if their older selves went back to 1964, what would they say

[bluesno1fann]

Bring Dave back. Stay true to your wives (don't just write songs about it). stay away from smoking, drugs, and alcohol.  when you start to change your style (in two years), change your name too. Release the album Smile in three years (and become even bigger than the Beatles  (particularly in America)) and Mike, calm your ego 

For the most part I agree, but the one problem with the drugs and alcohol part is that without them, a LOT of their songs wouldn't exist.
Take California Girls for example. Brian wrote that after his first LSD experience. So we would be missing a lot of their classics.
Instead I'd say try not to take too much or only have it in moderation or horrible things would happen to you

[Disney Boy (1985)]

They'd warn everyone about 9/11

And thus saving the lives of 3,000. Wouldn't it be better to warn everyone about the Iraq war instead and thus save the lives of 1,000,000?

Sorry, politics, let's not go there.

Ok, well firstly I'd tell Mike to start using some Regaine Plus immediately, and lots of it.

[The Shift]

Mike: you're flatting dear…

Al: syncopate, syncopate

Carl: your mother could use some help…

Brian: so you're a genius, huh?

David: did you just cuss?

Dennis: where is Dennis?

[Peadar 'Big Dinner' O'Driscoll]

Many people given the possibility would go back in time and prevent Hitler from seizing power. I would go back and bum Bruce

Each to their own but I could think of much better uses for a time machine 

[Phoenix]

Switch labels now!  The British are coming and you're about to be treated like the ugly stepchild!!!

We'll never know how many classics we never even got because Brian took those drugs! I'll take a world with a healthy Brian any day over a world with "California Girls". I'd even trade "Good Vibrations" for Brian's health.

They wouldn't need to travel back in time. Murray already told them these things.

True!

If they told Dennis how old he lived to be he would probably just party even more knowing he didn't have much time left!
