Anyone who doubts Jeff's talents and chemistry with The Beach Boys should check out the Live Aid clips!
He sounds just as bad there. I hear no noteworthy "chemistry" going on between he and the rest of the band sans the times where he's clearly singing but Brian thinks he is and is barely audible. That's some good "chemistry", right there.
It's not just an audio thing, but I suppose I'm just clearly wrong.
I dunno man! I remember seeing the boys on Live Air (LIVE) and thinking "who's that guy"? I remember asking my Dad if he was a Beach Boy and my dad just grumbling "I guess so"....

Matt Jardine > Jeff Foskett > Adrian Baker
Just remember that.
I don't get the Jeff hate either, but this is a good clarifying post on the "Brian substitute" topic. Matt J. was sublime, probably the best top voice they ever had outside the core group; he didn't seem like a sideman at all. And Adrian Baker....bleah. He sang worse than Brian at Long Beach in '81, and that's sayin' something.
This prettty much nails it

It's easy to see the Boys are getting a charge out of Jeff and he doesn't simply stand there either like a sideman, but rather he brings something to the performance rather than just playing the right notes.
as long as we're pulling out 80s clips, here's a great example of how they don't need anyone else:

Well, given that Carl is dead and Brian doesn't have the vocal range anymore, I think that clip is a bit misleading.

what about Dean Torrence as part of the live performences (not cd)? I think it would be cool to see a live concert dvd with the beach boys and they can have other special guests on a handfull of songs not all of them sing background with them on some songs as not only a "tribute" to them but also to fill in places where Carl and Dennis would have been and Dean can sing "barbara ann" with them,not for the whole tour but for the day they film the dvd..

Well, I used Live Aid as an example because, yes, Jeff is still among the living, and because back then he was a Beach Boys sideman and now he's a Brian sideman, so he's obviously only more capable of providing good Brian support now as opposed to some guy who played some backup guitar for a few months and quit or was sacked. It's not rocket science.

I never would have thought that, in a thread that reveals that Joe Thomas may be producing a long-awaiting BB reunion album, that the point of contention would be the involvement of Jeff Foskett. If he ends up being involved, it’s just going to be one voice. His falsetto is fine. I like Matt Jardine’s fit more, but they can both be there. Al seems to bring Matt along on most projects.
If Brian is going to have the BB’s add vocals, then for all we know Foskett’s vocals right now are just “guide” vocals.
Frankly, I hope “new” material won’t rely heavily on a bunch of “Fun Fun Fun” esque falsetto bits anyway, because that tells me it’s more likely going to be a bit too nostalgic-sounding. Brian, Mike, Al, and Bruce can appropriately layer vocals in the studio. But if Matt Jardine or Foskett or somebody else is in there too, that’s fine. Both Matt and Jeff sang on BB and solo studio material in the past.

Exactly! Its not like it's going to be an album of Jeff leads with Brian barely audible someplace in the background!
This is no different than Billy Hinsche or Marylin/Diana/Dean Torrance etc participating in backing vocals throughout The Beach Boys career.
And besides "All This Jeff Is All That"

Matt Jardine on falsetto please. Rather Foskett than Kirsch.
I missed out on this... which band members were involved with the tracking of Do it again? Darian, Scott Bennet, Jeff? Scott Totten and John Cowsill?
From what I've heard, it was Scotty T. and Cowsill, Darian, Nicky, Scott B., Gary Griffin, Brett, and Jeff.

I think we can safely say this is not going to be a great BB album to rival their finest work.
But it's a new album featuring all the surviving members, and that is something I never expected would happen.
If Jeff's on it, fine.
If Joe Thomas is producing it, fair enough.
If it's bloody awful and undoes all the good work done by the SMiLE sessions then so be it. I'll still buy it.
But I've got a feeling it's going to be suprisingly good. All the positive elements from the last ten years will come together. They've got it in them, and I think they're all aware of their legacy.

No, if it sucks we all have to return our Smile sets to the shops!!!!!
Good point!
I bought Summer In Paradise and then Sunflower in the very same week. SIP first!!!! and I still wanted to hear Sunflower! We're all obviously capable of forgiving the Boys in the deepest way.

You could probably increase the odds even further if you gave him a steak while telling him that

And thus we have the inside story of the GIOMH recording sessions ...
Although perhaps it could have been improved with more steaks.

1) We're too lazy
2) No one wants to do it for you.

But I like all those people
s'not about "NO ONE CAN BE ON THIS ALBUM EXCEPT BRIANMIKEALBRUCE", it's just that Jeff's voice is not pleasing to my ears at all and I'm not a fan of how his "JUST HELPIN' OUT U GUYS LOL" thing and being one of Brian's handlers landed him on what will likely be the last Beach Boys album.

It's not about being a jerk. Waltzing in on a thread completely unrelated to what you want and asking for it is annoying.
