I met Al at Jones Beach 2 days ago, and he was such a great guy. He really is down to earth and very nice to the fans (who were mobbing him).
Well this is definitely two people I could’ve never imagined together
Me either and I love them both beach boys are my fav band can’t believer I didn’t know about This
Me as well 😂 I love it and I’m here for it. Artie is the man and I’m such a ravenous beach boys fan, too. Sounds like Artie knew his stuff too which makes for a pleasant conversation between the two!
What a great, easy and pleasant to watch interview. No juvenile BS, an actual interview/conversation on an adult level.
I wish Al would write a book about the Beach boys . I feel he's the only one left to give us a true look behind the scenes
Yes, he remembered things better then Brian and doesn't have the bitterness and ego of Mike and seems very sincere so he's perfect to tell the Beach Boys story.
I can’t believe I never saw this. I absolutely love Artie and Al and The Beach Boys. This is so random but awesome 😂 Artie seems to know his stuff on the band too. Makes for some interesting content.
Al Jardine is the only beach boy alive that hasn’t lost his mind haha. I love Brian Wilson but god damn he’s crazy
HERE'S WHAT AL'S REFERRING TO WHEN HE MENTIONS THE TIME THEY LOST BRIAN:::
"""In June 1978, Wilson - without telling his wife or fellow band members - decided (inexplicably) to escape his life entirely and hitchhike to Mexico. He wound up in San Diego a few days later, according to Steven Gaines’ biography “Heroes And Villains,” which describes a mentally fogged pop star millionaire wandering around the city for days, “barefoot and unwashed.”
“He was on a binge," according to Stephen Love, brother of Beach Boy Mike Love and sometime-band manager (he kept getting fired and rehired). Wilson’s wife since 1965, Marilyn Rovell, referred to the incident in later divorce papers as the beginning of their marriage dissolution, saying “He told me he wanted to know what it feels like to be a bum…[he was] playing for drin'Sks in San Diego bars.” Someone from a local recording studio recognized Wilson and attempted to get him to record a track, apparently unaware that Wilson was at the time basically living under a tree near the entrance of the Laurel Street Bridge in Balboa Park. That’s where he was discovered one afternoon, passed out and nearly comatose. "The cops found him in Balboa Park under a tree with no shoes on, his white pants filthy, obviously a vagrant, with no wallet, no money," according to another Love brother, Stanley. Wilson was taken by ambulance to nearby Alvarado Hospital and a doctor called Mrs. Wilson to inform that her husband was being treated for alcohol poisoning. Wilson's wife had already approved sending a private detective to San Diego to search for her missing husband. She'd done so after a phone call from someone at the local recording studio who called CBS, the Beach Boys’ one-time label, with news of Wilson’s vagrancy. Marilyn, with Stephen and Stanley Love, came to San Diego to take Wilson home but decided to leave him at the hospital a few extra days for treatment. Wilson’s mental and physical health was precarious and the Beach Boys were scheduled to begin sessions for a new album in Florida soon.
Wilson flew to meet rest of the band straight from treatment, to record the group’s debut for Caribou Records at Florida's Criteria Studios. He was quickly supplanted as producer by Bruce Johnston when it became evident that Wilson was incapable-or unwilling- to do the job."""
My favorite al jardine laugh at 14:42
Al is David Spade 20 years later. Spade should play Al in a Beach Boys biopic!
Al is remembering it wrong. Murry sold the rights in '69 when the band was in a rough period, not in '66 before Pet Sounds.
this is a fantastic interview, they did a great job
Great interview. Love the Beachboys
this is a great interview just laid back do like Al jardine.
They wrote a disco song in the '70s called ,"Here Comes The Night". I have the original vinyl EP album. The song was a big hit with the disco crowd but I don't know if anyone told the Beach Boys.
Here Comes The Night was a song on 1967’s Wild Honey Lp which Bruce Johnson remade as a disco record for the 1979 La Light lp
How did Al keep his hair???? Looked like he was going back in 1966!!
The Beach Boys DID record a Manson song. "Cease to Exist"...but was reworded to "Never Learn Not To Love"...which did NOT make Manson happy.
Al was always the most sane and stable member of the group. No negative issues or controversy were ever attached to him.
His "California Saga" contributions to Surfs Up were brilliant.
His songs with ronnie altbach were the late 70s were good too. The problem is every beach boys album after wild honey was produced and engineered in probably the worst way imaginable. I.E. lady Lynda is good but probably the worst imaginable way to produce thay song no wonder they never had a hit all those years.
A great interview with funny spells.
Great interview!!!
Love you Al Jardine you make me 😀😀😀😀
Someday in the future i wanna see AL JARDINE
Al Jardine is really cool
I didn't know Al did the TM thing too. Are there any books or movies about that trip in 1967 when everyone got "turned on" by the Maharishi? Must have been an amazing trip, the Beatles and the Beach Boys hanging out at the ashram in India...
It won't seem so amazing on judgement day. TM is a form of worship to false gods.
i read that Brian Wilson sued to get the rights back in 1989 and they settled out of court. I wonder what the full story there is.
He's still waiting for summer
Charlie showed Dennis a bullet and said, "This is for your son"
$750,000 in 1966 is equivalent to $5.7 million today.
$10 000 is what my mom and dad paid for their first house in '66. That same house is $500 000 now. So in 66 that $750 000 would buy you 75 houses and now that 5.7 million will buy you 12 houses. In 66 you could rent a house to $50 now on southern Vancouver Island you are lucky to rent one for under $2000. That 750 000 is more like $15 Million.
Arte Lang had a show!?..lemme guess,he fucked it up!
Thats not correct on Artie Lange part it was a random thing in fact Charles Manson had been out to terry melcher's house and when he went out there Sharon Tate's photographer Shahrokh Hatami saw him I believe him and Sharon were appalled at the sight of the little dirt bag and who notified him that Terry did not live there anymore,it was not random necessarily he just had a grudge against the people that lived in Benedict Canyon thats why he killed other people there
Yea, um that's all a pile of bullshit. Easily debunked through real research.
Read Jeff Guinn's book "Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson" to learn why the Manson followers broke into Terry Melcher's old house.
By the way, the Beach Boys did record a song written by Charles Manson but Dennis Wilson, who sang it, took the songwriting credit for himself.
the song is barely the same; he took the hook and a few small parts; only lyrically - thus technically it became his own.
Thanks, Ken. The book made it sound as though Dennis stole it, mostly because the Manson bunch had cost him so much - trashing his car, and so on.
"Thus technically" that's not how shit works, either intrinsically or legally.
Jeff Guinn's book is regurgitated bullshit. No one from the "Family" believed Melcher lived there. that's bullshit. Also I doubt you understand that there was actually another resident AFTER Melcher and before Polanski. Tex was there quite frequently for months.
No thanks should be given to someone spewing bullshit. You had it right the first time.
Love Al but wish the two bozo interviewers would shut up, stop interrupting and let Al speak.
manson would've probably been successful in music had he been normal because his songs aren't that bad and the singer/songwriter era was just beginning.
Sorry Artie, you got the whole thing about Manson, Melcher and Cielo Drive completely wrong. It's nonsense you have been fed. smmfh
Bring on Al Jardine and spend over half the time discussing Charles Manson 😂 Fuckin lame
Al Jardine is obviously a great guy.
Literally a match made in heaven Art and Al!! Anyone who sings about ocean awareness is a great human being!!!!
@@claymationwaves commendable, but i like George Carlin’s bit about pollution & animals/earth-beings
