Title: Re: Can't believe it's been 15 years... Post by: The 4th Wilson Bro. on February 06, 2013, 07:41:11 AM Carl Wilson: The greatest vocalist in the history of modern music and the man most responsible for keeping the Beach Boys' music alive for the final 30 years of his life. Music lovers, in general, and Beach Boys fans, in particular, owe you so much for refusing to let the band die when the rigors of a tremendously hectic life became too much for your big brother. Without your leadership and determination, the Beach Boys likely would have (in the words of one noted composer) ceased to exist as early as the 1970s. Thanks for refusing to let that happen. We miss you, Carl Wilson. RIP, Great Man!
JMHO! Title: Re: Can't believe it's been 15 years...

Love and miss you. Title: Re: Can't believe it's been 15 years... Post by: Sandeve on February 06, 2013, 12:45:39 PM R.I.P Carl. Thank heavens his voice is still with us.
This is my first post, been reading the forum avidly for months but it felt right to make my first small contribution today. Title: Re: Can't believe it's been 15 years... Post by: SamMcK on February 06, 2013, 12:55:00 PM He had the best voice other than maybe Brian at his peak, R.I.P Carl, you were the glue that held the group together all those years and your voice will live on for god only knows how long.
P.S welcome to the forum Sandeve. Title: Re: Can't believe it's been 15 years... Post by: CenturyDeprived on February 06, 2013, 01:07:28 PM It's now been as many years since Carl passed (15) as years that had elapsed since Dennis' passing at the time of Carl's passing (15).
Hard to believe. Title: Re: Can't believe it's been 15 years... Post by: Letsgoawayforawhile on February 06, 2013, 01:29:42 PM RIP Carl.
When they get here, I'll show my children your one of a kind voice. Thanks so much for brightening my soul. Title: Re: Can't believe it's been 15 years... Post by: LetHimRun on February 06, 2013, 01:43:33 PM RIP, Carl. Thank God that gorgeous voice was laid to tape.
Title: Re: Can't believe it's been 15 years... Post by: Emdeeh on February 06, 2013, 02:00:22 PM One testament to Carl's importance in the BBs is just how many people it took to cover onstage what he did during the 50th celebration. Jeff, Al, Brian, and Darian were singing his parts/leads, David and Scott T. played his guitar parts, etc. And, of course, for those of us who were lucky enough to attend 50th shows with the video screen, there was GOK with Carl himself singing the lead. It takes a village, indeed.
I still love and miss that guy.... he was the real deal. Title: Re: Can't believe it's been 15 years... Post by: AndrewHickey on February 06, 2013, 02:10:58 PM It's now been as many years since Carl passed (15) as years that had elapsed since Dennis' passing at the time of Carl's passing (15). Hard to believe. It's been even longer -- Dennis only died fourteen years, one month and nine days before Carl. Hard to believe indeed. Title: Re: Can't believe it's been 15 years... Post by: absinthe_boy on February 07, 2013, 04:43:26 AM Carl died the day I was married, so it's a date I shall never forget. RIP Carl Wilson, beautiful voice and a sad loss to the Beach Boys.
