I don't see Brian or Mike doing this, but maybe approving of it (as they prolly have to), but I could see Al and maybe Bruce putting together some "archived songs that we haven't heard."

Somehow, I could see them taking some of the rare stuff (not so rare to booters) but taking songs that are Beachy & cleaning them up like Goin' to the Beach, Almost Summer, It's a Beautiful Day, Skatetown USA, etc.

I honestly think that if they do put out another new release besides SMiLE, I kinda think Brian would rather write new songs than deal with old stuff, probably because they might "bring back bad memories" or something.

IF true, it's just one of the best studio drummers working/recording with the boys. And don't worry - Eddie is more a Rock'n Roll kinda drummer albeit he played on numerous country records.  Grin

Agreed. Some great non-country albums have been recorded in Nashville.

A new album being recorded? And we hear it first from a session musician?

If that's true, I just hope they're not re-hashing old hits. And please, PLEASE, no so-called "guests". I don't want to hear Lady Gaga or Justin Timberlake on what could likely be the Boys' last work.

Eddie Bayers played on IMAGINATION as well as STARS & STRIPES. I believe he was a contact via Joe Thomas. If this is indeed real, then it appears that the Beach Boys have decided to work with a guy who helped out on the last Beach Boys sessions, bypassing anyone in Brian's band or Mike & Bruce's band.

Nashville is home to a good number of non-country artists and songwriters including Jack White - I think the down-home yet urban atmosphere appeals to the creative types as much as anything, and there are some really nice studios there too with a lot of fine session musicians on call. I'm traveling there myself in the summer - it would be cool if they're still in town!

Although the idea of them working on a Stars And Stripes part 2 isn't too far out of the realm of reality, I hope whatever they do avoids the usual "reunion" cliches and focuses on good songs and good vocals. Leave the "guests" home for this one, keep it in the immediate family, I say.

I sure would like to have Hal Blaine on the sessions whatever they're doing...that would be a nice touch.

just a thought: do you believe that they had enough time to write new songs (and that's what Mike wants to do with Brian) ? Personally I don't think so. So if this is true I have a bad feeling about it

I'm sharing this thought/fear, actually. But wouldn't it be nice if they used some new songs...

Of course. It would be nice if they for one time could do something right. But it's the gosh darn Beach Boys....

I'd rather Mike expand "Brian's Back" into a twenty minute epic featuring Justin Beiber and The Black Eyed Peas than have to suffer another Stars & Stripes.

YOu can pretty much take every version of Brian's Back and make a "20-minute epic" out of it....that last one from Unleash the Love is pretty hard to get through...one thing, it's about the 4th or 5th time listening to the song and second, the sincerity and slowness of it just makes me wanna vomit....let alone how Mike has treated Brian around the time he recorded this.

I have no idea how to answer you back. You seem convinced of your opinion.

Well, actually I am! Grin And you're convinced of your opinion, too, aren't you? But as I said, it's ok to disagree, I respect your opinion, it's as valid as mine and so far I enjoyed discussing it! Smiley If you should discover sources that might change my mind, show me the links, if you want to, I'll check them out.
