Kevin "Geordie" Walker of Killing Joke, born today in 1958.
From the Guardian:
"With a beautifully multi-layered guitar sound that pointed the way to the shoegaze scene, and which also took in the spiky urgency of punk, the acute melody of pop and the crushing weight of heavy metal, Walker was – alongside frontman Jaz Coleman – the only consistent member of Killing Joke since the band’s formation in 1978. Born in County Durham in 1958 and schooled in Buckinghamshire, where he acquired his “Geordie” nickname, Walker initially responded to an ad Coleman had placed in the music press. “This guy kept calling saying ‘Hi, I’ve never been in a band before, I’ve only ever played in my mum’s bedroom, but I’m the best guitarist ever’,” Coleman later said. “I couldn’t get rid of him … He comes in for a cuppa and spots my fishing rods, so we have a conversation about fishing for six hours. After which he announced that he had nowhere to live so I said he could stay with me. Geordie moved in three weeks before I actually heard him play. When he did it was like a fire from heaven.” "
Some of the bands notably influenced by Geordie and Killing Joke were My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, Soundgarden, Nirvana, and Nine Inch Nails.
Said Kim Thayil of Soundgarden in 1989, "Our music is as much influenced by British bands like Killing Joke and Bauhaus as it is by heavy metal."
Happy Birthday remembrance to Geordie Walker and a special shout out to all you Killing Joke fans.
