Aw man. This seems like one of the best Brian Wilson & Carl Wilson interview, and there’s only 2 minutes worth. That’s like finding one verse from the Nag Hammadi
Why would they be interviewed for Forrest gump? I don’t remember them being part of that movie or even hearing any of their music (off the top of my head) being in it.
One of the things I love about Brian is how he doesn’t use complex terminology and how he even forgets what he’s used and certain musical definitions. He’s very laid back about it. It gives him a real innocence No showing off and no music theory. Anyone can learn and play and know music extremely well if they want to, but very rarely are people TALENTED with music and songwriting abilities.
The Beatles are very tough to beat… the Beach Boys at their best were better; their genius moments were more genius than the Beatles, but the Beatles win in longevity
I love this. More please. Im off to listen to it. I just remembered my father telling me how much he liked this song. It had just been released and I was surprised because he was at that time a country fan. Good music is good music.
I remember seeing an interview with Dennis where he said early on he was so amazed when Brian played him a new song - i believe it was IN MY ROOM - and Dennis asked Brian "how do you do it" - he was in awe of Brian's talents - you grow up with your older brother, live in the same house, same room and all of a sudden your brother is able to do almost other worldly things musically
BEAUTIFUL! I love creative human beings. 🌱 Brian Wilson's genius resonates with the ENTIRE WORLD! I'm grateful to have been sharing the planet along side his sounds.
It's charmingly amusing that Brian Wilson forgot what an inversion is called. And you can totally tell they are brothers who have known each other forever.
Paul McCartney can't read notes and Brian Wilson doesn't know technical terms like 'inversion' and yet they're among the greatest songwriters of their time. I think this says something about the reductionist approach to music theory, and maybe to a lot of other things as well.
Eddie Van Halen couldn't read music, either. Seems like the great ones just use the instruments to express what they're feeling. (And, as opposed to the chicken/egg question, we know that instruments, however simple, came before sheet music. So ...)
Learning everything there is to know about grammar and vocabulary doesn't mean you'll be able to write a great literary work. It's the same with music, it's a talent to be able to express yourself like that, which is why many studio musicians schooled in theory cannot actually write successfully
Sure, Paul and his fellow Beatles couldn't read music, but opera singer Ezio Pinza and singer/ actress Shirley Jones never learned how to read music either.
Never seen this before. What a bunch of eccentrics the Wilsons were. Good thing they had such musical talent. I can't see any one of them working any kind of Regular Joe 9-5 job.
Just watched a programme on the making of Pet Sounds followed by a concert in 1976. Wonderful stuff except for Mike Love prancing around the stage like a big girls blouse !
The Beach Boys, led by Brian Wilson, basically created a new version of rock'n'roll music, using repeating rhythms, and phrases ... to the point that it caught the attention of the four lads from Liverpool, whom made a very specific point of recreating it on subsequent albums. And, yet, somehow, Brian Wilson had never heard the term "ostinato" before? Ok.
you can kind of tell that there was still that rift between Carl and Brian here and sadly it probably existed 'till the end. Carl was very hurt by comments made in Brian's "autobiography".
@@THE-HammerMan Not really. For example, California Girls, Help Me, Rhonda, Wouldn't It Be Nice, God Only Knows and Good Vibrations were all after he started LSD.
@@bodarville1472 This was taped in 1995, and Carl wasn't diagnosed with cancer until late 1996, I believe. So if he was high, it's doubtful that his cancer had anything to do with it at that point.
I have watched numerous interviews with him doing that. He does it when he's contemplating the question. I like it, shows he's not just blurting shit out.
@@yourmother3207 I think he was. Plus Brian if you are going to criticise please learn how to spell ( it’s hence!) not hens! I assume you are not a child of the 60s?
Can anyone help me understand two bits of Carl's initial comments, here? I can't quite make them out (too many years standing in front of an amp line). The first comes at 0:16 while Carl's discussing his CO days. He says, "I guess that (....) really stood out to me." The other is at 0:25. "And you know, the (....) in Vietnam are so shattering, so real." Thanks, anybody.
The first one is "I guess that sort of really stood out to me" and the second sounds like "the sequences in Vietnam". I think he's alluding to the Vietnam scenes in Forrest Gump.
BW "what's that, same chords, different region?" CW "inversion".... Brian Wilson is a musical genius and doesn't know (or can't think of) the words "inversion" and "ostinato" (repeated note pattern)......so funny !
Is this from a documentary? If so, where can i find it? 😁
It's from the Forrest Gump VCD 2 disc version from 1995. This is the complete segment with Brian and Carl. I wish there was more :(
This is very random but I like your name 😂 it sound dope

The way the brothers always talked about Brian with such love and reverence always brought a tear to my eye. They cared about each other so much.
"Van Dyke told me" is the most innocent thing I've ever heard anybody say 😄
I love it 😆
Elaborate?
"Ostinato! I've never heard that before!" Man how I love Brian Wilson. Absolute genius!
"Van Dyke told me" - so cute :-)

Brian didn't need to know all those terms, he was just a natural master of harmony.
Unpretentious
Lets hear the Basses and that big thing. Tuba! says the musician. The Tuba! Brian responds.@@davidnissim589
Geniuses.
Rest in peace, Carl.
Wow! That was so special to see the two brothers together. Something mysterious and wonderful about Carl. he seemed to have a lot of depth.
He sure did.
Good ,good vibrations!🥰🥰❤❤✌✌
A very gentle soul, forever in my heart ☮️❤️
This is adorable. I wish this went on for four hours those two talking. They’re so cute being bros together
Agreed! 👍
RIP Carl - we’ll never forget you!
No, we won’t ! Love the Wilson Brothers ❤️
God only knows……
Two geniuses, Brian and Carl Wilson... Love Sloop John B, miss Carl Wilson. The Beach Boys will forever be somewhere in my hear
What amazing musicians and singers these two were
Their music was the best of all time. Thanks for sharing this special moment.
Brian: Ostinato! I've never heard that
Carl: Van Dyke told me
Lmao
That explains everywhere they were going in 66-67 until dumbass Mike Love stepped in.
Most of the Beach Boys are so humble. Especially Carl, Al and Brian.
@@samhardy6319 in other words, the good boys
Very funny "Van Dyke (Parks) told me "
Classical music of our time , the bridge he did in good vibrations still blows my mind after all the years ..
You can criticise all you want but these boys were the icons of the 60s!!!
You bet they were!
Too right. I'm fed up of hearing about The Beatles. The Beach Boys are the best band ever, in the world.
@@speedy692 👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@speedy692 For me it’s a tie. I had both bands records and I still love both bands songs very very much.

Is it just me or these brothers really loved each other and recognized there talent

Wish there was more of these two geniuses talking about their music
The Blues Brothers
the beach brothers
I like how when Carl demonstrated the second guitar part and made it sound exactly like a Banjo
2 talented, loving brothers hammered, for the world to see. Yes, please!
Van Dyke Parks really the type of dude to tell people about Ostinatos
Ostinato! Never heard that before... Carl: Van Dyke told me. Absolute classic. 😂
I always felt a sense of sadness coming from Carl.
All three of the Wilson brothers seemed to have a great deal of depth. I like to think that Carl was a seeker of peace and spiritual truth.
One hell of a band!
@@1401minstrelwell said
They spent the rest of their lives dealing with the after effects of Murry’s abuse…😢
Two amazing men. Nothing else to say.
I wish they had more of this footage
Some nerdy information to remember, Inversion and Ostinato; also how close, intelligent and funny Brian, Carl, and Dennis were always together
Wow, you can really see they're brotherly friendship.
Carl had one of the best singing voices I ever heard. Dam near perfect. Talk about someone being sorely missed.
Man, I love the double shades. Cool Brothers!!
What a voice Carl Wilson hat.
Two great bands in my opinion to come out of California The Doors and The beachboys. Does anyone agree with me.?.
I think we just met the original Blues Brothers. ❤❤
"Van Dyke told me". LMFAO!
I could watch this forever, love them both.
They almost look like a Blues Brothers version of the Beach Boys.
It's charmingly amusing that Brian Wilson forgot what an inversion is called. And you can totally tell they are brothers who have known each other forever.
Appreciate the re-upload!
Thanks brother! We will give it another go :)
Exactly, I loved Cream 👏👏👏🇬🇧
Love these 2
Two of the very best ever!
Two legends 😎

FEEL. All about that feel
I think it shows that talent is more intuitive than learning notes off a page

@02:10 "The best is yet to come!"
This is amazing!!!!! Well done !,, 🙏🙋♀️
She's real fine my 409 it has so much meaning to me now in my old age
Can you elaborate? I love the song, as well, but I'm interested in how it became more meaningful to you as you matured.
I think they are old enough now that their wife is actually 409 years of age
Never seen this before. What a bunch of eccentrics the Wilsons were. Good thing they had such musical talent. I can't see any one of them working any kind of Regular Joe 9-5 job.
The best is yet to come :)
Dude the beach boys story needs to be a TV show. You cant make this stuff up. So awesome. The 90s beach boys era would be such a good season of TV
2024 i want more 😭
Wow. This must be from right before Carl started dyeing his hair. I miss that guy.
It was footage from the Forest Gump cd rom. Wish I still had. There was additional footage of music artist's interviewed from the soundtrack.
Van Dyke told me hahahahaha
Wow. Thanks. Hope it stays up.
Just watched a programme on the making of Pet Sounds followed by a concert in 1976. Wonderful stuff except for Mike Love prancing around the stage like a big girls blouse !
Mike Love is a blabbering idiot.
Carl really passed away to young
THE BEST IS YET TO COME! HMMM!
1:33…..I think Brian meant “register”. He definitely didn’t mean “inversion”.
Or octave
I agree....octave was what I think.
That is so beautiful
Oestenato! 😎 Pure genius
Dang those some dark shades!
Brian says: “it was LOADED!” Uhhh... speaking of “loaded”, Brian! Lol. Carl and Brian are loaded during this video!
I have no idea where you would get that from? Carl is perfectly normal and Brian is exactly how Brian is. Its from his meds, not alcohol, jackass.
@@TonysMusic1974 please stop being rude... this had all but ruined TH-cam 😕
@@randalclarke5487 you should see the rest of social media

And just what did you do nice for someone today?

We're just gettin goin here!
you can kind of tell that there was still that rift between Carl and Brian here and sadly it probably existed 'till the end. Carl was very hurt by comments made in Brian's "autobiography".
That would explain Carl being the one to reject Brian's Paley session stuff and instead work on Stars and Stripes Vol 1.
Al Jardine suggested that the Beach Boys should try their hand at The Kingston Trios song. Brian resisted at first but later changed his mind.
Van Dyke told me.
What do you call it?.. inversion.. pure genius!
Sunglasses Indoors…… 😎 😎 🦆
Carl knew for him to get out of going to Vietnam, someone else had to go. That's a tough thing to live with.
I stated before, both bros had just come back from the eye doctor.
🤣😎
Yeah ... the "I" doctor. As in ... "I" need some more of that really good shit, "doctor".
Wasnt carl one of the best guitare player ever?
He was very good and he (and David Marks) created the iconic surf guitar sound
Who else played chuck berry style guitare
They are both SOOOOO gone! They must be so high
1:39 haha an octave he means?
Nope, inversion is not the same as shifting everything up an octave (and would create harmony, as in the song, unlike a simple octave shift)
@@lennardvaarten7791 oh ok buddy
Register (?)
Carl was right is called inversion
No. Brian was looking for "inversions."
How's it going eh?
My name's Carl Wilson and this is my brother Brian.
How's it going eh?
Just need pork pie hats to be the Blues Brothers ;)
Van Dyck told me…! lol
i think Brian and Carl "slooped one up" before the interview if you get what i am saying.
The Beach Brothers
The best is yet to come!! What year was this?
I think it was 1995. It was part of the extras included in the DVD for Forrest Gump.
Brothers
WHY THE GLASSES???? I LOVE CARL'S EYES.💘❣️💝💔💖❤️🔥💗❤️🩹💓🧡💞💕
Perhaps he was self conscious about those beautiful eyes showing age.
So sad. One rocking back and forth, the other looking off in all direction behind the glasses, musical geniuses, yet so spaced out. Just sad.
They kinda look like The Blues Brothers 😄
Where did they find this? Where can we find the whole unedited tape?
😔❤️😟
Just imagine what more Brian would have done if he had not fried too many times on LSD. His genius was derailed, unfortunately.
At the same time though, None of it would have ever happened without it
@@handwriting8804 Debatable. Most all their(Brian's) mega hits with genius songwriting & harmonies were before Brian started dropping 'L'.
@@THE-HammerMan Not really. For example, California Girls, Help Me, Rhonda, Wouldn't It Be Nice, God Only Knows and Good Vibrations were all after he started LSD.
Not to mention SMiLE was pure LSD
@@SeahorsesJay And hash freely consumed by Brian, Dennis, Carl and Mike in the studio while recording SMiLE.
When was this recorded? I'm gonna guess 1987??
'95
So glad Brian got off all that medication
Carl looks like he is high out of his mind, keeps tilting his head up, but it is sad to seem then both in “poor health”
Maybe he was smoking pot to help with the pain from cancer
@@bodarville1472 hey, there’s no shame in that, good for him

If this is 1995 than I believe this is a few years before Carl got sick with his cancer. Would not have been on medication for that.
@@cynthiam3943 Carl wasn't going through cancer treatments yet, but I like your spelling correction.
@Dartgame 340 Spelling makes a difference everywhere. Hens don't wear sunglasses.

Indeed !
It appears they both were dabbling in the drug thing here as neither one was very sharp witted.
Why does Brian Wilson always sound like he's drunk when he speaks? Jerry Lee Lewis always sounded like that, too.
Brain damage from both drugs and the years of over prescribed psychiatric medications 😢
Kawaii.
