I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone else be so disrespectful to someone who is struggling with a mental illness, than this channel. Describing what Brian Wilson eats was rude enough. But you then made sure to include details on how much sugar he uses in his coffee. But the worst thing I heard that made me stop watching at that very moment was you describing him as “waddling” because of his weight. Shame on you!!! Just because he is a public figure DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CAN MAKE FUN OF HIM!!! You are disgusting🖕🖕🖕🖕

[@michaelbarnhart2593]

Murry Wilson was a cruel and sadistic father who beat and tormented the brothers regularly as children. How Carl stayed sane (albeit a cruel end by cancer) I'll never know.

[@briansam2524]

I'm one of three brothers myself, my dad was just about the same way with us, he made us do things we didn't want to do but he forced it on us, my dad had a gardening route and every weekend we had to help him as well as every school break, it was work, work and work, and once I got my own job, he resented it and tried every means to get me fired but luckily my supervisors told him off. And then once I got a better stable job, he pretty much left me alone but still harbored a lot of resentment.

[@kdm71291]

Imagine what the brothers might have been like, the life they may have lived, had it not been for the cruelty of Murray!

[@Blinki18284]

I believe he fought his demons. He too had his battles with alcohol in the 1970s, but he got rid of them by himself.

Landy may have started out trying to help Brian but in a short time he was more like a dictator involved in every personal detail of Brian's life including finances, investments--he was a master manipulator. I am convinced he was totally negative, a corrupt bad man. Brian was lucky to survive him.

[@sebastientardivel8179]

​@@patgalvez4563 but Keith Moon was a incredible inventive gifted drummer. Dennis never was 😅

[@perryneum]

One big similarity is they both lived with unrelenting guilt - Dennis over his relationship with Manson and his decision not to alert the police about his criminal activities; Moon and his guilt over having killed his driver/bodyguard Neil Boland by running him over trying to escape an angry mob leaving a bar in 1970.

[@michaelharrington75]

Keith never lost his wealth after becoming successful. Dennis had close to nothing when he died. Keith is a legendary drummer that many consider one of the top 2. Dennis isn't even mentioned in best drummers conversations. But..., Dennis was a better singer than Moon.

My very first concert was the Beach Boys. City Park in New Orleans, I was 12 years old. My mom would play their music especially on road trips to the Gulf Coast. It was 1986 Good Times with beach balls bouncing throughout the crowd. Good Vibrations was always my favorite. I can remember they used it for an old Sunkist commercial. Great memories!!

Great video. Very good narration. Dennis was such a tragic alcoholic. Wonder what made him so 😒 unhappy. Too bad he could not get the help rehab therapy ne needed. 😢😢😢

[@taroman7100]

Dennis was cursed with all the looks so he didnt have to try as hard.

[@perryneum]

Dennis was a wild child from the beginning; it has been theorized he had undiagnosed ADHD. That, and the near constant abuse he suffered at the hands of his father made for a volatile personality. Most likely a genetic predisposition to alcoholism was a factor as well.

[@PRDewhurst]

I think Dennis’ mental health was tipped into a spiral by his childhood trauma and exacerbated by the constant turmoil and political unrest within the band, add hard drugs and booze and an addictive personality on top of that and it’s not a recipe for a happy and stable outcome, very sadly. Dennis was a magnificent songwriter, at his best every bit the equal of his brothers. Pacific Ocean Blue is a glorious record that deserves more attention.

I saw the Beach Boys in 1974 or 75. Dennis Wilson was more a nuisance than anything else. He did not play the drums. He kept leaving the stage for minutes at a time. Every time he came back on stage he would randomly try harmonizing at different microphones before leaving the stage and going someplace. A total distraction.

[@johndoyle2429]

But in fairness Dennis Wilson was no fool. There is a early 1970's beachboys concert in New York where he played his song from the Sunflower album. He also made solo album in the late 70's.

[@filmretrospective63]

Must have been amazing to see them live back then.

[@patriciacarey1741]

Dennis was an excellent songwriter, second in the group only to Brian. Perhaps more importantly, in the early days Dennis was the embodiment of everything the Beach Boys sang. He was the surfer, the car guy. He lived the life.

Brian is a prime example of genius and madness often coexisting. Many people don’t realize how much pain drug addicts suffer. You’re not blowing pounds of coke or shooting suitcases of heroin because you’re happy with life…and no, money doesn’t solve those issues. In fact, it often appears to make them worse. Scott Weiland, Layne Staley, Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse…they all died rich and miserable…thankfully, Brian has managed to beat the odds and experience old age.

Carl struggled with his weight & found himself singing lead as Brian struggled. I saw them several times. Dennis was out of his mind at a 1981 show i witnessed & drunkenly sang an excruciating version of “You Are So Beautiful “… but otherwise they ran through their hits & rocked just fine.

I've followed them since a teen and now in my seventh decade. I and my wife had been to many concerts. AT EVERY ONE Mike LOVE was the perfect gentlemen, always interacting and acknowledging those in attendance, even signing off on album covers with a black marker. while performing. That was just his way. Not saying the others ignored the fans they did not. Everybody has a different vibe to them when performing. Mike Love was always KIND to the fans at any concert we attended, I believe he is a KIND SOUL. SO I am inclined to give him some slack. No one really knows what the other guy or gal is going through, meaning all of the stuff and crap, in that industry from say 1961 to the present. SO perhaps he made some people uneasy. SO WHAT.

Dennis made bad choices all by himself. Noone shoved the alcohol down his throat. He did that. And sadly dove off that boat. Dead at 39. Tragic.😢😢😢

Murry was a comic genius.

[@patgalvez4563]

I had a grandfather that died the same day that Dennis died....

it's absolutely crazy to think that there's another timeline where manson becomes a famous musician. makes me wonder how many people in the entertainment business have more incommon with manson behind the curtain than we think

Never a huge or even big Beach Boys fan, my musical tastes came from a older teen sister as I grew up in the 70's. She was a big Beatles, Beach Boys, Creedence, Jefferson Airplane type fan, and it would be all leftover 45's and albums that would lead me on. Later, a two year old brother would change those tastes to Zeppelin and Sabbath, or Deep Purple, but you get it. It was the surfing music that I just didn't dig. We were a Chicago family and maybe that was it, but either way I couldn't get Barbara Ann or I get Around type stuff. But when I came across Sloop John B, In My Room, Wouldn't It Be Nice, and most of all Don't worry Baby, God Only Knows ......... Man their ballads were beautiful. It was the Pet Sounds album that i found under my sisters dresser that I fell in love with, probably at 13 years old. For a short time I thought it was part of a double Sgt Peppers album. My sister had stuck pet sounds in with the Beatles work that had likely been done in part due to Pet Sounds. Anyway, I listened to the two albums over and over during that 13th summer of my life. Pet Sounds had been out for a decade by then, but if your are too young to get it, it would be hard to explain how you didn't hears a variety of music in the 70's, LOL, unless you had that deep access. To this day I put them at one and two in my list of greatest albums, but that's just my opinion. Hey, I fuckin' loved this little retro. I have watched all the stuff out on the turbulent live and careers of the band and the family (The Wilson's and the Manson's) and this was just so well put together and produced. Awesome job, bud. Murry Wilson would have been proud of you. I am now a subscriber.

And I thought the Beatles were f**ked up…..Rock-n-Roll…

[@CantTellYou]

Manson's question of "what would you do if I just killed you" lol Dennis shouldn't have said "do it", he should've said "I'd die"

[@cherylb2008]

They had a crazy a$$ father that made them crazy

[@johnking6252]

They were all that was good & bad with the California music/drug scene in the 60's . I didn't appreciate them till years later. ✌️ Peace out dude ✌️

[@darthcheney7447]

Top notch. Poor Dennis. Charlie fucked him up real bad.

Talking out of the side of his mouth was a symptom of overmedication.

[@filmretrospective63]

Oh really. Thanks for sharing

[@markstiggs4471]

It was a side effect of Murry hitting him in the ears when he was a child, violently. Brian went deaf in one ear, and began to favor speaking more on the side of his mouth, a common symptom of someone who is deaf in one ear. Being deaf in one ear is why Brian was not impressed with stereo.

The condition is called Tardive Dyskinesia.
