It's like they say....The family that plays together, stays together!

no talent bum Stamos!

Competent guitarist, drummer, singer and actor? Yeah, no-talent bum. I'm sure you've got him beat.

Tongue firmly in cheek I assure you Luther.

Yes!

I am qualified and ready for that gig. While not eye-candy, I fit the no-talent bill fine

He is good looking, has a full head of hair, great teeth and sings with the band that keeps us here posting and seems to be friends with ex group members. While we as fans speculate on who said what 40 years ago to who, he can ask in person. Face it. We are jealous. We want to be Stamos!

Onstage he is to the girls what the cheerleaders were to the guys. Eye-candy. I wish I could be that no talent bum Stamos!

Lead singers and a show-pony guitarist have it over the rest of a band anyday.

I think the Stones did!

New Album every 3-7 years.
Tour.
Live album of tour.
Live video-DVD of tour.

Sex, drugs and general debauchery in between.

No doubt in a album perspective the band would have been held in a very high regard had they split up after 'Surfs Up'.
But with families to feed, bills to pay etc they had to dumb it down and milk it by touring.

I think the band may have done quite well mid 80s - mid 90s touring as a reunion act had they split about 72.

Could they have made as much for say a 2 year reunion tour as 10 years of every summer touring. Who nows?

Kind of cool and not impossible.

Just ask Liv Tyler.

Good Luck Denni, whatever your angle.

Lime moves into docs with Beach Boy co-pro film   

Hollyoaks producer Lime Pictures is venturing into arts programming with a BBC4 profile of Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson.


Dennis Wilson - the Real Beach Boy will be part of the channel’s Legends series and will uncover the early life of Wilson, the only actual surfer in the California band. DJ Mark Radcliffe narrates the film, which features new interviews with Wilson’s brother and bandmate Brian, sons and friends.

Matt O’Casey, who made BBC doc Blondie - One Way or Another, will produce and direct, and his indie Dusty Slider will co-produce the 60-minute doc. Executive producers are Tony Wood for Lime and Paul Bullock for the BBC.

From memory, Mike has said he thinks 'Til I Die' was the last great BW song.

What does anyone think the last great ML lyric was?

I think this whole Dick Rising is limp . It's hard to provde proof that stands up! The subject has climaxed and can now be inserted into the laid to rest file.

 

The Best Part of SIP?

Introduced me to the original 'Hot Fun' from Sly!....Sweeeet.

Yeah its the Pastmaster.

If anyone is interested, there is a Greenline issue here.

Another Dick?

It happens...Getoverit!!!

The picture was taken in 57-58 and the guy looks late 30s-early 40s which meant he was probably named around 1920 and 'Richard' at that.
Perfectly innocent for the time.

Yes!

if it weren't for him, there would be no Beach Boys.

He always kept a eye out for the boys.

Six producers?

Two words...'Train' and 'wreck'.

Musikk The Flame, The Byrds, The Band, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, They’re all Blondie’s bands! He’s the only person who’s been a member of The Flame, The Byrds, The Beach Boys, The Band and The Rolling Stones. Blondie Chaplin is still touring and recording with The Stones, and has done so since 1994. Blondie Chaplin is from South Africa, (born July 7th 1951) the son of a Zulu princess, and on his father’s side he’s related to his band mate, Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts. Blondie left his native South Africa at 15. The apartheid regime made life tough for a young rock musician, and also for the majority of the population. So Blondie, and his band, The Flame, left for London, where Carl Wilson discovered them during a performance. Wilson signed The Flame to The Beach Boys own record company, Brother Records. After a couple of years in the UK, he was asked to join The Beach Boys as a singer and guitarist, so he headed off to the US, and has lived there ever since. He now resides in Los Angeles, with his wife and daughter. Close to Keith During the late 1980’s, Blondie toured with The Band, replacing some of Richard Manuel’s vocals, and playing guitar. For quite a few years, he’s been a close friend of Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones. Keith included Blondie Chaplin on his very personal reggae project: The Wingless Angels, recorded at Keith’s house in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and before the 1997/98 “Bridges to Babylon” tour, he was asked to join Keith’s band, The Rolling Stones. And Blondie was happy to! He’s been on every tour and album since then and never missed a gig… He’s popular among the boys and is one of very few people who are great friends with all four Stones. Among Blondie’s favourite things to do is exploring the history of the blues, preferably with connoisseur for the blues, Keith. Shopping for carpets, rugs and kelims is another favourite. All band members are passionate collectors of such items. He was recently in New York, working on material in a recording studio with Keith Richards. The only thing Blondie’s willing to comment on is: “Yeah, we played music and had a few drinks.” They didn’t leave the studio for a week! A new Stones tour of Asia is rumoured to happen late this year, and then there’s rumours of a tour of Europe and the US in 2010, and perhaps the opening show for the London Olympics in 2012 will see the Stones celebrating their 50th anniversary. Solo work Blondie has an interesting solo career and has released three albums, so far. The most recent, “Between Us”, came out in 2006. He’s been doing studio work on his fourth solo album this spring, between recording sessions with some of his band mates, like Ronnie Wood and Bernard Fowler. The new solo album is scheduled for release this summer. Blondie in Norway Blondie Chaplin will be in Norway between June 5th and June 29th. Blondie will be accompanied by Dutch-Norwegian Pieter Kentrop on vocals and guitar. He’ll be performing songs from his solo albums as well as Rolling Stones classics. He has done a couple of shows in Norway previously. Hønefoss – a crowd of 600, sold out 2 weeks in advance. Bekkestua: Onkel Blaa – full house. For more information about Blondie: www.blondiechaplin.com Or: Wikipedia.com The Stones about Blondie: Ronnie Wood: - Blondie’s great, both as a singer and guitar player. He’s very useful when it comes to filling in on some songs. It doesn’t tie us down, it broadens our range. It gives you a new sort of freedom when a defined part of a song is covered by the back up singers or the horns. It gives you the opportunity to find the one exact tone, or a certain riff, because you’re always certain that they’re covering your ass. Charlie Watts: Keith takes things a lot more relaxed. He’s just fine with songs that have been lying there for years, marinating, though he has some recordings with fragments and ideas, that he’s recorded himself or with Blondie Chaplin. They’re usually fantastic, magical little pieces. Wonderful moments.

From memory I thought it was the same as 'Live in London' shots?

Brian plays the Beach Boys hits because he blew away his best years in what could have been a successful solo career. If McCartney could manage both another band (Wings) and solo to keep in the charts, Paul Simon solo hits,  plus other artists then Brian (clean) could have done the same.

In 1988 at 46 years old it makes great press to launch a solo career but little else.

['Don't Fcuk With The Formula']

Haven't you guys learnt anything!

Rule number 1. The hits, nothing but the hits, only the hits, people want to hear hits, summer means hits, hits get released only in summer!

Bring out another Summer compilation of Beach Boys summer hits. Brilliant!!!

Say after me and repeat. 'Don't Fcuk With The Formula'.

Unfortunately he looks like Rob Reiner.

Good to see a Wilson onstage with Mike again.
