I met Brian Wilson at a meet & greet when my son and I went to The 50th Anniversary Of Pet Sounds concert. He was such a sweet man! I only talked to him for a couple of minutes but he was smiling and very friendly. He was also happy to take a picture with those of us that were there to meet him. It truly was a special night for me and my son!! 😊❤️

People don't understand how much of a toll not releasing his album smile for years effected his mental health and pushed him towards years of self destruction on harder drugs.

it's also important to understand that bian wilson was on a lot of anti-psychotic medications which can cause a permanent mask-like expression where most of the time you sort of just have a completely neutral expression despite whatever emotions you might be feeling.

A humble genius, beautiful soul! Love this man!

1920Janice You didn’t have anything to feel ashamed of dear. The best of this Universe to you

Keep on please

Amen to that. I too have struggled with mental health and substance amd alcohol abuse for the better part of my life and I'm only 31.... Brian's music is not only genius...but also very therapeutic. He is truly one of the greatest musicians/song writers and composers of all time. Like Sean Lennon once said.. "I listen to the Beach Boys everyday because Brian's music is powerful enough to make the worst of days tolerable with his brilliant melodies and lyrics... God bless Brian Wilson.

@@DummyYEEEAAHHHHH did he say that? Wow

@@justinpuga3522 Yes he did... I honestly forget which one it was...but it was was on a documentary about him...theres quite a few.... A cpl yrs ago Showtime did a documentary about the 50th anniversary of Pet Sounds... If u go thru the track list on thr album..and search for example "behind the sound..wouldnt it be nice" and there will be a 7-8 min video talking about each song.. The documentary features commentary by Brian(obviously lol),Al Jardine,and alot of the Wrecking Crew interviews... The wrecking crew was a group of extremely talented studio musician's...frequently used by Brian's idol Phil Spector(atleast before he killed that girl)...thats a good one... If u search Brian Wilson documentaries..theres like 6 or 7 of em...all very good... Check em out brother...youll dig it...alsk idk if your a Crosby,Stills,Nash,and Young fan.. Another great documentary by Cameron Crowe called "Remember My Name" its about David Crosby...and one more lol...its called "Echo in the Canyon" by Bob Dylan's son Jakob...its about all the bands that came out of Laurel Canyon in the 60s... He interviews Brian Wilson,Jackson Browne,Graham Nash,Ringo,Eric Clapton and alot more...its great...so theres a list of dope documentaries about bands that we both obviously like... Enjoy my friend....also check out the trailers to "Echo in the Canyon" and "Remember My Name"...it'll give u a taste on how good those documentaries are.

Nickelback makes me cry.

Yes, we all know.

The Beatles make me nauseous

@@zapkvr0101 shut up Kevin , such a contrarian take

He didn’t say pet sounds he said god only knows

And the accoutrements needed to make the sounds!

I’d love to see how they all rehearse together, working with Brian

He seems genuinely happy and energetic. The audience enjoys that as much as the songs

Yes, very gentle and humble, too! He's a fine musician and great humanitarian.

I was wondering who they were they're so damn tight they nailed everything!

Thanks to the Wondermints.

Crazy. Didnt know he was that young when the beach boys blew up.

@@brocklanders1009 He wrote Surfer Girl when he was 19 and was pumping out 2-3 albums a year at the beginning of his career.

100% Agree

@Alvaro Sarco: no argument with that statement.

The UNDERSTATEMENT of the century! Only kidding. In my book and the world of pop/rock, he ranks right up there with Bach and Beethoven. Pure, unadulterated musical genius. The quintessential musical genius. I'll bet he even has "perfect key", which is the ability to listen any note and not only tell you the exact note it is in treble or bass clef, but tell you if it's even the slightest bit sharp or flat! It's a God-given gift.

Had, man, this was from a 2002 live, now he can barely sing low note parts, it's sad but it's true

@@riccardocondorelli2220 He'll be performing near me in December, (2018). I've never seen him in concert so I won't mind the faded vocals. Brian Wilson live in any condition would be a treat.

@@ThekiBoran Inform us after the concert. I would love to see him live!

He is an old man with a young soul.

Damn right, from your cousin...

Steven King Actually, Steven King is my late brother. Welcome back.

Same here😊

What you said is very important to hear because sometimes we stop believing in people or ourselves or both. But it is actually other people who inspire us to be better and it is like a redemption to ourselves again.

That's awesome man !

Its sooo good seeing Brian smiling underddtanding his emergence from dark places. The ole MASTER AT HIS BEST!

Fantastic film, Paul Dano nails 60s Brian so well!

giovanni corsino sweet nostalgia? A milkshake sounds pretty fucking good right now bro :)

@@alexdesmall6916 A dilly bar at the DQ.

Agreed! Though I think '77's Love You belongs there, too: probably the final great BBs statement, however raw.

Dont forget Today!(1965)

brian wilson what can i say his comeback from depression is amazing wish i could do the same Michael

SMiLE and Today! are also brilliant

I love the smile sessions. I would really have loved to hear what that project would have sounded like if BW had finished it back then. Today's is great, I agree, but if he would have finished it back then it would've likely been quite different.

It's a close second to "Surf's Up" for me.

@@Peringon Surf's Up is a good album but quite varied. The last three tracks make it for me with the title track being the absolute highlight. It's all subjective though. Personally I think side two of Today! is the most underrated slice of BBs music.

I like smile a little more than pet sounds. sunflower is also terribly underrated.

+bluesandcountry Great documentary, that crew was behind some amazing albums!

Maximus X, but did you put your _head_ on his shoulder?

Don't forget harmonies. :-)

It actually sounded like the record..

I wont say anything bad about Mikes band but Mike Love is an asshole!

@@beachboysswiftie If it wasent for Brian wilson, no one would give a fuck about mike love.

Mike who? Brian, Carl, Dennis and Al are the beach boys. Throw in Dave Marks. No need for what’s his name !

That is powerful, man. Respect from Gen-Z, Brian’s music is now helping me through my own tough times.

well, yes, it can be matched. Lennon/McCartney, along with Brian, are geniuses. Brian agrees.

@@mssheilajones It's quite possible Brian is wrong.

yes, indeed, but not possible that I am wrong.

@@mssheilajones Wilson was driving the creativity bus in the 60s. McCartney sat in on some of the Smile sessions, he can even be heard crunching celery on the Vega-Tables track. The influence of Smile is clearly evident on Sgt Pepper's. Wilson is in a league of his own and will someday have his own postage stamp here in the US. Pure genius.

@@mssheilajones Have you seen this cover of Sloop John B by the Fendertones? It is stunning. Dare I say it's as good as the BB's version? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdN6achhm8u9k4E.html

+The Homeboy chizannel Theres no denying when an album is a masterpiece that anybody can like it, no matter if its far off from what they usually listen too. I was the same way when I first listened to this album, its a work of art and evokes these universal themes and feelings that so many can relate too, its timeless.

the hip hop remix of "I just wasn't made for these times" is incredible

it's a j dilla remix

What a travesty! Horrible!!

Not hip hop per se but hip hop mixing in with anything to do with Pet Sounds. UGHH

Which one?
