"Also the sheer love of making music. Har-money" wonderful Freudian slip by Mike Love, haha, and that instant of bemused reaction on the part of Brian before he reiterates Mike's point: "harmony, yeah... Forty years of harmony" Class.
@markcruiser64 Seriously! Knowing the history of all the players this vid makes me very uneasy. You know Mike thinks he's the shit,you know Al hates Mike,you know Brian is terrified of everybody and Melinda hates all of them. As far as David goes,he's just glad to be included.
@Chrisdrumz LOL it really makes no sense to me the issues between Al and Mike. They both are very positive people and love the Beach Boys music. I think things are great now but it's just bizarre to me. Yes Brian is definitely controlled by the people around him. Especially Jeff Foskett.
Mike Love, the Devil, is in full phoney , make some money, mode. The world will never forgive him for what cruelty he inflicted on Brian, stealing his credit and money.
NOPE!!!! I see two people here that might possibly share a brain since they can't see what's done is done. And don't stay up to date on Beach Boys news!!!
@75DrummerBoy stay up to date!!...its more about history mate ..just read anyththing brian has said or written about this prick especially in his auto/bio from the 90's ..have a look on utube at his appalling effort at the RRHOF speech,,the guys is a 100% fully certified wanker ..he lucked in by having brian as a cousin who has been his meal ticket all his life .fuck knows how the Beatles put up with him in India,,he must have been running low on undeserved royalty cheques...hence this stunt..,
Oh the world will never forgive him and Mike Love is the devil. Is that so? What happen was years ago. Everything is ok now. They are talking about a 50th anniversary reunion and a brand new Beach Boys album with new songs written by Brian and Mike. And I believe this world you talk about has forgiven him. This is the Beach Boys just listen to the music and "SMILE". I'm glad Mike and Bruce are still keeping the music and the name alive today!!!!!
On board for the 2011 "SMiLE" release...Brian, Al, Bruce, and Mike. Yes it's true! The news is spreading like wildfire. The original version of "SMiLE" will be released later this year (late summer they're saying) in 2-CD / digital download / vinyl / 4-CD limited ed. box set format. Tell everyone ya know!!!!
@BlowThemAllAway An amazing group those Beach Boys.. An awful lot Brian's been through, still looked pretty dang good, considering... sad road they've all traveled together, but still they shine bright to me. Ahh, the memories.. My favorite I think is prrobably "I Get Around", but none of the rest are too far behind~ Love them all!
the things that brian said in this video, like it was good, it felt good to be together again at my house, and his acknowledgement that the boys would play together again, did he mean all that? cause just a year or so later he dismissed the idea of working with mike love and a beach boys reunion ever again, and says that to this day.
@relimes When this was made he was just trying to be optimistic I think. Kind of like when you meet someone and say "I'll see you around" and never get back with them. But he WILL be with The Beach Boys in 2012 for a 50th Anniversary tour. Along with Al as well.
@markcruiser64 A tour in 2012 i have heard nothing about, where did you hear that from? Cause i cant find any article on the internet that mentions anything about it.
@M3town3 Murray was not involved in pet Sounds. by that time he had been fired by Brian and not a presence in the studio. I am not sure where the concept idea for the promo film came from.
@markcruiser64 Wasn't involved in pet sounds? he shoed up drunk at the recrding session of it without permission and sped up Caroline, No and God only knows what else he did. Don't you know anything?
The most Awesome group ever , ever; their Album Pet Sounds was constantly played on my HiFi growing up, and it is still The Best Album In the History of Music.Brian is a musical Genus and no one can touch him. I love you Beach Boys.
@coolsweetgroovy Melinda is there because Brian wants and needs support from his loved ones. Brian has trouble standing up to Mike, but with Melinda there....Mike is a little on guard. Mike has been known to spout off what ever he feels at times and it can be very hurtful. Melinda is just the person to defend Brian and put Mike in his place. ;)
@Okiemom50 You know Brian was the one who should be fucked up mentally because of the drugs but here I think it's proven to be the opposite. Brian outshines even Mike in this interview! and it doesn't come from Melinda, it's coming from his actual well being. I think we have to thank Dr. Eugene Landy (Brian's main psychiatrist in the 80's) for this.
@M3town3 Your right about thanking DR Eugene Landy.He got Brian back on his feet.But it seems like Melinda wants to take the credit. She knows exactly what shes doing.SHAME ON YOU MELINDA
@Okiemom50 Melinda the waxface golddigger is ALWAYS right up Brians ass.Probably because shes afraid he might leave her and then she wont be able to drain out his bank accounts.I think Brian can do ok for him self these days when it comes to Mike.He dont need anyone,esp.that pig Melinda who only went after Brian because who he is.Then she came up with a better idea.To adopt a bunch of kids to keep brian away from his blood children.Remember Brian blood is Blood.
Brian is looking around like Please tell me John Stamos isn't here nice to see him and Mike sharing a laugh i'm hoping a Beach boys reunion will happen
I wouldn't mind being sandwiched between all of them I love the Beach Boys don't care about what people say about Mike Love they all are still all kinds of handsome RIP Dennis and Carl
@brainslow i was thinking the same thing about Brian.He always seems zoned out.Seem hes suffering from auditory hallucinations and hes on some heavy meds.But he admits even withthe meds he still hears voices.I got to give him his props cause hes still able to work.I guess when he is in his own surroundings he can cope with it.Peace Desiree
Mike Love has thrown so much crap towards Brian & Al esp Brian- that he doesn't really deserve to make any more money by touring with them again. Sorry folks but it's true
Can't we just put what Mike did aside and be grateful that the music is till alive? The lawsuits with Brian and Al no longer matter. I'd rather see Mike and Bruce still touring under the Beach Boys name than the music not being performed anymore. Saw them in concert a couple years ago and it was a night to remember I loved every moment they rocked!
Brian, Mike, & Al would be a valid Beach Boys reunion...of course we miss Carl and even Dennis but you still have 3 strong Beach Boy singers...c'mon guys, do it!
@Quadrider50 Murray had a lot of arrogance. It was from his generation. Though it made Brian withdraw into himself and be introspective of the world. I can relate. I write introspective.
Get David marks back with the group! Funny how Murry Wilson fired him, & in reality David Marks owned 1/5th of The Beach Boys. Murry Wilson legally worked for David! (David did say he quit, & Murry ackknowledged that, & fired him). Brian would eventually fire Murry (his dad)!!! David Marks taught Carl some great lead guitar riffs, & was actually better on lead than Carl. Murry wanted Carl to play lead.
@Dodo251 Now Now. We can only see things from the outside looking in. Remember they are family. And there is always more to a story than meets the eye.
So much for a Beach Boys reunion in 2011, despite Mike Love's opinion one a reunion earlier this year, Brian Wilson says NOT HAPPENING after the most recent stint Mike pulled on Brian by suing him in 2005, Brian says they just don't get along and will not play with him anymore. I know it puts a lump in my throat too.
Thta was such bullshit what happened when Al was ousted from the group by Mike. It s hould have been the other way around Al should have ousted Mike from the group!
NOticed how Mike Love purposly ignored the question "what are the chances of you playing live together again" while brian said yeah theres a chance, like Mike was gonna say Ha you can forget that!, and Al is like "who knows" whenver Mike stops being a dickhead and lets me back in the band, but replaced it with "its up to this guy here". Kinda puts alump in my throat.
They may never do so- but one last time together - now that Brian really *is* back musically and emotionally, that would truly be magical-Dennis and Carl are gone, but maybe with Carls son in his place. The line up would be Brian, Bruce, Mike, Al, Joshua (Carls son), with some of Als and Brians band doing the backing. Either live, or in session, or both.
It *would sell* definitely.
Just one last hurrah- to mark the end of an era- almost as if fate itself decrees it.
Mike Love isn't the BB sound to me. i've always been partial to brian's ballads and the Today-Pet Sounds era. even though i'm not a fan of Mike Love, it'd be great if they could all play together once.
Mike Love is such a jackass! He would be a freaking shoe salesman without Brian. He says that the hatchets are in his back....huh dude you toook the lawsuits out on him. What a jerk!
Reunion, well sort of, Carl and Dennis are gone and Mike (At the time) was suing Al .. I don't think they'll be getting back together anytime soon. It's nice that we still have the old records if we want to relive the past. This music was part of the soundtrack of my life. Thanks BB's
I love how at 1:46 Brian says "the radio is playing Good Vibrations!" and then totally checks out of the interview conversation to listen to his masterpiece. Great moment.
"come on guys lets let our cousin Mike in the band... I know he prances around like a queer and he cant really play an instrument... but he is family so i doubt if he will ever SUE THE SNOT OUT OF ME AND CLAIM HE CO-WROTE EVERY BRIAN WILSON MASTERPIECE..." Im sorry folks but no matter how "cool" a few lyrics you spurted out are... that does NOT equal SONGWRITING 50% of Brian Wilsons master compositions. ok rant off FLAME ON!
I saw The Beach Boys without Carl and Dennis was zoned out ('82) and they were Beach Boys in concert. David likes the bottle, Brian hates Mike and Al wants munny but realizes he can't get gigs. Beach Boy mess. Imagine doing "Smile" as a solo CD but months of '66-'67 tapes still exist for a Beach Boys version and don't get touched.
I'd love to see the boys reunite. But let's be realistic: They haven't made any new ablums in more than ten years, Brian and Al seem to be happy on their own, Mike still has issues with Brian and Al and visa versa, and like so many other Beach Boys fans, I say that The Beach Boys can never be THE BEACH BOYS without Carl and Dennis
Just great to see everyone together - a reunion of Brian Mike Al Bruce - and even David Marks - is the holy grail of fantasy band reunions for me......
The Beach Boys, as a music group are a shadow of their former selves. They are nothing more then a nostalgia act now. Brian Wilson is going some amazing things as a solo artist and I was glad to see him finally finish "Smiles" the way he wanted it done. In reality with Dennis and Carl both gone and Brian doing his own thing the core and heart of the group is basically gone. But you can't tell that to Mike Love.
About a year ago, I saw Al Jardine, David Marks and Al's sons in concert in a small venue in Connecticut and they were playing the Beach Boy playlist. They were pretty good. Al said he still talks to Brian, but not much to Mike Love, who probably is a di**head. Read Brian Wilson's biography and you'll find out that Murray Wilson sold the rights to all of the "good old good ones" in 1970 for $700,000 and bullied Brian into going along with it. In hindsight, an incredibly stupid deal.
Depends on what you mean by "just fine." I consider the last ten years of their career a creative embarassment, but they did make some money. And Dennis was a bit of a nut job at the end there, I'll agree. But I don't know, your argument is just fatalist.
Al: "It's up to this guy here" points at Mike. That's amusing. Those two despise each other, and it was obvious they were trying hard not to sneer at each other. Mike accused Al of being "mentally deranged." So many moments where Brian looks unhappy: when Mike says "the hatchets are here" and points to his back, Brian looks hurts. Naturally, Mike doesn't notice.
I agree with originalfunkyfry that Brian has had a lot of other issues, emotionally/psychologically besides just drugs. I'm sure the acid he took didnt help though, some people are just too fragile for it... But anyway, cool video! Great to see these dudes together. Thanks a lot!
Unfortunately THIS is a PR stunt. NOT the guys choosing to be around each other. Note the rigid movements and expressions on their faces. In light of the legal issues being dropped recently, IF ( BIG IF) they do get back together, it MUST be on THEIR choosing. Not like this.
I meant more in the sense that without his brothers presence, there is absolutely no incentive for Brian to join the group. He's already toured with Al, doesn't get along with Mike, and as for Bruce...no comment. They have nothing to offer him but nostalgia.
Denny if you remember, lived in the "moment" so I doubt he would have. Musically he also had the "Wilson gift". Vocally, he was challenged though. I think his voice last sounded good in the early 1970's. Unfortunately "chemical influences" ruined what he had vocally.
Hey MKent, that's because Mike Love treats the brilliant Brian Wilson as though he's embarrassed to be around him. Just look at the way he furrows his brow when Brian wants to continue talking about the harmonies. It should be the opposite: Brain should be embarrassed to be with Love. But Brian Wilson is beyond that sort of behavior. He's a beautiful spirit.
I don't think so. He looked a lot more fit and spry than Love did in this clip. The whole thing about Wilson and drugs is a sham. Lots of people do tons of drugs and they don't "drop out" of society. Wilson obviously had plenty of other issues but in the 1970s/80s "drug scare" is a good excuse.
I have a anxiety disorder that causes me to behave badly in stressful situations. Brian had total pressure for 5 years. I am amazed he handled it for so long. Breaking down crying and anger outbursts are huge indications of an anxiety disorder.
the pressure on him MUST have been unbearable... before AND after his breakdown. I have Post traumatic stress disorder and its funny how (most)people never look at a person the same after they snap. it could happen to ANYBODY. its amazing that Brian snapped out of it and allows himself to perform and be in the limelite again... im sure he has faced some really awful personal demons. anyone who doesnt LOVE brian wilson just hasnt listened enough.
The three (originals) should definitely get together, if Mike can put of being a jerk long enough. It would be so great, but the Beach will never really be the same without Dennis and Carl:(
Yes, I agree. Carl's voice was always unmistakeble. Dennis' playful,adventurous spirit gave the group great contrast. I am VERY thankful to have had the opportunity to have my picture with both.
Being a huge fan of both the BBs and BW, I have to believe, unfortunately, that their only reunions will take place in offices. Now that Brian is a major solo act and front-man himself, would he ever perform again with the BBs? Doubtful. In this clip it seems like Mike just had major dental work and is still on novacaine (might he have had a stroke or something?). Also the clip disses Bruce and Dave -- Al had to fight to get a word in.
If they could just realize what they have in front of them and do a final tour with the remaining members it would be a miracle. I would sell my soul to see that performance. Brian, Mike, Al, Bruce, David, and Stamos of course.
Saw Brian and Al in concert this past January in Oakland -- they were amazing! After each song Brian would always (jut about) say, "Thank you very much!" It was awesome to see the both of them on stage together:-D
I agree; I was at the same show at the Paramount in Oakland. When Al came out and sang "And Then I Kissed Her" it was like stepping into a time machine. Wonderful.
I thought that Brian like most others couldnt stand Mike Love. Brian was always too nice and now Mike is ready for yet another round on his account... Anyway I love the Beach Boys including Mike ;-)
"Also the sheer love of making music. Har-money" wonderful Freudian slip by Mike Love, haha, and that instant of bemused reaction on the part of Brian before he reiterates Mike's point: "harmony, yeah... Forty years of harmony" Class.

Well, no doubt about it, Al has a better voice. He still sounds like Al from 1965. ;-)

NOticed how Mike Love purposly ignored the question "what are the chances of you playing live together again" while brian said yeah theres a chance, like Mike was gonna say Ha you can forget that!, and Al is like "who knows" whenver Mike stops being a dickhead and lets me back in the band, but replaced it with "its up to this guy here". Kinda puts alump in my throat.

They may never do so- but one last time together - now that Brian really *is* back musically and emotionally, that would truly be magical-Dennis and Carl are gone, but maybe with Carls son in his place. The line up would be Brian, Bruce, Mike, Al, Joshua (Carls son), with some of Als and Brians band doing the backing. Either live, or in session, or both.
It *would sell* definitely.
Just one last hurrah- to mark the end of an era- almost as if fate itself decrees it.

Im sorry folks but no matter how "cool" a few lyrics you spurted out are... that does NOT equal SONGWRITING 50% of Brian Wilsons master compositions. ok rant off FLAME ON!

I'll see Brian the 29th again. He IS the Beach Boys as far as I'm concerned. Seeing him on stage live is still a traet.
soulsurfer56 3 years ago 2
I saw The Beach Boys without Carl and Dennis was zoned out ('82) and they were Beach Boys in concert. David likes the bottle, Brian hates Mike and Al wants munny but realizes he can't get gigs. Beach Boy mess. Imagine doing "Smile" as a solo CD but months of '66-'67 tapes still exist for a Beach Boys version and don't get touched.
Knugabug 3 years ago
I'd love to see the boys reunite. But let's be realistic: They haven't made any new ablums in more than ten years, Brian and Al seem to be happy on their own, Mike still has issues with Brian and Al and visa versa, and like so many other Beach Boys fans, I say that The Beach Boys can never be THE BEACH BOYS without Carl and Dennis

The Beach Boys, as a music group are a shadow of their former selves. They are nothing more then a nostalgia act now. Brian Wilson is going some amazing things as a solo artist and I was glad to see him finally finish "Smiles" the way he wanted it done. In reality with Dennis and Carl both gone and Brian doing his own thing the core and heart of the group is basically gone. But you can't tell that to Mike Love.
fabfeet1969 3 years ago 3
About a year ago, I saw Al Jardine, David Marks and Al's sons in concert in a small venue in Connecticut and they were playing the Beach Boy playlist. They were pretty good. Al said he still talks to Brian, but not much to Mike Love, who probably is a di**head. Read Brian Wilson's biography and you'll find out that Murray Wilson sold the rights to all of the "good old good ones" in 1970 for $700,000 and bullied Brian into going along with it. In hindsight, an incredibly stupid deal.
bigpurf 2 years ago
Depends on what you mean by "just fine." I consider the last ten years of their career a creative embarassment, but they did make some money. And Dennis was a bit of a nut job at the end there, I'll agree. But I don't know, your argument is just fatalist.
sonicdeath10 3 years ago
Obviously this comment isn't from a fan. If it were, they'd know that Denny was the actual IMAGE personifying The Beach Boys.
markcruiser64 3 years ago
Al: "It's up to this guy here" points at Mike. That's amusing. Those two despise each other, and it was obvious they were trying hard not to sneer at each other. Mike accused Al of being "mentally deranged." So many moments where Brian looks unhappy: when Mike says "the hatchets are here" and points to his back, Brian looks hurts. Naturally, Mike doesn't notice.
sonicdeath10 3 years ago
I know. As I have mentioned on the boards. This was a PR stunt. NOT something The Beach Boys themselves arranged.
markcruiser64 3 years ago
Brian does look hurt, but nowadays he always kinda looks like that, so maybe he didn't care.
Mike is an asshole, though

None of them are replaceable. Dennis had more songwriting talent than Carl, arguably.

Unfortunately THIS is a PR stunt. NOT the guys choosing to be around each other. Note the rigid movements and expressions on their faces. In light of the legal issues being dropped recently, IF ( BIG IF) they do get back together, it MUST be on THEIR choosing. Not like this.

I meant more in the sense that without his brothers presence, there is absolutely no incentive for Brian to join the group. He's already toured with Al, doesn't get along with Mike, and as for Bruce...no comment. They have nothing to offer him but nostalgia.

gopdavey 4 years ago 4
Denny if you remember, lived in the "moment" so I doubt he would have. Musically he also had the "Wilson gift". Vocally, he was challenged though. I think his voice last sounded good in the early 1970's. Unfortunately "chemical influences" ruined what he had vocally.
markcruiser64 4 years ago
Hey MKent, that's because Mike Love treats the brilliant Brian Wilson as though he's embarrassed to be around him. Just look at the way he furrows his brow when Brian wants to continue talking about the harmonies. It should be the opposite: Brain should be embarrassed to be with Love. But Brian Wilson is beyond that sort of behavior. He's a beautiful spirit.
opted 4 years ago 5
I think that Mike, deep down, is saddened by what "chemical influences" have done to Brian.Landy didn't help the matter. In later treatment years.
markcruiser64 4 years ago 2
I don't think so. He looked a lot more fit and spry than Love did in this clip. The whole thing about Wilson and drugs is a sham. Lots of people do tons of drugs and they don't "drop out" of society. Wilson obviously had plenty of other issues but in the 1970s/80s "drug scare" is a good excuse.

I have a anxiety disorder that causes me to behave badly in stressful situations. Brian had total pressure for 5 years. I am amazed he handled it for so long. Breaking down crying and anger outbursts are huge indications of an anxiety disorder.

the pressure on him MUST have been unbearable... before AND after his breakdown.

Being a huge fan of both the BBs and BW, I have to believe, unfortunately, that their only reunions will take place in offices. Now that Brian is a major solo act and front-man himself, would he ever perform again with the BBs? Doubtful. In this clip it seems like Mike just had major dental work and is still on novacaine (might he have had a stroke or something?). Also the clip disses Bruce and Dave -- Al had to fight to get a word in.

If they could just realize what they have in front of them and do a final tour with the remaining members it would be a miracle. I would sell my soul to see that performance. Brian, Mike, Al, Bruce, David, and Stamos of course.
