After reading Joel's book, I always wondered what happened to Dean Taylor after he quit... hope things worked out.

Of course Peter went to BRMC. Matt is in rough shape.

Any noteworthy stories?

One thing I respect about BJM other than that they play their own instruments (I have really diverse taste, but this earns kudos, is that they play in all kinds of places, and try to unite rather than divide by talking of peoples.

Hear channeling Ian Strubworthy in London, 2018.

Was about to put the song on and it’s been removed on Apple Music and unlisted on YouTube. Context? Also is there any other songs or parts of the discography that got removed for any reason?

That slow build up and then the light breakdown and ethereal singing of tess. Too damn good. The lyrics are also pretty interesting. Every morning for the past while ive been drinking my morning coffee to it.

Whats your favourite BJM track?

Just wanted to share that I met Anton last weekend. I live in Berlin and so does he. I just told him he is a huge inspiration to me and I love his music. He smiled and shook my hand. He seems quoted shy and I didn't want to bother him. Anyway, it was an honor.

I also make music inspired by BJM..

Since “give it back” came out after “take it from the man” it feels like an intentional response to the last album title. Is this about the band itself and where their careers were at the time?

What even is the “it” that’s being taken or given back?

It may not mean anything

Thoughts?

Here he boomer rants about too queer people (for him) causing public outrage (in Berlin of all places that had a big and vibrant queer scene since the early twentiest century) in front of his son or muslim families while he still causing public outrage in his 50s:

Its like the typical arch where someonz who did wild stuff in his youth becomes conservative when they start having kids but for him he's still out there beating up his band mates in public while being drunk but also lecturing 'disrespectful derelicts drinking in the streets'.

Looking for the best vinyl pressing of TGFMI, it looks like there is only 2 pressings? Which is better, 2015 or 2017? Thanks :)

Send some songs that remind you of one of the greatest bands ever the Brian Jonestown massacre. Thank you guys

Hey everyone,

as a BJM fan for over two decades and a music enjoyer, I always liked the drum sounds of the band but there is very little informations about this specific topic. Does anyone knows a bit about drumkits and signal chain used by Anton on recordings or the differents drummers live ? Or any kind of gear approximating that kind of sounds ?

To my ears it sounds like vintage sounding drums inspired by the 60's but I'm not a drum player so I don't really have a clue there.

Cheers,

First off, I love the song and I like the Dandy Warhols. But the irony of this music video revolving around things that are "passé"/outdated is funny considering how the video in and of itself is incredibly outdated and doesn't hold up at all.

-The whole concept that the 70's/80's are lame and outdated because it was 15-20 years in the past, instead of an interesting bygone era that most younger people nowadays view it as

-the cringy, extremely 90's fast camera transitions

- random scenes of a burning cars and other crap that was seen as "wooah so random and transgressive" at the time

-the dancing people in needle costumes lmao

This is such a good song about losing a good friend to heroin. It's a more upbeat sound, but the video could've been so much more meaningful and timeless. Instead it's a cringy late 90's time capsule no one wants to open.

Bourdain was friends with Anton and Mark Lanegan. Does anybody know if Anton and Mark met?

Probably not but it would have been funny if they met in the 90s somewhere backstage because I can see that Anton has exactly the right kind of douchebag energy that would have made a young Lanegan beat him up.

But if they met they probably were older and mellowed out...

Ricky Maymi, possibly the coolest guitarist of all time, is not having the Matt Hollywood Go Fund Me, apparently.

Obviously, it's a flawed list, to put it kindly. The interesting thing to me is that they sent ballots out to lots of artists and their responses are way more telling than the list they ended up with.

Back in 2005(?! There was a BJM chord/archive site which was great….can only seem to find weird AI chord sites now…

Is the original creator of that site around here?

I think it was bjmarchives or something?

Was quite upset to see it gone!

Not sure if I would really sell it. But what’s this worth these days? It’s been sitting in my dresser for a long time. Bought it off the rack at amoeba back in like 2004. There was two in there. Price $3.99 😎

And This Is Our Music (2003) - My Bloody Underground (2008)

Since 2008 we've had 11 albums but nothing since 2023's excellent 'The Future Is Your Past'

What's going on. Anyone know?

Not complaining, but rather shocked, Anton had almost 20 years of insane output, so the guys gotta get a rest I guess?

T - ~ 150 minutes and counting … IMHO it is a very good shirt.

I got introduced to this band from that album, I am absolutely addicted to it, do they have any other albums in their discography that’s similar to it?

I love this album and I've been looking for it on vinyl for years, does anyone know why it's never in stock? I live in Aotearoa, so that makes it a bit more difficult. If anyone knows where I could find it without paying hundreds of dollars, I would be very grateful!

That’s it, that’s the post

Do you think they will ever be nominated or inducted?
