Wow, this is prime demented genius early Killing Joke. Very few other bands have had as profound effect on me as these guys. Jaz Coleman perfected the corpsepaint look well before any Black Metal band did. Geordie Walker's guitar playing has haunted me for years. It's so tribal and trance inducing. One of the best UK bands EVER.
Jaz looks almost schizophrenic on these Generation 80s performances... quite frightening really! And, yes, they were an INCREDIBLE band, at their best. They're not too bad nowadays either, actually...
I found the band because of Nirvana and I heard that Come As You Are sounds like Eighties, so I looked up Eighties and loved it. Listened to only Eighties for about 5 or 6 months straight and decided to listen to their other songs. Excellent decision, I love all of their songs now. Have been bingeing them for the past week and now I am here. I love Jaz and all the members of the band, all the music videos are entertaining and fun. This is now my favorite band. I am also currently a teenager and hope to make my own music. Definitely will have inspiration from these guys!
Good luck to you, get some like minded mates together and form a band. Write your own songs, try some local gigs. It's the best of times in your teens writing music with your mates
@@TheDaveman75 it must be so hard to be original these days I have a cousin who played drums for a few local bands They started of doing their own material and made a cd However, the local radio station wasn't interested I started to write my own music fanzine on local bands, (1990s), but most bands preferred to play covers It was so boring after a while, as you would recognise the same people in the crowd Best advice : keep plugging away, send your own demos to your home address for copyright Make sure all your members are fully committed to being in a band, play loads of gigs Enjoy 🙏🤞
This guitar riff plays in my head all day at work or on a long hike. Drums are great. So happy I was introduced to this band. Having an open mind reaps rewards.
And influenced them to, Nirvana even stole the guitar rif from 80's (and slowed it down) in Come as You Are..I wonder if Killing Joke got any royalties from that?
+TheYomanda Killing joke actually sued but Kurt committed suicide before the trial got far. Killing joke then decided it wouldn't be appropriate to continue with the case. I think members have collaborated with Dave Grohl since then too.
@TheJaidee23 i couldn't agree with you more. killing joke are relentless, uncompromising, and genuine. i can't think of any other band that conveys a feeling of brutal, raw emotion better than killing joke.
Since their debute on Dutch soil (Parkpop 1982) I was and still am a great fan. Actually can remember seeing this TV show on RTBF, Generation 83. It widened the generation gap with my mother. Sorry mum;-)
@SCROGY what is an example of a horrible screaming death? is it like being crushed by a big slab of concrete? or is it the instance right before being crushed, when you know you are going to be crushed, and you then scream.
youth is one under rated bass player. he plays like the bloke from chic. he could have played carly simons why in a stylee. if you dont get get what im sayin yah cyan play bass
Presumably Geordie was using the same guitar he's used throughout jis career, and does to this day? First thing I noticed on this vid that he has what looks like a Fender (probably just to attract this kind of comment)!

I wouldn't call their later stuff nu metal. Though they certainly inspired the genre. Revelations sounds like Korn and all those bands, 10+ years ahead of the time.

I love his expressions, the way his face is absolutely dripping with sarcasm when he says "I wonder who chose the color scheme."
Its very niiiiiice

Nicely said. I might add one of the best bands ever globally (and still Killing it)
Even hidden behind his keyboard Jaz has demented charisma. This made me smile. Thanks.
I just clicked on this cause I love the song "Love Like Blood" and this is awesome. New favorite song.
That guitar sound. Sends shivers down my spine.
Far ahead of it's time
i love how jaz's playing consists of pressing on one key the whole song
greatest band ever!

They’re even better.👍

GEordie, W/ STRAT...UNspeakABle.
Epic, remember when I got this album, just epic.
This guitar riff plays in my head all day at work or on a long hike. Drums are great. So happy I was introduced to this band. Having an open mind reaps rewards.
One of the best they ever released.
Ministry, NIN, Big Black-Shellac, Metallica, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, etc, etc, etc, admitted to be Killing Joke' fans. Greats!
+Manel Navarro good to know, however, it's important to mention that these bands could not shine the shoes of Killing Joke ....
+Lionel Richards Definitly not. Joke Rules .
And influenced them to, Nirvana even stole the guitar rif from 80's (and slowed it down) in Come as You Are..I wonder if Killing Joke got any royalties from that?

Eh, but Killing Joke swiped it from The Damned.
always been my fave KJ track....played it to fuckinn death tho...
A work of art
Genius, man!!!
Masters at their Craft
I love Jaz so much
Thank you so much for this!!!!!!
@TheJaidee23 i couldn't agree with you more. killing joke are relentless, uncompromising, and genuine. i can't think of any other band that conveys a feeling of brutal, raw emotion better than killing joke.
RIP Kevin Geordie Walker...
YEAHYEAHYEAH!!! GEORDIE BLOODY ROCKS!!
I like the addition of the synths.
Awesome video!!
Awesome!!! OMG!
SUPERBE ! MERCI !
And I glad I checked to see if this came back up!
Masters 👍

exclusively Killing Joke ...
Excellent..
thanks for posting this toulouse appreciate your thoughts as well
Même si ce morceau n'est pas mon préféré,cette video est super : ils sont superbes physiquement...
scary man on keyboards, he he he
YES! The good quality version of this is back up. WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!
jaz is mad! (luv this)
+david moon JC was is will be :)
Is he mad or did he just open his eyes to reality?
Great! Never seen this before. What was the next track you see a little flash of at the end?
jaz is tapped!
the blueprint of what a frontman needs to be. send the rest away.
@SCROGY what is an example of a horrible screaming death? is it like being crushed by a big slab of concrete? or is it the instance right before being crushed, when you know you are going to be crushed, and you then scream.
Heavy
Forget that; just found "Exit".
youth is one under rated bass player. he plays like the bloke from chic. he could have played carly simons why in a stylee. if you dont get get what im sayin yah cyan play bass
OML
Did Jaz used to be a Car Mechanic !
A sad day...I've just heard, Geordie has gone...26th November 2023
Шедевр и на этом мэри кристмас точка)))
Gotta love the OG lineup with Youth on bass. What TV program is this? Is it French or ? I don’t recognize it.
The bassist is raven.
Youth original bassist and founding member, Raven bassist after Youth left band@@christopherwest4580
strange seeing Geordie with a strat. great song though.
ha was just thinking that
Any one know what guitar geordie is using here??
Fender Stratocaster
@@mikesilva5085 That would only be for the vid - the sound is rooted the same as he's always played a Gibson
Cannot fault this rendition of a Joke classic but Jaz, you could have had the decency to scrub up first!
Geordie Walker recorded this on a Gibson.
Youth recorded this using his fretless Fender precision bass.
Just for you music enthusiasts 🤘
Presumably Geordie was using the same guitar he's used throughout jis career, and does to this day?
First thing I noticed on this vid that he has what looks like a Fender (probably just to attract this kind of comment)!
The guitar in the video looks like a fender,having said that he usually uses a 1951 Gibson,can’t remember the model number though.
@bluestate69 The later.
blinding noise
When KJ were good. Not liking that nu metal stuff they're doing now. Maybe I'm just old.
I agree. I don't dislike their newer stuff, but I do believe they've gotten a little lazier in their writing process and are not as creative as they once were.
i like the middle stuff . They dress properly then ua-cam.com/video/SV1f9CZWsxc/v-deo.htmlm14s

I agree, but I am in my 50s
I only like the music 81/86

£3/£4 a ticket
