AJJ Andrew Jackson Jihad (Sean Bonnette) performing "Kokopelli Face Tattoo" from the album "Christmas Island" on A Fistful of Vinyl on KXLU 88.9 FM Los Angeles and www.kxlu.com (who, incidentally, doesn't own this or anything else.)
Pick up the Andrew Jackson Jihad album from Side One Dummy Records! store.sideonedu...
He does something cool here: He changes a line in the song from "Somewhere greener? Somewhere cleaner?" to "Somewhere greener? Me fucking neither." I love that :)

Wow, I always thought he said, "be fucking neater."
+AFistfulOfVinyl I enjoy how he randomly does that often. Like in his oakland video during survival when he switches the "do re mi" verse to "how do you like me now" I play that version and my wife hates me for it hahahahah
+AFistfulOfVinyl he does that pretty often, there's so many different recordings of his songs, almost every recording is a little different. it's neat.
I thought he said "be fucking meaner"
Maybe its the teenage part of my brain that has stuck with me to this ripe old age of 25, but adlibbed swearing always improves a song for me.
Gordon freeman is so talented
So glad he made it through Ravenholm
Underrated comment lmfao
@@AFistfulOfVinyl So glad you replied to something 5 years after you uploaded the video lmao, proves how timeless AJJ is.
I for one am glad he cut the ponytail
@@Yeehiourd I think the Door Barney from Black Mesa would like to have a word with you
"I'm sorry for the cusses " deliberately puts an extra cuss in :)
I like your name
And it's my favorite part of this version too haha
Me fucking neither 😂
Dude is that an Andrew Jackson bobblehead behind him? lol
He plays this song different on every recording
"sorry for the cusses." sean is so precious
+littlejanuary Sean the cinnamon roll lmao
Certainly not the angry cinnamon roll 😂😂
The man literally writes about cannabalism
sinnamon roll
the fuck are you tumblr egirls on about? Sean is super fucking edgy
Meeting this guy in person was amazing. I can't even describe it. Just a small sweet little man.
Aaa bro meeting him must've been amazinggg, how did you meet???
but he has an angry heart
i think i enjoy watching sean's face more than the actual music
but i really enjoy the music
Paul Franken He makes so many goofy faces, I hope I get to meet him somehow when I see him live
The acoustic of this song is amazing wow
They are better live in my opinion.
In person how about that
Wow
As a Phoenician I can safely say he's the best thing to come out of Phoenix.
"People from Phoenix are Phoenicians."
Joseph rivas two things we have in Arizona hot ass weather and good local bands
Joseph rivas 480 represent!
As another resident of Phoenix, I completely agree
Cant forget Greeley Estates! Theyre awesome too!
"....and let me tell you some weird shit."
Me, when I meet someone new.
he looks & sounds exactly the same live; fucking perfect
If you don't get carried away singing AJJ tunes them you must not have any soul. I'm in love with this dude and his music and I'm gonna see him for the first time in February 11th!! I'm suffocating from the happiness!!
Jacob Groome how was it?
I honestly did not think It was possible for me to love these guys any more than I already did.....
The new album is so amazing, Andrew Jackson Jihad never lets me down.
liking them won't make you like yourself :(
I like myself just fine............today anyway. :/
I met sean the other day and he’s literally the most pure human being
this song literally changed my life
Man, he puts it all on the line for every performance. I hope that the work I put in to music can build to something like this someday. Oh yeah I'm seeing him live next month too:) very exciting
HIS VOICE IN THIS omg its so good
nice pfp!
Thanks for being awesome guys, in the past 4 months I've sound Pat the Bunny, Allison Weiss, and now AJJ because of you. Maybe one day you'll be playing my stuff
i love him so much
I love this version more than the one on the album. AJJ is the best
definitely my favorite song off of christmas island, i spent almost an hour learning all the cello parts that are on the studio version. really cool that so many good bands use string instruments and brass too, always fun to hear a song that i know i can play along to!
Literally put this on every playlist. Any other version will not do.
This song brings me back to the beginning of quarantine when I was abusing a shit ton of amphetamines
Hope you're doing better now, friend
Drugs are bad
Sound's like my last 3 decades... Meth is a helluva drug

I aspire to play guitar the way Sean does
I love this guy! He's so nice. Me and a bud saw them live in Orlando. Christmas Island is amazing!!!
I gotta listen to more of his music, he's amazing
Meeting this man changed my life
Chris A ok hippie
I am in love with Sean.
This version is great
IN THE BLOOD CULT OF THE MISLEAD YOUTH I GOTTA BAD CASE OF THE YELLOW FLASH LIGHT BLUES
Such a gem of a band. Never ever ever fail to cheer me up.
so good.
I love this channel from the bottom of my heart. You dudes have provided some of my favorite renditions of my favorite songs.
It's not punk to play chords I can't form with my fingers yet.
Which chord are you referring to?
I was just looking at some of their tabs it and pretty much every song I looked at was c g f am but not aways that order lol.
It’s not punk to have fingers
yeah right the bar chords close to the nut like F, B and Bb especially suck so much to learn
it's not very punk to decide what's punk and what isn't, bloody teenagers.
THIS IS THE BESTTTTT
anybody notice the little andrew jackson in the back lol
Romell S where at I think I see knife man but idk
ExoticMind nah the actual president
i love the acoustic version so much better.
Absolutely perfect. I love it
I'm going to see their show in Athens next monday, and I really hope they play this there.
this reminds me of going home to grandmas after school
I used the saying "hating you doesn't make you suck any less" to one of my school bullies awhile back when he was kicking my ass for no reason again, lets just say i got an extra black eye from it but im proud as hell for it
this was so good I had to play it twice.
Only twice?
He's so awesome!
My drama teacher in high school looked exactly like Sean only ginger.
I've watched this video along with many others probably over 30 times...
This video rocks my fucking balls.
That is high praise, friend.
Nice profile pic!
I love ajj...this is so great. I'd take his songs over radio crap any day.
Better than the original for sure
Sean gave us such an amazing performance here. Truly one of a kind. Did you check out the rest of the session? And hey, if you're into it, I'd love you to subscribe to the channel!
A Fistful Of Vinyl hell yea I did, I’ll make sure to check out more of your guys’ content
AJJ = GOAT
I really like this ! :)
God I love Sean!
I think I should play this to my dad
or yourself, as i believe it was intended
Thanks willie
I've listened to this song so much lately that I might make the views get to half a million lol.
god same
i just discovered this
Im sorry but this is better than the album version.
Brilliant! awesome. Trying not to hate as well.
"Now I'm a drug induced heart attack". Story of my life.
his voice is so fucking good. sean please let me borrow your vocal chords. just for an hour
anyone have a link to the chords for this? any that i find tend to be garbage and i can't get his fingering positions down from the video alone
somebody's gotta do it
I would marry hiiiimmm
I would too.
Haha I'll win him over damn it
I can sing and play about all AJJ songs ^.^

Being able to is different than doing it. Most of their songs are super simple.
wtf?
If anyone's listening to this song thinking "that's my life + it couldn't get worse." Well, my son just replaced the word "kokopelli" with "Coco melon" 😭 assuring, once again, that it could always be worse 🤷
It's always a beautiful song, not detracting from that at all, but I miss the bass, I hear it echoing in my head
i was a sexy little viper, oh
in the corner of a king tut tomb
when the hatred started
going choo-choo
i was a rat on a burning ship
and when we sunk our fire got put out
it was just like the great plague
just like the birth of under wear
hey dude, i hate everything you do
but I'm trying really hard to not hate you
hating you won't make you suck any less.
i was a wheel in a war machine
now I'm a toilet in a restaurant
somebody's gotta do it
i know my place
i was a baby-killing cadillac
now I'm a drug-enduced heart attack
somebody's gotta do it
i know my place
HEY DUDE, i hate everything you do!
but i'm trying really hard to not hate you
hating you won't make you suck any less
have you ever wanted to be
have you ever wanted to see someone better
in the mirror?
have you ever wanted to go
have you ever wanted to know somewhere greener?
me fucking neither
i bet you got something beautiful in mind
they're gonna beat me 'til I'm black and blue
give me a kokopelli face tattoo
and ill tell you a secret
christ(?) is german for williams
in the blood cult of the misled youth
I've got a case of the yellow flashlight blues
let me tell you some weird shit
there's gonna be a big old civil war inside my house tonight
hey dude, i hate everything you do
but I'm trying really hard to not hate you, cause
hating you won't make you suck any less
and hating you won't make me suck any less
hating you won't make you suck any less.
"Phoenix folk-punk band Andrew Jackson Jihad make a reference to Kreuzberg in the song "Kokopelli Face Tattoo" with the lyric "Kreuz is German for Williams." Vocalist Sean Bonnette claims this pokes fun at the young hipness of Kreuzberg, in that it is similar to a German version of Williamsburg, Brooklyn."
SOURCE: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kreuzberg
Pretty sure it is Viper Room in reference to the club where River Phoenix OD'd and died. Johnny Depp was a co owner of the club and preforming in his band with Flea from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, while River died outside. Could be wrong though.
Hate train started*
@subcomandante marcos lol how exactly does rune make a whole lot of more sense?
Song seems to talk about people who are situations that then leave them with a fucked up sense of self worth or worse. Which then a club where lots of sexy young stars died, makes a little more sense when paired with some of the other people/situations mentioned. A dude who was in the military, got spit out and now only works shit minimum wage jobs. Then Baby Killing Cadillac could be either to the war machine he was part of or simply to someone who killed a baby with a Cadillac, leading them to a life full of guilt induced drug addiction.
Then Kokopelli part could also be referencing military as there are many US bases in Germany, in fact there was and possibly still is one in Keurzberg which has become quite a hipster neighborhood since the end of the cold war.
Then the Yellow Flashlight part is in reference to a guy who left bombs hidden in Yellow Flashlights that would explode when picked up. Which is sometimes something that people who think the whole world has screwed them does.
The civil war, and trying not to hate part may be saying that he's conflicted, but then realizes that bitterness, resentment towards the world won't help when the problem is inside and it's caused equally by the person who perceives them self a victim as the world that in some ways did wrong them.
Though I am possibly reading way too far into this.
@subcomandante marcos lol it's fine, I get what you are saying and didn't really mean it come of that way. Anyway I wasn't saying it was about the bomber or a bomber. I was saying someone who thinks like the song describes might think of doing something similar to the bomber. Sean taking a personal touch from his home state. . Viperroom a club where young stars die could be in reference to the Egyptian tomb where kings were laid to rest. Again probably reading to far into it. Do you care to share your interpretation of the lyrics ?
somebody’s gotta do it!
i know my place
What’s the first chord he switches to after the F in the very beginning?
at 0:27? It's a Bb, I think it might be a Bb5 but my ear isn't good enough to tell and I can't see which frets he's specifically playing
Edd Edmonds it’s good my dude, I found it. I looked it up put don’t remember the name for it, essentially it’s a power chord with those two bottom notes moved down a string, or I suppose up a string technically if we are talking about actual frequency
@@nostopit179 I think you're describing a Bb5. The chord you'd play in tablature form is:
E----
B----
G-3-
D-3-
A-1-
E----
Does anyone know where to find the chords to play this?

Right there on his hands... Dalton Brady
I love hiiiiiiimmmmmmmmm🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Iss he usingg a pic???? x))
johnny Hobo nope
Sean never uses a pick
He's so cute. :)
when are they releasing more? like album wise.
I've heard rumors that they're doing a stripped-down acoustic album in the vein of Only God Can Judge Me, but I'm not sure if it's true and I'm not sure when.
Sean (without ben) is releasing a tiny, digital only album of him covering skate punk songs in to raise money for SkateAfterSchool (a nonprofit group creating after school skating programs in Arizona), but after that it's anyone's guess. They usually tend to release an album every 2 or so years, so we've probably got a bit, unless they record another split soon.
What kind of glasses does sean have???
Lobos that you?

Duuuuuuude niiiiiiice
i wanna see them live so bad but their concerts are 18+ and i'm only 15 ha
Alex Alex sneak in budd, I promise it's worth it
Alex Alex When you get to be 18 you'll be thankful there's not a bunch of kids around
Don't be a dick man, awesome music is for everybody. Letting kids come to shows and be around good people in the scene is how you end up with with more awesome people. Don't hate, educate!
I'm 21 and I need this music so bad right now, but I needed it way more when I was 15 (before I knew AJJ existed)
Let em in, make someone sign a consent form, fuck it if you can't get out that angst at a show you'll get it out in an inappropriate place.
Alex Alex it's definitely a great experience to see them! if you ever get a chance, take it!
epic
my cousin and his friend and I are starting a band called Ashley
End Games 🙄
I know you can see this. Dude I am so high on crystal methamphetamines right now and yet I can STILL feel connected to this... You are a perfect singer. I sing too. I like to cover Free Bird from Knife Man. Hope you don't mind! Been sharin it around Utah. Just missed your concert in Seattle! I wish I had that kind of money man. You get it. Also, one last thing, "Zelda" said your party was lame and that you, Sean, got mad at "people" for drinking their own beers. Anyway, I've known this Zelda for a few years and I know she's a vegetarian and doesn't have a "diabetic belly, gleaming fat and round" btw. Most of all, I really connect with you when you're singing. You should hear me sing! I'm the shit! The dookie! That dog shit!
Someone help me here, I don't think that part of lyric is right.... ''In the blood cult of the wayward(?) youth'' and I cant understand what he says -.- *
Mislead youth?
Mason Nygard
Yeah... I guess it sound like what he says... and make sense! Thank you dude*
