Creative tension makes great art...
The Beach Boys...Brian's descent into mental illness and dope, and Mike Love's descent into being a dope...
EDIT: Brian was the driving force for their greatness, but also the reason for their decline, IMO...

Brian Jones is complicated in this regard. He was essential to their image and sound early on. All of the cool instrumentation on their 1966- 67 has a lot to do with Brian's playing.
But from Beggar's on he was a huge drag. I believe he had a bad hand injury in '66 or '67 that hampered his playing. And drugs. -
Brian was a major dick. I can see why they kicked him out and didn’t care he died.YellowSnow said:Brian Jones is complicated in this regard. He was essential to their image and sound early on. All of the cool instrumentation on their 1966- 67 has a lot to do with Brian's playing.

Brian had become arguably a greater pop music genius that Lennon and McCartney by the time Good Vibrations was released in Oct 1966.Fishpo31 said:Creative tension makes great art...

But he wasn't mentally strong enough to do it all on his own. -

Came here to post this. Brian had a talented band full of singers who harmonized very well and were pretty good musicians, yet wrote a bunch of experimental crap.
Not sure what Brian's problem with Mike was, but the other members seemed to have no problem continuing to tour and make music with him, so I feel a lot of that is on Brian, too, even though I know there were other personal conflicts with Mike aside from that later on in the late 70s. -
IIRC, Anita Pallenberg injured Brian’s hand with her face…YellowSnow said:Brian Jones is complicated in this regard. He was essential to their image and sound early on. All of the cool instrumentation on their 1966- 67 has a lot to do with Brian's playing.

It was (is) Mike’s problem with Brian, regarding royalties…”Change a word, get a third”…Fenderbender123 said:Fishpo31 said:Creative tension makes great art...
