FROM MARTIN ARKINS:

 

 FROM TEMPLE OF VOID:

Real bummer to hear about Geordie’s passing this weekend. Killing Joke was one of those rare bands that just about all of my friends could agree upon loving. He was a tremendous talent.

FROM MIKE PATTON:

Rest in peace Geordie Walker. A truly influential musician. 


FROM REDEFINING DARKNESS RECORDS. 

 

The world has lost a true giant….
The profound effect Geordie’s music has had on my life is nothing short of immense.
Killing Joke: Official are my favorite band of all time and largely due to Geordie’s otherworldly contributions. His legacy will live on forever
Thank you Geordie!

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-R.I.P. \m/
