DL, can you name the guys in this video?

Dennis Wilson is the hot one. Brian Wilson is the genius.

Thanks, R1. Who's the one at the 41-43 second mark? The one with his eyes closed. Dennis??

I meant to say Brian, not Dennis.

I think the guy you're thinking of is Bruce Johnston.

The Wrecking Crew did the studio work so Dennis had nothing to do in that clip except wink. He was cuter than Hal Blaine though. But it was Hal who played on the record and on just about every other pop record out there at the time. Amazing drummer. He did the famous intro on the Hawaii 5-0 theme. Glen Campbell was a member of the Wrecking Crew, played on BB records, and even took Brian's place on tour in the mid-60s.

I haven’t heard that song in a while. Holy shit, what a masterpiece.

Here's a better clip, wish I'd have linked this one in my op.

So far, Brian is the guy in the dark shirt, the cute one is Dennis, and the drummer is session musician, Hal Blaine.

All of the Beach Boys sang on Good Vibrations.

See Dennis solo @ 1:03-1:09.

Well that sent me down the rabbit hole of BB videos. There’s a two part session recording of God Only Knows, Brian producing and directing the wrecking crew. It explains how really unusual the arrangement was.

The guy singing solo at the microphone is Mike Love, the Wilson’s cousin. He’s still touring today under the BB name but with new musicians.

Brian Wilson tours Pet Sounds with the Wondermints:

Brian Wilson tours SMILE with the Wondermints. I like this album even more than Pet Sounds.

I had no idea how complex and layered this song is.

Oh, dear.

Good Vibrations must have made the Beatles nervous, I'd guess.

It did.

Poor Dennis Wilson, he went the way of Natalie Wood. But all the girls at Hawthorne High had the hots for him.

Dennis Wilson and Christine McVie had a fling for a while. RIP you two.

Sorry, I don't do Elon links.

I linked a better video at R7, R19.

R1 agree. Dennis was hot as motherfuckin' SHIT yo. Pure sex. Huge case of BDF too. I bet he was swingin' some PIPE.

He had the life. All the sex he wanted, with any girl. Living in a mansion on Sunset. All pleasure, very little work. Not too shabby

Ugh! Hated them and all the “bop bop” non music.

Don’t forget about Dennis and the Manson girls.

I hope you found mine, I spent WEEKENDS making them!!!

R21 um— you do know how it ended?

R22 knows only what he learned on VH1

Here's a really good analysis of the song.

Did he do it in an alley? On a boat? Did he do it in jail?

"According to biographer Steven Gaines, Dennis had told friends that he had been raped by "black men", although the details Dennis gave were inconsistent, having variously disputing the year of the incident, while in jail, in an alley, or on his Harmony boat. Gaines wrote, "Obviously, this was a recurring fantasy, and whether or not any of these stories is true remains unknown."

Just watched the Beach Boys documentary on Disney Plus. I've been paying attention to them since the sixties, so there wasn't much I didn't know, but still a nice way to spend a couple of hours with my favorite band.

I believe Dennis was the most physically abused by his father, Brian the most emotionally/mentally abused. Their father Murray was a monster. The extraordinary growth in their music in spite of that is amazing.

Nah R16. The Beatles made Brian nervous.

R1 os right, Dennis was hot. Why does God always kill such hot snatch?! Why?!

Any gay rumors?

i dont even need to watch this shit-

Dennis Wilson is one of he hottest dudes who ever lived.

Denis was the only BB who actually surfed.

DENNIS ^^ 😠

R34 is correct...

A very forelorn /odd singing voice- Pacific Ocean Blue?

I am not THAT old, but finally listened to that album of his..

His death was so haunting and his voice was odd. yet compelling

And my god, he was handsome

With the exception of Dennis, The Beach Boys were a homely band.

If that's what you think the point is, r37, you have a homely mind.

No, Carl was cute even though chubby. Mike Love was ugly inside and out. He was so jealous of the Wilson brothers.

Aww, man. RIP, Brian Wilson.

Great footage, but why would you film the exhaustive recording process? I wonder if this was just a pantomime for publicity purposes?

R41 Maybe Brian wanted to show the process because that was what he was really interested in, not the performance.
