A new version of God only knows on some new comp which also includes the new Bacharach/Brian song- strange!:

Interesting. Brian sounds really good. The fake harpsichord bugged me but other than that it sounded very faithful to the original.
Can't wait to hear the final version of "What Love Can Do".

I can't seem to play it. Maybe it's my crappy comp with Windows 98...

Not bad, I'm pretty impressed with how good he sounds here.

Hm, I'd like to hear the whole song rather than just a small clip but not bad, nowhere near as good as the original obviously. The last "God Only Knows what I'd be without you" line where it cuts off after "God Only Knows", sounds like Bruce Johnston. I know it's not, but sounds similar.

You're right, it does sound like Bruce. The only thing though is that he couldn't possibly use the original track (or any part of the original song) without going through lots of legal red tape. I think the band just did a great job re-creating the sound of the original record.

I don't know what they did to get Brian to sound like that and I don't care. If Brian can still sing like he did on that short clip, there's still hope!

This is one weird clip of music. Brian sounds absolutey great, great to the point to where I'm doubting it a little. The last 3 seconds or so have part of the 1966 version "flown in". I am certain of it. Bruce is in there, along with the original backing track. Its only the last 3 seconds or so that have this, though, the rest is Brian's band.

I agree that the harpsichord is annoying, but don't understand how anyone can hear Bruce in there, and there's certainly none of the original version in there either...
Someone who sounds like Darian is in there, and you can here (and see) Jeff, but this is all remake with the current band, no mistake.

at the 10-second mark, they show a dude in a white ball cap from a distance who i thought might be Bruce.
upon review, i think they just threw the original tag on for the last second or two. Bruce and Hal Blaine's drumming are unmistakable.

Yeah! I thought it looked like Bruce too! But no way, dude, is any of it old GOK! I know what you man about the tiny snatch of Bruce, but I bet if we heard a bit more of the track it would sound less like him... Or hell! Maybe it really does feature the current craggy B Johnston!

I think Brian shouldn't re-record his own Beach Boys classics.

I don't like him re-recording his old stuff neither, but here it's part of the concept (one old, one new).
I don't like the fake-harpsichord and Jeff Foskett is awfully out of tune at at least one note in the end. That shouldn't be in a finished master imo....
Brian sounds strong though. I am looking forward to "What love can do".

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

If Jeff is out of tune but Brian sounds great, well then, maybe they didn't manipulate Brian's vocal that much. I mean, wouldn't they have done the same with Jeff's?
You know, Brian has been sounding pretty great lately for his age. I think his voice is an amazing instrument that changes according to his emotional state.

The music sounds like a new take to me, but the last God Only Knows dóes sound very Bruce-ish..... I just wish Brian would put out some new music instead of rehashes of old stuff - but don't we all

Brian's voice is problably Pro Tooled...but the timbre of his voice sounds so good I don't even care. Beautiful sound. I can't wait to hear the full version.

To lay these rumours to rest, this is a 100% new recording of GOK performed by Brian and his band.

Ah, but Mark, rumors never die on this board. We don't take the truth from authorities--we make up our own. I suspect we'll be hearing forevermore that BW and his band used the PS version...
