Found this on Blueboard oddly enough...been looking for it for awhile (as others have I'm sure). It's pretty cool to hear; Howard clearly has tremendous respect for Brian. Check it out. Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: Bubba Ho-Tep on February 22, 2006, 12:57:34 PM Nice. I've had this on cassette for years and was waiting for the day to burn it to CD.

Stern seems to know his sh*t,though. At least there are some probing questions. Brian though...seemed a little off compared to know. Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: Jonas on February 22, 2006, 03:39:13 PM Why? I thought it was a pretty good interview...
Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on February 22, 2006, 03:41:34 PM Actually, I am digging this right now. I'm listening to it right now.
LOL...lived in a sandbox?! Brought up Landy! Oh sh*t...what a belch!!! He hit on 12 year olds?! Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: Chris Brown on February 22, 2006, 03:51:07 PM Gotta love any interview where Smile is not mentioned once but Brian is asked if he's ever slept with 4 girls at once! I found most of it to be pretty funny; Howard wasn't as clueless about Brian as others who interview him. Despite using Brian's "autobiography" as a reference for a lot of questions, I found the interview to be entertaining.
Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: Reverend Joshua Sloane on February 22, 2006, 03:52:08 PM Howard Stern knows his Beatles, which leads me to believe he also knows his Beach Boys.
Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on February 22, 2006, 03:54:09 PM LOL...that girl who called in messed up...Brian's saying "ahh...she's drunk"
This is some great stuff. Brian bringing up his granddad's treatment of Murry... Like that...Brian :"Let him talk",talking about the caller. God...the guy called him "Crackhead Bob"?! Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: Daniel S. on February 22, 2006, 04:00:44 PM Brian sounds pretty medicated, though. Really slurred speech. Still a great interview. Stern is the King.
Hey, they even discuss Manson! ;D Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: Sheriff John Stone on February 22, 2006, 04:57:00 PM Wow, I never heard this before. Thanks for posting it.
It might not be the best interview I ever heard with Brian, but it was one of the most entertaining. I'm not a Howard Stern fan, but he did a great job. He could've made a fool out of Brian, but you could sense that Howard was careful not to embarrass him. Maybe because I was listening and not watching, I wasn't holding my breath like I usually do during a BW interview. WATCHING Brian is so nerve-wracking. Understatement of the century - Damn, Brian had a tragic life. The stuff is so legendary and tragic to begin with, but to hear somebody talk about it... While listening to Brian, I felt sorry for him. When Howard would talk about the sexual or drug stuff, Brian would either laugh or go "Aw, no, Howard", like a true innocent who was uncomfortable talking about those subjects. Yet, you can't help but wonder how sleazy Brian's life really was in those days. At the end of the interview, "Good Vibrations" comes on. It kind of hit me hard, thinking about the Brian of 1966, and the Brian of today... Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: Chris Brown on February 22, 2006, 05:22:15 PM Good points Sheriff...the start of GV hit me in a similar way. I thought all of Howard's sex questions were rather funny, and like you said, he made sure that Brian did not come across as a crazy rock star. Definitely not the "standard" Brian interview!
Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: Glenn Greenberg on February 22, 2006, 07:40:33 PM It was through Howard Stern that I first learned about Brian's history and eccentricities. This goes back almost 20 years now!
Howard used to talk about Brian back in the late 80s--he played cuts from the "Brian Wilson" album when it first came out and wondered why Brian didn't just record the album with the Beach Boys, since it sounded just like a Beach Boys album to him. Howard also used to play "Johnny Carson" and thought it was the wackiest thing he'd ever heard--until Brian recorded that "Barbie" song and then Howard started playing that. It was also through Howard that I learned of the Beach Boys/Charles Manson connection. Howard used to play some of Manson's songs and talked about his dealings with the Boys back in the late 60s. And I remember how Howard used to say that Brian looked like a deer in headlights during his 1970s concert appearances. One time a caller mentioned to Howard that he was going to see the BB's in concert, and Howard joked, "Be sure to call out to Brian, "Briiiiiiii-annnnnn! Briiiiiiiiiiiiiii-annnnnn! See if he wigs out!'"

Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: guitarfool2002 on February 22, 2006, 09:11:43 PM And it was Howard Stern who played the Mike Love Hall Of Fame speech/debacle literally hundreds of times through the years - he'd start off every show at 6am by playing a reel of various highlights and favorite clips before starting the show live, and Mike Love's HOF speech was always on there. I'll bet more people heard it there than anywhere else. If I'm remembering correctly, he's also had Carnie Wilson on the show before, with a good interview.
Gary "Baba Booey" Dell'Abate, Stern's producer and whipping boy, was once mocked by Stern for having a collection of Beatles bootlegs and outtakes, so I'll bet he's hip to the same stuff as folks on this board including Smile. This was in the late 80's if I recall. I used to be a big Stern fan but I lost interest. Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: Daniel S. on February 22, 2006, 09:13:59 PM It was funny in the interview when Howard asked Brian if he knew a lot of TV trivia after spending 2 years in bed watching television.
AND! Thanks to this interview we now know what Brian's favorite drug was: COCAINE Howard asked him. I always wondered about that. Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: runalot on February 23, 2006, 12:11:31 AM Thanks for posting this, it's new to me, too! :D

Oh man...they're probably all shaking their baby books and prescription medications in anger while emailing the moderators like mad telling them to "ban" the person who posted it.

Although...Matt Jardine did a few shows with Brian. Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: jabba2 on February 23, 2006, 11:33:53 PM I thought Howard talked about Brians rough childhood a little too much. he should have been bugging him about details with the Beach Boys. Im more interested in Brians interactions with Mike, Al and Carl in the studio and the dialogue with them. Stuff like that facsinates me, not so much why Murry's a prick.

Only a true fan of them could get that so perfectly captured. Right about Brian's own "subtle mind control" also. Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: runalot on February 25, 2006, 11:11:15 PM Check this out... here is a beatles clip I've never seen before. Damn, the rare stuff you found on youtube.com.
Even shows George Martin working with all four of them on an early version of HEY JUDE. Amazing. http://youtube.com/watch?v=xdob9sAID4Q&search=Lennon Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: runalot on February 25, 2006, 11:44:39 PM Hey Bulldog video. No, not the one with Lady Madonna playing over the session. This is the actualy Hey Bulldog video with scenes I haven't seen before.

Sue me. No, seriously, I only posted it because a lot of people in this forum could be Beatles fans, too. And, it's really good footage, too! Check 'em out! I haven't seen it anywhere! Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: seltaeb1012002 on March 12, 2013, 11:22:08 AM Couldn't find a more recent thread on this.
Just had to say, this has to be the best BW interview out there, period. From the very beginning, you get a glimpse of what it's like to just "hang" with Brian. Dude is hilarious! And he appreciates humor. He's constantly getting in on the jokes, and laughing throughout the interview. He was able to find humor in the Murry situation, the bedroom years, etc. He even makes fun of himself for being kinda "out there". Hoping that one day Howard TV releases the video for this one. Does anyone recall seeing it aired back in the day on E! ? Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: Mikie on March 12, 2013, 11:26:55 AM Yes.
Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: Wirestone on March 12, 2013, 06:33:39 PM This clip is one of the reasons I've always had a soft spot for Stern. He is actually very, very nice to Brian, albeit with a few more sex and drugs questions than usual. But he actually treats Brian like an interesting adult and asks him unusual, fresh questions.

Riight! He played it off perfectly. Most interviewers are too fake nice to Brian, often treating him like a fragile person, or a child. Here Stern treats him like a buddy, and he comes off like a regular dude for the most part! Would love to hear another interview with these guys in the future. Title: Re: Brian Howard Stern 1998 interview Post by: NatureShowInStereo on March 13, 2013, 10:50:28 AM Any leads on the older BW interview on the Stern show? The YT link for the 1989 one only has about 5 seconds or something of Brian in it total.
