Name: Eka Suma address: ha94sumae@wombat.admin.bhtafe.edu.au Artist: Killing Joke Track: Eighties Album: Night Time (1985) Guitarist: Geordie Walker ### K I L L I N G J O K E --- E I G H T I E S ### This is a played-by-ear transcription of arguably Killing Joke's most popular mainstream song, which also highlights Geordie's extensive use of the open strings for 'stereo guitar' effects. Thanks to my very forgiving turntable, I have managed to pick up most of the notes after relentless diggings into the vinyl. (I played this song to death for almost ten years, and it finally took the 'net to help me get it out of my system!)
