Oh holy shit! It seems Killing Joke is finished now. I saw them at Tuska 2011 and Jaz Coleman's live show was somewhat theathric. But dang it!

That's awful news :( fantastic unique musician

His guitar playing was more textural, using dissonance. And no guitar solos, unlike many of his contemporaries.

Dang. For the last two days I've been trying to work some Killing Joke into a playlist to be heard by classic-rock dudes at their work. It's been an enjoyable struggle because everyone should have some Killing Joke in their lives. Rest in Peace, Mr. Walker. You will be missed.

What a terrible loss. I love KJ and Geordie is a huge part of the reason why. RIP.
