I saw Brian Jones play that guitar in Seattle in 1965. Paul Revere and the Raiders opened for them at The Seattle Center Coliseum! GREAT SHOW!!!
I CAN IMANGINE.
It's just mindblowing that some people out there on the internet actually saw him and even saw him perform. I bet it was incredible
Saw them either just before or just after at Portland Memorial Coliseum the same year.
I was the maintenance engineer for the Hard Rock on 57th street back in the '90's. Back then, this guitar just hung on the wall with all the others and the cleaners would wipe off the hamburger grease with Windex and lemon pledge at night. Occasionally, I'd take it down and bring it over on the subway to East Village Guitars to be worked on. I would tell the powers that be in the company that this, and others, were valuable and historic guitars, but they didn't care all that much. I'm glad the Hard Rock takes better care of guitars like this now.
Crazy, man.
Fuck that is a shame.
If I had Brian's vox guitar in my hand I would have to play the hook guitar line that Brian played in the Last Time .
.Me, too. Woulda been great to play it at RCA studio in Los Angeles through a great old Fender Dual Showman like he and Keith used on that song.
Either that or It's All Over Now.
Me too :-)
Or Mona from bo diddley, or the many others
@@epipick or we could have dirt down home blues
Bran Jones was a real stud muffin who played rhythm guitar with every fiber of his being ...
Hahahaha so true! Good one 👍🏻😄
@garymack That sounds kina gay.
He played some serious lead guitar on that instrument also.
@@jamesbowen8960 almost never.Lead Guitar at the time was Keith
@@claudioperotti9439 Mona ( I need you, baby). I Wanna Be Your Man, I Just Can't Be Satisfied, Tell Me, Little Red Rooster,The Last Time,Get Off Of My Cloud. Brian Jones taught Mick how to play harmonica. He taught Keith guitar. He named the band, booked the gigs,hired Mick and Keith. Then he hired Bill and Charlie. He did all the heavy lifting in the beginning. No Jones,no Stones.
watched this like 5 times. I love Brian Jones, one of my first heroes as a kid. He did so much for the Stones in the early days, the sitar in paint it black, the piano parts the xylophone in under my thumb. wish he never got so heavily into drugs like he did and he could still be with us. Obviously the same goes for so many we've lost. That teardrop guitar is pretty as hell too!! love hearing John 5 play it!
Jones Stones or no Stones
Brian jones is my hero right now and I’m only 11 years old. I really appreciate his talent.
THAT GUITAR IS PRICELESS.
So many memorable photos of Brian with the Vox. It fit him like a glove for some reason.
Yes it did!
Goosebumps listening to the guitar. RIP Brian.
Hope he got plenty of "Bran" with that guitar...
His coat fits the Brian Jones vibe perfectly.
Agree
Bran Jones played for an obscure 60's band called "Shredded Wheat"..
😄👍🏻
If he hadn’t have played ‘The Last Time’ riff (badly) I would have been convinced he didn’t know who Brian Jones was...
"I wanna be your man", "Last Time", "Little Red Rooster".. That's all guitar work by Brian. :( !!
Very cool. I'll add "Crack'in Up" to your list. Oh and "Mona"!
Mother's Little Helper, 19th Nervous Breakdown,Mona (I Need You Baby).
"I Can't Be Satisfied", "No Expectations"
he points out the bridge then continues to play over him. Nice.
I've read the reminisces and stories of Brian's struggles and demons. Regardless as a person who grew up during the Stone's rise to prominence I cannot conceive their existence without Brian Jones. I'm grateful they are identified with my generation. Such an unforgettable ensemble of artists of which Brian Jones is an inseparable part. RIP Brian, RIP.
Very well said.
the look on John 5's face when he held Brian Jones guitar, was genuine. for that moment he wasn't a celebrity, he was a straight-up music fan like the rest of us!
I own a number of ‘’60s Vox Teardrops for decades…Bass, 12-strings and 6-strings..THAT Brian Jones axe is great to see.
Fucking awesome guitar, the tone, jeez
Incredible seeing and hearing it.
That guitar WAS the Rolling Stones! Cherish it.
Some of the comments on here goes back to the old saying ,,,,, How many Guitar players does it take to change a light bulb 100 one to do it the other 99 to go Mmmmm I wouldn't have done it like that
😂🤣
I thought it was 99 to say 'I could do that'
I love this guitar
The clown car left one behind.
more of this guitar please
What a treasure of a guitar. Iconic. Historic. It should be left alone because it is a genuine historic artifact from the magical mid-1960’s period
Oh that's good that way we can only look at a musical instrument instead of hearing it you know what it was made for
@@TheBigMclargehuge Again, it’s a historical artifact and it should be left alone. The only fucking person who should be playing this guitar is Brian Jones, and he’s been dead for 52 years
@@mauricioochoa4179ok mauricio, time to go to bed
yes well, Id like it back now please, thanks so much !
Beautiful guitar, sounds amazing. I’d love to have the chance to hold and play it, even though I’m not very good. 😉
If someone handed me that guitar, I think I'd just freeze up. Amazing piece of history.
Me too, and I would not likely hand it back!😂
This man is showing his respect for this instrument, by not playing it as Brian would have.
Why not he does with others I mean it's not satriani or Vai come on
John has been kissed by the guitar Angels! ❤🎸🧚♂️
NEVER stop shredding John!
We love you and your exceedingly beautiful talent! ❤🎸🎵🎶❤🎸🎵🎶
John 5 will be long forgotten. Brian Jones started the ROLLING STONES! Wasn't Johnny 5s most popular band playing with Manson..who can't write a hit song, so he does (not gonna lie) pretty cool covers to get hits. Manson has a good live show too, but the Stones will still out play those guys at close to 80.
Fun stuff! 👍
Oh Geez...I love that thing! High Tide & Green Grass?
I like Johnny 5 and I like Brian Jones. This video makes me happy.
Very cool.
John 5 - Champion and Legend
An incredible guitar from an amazing musician.
Of course, you can look at big 1964 Stones appearance on English TV, and Brian is playing this exact guitar during reeling in a rocking
A lot of Brian’s possessions “disappeared” (were stolen) from his house just after he died I wonder if this is how it ended up being sold to hard rock
More than likely
That’s how it is when you die and are famous dude. People come after your shit like vultures, pigs, they want what will benefit them
A lot of Eddie Cochran's gear went on the seven winds. It was in an L.A. storage unit and after his mum died and payments stopped, it was sold off in a storage auction...signed items, instruments, personal posessions etc...all went for peanuts and then later ended up in auction rooms. Sad.
Brian Jones was without a doubt one of the best people in the world, hands down, including England. That's how good he was. His brain could spin out very clever things, I'm talking musical stuff and inventing marvellous things to play on the songs. Those early English guys were the best ever, with Elvis Presley of course Buddy and the great Chuck Berrie, included, cos let's face it, you can't leave out the king of rock n roll, even if he never wrote a single musical note in his life. With that said remember to kneel on the floor a pray that hat Brian is forming some well constructed blues licks behind the gates of heaven looking down on us and thinking boy those were the days. Sitting alongside sharp dressed Charlie Watts.
He was a "one and only" type of person. Unique. And he was a genius.
Last time i saw it was at a Stones show Montreal late sixties, after a couple of songs a riot jumped the stage, the show ran and the guitar left on somebody's shoulder.
I love bran jones
Pretty sure the original guitar is in the pub he first started playing at in Cheltenham!
Jeeesuuus!!! 👍🔥
Awesome! Brian Jones's tear drop guitar! I want it! Rather have Keith's blonde tele, though...but Brian's tear drop really stood out and as a life long Stones fan, if I think of Keith, I think of the blonde Tele and Brian's tear drop as the Stones most notorious guitars.
Gotta include Keith's Les Paul black beauty and Brian's Firebird
@@doitnowvideosyeah5841 and Mick Taylor's sunburst L.P.
I love how john just flatout ignores everything the hard rock guy says and simply mutes him out by playing over him :D
He doesn't though, not at all.
Yeah. John's that guy at the band practice.
"Stop playing for one minute so I can talk to Bob here about the organ solo on "Hold Your Head Up"! Good gawd!
@@outsidethepyramid Right. His manners are very nice.
That's because John Five is "legendary." LMAO
Yeah, rude and annoying. Just as he was explaining what was done to the bridge the dummass plays over the top of him.
Legendary guitar. The Last Time played in the wrong position. No offense. I believe It’s All Over Now Brian played a 12 string Vox. Pics of him miming to it on RSG with his custom two pickup Vox teardrop 12 string is the proof. Bill also stated it was a 12 string.
Quite correct. I wonder what happened to that 12-string.
promerops Good question. I’m sure Bill knows. He knows everything. Yet another mystery in the world of Brian Jones. Bill is the one who confirms that Brian played 12 string on It’s All Over Now. Keith and Brian at their finest. One of the best two guitar part songs the Stones ever did. Both guitars are prominent throughout. Especially Brian’s. His guitar gave the song its distinction and feel.
I always play Last time like that. How's it played?
Bert Lindsay Watch the Stones doing it on the Ed Sullivan show. Brian Jones slides from the fifth to the seventh fret throughout the song.
@@bertlindsay The 7th fret position of E I assume. I play it like that but never looked at a tab or studied the Stones playing it live with Brian so I might be wrong
he is so great real guitar player
Who
Wow! Brian's tear drop guitar. He had two. A 12 string and a 6 string.
I want that guitar
Love in vain is keef
Mo Cling Robert Johnson wrote Love In Vain.
I am still intrigued by the spec of the guitar.
Anyone knew the
Scale length
Nut width
Radius and fret type?
Electronic is easier to find tho.
Scourging the net kinda gave me unclear answer.
But what about his Harmony Meteor with the P13s?
Bran Jones - he was a regular guy.
what amp is he playing all these guitars through ?

What happened to johns 4 3 2 and 1?
Nicky Sixx got 'em
Some people are soooo lucky to live such lives, and some people a head to toe introverts like myself, goddamit!
i hope he's warm enough
PRETTY SURE THIS IS ACTUALLY JOHN 5's TWIN BROTHER JOHN 4.
7.7Y
No good, he started playing all these muted notes.... I want to hear chords ring out, the strings, the notes, some bends!
Who is John 5 - is he someone named John who was number 5 in a contest or the 5th person named John in a family?
Exactomundo....
No he has a five inch '....'
“Bran” Jones? Can’t you go in and edit the misspelling?
I BELONGED TO THE HARD ROCK VAULT & COULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR THIS!!! BUT, I MOVED TO TENNESSEE...UGH!!!
Guitar Brian Jones solo
Last Time
maybe he shoulda learned to play The Last Time in the right place and even the right notes!
Exactly. The open string notes !!! Almost everyone I see plays it like John 5 did and it's wrong !! Doesn't even sound right. And what was that nonsense in the middle of this video ?
@@kevinmalone8903 it's called "rhythm changes" aka "I got rhythm" "oleo" "the flintstones"
Who is yhis guy? I mean, that was really embarrassing. There's no sliding on the last 6 notes of The Last Time riff. And yeah, not even at the right place. Drives me crazy when people cant hear things correctly. He thinks he nailed it
I agree. It would have been nice if he played the riff correctly. Also, I don’t think Brian plays this guitar on It’s All Over Now. There is some debate as to whether he plays a 12-string or a 6-string on that song.
AMEN BROTHER
First thing that morning he looked in the mirror & thought 'Yeah I look good in this!'
What a great axe. Think he played it on an Ed Sullivan appearance
That sounds sweeeeet proceeds to play the Last Time wrong! 😂
If that is in fact the one, This gitter appeared on Ed Sullivan for Time Is On My Side.
very nice !!!by the way he don't get any Stones lick right!!
Bran Jones
whats the name of the first song he is playing? or is it just improvision?
Bran from GOT or Brian from the Stones?
I love that guitar!! I would have it cut left-handed! I hate playing it right-handed. People asked why I play left-handed. It is because I cannot play it right-hannded.
play the slide riff from little red rooster
Who is this guy and what happened to the four prior Johns?
Couple things & I believe may need a correction. -
But first, the comments here have been mostly spot on, & often hilarious. The original owner - of course, BrIan Jones. But, per a Guitar magazine article as well as other sources, Brian’s guitar is one of 5 prototypes. It’s a 2 pickup version of the Vox Mark VI. The tailpiece is a copy of a Stratocaster bridge without the vibrato.
Also, the pickguard is metal.
Any corrections or additions to this post are welcome.
And, yes....I wish
Mark VI had instead been the guitarist :-)
The bridge is not a copy, it's a real early 60's Fender Stratocaster bridge,the side where the whammy bar goes in was chopped off,I played it in 2011 and it played great, also the pickups have a bite of a tele, richness of a strat and not thin sounding like later Vox guitars made after 64.
Just streads on it instead of playing some nice clean chords which Is what we sort of expected and wanted to hear
Never heard of this player.
Exactly
This prick just wants to show off.
Play little red roaster pleaseeeeeee
You can def tell John 5 grew up watching heehaw and Roy Clark Jr
B - R- I - A - N Jones.
Bran Jones: Brought to you by Kellogg’s.
John 5 looks like he sells some awesome potions
I dont think Brian was with them when they recorded that song. He only played on a few cuts on Let It Bleed from what Ive heard. When Brian left it wasnt the same band anymore..
He was The Rolling Stone. I wager the name was something that either his parent's called him or the parents of his baby mamas. He was too clever to have not thought extensively about the name of the band. I bet it was his revenge name - you call me nothing but a a rolling stone? Yeah? Well, watch what this Rolling Stone can do! But the others robbed that off him like they did everything else. Did any of his estate go to his family? Or did they take everything the day of his funeral? His guitars didn't seem to have gone to them as they should have done.
@@biancabeavis7198 Well he blew off his kids. Say what you will about Keith he took care of all his kids.
@@biancabeavis7198 The story is Brian got it from a Muddy Waters tune
@@doitnowvideosyeah5841
That is the 'official story'.
However, it doesn't make sense.
It was originally Brian's band.
Brian had wanted to form a band for a long time.
Do you think,
a.) he gave the name of the band zero thought before hand, and genuinely named the band by a random glance at a record?
or, b.) thought about it as much as he thought about the band itself?
Logic says, b.
Then, given that Rolling Stone was probably an insulting term given to him by his baby mama's parents - because he was a bit of a rolling stone, that would have been the perfect name for his band, do you think he would wish to go into detail with the other members of the band who would have undoubtedly taken the mick (ha, no pun intended), or do you think he would have come up with a causal story for the others?
Well, whether you still believe the 'official' version, I still think that is the more likely scenario. I believe he was The Rolling Stone and they, as his band, were The Rolling Stones.
It's a crime he has been almost erased from their history by Mick and Keith. Thankfully there are books and the internet to keep his memory alive! No Stones, with no Jones.
@@biancabeavis7198 Didn't Brian's first band have a different name? Elmo Lewis and the Blue....Perfect band names usually just hit you in the head. I believe Brian had a badass record collection and could have got the name from the Muddy song. Probably not when the booker was on the phone but..
Man..that guitar sounds so different from alot of other shit....
Who did they buy the guitar from? Brian Jones?
It got Sticky Fingered. That guitar belongs with his children.
How cool is this....from the first strum sounds like mid sixties Stones...... Spooky....
don't knew who the hell this guy was (legend??), so i did my wikipedia research.... now I have the same feeling than before, they should of use someone who else than him to show this guitar..
rob zombie? yuck!
Should have got Keth Richards to play it.
I was wondering how long it would take to get to 2:32
and he's playing it wrong too
He didn’t even do any fucking Chuck Berry shit that Brian did so cool
what tuning is he playing in?
Out of
Standard duh
They should make a museum to Brian Jones he changed popular music .
😂😂😂
This guys hair and clothes ... supreme dork
Pretty obvious you weren’t around from 1965 to 75.
He looks cool imo lol
Good thing you weren't around to criticize (as I'm sure you would have) Brian Jones who dressed and wore his hair flamboyantly. He made history with that guitar.
Brian Jones definitely looks better! Agree with you @Steve Harrell!
For real and the way he acts too
The Toecutter! He knows who I am!
Ah yes, Bran Jones the rhythm guitarist for The Boney Rolls
Bran Jones lol
vox made more than one of these. brian was givin the first prototype to play and advertise it for vox guitars. nobody knows what happened to brians origional!
Ronnie would play it but Keith wouldn’t let him
What
Brian guitar i wonder if his estate will eventually write a book about him , and his music
eko italy or not?
