him.

Geordie Walker, 1958-2023

Geordie Walker played guitar, most memorably for Killing Joke throughout that band’s long and productive career; with Jaz Coleman, Walker was Killing Joke’s only permanent member. He died yesterday. For some listeners, nothing quite compares with the thrill of hearing that opening minute of “The Wait,” which transformed some of those same listeners’ ears in the early 1980s. Other players (Steve Albini, Justin Broadrick) may be hipper to talk about, but Walker’s icy, industrial tone and his ear for the riff that was simultaneously danceable and dirgey have proven hugely influential.

Put on that self-titled Killing Joke album today (I did, it still sounds great) and you’ll hear so, so much of the 1980s underground: Big Black, Head of David, Ministry, Helmet. It’s all in there, most of it in Walker’s guitar.

Yesterday the world got a few decibels quieter and emptier. RIP Geordie Walker, 1958-2023.

Honour the big man by quote-re-tumbling this post (I haven't been on here in ages and can't remember the technical terms) with your favourite Geordie riffs!
