Saw them play at City Gardens, NJ in the early '90s. Intense and exciting. Will never forget the energy in that room. Rest In Peace.

The Killing Joke documentary The Death and Resurrection Show is on Tubi watching now, pretty good so far, one shocker: amongst the talking heads being interviewed, one Mr. Jimmy Page speaking effusively about seeing them early on!

Yeah he was quoted in various obits about how much he loved Geordie's sound.

Further into the doc, it's pretty clear that Page and Jaz connected via a mutual interest in the occult, majick, Crowley, etc etc which makes sense, I guess I just was surprised that Page was engaged with anything punk or punk adjacent.

Page & Plant were famous for liking punk. They used to go see The Damned among others.
