Title: Will Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar be part of the reunion? Post by: GoogaMooga on September 13, 2010, 01:58:07 PM I've read in the news that the reunion could be at least Brian, Mike, Al, Bruce and David, and that is as good as we can hope for, but if Blondie and Ricky could join as well, it would be perfect. I know Blondie is with the Rolling Stones and Ricky tours with Bonnie Raitt, but as the Rolling Stones are not likely to tour next year, I think the Beach Boys should ask Blondie to join. We need him to sing "Sail on Sailor" on stage, that song is a must. If Ricky can't drum, then perhaps Mike Kowalski.

But "Help Me Rhonda" should be sung by Al, of course. Wasn't Mike Kowalski the longest serving BB live drummer? Title: Re: Will Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar be part of the reunion?

I think there was a second Flame album, but whether Carl had any hand in it, I don't know. Title: Re: Will Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar be part of the reunion? Post by: Mikie on September 13, 2010, 02:33:24 PM Hey Googa, you ever hearda Figueroa? He played percussion and sometimes drums in the 70's when Dennis was too drunk or coked out to play. Kowalski had trouble keeping time - he out-stayed his welcome a few years.

I think there was a second Flame album, but whether Carl had any hand in it, I don't know. Carl had nothing to do with the 2nd Flame album, which wasn't ever released. The CD reissue of the original Flame CD is of questionable legality. Title: Re: Will Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar be part of the reunion?

Kowalski had trouble keeping time - he out-stayed his welcome a few years. Yes, I've heard of Bobby Figueroa. I'm not that well read on the live history of the band, but I find it odd that Kowalski could serve as long as he did, if, as you say, he wasn't that good a drummer. I just suggested him because I want the reunion to be as historic and authentic as possible. Title: Re: Will Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar be part of the reunion?

Post by: Mike's Beard on September 13, 2010, 02:55:07 PM Andrew will correct me if I'm talking arse here but that CD is probably comprised of stuff they recorded in South Africa pre Brother signing as "The Flames". The second album for Brother has never seen the light of day period, despite Steve Desper's tireless efforts to get it a release.

Post by: Jason on September 13, 2010, 03:01:23 PM From Bas Möllenkramer's EXCELLENT Flames site -
Quote The Best Of The Flames (CD) Teal records in South Africa assembled songs from Burning Soul and Soulfire into what should have been an excellent Flames compilation. Unfortunatley the master tapes of the Flames albums are lost for good (see "The Lost Tapes" elsewhere on this website) and so this Compact Disc had to be mastered from records. It would seem by listening to the CD that the engineers at Teal only had a mono copy of Soulfire available to them, in addition to a stereo copy of Burnign Soul. It's feasible to make CD's from records, but it requires high preformance computers and software to get rid of pops and clicks without disturbing the music. This was demonstrated succesfully back in 1976 when Soundstream restored Caruso recordings from the beginning of this century. The Flames CD was mastered using second rate equipment and the result is disappointing. It is my belief better results can be obtained using top of the line declicking and denoising equipment, and searching for mint condition copies of the original records in true stereo. This CD cannot unfortunately be recommended. If it is your only way to hear the Flames then buy it, but be aware the records sound far better. As far as I'm concerned, speaking as someone who's heard the 1970 Flame LP and the 1963-69 Flames sides, all of their stuff belongs on CD. The Flames stuff in particular - you'll hear why they were the biggest band in South Africa. Title: Re: Will Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar be part of the reunion? Post by: GoogaMooga on September 13, 2010, 03:05:29 PM Who's got the rights to the second album? If they were the biggest band in South Africa, there must be a market for this stuff. I quite like the Flame CD I've got, but it was a needle drop and rather muddy at that.

They were very big in South Africa - among the non-white audience. Then they left to try their luck overseas, got noticed by The BB and ended up in the US. I'm guessing Brother owns the rights to the 2nd album, although possession being nine points of the law, Steve Desper would have a very, very good claim as he's been the guardian of those tapes since 1970, not to mention producing them.

Other than Steve's morals then, I wonder why there's been no unofficial release for the 2nd album? It could be a Sea Of Tunes release( hint hint) who would be able to say how they were obtained, much like the SOT's that are available... even if it only sold 500-1000. no fancy artwork or tracklist needed, tho I'm betting ther'd be volunteers to write them.

Leave a more steady, well-paying gig to be treated more or less as a sideman/third-rate member with a volatile band who can't even agree on whether they want to do anything and is unlikely to do more than a couple of shows, tops, ever again? Why would he? So the half dozen message board enthusiasts around the world will cheer when he makes it more "authentic" (to those few years he had anything to do with this band with a five-decade life)? I think not.Title: Re: Will Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar be part of the reunion?

I think not.Well, we know that Al would like to do a major tour, but that still leaves out the other guys. Say for instance the Rolling Stones only tour one last time, that's of course two years on the road, but if the Beach Boys do a world tour, that would also be lucrative for Blondie. It depends how he feels about the Beach Boys gig and his role as a one time full member of the band. He's got no history with the Rolling Stones other than the last tour, I don't think.

Title: Re: Will Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar be part of the reunion? Post by: jeremylr on September 13, 2010, 11:39:03 PM Blondie's been with the Stones at least since the "Bridges To Babylon" album in 1997. He was pretty much a utility player then, playing keys, bass, doing vocals, various percussion, but the Stones have always underutilized his talent. He certainly doesn't get enough credit.
Regardless, he's a superb musician & vocalist. In a perfect world, Blondie & Ricky would do at least 1 major concert with the BB.

I'm not holding my breath though. :'( Please do not quote me on this but I'm positive I read an interview with Mr. Desper about a year ago somewhere on the web in which he said that he had the tapes for the second album and had a few years prior, approached Brother for clearance to release them. In a nutshell they said no and that any means to get them released independently would result in legal action. Again my memory is shaky so I could be wrong.

Mike K is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, but his drumming was never really up to par in the 90's and 00's. And Adrian has a better Frankie Valli voice than Frankie does, but 60's Brian Wilson he ain't!

Indeed, I would have expected a Global Moderator to have refrained from commenting in a thread that wasn't directed at him in the first place. Not good for the image or level of respect.

Yeah, maybe, but he doesn't have the sheet music to "Surfin'"! Title: Re: Will Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar be part of the reunion? Post by: Andrew G.

Title: Re: Will Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar be part of the reunion? Post by: The Heartical Don on September 15, 2010, 10:24:41 AM Just went through this thread for the first time. Fascinating. Talking about a reunion that most likely will remain hypothetical. But halfway through things go awry.
I saw a headline in there: 'Famous High Brow Fan Site Collapses Under Massive Feud Over Imaginary Reunion' ...only with the Beach Boys. I need a drink.

What type of hamster are we talking about? Will there be any hamsters present at the Beach Boys 50th reunion show and if so what role should they play? Could a family of hamsters comfortably live in Mike's beard? Title: Re: Will Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar be part of the reunion? Post by: Mike's Beard on September 16, 2010, 11:17:55 AM Hamster dick as in 'hung like a mouse'.
It's entirely plausible that Mike may have had a family of rodents living in his facial hair back in the 70's. Peter Griffin had several chicks nesting in his in a Family Guy episode. The hamsters could have performed a grooming service for Mike's beard as he slept at night in exchange for being allowed to eat whatever tidbits of food they found caught around his mouth and chin. Unfortunately the hamsters will not be attending any 50th reunion shows, as like so many others, they had a falling out with Mike some time ago.
