Cat x5,

I see. I saw youtube of all three of them when they were much older, but Mary didn't seem to have gained

so much weight. Well, people here usually gain weight when they stop performing.


One of the women in Mamas and Papas has been fat since her debut, so if she has lost weight

I might be surprised.

Ed Yamaguchi and others have used the Ventures' Japanese tour as a foundation for their performances with four members, but I first heard the Ventures' ♪ Walk, Don't Run ♪, so the recording also has a four-member sound. However, with the rise of surf music with the Beach Boys and others, I heard that ♪ Pipe Line ♪ by the Chantillys, an Orange County high school band, first became a hit in the U.S. In Japan, the Ventures' version ♪ Pipe Line ♪ was a big hit in Japan.

I first heard this ♪ Pipe Line ♪ on my stereo, and if you listen carefully, you will notice that it was not performed by the four members. It starts with that teke teke, then the bass comes in, then the chord accompaniment comes in right after that, then the drums come in, then the main melody guitar sound. That means there are five members. I felt that this was impossible, but later, when I wanted to release it as a record, I thought "the more powerful the better," so I decided to layer more and more instrumental sounds, so I added a fifth member ・ to decorate the song as well as the number of band members, and then I added a sixth member . In some songs, a sixth person's sound is layered on top of the band members, and sometimes a voice chorus or an electronic organ is also mixed in.

The Ventures "Pipe Line"

Pipe Line was composed by The Chantays,
a group of five high school buddies from Orange County, when they formed, and two of the members co-wrote the song.
The combination was guitar, drums, guitar, bass, and keyboards.

The Ventures have four members and no keyboard player.

Ototto

I wrote about that in #608.

This is also what I wrote before, but in Japan, "Pipeline" by the Chantillys was not a hit at all, and the Ventures' version became a big hit as the record company wanted. It is true that the dynamic and excitement of the song is not there at all in the Chantilly's version. It is true that the dynamic and excitement of the song is not there in the Chantilly's version, but it has its own flavor.

＞ The Ventures had no keyboard player

As I mentioned in #608, unlike the early recordings of the Ventures, from the time of "Pipeline", they were not limited to just guitar and drums to decorate the song. The following "Ghost Riders In The Pipeline" was recorded by the Ventures in the early days of the band. The following song "Ghost Riders In The Sky" includes chorus and strings.
