Title: If the BBs were their current ages when the band started... Post by: CenturyDeprived on March 07, 2016, 04:19:14 PM Mike would be born in 1886
Brian, Al, and Bruce would be born in 1887 Denny would have been born in 1889 Carl would have been born in 1891 Dave would be born in 1893 Could a bunch of talented 70-something guys called The Beach Boys or The Beach Men, with the same songs, had any success in 1961? Even one hit? Title: Re: If the BBs were their current ages when the band started... Post by: Emily on March 07, 2016, 04:36:26 PM Are their voices their then voices or their now voices?
Title: Re: If the BBs were their current ages when the band started... Post by: CenturyDeprived on March 07, 2016, 04:50:47 PM Are their voices their then voices or their now voices? I guess in the case of Al, it would pretty much be the same :) But everyone would sound the way they do today. Maybe they'd have to just give Al all of the leads to ageless Jardine in order to get a hit. Title: Re: If the BBs were their current ages when the band started... Post by: Emily on March 07, 2016, 05:08:05 PM Yeah. I was going to say that if they had their then voices, they'd just have to find some models for the photos and they'd be fine. Their now voices? Other than Al's, I don't really think the kids are going to run out and buy old man voices singing about surfing and gettin bugged while being real cool heads.

Would it be Jasper "Teeter Totter Love" Dailey, born in the year of the Titanic, 1912? Title: Re: If the BBs were their current ages when the band started...

Nope, sadly Jasper died in 1998. http://www.angelfire.com/mn/smileshop/historyjasper.html I do, however, have one to add to your list: Long Ball Texan Title: Re: If the BBs were their current ages when the band started...

Post by: The Shift on March 07, 2016, 10:39:11 PM Mike would be born in 1886 Brian, Al, and Bruce would be born in 1887 Denny would have been born in 1889 Carl would have been born in 1891 Dave would be born in 1893 Could a bunch of talented 70-something guys called The Beach Boys or The Beach Men, with the same songs, had any success in 1961? Even one hit? So I'm guessing no Carl & Dennis? Are we starting with Dave or Al? At what point do Bruce, Blondie and Ricky join? More songs: California Saga Holidays Don't Go Near The Wethers Heaven Do You Remember? Slippers On Through I'm the Pied Pipe Smoker Do You Remember? I Went To Sleep Do It Again Do You Remember?

Post by: JK on March 08, 2016, 02:03:33 AM I wonder if anyone born in the 1880s were actually on any hit records in the 1960s. Closest I can get is Walter Brennan (1894-1974) who reached #5 on Billboard in 1962 with "Old Rivers". (I see he had already had a US #30 two years earlier with "Dutchman's Gold".)

Post by: joshferrell on March 08, 2016, 10:02:13 AM well Laurel and Hardy went #2 on the UK charts with "Trail of the lonesome pine" in the 70's after they had died..

Title: Re: If the BBs were their current ages when the band started... Post by: CenturyDeprived on March 08, 2016, 11:24:56 AM Or... What kind of music would Brian be making in 1907? Most certainly it would be something with a barbershop quartet twist to it, which was an existing genre in that era. That's assuming, of course, he'd be exposed to hearing a vocal harmony group in the absence of the yet-to-exist Four Freshmen. Title: Re: If the BBs were their current ages when the band started...

Most certainly it would be something with a barbershop quartet twist to it, which was an existing genre in that era. That's assuming, of course, he'd be exposed to hearing a vocal harmony group in the absence of the yet-to-exist Four Freshmen. He would have mixed up beat Bach music with barbershop harmonies. Title: Re: If the BBs were their current ages when the band started... Post by: SBonilla on March 08, 2016, 12:26:03 PM Folk music would have been the only plausible way to go: I could see Brian and the guitarists in the band whipping up a snappy arrangement of WALK RIGHT IN to compete the Rooftop Singers' version.
Al on lead vocals. Mike on "everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin'" Brian on "do you wanna lose your mind." Group harmonies on chorus tag and select spots. A Hit or just a Bubbling Under? |
