Title: Brian Wilson on 'The Wall' Post by: Smiling Pets on October 23, 2012, 02:05:57 AM Long time reader, but I never post.
Thought I'd share this interesting nugget of info to see if you guys here had any insight http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=1&title=8_obscure_guest_appearances&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 7Brian Wilson on 'The Wall' Amazed to hear the velvety vocals of Brian Wilson all over the pounding existential angsts of Pink Floyd's miserablist epic 'The Wall'? You would have been, if they hadn't wiped his entire contribution and got session singers to reproduce it. Did Brian really record backing vocals for the Wall? Title: Re: Brian Wilson on 'The Wall' Post by: Cliff1000uk on October 23, 2012, 02:22:41 AM I didn't think Brian made it out of bed, let alone to the studio. I'm sure others here can fill in the blanks but if I remember correctly, Bruce asked all the BBs to do backing vocals but they cancelled the day, or maybe hours, before.
Ah, quick search brings this: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?topic=5161.0 (http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?topic=5161.0) Title: Re: Brian Wilson on 'The Wall' Post by: Andrew G.

None of the (then) band did. Title: Re: Brian Wilson on 'The Wall' Post by: Aegir on October 23, 2012, 03:08:50 AM also, Brian's vocals would almost certainly not have been velvety in 1979.

Ah, quick search brings this: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?topic=5161.0 (http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?topic=5161.0) As mentioned in that link it was Bruce who appeared on "The wall". Just another case of bad research. Title: Re: Brian Wilson on 'The Wall' Post by: Cliff1000uk on October 23, 2012, 03:41:16 AM I didn't think Brian made it out of bed, let alone to the studio.
