Defending TRUTH amidst the LIES!
one man's truth is another man's lies , depending on one's perspective .
Mike Love taking credit for "Good Vibrations" is like the carpenter who installed the frame taking credit for the Mona Lisa....
Mike Love and Bruce Johnston should thank their lucky stars they were in a band with Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson and Al Jardine, the true Beach Boys.
Mike Love was an original member with his cousins the Wilson brothers so was a true Beach Boy too.
Yes indeed! Mike especially seems to think he's the genius behind the Beach Boys and Brian has to put up with that all the time!
Amen
Mike love is an original member you dudley. And he's cousin to Brian Wilson like come on man
I have to smile when I think of the Beatles and the Beach Boys hanging out together.
I still miss Carl & Dennis
I miss BRIAN Carl and Dennis!
As well as Alan and Matt Jardine!
Al, your son has the most sweet
voice I've heard in a LONG time.
You should be proud!
I HATE Mike! (How did he EVER
get that last name?)

If you've only seen Mike Love's version of the group, go see Brian Wilson. He may not do much on stage but his group, the Wondermints, is fabulous. Saw him in Nashville a few years ago...one of the concert highlights of my life.
Mike Love for some strange reason gets lots of hate while Brian Wilson seems to get lots of love.
If you look at some of the biggest Beach Boys hits you will see that Love co-wrote them. Wilson was responsible for Pet Sounds which was the downfall of the Beach Boys.
Wilson was a great musical creator but he gets too much credit while the other Beach Boys are forgotten.
@Sabrina N The Wondermints became his backing band!? A former co-worker of mine was buddies with them in the late 1990s. He gave me a music sampler containing one of their songs, “Global Village Idiot”, which I enjoy much.
Are Al Jardine and his son still playing with Brian?
Mike love is an original part of the group and cousin to Brian Wilson lmao you know nothing about the band
I love Bruce Johnston. Even in 2020 you can tell the he is just happy to be there. No issues with him, he is just a friendly guy that still remains thrilled he could take part in The Beach Boys.
Every time Mike Love tells Beach Boys history, he magically wrote more of the songs. It is well known in Beach Boys lore that Audree Wilson (Brian, Carl and Dennis' mom and Mike's aunt) frequently talked of the vibrations that animals felt from people. Mike used to take credit for just coming up with the "I'm pickin' up good vibrations..." riff, but suddenly here he wrote the whole song on the way to the recording session...
I lived in Hawthorne, CA. home of the Beach Boys from 1958 to 1964. Still love their music!! For 9th grade I went to Hawthorne High School where the Beach Boys went.
Beach Boys without Brian Wilson is a joke.
Hey Mike how about spending a little more time discussing the genius behind the music. Are you still trying to compete with the greatness of Brian?!
I understand the sentiment but it's not true. Same could be said of Dennis and Carl. However, I have seen them without those 3 many times since the 90's and with Brian for their last tour together and every time, the shows were phenomenal. Just like all the shows I've seen with maca minus the other fabs. Besides is Brian ever not there ? Its his music they are performing. PS, great interview by our great American, the Huck. Peace and Love.
Not quite a joke, but certainly more like a fairgrounds sideshow. God bless Brian.
I was fortunate enough to see the full lineup of the Beach Boys with all the original members many years ago. They played a long show with so many great songs. With all due respect to Mike Love and Bruce Johnston, this touring band they have (no Brian, no Carl, no Dennis, no Al,) ain't no Beach Boys.
Minus All the Wilson's and Al Jardine, they're NOT the Beach Boys. Just two guys that backed the Beach Boys.
This isn't the Beach Boys. No Brian, no Carl, no Dennis..no Beach Boys!!
The year 2235 - The Beach Boys - July 4th. Holograms will be performing from 10pm to 2am. Original live recordings from 1977.

Damn I was hoping to see the Beach Boys
What a disgrace! The Beach Boys is Brian WIlson! He is the Lennon-McCartney of The Beach Boys, any music fans will know this. Only little mention of Brian WIlson?

To call Good Vibrations Mike Love's song makes me vomit
Unbelievable and disgusting
Well Mike Love wrote all the lyrics that makes it at least half his song doesn’t it
.
Dean Harvey he wrote one line dude, so NO
@@pancakelegend7826 Brian came up with "I'm picking up good vibrations" because of something his mother told him when he was young. The rest was written by Mike.
@@pancakelegend7826 As much as I agree that GV is Brians baby, Mike is responsible for the entire set of lyrics on it. Written on the way to the studio, as he explains in the video. Now, that does not equal to 6 months of tinkering in the studio? No, but it is certainly not a worthless effort and it deserves to have a mention. And they are really good lyrics. "Wouldn't It Be Nice" is a different story. There he gets credit for one line, which adds no momentum to the song.
The man may have his flaws but he also has his talent. Just like the rest of the guys.
Love the Beach Boys...
Timeless music forever.
Mike Love hated Pet Sounds, he wanted Brian to stick to the “formula”...he actively discouraged him from working on Smile. Now he’s just trading on the good name of The Beach Boys.
The Beach Boys were able to capture the feeling of summer surf and fun in their songs , nobody has ever come close to them in that regard , their legends and icons in the world of music , truly wonderful , and their still touring , simply amazing .
I still love and play the Beach Boys great happy music.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
I decided to see Brian Wilson and Al Jardine last fall! What an incredible concert and Brian Wilson is such a genius!!
It really pisses me off to see Mike talking like the masterpiece which WERE impossible without Brian were his.
After the author mentioned what he had in mind when writing "I write the songs", I searched for it on the Internet to remind myself of the words of this song and whether this man realized it I do believe that God inspired him. I was so blessed this morning to listen to that song with a new perspective. Thank you for this tidbit that just made my day.
The Beach Boys were my cousin's favorite band. The Beatles are mine.
catnc1 Between the two of you, you’ve got the best of the best.
God bless the beach boys
This video made me smile. I grew up in the 80’s and Kokomo was a favorite of my 9 year old ears. There music has brought so many people joy. Most big fans of them are generally good people. Thanks Mike, Bruce and Mike for great segment! 29 Beach Boys concerts in my 40 years. Only member I never saw was Dennis. I even got to see Glen Campbell come on stage in the early 2000’s and play with Mike and Bruce. If I’m down, I put their music on.
This video made me throw up in my mouth a little.
They didn't, not in the same league, The Beatles were miles ahead of The Beach Boys. Mind you, I love The Beach Boys.
Ditto.
When Brian was healthy and at the height of his creativity The Beach Boys were certainly the Beatles' equal. Unfortunately, that did not happen often at all. The overbearing browbeating and douchiness of Brian's cousin (along with mental illness and drug consumption) was a big reason why.
The Beatles were miles ahead of everybody. The Beach Boys was Brian Wilson, from what I've read the rest of the band were sometimes replaced by session men.
Mike Love....don't believe a word he says. Always has to take credit for whatever is good.
That was a great interview it was nice to get an update on how the beach boys are doing. The song Good Vibration gave me a word on how I felt when I was listening to rock and roll.
Love the Beach Boys, but without a Wilson brother there are no Beach Boys. Just Mike and a cover band.
I think the same.
My wife is a beatles fan and all i can say is...the beach boys don't have video games...itunes...sirrius satellite...album reissues etc.
I have no dog in the fight but i dont think the beach boys are on that level
I love the Beach Boys …… I was at their 50th reunion at Provo, Utah several years ago …….FANTASTIC ALL NIGHT !
Great! Thanks for tuning in!
Hard to believe these two are in their late 70s and still rockin'.
Great interview - thanks.
"I've been around forever. I wrote the very first song!"
How beautiful! Had no idea it was "interview with G-d."
Powerful!
I'd always heard it was "music" talking....."I've been around forever, and I wrote the very first song," etc. Either way, an awareness of a muse of a sort, etc! Also, check out Bruce Johnston's "Disney Girls" song....covered by many. Beautiful!
Good Vibrations was mostly Brian Wilson's masterpiece.
Mike Love would claim co-songwriting credit on anything he happened to hear someone working on. "Brian was working on a song, and I said "hey, that's really good""
Gee, ya think??
Yeah I kinda cringed when he was saying that
Pet Sounds did inspire Pepper, but don't forget it was Rubber Soul that inspired Pet Sounds. If we're picking greatest band it's the Beatles beyond a doubt. Not even an argument. The Beatles had the jump on everybody.
Thank you Mike and Bruce for keeping the Beach Boys franchise alive and well for nearly 60 years. Your musical inspiration is beyond measurable. There is not a single day at my house that a beach boy song isn't played. I write the songs is a wonderful piece but "Disney girls" has to be one of the finest works from Bruce with "Tears in the morning" following close second. Mike your lyrics are incredible and too many to mention. Thank you both!
As you give well-deserved mad props to the Beach Boys, never forget to include Brian Wilson in your celebration! Without Brian's compositions, Mike has nothing to add lyrics to, and Bruce has no band to join to bring him out of the studio as a producer (as he was starting out)! Long live Brian!
My least favorite Beach Boys- Mike Love
Beach Boys. Awesome. Thrilled to hear the meaning behind. 'I write the songs' . Reminds me of Job 38-39.
I grew up listening to these guys all through the '60s and early '70s and saw them in concert twice!!
Beatles will always be the greatest band of all time. Usual arrogant Mike Love full of hate.
Bruce is cool tho.
Mike Huckabee is great and all, but the Beach Boys were never any "competition" to the Beatles. The Rolling Stones weren't, either.
Mike love is the only original member and was never the driving force behind the beach boys.this is not the beach boys...bruce johnston is a great songwriter and wrote one of my favorite songs on surfs up.
Which one? Surf's Up? Till I Die?? Feel Flows?? Long Promised Road?? Easily the four best songs on the album, but I don't think Bruce wrote any of them.
Interesting interview! 🎶🎵🎶🎵 Love The Beach Boys upbeat music ☺️
Great interview!
Be still my heart. I grew up in California during the 60's...and these guys made my heart go pitter patter.
its amazing what you can learn when you watch the huck!!!!
oh god.. mike love... come off it... He was always trying to come off trying to say they had a little something on the Beatles. PLEASE! Mike, you wouldn't be good enough to carry the Beatles guitars. Not even in the same league. Brian Wilson was at least musically talented and a decent song writer. But the overall musicianship of the two bands are not even in the same Ballpark. What instruments did Mike play. Sax??? How many hit songs did he write completely?? Music and Lyrics???? How many records did Dennis actually play on???? Try to be humble Mike. You were lucky to be a cousin.
I personally remember both groups and have seen both in concert. You can't really compare the 2, as their music was so different. Both were great talents but had different music. You don't need to make this a competition.
Beatles was most overrated band in history. Get out of here
The Beatles accomplished more in 7 years than the Beach Boys have in nearly 60. And the Beatles' cover of "Rock and Roll Music" was miles better than the Beach Boys' cover. In this interview it's mentioned that PET SOUNDS inspired SGT PEPPER...but nobody reminded them that RUBBER SOUL first influenced PET SOUNDS!
@@MeanMrMayo Mainly because, Paul has more famously said "Pet Sounds" influenced "Sgt. Pepper."
SUCK it, LITTLE patrick 😃😆
International battle of the century THE BEATLES V. THE FOUR SEASONS. V.J. records 1964!!!!!! Beach Boys are awesome. But NO ONE holds a candle to FRANKIE VALLI!!!! HE is STILL performing with a reformed four seasons ALL over the WORLD!!!! The Beach Boys also recorded a record with THE FOUR SEASONS, EAST MEETS WEST. 1984.
We saw the Beach Boys in a park in 2006 and were totally awesome. Saw them again a couple of years ago. The song content has changed but still a great show.
A few years ago I saw The Beach Boys live at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. I returned home to Northern Minnesota and saw the Beach Boys again live in Northern Minnesota. I happened to have a VIP pass for the Northern Minnesota show and was able to chat with members of the band....they sure laughed at me seeing them two weekends in a row....different parts of the country. Then saw them again a 3rd time here in Bemidji,Mn a year or so later. They sure are a class act!!!
Even Gino Vannelli listened and loved the Beach Boys. And he's an incredibly talented writer, singer, producer. He said Beach Boys influenced him.
Mike Love is looking well for 78 years of age!
well you say that. but how bad do you have to look to look bad for 78?
Yeah..but he's still a dick.
As John Lennon sang " he blew his mind out in a car" Brian did that listening to Strawberry Fields Forever
BEST HARMONIZING OF ANY GROUP IN HISTORY
I always considered The Beach Boys 'All Summer Long' as the first concept album or the first rock and roll album to follow a consistent theme.
Hawthorne California !!! Lot of history for me !!!
Brian Wilson is the only true Beach Boy. Wrote all the songs. Brian is the only one who actually played on their records. Glen Campbell did much of their guitar work. Google "Wrecking Crew".
Nice that the Beach Boys are conservatives.
The Beatles and the Beach Boys are my two favorite bands. The Beatles were definitely in competition with the Beach Boys. Check out the Beatles Anthology. The harmonies for "Paperback Writer" were influenced by the Beach Boys. The Beatles "Sgt. Pepper" was heavily influenced by the Beach Boys "Pet Sounds."
Was introduced to the BB in 73.....their songs are on my IPOD today!
At one time there were THREE bands touring as the Beach Boys
This was great! I love the Beach Boys! I got to see them in concert in the early-mid 90s on City Island in Harrisburg, PA, my hometown. It was wonderful!
Wow, that certainly was awesome!!
No one could compete with The Beatles , not even the Stones , cmon the beach boys ???? Really ????
WOW!! Bruce thank you for sharing the background off I Write the Songs. You should substitute one of the "I make the young girls cry" to 'I make the old men cry,' because you sure choked me up listening to it again, just a minute ago.
One of the best interviews. Now, I’m sure I’ve said that before, and will again.
These guys are not The Beach Boys most people have heard. Brian Wilson is the guy who made them tick. These chumps were passengers and now legally own the name. Without Brian, tbese guys would be selling insurance or used cars. Wow, Bruce managed to wear a pair of pants. The Beatles loved what BRIAN did. It's a cryin shame the least talented members are touring under his name. Bruce is a bonafide flake, just listen to this interview. Ever listen to Mike's solo records? I didn't think so........
Love them!! Last time I saw them was July 4th in Washington DC in the late 80's!! Long time ago!!
This is fast becoming my favorite show. Reminds me somewhat of the old Mike Douglas show.
The one that's close to the beatles level is brian Wilson and hes missing,they've not close to the fab
Wow the Beach Boys. They're older but still have it.
Saw these guys in 2019. Still rocking!
Love the Boys and Mr Huckabee 💜🇺🇸
I love Brian and the BB's, my all-time favorite group and person. However, the competition was more in the minds of Brian and the Boys than the Beatles. The BB's were very successful from 1963-1966 but the Beatles far outsold them and had many more number ones. I think the Four Seasons may have sold more records during this period than the BB's. Creatively Brian was right there with the Beatles but not in record sales or # ones. Mike just can't seem to let the BB's/Beatles thing go or the India story.
Yes THE FOUR SEASONS!!!
Mike love doesn’t represent this beach boys talent... Brian forever
Good interview Mr Huckabee.
If God writes all the songs is he going to take the blame for Rap music?
The Beatle flooded the market with good and great songs. Nobody has don't that ever. Beach Boys very, very good. not the Fav 4
My God, this was terrific!
The Beach Boys were the first rock music group i heard. They are an American Treasure.
Love it!
I know Mike has a huge ego and treated Brian poorly, but he did lead the band when they needed it and was crucial to their success.
Legends!
Damn
i love Bruce haha 🥺
Washington DC 1981 🌴💙🌴
Ah come on now people Beatles are the greatest act of all time beach boys not even in the same universe
i love you bruce and mike! god bless you!
greetings and love from israel :)
Great interview. Thank you Governor.
LOVE YA' MIKE. Even though you're show is for Old Timers, I never miss a show. I guess I'm an old Soul. Keep up the amazing work. You ALWAYS have great Guests. :) Stay BLESSED on Purpose. May Jesus continue to Bless you. TRUMP 2020
Praise Jesus too.
Miss Milly
Do you REALLY think JESUS would tolerate Trump’s mendacity? As got GOD? The clown said he has NEVER asked GOD for forgiveness. You need to get on your knees and ask GOD to forgive YOU now!
i bought mike's book when it came out...good read , recommended for all beach boys fans . btw , listen to " the nearest faraway place " from the beach boys 2020 album , written , arranged and produced by bruce...stunning .
WOW Mike! This program is the best in existence!! Seriously. I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting and having our photograph taken with them on their 50th tour. I’m 70 years old and still listen to all their hits-especially Pet Sounds (God Only Knows and Caroline-o my favorites). When in my early twenties I played in a group with a guy named John Foster, who later played with The Beach Boys for a year and a half. Bruce auditioned him. You are great Mike.
Ed Lee: It's Caroline No.
Love you guys!!!!! ♥️
MAGNIFICENT !!
I love these guys!
Disappointed in you Huck for promoting this shyster who fired the real talent of the original Beach Boys just to make it look like he was the band himself.
Great show .

The Beach Boys - Still America's band.
Glen Campbell at that time was with the Wrecking Crew as a session musician.
Bruce was and always will be a hired hand. Brian and Al are the beach boys
