I spent some time with Brian in NYC and London. Sooo many years ago. This has affected me so much it has brought the tears to my eyes. Still love you, Brian. And yes, NO JONES NO STONES! 🎶🎸
I knew him, too, Cissy. I was 14 when I last saw him. He lived around the corner from me with a local girl, in Windsor, called Linda Lawrence. She ended up raising one of Brian’s children with Donovan, in Eire. Linda’s younger brother was a pal of mine called Stuart. Of course, I did not know him well but I did meet him on one or two occasions. I last saw him waving at me in a phone box on St Leonard’s Road in Windsor. He was living at 98 St Leonard’s Road, Windsor, Berkshire, which was almost directly opposite where he was using the telephone box. I looked at him and he just waved back asi turned into Queen’s Road as I lived at no 53 back then and was walking home. I never saw him again but on the very few occasions when I was fortunate enough to meet him, he was very warm and cordial. He seemed like a very genuine young man, to me and I will always remember him as that. I certainly see him as nothing less that one of the most important contributors to the 1960s cultural revolution in Britain, which was to lead the world. He was a magnificent talent that is still underestimated but even The Beatles held him in the very highest esteem, as did Hendrix, Morrison and Dylan amongst others, and rightly so. Brian Jones is the skeleton in The Rolling Stones cupboard and he always will be. I still maintain that their treatment of him was absolutely appalling and still is. Not one of his children ever received a dime from The Stones to this very day, a fact which turns my stomach. One of them had to purchase a ticket to go and see the band his father created as they wouldn’t even let him into their stadium gig without paying for it. Sure, Brian was dealing with a few issues when he was almost certainly either murdered, which is the most likely scenario, of killed by accident. Tom Keylock, a bodyguard and chauffeur working for Alan Klein, claimed he witnessed Frank Thorogood directly confess having killed Brian on his deathbed but as the police have stated, that, “Evidence,” if you can call it that, benefits one man only, by getting him off the hook from further speculation and that man was Tom Keylock who may very well have been ver much implicated in Brian being actually murdered. We will never know now but there is a mountain of evidence that does indeed point to the likelihood of foul play.
@@michaelwakeford2336Very good comments . You were lucky to have met someone, who, as you describe it, was part of the CULTURAL REVOLUTION. That's what it was, nothing more, like people expected, but nothing less, certainly!
I was 20 in 1969 and going out with my future hubby, this was and always has been my band, I remember this news so well, as he was only 27 when he died, nothing comes close to the sixties in my opinion, but I so love the Stones from the first time I saw and heard them right up to this day.
Huge Rolling Stones fan. I've always wanted to go to Brian's grave and to the Cotswolds. Some day. Thank you so much for doing this. What a beautiful cemetery.
Very soon 55 years that Brian Jones has passed away!!! But he is still with us forever! Thank Paul once again for this video! Before i pass i would like to go in this cemetery to pay my respects to Brian Jones! Denis from France...
Thank you for visiting his grave, Paul. I recently watched the Brian Jones documentary on Netflix, such a sad ending to a talented musician..R.I.P Brian
Mr.Brian Jones thüe First Stone...youre sadly missed 😢😢😢such a multitalented musician...forever in my heart.R.I.P.( 2 thousand lightyears from home)😢😢 😢😢😢😢😢😢❤😘💙💯🙏
I have an old rolling stones album so 😎. Loved the rolling stones. Loved Brian my favourite in the band. Especially when he played for the blues. Xxxxxxxxxx ❤️
I have been to Cheltenham, as a tourist among other things but I was told that Brian Jones used to live there. RIP original founder of the fabulous Rolling Stones
Even as a Beatles fan, you can't ignore that The Stones were one of the most influential bands ever. It was a tragedy that Brian passed at such a young age. RIP Brian Jones.
As sad as his ending was, the greater loss was never hearing what his new band and music would have sounded like. I think Brian excelled when he was choosing the creative direction. A very early quote from Keith was, "Brian could have joined any band he wanted in London, but he wanted to start his own band. The Rolling Stones was Brian's baby."
Thank you for visiting the grave of Brian Jones & insight into the life of founder of the Rolling Stones. The last big hit he featured on was UK No 1 'Jumping Jackflash' in June 1968. Brian Jones R.I.P.
As an 18 year old, I remember hearing that Brian had died whilst sitting on the pub wall of my local with all my mates, hard to think it was 54 years ago when Brian passed, a great talent sadly passed and deprived us all of his music and talent, also the catalyst of the stones
You came to Cheltenham Paul! You could of come round for coffee! Brian used to stay with us 60+ years ago before my mum and dad divorced. I can still visualise him sat in our front room. We then moved to the estate next to the cemetery and dad was allowed to see us 3 girls for an hour a week! So the hour was spent walking round the cemetery! Think that's where my love of cemeteries comes from.
❤❤Thank you so much for showing the grave of Brian Jones. At such a young age. Very tragic the way he died. May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this sad time ❤❤
I was on holiday in Mexico and was really lucky to go to the hard rock cafe on cozumel. On the wall was a letter to some fans from Brian. The writing was very young in tone and felt very care free. It was sobering to read and realise how old he was when he passed.
I went to the same school as Brian Jones: he was a couple of years younger than me and had a reputation as a solid musician as a kid. He was also popular among the girls. To me Jones was The Rolling Stones. It is cruel that he was taken so young.
Love the Stones. My brother went to see them at Anfield Stadium recently here in Liverpool. Said they were still quality. Can't You Hear Me Knocking is unreal. Brian Jones was an original member and passed in such tragic circumstances. The Rolling Stones are timeless. RIP Brian Jones 🙏All the best Paul from Liverpool ✌👌.

Well said Paul without Brian Jones there wouldn't be rolling stones. A lot pf people think jagger is the leader amd he wasn't back then. My dad is a massive stones fan and was even more so I'm the 60s, he has all of their singles and LP's from back then.
It was Oldham who wanted Jagger as the leader, with Keith as his sidekick. There was no longer any place for Brian. I have tons of photos on my PC and one in particular shows Jagger and Oldham bearing down on Brian in a recording studio. Not a friendly pic.
Thanks for helping us remember Brian, what a legacy he has left. The Stones have alway's been my favourite group it's wonderful they are still going strong, but sad Brian could not be with them. I met him with the other's in 1965, a star struck teenager working for the American Teenage Magazine "Date Book" and interviewed them in the ABC Regal in Edinburgh. Still and alway's will be a massive fan. Keep going strong boys.
Another member of the 27 club! So many unfulfilled lives of talented people. Thanks for taking me along to see Brian's grave. My dad loves the Stones, so their music has bled into my life too.
He was my favorite, loved to watch him, very good looking, had his own style, terrific musician, people said he could pick up and play any instrument, quite talented! I miss him, rest him peace Brian, I miss you! love to you, wendy
I didn’t discover the Stones until I was a teenager decades after Brian’s death and I have been a Stones aficionado ever since. What an immensely talented musician he was. A great tragedy to die so young. His ability to play a variety of instruments gave the Stones music a great variety of styles. Thanks for paying your respects to Brian and uploading
Big thanks for the Brian Jones tribute this evening Paul, big Stones fan I remember the day he died like yesterday I have two nephews born 28th February so I never miss his anniversary. Regret not visiting Cheltenham the numerous times I've been at their shows over the years, the headstones engraving needs touching up since that iconic photo of his girlfriend Pat Andrews kneeling in prayer all those years ago. Singer Donovan is married to another of his girlfriends since the late 60's, big hit with the girls was Brian R.I.P🙏🇮🇪☘️
that was so nice ,albeit emotional, I am Brian Jones fan always have been always will be. I listen regularly to the rolling stones records ,and pick out Brian on sitar or slide etc ..What a great loss this talented musician was ,and taken so young ❤❤
Brian Jones what a telented man he was he could play lots of different instruments and the Stones was his band he got them together died way to young looking forward to this one thanks Paul
Exceptional job Paul! I began playing guitar because of Brian making it look so cool & fun! Saw the Rolling Stones on the Ed Sullivan show, I'm so glad as the guitar has helped me through life's ups and downs...thank you Brian, RIP...
Nice one.I've been there several times,in fact,i bought the plastic box you can see,the other one fell apart.I nipped down the road to Sainsbury's to buy it.Stones forever👍🎸
I’m reading his bio (Paul Trynka's) for the 2nd time! An AMAZING read about a truly great artist who’s contributions have often been erased from history (by you know who). I have often thought about visiting his grave but it feels like it would be a very heavy experience. It’s one thing to listen to the records but actually standing in front of his grave would make it so much more real, not sure I could handle that. Regardless, may this great visionary Rest In Peace for all eternity.
Nice video thank you. I was actually born the day Brian Jones died and have always felt a great affinity with him. Also, I've been a massive Rolling Stones fan since I was a teenager and am a songwriter who plays guitar. A few wks ago, I finally made the pilgrimage to Cheltenham to visit Brian's childhood home in Eldorado Rd. It's fascinating to see and very easily accessible from the train station (a 5 min walk). Afterwards, I tried to visit his memorial statue in the Beechwood Shopping Arcade but was unable to locate it due to the building being completely re-designed/renovated. If anyone knows where the statue is currently located, I'd be most grateful if you could let me know. Also, I think it's important to underline the fact that we are all human beings, with flaws, frailities and imperfections and should be judged in that light. Although Brian was no angel, I have great empathy for his plight and for the torment and pain he endured, particularly during the last few yrs of his short life ❤
Thanks paul how sad he left us so young he was a very talented intelligent musician if not for him there wud have not been the stones brian was the stones bless him rip brian fly high another great vedio 👍🙌👍👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌
Great band with a fantastic history . I remember when they started in 1962 i thought what a strange name for a rock band ! I bought all their singles as they were issued in the 60's . Sad Brian died young , life can be short and life-style can be a deciding factor on mortality , thanks again Paul for a great presentation .
Brilliant video, lots of my husbands family are laid to rest there, you also walked past the resting place of my Father in Law who passed away in 1960 in a motorcycle accident, so I never knew him. I also worked in the cemetery office there for a while and loved it. Each time we go there we drive past Brian Jones grave.
I discovered Brian Jones after reading an excerpt from Up and Down With The Rolling Stones by Tony Sanchez. Been a fan ever since. I was totally a Beatles fan at the time. Became a Stones fan because of Brian.
@@grimmertwin2148 Not all of it but it was a fun read. A lot of what Sanchez wrote was true. I know he was noting more than Brian and Keith’s drug dealer and made himself out to be more.
Aw fantastic!! As I commented, dad and I travelled to Cheltenham to pay our respects to the Golden Stone. I love him, such a talented musician yet sadly troubled with bipolar disorder and self medication with drugs and alcohol. He needed a lot of help but sadly was murdered before he could learn to fly high again. RIP Christopher Robin 🌟
@@mendip44 Agreed, so much rumour, conjecture. Did Mick and Keith go to the cottage, to ask Brian to continue with the name 'Rolling Stones'? Did Keith pull a knife on Brian, when Brian said no? Why is it that Pond water was found in Brian's lungs, instead of the Pool's water? Absolute mystery
Tragically taken so young. A multi talented musician who actually played saxaphone on a Beatles track. Everyone seems to remember the names of the famous Stones, but not many remember the co-founder Ian Stewart who sadly passed away in 1986.
@Geoff Poole Ian was a member before Jagger, Richards etc. have a look their history. Loog Oldham got rid of him as he didn't fit in having a square chin.
Brian Jones was the real genius in the group.. Everything that sounds modern and "avant-garde" in the Rolling Stones records, was Brian Jones touch. Simple as that. After Brian Jones left... The Stones made Great Rock Music but not awe any more 🌟🌟🌟
My friend Bruce Becker of Fondulac, WI, whose house is a shrine to the Stones pilgrimaged to this cemetery years ago to pay homage to Brian. Bruce has been to over 50 concerts. I have been to four concerts with Bruce. Bruce's dwelling is covered with big promotional wall posters with other types of memorabilia all over the place. We love watching concerts with Bruce at his dwelling. You have the Stones watching you in the bathroom. Bruce shook hands with Mick and Bill.
About 3 decades ago, I was reading a couple of books about Brain and the group and when lying down for a brief nap, Brian paid me a short visit and told me that he had been murdered. Of course, mental experiences like that are often not based in anything real, but it did make me wonder just because it was so very clear and so seemingly real. The books in question were, "Up and Down with the Rolling Stones" and "Golden Stone: the untold life and tragic death of Brian Jones." Up and Down was written by Tony Sanchez and I found it to be very well written and informative. March 20, 2023 [The first day of SPRING has arrived!!!🌤🌈🎊💦💫💥💟💖💝‼🙂👍🐦☘]
Hi Paul - I was brought up in the 60s unusually in Singapore where dad was based in Changi RAF base and I was at the RAF school provided. My school mates and me were crazy Beatles and Stones fans but starved of the music which were exported in those days by ship hence 6 weeks delay from radio. We were incredibly excited when Stones arranged a far eastern tour which a one night concert in Singapore. Unfortunately all sold out - School mates and I decided spur of moment to visit their hotel to see if we could get a glimpse. Eventually we were able to jump the rear wall of the Hilton in Orchard Road and ended up in the swimming pool area. We blended in due to the huge press throng that had erupted. We manage to get in close proximity to some of the Stones members including Brian who was complete with swimming costume. We managed to say a few words but it was interrupted by a lady press reporter who was smoking and ended up accidently burning him on hi shoulder, At this point due to his remonstrations we were all kicked out together with press. However years later on hearing of Brian's demise I always remembered our brief meeting in Singapore.
Live love and leave a legacy Brian Jones 💯 percent definitely done that his contribution to the Rolling Stones is priceless thank god almighty you can’t kill spirit that lives on forever thank you Brian Jones ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A multi-talented instrumentalist who founded the legendary band rolling Stones who introduced Jimi Hendrix to the world at Monterey and played percussion on All along the watchtower with him who played with the Beatles his only drawback was drugs that made him unreliable great video .
Hi Paul, Thank you. My memories of the Stones music in late 60's as appealing to the more rebellious youth of the time. At 71 yrs there's still that rebelliousness when you hear Brian playing in the early recordings with the stone's. We can only imagine how much more great music we could have enjoyed, R.I.P Great posts
One could argue that the Stones were equally influencial as the Beatles. I love the Rolling Stones. Very simplistic lead/bass riffs with Mick Jagger's vocals made them extremely rememberable with its hooks. I can't see The Rolling Stones continue forever with Charlie Watts passing away not so long ago. Who would of thought Charlie would die before Richards and Woods? RIP Brian, your music continues in my music collection.
I loved Brian.My favourite Stone.I loved the Beatles but I also loved the Stones.The best Music in my opinion was in the 60s and the 70s.Thank you for another great Video.
For me, he's one of the great unsung talents of British music, because without Jones, there would've been no Stones. It's a shame his colleagues let him go because he was a vital band member. RIP Brian, you're still dearly missed ❤ xxxx
Brilliant! Grew up with the rolling stones, although I was a bit more a beatles fan, the stones and especially brian, we're to me completely different, but they really did grow on me. Rip Brian, and thanks for opening my mine to more music.
Such a simple headstone for someone so talented & influential Lovely to see his memory is being kept alive by loyal fans Thanks Paul for another fantastic video I’m still amazed how you carry on with the commentary whilst filming “A Rolling Stone gathers no Moss” RIP Brian Jones 🙏🏻
He was the equivalent of George in another massive band!! Massive Beatles fan here, but nothing but respect for Brian Jones. I will pay my respects in person one day
Brian Jones had spent the year of 1968 in our village in Morocco , he was presented by the American writer Paul Bowles to Hadj Abdeslam Attar ,the master of our village and player of the pipe of pan .. he made a track .. later the Rolling stones returned to the village in the eighties to make ""Continental Drift " in homage to Brian Jones.
I follow the Rolling Stones but so sad he passed away so young. I’m an Elvis Presley fan. Have been for nearly 50years. I really enjoy you taking us to all the beautiful cemeteries in the UK. I’m from Australia so thanks again Paul.
Another great video Paul... I've lived here in Cheltenham all my life and known of his grave here for many years, as my uncle is a big fan of The Rolling Stones and I've visited family members who have sadly passed away many times over the years and also visited Brians grave a few times over the years to pay my respects with my children..... If you're thinking of coming this week I'd avoid it this week as Cheltenham races is on all this week 14th/17th March and it brings the town to a standstill, otherwise Cheltenham is a great place to visit and you're right the cementary is huge but very well kept. All the best Paul. 👍
Love the protracted walk through the grave yard .Really creates an atmosphere.On a side note poor Brian is the only 23 year old I ever saw with bags under his eyes.Who knows what goes on inside
Hard to believe he left us over 50 years ago and sadly part of the ill fated 27 club. Great music and thanks for founding one of the best bands in the world. Great video Paul.
When Frank Thorogood got into the fight that killed Brian two of Frank’s builders where a witness to this incident: Maurice Tucker and John Betsworth from Eastergate (Chichester)
My nan and grandad are buried in Cheltenham so we often put flowers on Brian Jones grave
Thank you for that..wish I could be there to do that also...💔😭💐🥀
❤
Good on you baby!!
That's class and respect ❤️
That is so cool....I would love to see Brian's grave and put flowers on it...!!!😮😮😮
Thank you for doing that. I don’t think I’d ever make it there as much as I’d want to. ❤
A great tribute to the man who created one of the world's greatest bands. Without Jones, there would be no Rolling Stones. Thank you Brian ❤ 😊
My Uncle was Lord Mayor of Cheltenham England. Was always happy Cousin Brian was interred there.
I spent some time with Brian in NYC and London. Sooo many years ago. This has affected me so much it has brought the tears to my eyes. Still love you, Brian. And yes, NO JONES NO STONES! 🎶🎸
Oh my God, Cissy. Lucky you !That's so amazing. :)
I knew him, too, Cissy.
I was 14 when I last saw him. He lived around the corner from me with a local girl, in Windsor, called Linda Lawrence. She ended up raising one of Brian’s children with Donovan, in Eire.

I never saw him again but on the very few occasions when I was fortunate enough to meet him, he was very warm and cordial.

Not one of his children ever received a dime from The Stones to this very day, a fact which turns my stomach.

Right on, he was The Rolling Stones until Jagger went “commercial”. It’s early time was it’s best.
What was the reaction of you and your friends?
27 is no age for such a talented multi instrument guitarist like he was May he rest in peace 😢

Currently reading ‘Stone Alone’
Bill Wyman’s autobiography.
Bill’s recollections of Brian reveals how integral he was to the band’s foundations.
I was on holiday in Mexico and was really lucky to go to the hard rock cafe on cozumel. On the wall was a letter to some fans from Brian. The writing was very young in tone and felt very care free. It was sobering to read and realise how old he was when he passed.
It's lovely to remember such a talented musician who like others died too young.🌹
I went to the same school as Brian Jones: he was a couple of years younger than me and had a reputation as a solid musician as a kid. He was also popular among the girls.
To me Jones was The Rolling Stones. It is cruel that he was taken so young.
Love the Stones.
My brother went to see them at Anfield Stadium recently here in Liverpool. Said they were still quality.

that was so nice ,albeit emotional, I am Brian Jones fan always have been always will be. I listen regularly to the rolling stones records ,and pick out Brian on sitar or slide etc ..What a great loss this talented musician was ,and taken so young ❤❤
Well done. Thanks so much. RIP Brian Jones.
Brian Jones what a telented man he was he could play lots of different instruments and the Stones was his band he got them together died way to young looking forward to this one thanks Paul
Exceptional job Paul! I began playing guitar because of Brian making it look so cool & fun! Saw the Rolling Stones on the Ed Sullivan show, I'm so glad as the guitar has helped me through life's ups and downs...thank you Brian, RIP...
Gee I'm surprised I would have thought he have a bigger head stone. Being such a star. They should give him a bigger head stone
He has several facebook fan groups , and im lucky to be friends with ppl who grew up with him and knew him personally ,
Thank you for showing Brian's grave
YesHe started the stones he was the lead man to start with. I remember his Death like it was yesterday. So sad he missed all the years he did. 🙏🕯️
Brilliant viewing for a Sunday night. Love Brian and the music of The Stones...looking forward to this Paul 👍👍
Thanks Paul Lovely tribute to absolute Legend gone way too soon.Always loved the Stones 👍
Nice one.I've been there several times,in fact,i bought the plastic box you can see,the other one fell apart.I nipped down the road to Sainsbury's to buy it.Stones forever👍🎸
Nice one 🙏
👍
I’m reading his bio (Paul Trynka's) for the 2nd time! An AMAZING read about a truly great artist who’s contributions have often been erased from history (by you know who). I have often thought about visiting his grave but it feels like it would be a very heavy experience. It’s one thing to listen to the records but actually standing in front of his grave would make it so much more real, not sure I could handle that. Regardless, may this great visionary Rest In Peace for all eternity.
Nice video thank you. I was actually born the day Brian Jones died and have always felt a great affinity with him. Also, I've been a massive Rolling Stones fan since I was a teenager and am a songwriter who plays guitar. A few wks ago, I finally made the pilgrimage to Cheltenham to visit Brian's childhood home in Eldorado Rd. It's fascinating to see and very easily accessible from the train station (a 5 min walk). Afterwards, I tried to visit his memorial statue in the Beechwood Shopping Arcade but was unable to locate it due to the building being completely re-designed/renovated. If anyone knows where the statue is currently located, I'd be most grateful if you could let me know. Also, I think it's important to underline the fact that we are all human beings, with flaws, frailities and imperfections and should be judged in that light. Although Brian was no angel, I have great empathy for his plight and for the torment and pain he endured, particularly during the last few yrs of his short life ❤
Thankyou Paul for making us all realise that we’re only here for a short time.
I look forward to seeing your informative and very professional contents.👍
Brian was a musical genius, it is too bad he passed away so young!
Thanks paul how sad he left us so young he was a very talented intelligent musician if not for him there wud have not been the stones brian was the stones bless him rip brian fly high another great vedio 👍🙌👍👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌
Great band with a fantastic history . I remember when they started in 1962 i thought what a strange name for a rock band ! I bought all their singles as they were issued in the 60's . Sad Brian died young , life can be short and life-style can be a deciding factor on mortality , thanks again Paul for a great presentation .
Very well done Paul. Brilliant as always ..always been a Stone's fan.Thankyou Paul 👍👍
I agree with you. Without Brian, there wouldn't have been a Rolling Stones. RIP Brian.
Thank for this. Interesting walking tour of the grounds and the details of Brian Jones's life. Canadian fan of the Stones since '66.
Brilliant video, lots of my husbands family are laid to rest there, you also walked past the resting place of my Father in Law who passed away in 1960 in a motorcycle accident, so I never knew him. I also worked in the cemetery office there for a while and loved it. Each time we go there we drive past Brian Jones grave.
Ahh thanks for your message Janet
My Dad, was a Vicar, the thing with leaving Churches open is things unfortunately go missing. Thanks for the great videos I love grave yards.
Você é de Cheltheham cidade rica em flores, aliás,uma cidade recheada de florestas
I discovered Brian Jones after reading an excerpt from Up and Down With The Rolling Stones by Tony Sanchez. Been a fan ever since. I was totally a Beatles fan at the time. Became a Stones fan because of Brian.
George Harrison and Brian Jones were good friends. :)
You know that book is totally discredited 😮
@@grimmertwin2148 Not all of it but it was a fun read. A lot of what Sanchez wrote was true. I know he was noting more than Brian and Keith’s drug dealer and made himself out to be more.
Aw fantastic!! As I commented, dad and I travelled to Cheltenham to pay our respects to the Golden Stone. I love him, such a talented musician yet sadly troubled with bipolar disorder and self medication with drugs and alcohol. He needed a lot of help but sadly was murdered before he could learn to fly high again. RIP Christopher Robin 🌟
Didn’t know he was murdered. Who by?
@@matthewmedley8532 Probably Frank Thorogood, a builder, who was working on Brian's cottage, in a dispute about money
@@ThinWhiteDuke2007 interesting. Thanks for the reply.
@@matthewmedley8532 It is actually a bit deeper than that and the deeper you go the more intriguing it gets, and not in a nice way.
@@mendip44 Agreed, so much rumour, conjecture. Did Mick and Keith go to the cottage, to ask Brian to continue with the name 'Rolling Stones'? Did Keith pull a knife on Brian, when Brian said no? Why is it that Pond water was found in Brian's lungs, instead of the Pool's water? Absolute mystery
Tragically taken so young. A multi talented musician who actually played saxaphone on a Beatles track. Everyone seems to remember the names of the famous Stones, but not many remember the co-founder Ian Stewart who sadly passed away in 1986.
Was Ian Stewart a full member of the band? He played piano at most of their concerts and on their albums. He played at the s***show that was Altamont.
@Geoff Poole Ian was a member before Jagger, Richards etc. have a look their history. Loog Oldham got rid of him as he didn't fit in having a square chin.
Plenty of people remember Stu. He was an integral part of the band.
@@geoffpoole483 If it wasn't for Ian Stewart from Scotland, there would be no rolling stones, mate. He brought in Charlie Watts.
lewis brian hopkins jones..... brilian n genius.... bisa memainkan segala jenis alat musik.....
Brian Jones was the real genius in the group.. Everything that sounds modern and "avant-garde" in the Rolling Stones records, was Brian Jones touch. Simple as that. After Brian Jones left... The Stones made Great Rock Music but not awe any more 🌟🌟🌟
My friend Bruce Becker of Fondulac, WI, whose house is a shrine to the Stones pilgrimaged to this cemetery years ago to pay homage to Brian. Bruce has been to over 50 concerts. I have been to four concerts with Bruce. Bruce's dwelling is covered with big promotional wall posters with other types of memorabilia all over the place. We love watching concerts with Bruce at his dwelling. You have the Stones watching you in the bathroom. Bruce shook hands with Mick and Bill.
About 3 decades ago, I was reading a couple of books about Brain and the group and when lying down for a brief nap, Brian paid me a short visit and told me that he had been murdered. Of course, mental experiences like that are often not based in anything real, but it did make me wonder just because it was so very clear and so seemingly real. The books in question were, "Up and Down with the Rolling Stones" and "Golden Stone: the untold life and tragic death of Brian Jones." Up and Down was written by Tony Sanchez and I found it to be very well written and informative.

Hi Paul - I was brought up in the 60s unusually in Singapore where dad was based in Changi RAF base and I was at the RAF school provided. My school mates and me were crazy Beatles and Stones fans but starved of the music which were exported in those days by ship hence 6 weeks delay from radio. We were incredibly excited when Stones arranged a far eastern tour which a one night concert in Singapore. Unfortunately all sold out - School mates and I decided spur of moment to visit their hotel to see if we could get a glimpse. Eventually we were able to jump the rear wall of the Hilton in Orchard Road and ended up in the swimming pool area. We blended in due to the huge press throng that had erupted. We manage to get in close proximity to some of the Stones members including Brian who was complete with swimming costume. We managed to say a few words but it was interrupted by a lady press reporter who was smoking and ended up accidently burning him on hi shoulder, At this point due to his remonstrations we were all kicked out together with press. However years later on hearing of Brian's demise I always remembered our brief meeting in Singapore.
Cheers John, always great to hear stories
Live love and leave a legacy Brian Jones 💯 percent definitely done that his contribution to the Rolling Stones is priceless thank god almighty you can’t kill spirit that lives on forever thank you Brian Jones ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A multi-talented instrumentalist who founded the legendary band rolling Stones who introduced Jimi Hendrix to the world at Monterey and played percussion on All along the watchtower with him who played with the Beatles his only drawback was drugs that made him unreliable great video
.
Hi Paul,
Thank you.
My memories of the Stones music in late 60's as appealing to the more rebellious youth of the time. At 71 yrs there's still that rebelliousness when you hear Brian playing in the early recordings with the stone's.
We can only imagine how much more great music we could have enjoyed, R.I.P
Great posts
Yet again a great informative video. You are a fabulous man, Paul. Another member of the “27 Club”. So sad to die so young.
Another great video! The house that Brian Jones sadly died in was previously owned by A A Milne who wrote Winnie The Pooh
One could argue that the Stones were equally influencial as the Beatles. I love the Rolling Stones. Very simplistic lead/bass riffs with Mick Jagger's vocals made them extremely rememberable with its hooks. I can't see The Rolling Stones continue forever with Charlie Watts passing away not so long ago. Who would of thought Charlie would die before Richards and Woods? RIP Brian, your music continues in my music collection.
Beatles 🤣 give me a break, lol.
I loved Brian.My favourite Stone.I loved the Beatles but I also loved the Stones.The best Music in my opinion was in the 60s and the 70s.Thank you for another great Video.
For me, he's one of the great unsung talents of British music, because without Jones, there would've been no Stones. It's a shame his colleagues let him go because he was a vital band member. RIP Brian, you're still dearly missed ❤ xxxx
Thanks Paul, I remember when it was reported that he died. So sad may he RIP.
Thanks for your brilliant and interesting video about Brian. The influence of the old time blues musicians on R&B was immense. The music of my life.
Brilliant! Grew up with the rolling stones, although I was a bit more a beatles fan, the stones and especially brian, we're to me completely different, but they really did grow on me. Rip Brian, and thanks for opening my mine to more music.
He was so talented I was so sad when he died R.I.P Brian
Such a simple headstone for someone so talented & influential
Lovely to see his memory is being kept alive by loyal fans
Thanks Paul for another fantastic video
I’m still amazed how you carry on with the commentary whilst filming
“A Rolling Stone gathers no Moss”
RIP Brian Jones 🙏🏻
It is simple, but i have never passed it without seeing flowers there, i have passed it at least half a dozen times a year for 54 years.
Brilliant Paul....always been a big Stones fan. Loved this one ❤👍
He was the equivalent of George in another massive band!! Massive Beatles fan here, but nothing but respect for Brian Jones. I will pay my respects in person one day
great one
Brian Jones had spent the year of 1968 in our village in Morocco , he was presented by the American writer Paul Bowles to Hadj Abdeslam Attar ,the master of our village and player of the pipe of pan .. he made a track .. later the Rolling stones returned to the village in the eighties to make ""Continental Drift " in homage to Brian Jones.
I've been jojouka stayed with Anita pallenburg in 2008
I think you have done a fabulous job with Brian's tribute. I love music so learning about Brian's life has been enjoyable. Thanks again
Cotchford farm was previously owned by AA Milne, it’s 5 mins drive from my house
I follow the Rolling Stones but so sad he passed away so young. I’m an Elvis Presley fan. Have been for nearly 50years. I really enjoy you taking us to all the beautiful cemeteries in the UK. I’m from Australia so thanks again Paul.
The stones still going today sad about Brian Jones so young to die under strange circumstances another great video Paul thank you
Yes strange circumstances should be reinvestigated, and exhumed
VERY VERY STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES. SAD.
Another great video Paul... I've lived here in Cheltenham all my life and known of his grave here for many years, as my uncle is a big fan of The Rolling Stones and I've visited family members who have sadly passed away many times over the years and also visited Brians grave a few times over the years to pay my respects with my children..... If you're thinking of coming this week I'd avoid it this week as Cheltenham races is on all this week 14th/17th March and it brings the town to a standstill, otherwise Cheltenham is a great place to visit and you're right the cementary is huge but very well kept. All the best Paul. 👍
Yep, most of my family are buried there, a very tranquil place, at 69 i guess i'll be there within a few years or so.
Grazie mille Paul per questo video su Brian Jones un talento musicale morto troppo presto ,un saluto dall Italia 👍
Love the protracted walk through the grave yard .Really creates an atmosphere.On a side note poor Brian is the only 23 year old I ever saw with bags under his eyes.Who knows what goes on inside
Hard to believe he left us over 50 years ago and sadly part of the ill fated 27 club. Great music and thanks for founding one of the best bands in the world. Great video Paul.
When Frank Thorogood got into the fight that killed Brian two of Frank’s builders where a witness to this incident: Maurice Tucker and John Betsworth from Eastergate (Chichester)
... and, don't forget their female cab driver witness who was bludgeoned and blinded days after. Just coincidence.
