We're Back!!!

[Andrew G. Doe]

It was slow.  I had posts lingering for approval for days.

Really ?  That's bizarre - mine just went straight on.

[Shady]

I tried to join the Hoffman board but they never activated my account

The last few days has been bad 

The whole Leila thing was pretty interesting, but mostly for people's crazy reactions.  I don't get the fly-in vocal controversy: they're not replacing the "proper" versions.  Smile tends to bring out the worst in people, though, so I'd rather anticipate the set than argue over stuff I haven't heard.  I'm excited regardless of what she posted.

Can somebody fill me in on this "Leila" thing..

I missed it completely

[Dunderhead]

Somebody claimed to have heard stuff from the box, the first disc anyway. It seemed pretty plausible to me and it seemed everyone confirmed what she said.

Look has vocals, but only a line or two of "child child"s lifted from somewhere else.
The sessions portions includes the Do You Like Worms verse vocals from BWPS. It sounds like we didn't get a clear take of them, but apparently Brian sings some of it, and get this, it's not to the melody we all know and love.
Barnyard and I'm In Great Shape have vocals flown in from the demo.
Barnshine is at the end of OMP.

Best forum ever!!! Phew in time for Smile Sessions release

[guitarfool2002]

I have been clicking the forum's link this past week to no avail: Just before heading out today, I clicked...and the board was back!

Congrats and cheers to everyone involved. Glad to see this is back and everything survived. Damn shame what happened, just a pathetic turn of events all around. Hope the lessons will be remembered...

Good to see everything up and running, I really mean that.

[monicker]

The Leila thing all sounds plausible and i wouldn't be surprised if everything that was written ends up being true, but the posts themselves have to be a put-on. It was like a caricature.

[guitarfool2002]

especially because you can barely talk about Smile on what's left of it.

How's that?

Nah, pay me enough, I'll tell you now. 

[Wrightfan]

Thank goodness! I was THIS close to making a proboards Smiley Smile board.

[Rocker]

Good to see you all again !

[Bill Barnyard]

Thank goodness - its like an old friend got ill and went into hospital, only to make a full recovery. What the hell am I saying?
Oh never mind welcome back!!!

Where's your review, that I want to read

[Chris Brown]

That's what I thought too, especially her quips about her Smile-obsessed friend. That line about complaining so much about something he loves seemed like a deliberate (and somewhat accurate) dig at your average Smile fan. Still though, like we've said, everything her friend wrote seems plausible and has been confirmed elsewhere in many cases.

Either way, thankfully it won't be long before we can hear for ourselves!

Hello, all!

Frankly, it was a nice thing to have the board taken away from me for a week or so. Cleanses the palette and freshens the mind.

But it's wonderful to have it back. I missed ya'll terribly.

[drbeachboy]

Indeed, it is wonderful to have SS back up and running. So, a big thank you to Chuck and whoever else was involved in bringing the board back to life.

[MaxL]

It feels so good to have this board back, the last few days have been pretty grim, let us never speak of them again.

[Mark H.]

All is right in the universe again - welcome back!

[Cam Mott]

Yahoo!

Where is this Leila thing of which you speak?

[Chris Brown]

Yahoo!

Where is this Leila thing of which you speak?

On the Hoffman board, in the tenth incarnation of their Smile discussion thread - page 10 or 11 I want to say.

[SamMcK]

I almost went crazy without this board, it doesn't help i'm at the peak of my Beach Boys/Smile fascination.  I felt lost looking at all the other Beach Boys message Boards, nothing else comes close to here! 

[sparkydog1725]

I mainly lurk here, but I'm really glad the board's back. It's taking the sting out of my scratched-up Pink Floyd Immersion discs. 

It would have been a real shame to have the board down on November 1st after you folks have waited all these years.    I doubt that this release would even be happening if not for many of you.

especially because you can barely talk about Smile on what's left of it.

How's that?

Because in the threads people are constantly reminded that they can talk about other music.

That and it's annoying how the Smile discussion is limited to just one thread - makes it difficult to keep up with the discussion sometimes.

Same, that's how the whole AGD issue started.
