Title: What if they were all Wilsons? Post by: CenturyDeprived on July 20, 2015, 11:57:55 AM How different would the band dynamic have been, if Mike and Al had both been Wilson brothers, but with their same general respective personalities?
Would Mike and Dennis' falling out happened the same way if they were brothers and not cousins? Would band politics have been completely different? There are a million questions like these which are interesting to ponder. Certainly, if Mike and Al had Murry as a dad, they'd likely have had deep issues themselves, which would doubtlessly have effected their personalities in some way.

The Everlys, the Davies brothers, the Bachman brothers, the Gibbs.

Title: Re: What if they were all Wilsons? Post by: Pacific Ocean Blue on July 21, 2015, 04:54:18 AM I think Dennis and Mike would have still hated each other!!
Title: Re: What if they were all Wilsons? Post by: Lee Marshall on July 21, 2015, 05:19:20 AM You don't hear many stories of Brian, Denny and Carl coming to blows. In fact...Have I heard any? Murry did all of the swattin' within that compact. Not saying they didn't have words...or that they didn't pick on little Carl but...I always had a sense that the brothers Wilson were very close.
Title: Re: What if they were all Wilsons? Post by: drbeachboy on July 21, 2015, 07:15:02 AM I think I read in Becoming the Beach Boys, that Dennis picked on Carl a little bit. Sounded like typical sibling type stuff, though. They all shared one bedroom, so you better get along.
Title: Re: What if they were all Wilsons? Post by: NateRuvin on July 21, 2015, 07:58:30 AM That's very interesting. Based on the closeness of the actual Wilson brothers, I think the band would have been on the same page more often.

Loves? California girls? Title: Re: What if they were all Wilsons? Post by: Pacific Ocean Blue on July 21, 2015, 09:12:09 AM A band full of Dennis Wilson's would be more epic

Post by: Cyncie on July 21, 2015, 06:54:57 PM The Jardines might have invented Dental Rock :lol Flossin' Safari, anyone? :p Surely the Jardines would be a folk group. Maybe the Dr. Jardine Traveling Dental and Medicine Show, or the New Jardine Minstrels. :D Title: Re: What if they were all Wilsons?
