mike love on Brian Wilson 1988 (the album)

mike really goes all out in this interview. every moment is something unfathomable.

[jonathanwhitfield]

I actually really love Brian's first solo album.

[liamkeane]

He always knew how to kick a guy when he’s down to put himself up higher. Love and mercy alone are some of the most beautiful lyrics written, his 1981 album was a complete joke compared to Brian’s

[Marco-yshe]

The album is dated to be fair and very Landy influenced. Pretty harsh though Mike. Have you got the lifestyles of the rich and famous featuring Mike?

[rcollosi]

to be fair, he was probably high as hell here. or he had just a bit too much apple juice

[josephharnett]

C'mon Mike it wasn't that bad Love and Mercy came out of that also a few other good tunes not to bad for a first effort considering what was going on with him sounds like Mike's a little jealous

[floydspencer]

the pot calling the kettle black, except that Mike was NEVER able to do better than he did on any of his pathetic attempts at a solo career - he is only semi-successful as the leader of a tribute band

[OverlandOne]

Every one I know loved Brian's first solo album. In recent interviews, Mike seems to wonder why most people think he is a Douche Bag? (If the shoe fits...) It would not surprise me if Mike files yet another lawsuit, this time claiming he wrote all the songs on Brian's first solo album. Let's see Mike write, arrange, record, and actually play instruments on a song even 1/10th as good as Love and Mercy. He can't and he knows that.

[cthewave]

Uh oh. I guess we need a Looking Back With Love biopic. I hear the wambulance.

[jfeast]

Love. Have mercy.
This dude is such a clown.

[mro]

what interview is this? where can i hear the full one

[yaniingham-thomas]

To be honest Mike gave a pretty decent critique. But nooo need for the F bomb sir

[bbwilson]

I don't hate the album. It's got some decent tunes, but yes, I have to agree, his singing was very far beneath his best effort.

[ChrisNeufeldMusic]

I love Brian’s first solo album. Forget what Mike said about it.

[bellsystem_]

had it for years and it got many listens but in the end going to have to go with Mike on this one

[TCBElvisAPresley]

Wow. I knew Mike Love can be a jackass, but I wasn't aware he had this level of Jackassness. Is being a Jackass an Olympic event? If so, we really should enter him to win the Gold Medal in Jackassery for the US.

As for what he said about Brian's album, let's not get all upset. After all, like everyone, Mike is entitled to his wrong opinion.

[sayitwithhellhounds]

agree with eveything mike says here, actually.
