KILLING JOKE guitarist Kevin "Geordie" Walker reportedly died earlier today (Sunday, November 26) in Prague, Czech Republic, two days after suffering a massive stroke. He was 64 years old. The news of Walker's passing was confirmed by his close friend Luca Signorelli, who wrote on his Facebook page:...

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!

    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.

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