Darian seems to me like about the only guy in the BB/BW-history who is really a hero without any signs of a villain. He helped Brian to go on tours. He also played a big role in saving him from Joe Thomas. And he lived the ultimate fanboy-dream: He helped Brian to finish SMiLE. And he has damn great hair!

Darian is just an all-round cool dude. In 1988, he was too shy to talk to Brian at the Stomp convention: twenty-one years later...

This little anecdote tells you pretty much all you need to know about DS: backstage on the 2005 UK tour, he was talking with a group of fans... in comes Sharkey to tell him the tourbus is leaving soon. Sharkey does this about five more times, each with increasing asperity. Finally, DS turns to him and says "hey man, I'm talking with my friends, OK ?". Not 'these people', not 'some fans' - "my friends". The man is a true star, without the least sign of ego. (Probyn's exactly the same... in fact all of Brian's band are truly nice people who will go out of their way for the likes of us)

I hate him.

Stole the hair from me avatar, and swore at me when I threw a carrot at the stage during "Vegetables"...

It´s very obvious that he stole his hair from this guy:




Plus, I recently found out that he is a huge Kubrick-fan. Another reason for me to become gay and marry him.  Grin

I should add a disclaimer, incase I get attacked by the "Darianistas"...

I hit him with the carrot, not deliberately (though it was a poor throw, I was aiming for that Liszik hack), and certainly not hard enough to warrant a mouthed 'f*** you'.

Hell of a nice guy, hell of a musician...but mostly hell of a nice guy.  And he appreciates what the universe has presented him in terms of his involvement with Brian; no ego, no sense of entitlement...just gratefulness.  You've gotta love a guy who "gets it."

He sent an email to me on myspace and thanked me for having The Wondermints all over the profile. He also said I had "good taste in music for a youngin'"  Cool That deserves SERIOUS kudos  Grin Grin

A fine pop songwriter in his own right (and I really wish that more Brian/BB fans were more hip to Darian and Wondermints).

A true musical perfectionist (ask Brian Wilson about that one).

A fine human being.

It's about time he got his own Appreciation Thread, dammit!

A hugely talented individual. An all-around great guy. Someone who calls the fans his friends is a damn good person. Kudos to him.

Yes, a real hero in the Brian Wilson story.  Talented, egoless and commited to the cause.  Top man.

Bad bad bad idea. Smart fellow he is, Darian wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Almost. Maciej Lampe is a tad under 7 feet tall...if you can call him "in the NBA."

I alked to Darian a coupla times, really one of the coolest guys ever, and what I really like is the fact that for him working with BW is so magical. He makes you feels that its Chrismas everyday. And he too is SMiLE after all!

Another parallel between Darian and Carl.

A point of divergence, perhaps.

Would Darian leave Dennis songs off of albums though...?

I think Carl had OK hair.

A) Is Carl a directly guilty party in that- i.e., do we know he voted against Dennis' songs?  If so, disappointing, but also interesting.

B) I'm certainly no critic of Carl's hair, but comparing it to Darian's would be like comparing his fine guitar playing to Hendrix', or his tongue to Gene Simmons', or his forehead to Al Jardine's. Darian's hair made the Entertainment Weekly Hollywood Power List for 2004 at #56 and was recently invited to the White House (the twins wanted to meet it).  Now on chest hair I would rate Darian and Carl a push.

Not exactly - Carl & Dennis had a set-to over the sequencing of the tracks on Surf's Up, so reportedly Dennis  threw a hissy fit and pulled his tracks from the album. Not entirely sure I go along woth that 100% - sure, "Live Again" was finished (and is magnificent), but "4th Of July" had to be reconstitued for the box set from two, maybe three, saftey copies, and Carl's lead is obviously a scratch vocal. Go figure.

I'll wager Mike wishes he had Darian's hair.

Good information; thanks, Andrew!- I wonder what the sequencing battle was about?  Surf's Up was so close to being another Sunflower...

Hmmm...Mike with Darian's hair...?...Ear Candy, or somebody...make it happen.
