"The Fragile Beach Boys Reunion" - Rolling Stone Magazine

[Justin]

Heads up for the new RS magazine:

[Ron]

#STILL WINNING

[Wirestone]

Well, that looks ominous.

[ArchStanton]

Could've given them the cover over that joke Charlie Sheen.

[Landlocked]

Ditto. I understand the world doesn't revolve around the Beach Boys, but come on...the Boys have a much more successful tour going on than Charlie's "Torpedo of Truth" was.

[MBE]

Yeah he's a nothing

[donald]

not fragile for 70

[Doo Dah]

Oh goody. Maybe there'll be some dirt. Maybe there'll be some he said - he said.

[Zach95]

Man, why is this magazine so obnoxious. What are they going to say now? From all accounts, this reunion is going damn well near perfect and is enormously successful.

[John Manning]

Maybe it means "Reunion of the fragile Beach Boys" rather than "the Beach Boys' fragile reunion".

But let's knock the obnoxious mag first, then read the ominous obnoxious dirt when it's ominously available.

(Why is there no apostrophe in "John Mayer s Regrets"?  Illiterate obnoxious b*st*rds!!!!!)

Adam Lambert's "dance music" album received better reviews from Rolling Stone than TWGMTR. Need I say more?

What? Dude was banging 7 gram rocks.

Oh I see. That explains everything.

It does. Go and listen to that and tell me what you think.

[John Manning]

I think we should both (all!) read the Rolling Stone article that the thread's about and not worry about reviews, which represent the individual opinions of their respective authors.

[rab2591]

Oh Christ. So I have THAT to look forward to seeing when I open my mailbox.

I love how 8 out 10 times their feature article has NOTHING to do with music.

[jeffcdo]

So no thoughts on the actual article?!  I thought it was really well done, probably the best one yet in conjunction with this reunion.  It gives some real insight into the tour.  Brian's conversation on the plane is a classic.

[Justin]

It hasn't hit the shelves yet nor has it been posted online as of yet.  If you can post a scan that would be great.

[jeffcdo]

Happy to post a scan, will the moderators jump on me for that tho??

[Wirestone]

No one's watching. Move!

[Lowbacca]

Yeah dude, come on!

[Zach95]

Go! Go! Go!

Peer pressure at its finest.

[Justin]

Just got the issue in the mail.  A fantastic picture of the guys at a diner eating lunch.  Read the first page and it's quite good so far.

Just remembered that any scans of the article posted would automatically be scaled down when it's posted.  Hopefully jeffcdo can give it a try but I recall trying many times in the past to post large images only to find it scaled down to a much smaller size after I click "Post"  Not sure any images/scans posted would be readable.   

[Wirestone]

Deeply impressive piece. This and the Newsweek article are the two about the reunion you need to read.

Let's just say that Mike is not going to have many new fans in boardland after this one, though.

[Justin]

Finished the article and it's really the best "inside look" we're going to get into the tour and getting a sneak peak between Brian and Mike off stage.  Some great reporting done here.  Everyone should try seeking it out, hopefully it's making it's way to stores. 

Not sure what you're referring to, Wirestone, about the ani-Mike reaction?  Is it regarding his comments about Brian's health?  His reaction to adding new songs to the set?
