Brian is a Pacific Northwest original, growing up in the rural community of Carrolls between Kalama and Kelso-Longview, Washington. As a young boy, he played in a band named, "Shanna and the Country Bugs" with his father and his siblings. He worked many years in the construction industry before coming into his success with EODM.
In June 2010, it was announced in the media[2] that Brian had been diagnosed with an unspecified cancer, for which he would be undergoing chemotherapy.
A statement from O'Connor in regard to his diagnoses: "In regards to my current health situation, with the remarkable support and love from my amazing friends and family, I am receiving the best medical and moral attention one could ask for. I cannot thank everyone enough for their continued support and involvement. I am excited for my full recovery and look forward to getting back to what I love most, melting face with my bass. I'm feeling great, after all, I am half unicorn. Keep ya posted."
On August 12, 2010, Queens of The Stone Age put together a concert at the Nokia Club in Los Angeles to raise funds for O'Connor. Mark Lanegan sang four encore songs with the band.
In 2013, Brian played the character Talan Gwynek in the werewolf movie Wer.
