Tributes have been pouring in from across rock and metal for the late Killing Joke guitarist Kevin ‘Geordie’ Walker, who died on Sunday 26 November, aged 64.
Walker was one of the most influential guitar players of his generation. If players were not trying to crib his electric guitar tone wholesale they were taking notes on riff-writing, seeing what works. On occasion, they’d do both, just as Nirvana did with Come As You Are, the grunge anthem all but echoing the seminal Killing Joke track, Eighties.
