place for compiling any new information on a next BB album

[18thofMay]

This place without AGD is a fucking JOKE!! How long is he banned for? Of all the sh*t he has had to put up with over the years.. Shame Billy Shame. How many of you fucking MUPPETS have done what he has for The Beach Boys?? (except those that have!!)

For starters how about showing some respect for Andrew, Jon and others that have done many more Decades, Years and hours worth of research! They have given up vast chunks of their lives to then be critisized for defending their stance on many issues.
a)THEY KNOW MORE THAN YOU
b)THEY HAVE EARNT OUR RESPECT
c)THEY DESERVE OUR RESPECT

PISSED OFF DELUX FFS Pull your heads in.. You don't know what you got till it's gone!!

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Seriously? It's for a week. And I of all people am the last person  herewho should not be accused of showing him or anybody respect.

[SMiLE Brian]

Andrew knows a lot about the band and does good research, doesn't mean members have to kiss his ass and ego here.

To the tune of Tom Dooley:

Hang down your head now Billy
Hang down your head and die
Hang down your head Billy
This dude ain't gonna cry.

I could care less about some obtuse Beach Boy expert-the bottom line is how he shares that info with others. If he's a moronic head case that uses that knowledge for power and swagger, then who really needs him? Let him come back after he completes and passes Growing Up 101. In the meantime, there's no EARNT respect for the agdster.

Billy I am dissapointed that you have banned him, but thats it mate! Your a great guy and do an awesome job here.

But the lack of respect from members lately towards Jon and over the years Andrew has got to stop, these guys have put decades into what they have done! We want them to keep coming and giving their opinions, their stories and first hand experiences are priceless!

Rules are rules and I'm sure AGD understood why the action was taken. Don't blame Billy, he's just enforcing the rules. But I agree that I would rather have Andrew here, than not. I prefer truth, facts & clarification than opinion, conjecture and fantasy land daydreaming, but that's just me.

[TimmyC]

I really hope he comes back. he does seem a bit defensive at times, but it's really cool to have someone who certainly seems to have some degree of insider knowledge... I really hope he comes back. It will be a huge loss to the board if he does not.

[Iron Horse-Apples]

This place without AGD is a fucking JOKE!!

you fucking MUPPETS

I don't know, you seem to be filling in for him quite nicely

[SMiLE Brian]

Agreed, AGD reaped what he sowed in the respect department.

[Iron Horse-Apples]

Seeing as I'm often browsing this site with my seven year old hanging around, the swearing's not on really.

[BB Universe]

 - This Board is the better when knowledgeable and informed people post and that includes AGD.
 - Perhaps the tone of his posts sometimes rubs some people the wrong way (I for one don't have a problem with his posts) but they are much, much preferable to those who post messages insulting certain members of the Beach Boys by constantly and purposefully incorrectly spelling their names.
 - If AGD violated a Board policy then the temporary ban is likely warranted and we should all take a lesson from that - no one is above reproach.
 - A bit more civility towards each other would be a good thing and help make the Moderators' lives and duties somewhat more easier and enjoyable.

[Iron Horse-Apples]

I couldn't agree more.

Couldn't agree more with this.

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Thank you Mr Universe!

Seriously though...excellent points. I agree with each one.

[Pretty Funky]

Lately almost every thread he touched turned into some kind of anger filled opportunity to correct, belittle which then became a 'he said-I said' rant. It is a very sad way for anyone to act on a message board and I hope for him it is not like that in his real life.

I'm sure he will be back. As he often says...."It's What He Does". He has hinted about some sh!t in his life last year. Don't know what it is, but don't we all!

If you are still are still reading the thread AGD, I for one know about 5% of what you do despite being a fan for 35 years. Its just a hobby and interest, and the chance to escape our crazy lives for awhile, for me and most of us here. Try to remember that when you choose to fill in for us,  our large Beach Boys related gaps with your wealth of knowledge.

Andrew knows a lot about the band and does good research, doesn't mean members have to kiss his ass and ego here.

Usually, if you act like you have a half a brain, he doesn't act that way with people. Just an observation of mine over past couple of years.

[halblaineisgood]

yeah, BBuniverse made some good points.

People who complain about AGD seem the most pathetic to me. AGD isn't their friend, but he isn't my friend either. However, as I give people who know more than me permission to exist, I don't lose any sleep over it. I might even learn something. Haters expose more of their own flawed thinking than any of his. Why would anyone derive their 'status' in life from a message board? He's king of the message board? Is he a child? WTF! The only ones making him seem like some kind of king are the people complaining about how he thinks he's some kind of king.

Oh Wait! I forgot...all opinions are equal. I'm getting to hate that word. Opinion word filter anyone? Bring back merda, for opinion. We can eliminate that blue balls inducing safety word ., "opinion".  like stuff just starts getting nice and rough and interesting, then some wimp yells "opinion" and everything stops. Merda would strip the word of its false profundity. It's a redundant word, too. Obviously these are opinions.

Amen.

[Mike's Beard]

Picture the scene.

A rundown casino, located off the murky backroads. Inside it's dark, save for the neon glow reflecting from the buzzing lights. The air is stale with cheap cigar smoke and stale perfume. An ugly waitress walks over to you with a drink on a tray.

"Here's your drink Mr. OSD" , she says bending down to place the glass on the table.You take a sip and recoil.Your whiskey has obviously been watered down. You down it anyway, you need the dutch courage. You walk over to the roulette table and plunk yourself down in a chair. The goon behind the wheel looks up at you with a mixture of boredom and contempt.

"All of it on black" you say, pushing a pile of chips over the board. You had to pawn your mint 1970 vinyl copy of Sunflower with all six band members signatures on it to pay for those chips.

"$750 on black." calls the dealer. He spins the wheel in motion. The ball spins round, fast at first but then gradually slowing down. Your heart beats. Double time. You cannot bear to watch but find yourself powerless to look away. You clench your eyes shut and wait for it to be over. Finally you hear the ball come to a stop. You open your eyes, it is on green 00.

"House wins" says the dealer with a smirk on his face.

This is it. You have reached rock bottom. You take cold confort in the fact that at least things can't get any worse. Screeching feedback from a mike being turned on startles you. The MC taps the mike and then starts to speak.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Tonight do we have a treat for you! All the way from sunny California. It's the legendary Beach Boys featuring Mike Love and Bruce Johnston!!!"

"WHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!........"

Then what if the Casino turned into SeaWorld and OSD got splashed by water.  Brian showed up and got splashed by water too.Then he found cold confort in the fact that at least John Stamos wasn't there. Then the cast of full house showed up to have a read through of their latest episode , and Bob Sagat broke character and started doing his stand-up act and it was really blue and profane, and everyone was like "Hey THATS NOT DANNY TANNER!!"
And then they all got forced by the casino indians to go on a death march to kokomo.

[Cam Mott]

In a new interview Mike says he likes to play them all from a "club to a stadium". Case closed.

[JohnMill]

Agreed, AGD reaped what he sowed in the respect department.

This following is really all that needs to be said on this subject:

Sexy Sadie, you broke the rules
You laid it down for all to see 
Sexy Sadie, oh, you broke the rules
One sunny day the world was waiting for the lover
She came along to turn on everyone
Sexy Sadie, the greatest of them all


We gave her everything we owned just to sit at her table
Just a smile would lighten everything
Sexy Sadie, she's the latest and the greatest of them all

[Cabinessenceking]

Huehue...

A bunch of adult people bickering like children over insignificant triffles.
GUYS in case you didnt notice: this is the internet where people troll the sh*t out of each other and anything can be interpreted or misinterpreted multiple ways.
'Mom some guy on the internet might've insulted me!'



Good comedy, keep supplying!

ahuehuehue....
