and shit i can't forget any album by the streets...but specifically a grand don't come for free, that's brilliant storytelling with soul

i dont listen to music for the plot

all music has plot, have you never heard a bass drop/guitar solo/scream? all music tells a story even if it's one that the listener comes up with themselves.

When I was a kid I would listen to Queen Greatest Hits Vol 1-3 (mainly 1) and I'd pretend each part was a story and that Brian May, due to a horrible accident, could only communicate through guitar solos.

I FIND THIS RECORD RATHER HORRENDOUS AND FRANKLY, EXTREMELY CORNY. FROM THE SIMPLE TIN PAN ALLEY SCHMALTZ OF THE QUEER AS FUCK LYRICS (FAR FROM COMPLEX—GODDAMN HORRID!); TO THE HORRIFIC FAUX-BAROQUE ARRANGEMENTS ITS A TORTUROUS CORNBALL’S HOLIDAY START TO FINISH!

haha beautiful, poor brian, that dang fireplace guitar was all he had to live for

ehhh you're probably onto something, imagine having a bit of talent for music in 66 and not going fuzz and psych and acid, at least those goats are kinda cute

The guy had several mental breakdowns. He's had auditory hallucinations every day since the 60s. The fact that he hasn't blown his brains out is in a way an accomplishment itself.

damn, didn't know that, do they have any heavier songs? what's the trippiest they ever got?

Maybe Fire,

As far as I can tell Brian never really left the band till modern times, but he had less and less to do with them and went back to their more traditional sounds. 

Brian's first breakdown was more of a classic panic attack but it seems to be combined with schizophrenia and rather unwisely he continued doing lots of coke, LSD and smoking weed. He also fell under the spell of a psychopathic Jewish therapist Eugene Landy who was charging him millions of dollars a year and putting him on a strict boot camp style regime, deciding when he was fed and screaming in his face when he wanted more food. To their credit the other Beach Boys tried to get him out of this but there was a lot of legal bullshit going on there and Brian himself developed a sort of Stockholm Syndrome with Landy.

But yeah as far as I can tell Smile fell through because of mental breakdowns and then the other Beach Boys largely took over.

ok i take back asking for trippy, i'm scare now

how is he doing today?

As far as I know he still has problems intermittently during the making of Smile he started hallucinating and had a panic attack. He still says he gets auditory hallucinations and say they get worse when he performs on stage. He's also had paranoid delusions throughout the years.
