Landy did save his life though, Brian has emphasized that.

I was fortunate enough that my father took our family to Beach Boys Concert. Something you treasurer the rest of your life. THANKS Dad!!!!

I'm sorry to hear that Brian lost his beloved Melinda and and upset though not really surprised that he's struggling with dementia. Sail on Sailor. Courage and Godspeed!

Brian is a genius, I love the Holland album

It’s so unfortunate how the band lost their commercial footing after the Smile debacle and never regained their popularity because they put out so much amazing and underrated music from 67-73. Worth a listen if you haven’t check that part of their discography out.

They hung on to success in Europe. The UK was where their devoted fanbase was. I remember reading an interview with Mike Love where he said if it hadn’t been for their success in Europe and the UK, they would more than likely have called it a day.

David Maks deserves a lot more credit than he gets.

You don’t have to like some of it bc of personal preferences but to say it is in places forgettable puts you on the level of professional critics. When the Beatles heard the innovative nature of it, they went about making Sgt. Pepper to one up it. So go ahead and say it is forgettable because you know more than Rolling Stone and the Beatles.

@@1957es Lol I don’t know that anyone takes Rolling Stone seriously, they only go with whatever opinions are popular at the time. I think Pet Sound is a good record, but not a ”masterpiece”. It was innovative with a cohesive theme for the entire album, which is probably what inspired the Beatles. But the song quality is very uneven. Some of the tracks, like ”Don’t Speak…” and ”God Only Knows” are masterful, others not that much. Do you really consider ”That’s not me” or ”I’m waiting for the day” masterpieces?

it was actually the surfing that killed him. Dennis was the only surfer, died in the water.

One of the greatest concerts I ever saw was the Beach Boys in Toronto in 1972 at Massey Hall. Years later we saw Brian Wilson and his band on tour. The music always sounded so easy and carefree but I've come to understand the genius behind all their songs. Wow, we're lucky.

Well, they weren’t. The Beach Boys have a few great songs and several good songs. But their albums are also littered with mediocre fillers and pointless covers. The Beatles was 100% high quality throughout their career. The Beatles were also incredibly inventive. ”Smile” and a few tracks from ”Pet Sounds” are the only instances where BB could compete.

I agree 100% I loved the Beach Boys, especially Brian's voice. The Lonely Sea is my favorite song but they had so many great songs. I saw them in concert about 1967 & Brian was no longer touring & Bruce Johnson was filling in. I must admit I was disappointed.

As a former California beach nut my own self, I can appreciate how life for anyone who has a magic life can have its' tramas that can blur the paradise vibration. We all have our mountains to climb and our waves to catch. Most of BBs never board surfed and neither did I. But the beauty of the waves always trumped everything else in the end. Beach Boys Music was like the majestic waves in that way. We could always ride above, even without surf boards or even the ocean for that matter 🤗 God Bless the Beach Boys. My fantasy body surfing buddies. From Redondo.

Amazing Video! plus, new style is awesome!

Sharon wasnt having a party,it was hot,they were trying to keep cool.

One disclaimer I often hear is people use the term party' when describing the people in the tate house , during the night of the murders, I don't think with what was investigated during the research that led up to the killings, voytek was asleep on the couch in the living room, abaigail was lying in bed in her room, reading a book, Jay was in Sharon's room, who was 8 month pregnant, and they were simply talking , when Susan came in, and told them something was happening downstairs , and to hurry down, Steve McQueen, had joined them earlier at a restaurant, so broke off from them, after he met a woman and left, many speculate if he,d had been there, and was carrying a loaded pistol, it could have been a different outcome, he was also a martial arts expert, but that of course is hindsight.

I wanna see that Brian Wilson / Wayne Coyne interview so bad.

Today hailed as unique geniuses of musical 1960s distinctive style, there was an army of these minstrels twenty years post the 1940s world war.

From the abusive dynamics within the band's family to the eerie connection with Charles Manson, it's a stark reminder that success often comes with a hefty price tag.

They've been a band for 60 years and you're going to do a 12-minute deep dive?

The Beach Boys were , are & always will be *THE* greatest rock band in history. Next being the Ramones. & F the rNr hall/fame for the past 35; years of Not inducting Jan&Dean. God bless Brian Wilson. 🇺🇲🎼
