It's my understanding Captiol can release whatever they want, and it doesn't matter what any member of the group want. I could be wrong, but that's what I was told. Also, as I understand, once the 1969 unissued Capitol stuff is out, Brother can choose to do nothing about 1970 onward. I could be wrong, would love to know more.

I personally don't understand why someone would pay to see Greatest Hits Live, when the lead singer of most hits (Mike Love) is touring as The Beach Boys. Why would seeing Brian sing the same songs (off key/out of tune) be better? It's kinda like a tribute to Mike Love oddly enough, in my opinion. Same for the upcoming Christmas Tour: Mike sang lead on the hits. He's the original voice. It would be like me going to see Peter Tork perform Monkees hits, when Micky Dolenz is touring as The Monkees. I prefer the original vocalist! Now, before you get mad that I'm a Mike Love fan, Brian on tour doing his Beach Boys lead vocal songs, album cuts, solo stuff, that would be cool. I like them both.

They took too long to challenge it...and the rights would have not gone to only Brian, but considering Mike co-wrote a huge chunk of songs that were-for years-credited to only Brian, should have gone to Wilson/Love....but again, taking 20 years to file a suit is my opinion on why it didn't happen.

Uh...you know it was Dennis who took WIBNTLA off the Surf's Up album, right? CARL pissed him off, not Mike..though it seems you think Love had something o do with it (he did not)...and, it is Dennis who sings the wonderful tag line on the end of "It's OK", so he must have liked it (more than Sail On Sailer, which he bailed out of) Personally, I think WIBNTLA is mediocure (and the MIC version mercifully cuts it back from the full version). He also was kicked out of The Beach Boys several times, so he got some distance-trouble was, Dennis was a manic drug addicted alcoholic. His disease is what took the life out of him. The one-octive croon his voice was reduced to was attributed to cociane, etc...

The Dolenz LP is so great (a companion LP of the unreleased Dolenz stuff from then would be nice ). My other favorite band besides The Beach Boys IS The Monkees (you should hear Dolenz sing "Wild Honey"!) Problem is, Unleash The Love wasn't done, and we've heard the best stuff...yet still, if Dolenz sells a thousand, certainy Mike's stuff would (and technically, all the Dolenz stuff was already released). GOOD LUCK 7A! Awesome work so far!

Only this board could turn Brian's positive comments about his cousin into some sort of negative. To those participating in thist kind of discourse, I speak for a lot of us when I ask you to PLEASE STOP. It's exceedingly boring to read, cuts down on actual valuable posts, and most of us don't care about your back and forth who can more poorly prove a moot point.

Many of you are woefully misguided about Mike Love. I assure you, he doesn't sit around stewing on old issues, or constantly think of Brian Wilson. Additionally, you can selectively choose quotes from almost anyone out of context to fit your narrative.
Brian Wilson (paraphrased) to Mike Love "You're getting senile" 1996. Or "My band is better than The Beach Boys ever were" (few years ago). Or "I burned the Smile tapes". Etc, etc. Why, you could say Brian is angry and a liar!
Point is, when people on this board are most interested in proving some obtuse point to one another, PLEASE DO SO VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE! The rest of us do not care if you like Brian or Mike better, or some such nonsense.

Many things stand out. How and when did Melinda start getting even billing with Brian? Weird to me (you don't call Mike Love and have his wife honing in). It was my thought that brother Carl actually did more to get rid of Landy than anyone else (perhaps I'm wrong), since Melinda was not married to him during that time-it took family, like Carl, Audree and perhaps Mike. Speaking of Mike, Brian clearly doesn't want to talk about him...that's telling. Worth a listen to anyone reading this.
