Title: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Awesoman on January 03, 2012, 09:18:08 PM Jardine said there will be some surprises to be had when the 70-year-old "Boys" take the stage at the GRAMMY reunion performance. My guess will be a greatest hits medley (duh) featuring "Do It Again", "California Girls" (with Katy Perry somehow involved...*shudder*), "Good Vibrations" and "Kokomo". Somehow I don't think the GRAMMYs would be the right venue for them to perform something with a little more depth like SMiLE. My guess is that whatever they end up doing, the performance will go either really well or really awful. Here's hoping the former. :-\

Post by: Justin on January 03, 2012, 09:49:07 PM I'm hoping it's short and sweet...much like Simon and Garfunkel's reunion on the Grammy's about 8 years ago. Hopefully, they start off the show and get it out of the way. A short intro from a famous fan worthy of the introduction and then BAM..the opening chords to "California Girls" the crowd sings along and we're out.
If they can restrain from going too overboard...it can also work as the final performance of the night with a longer set of songs..."California Girls" "Surfin' USA" and "Fun, Fun, Fun." A nice party as the show wraps up. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: guitarfool2002 on January 03, 2012, 09:55:26 PM I'll be OK with whatever songs they do - to some degree - as long as there are no surfboards or beachballs on that stage. I'm 100% serious...this is a band whose music can speak for itself without props or a schtick.
Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Summertime Blooz on January 03, 2012, 10:04:44 PM They will probably be joined on stage by younger, more commercially relevant acts- that is what the Grammys like to do. I just hope it's someone more respectable than a Katy Perry. Fleet Foxes would be good.
Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: guitarfool2002 on January 03, 2012, 10:11:17 PM They don't need help with their performances, I'd say. I can't see a group like Fleet Foxes or anyone else adding much to a Beach Boys stage reunion that the BB's couldn't do on their own. It might look a bit too contrived. And I'm going to search for an old bowling ball at a thrift store to have on hand and ready to throw at the screen if they have the BB's with the Glee cast or something along those lines. :-D

They're alright and their connection to the BB would do well for the young demographic but outside of that...I personally wouldn't want too much involvement from them.

Post by: Summertime Blooz on January 04, 2012, 09:01:58 AM Did people start putting Fleet Foxes on their "Good" lists even before they were featured prominently in the documentary on Brian's That Lucky Old Sun DVD? When I named Fleet Foxes as a group that might be good IF the Grammys wanted to pair the BBs with some young blood, I had no idea there was any formal connection between the two (I've never seen the TLOS DVD). It just seemed to me that, having heard some of their stuff, Fleet Foxes were probably Beach Boys fans and might mesh well with them musically. No bandwagon-jumping here. They're alright and their connection to the BB would do well for the young demographic but outside of that...I personally wouldn't want too much involvement from them. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Justin on January 04, 2012, 09:54:44 AM Fair enough.
Out of all the current acts out there they would be the most fitting to join them on stage but I hope they stick with the core band and skip guests join them. If anything...Brian and Al are the special guests of the occasion since they've been absent from the band so long! Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: guitarfool2002 on January 04, 2012, 10:35:50 AM Yeah, I'll say again the core band doesn't need help or a young, hip cache attached to their performance to deliver that performance and let the music stand on its own. And I'll have the bowling ball ready just in case it gets out of hand...
As far as Katy Perry, I don't have a problem with her personally, and if you're into pop music and its production, there is a guy named Dr. Luke who used to play guitar in the Saturday Night Live house band who crafted a lot of her tracks. Put it this way, I'd take Katy Perry *any day* over a pretentious act like Maroon 5 because her music is fun and I don't think she takes it too seriously, again in a good way. Just curious: Were her pro-Beach Boys comments on Letterman before or after she was sued by Mike? :-D Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Mr. Wilson on January 04, 2012, 10:37:21 AM I agree with Justin ..No guests

Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Justin on January 04, 2012, 10:41:51 AM Yeah, I'll say again the core band doesn't need help or a young, hip cache attached to their performance to deliver that performance and let the music stand on its own. Absolutely. I can totally see it now. The audience will be singing along and dancing to "California Girls" or "Barbara Ann"...totally digging the music...and whatever guests they put up there would totally get lost in the shuffle. I'm not saying the BB themselves will outshine anyone at the ceremony (we all know Joe Public would take a Kanye West over a Brian Wilson at the drop of a hat) but even a Kanye or a Katy Perry can't topple the power of those wonderful songs. In the end, the songs will win and outshine anyone on that stage. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

It's like those "jam sessions" they try to concoct which end up sounding pretty bad no matter how many legends are on the stage...overkill.

Should be an interesting mix of fans...hope they get along. No word if Van Dyke Parks will be making an appearance with Skrillex. :-D Funny... my band is auditioning for a spot on that show on the 21st.

Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: JohnMill on January 05, 2012, 08:58:19 PM Say what you will about Katy Perry's music (and I'd be inclined to agree) but she DID name-check the Beach Boys (before The Beatles) as an example of her discovering what REALLY good music was on Letterman a while back! OK, so if this is so, then why is her music such unrelenting sh*t ? She was born in late '84, so her earliest audio memories may include Kokomo or Still Cruisin' :lol Scary isn't it? It blows my mind everytime I hear someone who was born in that era refer to Michael Jackson as being their main inspiration for getting into music. Not taking anything away from Jackson but it is what it is. What is equally (if not more scary) is the generation who grew up listening to the music acts of the late 90s/early 00s (Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys etc.) and comment on their greatness. Quote And for the record, I was never *in favor* of Katy Perry joining the Beach Boys on stage at the GRAMMYs. I just wouldn't be surprised if some "genius" in the GRAMMY department makes the following connection: "Hey, both Katy Perry and the Beach Boys got a song called 'California Girls'...why don't we put 'em both on stage?? Well it would be in The Beach Boys' realm of authority to veto such a collaboration right? The problem is out of all the bands I listen to, they are probably the one group I'd be nervous about bringing someone like Katy Perry on stage with them. I can actually see them doing this unfortunately. Quote Mike should launch into a rant insulting everyone in the audience :lol ...and to cap off this curmudgeonly posting, I will say that I will forget every negative thing I've ever said or thought about Mike Love if he ripped everyone in the audience under thirty-five similar to how he got on The Beatles and The Rolling Stones at the HOF. Seriously he could go down the list one by one. The pop acts, the rap acts, the punk acts. He could spend five minutes on GaGa alone. But they'd probably cut his mic off halfway through.

Post by: Joshilyn Hoisington on January 07, 2012, 07:11:07 AM The stage will darken and a hush will fall across the audience. Suddenly, out of the darkness, an organ sounds, and Brian Wilson's voice emerges, seemingly coming from every direction, singing the first line of Day in the Life of a Tree. A spotlight opens and tracks Brian as he is gently lowered on a wire from the top of the stage. As he alights, the house lights come up a little to reveal that he has landed in front of a giant tree, upon which whose branches the band is stationed. The drums on a far, thick branch, Al Jardine stationed on a near, thinner branch.
An artificial wind is made to continually sweep through the auditorium as the rest of the song is performed, with the different Beach Boys taking turns on the lead. Finally, as the song ends, the lights come up a little more, and a big, old woody pulls up under the tree. The Beach Boys get in, and perform "Cherry Cherry Coupe" as the whole giant set shifts to a beach scene. There is actual water on stage and people are actually surfing. The Beach Boys get out of the woody, are handed their instruments, and launch into a 20-minute version of Surfin' USA, during which Katy Perry, Thom Yorke, Kanye West, Chris Martin, Daid Crosby, Rod Stewart, Elton John, and Lady Gaga all get to take turns on the lead, listing almost every place in this world where it is possible to surf.

As long as the words "Black Eyed Peas" aren't mentioned after the words "performing next"... :-D
One thing I'd probably not like to see is one of those terrible "all-star" jam session things where all kinds of artists strap on borrowed guitars and play blues licks over something like "Fun Fun Fun".

Both the Music Cares and the Brian Wilson All-Star Tribute DVDs are alright because mainly no one's up there with guitars but it's mainly a group sing a long. In the Music Cares DVD it's fun to see Barenaked Ladies having a great time behind Brian singing the verses to "Fun Fun Fun"...in fact, they're so excited that they jump the gun and come in too early with the repeat background vocals after each verse "you walk like an ace now, you walk like an ace!" Moments like that are pretty cool where you see the guests really having a good time and want to be up there. I don't particularly enjoy it when they're forced up there.

A short presentation of 2-3 picks from their vast catalogue legacy to remind the mainstream/younger audience out there of who the Beach Boys are and what to expect from the tour. They'd do California Girls, I'm sure. Or Do It Again for obvious reasons. Perhaps God Only Knows to give Brian the spotlight. And then conclude with something 'lesser known' for the fans. I guess Paul McCartney could introduce them to the audience, or whatever (dunno how the Grammys work). Oh, and Bruce in shorts would be awesome.

The Beach Boys kick a$$ no matter if McCartney likes them or not Crazy Jardine's getting it again: Al speaks about upcoming reunion and grammys to the Montery County Herald - "We've been commissioned to make an album, kind of like the Pope commissions a piece of art, like Michelangelo's 'Sistine Chapel." Jardine's biggest concern for the band's reunion project is ensuring its completion. "I just hope to finish the damn thing," said Jardine. "It takes The Beach Boys about a year to make an album. Most any other band, it takes them only four to five months." e band began recording an album last year. Jardine said the experience was positive, but a bit incomplete. "We went in (the studio) a couple months ago. It was quite nice. We got some good work done," said Jardine. "Unfortunately, we didn't keep going. We should have kept going. Everything just ground down to a stop." Another confirmed appearance is the Grammy Awards. The band will be recognized as special guests in honor of their anniversary. Jardine said they have yet to decide what their Grammy appearance will consist of. "I'd like to sing an a capella song. A real beautiful jazz tune," he said. "Or maybe 'Surfer Girl.' Something real simple. Just the four or five of us up there." Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

I think that could bring it full circle in a way. A lot of fans are tagged as wanting too much and whining when they don't get it, but doesn't it all come down to the music?

>:D Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Pretty Funky on January 23, 2012, 06:39:04 PM Save the a capella for the concerts IMO. If they get one song at the grammys it could seem a bit oldies.
I can see a comment by Jeff for the 50 gigs about the originals 'not being able to cut it' as a great set- up for Hearts or SG. When they knock it out of the park I have a vision of Mike with his hands on his hips giving 'that look'. Here is a Four Seasons clip. Very well done and The Beach Boys could do something similar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NUILdOKmDY Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Ron on January 23, 2012, 11:52:17 PM I think they could pull off acapella without Carl. I don't think they will though at the Grammys...
I'd LOVE to hear them do the acapella bits like Brian does in songs like "California Girls".... play the song, then at the end drop the music out and sing 16 bars acapella or something, then bring the music back in. That always sounds really fucking cool. On at least the early stuff, the thing about their harmony was the energy and warmth in it, even if everyone of them can't sing as good as they once could, if they give it their all and just SING it'll sound fantastic. Bum notes and all. On that live album they released a few years ago from Hallmark;.... when they break into "Little Deuce Coupe" after Mike does the 'broken down used car' joke... it sounds like this incredible wall of sound... the greatness of it isn't their vocal quality, it's just the excitement, the energy, the warmth and thickness of their voices that makes it sound so cool. They can still do that, no problem. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

Post by: Myk Luhv on January 27, 2012, 11:11:50 AM I don't really dig the a cappella tracks the group has done either. I find them either corny or boring/grating to listen to, or both. I can't put my finger on why, but I think it's the way they're sung -- they always sort of do that thing where they sing in unison, each coming in after the other, and builds up and suddenly dissipates -- and even they kinda sound bored singing it too. It's cool for a portion of the song but for an entire two minutes? Be a little more inventive, please! Their other vocal arrangements don't suffer in the same way, seems to me. I'm thinking mainly of songs like "The Lord's Prayer" or even "We Three Kings..." but also "Their Hearts..." and so on.

Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: jimmy1949 on January 27, 2012, 03:15:23 PM I don't really dig the a cappella tracks the group has done either. I find them either corny or boring/grating to listen to, or both. I can't put my finger on why, but I think it's the way they're sung -- they always sort of do that thing where they sing in unison, each coming in after the other, and builds up and suddenly dissipates -- and even they kinda sound bored singing it too. It's cool for a portion of the song but for an entire two minutes? Be a little more inventive, please! Their other vocal arrangements don't suffer in the same way, seems to me. I'm thinking mainly of songs like "The Lord's Prayer" or even "We Three Kings..." but also "Their Hearts..." and so on. I could not have said it better. ;)Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Paulos on January 27, 2012, 03:35:35 PM I'm astonished at the certain board members showing hatred for the Boys a capella tracks, when the Boys sing a capella you get to hear their amazing blend and technique without any distractions. How anyone who claims to Beach Boys fans could dislike Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring/A Young Man Is Gone, Auld Lang Syne, And Your Dream Comes True and Our Prayer is beyond me. Also, Graduation Day isn't a capella, nor is the vast majority of We Three Kings.

True, but you can't sing "And Your Dreams Come True" with strings and it not be boring. You can't sing "The Lords Prayer" with strings and have it not be boring. They both sound much, much better acapella, and those two particular songs the Beach Boys sang better acapella than anybody's ever sang them otherwise. Bad examples. In the specific case of "The Lords Prayer", I've heard the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (considered one of the greatest in the world) sing it on television... and with 200 voices it didn't sound as good as the Beach Boys with 5.

Everything stemmed from there. Lets respect this guys opinion though, however warped and insane it may be. I'm sure there are many Bob Dylan fans who hate the gravelly voiced tracks, and many Beastie Boys fans who abhor the rapping songs.

Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Justin on February 03, 2012, 10:28:19 AM I really hope their performance is either right at the beginning or at the very, very end...not somewhere in the middle, easily lost in the shuffle. These are legends and deserve the opening slot or the "save the best for last" closing slot.

Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Rocker on February 03, 2012, 12:39:52 PM They might have learned from the last experience.
Maybe it'll be handled as a surprise appearance (although Mr Jardine kinda killed that option :lol ) Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Justin on February 03, 2012, 12:56:33 PM Well if it's supposed to be a "surprise" performance...why would there be promotion?

Personally, I think Mike would be down with doing something crazy like Honkin' down the highway. I honestly think he would play it. Bruce would do whatever anybody wanted him to do. Al would do it no problem. Brian, though, still might not do it. I hope they come out really electric, and just mix up a bunch of crazy sh*t into a medly for about 3 or 4 minutes, then settle into Wouldn't It Be Nice or Don't Worry Baby, or something along those lines that just shows off how fucking AMAZING they were vocally. Start playing California Girls... , switch into "I Get Around"... switch into something insane like "Roller Skating Child" that nobody will understand except die hard fans, go back into "Surfin' USA", then interrupt that with the opening lines of "Dont' Worry Baby" and sing the whole song. Place goes ape sh*t, bring the curtains down, sell the cd's. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Margarita on February 04, 2012, 01:07:31 PM Surprise? There are no surprises anymore. Viewership is down across the board, so they want as much hype as possible to get people to tune in.
In the public consciousness, the BBs as individuals are not beloved enough that people care about seeing them perform together again. Since concerts with "The Beach Boys" name have occurred every year since the dawn of time, most people don't know or care that the original members haven't all performed together in quite some time. I would love to see them do a kick-ass performance of GV, and I hope that really happens. But it's not going to be the showcase moment...not with Adele performing again for the first time since her surgery, and with Paul and Ringo now being on the same broadcast. If any reunion is made much of, it's going to be that one and you know it. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Ron on February 04, 2012, 02:25:35 PM Wait, wait.... Paul and Ringo are both there? Also Adele had surgery? I'm almost as interested in both of those as seeing the boys reunite, this is going to be a good show!

Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Myk Luhv on February 05, 2012, 11:54:47 AM They should do "Take A Load Off Your Feet" then have special guests Van Dyke Parks and Skrillex come out for an orchestrally-arranged extended dubstep remix of "Ding Dang" careening into "Teardrops On My Bed".

Post by: Lowbacca on February 07, 2012, 11:46:10 AM Al implied it was going to be 'huge' which may just mean being the opening act with one song. To Al, a lot of normal-sized things must be 'huge'. Such as only one song at the Grammys. :( We'll see....We will see Sunday! (Damn, can't find a shot of the Jardine standing on a box recording vocals for the new Do It Again....)

Post by: b00ts on February 07, 2012, 12:59:29 PM I'll say it again...don't be disappointed if they do only one song. Only the hottest acts get to do more than one. That's true, but why keep it 'Hush Hush" if they're not going to do something big? Something huge must be up. I think Carl might be there or something. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I think Carl might be there. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Zach95 on February 07, 2012, 03:22:01 PM DO GOOD VIBRATIONS!

I don't mind Foster The People joining them, but Maroon 5? Nah, not so much. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Austin on February 08, 2012, 09:30:55 AM Meh.

Post by: Shady on February 08, 2012, 09:44:05 AM To calm myself down I googled both bands..
Maroon 5 and Foster the people are both big Beach Boys fans, name dropping them in interviews long before any Grammy's performance, take solace in the fact this isn't just The Grammy's pairing a current pop act with a classic act, these guys are actually fans Could be good, could be terrible Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: b00ts on February 08, 2012, 10:30:22 AM I am going to try not to be pessimistic about this, even though it pisses me off...
The best thing in the world was when the Grammys got almost all the original members of Family Stone (Rustee Allen replaced Larry Graham at the last second) to appear onstage with Sly, playing music together for the first time in God knows how long... And then they covered up the members of the Family Stone with people like Steven Tyler, John Legend, and... Yes, Maroon 5. These people were literally stood in front of the original members so you could barely see them. ...and then, Sly just boogied off stage because that sh*t was far too jive for him. Of course, he was largely a wreck anyway, but that particular act of defiance really heartened me that this guy has integrity. Maybe now that he is newly sober, he will restart his career. Anyway, f*** tha Grammies. I love how the Simpsons always rip on them, but I will tune in just to see the Beach Boys with a dozen extra unnecessary members of other bands. For Chrissakes, how will we see Al with all these big people onstage?? Maybe they will bring his shoebox... Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: CarlTheVoice on February 08, 2012, 12:22:55 PM Well, I was reading too much into that tweet earlier, but it seems the idea was right. I don't like Maroon 5 so I'm not sure about this one. I just think it might be a lost opportunity to make sure the Beach Boys legacy is golden. I don't even think it will appeal to the young generation much, not like Kings of Leon would have done. To me this isn't a great choice but one, I may be wrong and two, there's nothing we can do about it anyway! Let's just hope it's a great performance!

Post by: Rocker on February 08, 2012, 12:45:28 PM Guys, it doesn't necessarily mean that Maroon 5 and Foster the people will join the Beach Boys on their number. All three bands could be part of a big medley where each band plays a song. The Beach Boys could still have a nice entrance when after the two bands the curtain goes up and all of a sudden the guys are standing there and going into Good Vibrations

[/quote Easy, but you might as well have quoted my whole post as the answer's right in there. I believe it was a Shindig christmas show from '64. Marvin Gaye (I believe it was him) was doing a song on his own which then went into the Beach Boys singing "We three kings....". Both acts were part of a medley but doing their songs on their own. It's not that hard to imagine, is it ? I don't know if this is what will be the case at the Grammies but it's a possibility. Do we know who opens the show ? Maybe it'll be that medley I just philosophied about. Good Vibrations would be a nice finale and a great way to start the show Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Adam Levine the same person who not 3 days ago told someone "why would you wanna be JUST a Country star, wouldn't you wanna be bigger than that?

And they’re doing it by throwing as many performers as humanly possible onstage — many of them at the same time. This afternoon, the producers announced that the long-dormant, recently reconstituted surviving members of the Beach Boys — Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks — would be making their return to the stage at the show for their first performance together in roughly two decades. In a confounding bit of casting, they’ll join “Pumped Up Kicks” hitmakers Foster the People and “Moves Like Jagger” juggernaut Maroon 5 for a never-before, never-again collaboration that has the potential to be both a blissfully memorable celebration of great music or a complete and utter train wreck.

Part of me is saying "these are the guys who did THAT" and another part is saying "Breath deeply. this is the GRAMMIES for heaven's sake," and then another part is saying "these WERE the guys who did TSS" and then there's the constant cultural surfboard nostalgia thing and that most of the audience (most of the world, actually) only knows this band as 60s pop charters. . .and so on and on. I'm mostly stuck with wanting something that the Grammies probably can't provide or even understand: for them and their legacy to be understood in all its depth and beauty and its wonderful exuberance.

I think it's safe to say that Adam Levine of Maroon 5 is not going to be content with standing at the side of the stage singing back-up vocals. Hell, with his high vocal range, his voice is tailor-made for singing Beach Boys music. I'm not worried; I think it will all be done reverently to our Boys.

It's like 3 hours of music. All kinds of different sh*t, with all kinds of different people singing with each other. That's awesome. Leave it to you losers to complain when a show has Paul Macca, Ringo Starr, Tony Bennett, the Beach Boys and half the other legends who are still able to hold up a microphone ALL performing on it. So while you guys are bitching about how the microphone's plugged into the wrong jack, I'm going to be turning this sh*t up as loud as it will go, and actually ENJOYING the music.

wtf is with that attitude? Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: KokoNO on February 08, 2012, 05:05:03 PM I don't think it's that people have anything against the performances per se.....it's just that the Grammys do such a poor job of rewarding modern music (and they pretty much always have), that looking over their nominations lists every year is an outright joke. All they do is give out trophies to the same over-the-hill group of musicians, year-after-year. What's even weirder now is that acclaimed stuff like Arcade Fire or Bon Iver sneaks in and gets nominated (or wins) amongst a pile of sh*t. It's like, nominate five great albums for Album of the Year or don't do it at all.
It's certainly much harder to do an awards show for music. Last year, the Oscars nominated ten films and nine of them were in the top ten most acclaimed films of the year according to one website (the other was #11, Shutter Island was the one left in the cold). Meanwhile, most critics can come to a consensus as to what the best television dramas/comedies are, so the Emmys as well gets a lot of worthy prestige and does plenty right in spite of it itself.... ...but music? I mean, the annual Pazz and Jop poll gets like 15,000 albums receiving votes. It's just something with a much wider array of releases/tastes that you can't possibly hand out awards for it without getting things wrong in the eye of most onlookers.

It's easy to say "why can't you just ENJOY the music, hater?!," but the very contention is precisely that this set up will affect their enjoyment. And who's complaining about petty issues such as microphones? These are straw mans. See how simple that is? I choose to enjoy it, you lot have already chosen to hate it.

Post by: Awesoman on February 08, 2012, 09:00:53 PM This grammy show is going to kick ass, what's wrong with you people? When did you all become assholes? It's like 3 hours of music. All kinds of different sh*t, with all kinds of different people singing with each other. That's awesome. Leave it to you losers to complain when a show has Paul Macca, Ringo Starr, Tony Bennett, the Beach Boys and half the other legends who are still able to hold up a microphone ALL performing on it. So while you guys are bitching about how the microphone's plugged into the wrong jack, I'm going to be turning this sh*t up as loud as it will go, and actually ENJOYING the music. See how simple that is? I choose to enjoy it, you lot have already chosen to hate it. You tell 'em, Ron. All this whinin' and bitchin' over this GRAMMY thing is cumbersome. I have in the past been vocally against the idea of a Beach Boys reunion without Carl, but even I have been more enthusiastic about the thing since it was announced. The majority of posters here have *begged* for these guys to perform together; now you're all gonna moan and groan because you don't like Maroon 5? Grow a pair and get over it already; you're getting your damn reunion. Sheesh! :police: Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

I quite like Bon Iver although I feel his most recent album is the most overrated of 2011 (quite good, mind you, but way overblown praise)....interestingly, I saw him in concert around the time his first album was released. The band was opening for Black Mountain to a crowd of like ten people actually paying attention and their sound setup completely sucked. Weird to think I was watching someone that would have an Album of the Year on many critic's lists and a Grammy nomination for Record of the Year four years later. Anyway, he said he was interested in playing, actually, but didn't feel like performing with other artists. I mean, it's kind of weird to make some ethereal, ghostly sort of music that means a lot to you and then be forced to have Cee-Lo burst into "f*** You" thirty seconds later or whatever. :lol Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

Not quite so – they traded on that slop n' shades image through the late 70s and right up to the reunion announcement. Puts food in mouths back home… Yes, I get it, they called themselves the Beach Boys and kind-of doomed themselves to this dull minded continuation of a worn out, trivializing, image. Erm, well, they didn't actually… first thing they knew about it was when the first BBs 45rpm was released, allegedly, though there might have been instance of ML claiming the credit for the name over the years, just to be in character…!

Post by: b00ts on February 09, 2012, 07:28:42 AM Sorry if I don't want to see Brian Wilson on stage with the guys who sing "moves like jagger" or "pumped up kicks". Agreed. I am also pissed off that I have to watch the lame-ass Grammies this year for a minute in order to see the Beach Boys, and even then they are polluting the BB's with some bullshit groups, just for the sake of marketing.Beach boys fans or not it's the stupidest idea ever, not to mention cheesy as hell Again, judging by how they handled the Family Stone reunion - with the original members barely even visible amongst Maroon 5 (who had a record coming out - synergy!) Steven Tyler, and a bunch of other random people - the NARAS have their heads up their asses and don't know how to respect all-time greats like the Beach Boys. I just think that the group who are responsible for God Only Knows and SMiLe deserve better than to be paired with two crap bands. Hey, here's an idea - why not have McCartney play with them? Oh wait, he will be playing with Lady Gaga and Jon Bon Jovi; I hear they will do a medley of "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Live and Let Die" (Guns N Roses Version) remixed live by the Grammy Grizzly Bear, the official mascot of the Grammys. Now that's what I call music! Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

Remember this is a production which has had a bad reputation for cutting winners' speeches short, and most performances are either one full song tightly timed or a medley where special guests come out every minute or so and sing a few hooks. I doubt they'll get more than 10 minutes air time if that's what you mean. Again, I can't see Adam Levine doing anything that the guys in the photo couldn't do better and haven't done better for the better part of 50 years.

They will probably get a 2 or 3 song medley with each guest band joining on a separate one. My guess is they'll do a verse/chorus/guitar solo of Do It Again, because of the rerecording, with Foster the People joining on the chorus and solo and part of either Good Vibes or California Girls and Wouldn't It Be Nice with Maroon 5. I would normally guess an earlier song like Fun, Fun, Fun or something, but Do It Again is recent again and covers surfing. But then again, maybe they'll sing a Maroon 5 song, since the Lovester has his "moves like Jagger" :lol Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

In the buildups before the breaks on "Do You Wanna Dance" there are kettle drums doing rolls along with the snare drum.
Timpani's are shallower and higher pitched. Look up Tito Puente on Youtube and you'll see them in action! I think I'm right! Wait, Tito used Timbales primarily, which are similar!

Post by: guitarfool2002 on February 10, 2012, 07:56:23 AM I realize it's beating a dead horse in a way, but can someone please explain to me what Adam Levine or Maroon 5 can add to the Beach Boys lineup shown in the rehearsal photos?
At least pick a f*cking band whose sound reflects at least a slight Beach Boys influence, rather than a band who sounds like they wore out more Whitney Houston or New Kids On The Block records than Beach Boys albums. Oh wait, you can't wear out an mp3...my bad. :) Hey, by the way, are there any group vocal harmonies on Maroon 5 records? I've played about a dozen of them on guitar through the years...none stand out with vocal harmonies. The KEY component of the Beach Boys sound isn't even in the Maroon 5 universe. I don't mind a few of their hits, they're catchy enough pop, but why them and the Beach Boys? Foster The People had an insanely catchy single last year, nothing earth-shattering but one which sticks in your mind for weeks. I don't have as much of a problem with them, because it isn't all Hollywood glitz and f*cking fashion shows with their lead singer, but even there I can't see their immediate connection to the Beach Boys or their music.

Post by: guitarfool2002 on February 10, 2012, 10:46:31 AM Strange to see both Al and Dave playing Les Pauls, rather than Fenders. Not surprising, though - it all comes back to commerce. Gibson has some kind of a deal worked out in all of this, not sure if it's a sponsorship, or endorsement, or some other kind of deal...but it certainly raised an eyebrow with me when some early news on this reunion stuff appeared on Gibson's website. As the Boys were associated with Fender, it seemed a bit odd at the time until the pieces fell together. Maybe someone with more info can add to this. But I'm guessing playing those Gibsons in public is part of the deal. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Pretty Funky on February 10, 2012, 02:34:24 PM This story covers how the 3 songs will work. Beach Boys onstage for the guest artists but center stage for GV. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2012/02/grammys-2012-beach-boys-reunite-for-grammys-rehearsal.html For the Grammys, Erhlich was trying to find that balance by coming up with a sequence that meshed the past and the present. That's why Maroon 5 will perform "Surfer Girl" and then hand off to newcomers Foster the People for "Wouldn't It Be Nice" before the Beach Boys step to center stage for "Good Vibrations." For the younger artists, there was a giddy excitement to the cross-generational exercise even in the rehearsals. Some good quotes from Bruce who now seems to be right into it. Johnston, sitting down to lunch before Thursday's rehearsal, said that he's been surfing this late-career surprise but he knows at some point, when audiences are paying for tickets, the group will have to live up to their own legend. "I never hoped for [a reunion] because I never thought any of us wanted to do it," the 69-year-old said. "So it's kind of cool, I'm looking forward to it. We have probably, you know, the presidential honeymoon of six months but then we have to show something to keep it going. The challenge is going to be the set list [for the tour shows] and choosing the songs that reflect our sort of simplicity and our more complex stuff. We have to make sure we have a great flowing song list but also make sure we don't sound like a greatest hits band. We have a lot to balance."

It is completely wrongheaded and boneheaded, but that's what the Grammys are about - corporate synergy and strategic marketing. I'll have the report on your desk on Monday! Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: bossaroo on February 10, 2012, 03:26:19 PM i'm stoked.
M5 and FTP are arguably the two biggest bands currently, at least in the Top40/Grammy world. the anticipation and energy level will be super high. we get M5 out of the way first with Surfer Girl, Brian's first composition. the song speaks for itself and if Levine screws it up, it's on him. then FTP for Wouldn't It Be Nice... a song about youth if ever there was one. let's face it, no one in the band can sing this one convincingly anymore. sure Al can still hit the notes, but come on. he's almost 70. i have a feeling these guys will do it justice, and thank goodness its not someone like Katy Perry or Christina Aguilera instead. then the real deal BBs will blow them all away with GV. the songs are a great chronological arc from '61 to '66. kind of wish we didn't know what they're doing ahead of time, but so be it. and Stamos sitting this one out is a nice cherry on top! i wonder if they will do all 3 songs in their entirety, or abbreviated medley-style? BRING IT ON! Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: KokoNO on February 10, 2012, 03:42:01 PM The information seems to indicate that it's a medley. I imagine we'll get about a minute of each of the first two songs and then the Beach Boys will go into Good Vibrations and be joined by the other bands part-way through. Probably about a five minute performance in total.

Plus they sort of toiled around as a struggling band for a while before hitting it big, they weren't some manufactured band. they paid their dues and succeeded.

Post by: Zach95 on February 11, 2012, 08:17:46 PM This is so unbelievably exciting. I'm sure Whitney's death won't take anything away from the Beach Boys' performance, don't worry. They've rehearsed too long, promoted too much, and gotten over too many arguments for their performance to be squashed now. This will truly be epic.
EDIT: So the Grammy show WILL be affected, there will be a tribute to Whitney Houston. We'll see how this plays out. As long as it doesn't overpower the Beach Boys' performance (which I guess undoubtedly it will, oh well), I'll be happy. EDIT Again!: Jennifer Hudson will be singing a tribute, and that will be all. Looks like the Beach Boys have nothing to be worried about, they'll steal the show ;D http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2012/02/grammys-2012-whitney-houston-tribute-to-be-sung-by-jennifer-hudson-.html Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: endofposts on February 11, 2012, 10:18:10 PM I got the idea Al didn't care for Foster the People because how can anyone not have heard "Pumped Up Kicks"? It was played all over the place a few months ago. Although perhaps Al somehow avoided it, or didn't know they were the ones who sang the song (nobody ID's song and artist on radio anymore). Or he heard the one song and not the rest of their stuff. But it struck me he wasn't that impressed by their lead singer. He highly praised Maroon 5's singer, but just said the Foster guy was "pleasant." There was just something about how he talked about them. Though it's nice he "likes" them on Facebook if it is true that either he simply hasn't heard much of them and is waiting to see if they're more than a 1-hit wonder, doesn't know them at all, or isn't actually that impressed but is just trying to be nice. Facebook is good that way.
I hope the Beach Boys show those kids a thing or two. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: FatherOfTheMan Sr101 on February 11, 2012, 10:24:27 PM Man, I'm more excited for the album now!

Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: NatureShowInStereo on February 12, 2012, 12:05:28 AM Cool to see Al comparing the latest sessions to Pet Sounds, but I'm not expecting Pet Sounds 2 or anything. If it's not tacky Beach Boys, I'll be happy no matter how 'bad' it is. If it sounds like a good effort was made to put a footnote on their career to set their legacy, I will be a happy man.

But as we know, Brian is full of suprises! Maybe now that SMiLE's out we got the 66-67 Brian back? Not a surprise to people following BW, particularly. The last big batch of released BW tunes was TLOS. Even in demo form, a lot of those were classic mid-60s sounding tunes. Good Kind of Love, FSBMSG, Oh Mi Amor, Just Like Me and You -- all had a fresh openness to them that suggests BW's best work from that era. It's only natural to think that Brian has continued composing in this vein, given that he's said he thinks TLOS is his one of his best solo records. And let's face it, the record is going to rise and fall based on his contributions. With Carl gone, Mike and Al seem content to let BW and his band lead the way musically (as long as Mike gets to write some lyrics and contribute a tune or two). So it may well be excellent. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Justin on February 12, 2012, 01:23:43 AM Let's refrain from mentioning Whitney's death any further shall we?

I don't want to see her death belittled to a footnote as the cause of a shorten telecast that effected our favorite band's time slot. I agree. I am a true BW/BBs aficionado for 40 years now. I don't own one single record by Whitney. But I wouldn't feel let down, or disappointed, even if the BBs reunion at the Grammys were canceled, and a graceful form of a tribute to the late ms. Houston would be broadcast instead. I would feel very egotistical if I would think otherwise. There are things in life that justly overrule other things - and the latter category includes the official reunion of your favourite group of musicians.

Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Rocker on February 12, 2012, 04:15:49 AM Too bad what happened to Whitney. In terms of the Beach Boys' appearance, they can't cancel it as it was too big a part of the Grammy promotion. Maybe they'll dedicade their part to her or change the setlist and add God Only Knows as a tribute to her. I can't imagine them cancelling it though
Not BB related: I think it would be cool if they could get Dolly Parton to sing her "I will always love you" as a tribute to Whitney. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Zach95 on February 12, 2012, 06:15:59 AM I understand the death of Whitney Houston is tragic, and that she was a brilliant performer and singer that contributed so much to the music industry. However, like Michael Jackson, I believe it is safe to assume her death involved substance abuse considering she was only 48. That's not admirable. That's not brave or courageous. You can say what you want about the pressures of being famous and bringing in millions of dollars but when it comes down to it, Whitney Houston, like Brian Wilson, severely abused certain substances. Unlike Brian, she could not overcome this, though many many people tried helping her. It's very sad.
Saying this, I do not feel cold or heartless saying that I WOULD be severely disappointed if the Beach Boys' performance was severely affected by her death. I'm sorry, but when some celebrity overdoses the night before my favorite band is going to play together for the first time in however many years I'm not about to say, "Oh it's okay, I'll see them some other time." Call me what you'd like, but that's me. In any event, it appears as though all will end well for all the performances. Take a look at this article. Apparently two minutes and thirty seconds were left open for the show, and Jennifer Hudson will be headlining a tribute to Houston at some point without affecting other performances time slots. http://www.ocregister.com/entertainment/davis-339974-houston-hotel.html Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

Her passing will overshadow the event and there is little doubt of that, And our Boys are adults and will take this all in their customary, graceful stride. Maybe some good will come from her passing, as the gathering of all this talent will generate some activism to marshall their collective power to either empower more research into recovery and identify young people in the music business who are at risk for addiction to stop the loss of such great talent such as Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, and even Dennis Wilson. The list is endless. We can only hope that this roomful of influential and brilliant music industry people can help "reverse this curse." Maybe the recording industry can step up to the plate to offer assistance to either prevent or connect their artists to successful treatment, rather than looking at performers as "cash cows" for their bottom line. And hook these performers up with a safety net proactively, at the initial contract stage, to make the artists aware of the industry pitfalls and all the charlatans who would befriend them. There will be a potentially huge opportunity to have good come from this tragedy, equal to Farm Aid, or whatever other charity purpose our entertainers have championed. And it will be the best investment. They will be saving themselves. ;) Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

Post by: Mikie on February 12, 2012, 07:53:07 AM "It feels really nice" to get back together on the Grammy stage after so many years, Love said, and Wilson concurred. “It’s a nice feeling – a very productive kind of thing," Wilson said. "We don’t fool around, you know. When it comes to singing, of course we don’t fool around.” The group will be joined by Foster the People and Maroon 5 for a special performance at Sunday's Grammy show, made all the better by the fact that both of those acts are huge fans of the Beach Boys. Foster the People will perform "Wouldn't It Be Nice," while Maroon 5 will take "Surfer Girl." "They knew exactly what songs they wanted to do," Love said. Foster the People's Mark Foster can recall seeing The Beach Boys as a kid, and said it was a "huge shock" when his group was asked to perform with them. "I think all of us almost passed out when they asked us to play," Foster said. "The Beach Boys were my first concert ever. I saw them when I was seven years old, and I never would have expected to share a stage with them. It's a dream come true." http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2012/02/11/beach-boys-feeling-good-vibrations-ahead-of-grammy-performance/ Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

Steve Marinucci's web site is reporting a Paul & Ringo soundcheck this morning. "Ringo Starr will be there, but presenting an award. Is it possible that something will happen during the show involving both of them? The answer is yes. Sources tell us there might be a very nice surprise at the end of the show. We're hearing unconfirmed reports there may have even been a sound check on Saturday.

CBS has confirmed that FreeCast.com's online stream will provide additional coverage from the event that will not be aired on television; however, FreeCast says the aim of the online stream is not an alternative to CBS's coverage. "The online coverage is more a second screen," said Mobley. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Shady on February 12, 2012, 04:28:59 PM Oh lawd

My wife was watching with me - after GV she says to me "wow, those guys would be nothing without that band to carry them". Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Craig Boyd on February 12, 2012, 06:30:54 PM Yeah but it takes a lot of courage to get back with your old band on a big stage like that, I thought Brian was great. Sure his mic was down a bit but he was still going for it I thought, nice that Bruce was helping out aswell as Jeff on the verses too. Maroon 5 and Foster the People were a letdown though, the BB's could have handled that whole slot better on their own.
Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Lowbacca on February 12, 2012, 06:35:32 PM Maroon5 .. well..
Foster The People... were oh-kay. Those Beach Boys... well, I had hoped they'd go all-out for Good Vibrations, but they played it fairly safe. :-\ Mike in good shape, Brian rather nervous (mainly Jeff audible at the beginning?). What I heard from Brian was good, though. And they all looked great. (Gotta listen to their performance again with headphones on..) All over too soon... Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Margarita on February 12, 2012, 06:38:43 PM Brian looked good, and his band was spot-on. But the others? I might have to go back and watch it again, but I didn't feel like they added anything. And Mike kept looking at the camera in a creepy-leery way. Ew. I was hoping for hum-be-dahs.
I'm sure that normal people enjoyed this performance, and they definitely got a great reception from the audience. I've been too much of a fan for too long to be objective. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: schiaffino on February 12, 2012, 06:40:17 PM ok, wibn, better, but still. . . On my Goooooodddddd that was awasome!!

Maroon 5...awful as expected :( Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: slickman9696 on February 12, 2012, 07:34:02 PM I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but there's so much negativity on here. I thought it was great to see two SoCal bands that I know have a lot of respect for the Beach Boys getting up there and honoring them. And we all have to agree it was nice that the Beach Boys had their own time there to sing. I know there could have been a lot of worry they would do their late 90s thing of just joining in singing background while some current artist sang the lead lines.
There are more bands out there than The Beach Boys, and the grammys are just doing their thing of bringing new and old, and it couldn't have been done better. Remember when Paul McCartney joined Linkin Park? That was odd. I can already tell I'm going to get blasted for this, but I just think that we can look at this in a more positive, glass half full way.

Unfortunately, we Yanks don't have a BBC-like television network funded by license fees eliminating the need for ads. Our television is ruled by the private sector (Murdoch, Warners, Viacom, Ted Turner, etc.). We do have public television with no commercials (PBS-the Public Broadcasting Service), but programming on that network is instead interrupted by annoying hosts begging viewers to donate money. This begging sometimes goes on for longer than the usually abridged programs...then they say "buy the DVD to watch this show in its entirety".

Yes it is! Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: Autotune on February 13, 2012, 01:46:09 AM I enjoyed it. I don't think there's a reason to be bitter about the "tribute" performances by the other bands. They did what they could. I think we shold be thankful for all this.
Mike did great. The best he's sounded on a live telecast in like 40 years. Everybody looked great. Brian looked handsome, if petrified. He could be heard, but I wonder if his level was lowered on purpose (adjusting his mic would be priority #1 for the sound people I suppose). But if he managed to have a 10+ year solo performing career, I'm sure he'll manage to handle this well. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

Post by: LostArt on February 13, 2012, 04:16:43 AM My 15 year old daughter played me a bunch of Adele stuff on a car trip a few weeks ago. I had heard the radio hits already, but she played some album cuts that were just fantastic. I said to her, "Wow, the songs are well written, the production is good, they're playing organic instruments, and she can sing with taste and with soul. How is she popular?" My daughter just laughed.

Post by: rab2591 on February 13, 2012, 06:14:23 AM I'm glad Adele basically swept the awards.
I agree with LostArt - she sounds organic - her voice on Set Fire To The Rain is jaw dropping, her lyrics are incredible on 21. She's a breathe of fresh air in the world of pop. And I really dug both Maroon 5 and Foster the People last night; both sounded great....nothing over the top, and they stayed true to the original arrangements, yet added their own flavor. Also, gotta repeat how much I enjoyed watching the Beach Boys: They sounded fantastic and I think it was a great kick-off to their reunion tour/album.

Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance? Post by: filledeplage on February 13, 2012, 11:55:21 AM I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but there's so much negativity on here. I thought it was great to see two SoCal bands that I know have a lot of respect for the Beach Boys getting up there and honoring them. And we all have to agree it was nice that the Beach Boys had their own time there to sing. I know there could have been a lot of worry they would do their late 90s thing of just joining in singing background while some current artist sang the lead lines. There are more bands out there than The Beach Boys, and the grammys are just doing their thing of bringing new and old, and it couldn't have been done better. Remember when Paul McCartney joined Linkin Park? That was odd. I can already tell I'm going to get blasted for this, but I just think that we can look at this in a more positive, glass half full way. I agree with you. Agree with both of you! It was tremendous, particularly, in light of the tragic Whitney news. Eveyone seemed to play as a team, and appreciate the great gift of music. Nothing like a tragedy, for people to pull themselves together and forget the minutiae that people argue about and remember why they are brought together. I never saw these musicians perform more passionately. They should all be proud with their priorities in the right place. Very classyl touch of the cover bands to wear the blue and white striped shirts! Bravo! ;) Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

That's EXACTLY what they look like! it's the same look I've seen at Ringling Brothers. Still a great photo. I'l bet if you would travel back in time, and show the boys circa 1965 what they would end up looking like, they all would have retired. Title: Re: What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?
