Guess I'm a little late to the dance here, as I see this came out, at least in the U.K., back in February.  I just spotted it at a news stand here in L.A. yesterday.  Sorry if this was mentioned already, but it was quite a shock seeing this great shot of Brian staring out at me:  http://www.hedislimane.com/portraitdiary/index.php   http://www.manabouttown.tv/

"MEN IN GRAY: Man About Town, a Paris-based biannual men’s title edited by Philip Utz, saved oodles on retouching and color printing with its spring/summer issue, which hits newsstands next week. It’s devoted to Hedi Slimane’s Los Angeles and is filled with his signature black-and-white photography, from the lined face of Brian Wilson on the cover to his more familiar cast of skinny youths, including Agyness Deyn in full tomboy mode. Slimane also rounded up a cast of cultural movers and shakers across the indie and legend spectrums, from music mavens Wavves and Beck to the writer Gore Vidal and artist John Baldessari. The 268-page issue features cheeky interviews with designers Rick Owens and Giorgio Armani and many fashion shoots with scant amounts of clothing."
"What a very clever choice for an issue based on LA, seriously. I am going to go and listen to Pet Sounds now."

quotes above are from:

It's really a great picture of Brian. It's not the same that was used quite often these last few years, is it?

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Impressive, though it does look as if someone has just wiped the drool off his chin.
