Gene Landy was why he was in a drug induced daze. Landy kept Brian sedated and under his control for years. Brian has later confirmed that this was the case.
@@yojimboeastwood5602 Yea, there’s a good interview with Brian in 1976 where you can tell he has all his mental faculties in tact. Brian has stated that he first started taking drugs in 1964. That’s 12 years of hardcore drug use and Brian was still quite lucid. It wasn’t until after the dark days under Landy in late 70s and 80s that Brian became a changed man.
Diet/no smoking/drugs/booze/cocaine/marijuana/ running/eating small portions..what' so unusual about what he accomplished? He never looked better or sounding so coherent. Landy saved his life.....Brian now has ballooned his weight up and sounds very paranoid
@@dantefloressq Oh so you think Brian is looking better and healthier than when he practiced the method from Landy? Guess you want me to believe my lying eyes!LOL
Such a shame that this incredible musician, songwriter, producer and singer had to put up with myKe luHv for so many years. So great to see him free of that waste of humanity.
He thought the sun shone out of Landy's behind at this point in the 80's, Landy this, Landy that. And its not like Brian was young here, he was 46. Scary.
As a Day One Beach Boy/Brian fan, I gotta go against the grain and think that Landy saved his life- but then he got out of hand with the dough. But that solo Brian Wilson album is just stunning, no matter who got paid. Also, has anyone seen Brian this clear very often since those days? He's pushin' 80, had some issues- but the melody/harmony side of his brain seems fully intact.
The Brian Wilson was in fucking bed for three years in a row he wasn’t doing anything before Landy met him so yeah Landy was probably a shyster but he also got him out of bed for whatever that’s worth and I think we all agree that the exercise regimen and getting him off of drugs and getting him motivated again was worth a pretty hefty price. Certainly not what Landy charged, but it was worth something
Landy saved his life but did lasting damage to Brian by over-prescribing and over-dosing a myriad of drugs to Brian for several years. All evidence points to Landy basically trying to kill Brian to inherit his wealth after Brian won a huge settlement over lost royalties in the early 90s. I'm glad Brian's still with us and I hope he's happy, but come on. Landy is probably the single biggest villain in the Beach Boys' saga. This goes way, way beyond someone being greedy. Don't sing Landy's praises.
Brian looks so handsome in this interview. He is trim and not fat. But, his attitude is a bit crazy. His twisted face muscles seems like he had a stroke. Landy is dead now. Brian’s wife has helped him, however, he is fat again.
Brian Wilson made amazing music but the difference was he just like a guy going to Home Depot to buy some DIY equipment and not some prima Donna with a massive ego.
Brian Wilson. The only guy in the world who can ponder his own genius with no sense of ego
Nobody likes to be called a genius. It's embarrassing and makes you feel like SHUT UP!
'it's all up to myself and my collaborator gene landy.' has got to be one of the saddest things i've ever heard.
The brainwashing feel anytime he discusses gene landy is really freaky.
@@MrDogfish83Landy was another Rasputin...but much more expensive..
Brian will always be a genius. God bless him.
Brian Wilson looks much better here in 1988 rather than 1976.
Brian Wilson you are my inspiration
He was so handsome!
God bless Brian Wilson.
Brian Wilson is the Kind of Genius the world needs massive loads of
Good looking Brian in his younger years.
cute as a button
Brian is not just a genius, he's a super-genius. Probably the greatest human that ever lived.
Ok relax
Calm down there, brian is not even close to that but I just might be arguing with a 10 year old.
No, that would be Joey Bidumbbell 🤮

He was lucid after his hippie drug phase, some good footage exists. Landry definitely fried him in the following years

Mike Douglas interview 1976, where he was lucid.
No Brian, you are a genius
This shows that John Cusack was a decent choice to play Brian in his 40s.
No he wasn't.
Cusack was decent but he needed a hairpiece! Brian is over 80 years now and still has better hair than Cusack.
I Have Seen Brian Thirty-Three Yeas Ago
He went from 310 to 175 in five months . Landy must have been giving him appetite suppressing drugs

@@Tunz909 Why are you defending the "work" of an abuser so much.
@@dantefloressq Oh so you think Brian is looking better and healthier than when he practiced the method from Landy? Guess you want me to believe my lying eyes!LOL
Brian was once asked "how did you do it" and he replied "starved".
Where is the fruit of that George Harrison x Brian Wilson collaboration? What?
Landy caused most of the problems in the beach boys which everyone blames on mike ..crazy
In the thumbnail he almost looks like Michael J. Fox.
OMgosh I remember Rapido ! LOL
Brian Wilson is talented a musical genius yet child like and Landy manipulated and wanted Brian Wilson all to himself.
His personality and inflections remind me of Bill Murray’s character from Caddyshack.
Bill Murray got his Caddyshack character Carl after Brian’s way of talking and mannerisms
Great shot of Al Jardine at 1:40

Mike just wanted to stay relevant/keep the money coming. Landy was way more terrible for Brian but yes, it was a two-sided coin.
OSD you old fool, who let you out of the retirement center? :)
The Lovester is a real slimeball. A true piece of garbage!
Stop hating on Mike Love, the heart and soul of the Beach Boys who never stops giving back to their fans.
@@DougParksHe had no heart, and isn't soulful in the least
He's a creep.
Santa Anita race track in the background
Shows you how much Brian was under the influence of Landy at this time
I thought Rapido was going to be a drug.
He thought the sun shone out of Landy's behind at this point in the 80's, Landy this, Landy that. And its not like Brian was young here, he was 46. Scary.
thats what drugs will do.

His wife, Melinda Ledbetter, is an angel. She got him away from Landy when she realized what was going on
So did his brother Carlerlyberger3171

I like food
Here I am rattlin' my head off!
Ericology Creative food!!
i actually think he was cute in the 70s when he was a bear. i think that was also before landy
Possibly Bells Palsy ? My sister in law has a weakness in the right side of her face similar to Brian .
Slight speech impediment brought to you by gene landy
Brian was fine pre 1983.
Can't believe the people saying he looks healthy here... He looks completely drugged up and deluded.
id really like to look drugged up and deluded then!
Beatlelaura Meds. Crazy meds.
Look at him in the 1970s. Much better here all around.
"I'm a genius, too, Brian".
brian wilson or don henley?
Paul Hendricks cocaine
they look alike with short slicked hair
brian wilson

Dr. Landy lives! He flys! He smells. To breath in Dr. Landy’s sweat is to be inspired. Gene Landy is all!
