Hi Brian!! Happy 2015! Wow I can't wait for all the exciting things you have in store for us this year! I'm super psyched about the new album and the movie. Thanks for all the previous years too! Thank you for the autographed poster back in 2009, it's been on my wall ever since.

Brian, you wonderful man. Thank you, so much, for all the wonderful music over the years.

Brian, do you recall the words you once sang on the sessions of "Can't Wait Too Long"?

No matter if you don't. May 2015 be a wonderful year for you and yours!

Title: Re: Hi from Brian
Post by: Lee Marshall on January 19, 2015, 01:48:20 PM
So I went to send Brian a personal message...but I guess he blocked that option off...so I'll print my private message here where at least there is the thinnest and tiniest chance that he MIGHT see it or at least hear of it...or of a bunch of messages of a similar ilk...because I believe this type of input is GOOD for him to 'feel'... ... ...

Between the new album which I'm told you've put your heart and soul into, the new movie, and the book...2015 should be one excellent year for you.  I hope it is...because Brian...since 1963 and Surfin USA right up 'til now...You've given me almost 52 excellent years...thanks to your inspiring and entertaining body of work.  I hear the love.  It's been great for my soul.

Simply put...It's YOUR turn.  8)

Hey Brian! Excited about the movie and the album! As a young fan in the late 90s, I never thought I'd get to see you in concert. Now I've seen you 3 times! Plus all your great solo albums! Thank you for your hard work. I know touring can be a drag sometimes, but we appreciate it when you do! :)

Without knowing...I would guess it was Michael DeMartin...Brian's Super Moderator over at the blue board.  Michael just had Brian post over there and logged in for 15-20 minutes to check the place out after they posted here.

I remember back in the day when Brian used to drop by over there and actually Answer questions and shoot the breeze for half an hour or so.  Good times.  Folks over there went just as nutty as we have here today.  Good stuff. :hat

I might be alone in hoping that one aspect of this news is the Mike and Bruce are previously unannounced guest vocalists on NPP. If not this album, then the next. The Beach Boys are too good for this not to happen occasionally; the fans would go into meltdown… well, some of us ;D

Loving the contemporary collaborations by the way; in a way it was always thus.

Be happy!

I wonder if Brian's Mom had a pet-name for him when he was just a little fella? ???

I had a pal...Grant Taylor...and I found out one day when we were maybe 12 or so that his Mom culled him "Cuddles" :lol :lol :lol  She didn't know i was with him and called him from the kitchen..."Cuddles...come here for a minute sweetie."  Cuddles?  :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol  I almost wet my pants. :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Now maybe...just maybe...Audree used to call Brian 'Cuddles'...or something equally 'nice'.  >:D

I'd vote for THAT. ;)

Til I Die - ah yes - how direct simplicity and honesty, from the heart (not easy to do) normally makes the best poetry..That song was perfect in every single way...

So true -  undoubted simplicity but so many layers of it, so many ways to read it and like the best lyrics, it didn't distract at all from the music.

I Wish it was really Brian  :lol

I doubt he even goes on the internet  :-\

It was.  He had a little assistance...just to make sure it worked...'cause I think Brian's pretty much an 'analog man'...but Brian was there when that post happened.  Guaranteed.  Same over on the Blue Board.  I watched it happen.  Brian Wilson is marketing his next 'thing'.  Good on 'im.
---------------------

By the way...I've had dialogue with Brian on-line in the past.  He used to do it fairly frequently.  But that was like 10 years ago...MORE.  I can also tell when someone else is doing 'it' instead of him...yet claiming to be him.  It's as obvious as a Mike Love shirt.

---------------------

You know what else today's posts here and at the 'bluey' say?

No Pier Pressure is EXTREMELY important to Brian.  He DID put his heart and soul into this album.  It matters to him BIG TIME and he wants us to know it. :hat

I hope so.

I like the idea of Brian knowing places like this exist, places built around his music and his life.

He knows.  He doesn't live it on a daily basis...but he knows...and he has people who keep him abreast of what's happening.  Like his wife for example.  I sat beside her at a Smile show in Montreal.  She CARES man.  She really cares.  And she cares...in person.

We actually used to chat with him on-line.  Someone else would type for him but he'd answer questions and respond to comments.  That was pretty much before BWPS.  After that...not so much...and then...nothing.  And then there's now.  THIS is important to him

I can remember Brian posting on one of the Usenet groups, maybe 14 or 15 years ago.

"Thee Honored Guest"--I like that.

Still making great music at seventy-two.

For real though, this is the greatest day on the Smiley board since BarryDavidThompson said:
My first Manson wrote listen a very beutifull song sung by one Willium Axl Rose . A song called look at your game girl. Axl in fact became completley obsessed with manson. He wore a shirt very often with various masnon themed frazes, ie charlie dont surf!

Fair enough, he was very fkd up.

But, he did have a very eatherel sence of song. A song that only, in my mind, has no fear. He, and in every sence of the word had balls. His was a world of confusion, but his lyrics speak out to me.

Bottom line though, FUM HIM THE MOURDOROUS BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Praise him and you are as bad as I am!

Im in no way religious, infact I hate the whole god fad. But I still feel like Ive sined for praising MANSON.



Cheers


Barry

There was a brit comedian called Tony Hancock years ago but I'm not familiar with his humor.

How about something like 'If you don't know, you shouldn't be here!' :lol


Well, we know Mike pays attention to some things we post...

Hi Brian and team,

Great to see band members on here interacting with fans a bit. More of it please! I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for the heavenly tune that is Time To Get Alone. My favourite song ever and it always soothes my baby when he's crying! I guess he heard it so many times in the womb!

Good luck with No Pier Pressure and hope to see you in the UK.

I'm very much looking forward to No Pier Pressure and I hope to one day hear the rest of your "Life Suite" tracks, as well.  The songs included from the suite which appeared on That's Why God Made the Radio were absolutely stellar!

Thanks again for dropping by.  I hope you enjoy your stay here at the forum and that maybe you'll even consider sharing some more thoughts with us from time to time. :)

So, would anybody go ahead and make Brian his own SmileySmile-picture, please?

Hi it's Brian. Just wanted to say hi. Exciting news soon. Love & Mercy.
Geez people, it was just an advertisement for a future "news on the album" release. You guys are acting like a bunch of little school girls. ;)

I'm hoping that if Brian and I are posting at the same time and our posts cross in the ether, my bald patch will be cured.

Hi John, Hey, they actually have stuff that you can rub on there to cure that bald patch.  Now, had Brian written back just once in the 7 pages since, I'd then say this was all worth the effort. But I suppose it is all in fun.

Because he really needs to advertise his new album to his most hardcore fans on the net, right?  ;D
Well, what other secret message did you glean from the message?

"Just wanted to say hi."

Damn, am I gonna need Scooby Doo for this groovy mystery?  :hat
Oh yeah, after all the years that this board has been around, he now decides to say "Hi"? Right before an announcement. I see.

I hear you drbeachboy. He does tend to visit his own site only when something needs to be promoted.

Can someone confirm my memory that he visited the Ego Board as well....Once! :lol

The more things change( the more they stay the same) 
 Brian has one of his people post a hello to the board, promising the same thing that's been promised already, that we are all aware of, then doesn't post again, and the world has turned upside down, because, OHMYGODIT"SBRIAN? 

Just as likely it's the BrianWilson.com administrator....


Title: Re: Hi from Brian

It's obviously not Brian, but it's been said by people in the know that Brian has at least some part to play in these posts.

It's a really nice acknowledgement from Brians camp to us. No need to be so negative.

Some people are never happy.

What, does he have to comment on every thread with deeply personal information to please you? The Man who made most of the music that's brought us here acknowledged and joined the board. Can't we just put aside our own petty feuds just for this thread and say hi back to him? Just one nice thread he can look at and see his fans without any douchebaggary?

For the record, the post was simple and sincere enough that I could actually see him writing it.

Certainly. Brian pays for his webpage and pays his people to drum up publicity. No harm in that. And if everyposter on this board wants to chime in about how great it is to finally receive an official post from someone in Brian's employ, that's also splendid.

Call me hopeful, call me naive, but yeah. Not like it takes long to breeze through, especially when it's all short "thanks for the music!" type posts. Even if it isn't, I'm sure he's looking at a page or two. Considering his age, his continued dedication to his craft, his children, etc, it's pretty damn cool to think he knows about us and cares enough to acknowledge the place with his presence at all. Not sure why some of you insist on ruining the spirit of things and intended goodwill from Brian or at least "his people" by being so pedantic about it.

Just...unwind. enjoy life.

2bossaroo: I liked the orange picture; for a sec or 2, I thought it's Carl, tho. Kinda same piercing gaze, or Idk what it's called. Anyhoo, welcome aboard, Brian! You know we love you. If you didn't write any lyrics - not a loss. The music is more important than just some words in a song anyway. And the music you created is absolutely great, goofy, ethereal, uptempo, whatever. Enjoy your time with the fam, come around here when you'd like to AND OF COURSE, good luck with your upcoming events!
Oh, and Happy Christmas & New Year wishes from Russia!

He knows.  He doesn't live it on a daily basis...but he knows...and he has people who keep him abreast of what's happening.  Like his wife for example.  I sat beside her at a Smile show in Montreal.  She CARES man.  She really cares.  And she cares...in person.

We actually used to chat with him on-line.  Someone else would type for him but he'd answer questions and respond to comments.  That was pretty much before BWPS.  After that...not so much...and then...nothing.  And then there's now.  THIS is important to him

Cool.  I was at the Montreal smile concert too.
