New BW gig, 8/30/14

[jeffcdo]

It is so cool when folks apologize for not knowing something they didn't know. 

This really is becoming a page of bullies.

To anyone not happy with the inclusion of Chad: Who, in the absence of Matt, would have a been a better replacement?

Just try to imagine: WHAT IF Adrian Baker had gotten that phone call:

...Chad was a good choice

Bruce Johnston.

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Disagree about Bruce, in that it would require him to do more than he has in over a decade, aside from the C50 tour.

@Woodstock...yikes. I'd rather stab myself in the ear with a rusty screw driver than hear Baker's voice ever again.

One good turn deserves another. I'll see your 100 and raise 50...

Back on topic, I'd like to hear that Brian singing falsetto clip too, if it should become available. Wonder what happened to Matt Jardine? Kind of a neat R&R fantasy kind of story, though, to have a guy get a call on such short notice to play a Brian Wilson show who had been doing the tribute/nostalgia/cover gig.

sh*t, if BW needs a fill-in guitarist or bassist give me a call.

Oh god I abolutely hate this song SO MUCH that I love it. This one is fun to play really loudly with other people around - things get real uncomfortable real quick.

I didn't want to have to do this but...I'm going all in.

Shoot sorry I won't derail this thread with Mike Love any further...

I'd like to see more clips of last nights show to hear how Chad did - he's sounded superb in every Fendertones video I've watched.

Fold. I'm cashing out, I don't play cards with a guy who's keeping an ace tucked up his sleeve like that.  

[Niko]

SheeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeery Bay-yay-by.

Adrian Baker vs Mike Love - a battle of ear-bleeding proportions.

I'd actually really like to have been in the studio the day when they got the final mix of that tune locked in, just to see the reactions around the room. I'm thinking one of them may have been Baker and Mike high-fiving one another, saying the 80's equivalent of "BOO-YAH!".

[Niko]

After the playback of the final mix:

Mike: How did you like it Adrian?
*Adrian spreads his wings and flies 10 feet across to room to perch on Mike's shoulder*
Adrian: It was amazing. YOU are amazing.
Mike: Very nice. Thank you Adrian.
*Mike feeds Adrian a cracker, Adrian growls affectionately*

[Niko]

To anyone not happy with the inclusion of Chad: Who, in the absence of Matt, would have a been a better replacement?

Bruce Johnston.

I think Bruce can still do the wordless and single note falsetto's fine, but he couldn't fill that role...not by himself anyway. Maybe if there were TWO Bruce Johnstons, we'd be talkin'.

When was the last time we heard a live song featuring a lot of Bruce falsetto? Fun Fun Fun don't count...

...followed by the chaotic scene of a group of assistant engineers and studio interns desperately trying to restrain the lead engineer who suddenly lunged at the tape machine with a hammer in one hand and a razor blade in the other, yelling repeatedly "My ears! My ears!"

Al sang the hell out of that one. Very cool.

"Adrian, FLY!" Mike yelled.
Adrian knew the moment the engineer's eyes went blood red from the internal explosion of his eardrums that it was time to flee - this wasn't the first time this had happened.

Adrian kicked out one of the windows of the studio, and with one strong flap of his wings, he and the singer were brought to the safety Mike's motorcycle. Adrian got in the sidecar and they road away.
