56. For their 50th Anniversary Brian, Al Jardine and original Guitarist David Marks returned
Tue Jan 17, 2017, 08:22 PM
Jan 2017

They made the best album they've done in 40 years. The only dog on the album was Love's tune, and Love fired them once the tour was over. Fuck him.
So now Brian and Al are touring with Blondie Champlin and probably doing a better Beach Boys show than Love is...
Watch Love's acceptance speech at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame to see how much of a monumental asshole he is.
