Interesting interview. Brian looks medicated and half asleep at times. He also is thinking many thoughts that he is not saying at times. Mike looks very comfortable, claiming songwriter (lyric) credit here and there, and Brian shoots back no more than a look... But he shoots a LOT of looks in this interview! Carl (apparently Brian's sworn favorite, as I imagine Brian was Murray's) could have brought some needed levity and insight, as certainly could have Dennis. But this really is the real Beach Boys, the lasting, molten core. Charlie Rose deserves credit for making this interview happen.
Not surprised Brian commented on Carl's loss but not Dennis. A few years ago there was a deluxe reissue of Dennis's cult classic Pacific Ocean Blue. Brian was asked to comment on it and freely admitted he had never heard it. Once it was played for him he said "that's nice". Brian could compartmentalize his emotions, and his feelings for Dennis were not on display as they were for Carl.
@@WilliamHerlihy-p4g Brian had always sort of been grooming Carl for bigger and better things. It didn’t mean that he never cared much for Dennis. He just saw something special in Carl from a very early age. When Carl sort of ‘took over’ as band leader in the late sixties and early seventies, it was something that Brian very willingly relinquished to. I’m sure he loved both of his little brothers equally, but with Carl he just knew that he had something special, and he most definitely did. That voice, man… it soared.

Ugh.
It's also the fact that both brothers died so young. Both are tragedies, in different ways. One accidentally because he was destroyed from drugs & alcohol, and the other from cancer in only his early 50s. Both so sad.
Al Jardine... a relatively unsung hero in the band. His bright, beautiful voice fit perfectly into the harmony. And through all of the troubles in the band... Al provided stability. I recently heard his Endless Summer Band and was blown away. The musicians in his band are mostly former long-time Beach Boys backup musicians. It's the best version of the Beach Boys by far. Got to meet Al after the concert and sing parts of his Winds of Change song with Al. An experience of a lifetime. He was very nice and friendly.
He is super intelligent - I mean no one ever mentions just how brilliant Brian is as to his intellect and, of course, he is brilliant musically and a great producer of his work without which we would not have had the pleasure of the Beach Boys!! Thank you Brian!!!!!
Great interview. One of Charlie's best I think. Hope they keep playing together. They are a national treasure for sure. The music is soooo fun, inspiring, and thoughtful, provocative and reflects upon multi generations. It is what music should be. It connects us.
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.
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!!!!
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 👌
@@josephharnett5075 I heard it a lot and I like it a lot. It sounds to me very much like NO Pier Pressure, though I've only heard that a couple of times(and on a less good sound system).
@@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.
Watching this interview, it is so clear to me why these guys couldn’t stay together as a band. As cordial and “nice” as they are, to me there is a clear undercurrent of weirdness and discomfort between them. They all see things pretty differently, and at a certain point as old men that was never going to change
That's why Brian was so quiet. He let Mike (I) Love Myself, do most of the talking. Even when Love tried to compliment Brian he did it with a twist of the knife in Brian's spleen and a high-five to himself. Just too obnoxious for words. Who could work with such a megalomaniac?
Having had the privilege of working with Brian (before this interview and actually met Carl along with his late wife), glad that they were harmonious and seemingly get along with each other during this interview Compare Beach Boys’ Kokomo (without Brian) versus Love and Mercy (without The Beach Boys) that came out at the same time People should remember that no record company would sign The Beach Boys without Brian - because he’s DA TALENT!! Brian was (and still is) a GREAT PERSON!! The Boys’ gift was their harmonies. Mike Love believes that he is talented as Brian and fought for songwriting credits in songs that he had minimal input. Mike Love wanted to always sing songs about surfing and cars Brian wrote 29 albums within 7 years
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.
Mike Love is in a group called the Beach Boys because he managed to get it legally, so he gets to use that name. But Brian Wilson is "Brian Wilson!" He can't be defined by anything other than himself. And...we all know that all the songs Mike Love's band sings with the exception of that annoying Kocomo, or whatever it is called, are Brian Wilson songs. Love wrote some of the lyrics, but when you are given such melodies, honestly, the lyrics come with it even if they do so on an ethereal plane.
Charlie Rose was a fantastic interviewer. He was so prepared and thoughtful about his questions. I don't remember what he was accused of. no one is perfect.
Going back to 65, I always equated Brian with Mozart. Nobody in those days thought it was anything other than pretentious, including my family. 60 years later, it still seems the right call.
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.
@@c.a.t.732 wrong. This has been overstated and inaccurately researched starting in the 70s by lazy journalists. Read the sessionographies painstakingly researched in the past decade or so . They played on a LOT more than people know, particularly Carl and also Dennis (and obviously Brian, who produced everything through 1968). Yes it is true that the Wrecking Crew played a major part in 65-67, but even then Carl and at times Dennis played.
@@jlee2383 "Even then Carl and at some times Dennis played"? I stand corrected... one member (or occasionally two) of a 5 piece played on their records. Wow.
@@c.a.t.732 considering Mike Love was a singer and onstage frontman and not an instrumentalist, you can subtract one. And one other member is the fucking producer who was the studio mastermind at a time when no other band had that. So yeah, that’s the majority of the band.
@@jlee2383 You're right... one quarter of the band played on their records, not one fifth. Much more impressive. And being the producer isn't the same as playing, which was my point.
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.
@@billviola7884 I thought Mike sounded very level headed here. He deserves some credit. Him and Brian wrote and produced some beautiful songs together.
@@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.
Brian doesn’t appear to be happy being part of this talk. Something odd. Way back 1960’s the BB were to perform and Shea and I believe it was canceled. So they were wandering around the stadium. I think Peter Noone was there too. Bruce J shook my hand when I called his name. I was struck that was so cool.
Early 80s I played the hottest club in Nashville in the house band. Bruce came up to me(I wasn't sure who he was) and wanted to sit in.He said he was with the Beach Boys- and then said he wrote I Write the Songs- which he did. He sat in for a while but I don't think he fit in with all the country we were playing. Nice guy, though. I met Mike briefly but all he did is stand there and stare at me- kind of a jerk.
Who asked Mike Love to do all the talking? Charlie Rose should be directing his questions - a lot of them directly to Brian. Otherwise, Love will take over the whole shebang!
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.
Mike seems to do nothing but b positive towards Brian...so it's either money, an argument, or a girl....Brian never "forgave" Mike 4 being the other beach boys, while Brian truly was lost...maybe Mike has been overbearing, but I don't see y the hatred stays among millionaires?
Could mike stop the nonstop click clacking of his gold rings!!!??? Is that REALLY necessary?? Doesn’t let up for a second though the entire interview. He’s spent his entire life in recording studios, he cannot possibly not be aware of all that noise he’s making. If it was anyone else, ANYONE, they would’ve stopped the camera immediately and the sound engineer would’ve walked over to him and said ‘Hey CLEOPATRA!!! you think you might stop clanging your gold rings ?!?!’. But even the sound engineer could tell within 5 minutes of meeting him that he’s an unhinged narcissist…., so why bother. Always and forever passive aggressive, annoying, look at me- notice me!!!
@@EatAPeach72 Sry.., wasn’t trying to insult fans of Mike Love. I’m a lifelong fan (56 yrs old). I LOVE The Beach Boys. I’ve always enjoyed Mike’s contributions to the band.

Breaks my heart when brian says he
misses his brothers How fond he was of Carl Everyone Loved Carl Wilson
At least Carl died from natural causes so to speak, the most painful must've been the loss of Dennis due to drowning and alcohol.
Brian Wilson has a very direct and unfiltered manner in speaking/articulating his thoughts or feelings on a particular subject or matter.
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.

Love this interview - so good to hear their individual accounts of things, just talking old and current times 😀
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.
they did at the end of the new netflix documentary

It's really sad that The Beach Boys didn't carry on making more albums after this point.
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
Thank Mike Love for that, as he refused to continue. Brian, Al and David wanted to do more touring and a new album.

Saw this 50th anniversary tour, honor considering Brian's mental shape now.
That mental stuff was due to gene Landy who was a very manipulative psychologist a horrible person
