Nick and Brian


I found the part of the movie when Nick gets mad at Brian heart breaking. I know he had his reasons, but Brian was struggling with trying to get his voice back.

From what I understood, Brian didn't want do the song because he know he wasn't gonna be able to perform it live. Singing live is a lot different then when it's recorded so I think Nick was getting tired of Brian always using his voice has an excuse not to do something. Nick going off like he did wasn't fair to Brian or the rest of the group, but in a way I saw where he was coming from.

Once again, yes, it was hard to watch, but it wasn't only Nick, Howie as well spoke up against how Brian was handling the situation and said some more things that weren't put in the movie.
So as much as everybody feels sorry for Brian, and it is a terrible thing to happen to him, he should not have put this on his bandmates as well. Pretending the issue wasn't there didn't make it go away.

Oh I know.... I just watched the documentary a few weeks ago, and that scene between Nick and Brian broke my heart! :( Brian was always my favorite. I think Nick was being really unfair to Brian. I can definitely understand Nick's frustration, but he didn't have to come at Brian in that way. I feel it was kind of harsh. He could have said the exact same words and expressed his feelings about the matter in a much more calm and rational way imo. But Nick's always been the hothead lol....so....


They truly are like brothers lol.. But yea I feel sorry for Brian because I know how it feels to lose your signing voice. :( I don't think the guys should have compared his vocal tension dysphonia to abuse of alcohol and drugs. While Nick could have helped what he put in his body, Brian can't help that his voice gives out on him at random times. He's going through therapy to get healed, but in all honesty sometimes stuff like that just happens! It's not like he can help it! I just felt like the guys (NIck especially) were a little hard on him. He of all people would love for his voice to go back to what it used to be like. I wonder if he's just over-stressed or something? It might be a mental block, or it could just really be a physical problem that he can't help. :-/ EVen with his vocal issues though, I still think he probably sounds much better than most people out here who sing lol.

You can tell there is a history of resentment there...at times each was considered the 'lead' voice of BB.



Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
