Before I joined The Beach Boys, I was working at Columbia Records as a producer, and saw The Byrds come in and do their first overdub before Terry even met them.

Brian came back in on the road and Al stayed, but Al's the original member of the group.
Bruce Johnston

But, you know again, getting back to what a group like ours might represent - the cleanliness thing.
Bruce Johnston

Carl, Dennis and Brian are brothers, and Mike Love's a cousin.

Everybody can dig The Beatles, but why should everybody dig us?
Bruce Johnston

For us... you know, we're not The Beatles.
Bruce Johnston

I mean it shouldn't hang you up emotionally if your record fails.
Bruce Johnston

I never could get into The Chambers Brothers. They make good records, but I never could get behind it.
Bruce Johnston

I really dig The Byrds. I think they are the most underrated - in their original form - pop group.
Bruce Johnston

I really dig the scene that's happening now, I really do, because there might be a lot of bad things going on, but if out of all of those bad things ten per cent of the groovy part of it stays, wow... you can't beat that.
Bruce Johnston

I've been with the group since 1965. I will be beginning my fifth year on April ninth this year.
Bruce Johnston

Of course The Beach Boys will be camp.
Bruce Johnston

Records... a record just shouldn't be that important.
Bruce Johnston

Sometimes one of us might be missing because we might be away or something, but there's always four or five.
Bruce Johnston

The group started getting bigger and bigger, so Al started replacing Brian on the road, and then finally there was a big flare-up with Dave Marks and he left the group.
Bruce Johnston

We are a business, and you do a little of what you think's right, pay your bills, and attract... a single record attracts attention to your concerts and your albums.
Bruce Johnston

We try some really interesting things besides being outright commercial.
Bruce Johnston

We're just kinda surviving at a very comfortable level.
Bruce Johnston

We're not trying to top ourselves with each record, obviously.
Bruce Johnston

We've recorded over our voices once and double the harmonies, make them thick. The Four Freshmen do that.
