Title: What instrument does each Beach Boy's voice sound like to you? Post by: Don_Zabu on July 29, 2011, 12:36:58 PM Just for fun. For example:
Brian = Flute Carl = Hammond organ Dennis = Honky tonk piano Mike = Saxophone Al = Fiddle Bruce = Piccolo Title: Re: What instrument does each Beach Boy's voice sound like to you? Post by: stack-o-tracks on July 29, 2011, 12:53:24 PM I'm afraid the answer for all 6 of them for me would be vocal cords. :hat
And maybe a car horn for Mike & gravel for late 70s Brian. Title: Re: What instrument does each Beach Boy's voice sound like to you? Post by: Musketeer on July 29, 2011, 05:28:50 PM Al= trumpet
Title: Re: What instrument does each Beach Boy's voice sound like to you? Post by: metal flake paint on July 29, 2011, 07:55:10 PM I've always liked Eric Carmen's analogy which, from memory, goes something like:
Mike = Baritone Sax Carl = Al = Trumpet Brian = Dennis = Trombone Just saw the complete quote in Phonograph magazine, hence the corrections. Title: Re: What instrument does each Beach Boy's voice sound like to you? Post by: rab2591 on July 29, 2011, 08:17:20 PM Carl Wilson - Violin
Brian Wilson - Flute Dennis Wilson - Cello Al Jardine - ^ have to agree with the trumpet Mike Love - Clavichord Title: Re: What instrument does each Beach Boy's voice sound like to you? Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on July 29, 2011, 11:10:29 PM Brian - Therimin

Post by: dmcguire70 on August 01, 2011, 01:32:41 AM I can think of an instrument which sounds almost exactly like Brian's voice,
The Hulusi (Chinese flute) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLHoipQtUf8 |
