Video: See the recording of the most legendary unreleased album of all time...

<< < (2/2)

Trauma-san:
He's been doing the live shows since February, when he completed the album.  He toured all the first part of the year, and then went into the studio, where this footage is from, to record the studio version of the album.

His voice I guess is an aquired taste.  In the 60's, it was one of the greatest of all time, he sings in a rare 'power' falsetto, most people have no power behind their falsetto voices, but he did... like if you think of the REALLY high parts in songs like "California Girls" and "Good Vibrations"... that's his voice.  By the mid 70's, his voice was a horrible raspy sounding voice, like Old Dirty Bastard or something.. I mean, you wouldn't even think it was the same guy.  In the 80's, he stopped doing drugs, and his voice thinned out to where he sounded like Kermit the Frog... and he's been practicing and trying and trying and trying for years now, and on the studio album, in parts he approaches the smoothness and beauty his voice once had, it's really pretty incredible in parts.  The parts on the video that he sang are some of the roughest vocals on the album... the performance of "Good Vibrations" near the end is a good idea of how his voice sounds now.

At first you think "shit, he sounds horrible" then eventually you start liking it.  I love it now, I think he sounds fucking incredible.  His voice has a lot of soul and passion in it, it's just weathered by the years, and he sounds 5 times better right now than he did 5 years ago.  I wonder how he'll sound next year? LOL

Trauma-san:
He posted this on his message board last night:

"Everybody, I have to split. I want you all to know just how much your support means to me and my family. The lack of it nearly did me in 37 years ago. I am a really sensitive guy. I feel bad when I disappoint, but if I have disappointed anyone on this release that will have to be their problem. I am proud of it, I love the vibe that went in to making it, and there is nothing anyone can do or say to take that away from me. Let's celebrate, rock n roll and love one another. I love you all even if I disappoint you in your expectations of what I am about. I love Smile, I love my family and life is as good as it gets for me. L&M Brian"

L&M stands for Love & Mercy, one of his songs
