So what’s the labyrinth?
That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

Here's a cool clip of Johnny Depp talking about his work with Brando, and how they even shared a few laughs. I don't think I even realized they'd worked together on those movies...it's interesting to hear Depp's opinion of him.

Nice find, Gina! (Now, were you searching for Marlon or Johnny...? )
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol

Good Vibrations (Great studio footage) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC2gZMNkyJo&feature=related The best song ever, IMO. Wilson recorded 3 hrs of tape to produce a 5 minute track. (The tour footage from 1976 includes Brian's birthday party where Paul McCartney attended.)
Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi are police officers sent to issue a citation to Beach Boy Brian Wilson, for secluding himself in his bedroom and failing to surf.
'Come on, Brian, let's go surfin' now, everybody's learning how, come on and safari with US!'
Didn't realize there were any Beach Boy fans here. I was fortunate enough to see them, not in their Hey Day but about 12 years ago here in CA at the Glen Helen Pavilion. A warm summer night, outside concert, with tons of beach balls being thrown around and the Beach Boys. Very nostalgic and lots of fun.
Just today, driving home from the movies I hear this song that reminded me of my high school pep rallies.

I know, me too! My favorite moment from that movie. (Again, Great Scott, our musical and movie tastes converge!)
And TIS, that's a great clip from the Beach Boys' later years. All of the Boys are in attendance, too. That would have been a few yrs before brother Dennis' death.
And I assure you, they are still as influential as they ever were - perhaps even more so. The band of course went through many variations and lineups in their 40+ years, stemming from the mental illness and social isolation of leader Brian Wilson. I've been posting songs from their earlier yrs but it's their more psychedelic sounds, starting with the album Pet Sounds, that still resonate today with younger musicians.
And did you know, TIS, that their best and most heralded album is one that took almost 40 yrs to complete? Making Brian Wilson's original 1966 Smile album one of the most sought after bootlegs in the world. And really it's Wilson that every Beach Boy fan is forever in pursuit of, trying to find those rare and unseen clips from the 70's where Wilson would emerge from his solitude and appear with the band. He was still very mentally 'unstable' for many yrs, and even today he shields and shadows himself from the band and society in general - always the mystery man, lurking in the shadows.
You can read more at the Beach Boys BB and there's also a rather huge thread ongoing on Capo's board. (I can't find the address for the BB at the moment, but there's a plethora of fan sites as well.)
3:11-4:14 = The greatest 'unrecorded' moment it the history of recorded audio.
From the unfinished (until 2004) Smile album, which Wilson called a "teenage symphony to God," this is the version of the Beach Boys that the world wasn't quite ready for. Going back to his roots on the piano, Wilson was very much inspired by American composer George Gershwin.
It's almost as if Wilson put the album in a time capsule for later generations to be the first to discover. The song would later become the title track on the album Surfs Up (1971). Brian sings alone in the original version, but this 71 version includes brother Carl singing the first half.

Al Jardine does a great job on vocals. Brother Dennis has actually moved to keyboard with Ricky Faatar replacing him on drums, and Blondie Chaplin is next to Mike Love on guitar.

Ok, you know I'm obsessed with a band when even the most obscure tracks consume my consciousness for days, and this is one I've just discovered.
Basically, Brian Wilson's voice in this is the darkest I've ever heard. I would compare him most obviously here to The Animals lead man, Eric Burdon. Yes, House of the Rising Sun, Eric Burdon, perhaps the darkest and most disturbing voice ever heard by the mass in American or English Rock.
I'm not sure who's emulating who here, Brian-Eric or vice versa, but I definitely know this track proves that super-star Brian Wilson was Iggy Pop before Iggy Pop was Iggy Pop.
