Everyone back together for a Beach Boys Q&A for Sirius XM?

[Tony S]

Doubt if this is anything more than just a plug for Siruius and the new album. Can't see Melinda being in favor of another reunion tour with ML at this point, as well as touring with Jeff again, hard feelings or not. Could be a train wreck, not needed at this point in time for Brian.

Brian, Al, or Blondie (and Matt) most likely don't need that bullshit at this stage in the game.

Another point to consider is how Mike for the better part of the past 5 years has had not much good to say about the 50th reunion experience. Not even rehashing or kicking the dead horse over the reasons why it didn't continue in 2012, but so much of the focus is on the other members' willingness to reunite now while fans have read and heard multiple revisions, changes, and backpedaling from Mike himself as to the reasons why he went back to his "lean and mean" M&B touring operation versus doing more shows with Brian-Al-David...From all of that, does it sound like Mike had a good experience with the 50th tour and album? So why would *he* now be so eager to get back together if that's what some fans are suggesting, if his experience was as negative as he's been saying for 5 years?

I would think that this event, in and of itself, is as people have mentioned more to promote the Sirius and RPO projects.
However, assuming Schilling is driving the bus here, and he is getting all members of the band to participate, one might be somewhat optimistic that he may be leading them down a path of future collaboration.

I'm amazed Melinda is allowing Brian to do this.....my guess is, this was just done for publicity for the SiriusXM Channel, and the current album. No tour is coming, no new album, no performance at the event.

For a channel that will only be around for the Summer, it seems like typical Beach Boys timing to promote it at the end.

I'm here getting all excited for a reunion and you guys kill my excitement

Where I live, summer lasts a whole 'nother month, and then some (even if you're only counting 'til Labor Day)...

And then there were fans like me who didn’t like his voice or his penchant for singing over Brian before he even left to join up with Mike .

singing over Brian?

[RangeRoverA1]

Of course it didn't help his popularity when he left Jesus Christ (Brian Wilson) to go work for Satan (Mike Love).

By this bizarre logic, Jeff went to hell.

[astroray]

Are we gonna have a crack Smiley Smile correspondent on the scene at Capitol records for the meeting this afternoon?

[Rocker]

I hope we'll get some pictures before the airing. Don't want to wait until August 10th or even later. It'd be cool to add a third one to these "21st century Beach Boys" group shots:

singing over Brian?

Uh, yes. Excuse me, “doubling “.  I always hated when him and Brian would sing the same parts, because they’d almost never blend well and would almost invariably both be off key (and usually Foskett would be much louder). The current set up works much better.

[Emdeeh]

There's a thread on bw.com to select a question to ask Brian at today's gathering.

I'm sure the Powers That Be thought this was a good idea at the time; you never know which Brian is going to show up on any given day. If the Brian that is terrified of being on stage shows up, you simply mix his voice down and bring up Jeffrey.

Why is Rob Reiner moderating ?

I'm sorry but the stripe shirts are lame

[RubberSoul13]

Well if that doesn't illustrate division, I don't know what does.

This is VERY weird.

[HeyJude]

It's possible they're still at dress rehearsal stage, but yeah, weird dress code mismatch...
