I am ridiculously tempted to start a joke thread entitled 'The Fictional Crimes of Jeff Foskett' but it would probably turn into this again.
I tried that several years ago when the Melinda-bashing got out of control. The thread was a beaut, but its title (which I shan't repeat here) was perhaps a bit much. Do a bit of Googling and you'll run across it.
Interestingly, it ended up purging a lot of the poison about her. Funny -- I've heard much less about Melinda's evils since the board started ragging on Jeff. At least it's less sexist!
Stage 1. Bashing Mike Love (lasted about 35 years)
Stage 2. Bashing Melinda (lasted 10 years)
Stage 3. Bashing Jeff (ongoing)
I wonder who'll be the next recipient of the fans' rage.

We have a serious, widespread problem: one man, whatever his motivation and whatever his moral character ( I would never comment on someone I do not know) is hijacking the reunion. All you have to do is read the spiritually deflated posts, in the 100s, about the Grammy show and the Dodger Stadium disgrace. We must use whatever contacts and resources we have to contact the band members and family member and beseech them to end this coup in which Jeff is playing the imaginary and deluded role of BB savior.
Maybe the mafia connections could help out.
Was that too soon?

Okay its official, Jeff is the anti-christ.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Doesn't he still get a lot of flack from Brian fans? I have to admit I didn't like Mike at first because the first impression you get from many fans is that he is everything wrong about the Beach Boys and Brian is the only good one in the group.
I'm glad this perception has changed for most in the last 15 years particularly for Carl and Dennis, even David Marks has risen a lot in stature to BB fans! Mike still seems to be the guy who many people seem to bash though.

This happened in 2005.
I got backstage several hours before a show in Liverpool. I met a lot of the band members who were very kind and gracious to me, as they had enjoyed one of my albums. I met Brian, who was in great spirits, clapped me on the back and had a bit of banter about the weather with me. When I was introduced to Jeff however, he looked at me dismissively, turned away, and announced it was time for the sound check.
A band member had previously been saying to me there were a lot of politics going on at the moment, and there were two very different sides in the BW camp, and there was a difference in the way Brian was treated. I'll be honest here and not embellish this, as I do not remember great details on this conversation. I do remember it was very much a "them and us" type of dialogue. Jeff was not specifically mentioned, but I must have had some reason to think he was speaking negatively of Jeff.
I asked the band member to whom I was speaking if I could attend the soundcheck, and he said yes. Wow, what an honour, my own private BW concert! They rehearsed some instrumental tracks, then Brian wandered on and sat down at his keyboard. Jeff said "Right, lets rehearse so and so". Brian said, "no, I want to rehearse blah blah" Jeff, trying to be patient, but as if speaking to a child, "No Brian, we need to rehearse this, we only have x amount of time, we're doing this, OK"
Then they rehearse "Tell Me Why", (it's Liverpool). Jeff says "Brian, you need to learn your harmony, listen, I'll sing it to you"
Brian says "I know it already"
Jeff - (becoming more irritated,) "Brian, let me just sing it to you, we don't have a lot of time".
Brian - " I know it". He sings the lower harmony perfectly.
Then comes the vocal level tests. Brian, staring into space, doesn't hear the sound guy call "Brian". He calls again. Jeff shouts, with an angry, irritated look on his face "Brian, please pay attention, we need to get the levels" Brian barks his note.
Now, in fairness to Jeff, they obviously were up against it time-wise, and I was also rather put out by him snubbing me. And also, seeing it written down here, it may not seem he was being that rude to Brian. But honestly, if you'd heard it you would have been shocked at the withering "look what I have tio put up with" way that he spoke to Brian. I honestly felt like jumping on the stage, shaking him and saying "Who pays your bloody wages?"
Now it may well be that in order to get Brian to do something, you need to be hard with him. I'm sure Dr Landy would agree with this. But to witness it first hand was horrible.
It may also be true that Jeff was having a bad day or something, as I know some of you have met him and he was lovely. Bear in mind though, Jeff did not know there was an audience.
There, and I've tried to be as unbiased and fair to Jeff as possible, but ever since then I've had no time for the guy. So for me personally, the Grammys and the Dodgers have been spoilt by having this guy hogging the sound.
That was a very insightful and interesting read. Thank you for posting that story! But that's such a shame the way he talked down to the genius like that. I can picture it happening.

Come onnnnnn. Mr. Positivity? He deserves

There is much more on-record to smh at for Mike than for Foskett and Melinda. Everything on them is just he said/she said.

Well, I said I'd be honest about it, but also that you had to be there. Some vibes cannot be conveyed.
Sorry if folk were expecting to hear about Jeff beating Brian with a big, black dildo
Thanks for the story...I can appreciate what you wrote because I totally got the "cold" Jeff once too. I was at a meet and greet and while I was meeting with Brian, having him sign my Surf's Up album, Jeff looked at me and said "What's your favorite Beach Boy song??" His tone was demeaning and untrusting--he made it seem like I didn't belong there and that I wasn't a real fan. My first response was "Vegatables." He asked "Why?" What the hell was this...an interrogation? Was there a questionairre I was supposed to fill out before this? No answer I gave him pleased him and I could tell that in his head he had written me off. We left and went back to our seats. I was so disturbed by this that I went back to the backstage area, asked the security guard to ask if Jeff to come out and speak with me. The security guard didn't know any better so he did. I wanted to apologize and ask if there was anything I did. Jeff comes out and says "I'm way too busy right now. I can't talk. You did nothing wrong...I gotta go!" I was completley bothered by this and the whole show was practically ruined for me because I couldn't understand what I could have done to offend Jeff. It soured my meeting with Brian and I couldn't focus on the show at all. I've "gotten over" it since then but it's still a memory I don't like to revisit....
He's the
effing band leader
for Chrissakes. I'm surprised he didn't have security run you off as a potential stalker. That's what I would have done.
Back around 1990 or so I DID get run off by the manager at the time. Chaz somedody. Kicked me right out of the dressing room. I had been standing in line for a chair massage and he said OUT. Since I was fully credentialed, you should have seen the look on his face as I was chatting with Carl after the show as the band was loading in the limos. Worked everytime, but he started recognizing me at so many concerts in the Midwest.

Chaz Yost, Road Manager. Matt Sheppard (who passed away from cancer like so many in the Beach Boys' camp) was the Tour Manager at the time and, in my experience, a much more accommodating guy. Joel Gast, Assistant Tour Manager, was also a very accomodating guy. What is a chair massage? Why were you waiting for one backstage?

You sit in a special chair and a massage therapist works you over. No laying down. And it's because Al said it was OK. I did Alan a huge favor back in the mid-80's here in KC.
