Al Jardine says there's a BAD conflict w/Mike. Aka: The welcome back AGD thread

[SMiLE Brian]

All this talk about Mike wanting to be alone with Brian ... alone ... together ... in a room?

Does it strike anyone else as a little bit creepy? Just asking ...

Only if Mike requests smooth jazz playing in the room and a certain type of body lotion and Brian atop the piano in only speedos like...... Oh, nevermind. The "together in a room" thing is highly metaphorical!

Isn't the idea of Brian, Mike, AND Joe Thomas alone in a room even more creepy???

Fear the mullet

[Nicko1234]

if Al didn't have so much pride...... the only other thing that would make sense..... is if Al and Dave went with Mike and Bruce, and continued as
The Beach Boys, and let Brian do his thing.....
It doesn't seem Dave would be too fussed either way, he seems a pretty cool cucumber.....

That would seem feasible to me...

RickB

Why would Mike want that?

DrBeachBoy --

To clarify what I do. I write a syndicated feed that goes out to thousands of stations across North America. It is written primarily for DJ's to read on the air -- much like an interactive AP wire.
Some affiliates enjoy the "Side Notes," "Fast Facts" and "Ask Your Listeners" pieces written specifically for the jocks that they include them -- and audio -- for their web content, too.

Classic Rock radio news talks about TONS of bands you never hear played -- the Beach Boys being one of many.
FYI: Philly is one of a half-dozen East Coast Beach Boy strongholds in the country. Tremendous fan-base.
Classic Rock radio SOLD both the BWPS LP and its tour dates.
Never heard a single track from the album on the air.

Rock radio has many functions. Spinning Doobie Brothers hits is but one of them.

I write about Deep Purple, too. And when I do I write as though I'm talking to THEIR fan-base as well.

Don't worry too much about the doctor. He likes to prescribe chill pills to everyone here but refuses to take any himself-as you can see by his posts. he's severely sensitive(for a message board, that is) and it appears that he may be on the verge of a slow, shattering breakdown as mYke luHv's picnic band moves toward disintegration.

You need to read posts. You do know how to read, right? I can't be sure, because you surely don't know how to spell. You of all people should never call anyone out for being one-sided. At least I tried to give a reasonable explanation to Howie why I posted what I did. I didn't post to be a smart-ass. He said one thing here, while delivering it a bit differently in his article. If I misunderstood, so be it.  I take it back, you really should listen to your own advice.

I would love to see a 'Big Brother' type of TV show with all five Beach Boys locked in a (beach) house with their instruments and forced to write songs before they could get out. Great reality TV? There are other bands that could do that show.

Listen. If these guys can't sit down and write songs in true peace and harmony then why force it? Maybe Mike is being sincere with his request that he and Brian sit in a room together alone. Just like the old days? Maybe. I wish it could happen.

After seeing Brian, Al, and David in concert, yeah, they deserve to be called THE BEACH BOYS.

[SMiLE Brian]

That show is a great idea!

[Nicko1234]

After seeing Brian, Al, and David in concert, yeah, they deserve to be called THE BEACH BOYS.

I don't think the quality of the performances of the two groups matters in that respect though. It's all about the legalities...

Yeah, you fleshed it out with Howie. That's just OSD doin his comedy shtick.

Ironically,  there are several Radio promo video shots with just Mike and Brian in a control room.

Why would Mike want that?

well, if Mikie had Alan and Dave on side, that would give more weight to Mike with having 'original' Beach Boys with him......
it would be THEM against Brian and his people......... which would make Bri look like the bad ass for not joining the rest...
Mike's version would then have more pull as to who are 'The Beach Boys'.

New music from Brian about Mike. Don't know how I missed this:

It doesn't seem that Mike needs any more pull though. He is already selling tickets without Al or David so wouldn't want to pay them (or include Al as they obviously don't get on).

And I haven't heard anything about Brian maybe voting to try to revoke Mike's license at all.

As I don't think the C50 tour was ever going to be sustainable I think it would have been great if those 4 guys could have toured with Scott T, Randall, Bonhomme and Cowsill as an 8 piece band while Brian worked in the studio. But there was never any realistic chance of that happening.

[bringahorseinhere?]

yeah man..... its all a mess, I agree with what your saying......

actually, if the guys wanted to all work together properly, the ideal way would be to do it the way they had been since 65...

let Brian stay home, write and produce, with and without Mike, and Brian can appear as he wanted to with the rest of the guys when he felt fit too.....

but, that's in a dream world, I know......... the reality is a LOT different......

It would have been interesting to know what would be happening if Carl was still with us...... how that would effect the situation(s)..?.....

These videos are earthshaking insights into the luv-hate relationship between Brian and Mike.

Mike doesn't need them to pass his band off as the Beach Boys, so why bother paying them when he can pay sidemen less?

If something were to happen with Bruce, then he would need one of them.

Yeah but only one of them would be able to deliver a Beach Boys album ...

(yes I know the legalities and the why's and why not's ... I'm mean only one of them would be capable of doing it)

[Alex]

Does the license allow more than one group to use the Beach Boys name, or does Mike hold it exclusively?

[Nicko1234]

Does the license allow more than one group to use the Beach Boys name, or does Mike hold it exclusively?

He holds it exclusively I believe.

[SurfRiderHawaii]

Does the license allow more than one group to use the Beach Boys name, or does Mike hold it exclusively?

We may soon find out more if things are indeed heating up.
