I watched this documentary after seeing it mentioned in a discussion
on The Brian Jonestown Massacre's gig in Melbourne the other day.
It ended after 6 songs, a fight on the stage and the safety curtain coming down. Watch this film people said and it will explain everything.
It seems that this is typical behaviour at a BJM gig - not always, but seemingly dependent on how much booze/drugs the lead singer Anton Newcombe has ingested beforehand.
After watching this documentary you wonder how any of the band stuck around for as long as they did - most didn't, there have been many changes to their line up over the years.
I had heard of both the bands in this film BJM and the Dandy Warhols, but I recognised none of the BJM songs and 3 or 4 of the Dandy Warhols ones.
The simple explanation for the success of the Dandy Warhols and the lack of it for BJM is summed up at the end by Peter Holstrom of the Dandy Warhols in that Anton Newcombe just didn't want a career in music. The Warhols grew up and were disciplined.
