It just tickles me how much of a fan Paul is of the Beach Boys

[futureyou]

Brian Wilson is a higher level of art then most pop music. His stuff just touches me in deep way. Almost like crying .

[マシュードーラン]

Paul loves Brian so much and it’s so well deserved. Brian is a sweet and humble man who is our modern day Mozart and he doesn’t even realize it. We’re all in awe of Brian and his musical genius

Paul and Brian had a serious, but friendly competition,
from the early '60's. Guess who won?

EVERYONE listening to their MUSIC!

For me, those two bands whose names start with BEA... are hand with hand in musical greatness. They are my top favorites. Wonderful music.

same thing happened to me - had a raging toothache, put on pet sounds, pain dissipates. Some whiskey was also involved.

Paul kind of yells because he has headphones.

Paul: 'it's little vibrations'
Ronnie's Brain: DON'T MAKE A GOOD VIBRATIONS JOKE. DON'T MAKE A GOOD VIBRATIONS JOKE. DON'T MAKE A GOOD VIBRATIONS JOKE. DON'T MAKE A GOOD VIBRATIONS JOKE. DON'T MAKE A GOOD VIBRATIONS JOKE-

It's great when one of the best artist(and song writers) of all times is humbled by another artist. They pushed each other musically back in the day, great for the common people!

Ronnie Wood with Paul McCartney talking about Brian Wilson

[chrisfry]

I love the mutual respect and admiration that Paul and Brian have always had for each other. Two of the greatest, possibly THE greatest, musicians of pop/rock music of the 20th century. Thank you Brian and Paul for the great songs you gave us all to enjoy forever.

[DummyYEEEAAHHHHH]

Ron hit the nail on the head when he looked at Paul and said "you're probably thinking.. Im singing with Brian..and Brian was thinkin.. I'm singing with If u listen to they're interviews when they discuss each other... He was absolutely right.

A legend with another legend talking about a legend! ❤️

[asmodeus]

Good music is one of the things that makes life worth living.

[jamesfair]

I love the conversation because it's 2 famous musicians talking about another. And the great thing was that Paul and Brian were geniuses in their own ways. I loved the George Martin and Brian Wilson video as much as this. Ronnie Wood is a great interviewer.

[hughmanatee]

Ronny is one of the best interviewers of musicians I’ve ever seen. Who knew?

[terryjohinke]

I met Brian in a bar here in Australia and "shouted" him a beer. Very shy, nervous but very nice man.
