[kj] The Future Of Killing Joke

[wessidetempest .]

I cannot imagine a band continuing under the name of Killing Joke.
I am curious if there will be something beyond a close family service. I say that as it seems that Ravens passing, kind of, caught everyone off guard. So I imagine that their mortality and how they desire it to be handled has been discussed since that moment.
I’m gutted. Deeply bummed. But not surprised. I think I’m jaded and calloused because of other events in my life currently.
I don’t believe in idol worship. But he was one of the few that I was star struck with and considered a “guitar god”.
I just hope his moments and days up until the final act were enjoyable.
I will miss that you do not exist physically.

I would imagine it's the very furthest thing from their mind, at the moment. They've lost a friend and a brother and the thought of continuing without him is probably unfathomably surreal and quite painful. I wouldn't imagine there will be discussions about it for some time.

I realize it may be a little too soon to tell, but what does this mean for Killing Joke?  Will Jaz seek a replacement?  While no one can replace Geordie Walker, who? would be an apt replacement?  Youth is a very good guitarist,  I was impressed with his collaboration with Jah Wobble.  It would be cool to bring in Peter Hook to cover bass duties.  Killing Joke should continue.  Their music is too important not too.
