The 50th Anniversary Beach Boys band includes members from Mike and Bruce's band, Brian's band, and Al Jardine's band.

Who from Al's group?  Mike was quoted recently as saying 'We're mostly using BW's band,' so I thought it was BW band, + Coswill on drums, & Scott Totten on guitar.

Gary Griffin played with Brian but also with Al. Don't know about any other.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

As others have mentioned, it seems the ultimate goal from Mike and Brian's perspective is to make this as seamless of a transition as possible.  Yes, there will be songs that will require some band members to have to learn new parts---but nothing is worse than having to go through a whole set of songs with a new drummer--regardless if they've played these songs before or not.  Having a new drummer sit in is like having a completely different band: sometimes it's great but sometimes It throws you off.  Every musician has their own style...who's to say Ricky would really gel with the band?   In Mike's position, I'd be confident in knowing that my guy John Cowsill has and can do the part, there's a sense of security there---I wouldn't dare throw away that guarantee on bringing in someone new--- even if it was an old friend. 

That said, I'm totally for Blondie and Ricky having a full set either as an opener or in the middle of the show.

THERE you go. I knew you'd come around! Fataar is a drummer's drummer. Why do you think he took over for Dennis in the early 70's when he hurt his hand? Both Dennis and Carl knew he could do the job. Guy knew the oldies like the back of his hand and picked up new material in a flash. No wonder Dennis wanted Rick on his album.

Bonghit: The answer is Al himself. And David played in his band at some gigs too.

And isn't Scott Bennett going to go with them on the 50th?

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

I don't remember noticing Bennett in the "Do It Again" video, but maybe all the personnel details aren't arranged yet.

Yup, Bennett was definitely there.  He was at the tail end of the full video.

That's why I asked if Bennett is joining The Beach Boys on tour this year - because he was in the video. Has it been confirmed yet that pretty much everyone in the video (in addition to Marks) will be in the 50th Anniversary shows?

From what I just heard, it doesn't look like Blondie (and therefor Ricky) will be part of the reunion/celebration. Things are up to the Boys, maybe someone will have the bright idea to include them.

BTW does Bruce still post on BBBritain ? Maybe someone can ask him what he thinks....

I just saw Blondie play the other day. When he introduced Sail on Sailor he said something to the effect of "I used to play in a band called the Beach Boys. They were a bunch of weirdos, but this is a good song."

Wondering if he was refering to the weird TM stuff or just Mike Love?

Did you watch/hear the video? That's not how I speak — it's how Blondie pronounced it — I thought it was cute.

The word 'weird' does not make me immediately think of Mike. The are others in line, ahead of him.

I disagree — Mike is definitely weird to me — maybe not the top of the list, but certainly higher than Bruce, Al, David, and Carl. Brian, and Mike himself, apparently agreed — check my sig below…  Grin
