As for David Marks, I certainly wasn't meaning to belittle him by the comparison I was making. For the record, yes, I'm British, and a generation younger than Jon. I got into the band through Pet Sounds after the Mojo piece in 1995, but it must have been a good three years after I became a fan before I heard any songs David was on other than Surfin' Safari, 409, In My Room and Surfer Girl -- I didn't get the early albums until long after I'd already got everything from 1965 through 1996, although I got the GV box in 98. I think it's great that he's finally getting the recognition he is so long overdue, I think he's a very good guitarist, and the one time I met him he seemed like a lovely person, but he isn't on any of the stuff that made me a fan.
And that's a perfect bridge back to the subject of this thread, because for millions of first generation Beach Boys fans...since Bruce isn't on the '62 - '64 material that initially made them fans he does not feel like an "original" Beach Boy.

The early stuff through Summer Days will always be my favorite stuff, therefore David is a God!

Problem is you didn't read thee thread.

It was a facetious question. Everyone on this site knows Bruce isn't sn orig BB.

The point is Mike is promoting Bruce as an original Beach Boy on his web site.

Does anyone remember that video someone posted a while back where Bruce makes a daring leap during (I think) a C50 performance of "I Get Around"Huh

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Bruce is the perfect example of an all-round entertainer..

Not only can he knock out a cheesy ballad  but he's doing high flying stunts too

According to someone who would know.

Seriously, there was a Beach Boys Love You condom?!  Amazing.

2013, and Bruce is still a new member? If 1965 is the cut off (no pun intended, Bruce), then the Byrds and the Lovin' Spoonful are still new groups.

All the Bruce bashers need to eat their words with a fork and spoon as this video clearly shows he doesn't "just clap his hands and adjust his mic endlessly" at concerts........ he also randomly jumps around Mike when the urge takes him.

I'm still trying to figure out what Bruce is doing. Trying to tie his antics into the song......"None of the guys go steady 'cause it wouldn't be right, to leave their best girls home on a Saturday night"........Bruce runs up to Mike and Mike holds his hand up to ward him away. Like playfully saying.......back off. Can't really tie his jumping around to the song lyrics. Then he goes back behind the keyboard to stand around and adjust his mic. Maybe Bruce is just estatic knowing it's pay day and he can knock back a Pacifico after the gig and talk to the press about how his boy John Boehner is doing these days. He knows that there's keyboardists behind him playing the real chords turned up in the mix and he doesn't have to do sh*t.

Clap clap clap clap. Smile smile smile smile. Wave wave wave wave.

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!!

Update Bruce is still and original member of Bruce and Terry; and a real Beach Boy.

And I still wonder what happened to that solo album he talked about on the BBB like 6 years ago.  
Supposed to be, if I recall, simple demo like songs he's written.  I'd buy it.

ps - Trying to move down the "Rank the Tracks" explosion.
