More About Brian/ Beck and New Album.

[KittyKat]

I'm guessing Shane is some kind of guest musician, judging by the photo of him being taken with Brian. Perhaps they think Shane is so famous he only needs his first name to be mentioned and people will know who he is.

[Shady]

You guys don't know Shane? Come on, it's SHANE!

[bgas]

Hey, is that Shane Tutmarc?

[Micha]

Bei mir bist du Shane.

I don't have a link so apologies as I was reading the paper at the pub, but there was an article about Jeff Beck and his upcoming Oz tour in Melbourne's Sunday Herald Sun. A few paragraphs were dedicated to last years tour and upcoming album with Brian. I may have misread but he seemed to say that the tour, although met with acclaim, wasn't a particularly enjoyable experience, due mainly to it being quickly organised  and that it felt like 2 separate shows within the concert. About the new album,and again I may be misquoting, but it read as the new BW album being a double album. The first one titled Brian Wilson, the 2nd titled Brian Wilson and Friends. Beck says he will be playing on 3 cuts but is yet to complete work on it. Hope someone can find a link because I've had no luck.

That was published 19th January, as far as I can make out.

They'd be wrong, then.

Well, it can't be Alan Ladd, as he's been dead for 50 years.

I know Brian's people read this board.  Hey.  I'm talking to you, Brian's person.  Put out the damn album.  I haven't had the opportunity to send Brian any of my money in a couple years.  Make it happen.

Really? No opportunities to send Brian your money? In the past three years we've had The SMiLE Sessions, the Disney album, That's Why God Made The Radio, the remasters, more greatest hits releases, and Made In California. Not to mention the tours he's done. I have to assume you've had a few pretty decent chances to send dude your money! 

[The Shift]

Send the dough to me… I'll pass it on, honest…!

The moment has passed for the Wilson/Beck album. Should've had it out when they toured together.

[The Shift]

Disagree.

[send me a picture and i'll tell you]

So who the fvck is Shane?

[The Shift]

Shane! Y'know, THE Shane!

[Lonely Summer]

Shane! Y'know, THE Shane!

Come back, Shane!

Well, maybe it's only been a year.  Still, I dream of sending him my money. 

YOU'RE LEAVING MONEY ON THE TABLE BRIAN'S PEOPLE.

Beck talks about his sessions with Brian. Not really good news.

Just as I expected, though. Agree with his comments there.

Thanks ORR.

Before hitting the road, the duo collaborated in the studio for an upcoming Wilson album. “Well, you better ask Brian,” Beck says when asked about the status of the project. “I’m not sure. As far as I know, they made a mistake by grabbing me for a tour and opening up the floodgates for a tour prematurely instead of finishing the tracks. And so we left the studio with half-finished tracks – three, four tracks I was supposed to be on and they’re still unfinished. And to me it was a bit stupid because they should have done the album, had a killer album, and then gone out on the road. But I think they wanted to grab me while I was still available. That’s about it.”

Wasn't there a recent interview/revelation that stated there will be two BW albums? A Brian and Friends album, and another purely solo album? Perhaps some Jeff Beck cuts will end up on the Brian and Friends album.

I'm going to say it as bluntly as possible and I don't care if I offend...
 Brian's career is managed by fools and a half dead iguana could do a better job most of the time.

It often seems that way..

Thanks for the link, though Beck's statement is not terribly encouraging.
