[kj] KJ Geordie - Stage presence

[folk devil]

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."
