Brian is criticized for not letting his own band members play the music. But he was influenced by Phil Specter and knew it could be better and much, much better it was.
Ironically, Glen replaced him for 6 months when he just took a time out one year.
Kudos to Brian for making it as great as it could be.
Enter guys like Lukather.
The obvious one was Talk To Ya Later by The Tubes, ain’t no way anyone on The Tubes could play that solo.
Anything by Bon Jovi and anything like them qualify as well. People dunked on the Monkees. SMH.
Sure Gonna Miss Her (Gary Lewis and the Playboys) lead licks were Tommy Tedesco. Gary Lewis said there was no way any of his guys could play that.
The backing tracks for the Association songs were Wrecking Crew.
