I never repeat myself," Wilson said of the hundreds of songs he's written and co-written over a career that's still going after more than a half century. "You just always have to come up with new melodies, new lyrics, new chord changes, new arrangements." I love the sh*t out of Brian, but I had to do a doubletake, because I was listening to a mashup of all the times Brian's used the Shortenin' Bread riff (posted on YouTube) at the exact moment I saw this thread and started reading the article.  Of all the times! |

Then again he can repeat himself all he wants because generally each time he does it goes to another level.

Speaking of repeating himself... He's also already starting to think about another album to follow "No Pier Pressure," even though that one isn't being released until April 7. "It's going to be more rock 'n' roll," he said. "We're going to record 'Johnny B. Goode.'" |

Why hasn't he done his "rock n' roll" album? For the last 10? years whenever he does press for an album he always says his next will be it. Is it just talk, is someone "stopping" him doing it? He seems really enthused to do one but it never materialises. It's got weird to me.

I'm gonna get punnished but I have to say it. I love Brian as much as anyone, and his music is the reason I'm here. But I can't fail to notice that if this thread was about a Mike Love interview with the statement "I never repeat myself", we'd have a 10-page collection of rants.

Probably because Brian doesn't take himself as seriously as Mike does. Look at your signature for example - Brian says his favorite movie is Norbit. Brian says he's going to make a rock n roll album next (has been saying this for years and years). Brian says he never repeats himself. Brian says a lot of things (whether it be because of his sense of humor and/or his nervousness when talking to a reporter). It's who Brian is and we all accept it. Whereas Mike is more of a straightforward guy. So you're right, we probably would have a 10 page discussion about it had Mike said it. But these are two very different people with two very different interview styles. |

As for the article itself - I really hope this rock n roll album is the real deal this time. Pleasure Island needs to happen  |

At this point, I think it has to be a running joke. As you say, when he promotes a new album and someone asks him "What's next," he says, "I'm gonna do a rock and roll album!" Maybe it's just his standard answer. |

Brian could have said that he was now ready to retire. Maybe the rock and roll album will happen, maybe it won't. We don't know why it didn't happen before - Brian just using the words as a stock answer? Brian wanting to do it but perhaps it not going down well with the record company?
The article just gives us something for which to be hopeful. Meanwhile there is NPP.

Brian doing a whole album of Chuck Berry songs? Could you imagine that? What would the tracklist be like? Interesting....

I dunno, I think this whole "Shortnin' Bread" thing is kind of a non-issue. To me, it just sounds like a generic blues riff, or Brian's particular arrangement of it. You could apply it to anything, much like you could a shuffle riff, or a Chuck Berry bass line, or a Dizzy Miss Lizzy lick.
I just listened to that Youtube medley, and yes, the groove is pretty much the same, but the songs are different.
Not that that would work in copyright law these days, of course.

I think the record he's referring to already exists and it's called 15 Big Ones.

I wouldn't mind a whole Brian tribute album to doo-wop classics, such as a song I mentioned in another thread, The Chimes' version of the standard Once In A While. A Brian version of the Flamingoes' take of I Only Have Eyes For You could be nice as well, with a mass of harmony vocals.

I wonder if something like this is what Brian pitched to Mike as the next album before it became TWGMTR? |

Brian uses that "gonna do a rock and roll album next time" as often as Micky Dolenz compares the Monkees to Vulcans.
