Love/Wilson still existing is like Lennon/Mccartney still existing

So those two numbskulls should get their sh*t together and realize they're one of the coolest songwriting partnerships in rock & roll and write some more classics like Here Comes The Night.

Not really...

Somehow I don't see Paul getting together with John again any time soon to write a song for The Beatles' 50th anniversary.

Mike is still seen as a no talent loser by so many. It is almost sickening how underated his role in The Beach Boys is by the general media. Brian was the genius, but Mike was the one most able to make that genius apparent to the masses.

I don't particularily care about the Disney album (though it's nice and all), and I'm bored with the Smile thing (though "when" it's finally released it'll be cool) - but this reunion album, which could probably be their last album is the one I'm really crossing my fingers about.  My hope is that they do something classy, age appropriate and excellent.   My fear is that it will be stupid, shlocky and crap. 
They have an opportunity here (and as mentioned, it could be their last opportunity) and I'm rooting for them not to blow it.

I have no fear. Everything Bran & Mike touch turns into gold or a hilarious substitute gold. I Get Around [with my walker].

And also for those who lack respect for Love - may I remind you all that a song needs a hook, a girl/boy thing that everyone can understand. Without that it's all just woo-woo machines and acid alliteration. When I see my baby, when I see my little girl - these are classic lyrics. f*ck Cabinessence, give me A Thing Or Two or Here Comes The Night anyday so I can boogie with my girl.

For a good reason.

By the general media?  By your average Brian Wilson fan.  Look @ the folks on this board, no respect for Mike's talent.

God is Love. Mike is Love.  Love Mike. Mike Love. 

Ever see Mike in his "Last Of The Summer Wine" phase?

The whole reason I like Smile is the "acid alliteration" and woo-woo machines! Over and over the crow cries uncover the cornfield, baby!!

What about those that are boy/boy? Σ(゜д゜;)

He means those that bat for the home team.

[ghost]

well he's a roller skating child with a ribbon in his hair
he gets my heart a beatin' when i see him there
you know my heart starts smiling when he sings
he's such an angel i bet he's got wings

and we'll make sweet lovin when the sun goes down
we'll even do more when his momma's not around
well oh my oh gosh oh gee he really sends chills inside of me


and the world just got a whole lot creepier  

[WaxOn]

Hilarious substitute gold! 
Is that like what I scraped off my shoe this morning?

I get around [with my walker] sounds like the BW concert last night.
All these folks dancing and then instead of passing joints, they were passing oxygen masks.

Mike Love has some talent, If you put a gun to my head, I would still refuse
to say he was half of a great team like Lennon/McCartney

I'd say it was more like 90%-10%

But there is something called chemistry, and the remaining Beach Boys
all in a room together, could create a whole greater than the individual
parts.

I don't like Mike Love, everything I have ever read about him. makes him
seem like a bully and nutter and kind of a redneck creep.. HOWEVER
perhaps the Beach Boys could do something good. Vocally Brian Wilson
is a shadow of his former self, and as a producer, I don't know how
engaged he is anymore, or how much he is able to concentrate, but
with Love Jardine and JOhnston in the vocal blend, maybe they could
do some magic, if somebody could write a couple good songs.


I agree with whoever said, it would be their final album together. At 70
years of age, I would hope so. One last hurrah is great, but there comes
a time. To hang em up.

The Beach Boys minus Mike Love, Al "would rather be a dentist" Jardine, Bruce Johnston = THE WILSON BROTHERS BAND.

Like some kind of bizarre Californian-Norwegian garage punk band with Dennis' rambunctious clubbing, Carl's electrifying guitaring, and Brian's funky bass & keyboarding.   

And, dare I suggest it, a little Murry on piano and "da doobie da dee dee doos"? We've heard his voice in Be Here and it is EXCELLENT - adds to the youthful blend like the primordial vibration of slowly shifting tectonic plates. Usually a description applied to Sunn O))) but it works for Murry too.
