Brian is the beach boys even tho the others have been together for a long time NEVER FORGET THE WILSON BROTHERS and Al jardine
It is heartbreaking that not only did Brian lose Melinda recently and now has dementia. I wish Brian the very best.
Brian has schizophrenia. I don’t believe he has dementia, but his brain has been messed up for years. I met him in 1985 and he had it then. He took way too many LSD trips in the 1960’s and it fried his brain. So sad. He was also abused by his father
I agree with you! It’s very sad that Brian lose Melinda and now having dementia. It’s crazy because I worked with an individual at my job. That had the same diagnosis as Brian Wilson. Though the person I was taking care of Had more bitterness in him. Brian at least tried finding positive aspects because people life his brother Carl, Al, I’m sure Dennis, and Melinda in his life were looking out for him, except for Eugene Landy, who was a terrible person and psychologist to Brian. God only knows what’s going on with Brian. I’m keeping him in prayers but it’s amazing how Brian went through a lot and he still is around.
He's possibly had dementia progressing for years
Bought a copy of "Surfin" when it was first released in 1961on a 45. I am now 75 and have seen them at 3 concerts in '66,'71 and '75.
Great that you were able to see the whole band together!
What's amazing and been said numerous times is the generations of people the music has touched once a Beach Boys fan always a Beach Boys the love never dies
My husband, Robin Willis had the honour in '72 to be the coach driver for the Beach Boys. After doing the 'Old Grey Whistle' they flew to Birmingham, where they did the first show. From there was Manchester, Liverpool & Leicester. They then travelled south & did Reading, Bristol, Brighton, London (Royal Festival Hall), Crystal Palace Bowl' with Elton John, The Who & Showaddywaddy.
The Beach Boys are never the same without Dennis n Carl.
I totally agree with you. Wish they could come back..love all beach boys music..❤
Carl was amazing. I was at several concerts before his death that Dennis wasn't even really playing. A second drummer was actually what you heard. It's a shame what happened to him.
The Beach Boys are the Best. I first saw them in 1979 when I was 19 years old and loved it. Since then I have seen them 45 times. I’ve seen the original lineup, then the group without Brian, the 50th anniversary tour, Mike & Bruce’s Beach Boys, and Brian’s Tour. These concerts are what summer is all about and they keep the “endless summer” going. I have met Mike and Bruce, talked with them a bit, got their autographs as well as a picture with them, and to tell you, Mike was the opposite of what people say about him. He was cool, down to earth and an OK guy. Bruce is so laid back and cool. Every time I hear “In my Room”, it brings me back to the days of hanging my feet out of my bedroom window after long little league game and listening to the BB’s on the radio. Summer would not be summer without Beach Boys songs!!!!
Great !!!! I first saw then in 1974 in Jersey city at Roosevelt Stadium and about 125 times since then. got Pet Sounds at 10 years old when it came first came out and was hooked. The 50th anniversary tour was simply amazing , no fooling around, just great music . It was fantastic to see teenagers there singing along. My favorite has to be ' wouldn't it be nice' with the amazing Hal Blaine on drums.
brian is the true genius behind it all
I'm excited about 7:27!!! I hope it's a public event with Brian Wilson. I live in California and only got into the Beach Boys last year but I'm so obsessed. I saw Mike and Bruce live last year but I wanna see the rest of them together in person even if there's no performance.
To be 70 and remember when you were 10 and heard your first BEACH BOYS song.....they were always my favorite....and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Beatles.....as well....incredible time to be ALIVE!!!
They're good lads 🙂
The Beach Boys = All heroes, no villains (to me)
Beach Boys = summer!
My first ever gig, on my 16th birthday, Liverpool Empire 1971, incredible 😎👍🏼
The first concert I ever went to was a Beach Boys concert in 1978 - I was 10 years old. They were/still are my Dad's favorite band - we still love listening to their music together. I would love to see all of the surviving original members get back together once more, at least for a final show together. I hope that Brian Wilson is doing well.
I would love it too but if it ever happened it would probably not be a real show, just them doing a few parts of a song.
Bruce Johnston with a surfboards shirt 👍
Yes, The Beach Boys met The Beatles for the first time when The Beatles were playing in Portland Oregon on August 22, 1965. The story is in my documentary "The Beatles In Portland - The Complete Story" The Director's Cut Version.
The Beach Boys’ Mike Love & Bruce Johnston what cool band hope Brian get better soon love to you all keep rock n roll
Brian was the musical genius, Mike was a showman.....
Mike ruined the band through his selfishness.
@@oldsaerotech1167 Yep, lots of ego on Mike's end despite his foray into 'Transcendental Meditation'. My husband was a huge Brian Wilson fan, not so much Mike.
Mike wrote many great lyrics; he's a talented guy.
@@joyceread7053 Mike Love , unfortunately has always been the tool, the fool, a miniscule jewel.
@@oldsaerotech1167 LOVE IT !
Brilliant missed it on itv 1 morning programme, amazing a fan for 60yrs now I saw them play live at The Odeon cinema on stage in 1967. Mike and Bruce along with Dennis Wilson on drums and Carl Wilson. I was 16yrs old and blown away with it watched from the circle seats the crowds were amazing. The boys in their white and blue straight striped short sleeve shirts. This interview I just caught the RUclips link by accident didn't realise they'd been on morning telly.x
And Al Jardine.
I’ve seen more than 50 interviews in my lifetime were they ask these same questions.
This is one group where you really need a true BB fan to properly do an interview. Literally every journalist just thinks theyre just some early 60s surf band and know absolutely nothing about the groups history and relations and music post 1966.
Right? I’ve heard Mike tell that story at least 100 different times. I want to know about Holland and that period.
It's too late for a reunion now. Brian isn't up to it and i don't think Al and David would do it without him.
If they doing something I don’t think it would be a tour. Probably a couple songs at the premiere of the documentary (excluding Brian) would be nice to see Blondie Chaplin there though.
@@georgekeay3097 I don't think Blondie would do it either.
@@jaggass yeah would be nice to see him there though.
@@georgekeay3097 Hopefully Blondie appears in the documentary somewhere. I hope Jeff Foskett RIP does at some point too.
Brian is suffering from dementia. So sad 🥲
The Wilson’s had the talent.
Mike Love is nowhere close to an equal in terms of his contributions. He is a self promoter of the highest order, and a bad human being. Five wives later.
But they didn't have the had
Bruce was a talented pianist
Bruce was only second to Brian. Cope about it all you want.
I want to see Mike and Bruce in Birmingham ❤ i hope they come here
I love the beach boys big fan
Thanks for posting this ❤️
Big time hard feelings between Mike Love and AL Jardine, eral
Typo: etal. The Wilson heirs
For sure! Al has always been Brian’s ally and Mike has always been Brian’s nemesis. Dennis and Carl have both been gone for decades. Not a happy scene sadly.
@@munimathbypeterfelton6251 Al sided with Mike in the late 70's. MIU album was a result of Mike and Al working together while Carl and Dennis hated the direction the band was taking
Al tells the past as it actually happened and Mike resents that.
@@Neto808Correct. That was probably around the same time that Al told Dennis, "We don't need you in the group."
The Beach Boys are superior. There's no other band that can sing, write, produce, or play like them. They can perform songs either acapella or instrumental.
Here's the unbelievable part: they were NOT auditioned or put together by any record company executives. They were brothers, cousins and friends who came together through their love and talent for music.
Um, thier best records, Pet Sounds, Smile etc were all recorded by studio musicians.
@@pumpkinking5174 Carl and Dennis both played instruments on Pet Sounds. Their early records were their own playing so they had to pretty good to break into the industry.
@@pumpkinking5174Those are only the "best" records to casual fans.
The thing is nobody makes this kind of music...eventually it will end...I am glad I was young enough when it came out to enjoy it in the early days...like the Beatles, The Moody Blues...don't know if groups like those will ever come around again...
They definitely won’t. The 1960s and its music were a once-in-a-lifetime historical experience. But thanks to RUclips, iTunes, Pandora, Spotify, Amazon, public libraries, and what few music stores that still sell CDs remain, the music of that era, generation, and its legacy will live on.
@@munimathbypeterfelton6251Plus the 100s of LP re-releases. The Beach Boys sure have a few of those.
Best Beach Boys Interview Ever in Britain!!
You can forget lennon and mc old guy
Brian Wilson is the greatest living musical genius
You can have all 3. Brian Wilson loves them
All of them are amazing
Why make such a comment? You are allowed to admire, enjoy, acknowledge more than one writer.
Lennon is very dead though
these TV hosts are apparently unaware than any true Beach Boys fan despises Mike Love, and has little tolerance for Bruce Johnston. Perhaps they should have asked Mike about his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame speech in the late 80s, his many, many divorces, how he carved Brian out of the band when he was fully able to play and contribute... Mike Love is NOT a good human.
The band ended with the Wilsons
Beach Boys ❤
So grateful and privileged that I got to see Brian Wilson perform Pet Sounds in it’s entirety for its 50th anniversary in 2016
this is the best the guys have looked in years...good for them!
Nothing sadder than Brian being lost at this point and not out representing the Wilsons and Mike hated Pet Sounds initially.
He named it, ans sang very well on it.
@@mustomax True, and provided lyrics but didn't care for it.
I wish they would reunite with Al Jardine.
He plays with Brian. He made the right choice.
@@scottmoreau5630I guess you haven't heard about Brian retiring from touring?
@@Phelps-1247 Yep, I know and it’s very sad. He’s really taken a turn. If it helps, I can rephrase my response.. “Al decided to play with Brian on every tour since the 2012 reunion when Love decided to basically move on from them.”
If there is any reunion, make sure there is video footage that is extremely clear and up close! 😊❤
for what ??? don't get it
My first concert had the Captain and Tenile playing with them ! A few years ago😎
Toni Tennille was quite a beauty in her college days.
And that voice, what a smooth golden sound.
She did a lot of backup singing on various artists' albums ( Elton John and Pink Floyd, for starters).
My copy of the Beach Boys' album "All Summer Long" has a "Meet the Beatles" label on one side. Always annoying, because I can't remember what songs are on that side. Will have to sign up for Disney + to see the documentary.
This was a great interview, I’m so excited for the doc, genuinely. They’re gonna tackle some major points in the bands’ history.
However I don’t think it’s fair to put Brian up on stage for a reunion now. If that’s what they’re planning they just can’t. Poor guy has been through so much, especially recently & to make him perform at this point wouldn’t be right.
Wow. Great to see and hear these two. BTW… the Tom Brady/Hertz ad and the Burger King jingle are THE WORST OF THE WORST.
Great to see two music icons.
saw them in old Chicago stadium 1976. Billy Joel opened
Ask Mike on all the legal issues he put them through so he could own the name and tour his tribute band!
I think he does own the name.
@@RichardFelstead1949 He does...this is where we are nowadays....one can either go through the courts or use money to own "the name" and then perform using it....look at "The Guess Who"...the drummer years ago paid Bachman and Cummings x amount of dollars to buy them out and to own the name. He then hired these young kids to perform as "The GUess Who"...recently Cummings has refused to liscense any venue to let them use his songs in their shows...shutting them off!
There hasn't been legal issues, it was just handed over to him when Carl died, as Carl had the touring rights beforehand
@@RichardFelstead1949 Doesn't make it any less unethical
I’ve heard Mike pays a licensing fee to use the group’s name and he also pays a percentage of the merchandise sales to the other group members for the privilege…
They seem so much in awe to hear the stories that have been told in interviews thousands of times.
There are also new ones that pop up
BRIAN WILSON LOVES YOU
These two are absolute ghouls of what really should be Brian Wilson's legacy
Bruce is not an original Beach Boy. But at this point, I believe he’s appeared onstage at more Beach Boys concerts than Brian Wilson.
Beach Boys = Wilson brothers
Just like the Bee Gees = brothers Gibb.
Bruce gets to answer a few questions but not without being interrupted by Mike.
It won’t be the same with these two on tour without the talent of drummer John Cowsill.
Johns talent as a musician and his singing skills add up to a huge disappointment he was let go.
Mike Love is quite the name dropper, a man who owes his career to his cousin Brian Wilson.
Well said on all counts, Tom. John C. was/is an extremely capable supporting player. When Love dumped him & guitarist/arranger Scott Totten, he cemented his well earned legacy as an insincere (your choice of obscenity here). And up to speed BB's fans know that was just the tip of the iceberg.
It is fact that The Beach Boys exist without Mike Love yet they do not exist without Brian Wilson.
@@larrylewis5721 I am not a huge Mike fan BUT without him playing through the years no one cared about listening to The Beach Boys no one would know who they are today. Give him some credit , he also did write quite a bit of the lyrics to some great songs.
Good thing that It's a Beach Boys concert and not a The Cowsills concert, then.
@@Phelps-1247 I’ll take a Cowsill concert over the Cover band Beach Boys with Mike Love.
Mike and Bruce are laughable.
My Glove and his son, Brouche
After watching Love and Mercy, I now understand why the last time I saw the Beach Boys in Birmingham their performance wasn't very good, it was only one there last song that they put their best into the song! this was back in the the 60's
The Beach Boys were originally the Pendletons.
When the initial record pressings returned from the pressers, the 'Beach Boys' label was on the records....
I suspect Brian's father went ahead and changed the name behind their backs.
Happy birthday Michael Love happy birthday... Beatles wrote a song about his birthday. Performance on RUclips. Spiritual regeneration movement foundation.
Having taking in so much of the band over the years, it's always a bit of a challenge to watch stuff like this. Still I want there to be more Beach Boys.
DING DING DANG WOO
I r hope they make 1 more album.............
So a reunion is impossible as Al dont get on with Mike and David gave it up and Brian is sadly out of it , but at least they all had a cup of tea on the beach.
Mike love gets criticism at times, something to put an end to this is a thing on here called…In defence of Mike love part 2
What????
I wonder if they spend any time on the Smile stuff in the documentary?
Mike. '62 was 62 years ago.
and ???
Wow Mike is really starting to look old these days
He’s 83.
you will too when you are over 80 !!!!
The real entertainment
Bruce Johnston selfie photo
Mike Self-Love.
Mike looked older than the other guys in the band, now he looks like the youngest.
Mike has taken very good care of himself physically over the years, so props to him there. Plus, he was the oldest member of the band, born in 1941. Brian and Al were both born in 1942; Dennis was born in 1944; Carl was born in 1946.
Love it !❤
These are NOT the Beach Boys.
Exactly they're not the Beach Boys there's is no beach boys without Brian Wilson I refer to him as Mike and his Merrymen
The Beach Men....now
you don't get it !!!! Enjoy what we still have .
I never knew Mike wrote the lyrics to Good Vibrations.......
He didn't
@@pm3203 He did. Even Brian said he did.
@@WelshCorgi321 Brian has dementia
@@pm3203He does...and Mike wrote the lyrics to Good Vibrations.
@wilsonlove7647 he contributed one line
But still no uk gigs planned 😢
Didn't Manson write one of their songs or was it they stoled one of his songs
On the 20/20 album with altered lyrics.
I'm a huge fan... I just wish that one person wouldn't own the name.
Fine to go see them simply for nostalgia, but you're likely not going to be excited about the way they sound. If they sound anything remotely decent, it won't be coming from these old dudes. Saw them 3 decades ago and they sounded rough then. Just not possible for old guys to replicate that music/sound from the 60s or 70s. Falsetto turns into something other worldly when you're a geriatric.
I’m 15 and was lucky enough to see them in concert in October of 2023! They were great
This isn't the beach boys. It's Mike love.
and Bruce Johnston.
the beach boys ended years ago
Mike Love married 9 times.
The Beatles were ok but the Beach Boys rocked
Both bands rocked
No thanks Mike.
You're like a mellow david lee roth
so full of himself.
Bruce was not an original right!!
The least important guy in the band gets to rewrite history
least important ??? , I am not a huge mike fan but give some credit, it's due whether you like it or not
@@garyt19651
I would like to if he would only shut up about himself. That being said all three Wilson’s were superior musicians and that includes Dennis. Loves voice was an important part of the blend and he was tolerable for the first 5 years of the group, as far as lyrics go there is a reason he was listed as co- writer on many of the songs… it was because he simply added in phrases to work that was already finished and a lot of his claims were debunked by Al and Brian. It’s not even a bad thing to be called the least talented member of one of the all time great groups.
The Beach Boys have all passed away..Just using a name.
I'm American, and I like the Beach boys' music
🆒💙💯🎯🌎✌🏽😇
Amazing catalog of music, but it’s time to stop.
They never mention Charles Manson and Dennis Wilson being friends and Dennis letting Manson record several songs…one “Cease to Exist” and reworked as “Never Learn Not to Love” that were never released…and no mention of Dennis being a drug addict or how the Manson family destroyed his Ferrari and Mercedes Benz….or leaving his own home and the Manson family stealing all Dennis’s possessions or his disassociation with the Manson family…after they left a bullet as a treating message for Dennis….the Beach Boys always like to come off as a squeaky clean American band..but the have a murky past.
Lots of dr ugs with the band, lots of drama.
I think many people only know California girls, vibrations and I get around but don’t know of the sunflower album etc
Have a day off eh
So what? What band purposely props up and advertises the darkest parts they went through on their official career-spanning documentary? What a weird thing to complain about. Every single band has had problems. There are a ton of other docs and columns out there that talk about the problems that plagued the Beach Boys. This just in, they were alive and famous through the '60s and '70s. They got into trouble. So did many other bands. Help us all!
Why such a negative comment - it must be exhausting being so critical
@@leighlockieThink what you like..that’s your prerogative.
The woman ruins it with her unbearable voice.
More like the Retirement Home boys.
My husband, Robin Willis had the honour in '72 to be the coach driver for the Beach Boys. After doing the 'Old Grey Whistle' they flew to Birmingham, where they did the first show. From there was Manchester, Liverpool & Leicester. They then travelled south & did Reading, Bristol, Brighton, London (Royal Festival Hall), Crystal Palace Bowl' with Elton John, The Who & Showaddywaddy.
