Does anybody know what caused Al and Mike to have a falling out in the 1990's? All I know is that it was bad enough that Mike tried to kick Al out of the group. In fact, Al missed a few shows. The official story was that Al had a "hearing problem".  Roll Eyes As a understand it, they never got along after that.

There used to be a lot of 1995-1996 concert videos of the beach boys on YouTube. Carl didn't really look good in any of them.

When did Carl get ill? A lot of people are now saying that it was in early 1997, but I distinctly remember hearing rumors of Carl having cancer back in 1996.  I had a chance to meet the beach boys back in 1996. I now deeply regret not taking that oppertunity.  Sad

I'd like to see Brian and his band do the Adult Child album.  Grin
6506  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Last known pictures of Dennis and Carl on: September 24, 2007, 09:44:12 PM
Can anybody post any more late period carl photos?
6507  Smiley Smile Stuff / Smiley Smile Reference Threads / Re: The Definitive Vocal Credits Thread... on: September 24, 2007, 08:32:28 PM
I know that this has been beaten to death as it is, but I figured I'd add my 2 cents. On the "Mr. Fulton" line, I'm hearing Brian, especially on the "ton" of the word "Fulton".  It has the slight nasal quality of Brian's falsetto. But I also hear Carl for the rest of that line.

On a slightly unrelated note, "Steamboat" creeps the hell out of me for some reason.  LOL I just listened to it for the first time the other night, in total darkness. I won't do that again!  LOL
6508  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Last known pictures of Dennis and Carl on: September 24, 2007, 08:19:00 PM
That black and white picture of Brian and Dennis is really sad. Dennis looks...like he already died.  Sad  There is a pro shot film of all six members of the group doing the rounds. It's from Seattle, supposedly from around July. Dennis plays for about 95% of the concert.  Dennis smiles and waves to the crowd, but you can tell that he's totally gone. The spirit in his eyes isn't there anymore.
6509  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Last known pictures of Dennis and Carl on: September 23, 2007, 08:58:11 PM
Does anybody know when and/or where the last known pictures of Dennis and Carl were taken? Can anybody post them if possible? Or, can somebody post a few "late period" pictures of them?
6510  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: BW does 'Proud Mary' - yea or nay? on: September 22, 2007, 01:51:59 AM
I love it.  Grin If he doesn't re-record it in the future, I think he should release his version from the 90's(?). I LOVE that bass-brass/synth riff every time Brian yells "Rollin'!". It's so funky!  Cool
6511  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Rollin' Up To Heaven on: September 21, 2007, 08:29:47 PM
AKA the 'dirty' version of "Ding Dang"  Roll Eyes
People always refeer to it as the "dirty" version of "Ding Dang", but personally, I hear nothing in common with the two songs.
6512  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Rollin' Up To Heaven on: September 21, 2007, 08:27:51 PM
Did Brian "write" the song? For some reason, I always pictured Dennis as the 'instigator" of that song.  LOL
6513  Smiley Smile Stuff / Smiley Smile Reference Threads / Re: The Definitive Vocal Credits Thread... on: September 21, 2007, 08:15:15 PM
It pains me to admit that it wasn't until maybe three years ago that I realised what "U Say Asee" was...  Shocked
Ok, last night I listened to "Funky Pretty". I must have listened to that section about 30 times in a row. I have no fucking idea what that line means. I give up! Somebody PLEASE tell me before my brain explodes.  Huh
6514  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Rollin' Up To Heaven on: September 20, 2007, 10:35:28 PM
What do you guys think of this song?  Grin Musically, I think it kicks butt.  Smiley I have a few questions about it. Does anybody know when this was recorded? I have read that it was done sometime between 1972-73. But, I have also read that it was recorded at the Caribou Ranch in 1974. I thought the tapes from the Caribou seesions didn't exist anymore? I have one more question. Who does the falsetto bit? Is it Brian?
6515  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The cocaine tapes on: September 20, 2007, 08:35:45 PM
Other than "Oh Lord", the thing that interests me about the "cocaine tapes" is the version of "Heroes and Villians". Remember, Brian would always leave the stage whenever the song was played in concert. So, why would he suddenly record a "demo" of it?

My version of "Heroes..." ends abruptly. I would assume that the original tape ended at this point.
6516  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Lucky Old sun review thread! on: September 20, 2007, 08:07:48 PM


I like Scott's intro and don't think of it as a mock English accent-- it's really an imitation of the singing style that was popular in the 20s. The pronunciation is a little bit different, but it's more like early movie actors in the U.S. were taught to speak for the "talkies."


[/quote] Exactly. I hear Al Jolson when I listen to it.
6517  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The cocaine tapes on: September 20, 2007, 12:07:14 AM
Speaking of "Oh Lord", can anybody transcribe the lyrics for me?
6518  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Lucky Old sun review thread! on: September 19, 2007, 08:31:09 PM
So, as far as I know, this hasn't been answered yet. Is "Goin' Home" in TLOS the Paley sessions tune?

Not sure, is 'Going Home' doing the rounds with a different title, it's not on Paley Sessions bleg?
Parts of it were also very similar to "Rollin' up to heaven", minus the filthy lyrics!


I kept hearing "Rollin' up to Heaven" throughout the entire piece. In fact, one of the lyrics to part of a song is "Rollin' up to Heaven all day long". It makes me wonder if Brian has actually heard the song before.  Grin
6519  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The cocaine tapes on: September 19, 2007, 02:59:35 AM
My copy of the "cocaine sessions" also has about 12 and a half minutes of Brian talking to two guys that sound in their teens. They sound like a bunch of nervous kids.  Cheesy Any idea where this recording comes from?
6520  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The cocaine tapes on: September 19, 2007, 02:57:13 AM
I'm oddly facinated with "Oh Lord". On one hand, Brian's voice is REALLY shot, and the demo is long and unfocused. But, Brian did sing the demo with passon, like he really meant it. It's beautiful and haunting, but also sad all in one.
6521  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The cocaine tapes on: September 18, 2007, 12:50:44 AM
What is "Night Blooming Jasmine"?
6522  Smiley Smile Stuff / The Beach Boys Media / Re: Brian Pics 72-74 on: September 17, 2007, 02:31:27 AM
It would be interesting to see a thread like this on Dennis.  Smiley
6523  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / The cocaine tapes on: September 17, 2007, 12:50:57 AM
It's been said that Brian and Dennis recorded some demos in a studio sometime in 1981-ish. But, the recordings that are circulating sound more like they were recorded in somebody's house. There is various talking, coughing, and other noises throughout songs. Also, you can barely hear Brian sing. Does anybody know exactly when and where these recordings took place? Does anybody know how these recordings came to be in the hands of the general public? Are there any more recordings from this period that exist, but don't circulate? The version of "Oh Lord" is over seven minutes, but it's still incomplete. It's pretty obviously two separate versions of the song put together. Were the "cocaine tapes" that circulate recorded on the same day?
6524  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Can Brian still do it? on: September 17, 2007, 12:40:45 AM
When I started this thread, I didn't mean to ask "Can he remake something as brilliant as Pet Sounds". I think what I meant was, can Brian be locked in a room with only him and the "Wrecking Crew", and come out with something that isn't a total disgrace?
6525  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Carl Wilson's drug years on: September 11, 2007, 08:15:04 PM
I know, but what if he was that bad into drugs? Do you think that Carl was more mentally "prepared" to not be suseptible to "mind control" or "brainwashing"?  People have comtemplated that Landy would not have been able to help Dennis, just because of Dennis's personality. Well, what about Carl?
