SMiLE is America: Infinite Potential Never Reached

« Reply #925 on: May 26, 2015, 03:51:31 AM »

I can see why the band insisted that  he choose between his solo career and The Beach Boys. I mean, he was barely functioning in the band as it was. How much more erratic would his participation have become if he had the conflicting interest of a solo career?

Yeah, but they forced him into that choice, I'd say, when they didnt put very many of his songs on their albums. Instead of pushing Brian into the studio when he obviously wasnt ready, they should have supported Dennis. We might have gotten some really great albums out of it, instead of the schlock that is 15 and the polarizing Love You (which would have worked better as a solo album anyway, I think). Dennis might have even straightened out a bit, if he felt like the band needed and believed in him. As it happens, I can understand his getting frustrated and disillusioned by them and the situation.

And here's another unpopular opinion of mine: the Manson songs should be released. Maybe not officially, but leaked online? I know it will never happen though. Still, just because the man was despicable thats no reason his music shouldnt be heard as a curiosity if nothing else. I totally understand how terrible it would look for the band to actually profit from them though.

EDIT: I dont think VDP would deserve the title either. Even he would probably agree with me on that.

You don't live up to it. And since Mikie is banned and therefor no longer a "polite" and "honored" SS member you might wanna change that signature of yours.

#2   Except nobody at Capitol remembered which versions of "Be True to Your School" and "Help Me Rhonda" had been hit singles.
 
In the case of the former, I think it's more Capitol having a bias towards stereo for Endless Summer. A perfect Endless Summer would have been all-mono, IMO.

I've only been able to listen to NPP twice. I'm a die-hard fan, but the MOR aspect embarrasses me.

I have, however, taken a few choice tracks from that and TWGMTR and made a faux-suite that elevates some of the NPP stuff to tolerability.

Wow, someone knocking Brian off of his high horse. Well, I'll be God-damned!, as Brian himself would say. Wink Overall, NPP has some of catchiest music that Brian has made in quite some time. Some of the tracks I just can't get out of my head. It would have made a lovely Beach Boys album.

You're acting like he died. What e-mails are for? Besides, you can hit up on FB. I mean, we're friends too, I've learned a lot about California from Mikie. But we all know that when you were a mod, you would not give 2nd chance to banned people, f.ex. OSD. So now you're being subjective & show your empathy, that is, think with your heart rather than brains? A bit hypocritical, dontcha find?

Edit: Next time, try not to pretend like being "objective", after that laughable "Bring Back" type of thread. It comes off fanboyish, ha.

Yes, it was all totally the Wilson brothers who put a stop to Mike Love's pretentious, avant garde posturing and experimentation. Once he got Bruce to help him do twelve-tone music, the Wilsons had to step in.

You told me on message sth. like that it's silly to create Bring/Welcome Back type of threads & now you've done it yourself. I think it's unfair & doesn't fit your former sig "Nope, just objective". You're like all of us, what you say isn't objective.

What's done is done. If the mods said he won't return, then won't. Let's quit complaining & grieving over. The board is still the same. Nothing changed.

Time to move on.
