The Brian Jonestown Massacre (frequently abbreviated as "BJM" or "The BJM") are a neo-psychedelic rock band, founded in San Francisco, California, in the early 1990s, led by Anton Newcombe.
The BJM's music can mostly be described as "neo-psychedelic", since it is generally perceived to be "mind-expanding" music, and because it can be seen as being a "continuation" of music from the 1960s.
The name is an homage to Brian Jones, original lead guitarist for the Rolling Stones.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre is one of the best bands of my generation. Too bad they've never had much commercial success.

The beautiful, searing and singing tone with which Brian May has carved out a career as guitarist for Queen and a great songwriter in his own right.
Achieved by using his custom, handcrafted Red Special instrument which was made from an old Victorian oak fireplace augmented with rosewood (for the fret board) and mahogany. This is then fed into a Treble Booster (usually a modern one made by Greg Fryer) pedal, which is amplified by either the Deacy amp or three VOX AC30s with other effects such as delay and flanger added.
Many players can buy equivelant replicas of the equipment Brian May uses, but very few players can play guitar with the same style and brilliance as the man himself.

Almost any Queen song has a good example of Brian May tone, but the crowning moment of awesome has to be all his parts on Bohemian Rhapsody, especially the first solo where the guitar sounds like it is weeping and wailing.

One of the greatest bands known to ever grace god's green earth. Over their rocky history their has been over 40 members in the band, including the lead singer of Dead Meadow, Black Rebel Motorcycle Gang, and The Outcrowd. They play a mixture of shoegaze and 60s revival psychedelic rock which will blow your mind. Their lead singer and band nebulous is Anton Newcombe, a musical genius who has struggled through countless drug addictions. Recently the rockumentary DIG! was made about their history.
