Where are you from ? I purchased mine from amazon.de and will order the CD single on amazon.com

Down under!
BTW, my 9 month old son shares his first name with you (just in case that gives you a warm fuzzy feeling!)

[seltaeb1012002]

wow! thanks for that. he sounds a million miles away.

Yup, no prob.

Yeah, he's buried there. Really nice vocal. Reminds me of his voice on Kiss Me Baby. Can't wait to hear his vocals on the new album.

Isn't it Mike singing the repeating That's Why God Made in the chorus? He may be processed because he doesn't sound nasal, but it sounds like him otherwise.

Yeah, on the tag definitely. I don't hear him audibly before that break after the bridge, but I'm sure he's buried in there somewhere.


Can anyone confirm who sings "God, radiooooo" at 3:03? I'm wondering if it's David Marks. But it sounds like it could be Al.

I still cannot really hear Mike in here after repeated listens.

He pops out on the right channel on "God Made".

This is OOPS'd so you can hear him better

He is being isolated here. Now, go buy the song and listen to it. You will hear this same part after the bridge and drum beat.

ahh, yes. already been bought. just surprised at how much pitch correction, reverb and echo they put on him! Still like the track though.

I haven't gone through this entire thread, so I hope this hasn't been answered several times already. Does anybody know if the single of TWGMTR  will be issued as a physical cd? I've read a lot about it being released as an mp3, but what about an actual physical disc?

Overseas, yes. In the U.S., seems like no.

[Jay]

Well, that sucks. 

[Alan Smith]

I'm sure if you asked an overseas comrade to sort you out, said overseas comrade would do so, dependent on said overseas comrade's region attaining said physical release

[The Shift]

Small consolation Jay - the US gets the Beach Boys, playing in your town soon!

While I'm not a big fan of the sound of Foskett's falsetto, it is done here in an absolutely not-annoying way. The result sounds very good.

I think I will try and start "Jeffrey-Foskett-Jeffrey-Foskett" chants during the Berlin concert just to annoy Foskett haters.

That's how we'll do it. I appoint you musical director of the operation. We should rendezvous before the show, in some pub, and rehearse.

Gotta show the guy some support, even if it's as late as the Berlin gig... 

[rab2591]

This song is incredible.

Such a great and unexpected hook in the chorus ("so tune right in everywhere you go,"). And that outro is classic.

It is such an awesome wall of sound. If the rest of the album sounds like this I think it will be a fantastic treat to us fans. We're lucky this is all happening right now!

Whoops, got confused with all the different quotes... I must redirect that remark to Mr Eric Aniversario. Rocker would be a brave first name. Better then "rapper", anyway!

Incidentally, I have a friend who had (one is still alive) two cats named Bri (Brian) and Vandy (Van Dykes). He thought it was very clever, and why not?

Any updates on the Billboard status? I simply don't see it there.  I remain confused about how this song is "doing." My impression is that the concerts and the song and the viewings on youtube and, in short, the entire experience of the BB music and reunion is exceeding all hopes and expectations.  I have been posting on radio stations and amazon and other places, as many of you have, as well, no doubt, to try to drum up support. Will there be some formal announcement that the song is a hit?  Will the album and the Leno/Fallon appearances dramatically popularize the song?

Too many questions. Is someone else trying to do a forensic accounting of the song's status?

Finally, have we determined if any BB, likely Dave, is playing music of TWGMTR? Do you hear the solos he is ripping in concert? He waited 49 years to do that--that's the crowning piece in all this.

Best to all. I feel that we are riding an ever-waxing wave--that something magical is happening with this music returning to consciousness in 2012 culture. Hopeful, yes, deluded, I hope not.

I was really wondering as well, though I'm as clueless as you are as to how the song is doing.

Anyone here who could recommend a pub?

It will be a tough thing to do, though, as we're probably not sitting together and have lots of general audience between us, but worth a try.

Count me in.

I would love to know what is on Brian's auto-cue at this point!

[STE]

I think it says "Just ignore him"

[bossaroo]

this song really is fabulous. figuring out the chord progression has put me even more in awe of its greatness. it's all over the place key-wise... similar to "This Whole World".

damn. just... DAMN.

I thought it said "and for Jeff's next trick he's gonna eat the guitar…"
