My god. It takes a dozen voices to re-create this live. Amazing and unforgettable.
In studio they layer what these guys do live. 16 tracks to 8 to 4 mixed down. Brian and his engineers were probably was using 30 plus recorded voice tracks.
It doesn't matter how many takes and overdubs. What matters is to have the creative mind to come up with those harmonies. Brian Wilson was a Genius @@DigitalMoose
Brian Wilson has given us a treasury of some of the best rock and roll ever written. Let's never forget him. He is a genius among men.
It's incredible to think that someone (Brian Wilson) had all this gorgeous music with it's intricate harmonies and instruments...in his head! What an incredible gift!
It's so awesome. I can't imagine
Brian is and was a modern day Mozart.
Genius
And Al Jardine. He helped write many songs with Brian. Brian came up with most of the music, as Al would help with most of the guitar surf sounds. Carl Wilson also helped write the lyrics with Brian on some songs, and would give musical input. But it was mostly Brian coming up with the weird, and interesting chord progressions, tempo changes, using instruments that have not been used in rock and roll before the BB's, as well as beautifully written lyrics, with Al's help more than anyone else's. But yes, it was 85% mostly Brian "The Musical Genius" Wilson.
There's so few BB tribute bands because the music is too complicated. It doesn't sound complicated, but it is. That's why so few garage bands ever have a BB set. Mr. Herder and company have nailed it.
well also its music from the 60s i know of no bandss that just do 60's music lots of them do 80's music though
@ cobrajetter Yes!! They're incredibly talented!
I'm happy that there's a young group of talented musicians keeping these songs alive for the next generation. They have worked hard to sound original. I love it. ❤️
The Fendertones are superb. By using numbers instead of Brian Wilson's genius studio techniques they can re-create the Beach Buys songs just brilliantly. Tribute bands are sometimes a bit naff but anybody that can re-create the BBs on a stage deserve an award.
Yes, notes, chords, words exact but totally without the originality and personality of the Beach Boys - just like any other copycats "Tribute Band". Awful.
@@johnneal5616You must be fun at parties.
Man I'd love to hear just every beach boys song redone by these guys. Amazing stuff.
The best cover of California Girls.
Amazing!
Best interpretation of Brians music live today.
They really do a great job. Fun to watch and listen to..
Other than Brian’s band
Absolutely incredible - live and almost sounds exactly like the classic Beach Boys song from 1965. So fantastic - one of the very best copies ever
❤👍👍👍
You can't get more American than the Beach Boys music and the Fendertones do it proud!
I've played in and worked with cover bands since the mid-60s - This (performance) if freaking phenomenal... full stop
These guys are just incredible.
I can't believe this was done in 2007... 2021 and just hearing you guys second time and Sloop John B. you guys did such an excellent rendition. Most excellent guys !!
Thank you
They might be Grandfathers- Great group but no longer kids.
And here I am just discovering them in 2023. I feel cheated for missing out on the Fendertones for all of these years. I don’t see anything posted by them recently, so they must have split and moved on. But they are/were spectacular!
That Falsetto is spot on
Brian was really happy about this group and really helped them too along with Bruce Johnston
Rock on! We are a long way from Cali but we love y’all out here in Austin Texas!!
great to see these young folks appreciating this music and keeping it alive........kudos
The best Beach Boys tribute band out there!!!
Mike 201 that says it right there. Covers. I always wanted to get on stage. Along with my faded dungarees, my hipster shirt. I’ve got some friends, like 20-30 of em, that want to do the same. It will be groovy.
close!
They sure are.Again they nai!ed it ..
@@larrysproul9424 I think they should do a Tribute to The Beatles. You guys nailed it once again.
ALL you guys never stop singing the olddes you guys are awesome 🇺🇸👍👍👍
Hey, I can listen to these guys for HOURS. And if you love good harmony singing, don't forget to listen to the Bee Gees. Start with Saturday Night Fever but don't stop there. Their Greatest Hits 2-CD set will take you back in time. I listen to it whenever I have a long drive ahead of me. Talk about great harmony! They're amazing too.
It is great to see young people doing this work. It makes me believe that great music will survive these crazy times of plastic music and prefabricaded "artists" thanks!!!
They needed 12 guys to sound like the BBs because Brian overdubbed all of the vocals on their songs for a fuller sound. The Fendertones use multiple guys for each part to duplicate that vocal overdubbing on the soundtracks.
sorry loser...I've seen them in concert...5 guys only
Wow. I'm blown away by these performances.
I would definitely go see these guys if they toured now. Love them, from Ontario , Canada.
Yep Kansas City would go crazy over these awesome singers n musicians 💥💥💥💥
I saw the Beach Boys at the Fillmore in 1971 and at Winterland in 1973. I'd pay to see these guys live in a heartbeat.
I love the words to this song. Brian described every teenage girl, from every part of the U.S. ❤️
The Fendertones, you do the Beach Boys proud. Thank you for keeping original.
Is there any possibility The Fendertones will perform in concert again. There music is feel good stuff that makes people sing and smile. There isn’t much of that anymore. I would travel anywhere in the world to hear the live.
I love it~!!!! Would like to see them in concert~~!! ♥♥♥
Great performance of Beach Boys music even the Beach Boys themselves would be proud of you work and rendition. .Keep up the good work...
So happy to see young people recreating this music. Flawless. Amazing.
Love this group. What’s amazing is, there’s 14 making the sound of 4.
Places me back in the 60's, during trips to the beach in the Netherlands. The tiki bar played The Beach Boys all day long.
I'm a great BB and Fender tones fan.
I'm a Calfornia girl!
The great Yogi Berra once said, "It ain't over 'til it's over". And I suspect that if you took a poll, you would get a one hundred percent response in favor of the Fendertones persevering. Carry on, gentlemen. Please!
Wonderful to see these young artists having fun as their harmony honors the creators of some great music.
I don't know why or how you came on my UA-cam with a sloop John b.
Instantly listened liked. found this next and immediately subscribed. you guys are fantastic.
Unbelievable!!!! Great cover...perfection.
Who s listening to the best tribute band so close to the original regardless of modern machines and amount of people used still brilliant hats off .
What a huge amount of work must have gone into pulling this off.... and guys you did it so perfectly.... and Anders Fehon you did a great job on the lead vocal.... you can be proud of yourself.
I totally agree with you. :)
They are absolutely great! Even the brass section is perfect!
Some of the best music ever created. The genius of Brian Wilson.
I grew up with the "Boys of summer" but truly enjoy the Fendertones for their tribute sounds. Great sounding songs.
These guys are fantastic!
Just stumbled across these guys - outstanding!
These guys are insanely awesome.
Great to hear. Time flies, I’m 20 years older since this was performed.
Normally people are not usually interested in hearing exact covers of other artists music, however, not the case with the brilliance of The Beach Boys. The biggest compliment to Brian Wilson IS an authentic reproduction of his creations.
Why wasn't this band at The Kennedy Center Honors? Amazing!
Just found these guys. effing incredible!!!
you guys are just stunnin the heck out of me!!!!! Brian Wilson really needs to meet and hear you guys if he hasnt already.I think he would dig you and actually want to play with you guys for real...you do the Beach Boys justice...and you get Brian's genius!!!
I wonder how the managed to recreate Brian's "Wall of Sound" approach for a stage show ... reverb and everything is spot-on.
Awesome
just came across them by accident....brilliant !!!
@James Cowan me three !!
Green Leader me too
Absolutely awesome..got chills!!!!
top class - real class
So much nostalgia... great job!
If I was only listening to this u would swear blind it was the beach boys so good
Not nasally enough to sound like Mike Love.
This 93 year old gent was rockin’ along with the Los Rio’s group and lovin’ it.
Absolutely fantastic ! This was my intro to The Fendertones. ---------------------MJL, 75 y/o
For me as a kid growing up in the 60s, THE quintessential Beach Boys song was California Girls. The imaging of it was tantalizing for a young lad filled with testosterone, but that was only the beginning. The otherworldly harmonies that Brian Wilson created were simply beyond compare. Even Paul McCartney of the Beatles said how much they admired and envied - and felt greatly challenged by - Brian's musical genius. And now, the Fendertones have emulated that 60s sound perfectly. They did not miss a beat... not even the smallest of nuances. This was a blast from the past and a breath of fresh air for me. Thanks!
a magical, mystical intro, it's unbelievable
intro was conceived while on LSD.
how have I never heard of these guys til now? holy hell you guys are amazing!!
Awesome! So good to the a new generation keeping the Beach Boys music alive and well.
I was a professional entertainer for 40 plus years, and a radio presenter as well, here in The UK, after I left The Royal Navy Band, as a multi instrumentalist. I sang lot's of these song's in my stage shows. I recorded over 8 albums, and 3 double albums. I JUST WISH I COULD DO.....ONE MORE SHOW! I am going to be 68 next birthday, IT A'NT GONNA HAPPEN! BUT! I have soooo many GREAT memories, video's of my shows, recorded albums, photo's, recordings of my radio shows.....NIGHT ALL!!!!
Magnificent singing and dazzling flawless performance! If anyone finds my socks please let me know.
I enjoyed these classics back in the day while on the cusp of puberty. What a soundtrack.
I haven't heard the Beach Boys in almost 30 years. You guys are spot on with all these. Great job. Thanks for the memories.
These guys are so good!!
I've watched this 3 -4 times - these guys blow me away. And what a spirited tribute to BW and The BB's. It's like Mozart hits the beach. (and he probably would have had he lived a little longer - like three hundred years)
This band is simply AMAZING!! The sound and rhythm is spot on! Reade McCardell the best of luck with your solo career! You know how much I admire you! The Best.....Dot
This is the 1st time I'm hearing these guys. As a life time fan of the BB's, these guys are great! keep up the good work guys, you rock! Wolfsky9
Beautiful!!!!
Congratulations, guys!
Excellent... loved it!
I came thinking this would be cheesy and they fuckin killed it. Nailed Brian's vision of harmonies
Bravo ! Sounds just like I was back in the 60s.....
Incredible ,awesome ,brilliant!!!!
Fantastic The Fenderstones.
Absolutely amazing, what a great sound from these oh so talented performers, wow, this is so good!
These guys are awesome
I never get tired of watching their videos.
I call it 'The Fendertones magic'. :)
Just amazing talent!
Dayyymmmm that sounds great. The intro, the singing....just everything. I would say that you nailed it!
The lead guy NAILS the SoCal surferbro accent.
Unbelievable.
Wow
One of the best intros to a rock song or any song, only one other better and that's the intro to Wouldn't It Be Nice.
YES!!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Astounding work, brian would be proud.
Great group...ol' Brian Wilson would be proud and maybe even a little envious of them.
Terrific cover song! ...Bravo, Fendertones for keeping the classic Beach Boys alive.
/Lonewolf Liberties
had my doubts. Then I listened. GLAD I did !!!!!
True to the original
...very impressed!
The Legend of The Beach boys...The Fendertones….Truly Worthy in my opinion....Outstanding...
hadnt heard this f'tones version for awhile...such a great celebration of Brian's genius of voice, instrument and free vibes...hey hey wrecking crew!!
Richness of vocals authenticity of instrumental these guys are amazingly like the bbs of 40 yrs ago..take it from an old time who saw them live!
Easily the best Beach Boys appreciation band out there!!!! The detail in their arrangements are uncanny. Brian must know about these guys by now. I'm certain he is blown away! Too bad he couldn't hire these guys as his back-up band!! As much as I appreciate the Wondermints these guys are better. Love them!!!
Fantastic
The sounds of summer in the 2000's. Fabulous as good as the Beach Boys. Brings back some great memories of growing up on the beaches in Sydney during the 60's
Absolutely Awesome!!!! Gave me chills.
Go Ahead The Fendertones....You are all great and a HUGE SHOUT OUT to Reade McCardell....You sweet person You!!!!!
You´re great. Wish I could hear you live.
My favourite BB song. A beautiful rendition thankyou
