Somber Masterpiece. Anton is a rarity. Raw no nonsense talent. This is pure art. I can listen to this track over and over, it just grabs ahold of your soul and I haven't smoke yet. Anton's nusic doesn't need enhancements. Excellent work
First off...Brilliant band name...and lastly...everything about this song is beautiful and the lyrics...where are the lies?..glad i click on this to find out who these guys are and what they are putting out there for us to enjoy...thank you for this
I have been drawn to this band for a while now and I am thinking yes!!! I need more! They are brilliant. I'm 60 and the lyrics are what are inline with me and the way I think... Cracking band!!!
Totally I feel as though Anton has come full circle a truly embraced his totem animal of the cosmic electric earth earth worm who takes in all the bad vibrations in the world and turns them into beautiful positive musical vibrations!!!
@@stevelewis6341 why? It is my opinion, I’m not claiming to be a critic, But, if you look at their catalogue, one could argue they are the greatest, pure rock and roll band of all time. Never in it for the fame, or the money, they did it for the pure chaos, and love of rock and roll.
This was the first song of the set in Sydney June 2018. I am a musician and I listen to lots of music of different types. I also know immediately when I am emotionally affected by something I hear. In the room at the gig that I was at, I am pretty sure that by the end of the solo, everyone felt like they had floated off into a surreal world then landed back again, it was that profound. Look at the looks on the crowd's faces. This is why people put up with Anton being a w***er.
"maybe now as you start to sing, you wake up and remember I wrote you this song." And if that circles in her mind, nothing is owed, there is no debt, it was all free, should of had a safety net. And she melts the heart.
You feel a love Well you better love yourself Be careful now Because love is against the law Just so high you could give a fucking shit about the law It's with your blood, sweat and tears to be living at all You fight the lies Everybody tries to tell you you're dead It flashed before your eyes before anybody had said The motherfuckers never stop drilling holes in your head You want life Oh but then you die so slow Hands up drop the gun Get shot, you're dead and that's the whole of the law You close your eyes to look at the lies And then you see it all A freeze frame lasts forever but the picture is small They say that love is everywhere and that's the damned disdain Hits in your eyes And butterflies are part of everything The cloudy skies The fog in your eyes The will that lets you see A chance to fall And hear the call And grab the magic ring Don't be surprised when you wake up and tell you you're dead You'll find that hope is the same as nothing as all The motherfuckers never stop drilling holes in your head And maybe now as you're starting to sink You'll wake up and remember the words to your song Maybe now as it's starting to sink you'll wake up to discover you're singing along
I don’t know man. I feel like you wouldn’t make much money in a seven piece. Especially having to pay the tambourine player. But damn, without it I don’t I’d be the same. It’s a beautiful lineup.
I remember when Nirvana came on MTV buying guitars at like johns furniture and pawn...all kinds of crappy n cool guitars... sunburst...w buttons and knobs like a time machine 😊
@@ausgaze thank you. I've been listening to them the last couple of weeks, a suggested video of them on KEXP came up and I gave it a go and it was really really good. Song was Godless, another called Mohammed was great too. I will check out the song RIDE now, thanks again.
In the music universe, was there ever a need to have a reason for something ? It is music, not science. Why does the dog lick his balls? Because he can !
The bjm will go down as the last great rock'n'roll band that never quite seamed that great when they existed it will be some delinquent kid in some far flung country well away from there hometown of San Francisco and he will dig up the fossilized remains and mine it for all it is worth they really are the Grateful dead rather than the velvet underground this is the true essence of a cult band that continues to struggle and fight against the tide of product they are pastiche they the first really post modern band by that I mean they are aware the the music they reinterprete and acknowledge it they make a statement in doing so they say rock'n'roll is dead all its tropes and structures have been established and there is no where to go but back ,may they continue to brawl and crawl thier way across the world playing this hypnotic reminder that all things must end...and instead of pretending that is not arrived they move towards like to Ingmar Bergman like Fried like all human beings of any worth with awareness and and fragility of an eyelid...
That's how they do things...it comes with the BJM territory. It's not going to be like Miley Cyrus where everything is programmed and happens in order. It's shambolic and frustrating and sometimes boring and extremely human, and then, amazing.
@@drumprojekt3394 I was talking about the band not you. Your insecurities are flairing up over a disagreement. Relax. Watch more BJM it's like a lobotomy. O fk
I am a 70 year old woman and I have their cds in my car right along with Dylan and Dandy Warhols Lou Reed and Nick Cave. Brilliant artists❤
I keep coming back to this song in my darkest times and it just gives me so much inspiration, thank you so much Anton! Tha mutha fuckers!!!!
Me too brother

Anton keeps the vintage music alive. Just vibrations and well.
Well said. The way Anton plays his vox blows my mind.
Don't mention the Dandy Warhols
No nonsense? You don't know Anton very well. Lol
@@Handleoff1 why BJM stole all their Music from the Dandys
I took a chance clicking a thumbnail and found one hell of a heavy cool..song!
Best active rock n' roll band.
This may be the best song live I have ever heard
Seen just the one gig have you? Mate, this is torture!!
Now that you mention it..
Anton really is a musical genius..brilliant songs...always.
nonsense egoism
Awesome live version. Anton in his maturity is spot on!
First off...Brilliant band name...and lastly...everything about this song is beautiful and the lyrics...where are the lies?..glad i click on this to find out who these guys are and what they are putting out there for us to enjoy...thank you for this
Look up the documentary "Dig". A great film, imo. Doesn't do anything but enhance the magic of the band for me.
This should have like a million views...
@Dexter Ernest little creep
if it was crap and uninspiring it would get a million views.
There isn’t that many cool people out there
@@skanskar 3 million white people
Well I have probably contributed a thousand on the full concert version since this is the first track…..
I have been drawn to this band for a while now and I am thinking yes!!! I need more! They are brilliant. I'm 60 and the lyrics are what are inline with me and the way I think... Cracking band!!!
Currently touring Europe and UK. Possibly USA too?
Same here. Turn 62 in November and allways been a rocker. But this i not what i used to like. But now i love it
28.January in Hamburg, and I'll be there! ( 75 years) 😊😊😊
One of their most magical performance yet
Jeez, I'd hate to see one of their lesser shows...
@@DanHunterSportsWriter Me too,music for suicide!
Great concert, love it.
The song hadn't even been released yet and already one of their best. Anton is a genius.
Coworker just sent me this, pretty F'ing awesome song!!!
But him a beer
It’s the least you can do
joel gion is the glue holding this shit sandwich together. what a legend. god, i love this band 💖
So beautiful.
Love this song 🖤
Very Good..I haven't heard anything from this band since it was young. I love this song.
If only it went on forever !
They are like a fine wine getting better with age
Our anthem 🎉😊
Los amo, una de mis bandas favoritas.
Graaandessss!!!
Jodidamente buenos y grandesssss…
See you tonight in Modena, Italy, guys!
Totally I feel as though Anton has come full circle a truly embraced his totem animal of the cosmic electric earth earth worm who takes in all the bad vibrations in the world and turns them into beautiful positive musical vibrations!!!
An anthem for our generation
this is f****ng beautiful.
Fucking beautiful is four stars not three.
Excellent!
Tell of a good artist when they somehow capture how you feel at your best or your worst With the words you could never find
Gives me shivers both sides normally its just the right🎉
Greatest rock n roll band in history.
Any iteration
I'm glad you like them but it is absurd to think or say they are the greatest rock band in history.

One of BJM’s top ballads but it comes with the immensely likeable rough edge
Like he came into my mind to peal away the skid marks on the brain of the years and the pain. So honest and plain out right lovely.
Yeah, that's what real music does to you :)
Wow wow wow ❤
Awesome
How good is this chewwwn
You feel a love
Well you better love yourself
Be careful now
Because love is against the law
Just so high you could give a fucking shit about the law
It's with your blood, sweat and tears to be living at all
You fight the lies
Everybody tries to tell you you're dead
It flashed before your eyes before anybody had said
The motherfuckers never stop drilling holes in your head
You want life
Oh but then you die so slow
Hands up drop the gun
Get shot, you're dead and that's the whole of the law
You close your eyes to look at the lies
And then you see it all
A freeze frame lasts forever but the picture is small
They say that love is everywhere and that's the damned disdain
Hits in your eyes
And butterflies are part of everything
The cloudy skies
The fog in your eyes
The will that lets you see
A chance to fall
And hear the call
And grab the magic ring
Don't be surprised when you wake up and tell you you're dead
You'll find that hope is the same as nothing as all
The motherfuckers never stop drilling holes in your head
And maybe now as you're starting to sink
You'll wake up and remember the words to your song
Maybe now as it's starting to sink you'll wake up to discover you're singing along
Three chord ramblings of a nihilist.
I don’t know man. I feel like you wouldn’t make much money in a seven piece. Especially having to pay the tambourine player. But damn, without it I don’t I’d be the same. It’s a beautiful lineup.
The music comes first with bjm

What kind of guitar is that? Looks so cool!
It looks like a Gibson sg at first but I'm not sure I gotta see it more
It could be a boutique brand ..a mosrite or some 60s garage brand...the head stock doesn't look like it says Gibson
I remember when Nirvana came on MTV buying guitars at like johns furniture and pawn...all kinds of crappy n cool guitars... sunburst...w buttons and knobs like a time machine 😊
@@bryanfrombuffalo7685 you know what, it might be a Gretsch guitar by the looks of it 🧐
Great drums whoever that is

Good evening, ladys and germes.

bassist in the shadows holding it down
Toss up between Dandy Warhols and BJM...... Both beyond fantastic, might lean toward BJM a bit.
BJM without a doubt no contest.
@@neilwhitaker6284 RIDE by Dandys is a classic though
Damn right!!!

@@neilwhitaker6284 Mohammed goes hard too. Ride by the Dandys should be credited to SPACEMEN 3 - I WAN'T YOU RIGHT NOW
Good even Ladies & Germs,,thank u all for coughing
maybe now you'll remember I wrote you this song
I see Joel is still hanging in too. 7:03
Lyrics are off the hook. It's like a poem by TS Eliot and Charles Bukowski.

is it JD Beck?

this doesnt fuck around, proper rnr
Basic accords simple music I do not see the point to have 3 guitars and a tambourine to do this...I like it anyway good band and music !
Creo que usa tres guitarras para llenar espacios y crear un sonido atmosferico profundo pero que sea de cuerdas.

So this band killed Brian Jones? I always thought it was Mick and Keith 🤓🙃😆
I thought it was the builder who drowned him for being a twat in front of his girlfriend but yours is equally possible?. Haha.
Who are these two guys? I'm Stanton I'm Country 😁 alright do you guys know Liz 🤔 yeah known her forever 🤣
Why massacre? Most if not all drank the kool-aid. For sure they were responsible for their own choices..
2.5 minutes to start a 3 chord song? Bora Boring
That's how they do things...it comes with the BJM territory. It's not going to be like Miley Cyrus where everything is programmed and happens in order. It's shambolic and frustrating and sometimes boring and extremely human, and then, amazing.
They never had a chance with Anton leading them, for sure.
