The most awe inspiring guitarist on the planet Check these full and wonderful demos out.
Awesome sound by a total guitar playing legend.
Geordie Walker R.i.P

[@TobiasC-mg4zk]

Geordie has a sound like nothing else. Often imitated, never duplicated. Haunting, austere, graceful and confrontational all at once. RIP brother! You’re sorely missed.

[@danivr61]

Hai usato tutti aggettivi perfetti per definire il suono che Geordie da alla sua chitarra 🎸🌹❤ Geordie vive

Best guitarist ever! R. I. P. You are missed already.

Nevertheless, there is another playlist containing 10 of the same demos: kzbin.info/aero/PLFD7F4B654D298C44. They were allegedly snatched from Geordie’s former Myspace page and are identical; therefore, in spite of different dating, order as well as 3 additional songs, I would assume they come from the same source. I’ve noted the equivalent numbering beside each song between brackets [i.e. Demo #]. Songs 4 & 6 cut abruptly at the end, don’t know whether they have been edited in retrospect or if the source file was already that way. Notwithstanding, I would wager the latter option: it seems it has been downloaded as a single track encompassing all the songs, as all the other songs fade into the next. Wish there was a better quality version of these. I’ve found myself listening to these demos regularly over the years and I haven’t gotten tired of them! Enjoy the listing 💙

My favorite guitarist. I met Geordie, Jaz, and Martin Atkins on the Killing Joke Extremities Tour when they played in Philadelphia, PA @ The Chestnut Cabaret ('89 or '90). Great guys. These demos could make a great shoegaze album.

[@ES295]

I was at that show and met them too. The impact still lasts.

[@pawebany6382]

Geordie is my most favourite guitar player. His guitar sounds very wavy and heavy at the same time.

[@unixfreak]

He's a one man orchestra. Powerful guitar tone, and nobody else sounds anything like him. Amazing.

No tenes idea lo que lamento no haber podido ir a ese show. Vivo en Chaco. Esa semana hubo paro general de Moyano. No pude ir. Tenía mi ticket desde que salió el recital publicado. Un amigo logró ir y estuvo con Jaz y Geordie. Ahora que murió este genio, el sueño de verlos se acabó.

[@tantrum3922]

Pretty sick, I love this guy, i listen to his demo daily, glad I found this compilation

[@JacobBite]

Transcendental.

[@laragio]

Many of these demos are double tracks or maybe more, but it doesn't detract from the symphonic dissonance of the greatest rhythmic guitar player of all time.

[@TobiasC-mg4zk]

It’s amazing how Geordie can be described as a rhythm guitarist because he never noodles or even tries to copy the typical lead playing style. He’s the opposite of the archetypal wanker guitarist who plays Clapton and EVH licks. He got his guitar to sound symphonic. It’s a testament to his genius that serious players like Jimmy Page respect his body of work despite his almost total lack of “lead” parts.

[@martinjohnston6685]

party like its 1983 , r i p geordie

[@fh8769]

I'm sure most of Killing Jokes songs prob start with Geordie doing demos like these and then presenting them to the band.

I always wanted to know what guitar Geordie used as his main one. Thanks for the information; I've been searching for that explanation for more than 4 DECADES. Thanks young man, blessings upon you and yours. 🤗❤️✌️

[@JohnLloydDavis]

@@raymondwilliams2609 You also have to tune down a whole step so the guitar is in D not E.

[@TobiasC-mg4zk]

Any big hollow body jazz box with a P90 in the bridge position and preferably a trapeze style tail piece will get you in the ballpark. Tune to D-standard. The challenge then is to play loud and with enough saturation without feeding back like a stuck pig! Stereo rig guitar amp setup is another way to get a wide and immense sound that he trademarked.

[@HHG_BREEDINGGROUND1]

Two thumbs way up.

Kevin Geordi Walker is an absolute god! The power house behind the the joy that is Jazz Coleman. Together they are the drive behind one of the most underrated subversive bands of the 20th century, the collection known as Killing Joke! Drink it in people, this is the beginning of the end, and has been since the legend that was released in ‘81. That was Requiem!

[@punkytone]

requiem wasnt released in 1981 . do get your facts correct .. :)

metal? nope. simply brillant post punk actually.

[@TobiasC-mg4zk]

Call it what you like. It’s its own thing. I’m not sure if Georgie was the first axe wielding maniac to use the palm muted chugging technique but many earlier metal players copied his technique. It’s ubiquitous today in thrash metal styles but it wasn’t before KJ.

cannot stop listening to this [and new john cale stuff. very much recommended]. does anybody know if any of these tunes/sketches have names?? in particular the very first one. coulda been a hit me thinks .. nice visuals too. thank you ..

[@marramamberta321]

I prefer 100 times better some of these demos than the actual songs they became. For example The big buzz (I prefer the demo).

[@qu_entin]

Actually, I thought the same especially when it comes to Big Buzz .. but since I listened to the Demo Version I started to love the Pylon Version :)

[@marramamberta321]

@qu_entin i think the "official" diludea a bit this fantastic guitar; the rest of the instrumentation and the voice sends the guitar, in my opinion, too far in the background.

[@infinity-mi365]

Anyone know what the track before "Big Buzz" is? Many Thanks for the upload too.

[@Abruzzo333]

Incredible. Only a few tracks in....did any of these become KJ songs? If not, these are definitely good enough to be used for future releases. I'm hoping they have enough material for at least on more album or even EP.

[@MontyCantsin5]

Jaz has said that there are guitar parts recorded for a possible future release but it will take some time for this to come to fruition.

[@troydelaine8302]

What’s the movie ?

[@martinjohnston6685]

[@heavymetalrybakina]

Why didn't Jaz use some of these tunes in KJ songs? Ego issues most likely.

[@RaBob]

He did. one of these demos became a song on the PYLON album... eventually became Big Buzz

[@SRMoore1178]

Pretty sure one of his demo riffs became Honour the Fire on Absolute Dissent.

A Geordie is a term for people from Newcastle area. They have a very distinctive accent and culture.
