wow this was great so many facts and answers i didn't kno dennis drowned before it was said somethng told me because i am a sensitive i was shocked ty..
so pleased brian's found some level of inner peace. for the way he's made us feel at ease, he deserves the same.
I agree.
Perfectly said!
Though he’s been diagnosed with dementia, Brian’s presence in his California home, in the intermittent comfort of his children and grandchildren has been pleasant. I’m so glad!
I'm 70 years old and have had a crush on Brian since the fifth grade. I'm so grateful he is still with us and has finally found happiness. ❤
Thanks for sharing!!
"I wanna know what it's like to be homeless" - Brian never ceases to amuse
It's like this one sentence in a 1982 interview where he's says: "I like food." and Carl laughs his a... off.
I think it really depressing to hear him state that he wanted to be homeless…
@@Blinki18284 Exactly. Another gem was when he's talking about getting back on the road, he says he feels if he doesn't get his butt in gear and get on that stage & do his songs, he should quit the business. Interviewer: "When did you start to feel that? Brian: "Yesterday".
Murry Wilson was a cruel and sadistic father who beat and tormented the brothers regularly as children. How Carl stayed sane (albeit a cruel end by cancer) I'll never know.
I'm one of three brothers myself, my dad was just about the same way with us, he made us do things we didn't want to do but he forced it on us, my dad had a gardening route and every weekend we had to help him as well as every school break, it was work, work and work, and once I got my own job, he resented it and tried every means to get me fired but luckily my supervisors told him off. And then once I got a better stable job, he pretty much left me alone but still harbored a lot of resentment.
Imagine what the brothers might have been like, the life they may have lived, had it not been for the cruelty of Murray!
I believe he fought his demons. He too had his battles with alcohol in the 1970s, but he got rid of them by himself.
@@briansam2524
Thats a toxic father.
Parents shouldnt have full authority over their kods. It shpuld be split between the teachers, doctors, peers, police, and parents.
Most parets either smother, coddle, abuse, or neglect.
@@Blinki18284 What's wrong with cuddles, I'd love to b cuddled to death , myself ! U wouldn't v interested would you, lol !
7/24/2023: Now age 81, Brian must have the strongest constitution in humanity. After abusing LSD, marijuana, tobacco, alcohol, food, sloth, hygiene, & God knows what else, he's survived many of his contemporaries, including his brothers.
Brian is a strict vegan that's why he's still with us just proves NOBODY can break Gods laws of nature and not suffer, i too am a strict vegan since 1985 i'm 73, i guess we all have to learn the hard way!
@@healthyone100Brian is not a vegan, there have been multiple photos in recent years of him eating at steak restaurants
@@healthyone100veganism must have rot your brain. Just stfu and don’t bother people on here.
Brian Wilson is not a vegan.
Lol
In 1976, if you went to Las Vegas and placed a bet that Brian would be the last surviving Wilson brother, you would have eventually made a LOT of money.
unreal, and true
life is kinda nutty that way nutty and not fair
I`ve noticed Alcoholics hardly ever go bald too.
And now he's outlived his wife. I can't even imagine what that's like for him. Hoping his kids can help to keep himself together.
Landy may have started out trying to help Brian but in a short time he was more like a dictator involved in every personal detail of Brian's life including finances, investments--he was a master manipulator. I am convinced he was totally negative, a corrupt bad man. Brian was lucky to survive him.
Murry was a drinker. He kept two glass eyes, a clear one and a bloodshot one. One morning after Murry had been drinking, Denny took the bloodshot eye to school. 😂
LMAOOOO !! love it
Dennis Wilson and Keith Moon's lifestyles were very SIMILAR in lots of ways.
At one time Dennis was a real fitness freak....Moonie never was..
@@patgalvez4563 but Keith Moon was a incredible inventive gifted drummer. Dennis never was 😅
One big similarity is they both lived with unrelenting guilt - Dennis over his relationship with Manson and his decision not to alert the police about his criminal activities; Moon and his guilt over having killed his driver/bodyguard Neil Boland by running him over trying to escape an angry mob leaving a bar in 1970.
Keith never lost his wealth after becoming successful. Dennis had close to nothing when he died. Keith is a legendary drummer that many consider one of the top 2. Dennis isn't even mentioned in best drummers conversations. But..., Dennis was a better singer than Moon.
Not really....
One of my favorite rock legends is when they gave Murray a fake sound board to shut him up. Sad how their lives fell apart, but they made beautiful music that will be around forever. With friends like Charlie Manson.....
Beachboys gave DJ/sycophant Steve Dahl a dead mic, to stop his begging to sing w/them.
Things I never knew about Brian Wilson. He’s only human, just like the rest off us . But he was a brilliant song writer. Been a fan off his for over 50 years. And the BEACHBOYS ❤️& Mercy !
Thanks for watching
Well your so right even Paul McCartney feels the same way. England loved them Beach Boys .
We still do!@@michaelsena7445
I surfed with Dennis at Rosecrans in El Porto Manhattan Beach 1973 !
As Hunter S. Thompson said, "you can turn your back on a person, but you can not turn your back on a drug." So, I can understand the Love/ Dennis Wilson problems. Drugs and Alcohol have ruined many families and friendships.
Tis true
Mike Love has never had any addictions to alcohol or drugs.
@@patriciacarey1741 Yeah, Mike Love is only addicted to his ego.
My very first concert was the Beach Boys. City Park in New Orleans, I was 12 years old. My mom would play their music especially on road trips to the Gulf Coast. It was 1986 Good Times with beach balls bouncing throughout the crowd. Good Vibrations was always my favorite. I can remember they used it for an old Sunkist commercial. Great memories!!
Three steaks for breakfast? I'm done for the day.
Me too
And an entire pack of cigs for dessert for each steak.
My first concert ever was the Beach Boys at the De Anza theater in Riverside CA, in April of 1962. This was 61 years ago, and I was 14.
Cool..
Native of Riverside here just saying Hello. I never knew they had concerts there. I'm a bit younger than you born in 55 at Community Hospital Grew up on the Wood streets
Great video. Very good narration. Dennis was such a tragic alcoholic. Wonder what made him so 😒 unhappy. Too bad he could not get the help rehab therapy ne needed. 😢😢😢
Dennis was cursed with all the looks so he didnt have to try as hard.
Dennis was a wild child from the beginning; it has been theorized he had undiagnosed ADHD. That, and the near constant abuse he suffered at the hands of his father made for a volatile personality. Most likely a genetic predisposition to alcoholism was a factor as well.
I think Dennis’ mental health was tipped into a spiral by his childhood trauma and exacerbated by the constant turmoil and political unrest within the band, add hard drugs and booze and an addictive personality on top of that and it’s not a recipe for a happy and stable outcome, very sadly. Dennis was a magnificent songwriter, at his best every bit the equal of his brothers. Pacific Ocean Blue is a glorious record that deserves more attention.
His association with Manson and his crew really did him in...
Dennis was in a film called Two Lane Blacktop along with James Taylor the movie was good. It came out in 1971
By far the best piece of work I've ever seen on Brian and Dennis
Very kind
Fantastic video! Thanks for posting. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video. I saw the Beach Boys in Rhode Island in 1977. They started playing and were clearly off their game. After two songs they said goodbye and walked off the stage. Lots of pissed people that night.
😂
Great video. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Good stuff, but listening to the same background so loud, for so long is tiresome.
I’ll adjust the volume levels next time. Thanks for watching ❤
Agree. Almost gave up on it due to that but stuck it out. Great content
Actually The Beach Boys put out some fine songs from 1976 to 1980.Their 1976 album 15 Big Ones was a hit,their 1977 album Love You had a cool song Honking Down The Highway and their 1979 album LA Light album is fine.Then of course The Beach Boys in the mid or late 1980's they had another huge hit Kokomo.The Beach Boys also had a big tv special in 1976. The Beach Boys perfomances on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964,1965 and 1966 were outstanding.
I've never figured out how a horrible song like "Kokomo" ever got released.
It was in 1988 of the Kokomo hit by the Beach Boys.
@@sarah2.017 It's a mostly John Phillips and Terry Melcher song with the a few lines of the usual banal Mike Love lyrics - Surfin USA with islands instead of surfing beaches. The movie was a big hit and it pretty much drove the song.
Brian has said one of those mid 70’s albums is his favorite, The Beach Boys Love You maybe? Sorry, I forget which one. I also think their early 70’s albums are all good and under rated.
@@skooter6235 Also, the culture had changed and people were listening to other music and bands by that time. Doesn't mean their music wasn't great, it just wasn't as popular.
I lived a few miles from their childhood home where a plaque now stands. Grew up listening tonthem and attended their 50th Anniversary tour concert. Got to seentheir sound check as well. So glad that David got to be a part of it 😊
Id like to have a place in LA one day.
@@filmretrospective5334 I dreamed of living in LA when I was a teenager in the 1970s-80s but not anymore,alll the American cities are going to Hell now......I eventually went there for a week in 1992 and was very very disappointed and I could see it was already going downhill fast.
Great video. The Beach Boys had me at 409. Lifelong fan, have seen them a few times. Always a great show
Cool!
I saw the Beach Boys in 1974 or 75. Dennis Wilson was more a nuisance than anything else. He did not play the drums. He kept leaving the stage for minutes at a time. Every time he came back on stage he would randomly try harmonizing at different microphones before leaving the stage and going someplace. A total distraction.
But in fairness Dennis Wilson was no fool. There is a early 1970's beachboys concert in New York where he played his song from the Sunflower album. He also made solo album in the late 70's.
Must have been amazing to see them live back then.
Dennis was an excellent songwriter, second in the group only to Brian. Perhaps more importantly, in the early days Dennis was the embodiment of everything the Beach Boys sang. He was the surfer, the car guy. He lived the life.
His solo attempts stunk. @@johndoyle2429
Don’t usually comment on videos but I’ve watched this at least 10 times lol. So informative but also kinda funny? Your deadpan delivery and some of the editing cracked me up. Especially during the parts talking about Murray.
Idk if that was intentional but regardless, amazing video ! Subscribed.
Thank you. Good to hear
Carl, Dennis and Brian are TRUE American rock n roll heroes.
A hero is someone who saves another person's life. Stop degrading and diminishing the meaning of hero!
The Pet Sounds LP..was a masterpiece..as John Lennon, had mentioned..
A sad tale of mental illness by practically all parties.
Great thematic use of the Neil Young’s Revolution Blues intro to discuss the ‘Wilson/Manson’ timeframe
Thank you. I felt it fit well
Unbelievable content! Excellent editing! Keep em rocking! \m/-_-
Greetings from Malibu, Ca.
OO malibu, id love to live there!
Saw The Beach Boys September 21, 1964 in concert with Brian, Dennis, Carl, Mike, and Al onstage wearing red and white striped shirts. Played at the Civic Coliseum in Knoxville, TN. Fabulous performance!
Awesome video never heard any in-depth content before on the drummer & his connections to mason family.
More to come!
oh yah, Dennis is known for that association almost as much as with the boys.
Well done, btw 409 was a V8 engine by Chevrolet, very popular option in their muscle cars including Corvette from 1961 - 1965
409 was never offered as an option in any Corvette.
It was in the super sport impala
Murray whacked Brian on the ear when he was two years old. That's why he's half deaf. As a producer he created Duophone, because he can't hear stereo.
That’s so sad. Poor guys. You never know what someone is goin thru
Good work. I assume you’re a big beach boys fan. You guys really appreciate them in the UK.
Top 10 favorite songs?
Great video! You really did your research!
Glad you liked it!
What a joke that the rest of the band told Brian he was fired from the beach boys. He was the Beach Boys lock stock and barrel.
As Denny said, "Brian IS The Beach Boys. We're just his messengers."
As the video says, it was a ploy to get him to seek help, and it worked.
it was to trick him into agreeing being treated by Landy again, according to Rolling Stone in about 84 quoting Dennis' widow Shawn, Dennis would never have agreed to sign a document 'firing' Brian if he'd known what it was, they either faked his signature or he didn't know what he was signing.
Love your work
Thank you! ❤
Revolution Blues during the part discussing Manson is a great touch.
When the brothers were growing up, whenever Murry got his paycheck, the whole family drove home singing "We're In The Money" and "Happy Days Are Here Again." 😊
It’s crazy how The Beach Boys were considered square & squeaky clean. Other than Alan they all went thru hell. Dennis famously got caught up with the Manson Family & destroyed himself first. Brian’s sensitive constitution & genius got shattered by his abusive father & later drugs. Mike got into LSD & transcendental meditation. Carl struggled with his weight & found himself singing lead as Brian struggled. I saw them several times. Dennis was out of his mind at a 1981 show i witnessed & drunkenly sang an excruciating version of “You Are So Beautiful “… but otherwise they ran through their hits & rocked just fine. It helps that there’s 10,000 fans singing every song too. Brian Johnston was the anchor of sanity tor them!
Excellent. !! Great Video. ✌️
Thanks for watching
They always mention Manson when they talk about The Beach Boys. In reality Manson only had real interaction with Dennis who was more of a drug friend of his. Dennis probably let Manson be around him because it was a flow of young girls.
Thanks for watching
Dennis picked up the Manson girls hitchhiking and set a lot of things in motion😮💨
Dennis introduced Manson to Tex Watson and also was a massive fan of Manson’s music trying hard to get him signed to Brother recording company .Also the song “ Cease to Exist “ by Charles Manson was added to the Beach Boys 20/20 album as “ Never learn not to love you “ and Manson not only didn’t get paid he wasn’t credited .
Also it should be known that Terry Melcher ceased ties with Manson after Manson shot the pimp lotsapoppa.
@johnmiller5679 Dennis and Manson were far closer than history portrays - In fact he was so obsessed with Manson that his publicist had to shut him up .
Everybody has their weaknesses and shortcomings I don't care who they are.
Thanks for watching
Great video! 👏
Glad you enjoyed it
Saw them play a free show at my high school in Massachusetts. Still great till this day!
GREAT use of revolution blues !!! Awesome vid
Probably along with the Eagles the best american bands, the Brits had so many great groups!
Murray the father who really should never have become a father. So abusive. Wonder if he was abused by his father. A person filled with rage and anger. Too bad they did not have child protective services in those days. Lock him up
I think I read that he'd been abused as well.
Dennis made bad choices all by himself. Noone shoved the alcohol down his throat. He did that. And sadly dove off that boat. Dead at 39. Tragic.😢😢😢
Money sure can negatively impact, if not ruin some people.
Thanks for watching
Astonishing that he’s still breathing.

I think you fairly told it right
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Plenty more to come
Eugene Landy was a real FRUIT LOOP as far as I'm concerned.
He was a sadistic and evil man. There’s a special place in hell reserved for him
He saved Brian's life tho
Murry wilson and joe jackson should have been bowling partners
I would rather listen to my toenails grow than listen to a Murray Wilson album.
LOL 😂
Very open minded of you. Considering you know nothing about his music. Did you consider that every one of his children were brilliant singers and song writers? Maybe they got it from him.
@@rman52 🤣
Great video
Thanks! Makes it all worth it
Brian is the man. Keep on rockin!!
What song is that awesome drum beat too??!!
Bustin' Surfboards (1962) - The Tornadoes
I saw the Beach Boys in 1979 sans Brian and Dennis When Dennis died 28 Dec. 1983 in Marina del Rey I was living 2 miles away in Venice.
Thanks for the comment
That's Crazy ... My Favorite Beach Boy ...
🇺🇸
Do don't drugs, kids 😮
Your diction is that of a drug user 😂
If those two would have met each other I think they would have HIT IT OFF really well.
I love that she asked are we keeping you up. Actually it was the coke that did that.
Love you Brian Wilson ❤
Dennis Wilson's and Keith Moon's lifestyles were very much alike in lots of ways.
Lifestyles yes, drumming skills no. Denny was a decent songwriter though, something The Loon was not.
Dennis was way more than a decent song writer. Pacific Ocean Blue was phenomenal. Forever is a great song. He was a very soulful singer. He would have been a superstar solo act if it wasn't for his mental health issues.
Perhaps..however, Moon was a phenomenal drummer..Dennis was not.
Everything is well covered great job except. The Beach Boys original name for the band. "THE PENDELTONS" The brand name of the best flannel shirt ever made.
I've followed them since a teen and now in my seventh decade. I and my wife had been to many concerts.
AT EVERY ONE Mike LOVE was the perfect gentlemen, always interacting and acknowledging those in attendance, even signing off on album covers with a black marker. while performing. That was just his way. Not saying the others ignored the fans they did not. Everybody has a different vibe to them when performing. Mike Love was always KIND to the fans at any concert we attended, I believe he is a KIND SOUL. SO I am inclined to give him some slack. No one really knows what the other guy or gal is going through, meaning all of the stuff and crap, in that industry from say 1961 to the present. SO perhaps he made some people uneasy. SO WHAT. He's paid his dues.
Thanks for watching
Despite the court cases, Mike has always paid tribute to Brian.
Nice to read a positive report about Mike. I've been a fan for 50 years, and I know that Mike Love can be an arrogant a-hole at times, but I've argued for years that the hate against him simply isn't justified. Had it not been for his steadfast professionalism the band likely would have fallen apart after Brian's withdrawal and seclusion.
I could never dislike Mike. In his way he has as many issues as Brian.
@@jakemitchell1671 Ditto I'm sure it's a tough life, despite all of the luxuries. You're life is not your own, unless you withdraw to some string of islands.. Even then i'd wager you'd be walking along the beach picking up a cocunut to enjoy, and some one comes running over to you asking for an autograph..that they intend to sell on line.. LOL LOL. Not for me..
It's funny that in 70s Brian's voice became sounds like Murry, Then in 80s his voice sounds like Ozzy Osbourne 😅
I had a grandfather that died the same day that Dennis died....
They had a crazy a$$ father that made them crazy
Never a huge or even big Beach Boys fan, my musical tastes came from a older teen sister as I grew up in the 70's. She was a big Beatles, Beach Boys, Creedence, Jefferson Airplane type fan, and it would be all leftover 45's and albums that would lead me on. Later, a two year old brother would change those tastes to Zeppelin and Sabbath, or Deep Purple, but you get it. It was the surfing music that I just didn't dig. We were a Chicago family and maybe that was it, but either way I couldn't get Barbara Ann or I get Around type stuff. But when I came across Sloop John B, In My Room, Wouldn't It Be Nice, and most of all Don't worry Baby, God Only Knows ......... Man their ballads were beautiful. It was the Pet Sounds album that i found under my sisters dresser that I fell in love with, probably at 13 years old. For a short time I thought it was part of a double Sgt Peppers album. My sister had stuck pet sounds in with the Beatles work that had likely been done in part due to Pet Sounds. Anyway, I listened to the two albums over and over during that 13th summer of my life. Pet Sounds had been out for a decade by then, but if your are too young to get it, it would be hard to explain how you didn't hears a variety of music in the 70's, LOL, unless you had that deep access. To this day I put them at one and two in my list of greatest albums, but that's just my opinion.
Hey, I fuckin' loved this little retro. I have watched all the stuff out on the turbulent live and careers of the band and the family (The Wilson's and the Manson's) and this was just so well put together and produced. Awesome job, bud. Murry Wilson would have been proud of you. I am now a subscriber.
Oh it's a Mike Love Movie
too right. nothing loveable about mr love as you can see when he tried to capture the beach boys' name for his own tour. al jardine stayed with brian and they had great success
Thanks for watching
Landy kept Brian alive so he could milk him for every penny.
Great video, a lot of this i didnt know about. That Landy guy seems a little too hands on for my liking.
The story of DW, is tragic. he was so talented, but ETOH & Drugs had such a hold on him, he would not---------could not--------stop., & get straight. --------Such a shame. -----MJL, 76 y/o
Was he talented? He seemed mostly along for the ride.
i was never a big fan despite being an L.A. boy myself but this vid was incredibly interesting alot of shit i didn't know.
And of course I knew there was more of that came from! Cool man.
They were all that was good & bad with the California music/drug scene in the 60's . I didn't appreciate them till years later. ✌️ Peace out dude ✌️
Manson knew where they all lived. I wonder if that was why they moved to the Netherlands.
... three years later in 1972, when Manson was in prison? Seriously?
Manson did not know where they all lived. He knew where Brian, Dennis and their mom Audree lived, but beyond that there's no evidence that he knew where the others lived.
i saw them like with Brian Wilson in Calgary in 2013
Top notch. Poor Dennis. Charlie fucked him up real bad.
Murry was a comic genius.
And I thought the Beatles were f**ked up…..Rock-n-Roll…
it's absolutely crazy to think that there's another timeline where manson becomes a famous musician. makes me wonder how many people in the entertainment business have more incommon with manson behind the curtain than we think
I only wish all of the brothers could have been covered.❤
i did another video that covered mike and carl
Dennis was never the same after his association with the Manson family...
I'm sorry but Murray Wilson was NOT a nice man.
Take the 'a' out; it's 'Murry.'
(Don't take the 'eye' out!) 😉
Talking out of the side of his mouth was a symptom of overmedication.
Oh really. Thanks for sharing
It was a side effect of Murry hitting him in the ears when he was a child, violently. Brian went deaf in one ear, and began to favor speaking more on the side of his mouth, a common symptom of someone who is deaf in one ear. Being deaf in one ear is why Brian was not impressed with stereo.
The condition is called Tardive Dyskinesia.
Nice 👍
God damn, the fucking ads these days.
Thanks for watching!
Carl is NOT impressed .
Thanks for watching
Charles was the 6th Beach Boy 😊
And the 5th beatle
No, he was not. And besides, in 1969 there were already six Beach Boys.
I live for the sun was a hit for vanity fair in the uk .1968.
Thanks for watching
Landy saved Brian's life, then almost killed him.
“never learned to hold the drum sticks in the correct manner”?? All rockNroll drummers now hold the sticks like Dennis did.
