Yeah, it was so sweet that he said "my Carl". :(

Absolutely freaking heartbreaking to hear him say that.

Been waiting years to hear him talking about them, Carl and Dennis

beachboys fanforever He probably doesn’t want to

Subooking cause he misses Carl and Dennis so much

Strombo is a fucking Canadian treasure.

I’ve never seen brian more relaxed in an interview ever.

3:50 nah . this is what brian would musically call, a dry spell. once he's asked about playing songs he gets it rolling again

I couldn't agree more... Brian is almost always visibly uncomfortable and awkward in most interview. But with George...it's like watching Brian just talk with a friend.... Well done sir, well done.

👋

He is and always has been. Big part of what makes him great

He is one of the best interviewer around he listens does his research asks questions with so much confidence

Alex Delarge cool icon bro hehe

yeah too much cocaine though...

+Aido Potato I disagree. I think he was trying get him to cry. After Brian had said "god only knows" is the hard one to sing without his brothers, george asks "GOD ONLY KNOWS REMINDS YOU OF CARL?" no it reminds him of Jamal Mashburn. "WHICH ONE REMINDS YOU OF DENNIS?" shut the fuck up and don't try to get him to cry.

+Aido how'd you feel?

He is the best

so true! both are so classy and there egos didn't stop them from being respectful to eachother

Paul went to a Beach Boys concert and it changed up some of the Beatles productions at Paul insistence.

"game recognizes game"

Paul has said that God Only Knows is his most favorite song of all time.

wich record ?

He creates stories to test people sometimes. I think he's always done that, actually. He is quite lucid and remembers a lot more than he lets on. Probably because many of those memories are complete and utter pain.

Alex Delarge Well said

He is awfully shy. Damaged goods, but what talent and musicianship. He's kind of humorous in his own way. Seems really decent. Enjoyed this interview. I've gotten so I don't get uncomfortable for him. He;s just being himself.

The thing is, he was 4 years off.

He did forget he worked with Paul McCartney, that was odd. But this was a great interview.

Brian is not an easy interview ! He is a very smart and complex individual.

@Adam The thing is, Brian is always open to answering questions, but you have to actually ask them. Most interviewers seem to think Brian will follow up on every question and go off on tangents, that he'll lead the conversation. He won't. George clearly read up on that and decided to ask more questions instead.

He's huge in Canada.

@@burlingtonbill1 hw was the hipster host of Hockey Night In Canada for one season before people couldn't stand hi. Check his interview with Gene Simmons where he is just doing his darndest to get him to bash Trump.

It really is, and I love his child like honesty and responses .

@@benpietrzykowski9216 it's not tough to be a human being, it may be tough to be an honest one, though. Thankfully, success early on afforded him this "luxury". Rich or poor, everyone oughta try his way out.

@@joelalexander4513 "tough to be an honest one". Man, aint that the truth with all the 'savages' out there. Question; what do you mean "try his way out"

@@brianl3766 i meant, give raw honesty a try. It can disarm or work against you, but either way, a raw person doesnt mean a handicapped person so

@@joelalexander4513 Okay, cool. Thanks for replying. Have a good one.

George is a pro. One of the best interviewers out there.

Yes George is a Canadian treasure. Very gifted at his trade. He listens and truly cares about the person he’s interviewing. He must be a great husband.

It was like a therapy session goddamn. Idk anything about the interviewer but I'm willing to bet he took some basic psychology classes in college

chippchipp1 Except for "You wouldn't wanna be Ringo would you?"

+chippchipp1 i disagree. I think you're right, some of his questions are good, but he seems like he views Brian Wilson as a circus side show. He doesn't really seem to respect the person Wilson is or his work, he sort of makes a joke out it (probably because of jealousy, for not many people are actually considered "genius" as Brian Wilson is, certainly not George Stromboulopolulousolous or whatever the hell his name is).. He fakes that he does but i can see down deep he only cares about the story that he's getting. Brian Wilson is a great person, a great human being. His mental illness is real and is not a joke, and yes he truly was a genius who knew how to make some of the most beautiful music ever created.

It's called adjusting to Brian's sickness which No human would know this Always criticising to the Neg Beat. which I'm now used to it,,No one is better than the Media or The Critic their both Professional's in the bathroom.

👋

I'm surprised they haven't. They have always admired each other so much.

Yesssss. Especially since Brian says he has kinda lost his creative spark, they should totally work together and reignite something cool in both of them

dude yes!!!

YES WE NEED THIS

They worked on a song together once and Brian once stated that Paul and him didn’t really click. Brian mentioned that Paul would sing off key and Paul didn’t like Brian criticizing Paul’s vocals.

He did...

George Friggin' Strombopoulos, greatest Canadian interviewer if you ask me. He's an amazing dude, does his research and is always respectful and interested. 100 % genuine

george is really good man, check his other interviews.

maryjhanep Brian seems to have a lot of social quirks: he is really honest all the time, very fast in his conclusions and stories, and has a "wierd" sense of humor, but this George guy stuck with his guns all the way, was super serious all the way through, didn't feel the need to laugh att Brian's quirks or make a big deal about his minor wierdness. That's a sign of someone who doesn't put his ego first all the time! Inspiring, actually.

awee it's really nice that you've appreciated him :)

Mrs. Featherbottom I was just thinking the same thing before I read your comment. No doubt about it - great interview. He definitely put Brian first and let him speak.

This interviewer was absolutely perfect for Brian. Most take things too slowly, and Brian loses his train of thought, but this interviewer was able to keep him on topic (for the most part). He probed just the right amount, too, and was really effective in the way he used leading questions. The fact the interview was like this from the first second shows that Mr. Stroumboulopoulos really did his homework / conducted a fantastic pre-interview. Major props. I didn't know it was possible to get Brian to be so coherent.

👋

Very interesting and correct description on how he talks, I never thought if it like that . He’s just so honest
