SMiLE Sessions box set!

[Andrew G. Doe]

any fringe theory which explains a historical or current event as the result of a secret plot by conspirators of almost superhuman power and cunning.

My Lord, he read a couple of books and appreciated them, he's a regular superman.

Well, to have kept such a secret to himself for almost 45 years strikes me as pretty superhuman.  

Unless he forgot, of course...

[The Shift]

agree. Someone needs help.

I long for the day when we can return to normal healthy debate without crazy, drug fueled comments from lunatics that are pushing there own crap around because it makes their life seem worthy.

Brian Wilson is a gibbering moron not capable of higher thought. Any idea that the crazy fanatics are attempting to attribute to him was most likely nothing more than gas.

This is my favorite thread, people seem almost afraid to admit that SMiLE was psychedelic. Not sure why.

This just in: Brian Wilson was a stoner.
I know hard to believe, but Brian Wilson likely lived by the maxim "smoke weed everyday". I wonder how some of you would react if you traveled back to 1966 and Brian locked you in his car and told you about acid. If you guys think you're in stoner hell now, I imagine a day spent smoking hash with Brian and his astrologer would have you all begging for the sweet release of death.

It's statements like this that make you look like an idiot.. Many learn from mistakes they have made
And some like you don't

Smile was - and still is - indeed psychedelic, in both the strict and modern sense of the word. And yes, the company of stoners is excruciatingly tedious. However the evidence of tapes informs me that during the Smile era, Brian was capable of working with a high degree of lucidity and effectiveness while in the studio.

Someone on the SH boards who was at the Berkley event said something about Al talking a July date for the set.

[Mikie]

Someone on the Smiley Smile board who was at the Berkeley event also said something about Al talking a July date for the set.

[Cam Mott]

I'm repeating myself, again, but I think Brian was trying to get the point across early on, that SMiLE conceived under the influence didn't measure up to SMiLE executed in sober reality. Anyone had a similar experience?

Yeah, I heard that as well... 

[ESQ Editor]

July is possible… I'd say late July.

How "limited" will this boxset be?

Was the Pet Sounds Sessions boxset marketed as "limited" when it first came out?

The Pet Sounds Sessions wasn't a limited edition (I think it's still on catalog), but there wasn't a separate 2CD set, of course.

I heard Capitol/EMI say that the set would be very limited, and only available to people that have their money NOW; so if you have to save up for it, you're already out of luck, see?   

[letsmakeit31]

Maybe at least we should get a track listing and more details by next weekend???. Which will give us all something new to talk about (at last!!)

Well if my work had paid me what I should of been paid, rather than only half my wages I would not be begging for the release date to be Autumn time . And YES bgas I'm totally out of luck mate. I will have to rob a bank or HMV (If HMV has it in stock!!!) So expect to see me in the newspaper News Of The World this summer

Anyone else getting tired of coming her for updates only to find endless pages of Fishmonk's trolling? Can you do us a favor and take the attention whore shtick somewhere else?

No one else is tired of it. and the only ones that post they're tired of it, are just shills for Fishmonk.

[Dunderhead]

Some people here are really pathetic, and have taken to calling me out and making fun of me in other threads I haven't even posted in. Some of you have revealed yourself to be real losers, like 18th of May, who are way too concerned with the opinions some guy on the internet has about the Beach Boys. You're being big babies crying and carrying on because somebody doesn't agree with you. There's a lot of indignant whining, a lot of getting all fired up and being offended, a lot of mockery and downright bullying.
So to some of you, 18th of May, Hypehat, etc I have nothing to say to your little cry baby hissy fits anymore. I'll post whatever crazy theories I damn well please, and I'm not going to run around and kiss your asses because you feel like playing stupid little head games. Grow up and MOVE ON. I don't give a sh*t if you think I'm stupid or overenthusiastic or fanatical or crazy, shut the f*** up. If you actually want to discuss SMiLE, I'll be happy to oblige, but all the "there goes fishmonk again" and all the whining and complaining and bitching, and all the making fun of me in every thread that pops up is really pathetic and I'm not even going to acknowledge it anymore.
Jesus.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

[Dunderhead]

I've disliked plenty of people's posting styles since I've started reading these forums, I've been irked by plenty of opinions and there are some of you here that I really dislike.
That being said, this is a safe place where we can come and discuss the band we like, and it should remain that way. I respect everyone who posts here and if somebody is annoying me or offending my sensibility I just try and keep my mouth shut and just let them go on their way.
I don't behave like a baby and make fun of that person in every thread I post in.
