The Beach Boys - Charlie Rose 5-18-12

[@ronfowlermusic]

I notice Brian suddenly looked very sad after talking about his brothers. The pain of that loss never goes away. RIP Carl and Dennis.

[@tommyriam8320]

Brian Wilson has a very direct and unfiltered manner in speaking/articulating his thoughts or feelings on a particular subject or matter.

[@mrsmacca126]

However, his beliefs and realities change from one day to the next.

@@mrsmacca126 _Well_ , I didn't say that he wasn't a bit of a kook. That much has been clear for ages.

[@robbyblack2699]

Right.

[@chrisrothenfluh8967]

Brian is a music god

[@MrTonysharpe121]

It's really sad that The Beach Boys didn't carry on making more albums after this point.

[@lucaspadilla4815]

Tho I agree, “That’s Why God Made the Radio” ultimately feels like the coda for The Beach Boys, even tho there is still chance for one more

[@SoundofFree]

Thank Mike Love for that, as he refused to continue. Brian, Al and David wanted to do more touring and a new album.

[@MrTonysharpe121]

@@lucaspadilla4815 Yes, Summer's Gone is really a perfect way to say goodbye I suppose, it's just sad that it has to come to an end but what a back catalogue they have for us to enjoy over and over again.

[@Logan912]

@@lucaspadilla4815”Summer’s Gone” is also a great swan song for the band itself. It’s the same with “The Garden” on Rush’s Clockwork Angels album.

[@darrelltiencken9421]

This is one of the best interviews of BB I have seen.

[@merseybeat1963]

Im so glad they pulled it back together well..one last time.

[@robbyblack2699]

It’s nice to actually watch an interview where the interviewer is super nice, knowledgeable and asks the right questions. I enjoyed this.

[@melanieknight6352]

Agree!

[@mikebradshaw6484]

He didn't even know that Brian and Mike were cousins. Everyone knows that. It must be nice to have dated the bosses daughter like Charlie did. He proved it's not WHAT you know but WHO you know.

[@josephharnett5075]

The Album they put out that year was one of the best they've done in years I was really impressed with the results it reminded me of some of the previous effects there albums had as too repeatedly listening to it over and over again it had that quality to it 👌

[@jerrileegeorge7385]

This is the finest example of the talent and energy these guys had and still have!! Can't we get them thinking about a round table discussion like this and add in a dozen songs. I don't think we've ever heard them like this - sitting back, discussing ups and downs, favorite songs, feeling about their work like this. Gotta love all of them for how important they are to our consciousness! Do this again guys!!!!

[@steveconn]

Cancelling Charlie Rose and Tavis eliminated many good interviewing opportunities.

[@NOWtheband]

That was a very good interview. Maybe the best I've seen from the 2012 era. At the start I thought they might be acting on their best behaviour but I think they loosened up as it went along. They all seemed honest, heartfelt and fairly at ease in each other's company. 🙂 All heroes, no villains!

best beach boy interview I ever heard-saw

Could not have been said better!!!

This is very illuminating. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this. I somehow never saw this back when it came out. I wish they'd do something like this one more time.

[@ShelleeGraham]

Wonderful interview with The Beach 🏖 Boys. Thank you LUNAR for posting this to KZbin 👍.

[@devilsdestiny2813]

Al Jardine was /is the best singer in the band by far and a perfect example of how good you can look at 80 if you don't (have never) smoke, don't drink, don't do drugs etc

[@darthjesus420]

lol. He’s a good singer. certainly not the best

[@subg8858]

He’s the best singer in the group today

[@samwoodson9603]

Carl Wilson was the best singer.

[@pedropaulovidal5994]

Best Band EVER...

[@c.a.t.732]

All their early hit recordings were made using studio musicians.

[@tonyellis-zx3vq]

Awesome!

[@lastrada52]

Good interview Charlie Rose. You should have focused more on these types of well-planned interviews with artists, writers & bands like this rather than politics and BS. At a concert for Brian Wilson they asked Vince Gill to sing "Surf's Up," and he said sure. He had assumed -- how difficult could it be? The Beach Boys sing surf & car songs. But when he was given the song he said he couldn't do it...too difficult. He was concerned with the range the song required. They convinced him he could pull it off. And it turned out to be one of the most intense covers of a Beach Boys song, sung live ever. A great interview would be with Brian Wilson & Paul McCartney or George Martin (at that time 2012) on the same set at the same time. We're losing the legends...start talking to them before it's too late & don't ask stupid questions.

[@davidrobinson5180]

Anyone who wonders can see here the definitive proof that Brian loved being part of The Beach Boys and that it was a huge mistake for Mike Love to not create a new contract with all of them after "That's Why God Made the Radio" and the tour finished. This album and tour reinvigorated them as people and musicians, albeit briefly.

[@steveconn]

Saw this 50th anniversary tour, honor considering Brian's mental shape now.

I was at that beacon show Mike mentioned 🎉

[@AprilShowers1955]

Would love a get together to just hear updated chat! 😊❤

[@tommyriam8320]

12:42 I can imagine that Johnston was _not_ exactly thrilled with the director calling for this shot/camera angle so often throughout the roundtable discussion; not the most flattering or forgiving in terms of exposing his balding pate and oddly shaped skull.

[@MrTonysharpe121]

@@billviola7884 I thought Mike sounded very level headed here. He deserves some credit. Him and Brian wrote and produced some beautiful songs together.

[@marilynskrepich3238]

He always had a big ego

[@MrTonysharpe121]

@@marilynskrepich3238 When he was younger. For the past few years, he seems to have mellowed. He must realise that his life is coming to an end now. I love some of the music and vocals that he has contributed to The Beach Boys and he definitely deserves credit.

There’s not one beach boys video without a disparaging comment about Mike. Stop it. Get some help. 😊

[@lennon1252]

This 'harmony' between them didn't last too long😢

[@LarryJung-ng5yj]

That's Why God Made The Radio is a fine Beach Boys cd. I like Brian Wilson alot and Mike Love too. Brain was a fine music composer and record producer also singer and Mike Love wrote many of The Beach Boys songs lyrics and he is their lead singer and the most consistent Beach Boy their's never been a Beach Boys concert thus far without Mike Love performing in it Mike also is probably the best Beach Boy at the business side of that group too. Mike Love and Brian Wilson are cousins and long time band mates Mike loves Brian and often gives him credit but Mike knows at times Brian is off mentally people should stop trying to get Brian to hate Mike their elderly men now let them regain their friendship.
