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.
RIP Geordie, you were responsible for the soundscape of my teenage. A guitar sound second to none.
The most amazing and beautiful guitar tone in the history of Rock'n'roll.
RIP Geordie Walker...
@@DataLal What?!?!
RIP Georgie
unique sound, indeed. a "good one" is gone......
Absolute perfection in every note ... RIP Geordie

Still sounds majestic, deep, mesmerizing, hypnotic, transcendental and timeless in 2022. Fast forward 4 years and it's still pure poetry!
You mean 40 years... 😁

@@Joeskee68 So true! 😆 Can you believe that I was never notified of your comment? Old YT being a jerk! 🤪
Never known a singer who could sound like an angel but also a demon
Damien Hurts Jaz was a talented Chorister as a kid. Family friend of decades.
Think you mean looks like a demon..
A double headed 'monster'.
A demon and a angel. He's so talented. Love his voice.
Ian Curtis? The guy from Shriekback. Liz Frazier. Siouxie. Bjork..
"BRIGHTER THAN A THOUSAND SUNS" IS FOR ME, THE BEST "KILLING JOKE" ALBUM.
one can argue about "better" or "worse", but it had to be admitted that it is definitely the most mature KJ's record
Hands down their most polished and sophisticated album.
Have to agree - some artists can manage to put out an album that I would say every track could have and should have been released as a single. Brighter Than A Thousand Suns is one of those albums.
Surely one of their strongest ones, matured well. This album is awesome. Can't understand the critics here.
Extremely underrated, doesn't deserve the hate it gets.
Everything's perfect in this song, vocals, riff, bass, keys and arrangements
....A MASTERPIECE
I have the vinyl and the whole album is a masterpiece
B. Muzic. Steeped in englishness.
@@silversurfer8212 -perfection 👍
and the lyrics
Never understood the hate fot Brighter Than A Thousand Suns. It's got some decidedly 80s production, but to me it's basically Love Like Blood: The Album, and that's not a bad thing. They took the direction of one of their most acclaimed and popular songs and explored it to the fullest.
Anyone who enjoyed Night Time should realistically be able to enjoy BTATS
BTAS is the more lush bleaker version of Night time. night time left you with a bit of hope. BTAS defiitely doesnt.
For me it's their best album alongside "Extremities..."
@@stacybigfoot4801 100% agree with you there.
It's one of my favourite ever albums. A different step for the band but you're right, really continuing the emotional but stoic rock vein of Love Like Blood. Sadly it got a raw deal on release because of the label remixing it without the band for a more commercial sound. It made it sound confused and false. Had the original mixes been released (like we have now) it may not have got such a bad response.
It has some overlong tracks and is a lot more lyrical than riff based like previous Joke albums, but at its best it's amazing. Definitely worth a fresh listen!
Best album imo.
Rest in Peace, Geordie. The band won't be the same without you.
30 years later... and tears still run down my face when I hear this song.
Ohh... I feel the same. This song is magic...
Mir geht's genauso... Gruß Wolle
Likewise!
My heart still cries after so many time listening to this song
Can I ask you why ?
Killing Joke...so melancholic and melodic. So in love with Raven and Geordie, Coleman and Ferguson are the icing on the doom laden cake that is so lovely.
Oh you're here! I loved your uploads, stay safe man
Cheerz from Bulgaria to everyone who is listening to this masterpiece in 2024!
This song is absolutely fucking awesome. I was 16 when it was released and I still never get tired of listening to it.
Me too - same age when released. Still sounds great
Because it’s based on Bach…
Still sounds majestic, deep, mesmerizing, hypnotic, transcendental and timeless in 2018.

Even in 2020
Even in 2021 ... my all time favourite song .
Even in 2021 ...with the covid pa demonium...
The guitar effects of post-punk its beautiful with the keyboards
Anderson Douglas. Far superior to anything from the punk era.
There's something special when you get that punk/synth sound combined. Fantastic sound as you chill out, an early version of Trance music maybe? A Flock of Seagulls are another example of post-punk synth mix and check out Goodbye Mr McKenzie. I love punk to this day but also love synth. Killing Joke, the older I get the better they sound.
Geordie has a really good guitar tone setup in his rig. Very simple but powerful.
@@regnig99 the guitar/synths sound like pain and joy and sorrow mingled
Geordie, here, had a leg up on so many guitarists in the post punk world. He'd crank the distortion with all the effects too. No one like him.
Brighter Than A Thousand Suns is the most underrated album ever
No other band looked this cool. Ever.
Agreed
0:44 Geordie eyeing up the camera. No idea that his hair would soon become a myth.
Raven and Geordie Smiling. That alone is worth the watch.
He looks like a Goth Prince!
TheAceSpaceman 😂 Brilliant. Man, 2016 was a ROUGH year for Music with the losses of both Prince and Bowie...
Or syd barrett
Or herman Munster
Geordie, Geordie, Geordie. Such a beautiful sound. Totally his own. He doesn’t move like other guitarists. He has this smooth , graceful slinky movement.
And as if that wasn’t enough, the face of an angel.
he will be missed forever
@@filmswall8543 shit!! I didn’t know until I read your comment!! I was fortunate to spend more than an hour talking with him on a rooftop of a Melbourne nightclub a few years ago. My arsehole boyfriend was off doing coke and shmoozing and ignoring me so Geordie sat with me and was a total charming gentleman. Brilliant guitarist of course. So sad but he did love his ciggies and booze. 😕
E verdade❤
As I approach my 55th year, this song takes on a new and deeper meaning. Every year around my birthday, I get a Killing Joke song stuck in my head. I listen to it on repeat, and my life and the universe make more sense to me. God speaks to us through whatever means we take the message, and I'm just ever-so grateful for The Killing Joke and music that really means something.
When i was littleIi wanted to be Geordie Walker....now 'im old I still want to be Geordie Walker. The coolest man in the world.
Arminius
Can't say enough about Geordie! I love his guitar style and he is also a handsome fucker....
Arguable the most unique guitarist of modern music. A mix of Gilmour, Iommi, Orzabal. But cooler.
Sexy as hell, and so very talented so I love with Geordie❤️❤️❤️
Clint Eastwood with a guitar
@@tobymcgroby8967 In fact he resembles the guy in Blade Runner, Rutger Hauer. No! He is Hauer's twin brother!
Beautiful, poignant, tragic... _and_ Jaz looks fantastic in this video. I've always felt that "Brighter than a Thousand Suns" (and "Outside the Gate") were far more personal than the other LPs, with Jaz opening up and showing a far more joyous, yet vulnerable, side to his ideas on and perceptions of life.
These men explored the reaches of despair and dark beauty, and could express them both with the same imagery. The guitar part transcends music, it is the score of my hopeful sorrow.
geordie will be forever one of the best guitar players to ever live on this earth
Been playing 'Adorations' in my car for 30 years..and here I am watching it on UA-cam..when will it end?..
Same here mate. Takes me right back to 1986. I had it on cassette single to play in the car before getting the album on cd a few years later. I had high hopes of it making the top 30 but it stalled at No.42. The B-side 'Ecstasy' was a great track too.
Never!!!! :)
Clare Lonsdale Never ever..
@coralraider: what car did you have 30 years ago when you had this blaring out? I had a silver 1981 Cortina 2.0 Ghia, not bad for someone who was only 20 at the time. No speed cameras, no smart motorways, just real FREEDOM! God, I miss those days!
I had a yellow Cortina 2.0 GLS with fold back canvas sun-roof, 1980 W reg. I thought it was the dog's bollocks!
I bloody love this band and this is a highly underrated album.
Yeah I know right . oh my gosh .. I love this band so freaking much!
Loved KJ since the early 80's. They took so much criticism for this "sellout" album back then, Guess what ?
It sounds fresh today. Well ahead of its time.
It really is and it’s so damn good. Unfortunately I can’t get into any of there albums after the year 1990. I miss there original sound and he’s voice that can be soft/haunting and then goes to aggressive a bit. But now it’s just overly aggressive and can’t understand a word he says now.
Those first eight albums are the best to me.
October 2018. Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Killing Joke and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily. And love, admiration and adoration.
As someone from the UK the thing I'm most proud of from this country in the last 50 or so years is just the sheer amount of amazing music that came out of this little grubby sometimes beautiful island.
I think the same way. I was just actually contemplating this while watching the video and about how in my mind's eye I picture England as a vast place but in reality it's a tiny friggin island. This has almost entirely to do with their cultural output. It is insanely oversized. I mean, I'm from the state of Indiana in America which is only about half the size of the UK by itself. And we're not even a particularly large state of the Union! What do we have to show for ourselves? The Indy 500 and some corn. That's about it. I love Indiana, don't get me wrong but the UK definitely punches well above their weight. British people have a right to be proud of themselves.
@@talkingmudcrab718 were English not British "".. All bands mainly come from England...
Their English not British.... Everything comes from England.. Not Britain..
@@terryyepblaize6267 lol
Been a lover of this song since 1986. Still love this brilliant song. Sounds like you're running through the forest on a cold cloudy day.
Yes!! overcast, gloomy, possibly a bit foggy...mysterious.
Even living in a tropical country (Brasil) I feel the same...
I liked this when it came on the radio in 1986. First time I've heard it since.
Sounds like my life
Still can’t get over how good this album is
This band had a great sound
+ZilchNilton still does, mate
Listen to Pylon album, and you'll see that Killing Joke will be always Killing Joke
Rip Geordie . You and Paul Raven can play this once again .
Oh man that chorus, ......patterns I’m finding,as pain and joy and sorrow mingle.......
Good song. Here is the lyrics:
Courage and Cowards move, heroes to ecstasy
Welcomes of war and wounds, vigil and victory
Structures of atoms dance, sugar towards the taster,
Prey to the predator, love as we're falling down
Through light and laughter flow, to dirge and death we go,
Mindless processions move, lanterns of burning towns,
Welcome to fray and feast, bliss in all sorrows found,
Rhythms and random moves and waves of adorations.
Patterns I'm finding
As pain and joy and sorrow mingle.
Patterns we're finding
Our faces raised in adorations.
Deserts are paradise, awake to genocides.
Delight and suffering, these roles that we have found
Nourished by food we eat, hungered by waste excrete
From apes or sons of god, let every act be sacred.
Patterns I'm finding
As pain and joy and sorrow mingle.
Patterns we're finding
Our faces raised in adorations.
***** You're welcome!
+Daria Loshadkina Such a strange song, beautiful really. Thanks :)
What great lyrics
YEAH LOVE THIS SONG
For some reason the sound just sticks in my head. Very unique.
The best rockband of the 80´s
Joy Division, too
Johan Forsman Probably the most important and influential rock/post Punk/industrial metal band ever
@Super Nova totally agreed with you.
@Super Nova
And Soundgarden, Korn and Marylin Manson.
@@sugarfree7298
They started before around
At the end of the years seventies. But it's true Joy Division is a great band.
These dudes were so far ahead of their Time, I don't think Time ever caught up. The FINEST!
Our faces raised in adorations😥 R.I.P Geordie
This is an autumn song. I remember I was the doorman at my sister's bands audition for a new bassist and I had headphones on and this on a Sony Walkman, the little cumulus nimbus skidding down across NW London, chap called skype or something turned up, was brilliant, tried to poach him for my own useless band which was never going to work, my sister's [boss] band rejected him. He went on to better things I hope.
I can never play this bad boy loud enough to make my ears bleed it is an awesome tune, Geordie is an amazing guitarist, it puts an edge on every song.....RIP The Raven...
earplugs in ...to the max
I'm still alive and I'm white now
lol
Fucking stupid
god bless Raven,a cool guy,gone too soon,left with memories.
51 years old,,and this song still blows me away,Geordie,great guitar sound.
Left the stage but never forgotten.
my favourite post-punk album in existence and i really like post-punk lol. one of them albums you can listen to 100 times and it just keeps getting better.
Me too! This is one of my favourite KJ albums, I don't get the hate towards this masterpiece
I've listened to this song about 20 times in a row.....
+TheRaven i've been listening to this song and Love like Blood for the last 5 days... 30 times a day...
+TheRaven suprising your still alive to tell us .........
+TheRaven It is fascinating.
We'll miss the unique sound of your guitar Geordie... RIP. Legend
Still playing this 30 years on as others have already said. i still think it's an astonishing record.
One of my favorite songs of all times.
This album helped me through some dark times, and this song is so uplifting. Honour the fire!
Poetic and profound lyrics, beautiful music - oh, plus Jaz looks bloody great in this video!
One of the most underrated bands of the 80s!
Of all time I'd say...
Shhh...there's no actual rating system.
Perfect song. Brilliant voice. Great lyrics. Totally haunting.
it was released on "Brighter than a thousand suns". Still have LP at my parents house
Sinisa202 actually, i'm about to buy the LP this week. I'm 15, and now also have a pickup to play LP's and singles since christmas
Rip Geordie , rip Big Paul. 💔
Simply a brilliant song! Will always be one of my favorites!! RIP Paul Raven!
I love Jaz`s Syd Barrett look during this era.
I love it when someone says exactly what you're thinking, it's so satisfying
A day in my adolescents I will never forget, a chilly feb night all crammed in my friends crappy little car with this song blaring all I can see now is our smiling youthful faces with not a care in the world. It was amazing. RIP Paul Raven
Killing Joke transcends genre and age. So good. I'll be 42 next month but I didn't listen until a few years ago.
geordie made me pick up that guitar in the corner of my room. what a beast of a player. rest easy to a monarch.
It's their best song. Hands down.
For me they were the most underrated band of the eighties - love this song and video- their faces say it all, love us or hate us this is who we are and this is what we do and we don't give a monkeys.
The older i get the more these songs mean to me. I was a kid in the 80s but i remember seeing these guys on MTV. Wasnt till the early 90s was i old enough to really listen. Now in my early forties this journey is just so bittersweet man..
0:51 My pants they're falling down
oh no you've ruined it...
😂😂😂
@@goofygothalien618 this will cure us all !! lol
"Prey to the predator, love as we're falling down"
there there..
If anyone has had the pleasure of seeing killing joke live,you will know what I mean.masterful is the word.
Coolest looking band, magic song, timeless, so beautiful!
I don't care if Brighter than a Thousand Suns has a reputation of being their "sell-out" pop album. It's still one of my favorites!
This song was my introduction to their music, and this song alone made me buy most of their stuff. So much for "selling out", right? This piece made me a KJ fan, and I also dig their raw stuff.
Completely forgetting about this record is such a shame.
Exactly the same story here:)
Damn!! this song is seriously a fucking masterpiece
Jaz can rock hard and sing with a softer touch. Amazing
I love everything about this song, especially Paul Raven‘s very subtle bass groove.
Still the most innovative and underrated bands ever!!!!
yes and this all started in 1980 !!, and indeed still underrated after 40 years.
I would agree with you but The Chameleons exist!
Killing Joke has some of the hardest post punk sounds AND some of the most beautiful ala Brighter Than a Thousand Suns and this song. So much talent.
My top 5 favourite gothic rock bands
Bauhaus, Killing Joke, Sisters of Mercy, The Mission, and Danse Society.
Thanks for the recommendations!
No Siouxsie and the Banshees?
I love the fields of the nephilim
Danse Society...nice. Been a minute😅
Rip Kevin walker what a player and gone to soon.god bless and what a life and a good man
Jaz is incredible
One of the most enduring albums of the 80's. Still sounds great today and remains very relevant.
Arguably the best rock album ever.
Every one loves adorations…. Or they bloody well should!
i love when Jaz moves his eyes to the distortion sound in the beginning. so awesome
What a sound!
R.I.P Geordie😢
My brother's favorite Killing Joke album,in the 80's he would play this from sunset to nightfall
Jaz is a beautiful and super talented man.
Killing Joke not a Joke deep music for deep minds this is my antidote to the Coronavirus scaremongering stay safe stay clean 🧼 and listen 👂 to Killing Joke ✨✨✨🧠🧠🧠⭐️⭐️⭐️
they actually knew about corona psyop 5 years prior ua-cam.com/video/A4wdbibV3IM/v-deo.html
Right there with yeah👊🏼👍🏼
i’ve just heard a really heavy trashy punky bad ass song by this band SO COOL INDEED, now this exquisite complex melodic awesomeness. damn! so multifaceted and professional full of feeling joke.
@@DerekHundik Even the album cover to Pylon looks like a coronavirus with 5G towers in the background... not that I believe any of that nonsense, but I don't believe in coincidences of that magnitude either
@Ch Pe word
Geordie & the Raven are together again
Guitar work here by Geordie is just legendary
Remember growing up in Abu Dhabi in 86 and going skateboarding with BTAT on walkman.
this song deserves much more views!! what a great song
saw them live in 1996!KJ is amazing in front row shook hands with Jaz!loved their albums you can hear hints of "Brighter"in 2012 album "in Cythera"etc.loved them since requiem 1980!!
One of the most beautiful songs of the 80s.
God bless you Mr Walker, your talent was amazing. Heaven has gained an incredible angel. You will never be forgotten and dearly missed😢
So Syd Barrett DID make music in those days. I knew it ;)
Jaz is not Syd

Haha, Jaz was really going for the Obligatory Hendrix Perm here, very Arnold Lane of him.
Shine On Jaz.
Criminally underrated band.
this was the first KJ song I ever heard… still love it
@Ch Pe KJ sued Nirvana for ripping their song. But when Cobain died they withdrew the suit like gentlemen.
I too had a change of heart about this album about ten years ago. I hated it when it first came out, but as my tastes matured, I came admire the way every Killing Joke album is unique. Brighter Than A Thousand Suns is probably the best new wave album of all time.
Discovered Killing Joke a few years never knew this band ever existed can't believe I wasted so much time on hair metal
i can't get enough of this song 😆
