Pictured (L to R), Pete Holmes, Jaime St. James, Pat- rick Young, Jef “Woop” Warner and Tommy Thayer. The band’s fi rst release on a Metal Blade compilation included another newcomer named Metallica. David Geffen signed Black ‘N Blue to his label in ‘84 and they recorded four albums, the last two produced by KISS’ Gene Simmons. Tommy Thayer joined the KISS family at the sounding board and as a musical contributor. Over the years he co-wrote songs and produced CD and DVD projects for the band including the title montage for New Line Cinema’s “Detroit Rock City”. Last year he assumed guitarist Ace Frehley’s Spaceman persona and replaced him completely this year.

  • Dig! Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com Dig! Discussion Guide Director: Ondi Timoner Year: 2004 Time: 107 min You might know this director from: Cool It (2010) We Live In Public (2009) Join Us (2007) FILM SUMMARY In 1995, filmmaker Ondi Timoner set out to film 10 bands on the verge of being signed by major record labels in order to analyze the relationship between art and commerce. Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre was included in that mosh-pit of musicians. He also suggested his friends, The Dandy Warhols, and the rest became music history. DIG! follows the bands over the course of 7 years as they traverse the turbulent music industry. Courtney Taylor- Taylor and his band, The Dandy Warhols, are filmed as they record albums, sign a major label deal with Capitol Records, make extravagant music videos, travel the wide world, and party with the hip and famous. Anton Newcombe and his band, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, are also filmed as they record albums, reject labels and listeners, and become more known for their raucous infighting and drug abuse than for their music. Pure rock ‘n’ roll viewing, the film is a well-rounded examination of a particular time in popular culture. The choices of modern-day musicians play out over the course of time. Hell-bent to create uncensored music untouched by the corporate machine, Newcombe demonstrates the hard-toiled consequences of his decisions. Taylor-Taylor and band members, on the other hand, rise from strength to strength and luxury to luxury. DIG! proves that like oil and water, money and music just do not mix for some musicians.
