stuff, I mean shit, we've been sayin' it for years down here. I mean, I like "Smile" just fine, and the rest of it...funny, I was playing my skeptical-about-the-Beach-Boys friend (he does not surf nor does he appreciate a good muscle car, but digs the Residents) the song "Johnny Carson" just the other day, telling him "this is what the Residents could've done, had they had more talent," being the smart-ass I am ("Eskimo" being some kind of tone-poem shit), and then right after that the news came on and said that JC was dead. The way he kept it up made me cry. Like B. Wilson during recording that song about the fire, I was convinced I'd made it happen.
Please use the line as much as possible, Matos.

Natalie Duncan liked him!
The Beach Boys were really friendly, especially Mike Love. He was hilarious. He kept talking to me throughout the whole filming, just talking away about how I should sing Etta James. And he was very disparaging about Public Image Ltd, which I found hilarious. But that really put me at ease.

So, the Beach Boys are on "Later" with Jools, along with Public Image Ltd and Muse? With NatDunc..

OK, shall I defend Mike Love?
There are two "Beach Boys"
One set can do "The Hits" and be the "Beach Boys Experience" type funfunfun-ness, the "standard" edition, and not be expensive ticketpricewise..
And the other set can do the "Deluxe / Directors Brew" for those buffs that insist on the 'authentic' experience, and pay higher ticket prices.
There's also the matter of the health of those guys. I'd have thought this would be a blessing to Brian, as he was pretty much talking about retiring after his "Gershwin" concerts were done.
― Mark G, Friday, 28 September 2012 09:37 (eleven years ago) link
*Spoiler Alert*
Last nights gig was interesting in a few ways:
They played for 3 1/2 hours, not including a 15 min interval.
Most of the concert was continuous, like a medley format but without actually truncating songs (most of the early ones are within the 3 min rule anyways)
It started off sounding as if it was gonna be chronological, then they dropped Disney Girls, but the concert was fairly biased to pre-'66.
They did a few weird covers (California Dreaming) but also some deep cuts, Add Some Music, Good Timing, All This is That and a lot of early tunes from off the beaten path like Kiss Me Baby and The Ballad of 'Ole Betsy.
There were far too many people on stage for the early numbers, like 5 Guitarists and 4 Keyboard players.
For the BW lovers, they did In My Room, H&V, Good Vibrations, Our Prayer.

And he was very disparaging about Public Image Ltd, which I found hilarious.
Not that I'd expect Mike Love to be a fan but that PiL performance was the only thing on the whole show which wasn't totally appalling.

So I shall see, in all likelihood, BW's last ever show with the Beach Boys tonight. Bet he always hoped it would be on a cold, rainy autumn day in a shed in one of the unlovelier suburbs of north west London.

lol:
“Two things that we know for certain: Mr. Love will never allow the facts get in the way of his ramblings and he will never miss an opportunity to regurgitate his venom,” the Eagles’ spokesman wrote in a letter to Love’s publicist Jay Jones, which was copied to The Times. “Lest we forget, during his acceptance speech at the Beach Boys' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, which was ostensibly about the importance of harmony and how the Beach Boys ‘love all people,’ Mr. Love attacked Paul McCartney and Diana Ross for not being in the room. He then went on to say that ‘Mick Jagger has always been afraid to get on the stage with the Beach Boys."
“Since 1994 when the Eagles reunited, they have performed more than 600 shows worldwide,” the letter continued. “Neither the band nor its reps are aware of any promoter accusing them of being ‘overexposed.’ Regarding Mr. Love’s statement about Eagles tickets being sold for $5, according to our records that did happen on June 21, 1975, when the band performed at Wembley Stadium with the Beach Boys.”
― Darin, Friday, 28 September 2012 21:24 (eleven years ago) link
True. When the first Pet Sounds box set used Brian's vocal for the stereo "Wouldn't It Be Nice" bridge (something Love put a stop to on all subsequent releases) I thought it was an improvement for similar reasons.
― birdistheword
i thought it was because they couldn't find the master tape for the love bridge when the first box came out, and then they found the tape. was that a cover story?
― Kate (rushomancy), Monday, 3 October 2022 17:44 (one year ago) link
It's a bullshit story. Listen to the 2001 standalone release where they restored Love's vocal on the stereo mix. Love's vocal is flown in from the final mono mix, and the result clearly has phasing issues which was unavoidable at the time. They can probably do a better job of it with the same "demixing" tools Giles has been using.

Spotted in an FB group:
1979 BOMP! Magazine: Nick Lowe on Mike Love:"Like what's that bloke's name… Mike Love? Is he the one that wears that hat all the time? What a wanker that bloke is! When he came over to England, I saw him on the television. He was being interviewed and he was like this crass American tourist and he all but said your policemen are wonderful and I just came over here for the girls, you got so many pretty girls here. I thought, for fuck’s sake, what is this wimp doing? He had on this sort of LA beige suit on and the beads around his neck. He just looked like the biggest wanker I'd ever seen. And his stupid little yachting cap!"
