"Another Killing Joke re-formation came in 2003, with a self-titled album featuring longtime fan Dave Grohl on drums; similarities have long been noted between the riffs on Killing Joke’s Eighties and Nirvana’s Come As You Are."
Killing Joke - Eighties
(2007 Digital Remaster)
From the Guardian obit:
"The band wrote in a statement on Sunday: 'It is with extreme sadness we confirm that at 6.30am on 26th November 2023 in Prague, Killing Joke’s legendary guitarist Kevin ‘Geordie’ Walker passed away after suffering a stroke, he was surrounded by family. We are devastated. Rest In Peace brother.'"
Killing Joke - Love Like Blood (Official Video)
Just learned that Kevin "Geordie" Walker, the guitarist for Killing Joke, passed away on Sunday (11.26.2023). He was 64.
This one hits hard. KJ is one of my favorite bands of all time and Geordie's guitar playing was ground-breaking, either verging on noise and abrasiveness or massive shards of beauty and light and was a huge influence on my own guitar playing and songwriting.
I'll be playing KJ all day.

Interesting early Led Zepplin appearance on Danish TV in 1969 has Jimmy Page playing a Telecaster. (He bows it too)
Kinda think it sounds better than the trademark Les Paul sound. Leaner and dirtier.

And I never ran
And I never lied
And I never cried
And you can't deny

RIP Tony Bennett.
I've only heard a couple of minutes (it sounded good!!) of this, but have had a tab open to this for like 4 months now and so, I'm gifting it to you CoSo, knowing some of you will really super-really dig this:

Leonard Cohen - Jazz Police
Let me be somebody I admire
Let me be that muscle down the street
Stick another turtle on the fire
Guys like me are mad for turtle meat
Jazz police I hear you calling
Jazz police I feel so blue
Jazz police I think I'm falling
I'm falling for you
Jazz police are looking through my folders
Jazz police have got their fire orders
Jazz police are looking through my folders
Jazz police have got their fire orders
