His self titled solo album is also really good if you wanna get into his solo stuff. His singing isn’t like it was in the 60s, but the production of that album sounds like a soundtrack to a Disney movie that never came out. It’s fantastic
I love watching Mike Love try to explain anything Pet Sounds related. He obviously still doesn't understand what makes the album so great and is still bitter about the whole thing and Brian's genius.
@@Wolfgang_Amadeus_X_Machina no i think the abusive psychotherapist that held brian in a conservatorship for years is objectively worse than mike love lol
It's fucking sad to know that one of the main reasons Brian abandoned the Smile album in 1967 was because Mike Love hated it. WTF!? It could've been as magical and fresh as Pet Sounds was.
I totally agree with you , that Pet Sounds is the greatest album of all time by THE BEACH BOYS, but Revolver is "the best album the Beatles ever made, which means the best album by anybody in my opinion ;-)
Brian was clearly the brains and talent behind EVERYTHING. With his ring wearing-girly dancing, bully of a cousin named Mike "Love" always trying to break him down and STILL trying to take credit. Notice that Pet Sounds, one of THE MOST BRILLIANT MUSICAL WORKS OF THE MODERN TIMES, are mostly written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher, NOT Mike Love. That's because Mike Love tried to destroy his brilliance. I can't stand how Mike Love always tries to take credit for what Brian created. Everyone else in the band gives Brian the credit but girly dancer.
But he helped write good vibrations and countless other songs. I don't get why on every beach boy video there will be haters commenting on mike. I love all of them, each of them brought something to the table.
@@BrunoPerry1, Mike "love," has the WORST last name EVER! Sued Brain, Carl and his cousin Dennis, for just using The Beach Boys name! Not much "love" in that name! steve
I grew up in Southern California however I was into what they call Doo Wop Now, Vocal Group Harmony,,,I'm 77 now been studying The Beach Boys and Jan and Dean for 3 months and I Have discovered the genius of Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys, I really appreciate their contribution to the early days of Rock N Roll, Jan & Dean.
0:56 But that's what you wanted. As Brian presented the non-vocal tracks to pet sounds, Mike Love had this to say to Brian- "Don't fuck with the formula"- Mike Love
I love Mike Love’s vocals, but his bitterness at not having the same musical talent as Brian is palpable and unfortunate. One would think after all this time and after all the fortune and fame Brian’s writing has given him he would be a little more appreciative and humble. Yes, Love contributions were substantial, but give Brian his proper credit. Didn’t he have to take enough abuse from his dad? Recognizing someone for their outstanding work doesn’t diminish the beholder one bit.
I do not agree. I think Mike's resentment comes from a very real lack of appreciation shown to him for his contribution. Yes, Brian was/is a genius. But much of his work would never have seen the light of day without Mike's obsession with "the formula." While Brian was imploding and laying in bed, MIke made sure the band continued. The Mike Love bashing is old, worn out, and just not realistic.
@@jakemitchell1671 It is well acknowledge that after Brian retreated from leadership of the band, was mainly Carl Wilson who took the musical responsibilities of his brother. Not to say that Mike’s drive wasn’t important. The thing is that Mike for all of his essential contributions as lyricist and vocalist, has tirelessly sabotage his own place in history being a giant revisionist douche with his band mates, specially Brian and Dennis.
The way Mike has treated Brian and Al over the years, cutting them out of the band they originated, when he was nothing more than a vocalist is shameful. Can't stand the man.
Pet Sounds is almost sheer perfection (I'm not a big fan of Sloop John B) and it never fails to capture my undivided attention. "God Only Knows" is matched only by "Something" when it comes to some of the greatest love songs ever written and recorded.
If it was up to Mike Love they would have been a novelty group of the times. He treats it like that to this day with his cornball tracklist and stage presence. Brian made the group legendary!
It’s become a cliche. But The Beach Boys were great In spite of Mike Love, not because of him. Under Brian and later Carl they pushed themselves musically forward and made some great records - Sunflower for example. Also in the late 60’s Dennis started writing, who at his best was incredible as the songs on the post Pet Sounds albums prove. The reason the album Surfs Up suffers is because of the lack of Dennis Wilson songs due to internal politics, but Mike Loves “Student Demonstration Time” did make the album! When Mike finally got control the hits took over and the band became irrelevant musically. That’s a fact. I don’t hate him, but he doesn’t exactly have great artistic vision though it must be said he could sing and sang a lot of the hits. He is only interested in ticket sales. It is a business after all - so fair enough. Those great albums that they did make are still out there and will always find an audience. Pet Sounds is special yes, but there is more to the story.
jamie einkauf You can see that Mike just has to be noticed, like in one of their first performances on TV he does a little dance and nobody else is doing that but he just had to draw attention to himself because he's insecure.
People dont like mike because he was more resistant to change and against or afraid of drug use. He was a bit conservative but where's the love? Who's perfect?
@@ronniebishop2496 That was the greatest speech of all time. The rest are usually boring or stories we heard a million times. I wish people would do more speeches like that
THANK YOU BRIAN FOR YOUR INSANE UNIQUENESS!! The World Is Grateful 💯 in ways like for no other music legend. A truly Classic sound like none other period.
It definitely blow out of Minds this LP became the land work that is unbeatable one of the greatest rock albums ever created by musical icon Brian Wilson dig this The Beatles wrote beautiful songs also no one would've top Rubber Soul and revolver created by a musical band Beach Boys
Mike Love is justified in his being ticked off for all these years. He was a brilliant lyricist no doubt, penned many many of the great Beach Boys songs, but that was at a time where the group was developing together at the same rate, and Mike never felt any major competition from them. But after having come back from tour whilst Brian stayed and wrote, arranged, and produced, Mike was met with the brutal reality that this kid has absolutely exponentially astronomically passed him by in terms of talent and genius. I don't blame people for getting resentful for feeling that way, but it makes no sense why one has to stagnate in that mindset/not move on. He needs to move on, he deserves it after brooding for 60 years. Ugh. He needs to give himself some peace. But he's the only one that can do that. Godspeed Brian, Al, and Mike. Love always, and an incredible indebted thank you for making life more beautiful through your music.
Brian basically competed with all 4 beatles at once goddamn. Dude alone is worth the whole beatles and I’m saying that as someone who prefers the beatles
"The vocals sessions were phenomenal um... they were ardous though· (...) He was like Stalin or somebody in the studio, the Stalin of the studio" I think Mike was still resenting "Pet Sounds" at the time he was recorded for the interview. Brian in 1966 never gave a satisfactory explanation through the recording, a explanation in which in terms of bussiness, why it was SO important for the Beach Boys as a group to have a legendary classic rather than a pop album about girls, surfin and hard rock and roll which in terms could build THE SAME money, it was gonna be a hit no matter how much work they will do. Brian pitching to Mike could only speak about his feelings, so Mike prevented to come in terms of agreeing with that as Mike probably thought Brian was having an ego trip rather than making music for the group. It never materialized in sales at the first run, but the success and the respect for The Beach Boys as a all star talented vocal group became clear as years go by. Brian was right in the end and Mike learned to appreciate Pet Sound rather than grief on it. I hope Mike does not resent Brian now. I think he does not.
Mike Love couldn't stand Pet Sounds when Brian came up with it. He didn't want the group to record the album. Love always wanted to be the songwriter and arranger Brian was.
exactly. thats why Mike Love is currently jamming all the "hits" with John Stamos and Mark McGrath. Love is a sellout and if they would have supported Brian more in the early days who knows what would have happened
Funny that they interviewed Lindsey Buckingham. The things Pet Sounds did must have been some inspiration for fleetwood mac's album Tusk. Especially considering the fact that that album was greatly creatively controlled by Buckingham.
The difference with me------as opposed to all of my friends------WAS the music ov the Beach Boys. From the very 1st, I heard it differently than anyone I knew. No one heard what I did-----the unbelievably gorgeous vocals, & clean pure instrumentation. ------------the subjects at 1st were what they knew-----but the music! OMG, there is nothing like it --------Ever.-------And, that's why young people of today are re-discovering BW & the music of the Beach Boys. -----------Wolfsky9
Bruce Johnston is a really smart and down to earth guy it seems. I bet he served as a middle ground Beach Boy when there was arguments because who could dislike him?
T-Bus best as I can tell Bruce tended to “back off” when tensions in the group were high. I think he felt uncomfortable being involved as a relative newcomer to what was essentially family drama. For example, after SMiLE fell apart Bruce was nowhere to be found on the Smiley Smile album and even stopped touring with them for a minute.
Those promo films had to be some kind of an inside joke! TERRIBLE! Or a Brian Wilson acid trip. As with the cover art for the Pet Sounds album. Ridiculous ! But the GOAT reference was prophetic. Greatest of all Time.
At the Hawkeye stadium in Iowa city. The first one I voluntarily went to was The B52s in Cedar Rapids. As a small kid, we called that town "See the rabbits". Take from that what you will.
Correct. Every take was a performance and 99% of artistes today can't pull this off. Today you sing a line and then 'snap to grid' on a computer program like Pro Tools or Cubase..lol
The problem with Pete's call for another conventional (for the time) pop album is that most of the acts around had about mined that vein. They either opened a new one or hit the revival circuit for life.
The irony is, that one of the greatest albums ever released in 1966, from LA, a month after Pet Sounds was Freak Out by The Mothers Of Invention. Seminal release, first ever double LP, but neglected. Wilson was clever, but the real LA genius was Frank Zappa.
rsands9 Look at Sgt Peppers album cover which was a large part of the communication shared by our generation, how intricate it is and then look at Pet Sounds at a Zoo. Even that arrogant Mike Love didn't get that. It's because Brian just focused on the sound not any revolutionary thinking or deep place thoughts on the life at the time. The music was great or most of it. Actually Sgt Pepper was all hype just like the cover. Rubber Soul Abby Road were much better yet Rolling Stone is still just critiquing that album by its cover.
Frank Zappa's music is clever but doesn't have the same heart, emotional depth (or maturity, I feel) that Pet Sounds has.They're both geniuses but their music isn't trying to do the same thing and isn't really comparable.
Love opens this video expressing a whole lot of love and respect for brian. Just making note of that, as folks love to jump on the "mike love is an asshole" train. I know I do!
Rest assured, they couldn't care less about you either. It's also probably a pretty safe bet that Brian Wilson, being 78 and married, couldn't care less that you "Love" him. You might want to consider getting some professional help soon...
He's not awful... egotistical.. but he was asked to work with Brian for every album basically that they did.. so without Brian bashing him I don't see why you and every other Beach Boys fan seem to do this
Because he wasn't an original Beach Boy. It was in his contract that he wouldn't be photographed or receive credits on recordings until late 1968; Brian's idea.
Brian Wilson IS a genius, plain and simple, but, I really never liked Mike love, Al Jardine. To me, they're crayons for Brian to 'paint' music, and ya, I know they're relatives, etc, but they're just such... I'm not ig fans of them (I love Carl and Dennis, RIP). There's some schmo in this - David Wild - and he's listed as 'author and music journalist'. Aside from never hearing of him, the only thing I could find he's written was a book on that pantheon rock innovators, Mr Neil Diamo🧐😁. Now, I invite that doesn't necessarily mean anything, BUT, I was watching him, and listening to his... UN-original comments, thoughts, etc, and I thought; 'WTF'?!?! THIS... Is THE 'best' music commentator the producers could find -when there's several high-calibre (music) writers who are actually capable of having original, and interesting thoughts and comments? 🧐
The Mike Love bashing needs to stop. Yes, yes, yes...Brian is/was a genius. But he became unreliable and a detriment to the continuation of the band. Music is a BUSINESS people. Without Mike Love the band would have ground to a halt and much of the brilliant music we have access to would never have seen the light of day. Brian was a trainwreck. Someone had to oversee the business affairs - the contracts, the tours, the schedule, the crews, the commitments. Was Brian going to do that while laying in bed?? Give credit where it's due. Mike Love deserves a LOT of it. To not see this is childish.

The music world would never be the same again - pet sounds takes you to another reality - and that is music.
An album that takes you to another place. A beautiful, moving, deep album, all the songs are perfect. I adore Brian ❤️
Still have it. I remember putting it on my stereo...the kind that dropped the records, when I was falling asleep.
Funny that they interviewed Lindsey Buckingham. The things Pet Sounds did must have been some inspiration for fleetwood mac's album Tusk. Especially considering the fact that that album was greatly creatively controlled by Buckingham.

Brian Wilson is the greatest human being of all time.
Best f... record ever. Timeless.
The elite session musicians of Wrecking Crew played on Pet Sounds as they did so many other hit albums of the era.
If you don't think Pet Sounds is the greatest album ever listen again and again you'll get it
Brian Wilson is pure genius !!
This album was the Inspiration for Sgt. Pepper they say but the Inspiration for Pet Sounds one could argue was Rubber Sole
phil spector
Patrick soul not sole. dummy
Mark Vickroy that's fair I will take that one

No argument is necessary. Brian Wilson has stated, unequivocally, that Rubber Soul was in fact the inspiration for Pet Sounds.

I'm a Beatles fanatic through and through but Pet Sounds is better than any of Beatle album.
Earphones in the dark
Honestly there's no way for me to choose between sgt peppers and pet sounds just no way for me to do it
Just listen to SMiLE 😁

Because he wasn't an original Beach Boy. It was in his contract that he wouldn't be photographed or receive credits on recordings until late 1968; Brian's idea.
"Pet Sounds".........Where does the "P.S." come from?Mr. Spector I believe.The tragic genius.
Tool Time...Arrrguughhh
Pet Sounds has nothing to do with Pepper. Nothing common.
Mike love look Sooooo fake.....he hated this album...
Brian Wilson IS a genius, plain and simple, but, I really never liked Mike love, Al Jardine. To me, they're crayons for Brian to 'paint' music, and ya, I know they're relatives, etc, but they're just such... I'm not ig fans of them (I love Carl and Dennis, RIP).
There's some schmo in this - David Wild - and he's listed as 'author and music journalist'. Aside from never hearing of him, the only thing I could find he's written was a book on that pantheon rock innovators, Mr Neil Diamo🧐😁.
Now, I invite that doesn't necessarily mean anything, BUT, I was watching him, and listening to his... UN-original comments, thoughts, etc, and I thought; 'WTF'?!?! THIS... Is THE 'best' music commentator the producers could find -when there's several high-calibre (music) writers who are actually capable of having original, and interesting thoughts and comments? 🧐
Is Love really someone's last name?
Mike Love's impression is soo bad... Paul McCartney doesn't speak like that "I had tears in me eyes" he's not an 18th century Irish immigrant....smh
Horrible impression. I think he was predicting macca’s cameo as a pirate years later.
12:21 they were literally full of drugs
Mike Love’s not a good person
Curse you Stg. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club!!! You copy cat!
The Mike Love bashing needs to stop. Yes, yes, yes...Brian is/was a genius. But he became unreliable and a detriment to the continuation of the band. Music is a BUSINESS people. Without Mike Love the band would have ground to a halt and much of the brilliant music we have access to would never have seen the light of day. Brian was a trainwreck. Someone had to oversee the business affairs - the contracts, the tours, the schedule, the crews, the commitments. Was Brian going to do that while laying in bed?? Give credit where it's due. Mike Love deserves a LOT of it. To not see this is childish.
Great album...one of the lamest covers of all time.
bodensick Amen!
Bless You, My Son!
I agree
@bodensick: yes, but Pet Sounds is the GOAT!
bodensick Never judge a book by its cover. Brian knew that.
