He's a very kind, intelligent, and thoughtful person. I did an interview with him when he was still a teenager and I asked him about the song, Doctor Oh Doctor. He delivered a very deep, lengthy, thought provoking analogy on the plastic surgery industry and it's influence on Western culture
@@maxstraight8240 God damnit...how did I not know about this? I missed it. This is my favorite band of all time. I've seen them 8 times live, including their last tour date from the Young Machetes tour. I would have killed to see them again.
It's funny what he said about Crimes being their least best received album because that's always been my favorite album of theirs. And then Burn Piano Island Burn is second best in my opinion.
You can become entranced. You can also experience a catharsis of the greatest kind. Many individuals, when they "cross over" and the music takes over and guides them, they will appear quite mad or unstable., or perhaps in the grips of a chemical psychosis. That means you're getting a good show usually. The human brain is capable of producing all sorts of drugs on it's own without the use of outside substances. The rush I have felt after a performance has often sent me reeling for hours after.
He seems like a totally normal person. He does not seem like he is on coke. He started out in a grimy punk band, and then ten years later he is in the same grimy punk band touring through Latin America in a bus. He seems pretty excited. It can be hard to distinguish if that freaky ass weirdo on stage is a drug addled mad genius, but i can assure you that 9 times out of 10 they are not, they are usually totally normal people who are most likely acting.
It's also quite apparent that you've probably never played in a band. And if you have, surely not a high energy group of this caliber. Well have played in bands whose energy levels rivaled The Blood Brothers. In order to achieve this very difficult, very powerful type of sound, you have to give yourself completely to the music. The adrenalin levels in your system can go through the roof to them point where you might experience nausea, vomiting, hyperventilation, or other adverse affects.
Okay okay... PLEASE don't yell at me, but are they lip sinking in the shots of the show? Don't get me wrong I'm a huge Blood Brothers fan, so much so that i know that their shows usually don't sound much like their recorded stuff... but this sounded literally identical to the song on the album. Again, love these guys, died a little on the inside when they broke up... Just curious.
Granted this is years later, but I would guess something is fucked with the audio on this. They never did lip syncing, and I saw them far too many times to count.
I've met with Johnny bunches of times through the years and while I can say that he was sort of a Wino in those days(and like you said who gives a fuck?), he definitely is against hard drugs.
Not super far apart I guess. But the style and lyrics are pretty different. Blood Brothers is really loud, has abstract lyrics, makes use of dissonance a lot more, where AM! is more southern punkish, and has pretty straight forwards lyrics.
This interview had to have been right before his wife became pregnant. Honestly, I don’t think they ever got into anything harder than smoking a bowl, and drinking occasionally. Granted this is fucking 15 years later, but they never seemed to be high during shows. I watched Johnny almost attack a guy for the F slur, and Jordan almost did the same for his sister Hannah (and 2 other members of Shoplifting), but I’m fairly certain they were pretty mundane in their daily lives. Nice guys, just doing their thing. Hell, Jordan’s wife Zoë is VP of Noise for Now, and pushing for abortion rights. They were always doing local charity shows too. Never really the coked up type, and I’ve known cokeheads.
Bro, epic fail. Can you not tell that it IS the exact same song, and that they're not lip sinking but the track from the album is just set over the live video?
bc he's sniffling and people dont realize how band members are usually not in the best health during tours(lack of sleep, hardcore performances, shitty nutrition, not enough sunlight)
Word everything's a drug and we're just chemical bodies interacting with our environment but the rush you get from really letting loose on stage is unrivaled.
yeah, saddens me that they broke up. but you know, that way they'll never get around to making shitty music like most bands get around to doing eventually. so it may be a good thing.
Just because someone sniffs does not mean they're doing coke. That's ridiculous. He might even have a cold or something. His persona is jumpy naturally, he's a hyper person. I hate that people have to be so jidgemental and jump to some idiotic conclusion.
lol, i wasnt ganna comment about this but i guess im not the only one thinking it. he seems like hes on drugs. lol. he cant sit still and hes sniffing and messing with his nose haha. oh well still love the blood brothers.
I'm a bartender, I get paid to read people, cut people off, ect. Tell yourself whatever you want kiddo but it's all over his face. Hate to rain on your little party but the world is not all sunshine and rainbows. Dude is on stimulants.
@fivemaroongirl2 he's obviously on coke... dude, pay attention... just watch him, stare at him. but, if he does it i don't give a fuck. johnny's one of the greatest screamer at vocals that has ever sound! BLOOD BROTHERS' LOVE!

Still listen to this day.
Must be fucking nice to find a group of people who want to play the same strange music you do, must be fucking nice.
agree, shame it ended
@@smokepepsiapparently they’re back for a bit
@@lofi_bonsaiSo stoked for the tour!
@@connortoth4362tour?
Man. One of the greatest and most unrecognised bands of all time.
RIP, Blood Brothers. You're sorely missed in the music-loving world.
They're back!
@@maxstraight8240 God damnit...how did I not know about this? I missed it. This is my favorite band of all time. I've seen them 8 times live, including their last tour date from the Young Machetes tour. I would have killed to see them again.
forever love this band. teen me & old me
I only found out about this band a year ago, wish I coulda seen them live.
I am 17, and I find this band fucking amazing!
hows it feel to be fuckin 30 now lol
(i ask as a 31 year old)
I miss the blood Brothers
They're back!
i like how his normal voice is waaaaaaay deeper than his singing voice;P
that’s sexist bro
they are so fuking awesome it hurts me
this is the greatest band on the face of the fucking earth.
i hope there's a reunion show someday.
There is
2024 REUNION TOUR NOT A DRILL
Just came back from the reunion show 14 years later
It's funny what he said about Crimes being their least best received album because that's always been my favorite album of theirs. And then Burn Piano Island Burn is second best in my opinion.
God,I miss them.
God damn, the blood brothers are great!
he is so freaken cute :]
Johnny is so cool *_*

he's not on coke, they're sober and have been for years.
They seriously achieved the goal of being different.
i think you've got them all. loveee neon blonde and almost cried when i found out blood brothers broke up. jaguar love seems promising.
Did they do this interview inside a washing machine?
His voice is so normal when he talks!
Past Lives is bomb. You all need to see them.
i love his hair

@JoyDivisionHater What do they have to do with screamo? They're post-hardcore...

I know the kid and I think it's highly unlikely that he was doing cocaine. The guy is one of the few class acts you could ever meet in this game.
Even if so, whatever he's a good person still
Coke is great. Idk what yall talking about Music And Drugs Thats the life
@@dkmly omg. I commented this 12 years ago and it's still true XD
Hahaha fuckin legend @@CancerChris18
Young machette on vinyl
He's no candynose. He's high on music.
He doesn't even look coked up here. Where are you silly kids getting this idea?
Yeah, Past Lives consists of Mark, Morgan and Jordan from The Blood Brothers plus another guy named Devin.
❤❤❤🎹🎹

blood brothers should get back together
but keep jaguar love alive =D
Rolling Stone is such a conservative music magazine
I've met with Johnny bunches of times through the years and while I can say that he was sort of a Wino in those days(and like you said who gives a fuck?), he definitely is against hard drugs.
Just enjoy the damn interview
thats pretty dope.
seems way more intelligent than i would have thought, nice
cutie!!!!
because he is an original individual he is gay?
because he sniffs a couple times, he is on coke?
you guys are awesome.
how does he sing like that? damn
Ps: who cares if he is on drugs, or not. Hes not Ian Makaye...
Fucks sake
coke or not, he's the fucking coolest dude i know
Not super far apart I guess.

Blood Brothers is really loud, has abstract lyrics, makes use of dissonance a lot more, where AM! is more southern punkish, and has pretty straight forwards lyrics.

Yeah, and Aesop Rock's huge eyes, tweaky walk, and constant use of hand gestures don't mean that he's on speed! Right? Oh, wait....
....durrrrrr....
Bro, epic fail. Can you not tell that it IS the exact same song, and that they're not lip sinking but the track from the album is just set over the live video?
4:29
Against Me! namedrop, ahaha. I think its cool he knows of a band that seems so far apart musically.
hahahaha a pupil expert!! Did you use your pupilometer? Book em Dan-o.
why is everyone defending him regarding being on coke in the comments?
bc he's sniffling and people dont realize how band members are usually not in the best health during tours(lack of sleep, hardcore performances, shitty nutrition, not enough sunlight)
Word everything's a drug and we're just chemical bodies interacting with our environment but the rush you get from really letting loose on stage is unrivaled.
No, well maybe, but he is married, so if he is he's got a good cover, but he's amazing regardless.
yeah, saddens me that they broke up. but you know, that way they'll never get around to making shitty music like most bands get around to doing eventually. so it may be a good thing.
dude sincewhen doesthat matter when it comes to drugs
I want wat he's having
lmao thats extremley true
Why the fuck did these guys break up, seriously.
Johnny Whitney, I totally would.
@cloudig ...I like carrots...in a good way, though.
i could go on wiki and say he has an 11th toe.... but no hes not gay.
Jaguar love
i love the novelty better
November they broke up...november 8th
he's blatantly NOT on coke
to a guy...secret underground marriages.
haha. Johnny definitely isn't a coke head.
and all the sniffling. coke for sure hahahaha
Just because someone sniffs does not mean they're doing coke. That's ridiculous. He might even have a cold or something. His persona is jumpy naturally, he's a hyper person. I hate that people have to be so jidgemental and jump to some idiotic conclusion.
uh okay?
"just fucking retarded wars that we're involved in".
@fivemaroongirl2 I'm jidgemental. I am.
what the fuck is that constant noise in the background while he's talking?
lol, i wasnt ganna comment about this but i guess im not the only one thinking it. he seems like hes on drugs. lol. he cant sit still and hes sniffing and messing with his nose haha. oh well still love the blood brothers.
cocaine's a helluva drug.
the blood brothers' a helluva band
cocaine............... yes..............
wow, johnny is completely different person off stage, i expected a guy to have a non-manly voice and stuff, LOL!
he looks sooooo gay, is pretty cool really
I'm a bartender, I get paid to read people, cut people off, ect. Tell yourself whatever you want kiddo but it's all over his face. Hate to rain on your little party but the world is not all sunshine and rainbows. Dude is on stimulants.
coked out
Lol yeah. he seems super jumpy. Definately a lot of coke.
@fivemaroongirl2 he's obviously on coke... dude, pay attention... just watch him, stare at him. but, if he does it i don't give a fuck. johnny's one of the greatest screamer at vocals that has ever sound! BLOOD BROTHERS' LOVE!
i didn't know squeeky was a cokehead lol.
Also his pupils are dilated dude.
Dilated pupils. . . .
Haha, Whitney is so coked up.
do you do drugs or know people that do em? i get paid to read people, on blow. trust me.
are any members of the blood brothers gay? i hope to god its a no
i like the blood bros but you have to admit he does look very feminine/gay at times especially how he moves on stage.
is he actualy gay
defiantly on coke
I thought that pop was the worst genre. then i discovered screamo
