From Brian's facebook:



I see kettle drums. Wouldn't It Be Nice?

Good spotting, bad interpretation. Now we are 100% certain that they will perform 'Kokomo'.

Well... why not?

Because... they aren't.

This is complete BS.  Who or what the eff are "Foster the People" and "Maroon 5" and why do I care?  Isn't Foster's an Auzzie beer and Maroon 5 a sci fi flick?

BS

Amen brother. BULL SH*T. Screw everything that has anything to do with the Grammy's, now and forever. Even all these dumb threads about the Grammy's....which I am only posting on just this once to highlight exactly how much BULLSH*T the Grammy's are.

Yes, it will play in the background whilst Mike "roasts" Maroon 5. He hasn't forgiven them for Moves Like Jagger. There's no way Jagger, or Macca, or any of them could get on stage and Move Like Mike. I'm thinking the actions he used to do to Fun Fun Fun, which he still did when dressed in his white robes and 3 foot beard.

His speech will be the highlight of the Grammys.

Mike, we're all rooting for you. Keep fasting, we've got all the OJ you need!

I'd like to see Maroon 5 and "Fosters Lager" do HALF as many shows as the Beach Boys did in 2011.  I'd like to see them get on stage right now and see who could play Light My Fire the loudest........

(sorry I will take a pill now)

For all of you that are all amped up and angry about this, check out the other two Grammy threads.  Believe me, your minds will change.

Worse still!

All the performances will take place away from the ceremony itself, in a tented space that will hold up to 1,000 fans.

....sorry if it was mentioned on another grammy thread.

The performance will be in a tent?  WTF?

Maybe "in a van down by the river"....??!!!???

Maybe Brian was in the process of covering the entire ceremony hall with sports mats when it was decided to move the BBs out of the building into a tent.

I'm sure it will be a bit more than just a tent, probably a million dollar tent made of gold or something

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.

That set of photos confirms that Surfer Girl will be one of the songs, and Maroon 5 will be singing it. Let the backlash begin?

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

I think it's f*cking fantastic. They're taking two VERY popular bands and making them participate in BEACH BOYS songs. That in itself is all the respect I can ask the Grammy's to realistically give to the band.

I'm happy to see the Beach Boys playing again, even if it's with another band.  I think  a medley is a great idea.

I realize it's beating a dead horse in a way, but can someone please explain to me what Adam Levine or Maroon 5 can add to the Beach Boys lineup shown in the rehearsal photos?

At least pick a f*cking band whose sound reflects at least a slight Beach Boys influence, rather than a band who sounds like they wore out more Whitney Houston or New Kids On The Block records than Beach Boys albums. Oh wait, you can't wear out an mp3...my bad. Smiley

Hey, by the way, are there any group vocal harmonies on Maroon 5 records? I've played about a dozen of them on guitar through the years...none stand out with vocal harmonies. The KEY component of the Beach Boys sound isn't even in the Maroon 5 universe. I don't mind a few of their hits, they're catchy enough pop, but why them and the Beach Boys?

Foster The People had an insanely catchy single last year, nothing earth-shattering but one which sticks in your mind for weeks. I don't have as much of a problem with them, because it isn't all Hollywood glitz and f*cking fashion shows with their lead singer, but even there I can't see their immediate connection to the Beach Boys or their music.

It appears that whoever said they would be performing in a tent is mistaken.  That ain't no tent.

No, take a look at the photos on Wireimage.  That's the Staples Center.

I'm no particular Maroon 5 fan but Levine's voice can certainly handle Surfer Girl and maybe the Boys are providing the BVs for the other groups. Love Foster The People with their subversive poppy songs with lyrics about school shootings, being tied to chairs, and such.
