[kj] KJ Geordie - Stage presence

[GREG SLAWSON]

I saw the Joke on the Pandemonium tour (the best of the 5 times I saw them) and Yoof was jumpin all over the place wearing a kilt
and some sort of viking hat w/horns or antlers. Much more fun to watch than his current mode, where he looks bored to death...

Actually, Youth is very different on stage now, than he was back in 78...then, he came over like a begrudged hospital orderly...who looked like Sid Vicious.

I was referring to Geordie, not Youth.
Youth is like an excitable kid.

First time I saw KJ was 1983, i.e. after Raven had arrived.  It was over a decade until I saw Youth on stage with Jaz (sadly by then minus Big Paul) and I thought he provided the perfect foil for Jaz.  Made me realise how much they lost when he left in '82.
 
Then a few years ago I saw Transmission, featuring Big Paul and Youth - first time I'd seen the original KJ rhythm section together, and it was awesome.  Again it made me wish I'd seen the original line-up.
 
Personally, I rate Youth.  I think he's plugged into Killing Joke's rhythm...

I still say he looks like he's waiting for a bus...nice sounds though :)

That's a good quote. One for the archive.

(Back to Youth for a moment. I think Youth looks quite cool, personally. White suit, visor, and an aura of control. I think he secretly runs the show, pulling Coleman's strings.)

Someone brought this up post-gig in Bristol and Geordie said something like "There's no need to jump around. Can you imagine how Angus Young feels now when a tour is booked "Ah fuck!!!"". Cue much laughter.

I thought this sums it up nicely from the write up Daniel just posted: 


"while Geordie, patrolling off to the left, calmly stroked out some of the biggest noises in the history of rock guitar, some savagly riffy, others grinding, moronic, lethal."
