  • I kind of don't like Brian now. Lol

  • They really are incredibly different haha.

    It's so strange.

    I never would've imagined, I thought they were lovers haha

  • It's not that Brian is an asshole, it's just the way a relationship doesn't work anymore.

  • the thingis, he probably KNOWS he looks like a dick.That'sprobably the aim.:D

  • They are so alike, it's crazy.

  • Yeah, the unedited interview shows a much better insight and is much more fair to Brian. The way this is edited is irresponsible and really does make brian look like an asshole, when really he was only jumpy for a couple moments before explaining why they were parting ways.

  • @Sammydoodle14 hey there - do you know where the full interview can be seen?

  • @Sammydoodle14 ahh found it.. sorry.. my blur eyes :)

  • I love the Dresden dolls Im ten I've loved there music for years I wish they got back together as the Dresden dolls and I wish I could meet them

  • I'm sad that it was edited to make Brian look bad. But I'm sure thats not what was intended. It'll be interesting to see how they both blossom seperately. I would go insane too if I had to see the same person everyday for years. But I'm happy that if they break up it won't be on bad terms! :)

  • It seemed a little deliberate to me as well; The editing just seemed to imply Amanda being cast out in the cold without her partner, rather than both just persuing their dreams individually. People are who they are and need what they need, Amanda and Brian are not immune to that.. People have differences, which is ultimately what the video portrayed and that's okay. We all may very well lament the end of Dolls, but I wish them the best of luck and eagerly await what they present next. :)

  • that dude is on coke for sure

  • @romperstompist Haha! No, he's not!

  • @romperstompist "that dude" - pasta yes, coke no. 

  • I think the interviewer was deliberately trying to Brian look like an asshole. Amanda herself has said this isn't the case.

  • He looks like he's coked out to me. -.-

  • i wish i played drums so i could make music with Amanda

  • @nflmj93 dont need a drum kit to start. You can air drum to get your co-ordination right (I am being serious) Need to move all 4 limbs by interdependently in the same pattern and time. Its all multi tasking also have to be counting at the same time and be able to talk and do improve with out slicing your self on the cymbals (trust me it happens). Just trying to talk and count at the same time can be a challenge at first. Good drummers are in great shape too :)

  • @GloomFate well i kinda have the in shape part down but thats about it. lol thanks for the advice though:)

  • Brian does not look his usual self (in comparison to other interviews). Strikes me as rather jumpy, if not irritated, and badly trying to conceal that by fake eagerness.

    *And I look like an ass-hole" is a telling phrase... Seems like it's not for the first time he feels this way.

    Anyway, sad...

  • brian is so hooooot I wanna do him!

  • Wow. This was so intense.

  • Hmm... some of you guys should keep in mind that we do not hear the actual questions asked. And that the way you're asked a question has great effect on the answer you're gonna give.

    Maybe it really isn't Brian being an ass, but instead the interviewer who is one;P or really really annoying, or something else that would make a guy like Brian (or basically anyone)answer in that manner;)

  • @MrMasterMear And what part of "watch the complete unedited video" in the description is not clear. You have a point, but you also have the opportunity to judge for yourself whether you find this a fair representation of the interview.

    This is mostly directed at those who find this video unfairly edited. Watch the whole thing, then.

  • I read somewhere they were attracted to each other but didn't act on it and I always saw Brian as the victim of that... Guess I was wrong ._.

  • @IseeYouAndYouDont

    I though the same...

  • Viggie, you're a human being. Do your thing. I think some of these kids want you to be what they want you to be. You keep rockin' the free world, sir.

    By the way, I loved you in the World/Inferno. And you are nice as hell, and more down-to-earth than most musicians I have ever met. Cheers.

  • I don't think he's really an asshole, but it does appear so in this video. I think it's just that they need time apart, and it's about time that they settle it out. Because I know what she means when she says she wants to sort everything out, and he's not all emotionally there. I think the two of them as people are very great people that I look up to, but it's about time. Ya know?

  • I think this was clearly edited to make brian look like an asshole. And it's not fair because he isnt.

    And now Amanda's had an amazing solo career and he's off doing his own stuff, and it's fine, and it's not fair that this video shows it different.

  • @mardisaurus I personally don't think he looks like an ass. he just thought amanda felt the same and also was exited about the future. Then when he realized she didn't, he kinda feels guilty and that's why he says "oh now i must look like an asshole".

  • the dresden couple divorced? XDDDDDDD

  • thumbs up if you think, like me, that theyre tragically in love and denial.

  • it looks more like brian doesn't want to work with her anymore. :( my friend finally just got me into this band too.

  • @funnygirls0301 then you'll be happy to know they are playing shows again and from an interview I read they are working on a new album next year.

  • AW see thats what I thought. I thought that Brian was gay but him and Amanda had some complicated deal going on where they just liked to be together and have sex...but from what Amanda said in a few interviews they weren't really together at all. In one she said they were like a married couple that never fucked. If that's chase why are their so many naked pictures of them together? I'm so confused, and they are both so attractive!

  • This makes me so sad... and yes, Brian looks like a complete ASS.

  • This video is hard to watch... They both look so awkward, it's really sad.

  • Brian appears as though he is fighting back the tears, by being overly confident. =[

  • i so wish they didnt split up they were such and inspiration amanda had such a simple voice amazing music and brain wasnt desprate to be noticed and just kinda hung out ova playing the drums like a beast (:

  • brian is fine amanda is fine both of them could never know the sucsess they were about to endure these 2 people have great chemistry and are by nature performers but there still human also not machines there is a natural order to all

  • things and a band is a relationship witch has to have time to mature aswell i hope they both give it time for it to mature more i dont think they didnt have the chance to really do that in the beginning of there carriers and this is prolly a result of it but for all you fans out there no one is at fault just give it time

  • Screw the drama, Brian is stunning in this.

  • Brian exclaims things with his mouth exaggerating the words a bit and uses his hands alot when he's talking, it reminds me of Amanda. Also a bit like Jimmy Urine from MSI here.

  • SO DEPRESSING!!!!!!!!! :(

  • Awww. They both looked silly and weak in this.

  • I wish this video didn't exist and I was back in 2006

  • fuck...this is sad :/

  • In the end, I think I'll respect Brian more. Amandas become such a sell-out attention whore since her solo career and relationship with Neil Gaiman. Tweeting pics of herself naked and written on, undressing at the Golden Globes. I just get the impression she's trying to grab as much attention as possible before her 15 minutes (association w/ Neil) are up, demeaning herself and going against everything she once stood for in the process. Astounding how a bit of fame can really change a person.

  • @Shenaniger

    where are these nude pics lol?

  • @fnogman333 Just Google 'amanda palmer naked'.

  • This makes me sad.

  • They make Brian look like a dick in this, which isn't right...

  • what song is playing?

  • whoever edited this video is a juvenile cock-head.

  • I died a little inside when I watched this video.

  • Why are they going to stop?! :'(

  • "we love playing with eachother so much that it's hard for me to imagine..." lol

  • To Codeaires, if it was for Brian noone would know who Amanda is.  Brian is an amazing drummer with great stage presents. Amanda on the other hand is a dime a dozen singer.

  • Hey, if Black Sabbath can get back together, then anything is possible. Life is long, and roads aren't straight. Every so often they wind back around. If they do a reunion, I bet it'll be lots of fun.

  • I was so upset when they broke up...

  • @prosaicpseudonym

    I was too.They were such a fucking great band!

  • @prosaicpseudonym Same here!! They were freakin awesome! Her stuff now is ok, but I miss the Dresden Doll feel!!

  • I will remember him for sure, I look at all the videos to look at his candid attitude ^^

  • I think this cut is really biased

  • Well in the end no one's going to remember him, they'll just remember Amanda's awesomeness XD

  • @codeaires he's become a REALLY busy session musician. World/Inferno, the Cliks, Black Tape for a Blue Girl and a ton others. The Dresden Dolls are very rare for the fact the drummer is so acknowledged

  • I will remember the very amazing drummer in the hot make-up. uh, not sure I could forget. I love them both and wish them both well.

  • This makes this seem like Brian is a complete asshole. I really doubt he isn't. Maybe they were just trying to portay just different points or whatever, but that is what it felt like to me.

  • I mean " I really doubt he is."

    I don't think Brian is an asshole.

  • @totalamazingness - I don't think Brian is an asshole either, anyone is bound to feel a little smothered in that situation. This really sucks though... They were awesome together! Maybe they'll miss the whole Dresden Dolls thing one day and get back together for a new album or two - I hope so anyway :P

  • Comment removed

  • Ohhhh man

    Hes got a world inferno Friendship society hoodie on. I automatically choose his side

  • This looks almost like a break-up. He seems like hes dumping her and she loves him. He kinda looks like an ass hole. The Dresden Dolls are awesome and should be the same forever. What a shame...

  • @ClownsPlusDolls I think it's more the opposite. People act defensive & bitter when they've been hurt.

  • Well he wasn't being bitter. he just seemed like he didnt care either way. She seemed to like to play with him more then he likes to play with her

  • @ClownsPlusDolls Watch the full interviews.

    Also, it's interesting to note that their split coincided with her growing relationship with Neil Gaiman, a foxy demon-child in his own right.

  • wow...that was an interesting video editing!!! I love holland see you jam out someday..la di da blarg de blarg...yea music

  • Musicians are brilliant but have no common sense--that's why we love them.

  • i thought he was going to join Nine Inch Nails in 2007 after he worked on their Ghosts album.

  • It's a story as old as rock 'n roll that:

    a) The drummer gets sick of being in the background

    b) The lead singer wants to go solo

    Let's just be glad that this particular instance ended as well as it did.

  • I'm so sad to hear this, I loved these guys! but I truly understand being as I was in a one woman one man band myself, accept he played drums and I sang and that was all but it was good! we also had great chemistry musically I mean it was like being in love in this mind blowing relationship haha but we too "broke up" (musically and friendship wise) 3 years ago, but I gotta say that was the best jammin days of my life, I'd love to go back to it I was doing music so much more!

  • lying or not lying not picking a side but i think we as funs took a big it from it we loved there music and and art and thoughts that was put into it and now theres nothing to look forword to dont mean that in a its the end of the world but i know i wont find nothing like them again ps like her new stuff but this was sooo much batter sorry i didnt even get to see them play live not thats my end of the world moment lol

  • He's an ass, definitely. Amanda is crazy, but that's why we all love her. And we'll keep on loving her

  • :[ I understand that Brian needed to do his own thing, and PERHAPS Amanda was lying(I really doubt she was though, she seemed WAY more into it than Brian did, but that's just what I get from the energy) but hey they went their own ways and I guess they're happy about it. :/ I'm not though :[ But oh well. You do get to a certain point though where if you spend to much time together.. Well you're gonna kill eachother, plain and simple. Brian WAS a bit of an ass in the video though, just a bit.

  • every band has such prob cuz we are all different and cant relate

  • That was rough. 0-0

    And awkward.

    I still love them both though. hah.

  • Damn Brian looks like such an ass in this.

  • redcorpse,

    Brian, an ass? WHAT? Please, he is a sweet and kind person for sure! As, well as Amanda. They are both humble and very generous to their fans. Mark my words, they will be back!

  • =( I like my idealist view of the band where they love eachother and call eachother every night like eight times..and finish eachother's sentences! sighhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • @amakao16

    Ahahaha. That made me happy.

  • @amakao16

    much agreed - i shall duly *ignore/forget* i watched this vid - makes me sad =(

  • @amakao16 I know, right? lol

  • Brian has officially been kicked of my celeb freebie list.

  • I lost alot of respect for brian.

  • this confirms the almost final nail. now iv known the dolls havnt been foreging ahead with new material for the last year with amanda doing her solo stuff and i thought brian was doing some stuff with her for her solo except keeping in the back, no brian (who has posted this vid) is off doing other things. well as amanda said its like brother sister. you can not talk for months and then come back and the relationship hasnt taken much of a hit. productivity on the other hand. all understandable.

  • Dresden Dolls is probably one of my favorite bands ever, I mean it. But hey, things happen. I will say that if you guys ever do a reunion tour I'll definitely buy a few tickets!

    And damn Brian you look good with and without the white face powder :)

  • God I hate paparazzi interviewers. They ask the most awful questions about their social lives. Wow Brian is hot close up tho lol

  • You should see him up close, in person, shirtless, hot, and sweaty after playing a show (not Dresden Dolls). It's fabulous. He's super nice too.

  • the interviewer was really misleading when he told Brian that Amanda wanted to continue with the Dolls. If you ever read her blog around this time she made it pretty obvious that she wanted to break away, at least for a while.

  • I'm mad. D:

  • :( so sad. does anyone know what song it is thats in the background?

  • That would be "Night Reconnaissance."

  • Amanda's solo shiiit is a bit better than The Dresden Dolls' anyway. Though, Brian is pretty much the best drummer ever, in my opinion.

  • so they slit!!??! more info please!! if they slit its a damn shame.

  • You can read more on amanda's blog. They are on hiatus basically. Maybe they will reunite but they're happy in their own places. She promotes Brian and world inferno promotes her stuff via their myspaces. Sign up for the e newsletter on her site or follow her on twitter. She's on hiatus now too, doing a few shows in europe and having fun with her new beau Neil Gaiman <3 hope it helped.

  • they didn't break up or anything. They're just spending some time apart. Amanda has said on her blog that the Dolls hadn't "broken up".

  • HEY brian wears a pullover of "The World/Inferno Friendship Society" !!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • he plays for them sometimes i think

  • ah so thats what happend to them i was wondering what was going on. From what i hear i can imagine them coming back together in the future.

  • They are both sooooooooooo eccentric. what great characters.

    I was just enoying both their facial expressions while they talked

  • I know it seems like Brian is an arsehole and like he wants to break away. It's only the way it's been cut together and it's their personal feelings and they're both different. Besides, right at the end there, Amanda practically agrees that it was good for them to have space. And it is, bands have been destroyed from working together too long.

  • Yeah, this is really sad, but hopefully they'll do a reunion tour in a few years and they'll come back with something fresh and exciting like they always do. :D

  • Wooah! I never knew Brian was so CUTE! Haha!

    I love Dresden Dolls! I wish i got to see them Live before they broke up

  • so true, Brian. you did sound like an asshole xD But, i think Amanda's solo album will be as good as the Dresden dolls were. i havent gotten a chance to listen to it yet.

  • oh.. well... goodbye Dresden Dolls ^^

  • This was interesting -- a very honest interview is rare.

  • Brian seems like a jerk.

  • i think it's just the incredibly biased editing. if you think about it, if amanda hadn't said the stuff about waiting to hear from him, he wouldn't look like a jerk at all.

  • hahah, true. he was saying all the productinve stuff he did, and she was like "...i waited for him to call..."

  • what is the song at the begiing pweasee?

  • Night Reconnaisance.

  • They've already started talking about doing something together in 2010, as far as I've heard. Amanda recently posted that after she finishes up a few more shows, she's taking a hiatus from touring/recording completely for a little while, to take some time for herself. After that, I think we may see a reunion.

  • Comment removed

  • Intensive purposes?

  • people, this is not true. amanda herself blogged about it on the website. they are on HIATUS, not breaking up. sure her relationship with brian has always been a little messy, as is any relationship. but as amanda and brian have done numerous times before, they will likely join forces for more dresden dolls. and if they dont? well then whatever they r doing in the music world is probably pretty amazing anyway. dont freak out yet dresden doll fans :)

  • this is.

  • Seriously sad shit...just discovered the Dolls about the time they were breaking up for good according to this video...they were great together, wish I'd learned of them years ago...

  • same here :( i always pick the wrong times to start liking bands. now theyre broken up and i will never get to see them perform together.

  • This year I started liking them and I had known about amanda having a solo album...but I didn't know it was because there were no more dresden dolls :'(

  • the way the edited this made brian seem like a REAL asshole

  • Comment removed

  • I've always gotten the impression that AP had a hard time letting creative control go enough for others to participate and that Brian was slowly getting fed up with it - there has always been a steadily building angry energy between them imo. Plus its hard to let a man get that close to your heart and then go off and date other guys and not expect things to get weird.

  • seems like you know a lot about what was going on... (and I'm not being ironic)

  • love the hoodie he is wearing!

  • Yeah he does. I don't know why they call it a hiatus if they are totally done.

  • That's so sad..I still love listening to their music, there really is nothing quite like it.

  • brians not being mean you nancys, hes just not tip toeing throught the fuckin tulips, honest interview, their 2 different people who made great music and now need to go thier seperate ways........good luck to both of you and im excited to see what you 2 concoct seperatly=]

  • She's got an amazing solo album out. It's still awesome, just in a different way. It's who killed amanda palmer, if you haven't heard about it.

    bryan is with a band the world/inferno friendship society. i'm pretty sure he's pretty permanent. that's all i've heard about him though.

  • He's also playing on the new NIN album Ghosts I-IV, and with the band Black Tape for a Blue Girl...

    My opinion is that Amanda was just too much to handle..

    Who killed the Dresden Dolls, AP?

  • I don't wanna say that. I think they were just done with each other. It's really cool that he's doing what he wants to do, and she's doing the same. And, haha, I get the joke. Who knows? It's a good excuse for them to get rid of each other for awhile.

  • wow...brian ish kind of a douche...

  • Aww...I really liked them. Well Hope all goes well for Brian and Amanda...scorpio's can be rude sometimes lawl. "well then i look like an asshole dont i" oh well.

  • I actually just started listening to them like a week ago. It seems like she still wants to continue and he doesn't. It's weird, he was kinda harsh in parts of the interview.

  • What's the song in this video..?? o.o

  • Night Reconnaissance.

  • Ah.. Thankies.. xD

  • The dresden dolls are not finished this is just gossip on their offical website they have said that they are just taking a break and will be back to playing together in the near future

  • Her eyebrows man...

  • agreed lol

  • aw poor girl! they dont have the same feelings for each others (i think)

  • Brian just gets cuter and cuter.

  • Well, then i look like a asshole, dont I?

    xD

    but anyways,

    this makes me sad...and i have to inform the rest of my chums all about this now...

    we shall have a dresden dolls party...i just wish i could have been at one of thier shows before that quit

  • I'm a little sad. I just started really liking them, now I find out they aren't really touring anymore. I was really looking forward to seeing them live, but seeing that they aren't in on it anymore. :(

  • really?

  • no not really. That's him. I've seen them live...that's definitely him.

  • This is him silly, and to me he seems bitter.

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O

    i just died inside :'(

  • I'd really like to know why orzo is a tag for this...

  • Damn... Now I wish I got to see them in 07 when they were near me.

  • Same here!!

  • and why wasnt i informed of this sooner?! oft! oh well

    X

  • Wow.. no more Dresden Dolls?

    =/

    This kills mee..ughh..

    Well.. they both have their own opinions of each other.. and they both agreed to something they think is best for both of them..

    I fell in love with him 4 years ago.. too bad it has to end

  • Sikura12 is a fucking idiot......Amanda is quite amazing but Brian is also his own bad ass entity

  • It was good to see that they played together on the evening of Obama's inauguration at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. There are some song clips from that concert up on YouTube.

  • the dresden dolls are playing in DC at the inauguration... they are not dead...
