The regular power boosts he got from harvesting Brian's life force are gone and this is what becomes of him.
this is what happens when you sell your soul to satan
>>131808400>the Wilsons died gracefully>the useless guy continues living in mockerybased god
it's over...
The Beach Boys in 2026 is basically Jesse & the Rippers occasionally featuring Mike Love.
>>131808400is he addicted to fent now? whats going on
>>131808922he's 85 years old dude
>>131808400I dont care what anyone says thats cool as shit. Dude is basically a zombie and living the rock and roll lifestyle on stage with John Stamos. That's the fucking way to go out.
>>131808985He should take health advice from Bob Dylan
>>131809059or Paul McCartney, he's also a lot more vital than Mike is
>>131809059Bobby Zimmerman is a jew, so he naturally has access to the best life-extension technology and healthcare in the world.
>>131809059it's not as if Dylan was ever health-conscious either and didn't drink and chain smoke for decades
>>131808599>Dying gracefully Lol
https://youtu.be/DPLbzL9unv4
He's meditating.He was the only one other than George Harrison who believed in that shit after the india trip.
>>131809263is there lore behind this album?p nice cover desu
>>131808400Don't let the loud braggarts win Mikey....
>>131808400Me on the right
>>131808400i fucking love the guitarist trying to bring back Mike to life. Honestly i truly believe that concertgoers there dont care about the band or music and just go to fit in or some shit
also Mike's voice is gone and he can't sing anymore, all that comes out is a faint wheeze
>>131808400they should have stopped when Dennis died but Mike's greed would never permit that
imagine paying to see an 85-year old man in concert
>>131810319Mick Jagger has more charisma at 90 than any zoomer
>>131810332yeah, but that's more because zoomers fucking suck.
>>131810319Welp...
>>131810444Still much less of a corpse than Mike.
>>131810332he's always been chickenshit to get on stage with the beach boys
>>131810234thats john stamos lol
>>131810319You're really just paying to see John Stamos who is only in his early 60s and not even technically retirement age yet.
>>131809059>>131809076>>131809103I've said this before and I will say this again, weed must truly be the secret to longevity because it seems like the most lively old people in music either are or were at one point a stoner. Just look at Willie Nelson for Christ sake. Mike Love is too much of a straight edge boomer though
Medically speaking, most age-related deterioration happens in the last 5 years preceding death. This is called terminal drop. That is to say whatever condition ultimately kills you begins to develop around 5 years before your demise.
>>131808400we all remember the final years of Chuck Berry. it was not nice to see either.
>>131810600I've seen the same shit happen to several of my family members. Getting old fucking sucks bros
>>131810701Why would they do that when the same thing can apply to the current President as well? Why did you even bring up politics to begin with you dumb cocksucker?
>>131810701When did we do that?
>>131810507Jagger wouldn't get onstage with the Beatles or Dylan either because too scared.
>>131810701is this still 2023?
>>131810701thread ruined, go home people
>>131808400Oh lawd is not looking good. Poor Mike, the stage is not for nap time
*mogs every other old musician due to lifelong ingestion of the elixir of life that is weed*
>>131810556stop spreading the ancient secrets
>>131808400He doesn't even hear the music playing anymore
>>131808400he's still got it! what charisma. he should tour with Frankie Valli
Imagine being in a single successful band, and now that one band is what defines your entire identity for the rest of your life. You're now constantly being forced to listen to your own music, look at your own memorabilia, every single day for decades, the music, the same fucking music, always in your ear at every single concert you feel obligated to attend, either out of emotional obligation or financial, for decades, even as you slowly rot away in real time while everyone in the audience cheers you on as their personal dance monkey. Sounds like some twisted, ironic personal Hell.
>>131809076>Paul McCartney, he's also a lot more vitallifelong vegetarian so yeah
You either die a heroes or live long enough to see yourself become the villains
>>131811451I've been in this town so long...
>>131808400>"Hey hey Mike! Remember how younger people can dance and move?! Like this, arms and legs, and standing up right hahaha Good Times! Too bad you almost dead hahahaha! See u later alligator and thanks for the check :))"
>>131808400>When the Percocet hits mid-performance and your start hallucinating being back in the retirement home
>>131808400John Stamos is in great shape for someone in their early 60s. I bet he's thinking >Damn, I'm probably going to outlive this guy
>>131811606mf-er was in diapers when BB were at their peak
>>131809011t. Mike's grandnephew
I saw them 3 years ago in Cincinnati at the Hard Rock Casino. He was in a lot better shape but I knew the writing was on the wall when Bruce Johnston bailed. It’s a bummer because I didn’t have a dog in the Brian vs Mike shit. I just loved the band whatever iteration it was in. At least I got to see the 50th reunion in 2012.
>>131808400Al Jardine WON
still looks more alert and responsive than Mitch McConnell eh
>>131811722>I saw them 3 years ago in Cincinnati at the Hard Rock Casino. He was in a lot better shape butif that anon's comment about terminal drop is true, then you can go from fit and sharp to dying in a pretty short time
>>131811404it's Mike's fault. he wanted to be a corny oldies act and he got his wish.
>>131811772He looks not bad for his age.
>>131810507he was never invited. imagine that faggot minstrel pantomime act intruding on the Beach boy, Beatles or Bob Dylans stage..
>>131808400Holy shit just retire you dumb geezer lmao
>>131812420ITT: people who've never been in a bandperforming with unfamiliar musicians isn't as easy as it looks, he couldn't have the same chemistry with the Beach Boys he has with Keith and would probably butcher the performance.
>>131810665i don't want to die bros. i want to waste away the years of my physical and mental and sexual peak getting fat from extra cheese sausage pizza and 16 tall cans of pilsner every night while listening to live prog rock bootlegs and posting here with the heavy black out curtains covering the windows day and night.
>>131812468no you're wrong. Jaggers a poser Stones is all Keith who can successfully play and has played with other musicians even their sacred blacks. take a look at Jagger sitting in with anyone especially his sacred blacks and it is a fucking joke.and playing with other musicians should be a simple and fun task. if you are a musician... not just a fraud poser propped up by english witchcraft ceremonies like M.Jagger
>>131808599Dennis didn't die gracefully, and Carl died of cancer. He was still a better performer than Mike when he had it though.https://youtu.be/aD41cFE_rJE?si=_sFi-UIlw8YIX-T_
Hell be fine
>>131812636when it's the only life you've known since you were a kid...
>>131810444wayne static & tony bennett hooked up?
Byronposter who ever the fuck he was called has been awfully silent since this dropped
>>131810444Tony was pretty fit and sharp until roughly 2019 and was kinda mentally out of it after that which fits with the idea that you start to close up shop a few years before you die.
>>131810924who’s this nice looking native American girl?
>>131810924this willie lets the ganj bring its blessings as spiritual and physical medicines. saw him play the summer before my dad died. men need to stay active throughout their lives to avoid mike love's couchlock of death.
>>131813131>men need to stay active throughout their lives to avoid mike love's couchlock of deathwhat it means is Mike has been running on autopilot for decades and has never tried to challenge himself, he's been very very content on being a lame boomer oldies act for over 40 years. that's bad and rots out anyone's brain.
>>131813217The Beach Boys never really translated to Gen X like a number of their peers did. The Beatles, Stones, Cream, Doors etc were always cool but they were just those lame dads who appeared on Full House and were seen as a corny oldies slop act. Some of that was Mike's fault for deciding they shouldn't have evolved past 1965.
>>131813268partial credit. there is also a certain type of Gen X hipster who detests the entire 60s except for the Velvet Underground and the first Stooges album.
>>131813268to be fair they were not cool anymore by 1970 when they weren't even 30 yet. that's a bit too bad because some people are convinced their 66-77 output is a lot better than the corny surf rock hits.
sooner or later god will cut you down
>>131810642Thankfully Buddy Guy seems somewhat solid still at 90.
>>131812355He definitely looks like he's 80 but he seems in pretty good health overall. Shit I saw him play with Brian 9 years ago and he seemed super energized for his age
>>131813217here you have Ozzy who fought harder with his Parkinson's, performed his final concert from his throne in an iconic goodbye to the world, and then you look over at Crippled and Feeble Mike Love with John Stamos gyrating ont him. Mike's looking like a Halloween animatronic the roadies forgot to plug in.
85yo is a good run imo, some people don't even get to live to half of it, stupid the show still went through tbf
why have't doctors figured out this aging shit yet?
>>131818457>actually wanting boomers to live forever
>>131818529Yeah I do actually
>>131812421greatest /mu/ thread of all time
