Title: Paul McCartney 2018 interview - On Brian and the Beach Boys Post by: STE on September 16, 2018, 02:37:03 PM A recent interview (August 8th) with Paul where he also discusses about Brian and the Beach Boys: https://youtu.be/DinLVo6rCy8?t=32m37s (https://youtu.be/DinLVo6rCy8?t=32m37s) Title: Re: Paul McCartney 2018 interview - On Brian and the Beach Boys Post by: Shady on September 16, 2018, 03:22:08 PM Maron is pretty educated on the beach boys around the smile era , expected him to dig deeper

Oh if that same story came to light involving this band, I cannot even fathom... :lol Title: Re: Paul McCartney 2018 interview - On Brian and the Beach Boys Post by: guitarfool2002 on September 17, 2018, 11:51:54 AM This was an issue I raised here back in 2012 courtesy a small clipping in the Smile Sessions box set (CD gatefold, far left panel FYI) that mentioned a meeting at Derek Taylor's house between Paul, George, Carl, and Brian.
That discussion tracked it down to the Beatles visit to LA during their last tour in 1966. Paul's recollection of hearing GV adds MORE info to this. It was most likely an early version of GV, either an acetate or a tape dub of what had to be the state the song was in at that time, whatever that may have been. But wow...there is some new info courtesy of Paul! Thanks Paul! Here's the original thread from 2012 which shed more light on that meeting at Derek Taylor's: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,12096.0.html (http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,12096.0.html) PS - Paul's comments as of this most recent interview again sheds light on how the Beach Boys, Brian, and Pet Sounds in particular were influences on what Paul and The Beatles were doing in the mid 60's.

If you have the 1990 CD release of Pet Sounds, the liner notes features a 1990 interview with McCartney conducted by David Leaf where Paul tells pretty much the same story he told Marc Maron.

Where do you get that? All I’ve ever heard him say when musicians mention BW is that he’s tried and understands it’s supposed to be great, but that he’s never been able to get into him, “too sad.” (Then he usually talks about Peter Green for about 500 years at a time.)

FWIW I just came across this article: Everything Fab Four: “Good Vibrations” and the Beatles https://www.culturesonar.com/everything-fab-four-good-vibrations-and-the-beatles/ If there were a respite for the Fab Four that summer, it occurred on Sun., Aug. 28, 1966, when Paul McCartney and George Harrison met the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson for the very first time. |
