Title: beachboysband.com Post by: Jonas on July 26, 2009, 05:40:50 PM Headed over there today to see if they're coming anywhere around here soon (they aren't :() but I did notice this little tidbit:
Quote THE ORIGINAL FOUNDING MEMBERS OF THE BEACH BOYS ARE ... Mike Love / Brian Wilson / Alan Jardine / Carl Wilson (Deceased) / Dennis Wilson (Deceased) / David Marks (1962 - '63 & 1998 -'99) / Bruce Johnston (1965 - 1971 & 1979 to present) Since when was Bruce considered an original founding member? Title: Re: beachboysband.com Post by: The infamous Baldwin Organ on July 26, 2009, 06:10:07 PM Well, they did include David too; David was there a few years earlier, Bruce was around for much longer.
It's not entirely accurate, but it's close enough to include the people most famously associated with being in the group. I don't see much harm in it. Title: Re: beachboysband.com Post by: Alex on July 26, 2009, 06:27:20 PM No mention of Blondie or Ricky? Typical.

That era of the Beach Boys doesn't count....apparently Title: Re: beachboysband.com Post by: Jonas on July 26, 2009, 08:16:24 PM Well, they did include David too; David was there a few years earlier, Bruce was around for much longer. It's not entirely accurate, but it's close enough to include the people most famously associated with being in the group. I don't see much harm in it. Well, I'd consider David a "founding" member because he was infact there since the beginning. I mean, he was friends with them, and did those grueling tours before they were really anybody. Idk, seeing as he was a childhood friend, and being a part of the "gang" I'd give David as much credit of a founding member as Al...maybe I'm way off base, I dont know. Either way, I'm just a bit baffled over Bruce on there...only because of the word "founding" was included there...

Though Bruce isnt a "founding" member, he has alot more to do with the BB's then David. Just a wrong choice of words I guess.

I dont think what I said was wrong.
Title: Re: beachboysband.com Post by: the captain on July 27, 2009, 06:24:36 PM Just a joke. Jon, who as you probably know wrote books about both David Marks and Dennis Wilson, tends to vociferously defend them. You could say Brian was a more important Beach Boy than one of them and half-expect a response from him. (And that, Mr. Stebbins, is a joke. FYI. But it does give me an idea. See new post in your thread.)
