![]() Specifically saying, “Whatever, you’re a dickhead. And then Newcombe makes a comment on rape. So flash-forward to their Sydney gig, and some dickhead continues to scream and yell at Newcombe while he’s already pissed, maybe internally grieving for his late friend Mr Bourdain, and some dude is trying to get a rise out of him trying to provoke the bear. Myself included now that I think about it. They applaud like some cheap circus monkeys. He rips into them for not keeping in time, abuses the drummer who should know what a 4/4 beat sounds like, and pauses the show to give a dig to whoever he can. I’d know, I was at their Brisbane gig last Thursday night. But now, in 2018, it seems Newcombe’s charades are more of an act for the audience rather than an actual dig at his fellow bandmates. If you haven’t seen Dig, check it out on YouTube, someone uploaded a copy. He’s got a bit of a temper, and for anyone who’s seen the BJM x Dandy Warhols doco ‘Dig’, they’d know all too much about Newcombe’s anger issues. A dickhead punter at the back of the hall kept yelling and screaming while Newcombe went about one of his infamous rants and whinges against his band and other bands associated to the BJM ‘family’. So poorly articulated that he used it more as an insult. Anton Newcombe, the lead singer of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, recently said a poorly articulated rape joke at the band’s Sydney gig the other day. Context is important in humour, whether the joke lands or not. World renowned comedian, Ricky Gervais, says that you can make a joke about anything.
