God I love Hal Blaine. He is like the real workingman artist, a complete pro, and yet just outrageously brilliant. What a great storyteller too. Heaven is a cooler place with you in it Hal!
Besides being a superb drummer, Hal Blaine also had the great fortune of working as a studio musician when the most brilliant talents in the pop and rock music world were operating at full creative strength during the '60's and '70's. A life well led, I must say. How exciting it must have been for him.
Idk. In the 1950s and early 60s, rock music records were confiscated and burned. In the 1970s, disco was mocked and risked ambushing by white delinquents.
I've said it before and I will say it again; these interviews are so interesting because of two things; 1) The contents speaks to me (I'm 65), and 2) Mr Chambers knows how to keep out of the way, so that what I want to know comes across. Thanks again, Joe...
So true. I just listened to an interview of Floyd Sneed of Three Dog Night. The interviewer kept cutting him off it go to the point of unlistenable. Mr. Chambers gets it right! thanks for mentioning!
Agree fully, ask the right questions and let the guest answer. You don't inject yourself into the interview, you guide the interview. Love your content.
I attended that 1990 Beach Boys convention in San Diego, organized by Les Chan, God rest his soul. Hal signed his new book, The Wrecking Crew, for me and I got a picture with Brian. Hal was really nice to everyone.
I was at the San Diego convention. I got tickled in this video at Hal talking about "all the kids" coming out to the convention, because I was THE KID there! I was 15 and from Oklahoma--and stood out like a sore thumb. I had a great visit with Hal that day and was personally introduced to Brian by Rick Edgil, one of the organizers (along with Phil Mast and the aforementioned Les Chan).
I love Brian Wilson - one of my heroes. His emotional/mental circumstances are the classic example of the grand convergence of genetics, environment, and chemicals. Hard, but it happens. My heart has always been with him. And re business, Pet Sounds lyricist Tony Asher said while writing at Brian’s house he found royalty checks laying around. Some as large as $100k. Tony said he was a musical genius, but not so good at being a human. Thank you, Joe.
Great interview Joe, I’m looking forward to more of Hal! He probably understood Brian better than most folks in the industry, and obviously Brian respected Hal! 💫
When people ask me who the greatest basketball player ever is, I say that's easy. Jabbar dropped the ball in the hole the most. He's the best. When they ask me who the greatest rock musician ever, I say that's easy. Hal Blaine had more #1s than any musician ever. When they ask me who is the greatest rock documentarist ever, I say that's easy. It's Joe! Thanks so much for preserving our musical cultural history.
That's idiotic, he is not even close to being the greatest. The reason the Wrecking crew played on so many records is because they were generic and simple players. Pop songs are simple and generic. You are not going to have advanced innovative musicians play on pop records.
@@mikeraz594 maybe not the greatest, but to say that hal blaine and the wrecking crew were not world class musicians shows a complete lack of understanding on your part
Amazing material again! Never seen Hal so serious for so long in an interview. Beach Boys fanatics are going to flip over this! Joe, you're knocking them out of the park.
The Beachboys got me through my teens. They along with the Beatles made life bearable at that time. I had the great fortune of seeing Mike Love with his version of the band recently and it was a very emotional experience hearing the music of my youth played to perfection. Thanks to Hal Blaine for recounting some of his memories of the band. He is such a gentleman.
That was great Joe! Obviously, Hal tells it like it is. Brian is a musical genius for sure. Unfortunately, his relationship with his Dad was not a good one. Plus, to many drugs took a toll on him. However, he did give the world some great music. Thanks for these terrific interviews......... 👍👍😉😉
Joe, allow me to add my thanks to the growing list of us who so appreciate you sharing these "You Are There," kind of interviews with men and women we will always admire. This collection is truly a national treasure - Jeff
Hal Blaine is a hero. He played on the first record I ever bought, which was Partridge Family Sound Magazine, which was David Cassidy's record that he made to show he was a real musician, which he was. What a voice. Some great songs on that record, (some kind of corny but still good nonetheless), and Hal Blaine, along with Ringo Starr, Charlie Watts, and the Motown drummers (I grew up in Windsor) taught me how to play drums. The documentary on the Wrecking Crew is so worth watching.
Wonderful interview. The intro that Brian played in the studio that Hal couldn’t remember was for Good Vibrations. ( Hal mentioned in in a previous interview). It’s so sad that Brian went from a leader to a person so easily mislead.
Brian Wilson was the beach boys There inspiration driving force and a musical genius his father was a not a nice person . He was rough on his sons I read that he slapped Brian when he was a young man and broke his eardrum so he was deff in one ear he used to be really rough on all of them . When I read that I understood there tragic lives. It literally brings tears to your eyes. To think what may have been no doubt considerable damage to there music careers and lives. And yet they still managed to make a song book of our lives in the sixties and seventys. Incredible.
Good luck to you Joe. Thanks for all the kind words. Nothing is like seeing them in the comments. Brian Wilson has a heart of gold. That is heard in his words and music.
Burt Bacharach told a similar story about his song Wives & Lovers. Producers at one point insisted on changing the time signature to 4/4 time which absolutely wrecked the song. The Frank Sinatra/Count Basie (arranged by Quincey Jones) version on You Tube is in 4/4 time. Unrecognizeable. No swing to it. Burt spoke humorously about this version in an interview. They even had Burt doubting himself about it for awhile. Finally Burt insisted & the song became an iconic tune. (3/4 time) (Nancy Wilson version also on You Tube) Great video Sir. 👍
I have the highest possible respect for session musicians because in order to survive as one you'd better be good. Really good.I remember hearing Previn speaking about those he worked with in the Hollywood studios and he said they were the finest ever.
An influencial producer/influencer , for Association, Beachboys new sound, behind the curtain was Curt Boettcher relatively unknown to most is Curt Beottcher, who was essentially a student of Phil Specter. Curt is actuall responsible for many hits and B side unheard great nuggets to this day.
God bless you Hal Blaine.... You were a true friend to Brian...always cared but like I would've done with a giant like Brian...keep my distance when it came to his personal life. I've struggled with drugs and mental illness for years and I was blessed with a great doctor and 3 of my friends of 25 year...mind you I'm only 32...but all those guys kept they're distance during my dark years..like Brian..only seeing them rarely when they'd stop by and I'd be very short with them... Those guys along with Brian's music and similar struggle they pulled me from hell... I was omw there.... Im blessed with friends as great and talented as this man Hal Blaine... God bless you sir !
That "club" includes Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. Brian Wilson reached 27 in 1969 and is now the only survivor of the immediate family he grew up in. He is 80 at this writing.
Mr. Chambers, I like your interviews and I hope you have these oral histories backed-up on an SSD or on the cloud. I appreciate the work you do. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for sharing these interviews with us. Hal is one of those rare music legends that's able to do his own stories justice retelling them. Also, I just looked it up and there's a low quality version of that original Wilsons song on TH-cam - and wow! Goosebumps.
Damn, Danny Seraphine and now Hal Blaine. Between these 2 drummers they played on most of my favorite American music from 68-78.... Always have loved interviews with Hal. I loved the Wrecking Crew movie.. RIP.
I was at the San Diego convention he mentioned- it was a small thing, and no one seemed to have expected Brian to show up. That was 1991. I've got an old SMiLE slick from the seventies that he signed for me there, framed on the wall a few feet from where I type. Landy was so oily. He gave me the shudders.
Thank you, Joe Chambers, for another excellent music educational clip. Fascinating stories with great insights for true fans, and as always, terrific production values. Your content is always compelling!
The Sunrays, from Pacific Palisades, had two singles that charted on Billboard, I Live for the Sun and Andrea, #51 and #41 in 1966, which I heard on The Big 11-10, KRLA Pasadena, my favorite AM radio station in the greater LA area. Rick Henn, The Sunrays’ drummer, lead singer, and songwriter, was a friend of Brian Wilson’s brother Carl Wilson and Cheryl Brandon, a singer in a family band I played in, Sounds of Tyme, based in Paramount. Memories in the windmills of my mind.
I enjoy your channel, good interview. I think Hal Blaine went to High School with my father in San Bernardino. I could be wrong, but he lived there for awhile.
Yes a great wonderful interview Joe. I agree with one of the other comments. I would’ve loved to of heard that record before the producer hacked it up. Hal is a totally honest guy who is very articulate and can express his opinion in a totally non-judge mental fashion.
I first found out about Hal Blame back in the early 70's when he recorded all the Partridge Family songs. Back then it was really hard to get info about recording sessions and who or what was going on behind the scenes. Now with the internet you can get everything with video and documentary history.
Historic! Carol Kaye talks about how the Beach Boy sessions would get longer and longer using the three hour session time for one song instead of the 3 or 4. But, still, great songs came out of Brian. I wonder how man6 stories Hal had yet to share? R.I.P. Mr. Blaine.
Hi 707…. Thanks for watching….. as for how many stories Hal had left to share about Brian and the Beach Boys…. and probably any acts that were interesting he recorded with few if any. Hal lived a long time and gave a lot of interviews and speeches.I don’t think he left out anything of interest… best, Joe
Perhaps we could, if someone had access and cared enough. Unless the masters went up in that big vault fire around 2005. Paul McCartney hated what Phil Spector did to his songs, adding a choir. Years later, we got the stripped down version without the choir. Much better, simpler, more intimacy. Maybe the same could happen in this case. Probably the girls would have to be asked to get the ball rolling.
I saw Brian Wilson at Jazz Fest in New Orleans a number of years ago. He had a teleprompter and was introducing a song as the first song he ever wrote then couldn’t remember what the song was. It was so sad.
I've suspected Joe Thomas of totally dominating every aspect of music he "co" produced and wrote with Brian from "Imagination" to "That's Why God Made The Radio." The arrangements have nothing to do with Brian's post 60s developments while also being cheaply derivative of Brian's 60s style
WHY WOULD ANY PRODUCER WORTH HIS BALLS OR OTHER(I DONT DISCRIMINATE) say that a record recorded by Brian Wilson and Hal Blaine after getting BOTH and his daughters stamp wanna add anything to it...INSANITY !!!!
2packs4sure Well...I sure enjoy hearing about how things “go on”. Did anyone hold a gun to your head to force you to watch a video? Try to remember this: if you don’t like something, just move on...you don’t have to be rude to others.
May 1975, during the California Music session for Why Do Fools Fall in Love. Brian produced and played on it as well th-cam.com/video/zqkS0s3P7wM/w-d-xo.html
Maybe it's just me, but I listened to the final release of Everything I Need and I'm at a loss as to what Hal is talking about. What, "clicks, bangs and bongs and smashes" ? The song sounds just fine.
God I love Hal Blaine. He is like the real workingman artist, a complete pro, and yet just outrageously brilliant. What a great storyteller too. Heaven is a cooler place with you in it Hal!
Loved Hal Blaine! The ultimate professional and a cool cat. 😎 miss him.
"Brian was making his kind of music."
Brian is a very pure soul.
Besides being a superb drummer, Hal Blaine also had the great fortune of working as a studio musician when the most brilliant talents in the pop and rock music world were operating at full creative strength during the '60's and '70's. A life well led, I must say. How exciting it must have been for him.
Wonderful interview. To bad Brian had such horrible people in his life
Long live the memory of the late, great Hal Blaine. xoxo The Clarences
Hal was coming from a time and place where people treated each other with respect in spite of artistic differences.
So true
Unless you're Mike Love and you don't do that lmao
Mike love was cheated and stolen from and I believe that's why Brian lost his mind.
Idk. In the 1950s and early 60s, rock music records were confiscated and burned. In the 1970s, disco was mocked and risked ambushing by white delinquents.
