I have seen them 5 times, going back to about 1995 or 96. First two times were amazing, 2nd two times were a total trainwreck, last time was good, but not like the early days.
They are totally derivative musically, but they pull it off well enough and have such a commitment to what they do that I don't care.
Favorite albums:
Methedrone (this one is pretty heady/showgazery, and doesn't really sound so much like the other stuff, but I still love it)
Their Satanic Majesty's Second Request
Take It From The Man
Give It Back
The name is both a reference to Brain Jones and to Jim Jones, the Christian cult leader who got 900+ people to commit mass suicide in Guyana when things went sour for them.
