Saw these on ebay. There are some posted in this sites photo section. Anyone else find it disturbing that these private pics are up for sale?

By the way, click on the more items from this seller to see some really disturbing pics.

This has already been discussed in The *official* Brian/BB picture thread (http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,1990.msg305030.html#new) (see the last few pages). There are some pretty cool photographs there.

Is there anyway to contact BRI about these pictures?

That Brian naked pic is hilarious. Is your issue that he isnt the owner of the pics? Maybe he is?

That'd make a fine album cover for a demos collection. Ok, inner cd tray at least?

Dunno if its that. I kind of reminds me when someone approached Bob Hanes with tapes of Brian's therapy sessions with Landy.

Yikes, those tapes should be burned.

Those are some awesome pictures. I don't know if I'd call it straight up disturbing that they're on e-bay, but I get what you're saying.

That naked hotel picture is a gem, though.

Is he really wearing a HAT?!?

YAP.  :3d Brian's an awesome dude.

Com'on.

Who amongst us hasn't walked naked through the house while wearing a hat?

Testify. :smokin

I figured that's what this thread would be about. And I disagree. Replace "disturbing" with "sexy as hell."

That is probably the Brian-ist photo of Brian evah.

The picture of a clean-shaven (and I think) 1982 Brian with Carolyn Williams is a bit of a revelation. I thought he had a beard all throughout 1982.

i don't see what's disturbing.  Guy probably just needs some money.

That picture of a clean shaven Brian is so weird. It's like somebody took his 1969-70-ish head, with his overweight early 1980's body.  ;D

You just know this pic will end up in Mojo eventually. Gah, I f***ed up the top bit and got lazy, but you get the idea.

What's so disturbing about it?  Doesn't bother me.  Geez, nudity is natural - lighten up! 

I'd rather see Carolyn Williams nekkid though.  Anybody have more pictures of her?

 I never thought I'd ever see a picture of Carolyn Williams. Now, if only somebody had that tv news report about her being arrested during a Beach Boys tour...

I dare somebody to use that picture of Brian as their avatar.  ;D

^_^

You're so awesome, Billy.  ;D

Thank you...just wish potential employers (hell, my current one -_- ) felt that way

Its a collection of photographs.

I am not sure what we are supposed to be disturbed about ??

Is anyone buying any of these?

Nope. The guy wants too much $$ for that collection. The naked picture of Brian has 10 bids and is edging up into the $35 range--will probably get over $50, I suspect--mostly due to that hat!

Selling off some random photos of Brian from darker days isn't the coolest thing in the world, but it's not like someone is hawking a Debbie Keil sex tape or something. Or bootlegging all of the Capitol tapes (and raise your hand if you DON'T have copies of those)...

Agreed. I think that because it is from the darker days, it bothers me. But hey, we have seen the Landy tape of Brian being filmed at his house so....

And BTW, the pic of Brian without his beard is from June 1980. He has a beard at the first part of the European tour, but, he had shaved it off by the time Knebworth rolled around.

I'd consider bidding on that.  ;D

Yep. BIG bidding war there!! Especially if Brian got inspired and wrote three great unreleased songs in the middle of it all...  >:D

Unfortunately, Al Jardine mans the camera and is talking the whole time and providing unnecessary direction.

SHUDDER.

Oh god, what have I done, what have I done....

(breaks down sobbing)

The night was so young, and everything still
The moon shining bright on my window sill
I think of her lips, it chills me inside
And then I think why does she have to hide.....

Gah, I'm thinking of bidding. These are too great.


For some reason, this matter-of-fact description cracked me up:

This auction is for an 3.5 x 4.5 original photograph of Brian Wilson sitting at a table in what looks like a hotel room. He is naked, all he is wearing is a hat.

The snot picture is the most disturbing.  He's wearing the Delicious T-shirt and has a clearly unwiped nose, all the way down to his beard.  Ugh.  The naked picture is not that odd, since it's in the privacy of his own hotel room and you can't see much at all (thankfully).  Though it does make me think of the Internet meme with the photo of the fat naked guy in front of his computer.

Personally speaking, I am not in the least distrubed. Not sure I ever have been.

Have a closer look Kittykat it is  :smokin smoke  :smokin not snot  :p

Update: the nudie Brian pick sold for $199.99!!!!!
