wym so precious with his old ass self?

yeeehh new smile is heh to me
regarding gems ive shared with you already

but here’s one that breaks the most my heart

in the early 90s there was this miracle where brian and his camp put him around talented people who were actual big fans, several plans to make a beach boys critically acclaimed comeback album with brian were scrapped

one of them was the last one attempted, before carl passed away

only two original brian songs he did with andy paley (which whom he had a very productive collaboration and put some of his best material in years with) were recorded during those sessions before it got called off

so these are the two final beach boys original songs we ever had with carl, and boy do they deliver... one is a soulful inspired song, and the other a pure brian type song (since they released it on the MIC boxset brian vocals has been re-recorded and autotuned but it’s still fine)

imagine if a whole album of this was green lighted and finished, how their legacy would’ve been healed for a minute....

@Sir_Swagalot check this out

i eventually made my own ultimate “what if” 90s beach boys album where i put together songs from brians first solo, beach boys 90s attempted songs and some little liberties to make the best out of it

and boy it’s a killer beach boys, absolute classic that goes against their best material ever.. never lost it

i mean in his interviews that are like from 2000s-2010s he just makes me laugh the way he talks

not in a bad way

that soul searchin is crack whew

that breakdown at like 1 minute on mystery
s*** had so much cool s*** going on at once

carl on chemo treatment killing it... how

cause that music is a lifeforce in itself

preach

brian wrote so many great stuff with andy for a potential beach boys album during that era and he was beyond thrilled about that material ... as he should, s*** was classics on classics for days

first album she picks up is pet sounds

this on repeat... @spongebob

had to add that thanks @Teal_ lol

shout out to @Slingshot

she's so cringe. ugh

u savage mf

yeh she sounds annoying lol good band picks tho, altho basic albums

man she fell off tho..

another gem left unreleased 😩😩 @spongebob

adore this song, how many goats can keep for so long such left overs..

i have found spot for the album too
one of my friends i got into the bbs said this has become his favorite album oat and that brian has just pure innocence in him

i really feel that

imagine if he did that album with the boys tho

what a comeback single the title song would’ve been

this acapella mix too:

he reworked that song a number of times, but this version is clearly the definitive version. I'm glad he revisited it and perfected it. dude is beyond special. god bless brian wilson

agree, he nailed it on that one even if the prod can be dated it still shines through
preach brother
love this one too

it’s crazy that this album which was the result of ex wrestler joe thomas total nobody who produces tv commercials or something taking over the talents of andy paley and sean ohagan ended up so nice

did you guys know in the mid 90s brian reconnected with tony asher, the great lyricist of pet sounds?

only two songs has been released from these sessions that also involved the great andy paley

this isn’t love:

(oddly enough before dropping that version, they first released an only instrumental version of it)

and everything i need:

as you can tell this isn’t released as a brian solo song, it was given to his daughters band, he is featured on the bridge and hal blaine, the iconic pet sounds drummer is also featured on it! a too rare reunion

however if you listen to this version is it produced in a very clean, adult contemporary fashion way which is typical of joe thomas as ive mention above, as mucch as i love imagination the album, im not a fan of this opportunist ..

thank fully the demo of the song has surfaced, which features the same gang but without the soft production, more closer to a pet sounds flavor:

here is another version recorded by jeff foskett, longtime backing vocals for the beach boys since the 80s, who’s been on every released project since until they parted way post 50th reunion, but he is on most brian albums, including smile, the falsetto is mostly him, he is on the beach boys reunion album

either way, am not personally a fan of him, he sounds artificial in his falsetto, but he did cover everything i need to make justice to the demo style, it also features brian but not hal blaine whatsoever, but it’s nice to hear in a good production a take on the song and with vocals of jeff that does make a good impression of young brian either way:

here is hal blaine talking about the song, how they got together, how he loves the song and called it the record of the year,how joe thomas got in the way of it and ruined it, all amazing insightful stuff, heartbreaking too tho... if you thought brian was free once landy was out and his wife came in, think again... timestamp 3:29

@Elric @Fantasy @Bad_Finger_Boogie @Teal_ @spongebob

wasn't familiar with The Wilsons tbh, so those are both his daughters?

how much stuff have they released?

yeh they only did one album tho, which even has a cover of til i die (unfortunately butchered by joe thomas prod)

they were more productive as wilson phillips which is the supergroup they did with the daughter of john phillips (mama and papas singer songwriter who did kokomo and somewhere near japan), they had multiple albums and some hits, one of their single has like some 40 mil views on youtube so ig they did big back in the day

@2words you heard that song before? ^
