Brian Jonestown Massacre - new album & 2010 tour dates

he really doesn't want to finish that steel

ugh.

Not digging the new direction Anton

judging from the venues they are playing, bjm is getting pretty popular.

weird fucking chinese shit

BEST BAND EVER

isn't that a picture of Frankie?

webster hall yall!

this was exciting news until i heard that horrible lego song. yikes. notice that the rehearsal video has a lot of OLD bjm music playing over it.

There last album was terrible. Pissed I actually paid for it.

These guys are irrelevant. And based on the new album title, they're desperately aware of that fact.

chances they actually make it to the end of this tour?

dude is a pompous loon.

1:42 hit it on the head. au

digging the new stuff, glad they're changing their sounds .

I'm a BJM fan (although the new tracks above sound like shit) but that top photo of Frankie Teardrop really shows what years of working with Anton will do to ya.

reminds me to watch DIG again

oh anton. get some help. is there gonna be a DIG 2???

Frankie!

never gonna last this tour, however good to see them back at Webster Hall.....another 4 hour epic set please

Yeah Anton looks like a ball to work with. Some great music in the past but is anybody from the original lineup left except Anton?
Thats a lot dates in row there which might be a miracle to see finished judging by the past.

Steel Reserve top three worst "beers" ever made.

UB, Matt Hollywood is an original member, back in the fold.

The tambourine player Joel Gion is such a douche. Not sure why they need him, but I can't stand watching someone rock out and dominate the stage with a tambourine. Used to see him working at reckless records on haight street many many years ago and the dude was always glamming it up.

Love the photo of Frankie!

Despite the last two albums, their live shows were phenomenal on last year's tour. They mostly did old stuff and it was great to see Matt Hollywood playing again. No antics from Anton either. They've finally gone pro.

"Not digging the new direction Anton"

great.go suck adam lamberts dick...or better yet lady gaga's.

"isn't that a picture of Frankie?"

yes it is and he's just had a son django so lets all wish the little guy the best!

"this was exciting news until i heard that horrible lego song. yikes. notice that the rehearsal video has a lot of OLD bjm music playing over it."

you will eat your words.if you knew anything...let alone that footie chant,you would understand that i fucking set a chant that over 3,000,000 people a day,just about everyday sing or say to a tune.its actually brilliant. so go fuck yourself.

"There last album was terrible. Pissed I actually paid for it. "

no its not.
its different than your taste you little shit.its a soundtrack to some very interesting films we are making...i'll bet you that you can not name one fucking person alive that can write a decent neo-classical tune on par with we are the niggers of the world and that is a god damn fucking fact.
you are a simpleton.i was just wasted when i played it.its hands down a better compisition than anything yani has ever writen.go play with your barbie dolls now or whatever it is that you do.

"These guys are irrelevant. And based on the new album title, they're desperately aware of that fact. "

you are jealous.infact you are stupid.ha-ha...stupid.how does that feel?to be stupid?and jealous?ha-ha...fuck off cunt you and your opinions are irelivent.fact is i have been getting paid quite well for 20 years now for mine.

ha-ha...stupid fucking dope.

"chances they actually make it to the end of this tour?"

yes,
we'll be great...i promise.but i'll bet money that if people fuck with us and start shit that they will either get their ass kicked by security or angry fans..or just get their ass kicked and chucked out and arrested.

no-bullshit please.lets try and have a good time and listen to some music.

"dude is a pompous loon."

do you get paid to be an asshole.....or is it just a hobby you do online when you are not checking your facebook or working at tacobell or something?

"The tambourine player Joel Gion is such a douche. Not sure why they need him, but I can't stand watching someone rock out and dominate the stage with a tambourine. Used to see him working at reckless records on haight street many many years ago and the dude was always glamming it up."

you are an idiot.

"

"I'm a BJM fan (although the new tracks above sound like shit) but that top photo of Frankie Teardrop really shows what years of working with Anton will do to ya."

you are not a fan.you are a shit talking smug little nobody.can i pay you not to be my fan you son of a bitch?

"Despite the last two albums, their live shows were phenomenal on last year's tour. They mostly did old stuff and it was great to see Matt Hollywood playing again. No antics from Anton either. They've finally gone pro."

ha..what last two albums?and this is our music?
what do you fucking want?

just get out of here,of of it.let it go.
see i am working on five albums at once.

i don't care if you don't like detka because its in russian...guess what?
alot of people that speak russian do.

see...we use bit torrent....
just go away...
please...you are not adventurous.you don't do drugs or enjoy drug music.you don't think scream you fucking devils give me my money and go back to hell in icelandic like golden frost,a real fucking curse,black majik against the bankers is good?great?then fuck you too....go away!

you don't think dean mantra is good?

go to hell.
you are not needed anywhere.

everyone else i'm anton fjordson on youtube.
its all about the favorites.it changes alot,but i know a zillion people and we upload insane music tracks. go to dirpy . com and burn everything to mp4 then you own it.better than napster but do it quick as they are cracking down.
get a 500 gig hard drive and store it.never upgrade your itunes again because they are encoding your mp3s to make them un-trade-able.

its going to be all streaming real soon.

see you in nyc!

let me see one of you make this...then you can say i am over-rated...otherwise just fucking shut up.

no russia at all (

i just did an interview for russian rolling stone.
we will play in russia sometime maybe at the end of the year...maybe ukraine too...its important..but this is such a new idea,and we don't like the rock star treatment...so we need to sort of figure out the right way to do something like this...make it good..just having a bus,with gear,14 people and the money...how to go have fun and not get killed for being stupid ha...it will happen...

Why don't you fuckers who haven't even heard it yet give it a chance? I've been lucky to hear it and it's amazing!!! It's got classic written all over it. Whether you like Anton or not you can't deny his genius! Leave the personality out of this and listen to the music for fucksake!!!

The new material is beautiful. Nothing like it around at the moment.

To ALL of the FUCKING inbred SHIT Talkers who have written any thing negative about this. GO FUCKING FIND A LIFE. Jealous, insignificant no talent CUNTS. I have listened to the MUSIC of Anton Almost from the beginning. Evolution! You all need to open your EARS & MIND And Shut that FUCKING hole in your face you call a mouth!!!
LOVE IT ANTON!!!

Desperate. Frightening. Totally transparent.

hahaha what a sad desperate cunt - the fact that a dick like Alan McGee and all the other sycophants suck up and support this fucking loser makes it all the more funny... a cunt who wouldn't know a great tune these days if it head him on the fucking head! I look down on you all... from a fucking great height and I pity the sad loser pricks you have become.

A Man Who Knows "Fuck All"! Keep hiding behind your keyboard asshole

the ladies doth protest too much, me thinks! a man who doesn't know how to talk to alan or anton, unless that man is mark e smith himself can have no grounds whatsoever in spouting this nonesnse! Seeing the BJM live is one of the modern wonders of the the world..

DETKA DETKA DETKA!!! Fantastico!!!!

smoking acid was the soundtrack of my winter 2009.

thank you.

Wales misses you BJM.

Hey what's a good line up !
See you in Paris

that's pretty epic if that's anton just putting all the haters in their place. the irony is that it's pretty assholeish for all these anonymous commenters to call anton an asshole on the internet.

Im glad too see that you people have no sense of of what real music is. You just want another BJM album you can sing along too and tap your foot to make you feel like your cool or that you arent such a shitty person. Anyone who takes crap about BJM's "new sound" or"direction" might as well died in the 90's and or try making their own music. What he has done and continues too do is unearthly and priceless and im not sorry that you cant dig it. It makes me mad too hear the ignorance of the so called music heads. Anton, the new album is fuckin the shit, and i wana go fucking mental on all this whinny untalenetd little pricks who cant have "thank god for mental illness 2" go listen too your fuckin pop stations and ill see you in Portland Anton! much love and gratitude, everyone who isnt down, fuck off-dig

NEW BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE STUFF IS CRAP. ANTON IS RETARTED, LITERALLY.

There are 100 fucking people in my shitty little town alone who are doing the same SHIT Anton is doing right now, on thier Macs! It's NOTHING NEW. Ever wonder why they play mostly all their old music on tour? Because people would throw fucking rocks at them if the played crap like "Detka! Detka! Detka!" or "Let's Go Fucking Mental". I would LOVE to see the crowd reaction to a BJM set that cosisted of ALL new material. That would be hilarious! Bet ya 10 bucks they play pretty much the same set list they've been playing for the past 10 years. Starts with "Whoever you Are", ends with "Swallowtail" and all the standards in between. "Nevertheless", "Servo", "Nailing Honey To The Bee", "When Jokers Attack" and the ever present "WHOOOOOOO?" YAWN! Time to call it a day ANTON. Ricky should kick your ass and leave your tired band. Joel is an idiot. The Quarter After is a much better band! Props Rob!

To the uninitiated, musical "vegans" out there, I say, LET THEM EAT CROW.

As you're obviously unable to evolve sonically with the times, and with the bands, perhaps you should stick to your cute little bands like We Are Scientists.

100 people in your town doing what i am doing?releasing songs in russian in russia?

eat my fuck but don't bite too hard when i cum anonymous little internet nobody.i wish them luck if they are.atleast they are doing something...you should try it sometime.and about me playing the same set for the last ten years?

you wish i could name one of your songs...one of your anything...thats the point...you don't mean shit...and more than half of my set is under ten years old...just like the girls you fancy you fucking tit.

ha...admit it...you wish someone cared about anything related to you or what you have done unfortunately most people go to burger king because they are stupid and hungry,not because of the cook...

whatever.

This music is for the future...
it may not appeal as much to the simple, mundane lot of thinkers and listeners that are ignorant to the higher artistic expression few who claim to be musicians actually utilize. Anton, you're a true artist and musician. I appreciate your sacrifice and genius.

Anton's schtick is really getting tiresome.

This is all pretty fucking hilarious - people bitchin' about older sounds and newer sounds = just bitchin'. I dig the BJM, period. The earlier stuff rocked my world. Hopefully this stuff does too, but if it doesn't, I'm not about to start calling Anton N and the crew a bunch of retards - I'm just gonna hit as many shows as possible and groove.

Peace.

Way to go Anton! New album is nuts, from Detroit but goin to chicago for the show. Genius man cant wait for the next one.

Wow - i had no idea this had gone so far. I posted the original (don't like the Lego song) comment, but didn't mean anything that bad. I just checked back in. I am a turd. You are one of the greats of our generation. Sorry, Anton.

I've been listening to Smoking Acid and some of Who killed Sgt. Pepper and my friends are all like, "Wow, what the fuck is that?" And I'm like "BJM" and their jaws drop. I dig it, too - especially the sheer technical proficiency of it - but I sense an emotional disconnection - a distance. Maybe that's the point. Am I missing some pathos here? Is that what it is? The vocals are so buried... it's like a huge thrumming wail of sound... a little frightening.

I mean, shit... I just listened to Swallowtail and that tune put a chill up my spine - for a jaded freak like me, that's rare. Haunting stuff, Anton.

D-DAY the 6th of June YEAH ! There are no coincidences.
Kill'em all Anton .Full steam ahead ..take no prisoners. BJM best band out there !

WKSP isfuckingmentalandI'moldLOL. IlikeeverythingI'veheard,brilliantstuffAnton.

lookingforwardtoJune6NYC!

ok, when at mexico?

anton must have not like the fans in texas.

what can i say ,well just found this band on old jock radio , 2 weeks ago so am wee bit behind , so some folks want the band to sound to stay the same (they should listen to Status Quo LOL )how can any band thats made 10 LPs stay the same , ive gone out and bought 7 so far in 2 weeks , what am hearing nothing more than magical , its a breath of fresh air on that first frosty morning of winter , one last point stop moaning just let it grow music is to be enjoyed , good luck on the tour see yous in GLASGOW ::::::::::::STEVIE FAE MONTROSE::::::::::::

Way to go Anton! You are coming to Missouri! Saw Dandy Warhols here and their show was brilliant, I like their new stuff live better than recorded. Looking forward to seeing your show. I never thought you would come here. Bring a long long show please, none of that in and out in five songs like the early Stones did. I can't say why people didn't get MY Bloody Valentine or this new stuff, probably they just want the same stuff originally put out in BJM early days. This happens to every band when they change something, everyone thinks they have sold out or lost imagination or talent. Drug music indeed. I'm sober and I catch a buzz from it. Anton, we are gonna need you to legalise pot pretty soon, the beer and wine ain't cuttin it. Can't wait to see the show. By the way, hope the volcano in Iceland isn't screwing up your flight plans or way of life. Hope you play Here It Comes live, and bring Miranda Lee Richards if her career isn't keeping her busy. For that matter bring the Dandy's for a legendary show. Love your music then to now! And don't listen to all these idiots, just keep your normal professionalism, talents, and vision honed to a nice sharp edge. thanks

I can blow a bonerphone and play a pretty mean skin flute. Anton, you think I could jam with you guys?

Really???? No Austin???

No TEXAS??? Anton PLEASE!!!

ANTON_ can you please release pol pots?

Anton responding to a forum in barely comprehensible ranting...followed by 10 "we love you anton" posts.

never saw that one coming.

ya'll need to stop poking the bee's nest - just let them keep to their isolated patch of flowers, drinking their own diluted honey.

of course, this being BV - can't expect that. maybe just pick a less obvious mark.

Saw last nights Toronto gig, and it was probably the best gig they have managed here (there have been some disasters in Canada along the way). band was tight, no drama just good times.
Unfortunately I had to leave at the 2 hour mark (when the show was getting even better - Anton - - Tim Hortons Sucks sorry man but it's shitty coffee)
Glad to see sobriety is working for the band,
As for the album I picked up the vinyl last night (keeping the band in cigarettes for another day) and am looking forward to listening tonight (i'm listening to crappy mp3 of it at work and so far I like the whole album, fuck people why should he keep doing the same shit over and over I hate bands that don't grow)
Only regret is I was denied media due to the oversold situation (it was packed), could have got some great pics
Go see the tour you won't be disappointed

I absolutely love the new album and the new direction of the last 2. Some of it rocks my balls so hard that literally go berzerker. Iceland. so very cool. Everything these guys do is never redundant. If people want you to keep writing the same music, which has always been brilliant. They should just stick to Tepid Peppermint and delve into the great history of rock where that music came from. A good artist will always evolve and change. A mediocre one finds something they are successful with and keep doing a little change to it each time. Ho Hum. ANTON PLEASE CONSIDER COMING BACK TO CHICAGO SOON OR DETROIT OR GRAND RAPIDS. Your band is Fucking awesome

this is all good. enjoying it )

pls come back to austin soon. help keep austin weird or wired..

Tour The South. Do you think we're all cow-fuckers oblivious to what's going on?

PLEASE COME TO TEXAS! AUSTIN OR HOUSTON, WE LOVE YOU ANTON!

hey BJM, swing by Charlottesville, VA, so happy for you getting proper rec for "Straight Up and Down" cant stop playing the alt version at the end of "Take It..."

Pity for those fans of non-english-speaking country.Seems he has no plan to hold a concert for those country.
