They date from 1970-1974. The very first ones from the 38 second mark onwards are from 1973; bearded Brian with the Wolfman fingernails is from 1974. You can see in his face what coke was doing to him. I'll still never understood how a man who did as much coke as Brian still had an appetite to get as big as he did.

Aren't coke heads supposed to be skinny?!!

There's a lot of fat junkies around...coke, speed, heroin freaks out your metabolism, sends some people in the fat direction...Belushi, Chris Farley, David Crosby... addiction wasn't exactly slimming for them was it?

See, years ago I had my own bouts with coke (not proud of it), and I don't know how anyone can eat on it. Completely ruins the sense of taste and makes everything taste like ass. Eating would be the LAST thing one would want to do, I'd think.

Although it is OT, it is interesting for me. I never did coke, nor any other street drugs. But I do know that cocaine, sex, food, indeed many things that are pleasing have a strong impact in the same two brain areas, Nucleus accumbens and Ventral tegmental area. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that mediates the effects. So I'd guess that cocaine somehow numbs the taste buds and the olfactory senses.

OK, back to Brian's vocal chords then...

Hi everyone, it's my first time posting, chose this thread 'cause I was very impressed with some of the high parts in Brian's singing of Good Vibrations in th SNL episode (the one with the sandbox). Could that time apply as one of his last good live performances?

By the way, you guys have a really cool message board! Thanks for sharing all the cool info Smiley

Thanks, and welcome to the board!

Not really, because he has had some good performances since. Also, his voice had already changed by that point.

That said, I also quite like it, which puts us in a minority, but hey... LOL

Finally heard 'Boat to Sail' featuring BW on backing vocals...

Is it just me, or do Brian's backups sound like his 80s vocals?! (Check out the end for a good example).

I always thought coke heads, crack heads and the like were skinny not because the drug did it, but because they spend every penny they get on Coke even to the detriment of food.  Brian's fabulously wealthy so he never ran out of coke money, and therefore was still able to eat as much as he wanted.

That's a lot of it, but cocaine distorts the taste of food (and drink) to the point where I personally had NO desire to eat or drink anything back when I did it.  Worst thing ever...glass of orange juice after a bump.

You want to hear something weird, then? During the early 1980's, Alice Cooper was an extreme alcoholic. How bad, you ask? To the point where he claims to not remember the entire process of recording and releases three studio albums. The weird thing is that he reportedly started using cocaine around this period, to allow him to be able to drink more.  Huh

It sounds like he's being backed up by a female singer on those backing vox.

He sings a song at the end of this 1976 interview....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SPIG_ff6_U&feature=related

His voice his very husky, but you can still hear the "early" Brian underneath it all... trying to hit the falsetto but failing.

What a great singer though !!
