When Jimmy page says Geordie was one of a kind that will do me.
He said that?
@@joedecker3900 he certainly did, i think there's a clip with Jimmy paige in the documentary " The death & resurrection show"
RIP Geordie, you will be missed immensely.
At 62 years of age I can categorically state that Kevin ' Geordie ' Walker was the Greatest and most influential guitarist that I have ever heard or seen. I had the pleasure and joy of seeing K.J play live on many occasions never more so than a Sunday night in October of 2003 when they performed at Leeds Metropolitan University - Cracking Form - probably the best live gig that I have ever attended.
There are no words to express the devastation and loss that thousands of fans must be feeling.
Heartfelt condolences and sympathy to Geordies Friends, Family and of course Fellow Band Members.
R.I.P ' Big Man '.❤❤❤
Absolutely brokenhearted......R.I.P. Mr. Kevin "Geordie" Walker
Such sad news ,he had his own unique guitar sound and will be sadly missed. I was fortunate enough to watch them live in the early 80s and was blown away ! RIP 😔
May God Rest His Soul - far too young. Hope Jaz, Paul and Youth can write another brilliant song for Geordie like they did for Raven
A friend broke the sad news to me yesterday. I have been lucky enough to see Geordie performing with the band on a number of occasions & I can only echo what other people are saying about how important & influential he was to music from the late 70's onwards. When I was having guitar lessons at the age of 17, I asked my old hippy guitar teacher if we could work on 'Empire Song' which was out at the time. He said he couldn't as it wasn't "proper music & chords", as he put it. He was a veteran guitar player from the 60's & what he said was unintentionally, actually a great compliment to Geordie, because no matter how good the guitarist was, nobody could replicate the sound he got out of those guitars. Legend. R.I.P.
"REQUIEM" for Geordie...❣️
Drummer playing like he’s late for something…lol
R.I.P Geordie. 😢 Love the dig he does at Nirvana right at the end…lol
Ho 62 anni ho visto 2 volte i Killing Joke e li ho conosciuti oltre che essere grandi musicisti sono anche grandi persone. Adesso Kevin Geordie 😢 🎸🌹 se n'è andato e mi manca già
I remember seeing Killing Joke back in 94', at a little bar east Toledo. Great show.
So so so glad I catched them live, R.I.P Geordie!!
Thinking about you Geordie. Thank you for the music
A great performance. A nice memory of Geordie.
Classic tune!!! RIP!
Rest In Power, 🙏 King.
So gutted about this news. To say he was unique doesn't even cover half of it. R.I.P. Geordie
2:43 🙏
The world was special when he was in it. Thanks for the many years of inspired music.
One of the most lasting legacies that Geordie will leave behind, is that you can make a uniquely incredible sound from something like that "bee-bop" guitar. Like seeing a fairly innocent looking small vintage car & when it starts up, it sounds like a savage dragster.
Sad that really, Killing Joke could just about continue without Raven, but there's absolutely no way the band could go on without Geordie 😢 💔
he invented so much. was a fan since the very begining. Requiem, what a kick! i am a mess. thought he was immortal. Actually, he is. good bye wizard!
RIP Geordie 🙏🏻 ❤️ 🤘🏻
just finding out about Geordies passing now, and can not believe it.
as a huge KJ fan from 82 on, nobody played guitar like Geordie, and I'm so glad I got to see KJ both right after Outside The Gate and during Extremities, that record has some huge Geordie sounds !!
but this is truly sad.
I'm 59, so our ages were not that far apart.
man, what a huge loss...... RIP GEORDIE xoxo
RIP Geordie🤟
Hasta siempre Master GEORDIE 🤘🏽🎸🤘🏽😔
RIP Geordie
RIP Geordie, bonny lad.
RIP
Sadly missed❤
Rolling Stone Milano live super top Geordie & Band K.J.
It smells like something that started it all
Riff was stolen from the Damned then stolen from KJ by nirvana
Geordie looks like he's just going through the motions ,he looks bored,sad news,top guitarist
IS HE DEAD?
Why all of these strokes, I just don’t understand it? Mine almost killed me in 2022 and there’s been a flood of them since that time with so many people!?? I just hate this.
Well in all fairness Geordie was a boozer and heavy smoker so the odds weer not in his favor.
Most touring bands had to take the shot, common getting strokes now since the "pandemic"
They sound a lot like Nirvana in this song ; ).
Slow down Geordies opening riff and you have Come as you are,
This song is older
Considerably so
@@engnsabuncular
Funny and sadly poignant, nirvenna did a clever steal yes…rip Geordie 🎸✊🏽🙏🏽
Sounds like Life Goes On by The Damned
Yep those jabs really are that bad.
You really think Geordie took the shot? I doubt it and you are not very smart. Crawl back in your hole.
RIP Geordie
