The Brian Jonestown Massacre Straight Up And Down

[joebstarsurfer]

Anton should make a jazz record fun to hear what he could do.

[somekindofaperson]

i came here because of boardwalk empire a few months ago. but who cares? both things, the song and the show are excellent. so let's enjoy both, and forget the rest.

[tssss900]

i never new this was BJM i thought they disbanded at the end of DIG

[TheHolyJeez907]

Cocaine FTW



[lgd1974]

It was a happy coincidence that I discovered BJM independent of and shortly after I began watching Boardwak Empire. Both are awesome.

[CaddenOnline]

Who gives a SHIT what brought you here! The fact is, you are here!

So shut the fuck up and enjoy the song :)

[inglouriousperson]

The only thing this video is missing is Steve Buscemi, sand, and liquor bottles.

[rishino]

B.R.M.C Brought me here

[Anthonysimmons96]

like if CORY KENNEDY brought you here

[DennisBayazitov]

I like to stand on the shore in my dress shoes, looking out towards the ocean seeing all those empty bottles floating.

[noahtaylor90]

what the f n k is boardwalk

[DennisBayazitov]

@noahtaylor90

Boardwalk Empire, one amazing TV show.

[ror77]

I've discovered Boardwalk Empire thanks to The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

[MrRamquez]

Cant hear vocals for shit but..nice song

[psadpoiafsdf]

I like this song. It just sucks to know that a band who tries really hard to be cool wrote something good.

[gmcaveety93]

Boardwalk sent me here, i'm afraid. But i'm glad it did - this song is giving me goosebumps

[Remington61189]

this makes me wanna take a nice stroll along the beach

[FlounderingFuzzle]

OMGZ I totally thought this was my personal fav band and now thanks 2 Boardwalk Empire SO MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT! Now when I bring my album to work everyones heard of it and I don't feel special, SO LAME!

[DaWaff1eman]

@FlounderingFuzzle Geeze fanboys gotta get off their high horse. So one obscured band of yours gets notoriety and you go ape shit because it's not "your" band anymore. Fuck off. The song is so so anyways.

[deathbringer1515]

@DaWaff1eman

Could not agree more.

Except I think this song is fucking awesome.

[DaWaff1eman]

@deathbringer1515 to each there own. I must say the lyric-less version (or part of the song) on the show is nice.

[666spacecowboy666]

I only know about Boardwalk because they used this song

[Jordanma36]

You know it's bad when "Boardwalk Empire Intro" has more views than this song..

[PIAF22]

Boardwalk Empire DID bring me here, and it's a damn good show so piss off you hipster scum.

[Ihaveguitars]

I DIG this:-)

[FlounderingFuzzle]

Why do people who know this music seem ANGRY that a TV show is attracting people to their favorite band?

[666spacecowboy666]

@FlounderingFuzzle BJM wasnst short on fans before boardwalk

[FlounderingFuzzle]

@666spacecowboy666 No one's saying they were!!! Goddamn hipsters, all I'm saying is that if a show is going to bring more people to the song, then isn't that a good thing? Who cares HOW you found out about the music, if they like it, they deserve a welcome!

[Galvorn11]

At least Boardwalk empire its better than Glee or Twilight or another shitty show,and no...Boardwalk didnt bring me here in fact im fan of  The BJM since my uncle died five years ago,he leave all his music to me, or at least my mom told me that, now im a big fan of BRMC too.

[dominicfields15]

I'm here because we watched Dig! in film studies

[VincentvanGhoule]

Thumbs up if Boardwalk DIDN'T bring you here

[razmataz13drums]

@VincentvanGhoule what is boardwalk. and Brian Jones brought me here

[VincentvanGhoule]

@razmataz13drums Boardwalk Empire. It's an HBO or Showtime show. HBO I think.

That dude is in it. Ghost World... Tarantino's flicks... Steve Buscemi! That's the ticket.

As well, and I'm sure you've noticed by now, BJM has nothing to do with Brian Jones but the name (and the outlandish claims in the Take It From The Man liner notes).

[razmataz13drums]

@VincentvanGhoule ah okay :) oh yeah yeha I know it has nothing to do with Brian Jones except from the name of the band. plus he's been dead for a while. thanks for the knowledge :)

[lolopit]

@VincentvanGhoule what if it did? how the FUCK does that matter?

[dirtytrainers]

Hey I've made a BJM video - if anyone is interested in having a look please Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request (1997) album version

[wayrod51]

Check out Portland school of rock kids doing this song with 2 of the band members here on YouTube .

[ThePoopcash]

Thumbs up if you didn't have to watch some shitty HBO show to know about this band and the song.

[pos6666666]

@ThePoopcash Surprised this is on a show. People still pay for HBO? hah

[FlounderingFuzzle]

@ThePoopcash Boardwalk Empire is an amazing show.

[greyeyed123]

Now Jimmy is in HBO Heaven with Ned Stark and Big Pussy. So very sad.

[AnthonySagen]

Has almost a Rolling Stones kind of sound. Great song.

[nathanzamora]

@AnthonySagen Yes ladies and gentlemen, someone called and asked if that was the Rolling Stones...

...You hear that Antoine? An- Anton?

They -SWEAT- like the Stones...

[pos6666666]

Just chill

[BallerCanadian]

My natural sense for good music brought me here

[ColinTheButthead]

No cares who brought you here.

[BaliSurfKid]

Cory Kennedy

[Ienstien965]

[MacTheKnife567]

@ThePassword1001 jimmy shagged his mum thats not cool

[DirkTheReunification]

No vocals? Even Richard Harrow could sing better than this bro.

[KCCheifers]

Anton brought me here

[yummpyummp]

[RunkkaajaApina]

@yummpyummp Maybe you haven't just found out that part of yourself.

[yummpyummp]

[YaBoysFresh]

[PsboyX360]

I like to take out my cigarette, wear a suit, walk around the beach and think my life's in slow mo while this song is being played.

[BrendanHottie]

i dont care where i'm livin or i'm dyin... yea uh

[thatcollegegirl]

fuck you guys and your spoilers

[023duffman]

there should be a spoil alert on this page for boardwalk empire. just found out that nucky shoots jimmy at some point, shit one. so to anyone else who didnt want to know this, dont read the start of my comment. :P

[liltimy1850]

More of Richard Harrow in Season 3 please.

[blimao86]

I was high...I didn't notice if my ass was red or not?

[b1ue2211]

Also... this song kicks so many asses i couldnt keep counting

[b1ue2211]

Jimmy Darmody had it coming... you don't fuck with guys like Nucky Thompson.

[roberaith]

But Nucky is my second favorite character because he's the funniest.

[borskyviolin]

@roberaith He wasn't very funny when he capped Jimmy in the head twice.

[roberaith]

Why did Jimmy have to die? He was my favorite character.

[FropAtTheTop]

I am Nucky Thompson and I approve this song.

[myfajahas400children]

Did anyone else just see that episode of Boardwalk? Fucking crazy man!

[jernox]

Nucky Thompson BITCHES!!!!!

[ManuChiefOmega]

Thumbs up if Boarwalk Empire brought you here. Yeah Nucky rocks so much!

[FatTonyCologino]

@ManuChiefOmega Fuck Nucky he killed my homeboy Jimmy Darmody.

[MrSnake9419]

@FatTonyCologino Nice one mate cheers, Came to listen to the theme and got the series ruined for me thanks a billion

[FatTonyCologino]

@MrSnake9419 You must be an idiot to read the comment section. It's an implied spoiler alert.

[MrSnake9419]

@FatTonyCologino No, this is a song that has no title no description of any kind to do with boardwalk empire yes its the intro but this was here before Boardwalk empire was even being made and you go and say that. Comments are for people to make opinions on the video above this has nothing to do with B.E as I just said I'm not an idiot, you're just an inconsiderate cunt.

[FatTonyCologino]

@MrSnake9419 Don't tell me what the fuck I can and can't say in the comment sectionI You fuckin grimmey autocrat youtube facist! You know the song is from the intro. It doesn't matter how long before the series it came out, it's relevant now. Therefore with that juxtaposition there is an implied spoiler alert. You can try and debate that but it will just make you the cunt.

[MrSnake9419]

@FatTonyCologino Doesn't matter you're still a wanker. Cya later trollbait.

[FatTonyCologino]

@MrSnake9419 I'm sorry but it's not my fault you are an idiot that reads the comment section. U MAD?! 

[MrSnake9419]

@FatTonyCologino aint even mad watched it today, btw sophia zombie inside of barn u mad now bro bet you are brah

[FatTonyCologino]

@MrSnake9419 HAHA! I seen that shit like two weeks ago! Rick blasted her!

[MrSnake9419]

@FatTonyCologino lulz

[Kotazo85]

@ManuChiefOmega yup...Even Ricky Gervais approves...hehehe....he gave all celebrities a Wedgie....all but mr. Buscemi hehehe

[johnnysanantonio]

This was taken from "Season Of The Witch" by Donovan. He also wrote it. Don't believe me? Believe your ears.

[quinncidential]

my heavens music 

[MrEcland]

God Bless Nucky Thompson. I didn't know this band. Shame on me!! Soooo good, I love it.

[theblahman]

@MrEcland Theres a pretty good reason why a lot of people dont know them, theres a great documentary on the band called DIg, actually one of the best music documentaries ever made

[adonkipod]

DIG!!! That :)



[SkateAllDay2112]

@256devinthadude07 #this #isn't #twitter #faggot

[suigetsu777]

[inddranil1103]

I came here because I just fuckin love alternative rock

[FatherJohnCarmody]

I was sent here by my "Comus" radio station on Pandora

[SoraThe1WingedAngel]

I'm here because of an employee of F.Y.E recommended this band to me and I, in turn, recommended Mountain Goats for that amazing Lo-Fi sound that I Love so dearly.

[a11mykn33gr0w5]

i was sent here by the flying spaghetti monster.

[MrObviouslyJesus]

It's like the Rolling Stones came back but better.

[Electroboob]

To anyone out there who needs tabs for a BJM song i'll gladly do requests.

[whiteganser]

"To the Lost."

[100tarantino]

this songs makes the intro of boardwalk empire amazing.

[aarondogman97]

obviously jesus sent me here, obviously.

[reyuntitled]

cory kennedy bitches

[Electroboob]

If anyone wants to learn this on guitar i just uploaded tabs for it on ultimate-guitar ;)

[eazym75]

@Electroboob yes please :)

[Electroboob]

@eazym75 It should be the first one that comes up when you type it in. My username on Ultimate-guitar is Jarokkari, just so you know you're on the right one. Enjoy.

[eazym75]

@Electroboob thanks a lot ;)

[Electroboob]

@eazym75 No bother ;) Ive worked out how to play most of their songs, just cant really be bothered tabbing htem out. But if you have any requests i can try do them.

[neiljft]

YouTube is like an art gallery - there I am looking around at competent work & then I see my first Van Gogh ! BJM wonderful

[15Jack95]

t does no good to pretend that you are me

why don't you be you

i love you but

you drag me down

[Draxillior]

what 12 year old wrote this crap... hey, there are more cords on the fretboard than those.... yeah.... you got these three workin.... and I knew Jim Jones... nad you are no Jim Jones!

[ColinTheButthead]

@Draxillior someone wants attention

[LethargicBannanazZ]

Precarious Motherfucker

[benthread]

this band is truly inspired

[Dagnamski]

Some people think my stuff sounds a bit like this

[musicwritersince1980]

Beginning at 3.40, this is right out of the 1960s. Every band wanted this sound. Few had it. Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, and a couple of others. Truly amazing music.

[Demulbros]

Who cares if I only know this song from Boardwalk Empire? The point is, I now know of this band, and I like it.

[gilliganhynes]

I'm a 2-day old zygote and I discovered this while my pregnant mother listened to a Brian Jonestown Massacre album AT THE EXACT SAME TIME as Boardwalk Empire came on. I heard both versions simultaneously through the placenta.

[MrSlippery92]

Thumbs up if you don't need people to direct you to great music....

[MrHalfeatenpie]

i wont lie...... my homie brought me here

[iunnodiapeys]

Fuck off with this brought me here shit. Seriously, does your life honestly fucking consist of you guys living your life by pathetic achievements such as getting a like on a fucking website?

[sco40]

Greatest guitar solo of ALL TIME!!! Puts Stairway to shame!!!

[musicwritersince1980]

@sco40 One of the best. Check out the intro to Take Me Alive by Steely Dan, and the break in Joe Cocker's When the Night Comes.

[coconutfever123]

thumbs up if The Brian Jonestown Massacre brought you here

[s0k3m1]

@coconutfever123 thank fuck for people like you 

[coconutfever123]

never seen the show..

LONG LIVE THE BJM!!!

[samchristie11]

@Thescreensaverr they're documentary came out in 2004 and got them world wide aclaim when they won best documentary at the sundance festival

[mufflaps]

@Thescreensaverr been going since the 90's you bellend

[Thescreensaverr]

@mufflaps And yet no ones heard of them until now.

[TulseLuper]

@Thescreensaverr First of all, that's not true. Second of all, what's your point? It's a great song regardless.

[sargebobo]

I hope Anton (BJM) and Steve Buscemi are getting big bucks to be in that crappy show. You both are genius artists, but the show is just trash to my opinion.

[astroboirap]

boaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaardwalk empire

[DaConnoiseur]

BOARDWALK IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV!!!

[PsicoVerein]

Boardwalk Empire... <33!

[akzegra]

officially my new ringtone! reminds me of summer days :x

[peachygnr]

I'm here because anton would kick me in the face if i didn't show up

[andymaq]

@MrBlackberry719 FUCKING HATE THIS SONG. NIGGERS

[tartaros3]

What is it for an instrument that starts playing the solo at 3:40?

@tartaros3 Sounds like a guitar solo run backwards, or a backwards delay pedal... very overdriven and compressed possibly a small amp... and a lo-fi (harmonica) mic might have been used as well.... but that's just a guess on my part
