Days of Future Passed is an interesting choice...where's my Moodies bud Erik?
I too have always loved the Moody Blues. To me they were a true "band" and came off as adults. I have had the good fortune to have seen them live throughout their long career. From the old days at Fillmore West and Winterland to just last year. They still have their voices. I do miss Ray Thomas. I think they still have one more great album in them.

I could not be more FREAKING excited. I'm going to merda myself, AAHH yay!!
I have been waiting for this since childhood, this just made my day Smiley

While it's nice he's doing Canada, and the UK, and Paris,  what's the problem with managament that there is NO US tour announced?
He's doing 9 friggin Canadian dates, and nothing mentioned for the whole USA?
Brian needs to get off his butt and kick his management HARD.   They're downright crummy.
A US artist with no US tour.
He always sells out his shows in Europe. Here,not so much. SAd but true.

I thought "Walkin'" was more of Al's tune.

because he's so short?

 LOL In a world populated by midgets, Al would rule supreme.
He really looked weird at the "We Are The World" reunion last year.The poor man has a head the size of Baltimore! The color job did'nt help either.
5  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Phil Spector on Brian Wilson on: October 25, 2010, 10:40:03 PM
But Spector DID diversify his sound - the Beatles and solo albums, the Dion album, Ramones, quite different from the wall of sound he pioneered. And he did cut a few great albums, too, it wasn't all about singles, try "Love is all we have to Give", by Sonny Charles & the Checkmates from '69, an overlooked masterpiece.
I don't believe Spector was in the studio during the recording of "Let It Be" but was handed the unmixed tapes the band gave him.

Speaking of Blondie,,I'm still unclear on why Blondie was freaking out onstage at Winterland in San Francisco in 1973 or '74. He didn't want to go on and had to  be restrained. I remember Al looking quite distressed. When they came again the following year (San Francisco Civic) no more Blondie but they all had on Striped shirts!

After seeing him with the Stones on the last couple of tours I must say he gives me the creeps.

He does seem to be morphing into Keef...
Blondie makes Keith look like Justin Bieber. Cheesy

Is that the same show where Mike the Lecher picks out a young nubile in the crowd and waltzes off with her? LOL
10  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Al Jardine's \ on: October 05, 2010, 04:22:54 PM
I must apologize and eat sh@t... I have badmouthed Al's "Postcard From Calif.." since rough tracks appeared on-line nearly 2 years ago.  said it was crap and would not shut up about it. I was at a pal's place over the weekend and he put it on not knowing about my feelings. Well I was blown away and went to Amoeba and bought it. The finished product far outshines the tracks that I  had heard earlier. The weakest song is "Drivin" but it kinda of grew on me in a Jan & Dean sort of way. Al has a great ear for harmony. He's a folkie all the way as well. All the other songs are great too. Buy it! Grin

Wow. If you're not taking the piss, that's probably big news.....
I wouldn't B.S. any of you . This is what was told to me.

Screw 'em! If they complain Al can just punch them in the shins!!
LOL LOL LOL

I heard today that attempts are being made to book the San Francisco Civic Auditorium for a Beach Boys reunion show. This is from a reliable source in  the concert production industry. The show is reportedly part of a tour. Sad

Yes..I have seen it too!! Shocked Shocked

I totally agree with AGD's facts.  That's the truth.  That's a fact Jack!  (or whatever Bill Murray says)

Regardless of AGD's "facts", I'll stick with my perception of how Brian's management should/will work. In Brian's best interest, he's under contract to finish an album for Disney, and his management will make that a priority whether there's a reunion or not. I'm sure you've read his wife/manager's comments recently regarding a reunion. I predict they will stick by that premise through the release of the Disney album. If there's a reunion sometime in 2011, Brian has plenty of time to compile and get into the studio to record it. I don't think they want this next album anti-climactic to a Beach Boys reunion (if it happens).

Personally, I'd rather see a reunion than an album of Disney songs.  Tongue  But like I said before this subject was talked to death, without Carl Wilson (and Dennis), it just won't be the same. And Bruce can sit in the audience and watch all he wants - I don't give a rat's ass.
What did Brian's charming wife have to say? I haven't heard Huh

My dick is a hamster as well.
I'm sure its the size of an acorn which would only confuse any hamster in your vicinity.Thank you. Cheesy
17  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Are You Sick Of Hearing About The "Reunion"? on: September 17, 2010, 11:17:07 PM
I know I am.We keep getting all these mixed messages.Mike says one thing.Big Al says another. Bruce chimes in as well. If Brian says he's not in than its just a glorified Mike and Bruce show.Seeing Brian uncomfortable on stage makes me uncomfortable and a reunion in the flesh will not be pretty. Undecided

Thanks Mr Don...where do I find it? Cheesy
19  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Will Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar be part of the reunion? on: September 13, 2010, 05:43:58 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.
I read someplace online that the Stones ARE touring next year. But....

21  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Name One Song You'd Wish The BBs Should Have Covered on: September 12, 2010, 07:25:23 PM
How about "Walk Away Renee" or The Band's "Whispering Pines"...

I am ill, sitting in bed nursing a cup of tea and slowing down tracks from Love You MILLIONS of times  Grin

Download it from here http://hypermammut.sourceforge.net/paulstretch/

extract the first rar file, and then drag mp3s you wanna slow down into the folder it makes - Then just open them in the program, and toggle the first dial.

Right now I'm listening to Ding Dang only 19x slower and it sounds like Carl and Mike are trying to write a shopping list from opposite ends of the galaxy. It also lasts 12 minutes  LOL
Better put away that Nyquil!! Shocked Shocked

How about "since she put me down I've been all through it in my head.." I've lived that line many times.
25  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: How cool is Al Jardine on: September 03, 2010, 06:44:01 PM
I like Al but Al is not cool.I would say he is quite EARNEST but not all that cool. Cool
