Much has been made of the fact that Newcombe is head strong and has just one vision in mind: his own. However, many of the musicians who quit his band have stayed in his orbit and continue working with him in some capacity. Newcombe was, at one point, a drummer in Hecksher's Warlocks. Campanella produces or engineers many of the records on Newcombe's record label, the Committee to Keep Music Evil. Gion is forever showing back up shaking the tambourine at BJM shows. Even the Dandy Warhols appear to have buried the hatchet with Newcombe, as he joined them onstage at Lollapalooza in July of 2005.

The name
 The Brian Jonestown Massacre Logo. Newcombe's art is heavily influenced by the postmodern techniques of pastiche and image appropriation, and this influence is readily apparent in the name, and logo, of the band. The Brian Jonestown Massacre is a mash-up of the name of original Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones, and the infamous mass cult suicide at Jonestown.

The music The first BJM album, 1995's Methodrone approximates the UK shoegazing genre, but with their second record, Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request (a retread of an old Stones album title), they began the pastiche of '60s psychedelia that has characterized most of their music. Even the incorporation of influences from world music such as Middle Eastern and Brazilian music seem to be filtered through the matrix of their '60s heroes, who include the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Donovan, the Byrds and Bob Dylan. Shoegazing is a style of alternative rock that emerged in the southern United Kingdom in the late 1980s. ...

Stylistic divergences have occurred. A country/roots rock approach was applied to the Bringing it All Back Home Again EP (another homage title--this time to Dylan), and electronic music crept into 2003's And This Is Our Music.

This is a format that Newcombe has occasionally resorted to presenting live during times of transition in the band.
