Interview with Anton Newcombe, God Is My Girlfriend

[@cedricm.805]

His work is immense. Not only musically but having his band being "free" from record companies is the true act of revolution that he talked about in this "DIG" documentary/ They opened a way for a lot of musician. Immense respect ! Peace

[@shawnobrien4507]

One of the greatest bands to ever walk the planet.

[@douglasbradley6547]

I agree wholeheartedly, I think they rank in the top five of all time

[@greenman5555]

Pure art

[@tron565]

Love this guy. I know that DIG presented him in a totally unfair light, almost like a cartoon character, but without that I never would have heard of Anton or his great music that has brought me so much happiness.

[@StephenAndrew777]

I'm grateful that he's still willing to make music so well.

[@GoldcoastSurfCam]

I could listen to this song on repeat, all day long.

[@kristianskhan]

lonely warrior fighting for all mankind i kneel before you

[@moozycla6]

Yeah, it's the same, exactly the fucking same. With feelings and different emotions, with soul and energy. Just because it's not mainstream doesn't mean anything. Fuck any mainstream music. *The Brian Jonestown Massacre* never sellout their fans, ever. Just because of fucking money. They're real, and that's the main reason why I'm literally in love with the band and especially with Anton.

[@annab2691]

+Moozy Mathers high five, man

[@arricammarques1955]

Create audio worlds, well said, Brother!

[@WhiteNacho]

Anton is so engaging when he's sober. What a rare treat of a video!

[@mikenorledge4110]

that's beautiful as usual A ..thanks!

[@mahenina]

i thought joel was the veteran in the bjm family, now i know it's ricky... saw them live couple of times, never met such great and gifted artists in my life. i love them.

[@AndreaSzabo7171]

Seen Ricky in Spain and he looked like Angel .😇 His hair was doing really strange and ethereal things while he was playing guitar. 😇

[@greenman5555]

You are important to many, Anton.

[@burnlastsunday]

Just on a different plane. Beyond awesome.

[@fweebrotwosday]

my favorite contemporary madman.

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

BJM GONNA SAVE ROCK N ROLL! They are such an underrated band. I adore their music!

[@mokiedokie]

@bjmarchives This is standard tuning. Watch closely at 2:12 and 2:26 - starting with the barred F chord, the progression goes: F(barred) C(open) G(open) C(open) G(open) F(barred) C(open) D(?)

[@adsim100]

Music starts at 2:00

[@bjmarchives]

@kilroysilk i only know a little about eko guitars but i think it is pre-ranger model, circa 1965.

[@andysczn]

hes got it together..brilliant..

[@arielchristopher6829]

Anton smiles

[@binnybones]

Gifted, good, and gorgeous

[@rustyskatez]

YES!

[@kurtfinkbeiner7181]

Anton is pure genius

[@VirginiaWolf88]

Great!!!!

[@DiscoDrive]

@vad64shelby3500 God is My Girlfriend on We Are the Radio EP

[@SunshineSmiles189]

I wish Dig featured more of his actual music vs the lore of BJM.

[@iplayyrunescape]

that looked very very tough to play that song solo... anton your so sick man....

[@robyale]

@vad64shelby3500 It's my EKO acoustic from the late 60s. Italian made guitar...

[@Zammo6270]

punting on a 70 eko xii as we speak...great guitars..!

[@mufflaps]

this comment really irritates me... say what you like about the music but you cant deny the fact that his heart and soul are in it. simple it may be but effective and if you think you can do better why dont you?

[@gabyvansant4533]

Anton must have thougt: well, finally some really interesting questions.... Not?!?

[@SuperWasteBasket]

@mokiedokie F C G F C Dsus2 (and on the D string, the tablature is 2-2-0-0-4-4-2-2-5-5-4-4-2-2-4)

[@vad64shelby3500]

[@bananaguntouring2372]

[@bettyholden3602]

[@kilroysilk]

Is that an EKO RANGER?

[@freddyflaps]

[@Zammo6270]

[@PAULLONDEN]

I will if it's tuned first,while you learn to use the cap key.

[@TheScrubDown]

@bjmarchives I had a bit of trouble with it at first too dude. But I think that is it standard tuning, what chords are you going by?

[@struttingbirdlofi]

That interviewer is such a cutie

[@infamystar]

@bjmarchives yeah thats an eko ranger 6 i believe...

[@jlp58mjp]

he seems alot clearer here

[@doogiedog1234]

@Benjabola Too many drugs? ... that is a face of a true artist... why "too many" hes still making music and making a living... Id say just enough

[@PAULLONDEN]

3:04...Seems Anton wasn't so sure about the specifics....oh well..why not...

[@debbonow]

Dude's crazy but he is also extremely talented,,,

[@mufflaps]

song writting badman!

[@christygio]

[@barrajunashping9436]

[@misterpopeofficial.]

[@freddyflaps]

@mahenina not ricky. matt and travis! ricky is kick ass though. i love ricky s playin realyl seals the deal!!!!!!!!! oh fuck maybe he played drums?

[@matthewevans3718]

Did he release that song ever?? I’ve heard everything of bjm and I might be drawing blank but I swear I’ve never heard this before. Hope it’s released somewhere I need to hear this more

[@bjmarchives]

On a 12” EP called we are the radio.

[@matthewevans3718]

tim.herremans do u know what the songs called too? And yeah it seems it’s not on like Spotify or anything like that. I’ll just have to get the vinyl

[@matthewevans3718]

tim.herremans never mind I realized it’s called god is my girlfriend haha

[@matthewevans3718]

tim.herremans do u know by chance if he released any more recordings of this song other than this we are the radio ep? I like the subtle lyric changes in this KZbin version a little better and wanna hear another variation or any other recording of it just in general if I can

[@AlanOfAmine09]

@bjmarchives Probably a lot of both.

[@Shunnanoi]

backdrop

[@fmdeligirl]

He looks better, not so strung out.

[@RaisedByTv1]

@bjmarchives or both........

[@joejjohnston]

I love his music but in the video he looks a little like a Harry Enfield character.

[@AndreaSzabo7171]

😊💘💘💘💞🪷🎼 🙏

[@Cracktune]

to be fair Mayer can straight play. Beth. Watch him and clapton live doing cocaine. Clapton just let him have at it.. be fair

[@bloodfeathermoon7952]

ObI

[@PAULLONDEN]

Anton and the girl sport the same hairdo,wonder if Anton's not a wig though...I'm no fuckin' note spotter,but couldn't he at least try to tune his gittar ?
