The Beach Boys Story: In Their Own Words | Documentary 

I stood at the Beach Boys Commemorative Plaque on the side of the 90 freeway where it all began. I was there back in summer of 2000. Their house used to be there. I got there by chance when I was looking to take the 90 Marina Freeway to connect out to Orange, in Orange County to visit my girlfriend at the time. I took a turn that was wrong and missed the onramp. I was pleased and let down all at the same time. LOL ...😀🏝 They say that the Beach Boys were actually living in Hawthorne California...Manhattan Beach is better, ya. I heard Surfing was born in Huntington Beach CA.

I was born in '58 and didn't learn about the Beach Boys until maybe age 10-13 as my friends were top fuel and super stock racers before then and one Dad was our local drag strip announcer.

Me too 👍

Yes yes, but not only that. Any sentimental Hollywood-style to make us cry instantly approach is omitted. Instead a deep and new view on families and how to survive them.

To me The Beach Boys always had the greatest Harmony's when it came to singing.📻🎙.60's-70's-80's had the greatest music everybody was happy..The 60's had it's bad points with JFK- Vietnam War protesting but we always listen to music to block out things that were going on in the world..🎸🎹🥁🎼🎵🎛

Yea .... If I'm being completely honest I favor a song like "In My Room" as opposed to "Good Vibrations"...

Brian just needed a friend. Sad

​@@timothyburnett6424He needed a bit more than that, but Landy went overboard! He needed some protection & separation from any more drug & alcohol use for sure! Unfortunately that included much of what Dennis was engaged in! Have seen it in numerous families & childhood friends!

​@@timothyburnett6424made beach boys music 🎼🎶 it's looks like really remember reel feel like story life look back

@@cristineconnell7803Absolutely correct.

Landry was much worse than narcissistic. Horrible abuse of power lost him his medical license. He made Brian far worse than he needed to be, despite the drugs and other substances.

Lmao 😂

Yea imagine being in a band when someone else's father is telling you what to do, and signing publishing deals with his own son to keep the money in the Wilson family and keeping you out of it. Plus working with a bad member whose losing his mind doing drugs and another whose hanging out with Charlie manson. Mike was lead vocalist on most of the earlier big hits, so can't blame him for being screwed around by his cousins and their father. Blood was thicker than water and the Wilsons loved their crazy father, the rest of the band were stuck with him until they all realised he'd had his day and was no longer viable.

@@adrinathegreat3095 Actually it would have worked out great if Brian had fired Love at the same time as his father back then as both had outlived their usefulness to the group

“Don’t f**k with the formula.” Thank God Brian didn’t listen to the worst advice ever. Then No Pet Sounds. And no Sgt. Peppers. Yea good call Mike Love.

Lolllll

He created the band, taught them all how to sing from an early age and financed them, got them a recording contract and produced there first big hits, creating the beach boys sound, later he co-wrote with Brian a couple of song's. Funny thing is the fans hate him, but the Wilson brothers loved him. Murray was like most fathers from the 50s, strict and often violent towards his family, it's how life was, their was still racial separation during the time they grew up. But America portrayed to the world a kind of well to do middle class happy days scenario, shit was kept in the house, swept under the rug, what went on indoors stayed indoors, very different times

And a flop initially in the USA with poor sales in relation to its cost

@@adrinathegreat3095who gives a shit about that other than record executives. The people of the real world’s opinion is what matters (and the music is legendary)

The music buyers didn't give a shit, the beach boys by then were had beens and heading for basically greatest hits to keep them going. The beatles were making them look stone age.

@@adrinathegreat3095 In England they were in the top 10 for 6 months after the album's release. As the saying goes, "No prophet is accepted in his hometown." People gave a shit, just not many Americans. And America loves to believe it's the only country that matters...

@@adrinathegreat3095 That didn’t happen till after Good Vibrations and the shelving of Smile. I blame Love for that as well. The Beatles at that time were a force of nature so it would be difficult for anyone to keep up but Brian went toe to toe with them for a while.

Deffo mate😅

Brain Wilson

This is Mike Love's Internet.

I agree

Probably changed the pitch to avoid copyright

@@artapollo3367 That's usually for the music

Landy and several others wanted to gain Brian's confidence so they could partner with him in the pop music business. Landy was a con man.

​@@gymshoe8862But there was a time when the BBs tricked Brian into getting back with Landy.

John Stamos

Fathers get too much leniency for being assholes.

He doesn't belong in the Beatles

....They already had roadies!. 🤷

They wouldn't have wanted some crazy loose cannon spending days in bed and living in a fantasy world of paranoia, hearing voices and refusing to go on stage. They had a solid line up and a totally different outlook and upbringing, that came out in their music

Didn’t Lennon spend a week in bed for peace?

You cant just join the Beatles.

No, & nor should there be. Dennis was influenced by this creep & the free sex & drugs, but he was only in his company for 1 year, 18 months tops. People go on about Manson like he was in Dennis's life, for ALL his life. Dennis was more than that creep. Study his music & lyrics. He had learned his musical skills from Brian. Dennis was musically smart, intellectually smart too.

Not weird. Plenty of people when I was growing up were into the "old guys" the Beatles, Zeppelin, even the Beach Boys.
