MIKE MADE A MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE NEW DO IT AGAIN SINGLE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4inGP8qMnPE&feature=youtu.be

I was fine with the 4th of July performance, just because it was fun. Didn't destroy the legacy like some people feared.

BUT THIS?Huh? THIS IS SO CRINGEY WTFFFFF

Ok honestly, there is some charm to it. The Mcgrath guy looks his he's on cocaine, he's so energetic. I wish Bruce was in the video clapping.

a few notes:

a. "Comments are disabled for this video"

b.  Is it kosher for Mike to be using a bunch of Beach Boys footage live footage in his solo music video?

c. The only genuine thing about it is that Stamos and McGrath seem to be legitimately enjoying themselves.

d. Couldn't they find something more interesting than a white background?

I'm pretty sure comments are disabled for everything on Mike's channel. Probably a smart move.

I'd comment here too, but I have to run. I watched the video showing these three bros having so much man-fun, and now have the undeniable urge to go buy a pair of Dockers khakis and high-five the salesperson, saying "DO IT!" as they swipe my debit card.

The saving grace is there is not one mention of "The Beach Boys" anywhere. And Bruce must have been laying out his white shorts and white Keds sneakers for the show tonight.

Not sure if it counts as a "mention", but I caught a glimpse of Al Jardine in some of the vintage footage.

I watch this 2012 version, then realize that Mike would rather work with Stamos + McGrath, and it just makes me sad.

I have to agree... Seeing the band playing together again was so cool. This just seems wrong in comparison.

Honestly though, the video is fun. In a semi-ironic way. But the guys look like they're having so much fun, that I can't help but sing along. I HATE the synth sound riight before the last chorus though. Who produced this new single?

- this is the gift that keeps on giving.

- that they genuinely think this song is good enough to promote with a music video is alarming...especially if this is the first of many covers we can expect from Mike's Beach Boys covers album.

- that moment at 1:12 with roboMcGrawMcGrath vocals is the sonic highlight of this song...it's like they threw his lead vocal in a trash compactor and pieced it back together with elmers glue.

- to any Mike apologists here and abroad, Godspeed in your endeavors to downplay stuff like this in the coming years.

*McGrath is his name I guess? Mike, one of these days get a guest star who doesn't elicit the question "who?" when his name is mentioned.

Someone on the inside who would know dished the dirt on this video - There were scenes filmed of Bruce adjusting that microphone that ended up on the cutting room floor. That unused footage may be included when the "Still Tourin'" DVD/Blu-Ray deluxe edition is released.

It's refreshing to know that Mark McGrath is still an annoying as he was 20 years ago when his frosted tips first graced MTV with the song "Fly."

This. Although I must confess to having a little trouble with McGrath's face. But maybe he'd have trouble with mine.

Yeah his bizarre face is what made both the performance and promo video so incredibly awkward.  LOL

It's been mentioned on the other thread about old BB footage.

http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7872886/beach-boys-john-stamos-mark-mcgrath-do-it-again-video

Stamos, meanwhile, made sure that there was a tie to the song's past by including historical footage of Love performing it at various junctures in the Beach Boys' career.

"That was John's idea to intersperse some iconic footage of me doing the leads to 'Do It Again' and give some historical rock n' roll value to it, which gives it a total variety in breadth and span of years," Love notes. "Sometimes it's embarrassing to see myself with a beard as long as ZZ Top's or looking like Duck Dynasty or jumping around with my shirt off and rockin', but, hey, it was the '60s and the '70s and it was rock n' roll and there's a whole lot of history there."

Okay, I figured it out.  Mike finally found someone that is such an idiot that he makes Mike look cool in comparison.  There is no other explanation for making an official video with McGrath. 

Yes, whoever disabled comments for that video was a wise, wise person. 

Is it just me or does even Stamos seem totally sidelined by the heinous McGrath?  Watch at around 1:28 and you can almost see him thinking "Jesus, I'm not getting ANY screen time with this idiot jumping around". 

On a more serious note, I find it very upsetting that so much of the video is footage from Knebworth...a concert which produced such a kickass Do it Again that Mike should be sued for tarnishing the memory.

Pretty Funky, thanks for linking that article. It was a good interview, and I especially liked his part about not using The Beach Boys as a pulpit for politics.

I cringe to think that more songs like this will follow, I just hope he doesn't continue to use The Beach Boys touring band as a promotional tool for this new solo endeavor.

Quoting from the article:   "The whole song's about getting together with old friends and sharing good times and talking about the old times," says Love, who co-wrote "Do It Again" with Brian Wilson, his cousin. "That fact that here we are decades later, recreating it with old friends, having a great time -- it doesn't get much more organic and perfect and fantastic than that."

Except, you know, maybe PLAYING IT WITH YOUR ORIGINAL BANDMATES.  That just might be more "organic".
