OH NO NO NO NO
OH NO NO NO NO
hasn't he been that way since Pet Sounds though?

>Wilson is officially diagnosed as a schizoaffective with mild manic depression.[188] He regularly experiences auditory hallucinations that present themselves in the form of disembodied voices.[189][190] According to him, he began having hallucinations in 1965, shortly after starting to use psychedelic drugs.[100][129][191] In 1984, he had been diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic, with doctors finding evidence of brain damage caused by excessive and sustained drug abuse.
stop promoting shrooms and LSD, faggots.
>Whether Wilson truly consents to his semi-regular touring schedule since the 2000s is a subject of debate among fans.[197] In a 1999 A&E biography, Ledbetter stated: "We more or less decided that if he's going to stay in the music business, there's a certain way you stay in the music business, and it's not by making an album every ten years, and just throwing it out." Ginger Blake, a family friend formerly of the Honeys, characterized Wilson as "seemingly is in a fairly good place, but that's not the real Brian Wilson, that's the Brian Wilson who's become complacent and basically surrendered."[198] When asked about negative comments written in Wilson's 2016 autobiography, Mike Love responded: "He’s not in charge of his life, like I am mine. His every move is orchestrated, and a lot of things he's purported to say, there’s not tape of it. But, I don’t like to put undue pressure on him, either, because I know he has a lot of issues."[199][nb 2]
>In 2011, after speaking to some of Wilson's acquaintances, biographer Jon Stebbins speculated that "Working in the studio and especially touring is not really his choice. His handlers, managers, and wife insist that he work. It's all a bit Landy-like when you look behind the curtain." Although Wilson often says that he enjoys touring, Stebbins writes of a "recent interview [where he was asked] what he disliked the most about touring, Brian replied that it was going on stage and performing. ... Upon hearing Brian say that, his 'handler' quickly reminded Brian, through a fake smile, that he loved performing."[197]
That's not how you use the "oh no no" meme you fucking pleb.
he would've gotten it later on anyway and we wouldn't have gotten pet sounds
25 December 2019
confirmed he's transitioning
The problem is, Wilson's always been such a bedwetter about his life. Was there ever a time one person or another wasn't telling him what to do?

Straight-backed on a sofa, a large cushion on his lap, Wilson remains still throughout this recital. He has a pallid, pillowy face that suggests in places the faded strain of some mild cosmetic surgery he had done in the 80s. His eyes are small and close set, the brows slightly angled so that they tentpole over the bridge of his nose. I ask Wilson how he has coped, so far, with such a demanding tour.
He says: “I always got to the stage on time.”
I ask how Wilson’s feelings about "God Only Knows" have changed since he first played it, half a century ago.
“Not much.”
I ask in what ways the songs of Pet Sounds still give him satisfaction, and he says: “I think… musical.”
His sentences tend to tip out on the gasping ends of breaths, as if at some cost. I pitch Wilson a few more questions, but a frustrating system takes shape: he’ll say something tidy or blunt, and when asked to expand will say, “I don’t know” or, “I can’t answer that.” He is subdued, distant in a deep and serious way, so that for decades many admirers who have come face to face with him have walked away feeling dashed, rebuffed even, while at the same time instinctively sympathetic, conscious of some awful interior strife.
After I leave, Wilson eats half a hamburger, watches TV, then takes to bed for the next 17 hours.
do you guys think he called a black guy a nigger?
n chapter one of Wilson's book: “Songs help me with my pain.” Chapter six: “Music happens and the voices stop happening.” Chapter 10: “I knew that I would use the music to keep them [the voices] away.” In the book’s most memorable passage, Wilson describes dragging out the playing of Good Vibrations on stage – four minutes, five minutes, six minutes – because “any minute playing Good Vibrations is a minute I don’t have to feel afraid or tired or haunted”.
After the sound check we head to a high-ceiling reception room where a meet-and-greet between Wilson and his fans has been arranged as part of their VIP package.
They line up along a wall, to be brought forward in turn for an autograph and a picture with Wilson. His handler, sort of with Wilson: sits at a table, redirecting any bolder fans who try to crouch beside him by saying: “Behind.” Just before each camera flash he raises, with obvious effort, a stiff smile.
I start to see that his “OK” doesn’t mean “Yes” or “Go ahead”; it means, “I’m uncomfortable.” A woman in the queue presents Wilson with chocolates and tells him she’s flown all the way from Brazil. “OK,” he replies. An older man in a white linen suit clutches Wilson’s shoulder (“OK”) and then vigorously shakes his hand (“OK”). When a young boy passes over a letter he’s written, Wilson instinctively signs it and hands it back. A publicist steps forward and says: “That’s for you, Brian” and he says: “OK.”
During the afternoon there’s another sound check, but Wilson lasts only a couple of songs before asking his bandmates if he can skip it. He climbs into a service lift with some of the gang to move between the stage and the Pavilion floor. In the elevator, Al Jardine rubs his sore shoulder. Billy Humphreys drags the door closed and works the buttons. Someone tells Wilson he looks just like a Native American chief, tucked away in the corner with his arms folded, but Wilson ignores them and says to Humphreys: “Are we there yet?”
CLASSIC
This is really depressing
Especially juxtaposed with the cherry quirky Smile music
Literally making this guy do signings/tours while he's not there at all, he can hardly muster up more than an "OK" response to anyone
Anyone who is seeing this man live is not acting ethically, the man isn't there at all
>was supposed to see Brian for the 4th time in 3 years in my area
i can see why he got exhausted tbH
youtube.com
This is like a Tim and Eric skit
I saw them live because my friend wanted me to. It was so depressing. I couldn't understand how everyone was so happy watching it. I just wanted to go up on stage and wheel Brian off so he could go home and take a nap.
>psychs make u insane!!! wahhh
nigga he's mentally ill, it would've happened anyway, drugs cannot make you perma psychotic. it brings pre existing issues out
Maybe he's been working on a late career SMiLE.
nah u gon go insane brah
sauce me
Bruh what is up with this dude's brain?
His mental issues won't bother him anymore on Christmas 2019.
F
I'd rather see him go quick then watch him get all demented.
Is he going to be okay Yea Forums?
you’re a retard
double dubs and quads confirm. your time has come to an end grandpa
holy shit
>Paul alive and well still doing tours around the world while lucid and happy.
WILSONFAGS BTFO
happy people suck and are boring faggots
I was going to see him at the show in Dayton, this shit sucks
>double dubs followed by quads
yep, he ded
oh no
Looks like he's been jerking off to Trans porn again
>oh noooooo a boyband member from 90 years ago is dying
Wow, I did not see this coming. I'm shocked
Paul McCartney was clearly a lucid empresario from the beginning, Brian has always seemed kinda dim-witted to me, easy to manipulate, it seems like his genius musicianship outweights every other aspect of his life, he always was a child with the musical brain of beethoven.
Most depressing thread in a while
hell be fine
FUCK
Just make it quick so he doesn’t suffer
YAY we’re going to have medicine to treat his mental illnesses! Brian is saved!
Elon Musk here. Just invented a groundbreaking schizo medicine with my bare hands last night and Im on my way to Brian's house to administer it. Wish me luck.
And that was in 2011, no doubt he’s gotten worse. I saw him in 2016 and it was really painful. I really wish they’d let him retire, it’s so clear he’s not doing this if his own volition anymore.
Kinda surprised he went this long
The fact he survived Dr. Landy and came back to performing is astonishing.
oh god his fucking PC band is killing him. He probably said something normal like Black guy or gay or man and now his "agents" are afraid he'll offend or ruin his legacy on tour...
F
>Ok handsign
based
Based and Lovepilled
Someone redpill me on him - F or S?
I don't know anything about his life
