What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

[SMiLE Brian]

Fleet Foxes would be cool at the grammies with the band as a way to show the next generation of vocal groups.

Katy Perry is old news. All the cool kids are listening to Skrillex now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cXDgFwE13g

And they have a mutual friend in Van Dyke Parks...

They just gotta go up there, perform that song in that exact arrangement, the curtain closes and that's it. Bam. I don't know if the Grammys actually have curtains. but eh.

[bossaroo]

not a huge fan of Barbara Ann, but that pretty much kicked ass. and could never be duplicated. Brian looks about 20 ft. tall on that riser!

I'd prefer Cabin Essence, but I will settle for California Girls. Hoping they don't do Do It Again... again. (try saying THAT 5 times fast!)

Something like this - including Brian and Dave of course - would be very nice and cool:

Say what you will, but I'm sure Stamos will be there. I'm hopeful he won't be at any concerts outside of the U.S. I think he only appears with them in the states, right ?

I remember a Letterman performance leading up to the BW tribute concert shown on TNT some years ago, and Brian was there to do Sail On Sailor...and the stage was crowded with guests like Darius "Hootie" Rucker and Matthew Sweet along with Brian's own band, and the performance was neat but something got lost with that many cooks in the same kitchen.

Here's said performance:

Sounds like a cheap imitation of Alvin & the Chipmunks on steroids.

I hate that guy, I take 5 music lessons a week OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL (where I take them everyday)
and some non-instrumentalist/vocalist wants to come get fame?

FU*K YOU!

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

Say what you will about Katy Perry's music (and I'd be inclined to agree) but she DID name-check the Beach Boys (before The Beatles) as an example of her discovering what REALLY good music was on Letterman a while back!

OK, so if this is so, then why is her music such unrelenting sh*t ?

She was born in late '84, so her earliest audio memories may include Kokomo or Still Cruisin' 

Ahhhhhhhhh... gotcha.

I'll bet she could cover Summer Of Love and make it a smash hit

He did a song with Van Dyke I think

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

Katy wouldn't work with the group because her nice "upper torso" would make the group perform "rolling up to heaven"

I'd spend every last penny to see Mike and a butched-up Katy Perry duet on Hey Little Tomboy with Katy "turning into a girl" as the song progresses!

She's blessed, that's all I'll say

Seen it, many, many times 

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

and we wonder why Mike declined to sue

[Ron]

They will probably be joined on stage by younger, more commercially relevant acts- that is what the Grammys like to do. I just hope it's someone more respectable than a Katy Perry. Fleet Foxes would be good.

I hope it's Katy Perry.  She looks good, plus I've heard of her.  Also she smiles a lot.

It hasn't been released yet, but Van Dyke mentioned it in an interview.

Sounds better than medley of california girls/california gurls I could see the grammies doing if katy was involved.

[SMiLE]

Jardine said there will be some surprises to be had when the 70-year-old "Boys" take the stage at the GRAMMY reunion performance.  My guess will be a greatest hits medley (duh) featuring "Do It Again", "California Girls" (with Katy Perry somehow involved...*shudder*), "Good Vibrations" and "Kokomo".  Somehow I don't think the GRAMMYs would be the right venue for them to perform something with a little more depth like SMiLE.  My guess is that whatever they end up doing, the performance will go either really well or really awful.  Here's hoping the former.  

Say what you will about Katy Perry's music (and I'd be inclined to agree) but she DID name-check the Beach Boys (before The Beatles) as an example of her discovering what REALLY good music was on Letterman a while back!

I heard that Brother (and/or Mike) sued Katy Perry for copyright infringement over California Girls.

Irving doesn't own the catalog anymore?

Skrillex recently collaborated with remaining members of The Doors (Ray, Robbie and John) on the track "Breakin' A Sweat"

Would I lie to you? 


I'm really interested as how it would turn out. If it turns out, because we haven't heard anything since. But good on Van Dyke for chasing work with current artists, it's important.

[Zach95]

Oh you guys are sick...stop fantasizing a Beach Boys reunion featuring Katy Perry topless or any other fantasy concerning her for that matter.  This is sad indeed...that many of you would be willing to compromise the band's artistic integrity for a little excitement...tisk tisk... 

Here this is coming from a teenager in his prime...sheesh.

I of course mean this in jest by the way...but seriously.  Little bit much.
