"Blondie would like everyone to know that contrary to what you have read or heard he is NOT going out on tour with the Beach Boys"

Maybe he's joining them for a few local gigs, but not "going out on tour" as in "travelling the world".

Jesus, you just don't learn, do you ? Hopefully, none of your nearest and dearest ever develop Altzheimers. Even as a joke, that's in exceedingly poor taste. You got any medical condition I can make a dumbass joke about ? C'mon, I want to know - ya got herpes, AIDS, premature ejaculation ?

That would be too rude, but I can't say that this is a tasteful remark, Kokono.

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.

Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.

Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story

Thomasogg was before my time, but I think he was a Dennista and claimed everyone else in the band were jerks. A unique perspective....

As outie, have no idea.

Not all that unique. I've met a whole bunch of DW fans who REALLY dislike the BB's.

I had actually thought, "wait, he's not talking about the alzheimer's, is he?" I thought there was some other excuse I hadn't heard about lol.

Well, I guess we can strike "Sail on Sailor" from the setlist…

Maybe one for David.

Aside from being perfect to cover a Dennis lead, any others spring to mind?

Who sings Sail On Sailor in Brian's band? Is he touring with the Beach Boys?

Hinsche and Figueroa sing a good Sail On Sailor. Dave could probably sig it with some soul.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Scott Bennett sings it in the BW band, but I'd wager they give it to Dave.

It's another thing when they tour solo/with their individual act, but on this tour I want every leadvocal to be sung by a Beach Boy. That includes "Don't worry baby", Brian just doesn't have to use falsetto and sing in a lower voice (not necessarily a lower key)

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.

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 would sound very off if Brian sung it several octaves lower while still keeping it in the original key.  The only way for it too have a close enough vocal to the original is to lower the key several notches so the singer can hit those falsetto notes with ease.

I think the original is in E. He can sing an octave lower than the recording. Don't think that would sound too bad. Just no falsetto. It doesn't have to sound like the record.
