This one hits hard. I'm lucky to have had the Beach Boys featuring in my youth.Quote:

That’s a sore one. Genius and tortured soul. The version of Smile he finally released in 2004 is just sublime, one of those albums I frequently play from start to finish.Quote:

Very sad. A true musical genius. Just listened to a wonderful tribute on 5 Live from Dr Joe Bennett. RIP Brian. One of the greatest of all time 🙌
I saw Brian Wilson headline the Pet Sounds Arena at T In The Park in the mid 2000s (2007 maybe). He was well past his best as a live act by then but he still had a real presence and held the crowd captive for his whole set.
Thinking back the line up that year was absolutely brilliant across every stage and he was my absolute highlight. So many other people made reference to the fact he was present during their own sets.

Aww man RIP Brian.
My dad introduced me to the beach boys when I was in my teens, in particular Pet Sounds. “Listen to that instead of that rubbish you normally listen to” Ohh wow! Never heard anything like it and from then on only ever listened to stuff my dad gave me.
God only knows is a work of art!!
I think McCartney said they had to come up with something special to compete with Pet Sounds and it inspired them to write Sgt Peppers. High praise indeed.

RIP Brian Wilson an icon in music, I grew up listening to the Beach Boys music.
Not so much a celebrity, but an inspiration to many.

Nitzer Ebb's Douglas McCarthy dead at 58 from likely liver cirrhosis. As an industrial fan these guys were massive in shaping my musical tastes as a teenager. Devastated.
Woke up to Good Vibrations this morning and the news that Brian Wilson had died.Quote:

Went down a bit of a Beach Boys rabbit hole tonight and ended up starting a documentary on The Wrecking Crew. Incredible stories if you’re not familiar. It’s on YouTube.
Saw that a while back. Made by one of the WC's sons. Sadly not a huge amount of footage but the stories and the story of them is brilliant.Quote:
