The Brian Jonestown Massacre band members get a bit out of hand during a recent concert

Quite an encore.

This made me sad.

Pathetic. Met Anton years ago. Didn't want him to be a dick, but he was.

Isn't a Brian Jonestown gig getting 'a bit out of hand' similar to there being fights in ice hockey? They are consistent at least. 

That said the film 'Dig' featuring them and the Dandy Warhols is just amazing.

They should rename themselves the Brian Jonestown Minor Scuffle.

What a bunch of twats.  The tedium as they fecked about and noodled prior to the handbag-slinging was reason enough to throw stuff at them.

I cannot imagine touring in a band like that.

I mean...seriously... when you're in your 20s...yeah great - the cash is rolling in, the novelty of touring Japan hasn't worn off, royale with cheese man in Holland..etc..etc.. you expect a few bumps in the road along the way but there's group hugs over a bottle of Jack in the dressing room afterwards right?

but what ..these guys are now in their.....mid 50s??... and dealing with this pantomine... not least before paying punters..?

Surely when you've gone the distance at that point you just want to crank out the material, get paid and have a few chuckles whilst waiting for the connecting flight to who knows where at some poorly illuminated airport at a god awful early hour as you count down the days till you can get back home stateside right?

I was thinking largely the same. 

Maybe this is the only way any of them can realistically earn a paycheck. Hard to imagine anyone else tolerating this.

Too many guitarists.

I think they may be one less by the looks of things.

A Hollywood style choreographed brawl it aint.

Colin Firth and Hugh Grant talked about preparing for the scrap they had in one of the Briget Jones films. Said they played it as two middle-class chaps who weren't into sport and didn't know the first thing about proper fisticuffs.

On mature reflection Firth and Grant's cinematic tussle looked majestically vicious and brutal compared to that pair of t*ssers above

They've seemingly always been pretty muddled folk, but that was just humiliating on several levels. Handbags indeed...

The shapely looking and pretty athletic looking woman that jumps in at 4:25 looks like a handy person to have on your side in the event of a fight.  Am I mistaken, or was that Jonathan Antoine (BGT 2012) walking offstage behind the prick in the hat at 4:12?

Didn't know they were still on the go.

I enjoyed the film Dig, but felt rather unsettled about it.
