I've been listening to some of their late 80's, early 90's stuff, and I've realized that I was wrong about Stamos. The guy is absolutely brilliant on the electronic bongos. No way that Dennis Wilson and Ricky Fataar could ever have touched that stuff. Also, his version of Forever rocks way harder than that wimpy version on Sunflower.
Is there any evidence that Stamos actually played on any BB sessions? I thought he simply toured with them and "air jammed" in a couple of music videos (much like Mike Love's sax solo in "Kokomo").
He
must have played on their albums--after all, you can see him playing on videos like Kokomo or Summer of Love. And I'm sure that Love played the solo in Kokomo, too--the video shows him actually playing it.
