Been a fan of Brian since 1965 .1st album I ever purchased was a beach boy album.

After seeing "Love & Mercy," I have to credit Melinda with saving his life. Thanks, Melinda ! And Brian, you ARE a survivor.

you can thank her for the auto tune on That's Why God Made The Radio

and now 2018, still doing it!

Like it or not Landy saved Brian, at least physocally. The man took it too far and emotionally scarred Brian in the end though. He's dead now though so it's all good

broheim how was she involved with that record?

he looked better during the making of Pet Sounds

And MINE!

@@buddysteele7624 From outside appearances maybe, but knowing the growth he's gone through to this point makes him seem even better

yeah, anybody who begs for credit doesn't deserve it.

That is so true. The greatest artists are also the most generous.

I honestly think Mike has gotten a really unfair reputation over the years. The narrative has become that he hated Pet Sounds and SMiLE but i dont think it’s exactly true. I think he just thought that they had an obligation to sell records and that going into this experimental direction was a risk for the band, now I disagree with his point that they should put selling records before making incredible art but he ended up being right. Pet Sounds was not received well by the public other than some folks who had great taste in music and other musicians. On the SMiLE sessions box set there are behind the scenes tracks of them all recording vocals and on “Our Prayer” you can hear Mike say in between takes “Is this its own track or just an intro? Because this is beautiful it could be a whole song.” So he definitely liked the music. Mike sang his heart out on Pet Sounds and the SMiLE sessions and you never hear them arguing on the tapes, if Mike hated it so much why would he put in all that time and effort to learn those complex parts and sing them? I think Mike knew that the music Brian was making in 1966-67 was really special but he was worried it wouldn’t sell and the band would be broke and would be back to working minimum wage jobs. Im so glad Brian defied that thinking and decided to keep writing songs that were true to his soul and weren’t just marketable but Mike is made out to be an enemy and i think its not right.

Broke and back to minimum wage jobs? Please! They had a dozen hits and four well received albuma before pet sounds. Brian and the boys could have done whatever they wanted with little to no repercussions (other than their reputations). They were millionaires! Mike Love had no excuse to be so uptight about pet sounds.

Was it only 4? Seems like every other month something new was coming from Brian between19 62 and 1965

Well said.

Love BRAIN AN IM AB67YR OLD AMERICAN DUTCH SCOTTS WELCH ENGLISH WHO STILL ADORES BEACHBOYS!!A WIDOW OF 7YRS I CRY AT HIS SONG UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, I WISH I HAD A LAST CHAPTER TRUE LOVE GODBLESS BRAIN AN HIS FAMILIES MAY BEACHS BOYS LIVES ON AN ON..👍🙏❤🤗👱‍♀️🐶🐶🥰🏞🥀🙏😔😌❤ BEAUTIFUL

You are right, we have to thank him. Je suis d'accord avec vous, il faut lui être reconnaissant pour tout ce qu'il a créé.

@@julieannkuster1999- Best wishes, dear Julieann!

@@racine1685 - Einverstanden! Right! D'accord!

👍🤗🥰🙏❤👱‍♀️🙏❤

That's one thing Mike Love doesn't have.

There are a LOT more too!

Well you know what they say, grass don't grow on a busy street

all the boys were pretty hairy

@@mikehoncho9344 What does that mean? If you're busy you'll lose your hair haha

..and "In my Room."

Absolutely

Genius

All are not created equal, though!

It's the best of the best.

Brian is slightly on the spectrum; note the talking out of one side of his mouth. This is an indicator of either Aspergers or Autism.

In my room, made Whoopi cry, which as you know is a beautiful song, and the harmonizing is so iconic Beach Boys

@@robbylong2748 👍

I remember that. Who would've guessed.

@@tomjones5650 👍

So true but sad that Whoopi has evolved to such a mean spirited hard nose person. I doubt she would react that way now. Just to be a fly on wall with all this talent an take it into my being.

VeniceBeach, Half Moon Bay, Morro? Bay.

Carol Kaye.

@@StevenJRoosa ik ik, it was autocorrect but thank you ig

Present tense. She’s still with us. And I’m sure she’s interesting in person. Very smart from what I’ve heard.

@@MatthewChristianMurray thank you, I was gonna say something about her being alive still

Some great documentaries on here about or featuring her.

Still alive, I had to check.

Hope u enjoying TN… go into the hollers an find the pure music… u will be amazed… not the “ put on” of Studio Ex!

You're also forgetting Negroid and Native American

Give it time...... there will be 🙁

I prefer Brian as a vocalist, but they were both great

@@subg8858 Their ranges were similar, but at that time, in my opinion, Carl's voice had a sweeter quality to it that was required for God Only Knows. As to Good Vibrations, I don't know. Maybe Brian just preferred Carl's voice with Mike's words.

But Brian was also not wanting to tour during this era, so Carl would have to be the one to perform them live, so best to have his voice on the album as well.
