I knew Brian Jones. We were both in Form 2S in Cheltenham Grammar School. He was 11 and I was 10 when we first joined the school. We were both in the school orchestra so I can legitimately say that I performed on stage with him.
"Brian was a brilliant, fluent multi-instrumentalist, he was the one who founded the Rolling Stones and he had the creative vision that helped them to evolve organically from a mop-top blues-pop group into the mystical rock gods they became--something that many people today might not realise."--Mick Fleetwood
@susanGold-t4h Well I'm young, so since the 90s, lol. I discovered the Beatles Anthology first, and then the Stones from there. I saw Brian at the Rock and Roll Circus and thought, "Wow, who is THAT?!" ;D
@@TheaterPup I get it. I was born in 1992. I'd only _seen_ Ronnie Wood-era Stones in the media. I had no idea the lineup was ever anything other than Jagger-Richards-Wyman-Watts-Wood. It's only when I got older and got more seriously into music that I explored the Stones' back catalogue, read up about their history and found out who Brian Jones was (and who Ian Stewart was, for that matter!). For what it's worth my favourite era of the Stones is the Mick Taylor era, but Brian added a ton of fantastic texture and colour - can you imagine Lady Jane without the dulcimer, Paint It Black without the sitar, No Expectations without the heartbreaking slide work? Brian put the Stones together and was by far the most gifted musician among them at that time. A shame he never got a grip on his demons.
LO QUE NO ACABAN DE A ENTENDER ES QUE UNA BANDA, DE LA MUSICA QUE SEA..., SIN UN BUEN CANTANTE, SIN UNA VOS SINGULAR, NO ES NADA..., LA REALIDAD ES QUE MIKE JAGUER ERA EL ALMA DEL GRUPO..., NO ME IMAGINO OTRA VOZ CON LOS ROLING STONES QUE NO SEA LA VOZ DE MIKE JAGUER...
What a blessing for all of us that Brian Jones was not like everybody else. His music and influence still to this day has relevance in ways that matter. How many people can claim that. RIP beautiful Brian.
Brian Jones fans. Brian was strictly all business while performing on stage. I believe that is what Ray Davies is referring to when he says Brian was a compelling performer. Brian Jones truly worked hard to achieve and attain all his success and I so admire him! I'm 64 years old now and Brian is and always will be my all-time favourite Rolling Stone! REST IN PEACE ~ LEWIS BRIAN HOPKIN JONES
@@AdrianaLaCerva126 I'll never forget July 4,1969. My family and my late cousin Julio's family, celebrated Independence Day at Hansen Dam Park in Lakeview Terrace, CA. It was a blistering hot day as we barbecued and enjoyed the lake. I was 11 years old. My late brother Anthony, Julio and I decided to go across the street to buy some Ice Cream and Soda Pop. As we entered, I walked to read the newspaper and was staggered as I read the headline, and I'm paraphrasing, which said something like "Rolling Stone Drowns In Pool Tragedy". I shouted to my brother, "Hey Tony, I think Mick Jagger drowned in his pool!" As I read the article, I learned it was Brian, my favorite Stone, who drowned! I was so deeply saddened! I couldn't believe it! I was unaware that Jones was no longer a Rolling Stone and that he had been ousted from the Group! As we left the picnic, I asked my Dad if he would take us by "White's Record Store" in my neighborhood of Pacoima, CA. I was surprised to see Mr. White opened being it was Independence Day but was a Friday. I asked Mr. White if he heard the shocking news and he said that it was terrible. I was stunned when he said that The Rolling Stones had just released a new Single that very day! That Single was Honky Tonk Woman b/w You Can't Always Get What You Want on London Records. As I look back, I realize that is one of the reasons Mr. White opened that day because of The Stones' new Singles release. I went home and spun that record endlessly thinking of Brian and realizing he was no longer with us. It was an event that is seared in my mind. R.I.P. LEWIS BRIAN HOPKIN JONES
@@raulmacias1311 Hi, Brian was my favorite,I had a little girl crush on him. His smile and hair. I was unaware that he died whenHonkey Tonk came out. Yes it was July and that song was just WOW. If I ever get to England I would visit his grave and thank him for really changing my world so. It was great hearing from you. I’m sorry about your losses. We have our memories don’t we.❤️
I saw him play twice, in 1964 and 1965. He and Mick were the frontmen, the three others just played. He had plenty of charisma and energy - he covered the stage - later on, Mick learned to do it even better. Sometimes I wonder if Mick will go into a new phase where he doesn't have to run back and forth the whole show - I'm over 70, and boy oh boy...things wear out...
@@alessandroromanello2055 Alessandro , yes there are many of us to feel this way about Brian Jones . He had a magical quality about him ... there was a lot of depth .
IMO there are two Rolling Stones: The Brian Jones Rolling Stones - and the band that has been riding those coat tails for 53 years. That second band did some good stuff, but the fist band made it possible for them.
My eldest brother knew him and played with both him and a couple of the other Stones. -As I still have a letter my brother wrote to my mum shortly after Brian died as he was very cut-up over the death of Brian Jones.
Hi , I still miss him every day and night I always say good morning and good night to him and as daft as it may sound I talk to him and look for him in the skies he told me that I loved him but I didn’t tell him he guessed then said he loved me he bought me a ring and we were going to get married when I was 16 years old . But obviously that didn’t happen because he was murdered it was never an accident despite all the things that has been said. Definitely a conspiracy between thoroughly no good and the other nasty piece of work
Brian was the founder and heartbeat of the Stones. Without him there would not be the Rolling Stones. No matter how they tried to push him out, he still remains the pivotal in the early Stones. Gone too soon, rest easy beautiful man , your music lives on
Imagine being kicked out of The Rolling Stones for doing too much junk... You would think that's humanly impossible. The Stones themselves have repeatedly admitted drugs affected their work process significantly, and not in a good way. I think either the rest of the band hadn't yet started doing so much junk or maybe there were other communication issues. Probably both. If I recall correctly, Jones was missing rehearsals or was underperforming, according to the other Stones. I know from experience that you can't help an addict who doesn't want to be helped, but damn, when an addict dies, especially such a talented o special person, you kinda wish they had forced him to get clean even if it meant kidnapping him and doing other illegal stuff like imprisoning him. But, of course, realistically speaking, even that wouldn't work out; they would go back to consuming, maybe even harder the first time after being sober, thus risking an OD.
@@geristracener5253 This is creepy, 'cause I was just listening to this song: ua-cam.com/video/di9HNFqRXfc/v-deo.html , but I still have no idea what you mean, ha ha.
@@maxczapski2239 Dude no worries lol. I have no idea what my comment was. As u see I just smoked 💨💨💨💨 so I'm a tad buzzed. I was 13 in 1963 when the Stones hit the states. Hung in there the whole ride. Micks my preference. 👅👅👅💨💨💨💨
@@geristracener5253 Hey, I'm walking home from a friend's. I tied one on with her and her mom, so I'm a little bit buzzed myself. I'm just a 38 year-old Argie and the Stones are great, but I bet seeing them in 1963 was the shit. Have an amazing evening!
If it had strings, Brian could pick it up and play it like he'd been practicing for years. Almost nobody could learn that quickly. Brian was prodigiously gifted. It's a damn shame Brian left us so young. He was working on writing songs shortly before his death. Whether he put a new band together or recorded as a solo artist, I have no doubt Brian's music would've been well worth hearing.
A lot of the girls liked him - what an understatement! I met one of his boys (I think he called a number of them Julian, after Cannonball Adderley) on his second birthday just outside my home town of Reading. Brian had stayed at that house for a while, running up a huge telephone bill to the US, and fathering one of his children there. Young Julian was an absolute double of his dad, even down to the helmet-style mop of blonde hair! A genius, but like many such, not always loved by those closest to him.
Becoming an international rock star was fairly new territory to absorb in 1964 for a 22 year old raised in the still smoldering ruins of WWII. The relentless celebrity part did him in, I think.
“I always used to see Brian in the clubs and hang out with him. In the mid-Sixties he used to come out to my house - particularly when he’d got ‘the fear’, when he’d mixed too many weird things together. I’d hear his voice shouting to me from out in the garden: 'George, George…’ I’d let him in - he was a good mate. He would always come round to my house in the sitar period. We talked about 'Paint It Black’ and he picked up my sitar and tried to play it - and the next thing was he did that track. We had a lot in common, when I think about it. […] I think he related to me a lot, and I liked him. Some people didn’t have time for him, but I thought he was one of the most interesting ones.” - George Harrison
Nice quote about Brian from George! I've always thought that he and Brian had a lot in common, and had similar positions in their respective groups, with both being underappreciated by the four more dominant members of both groups (Lennon/McCartney in the Beatles, Jagger/Richards in the Stones). When George Harrison died, Keith Richards was asked for his reaction, and he said in part that he felt a closeness to George because, in his words, they held similar positions in their respective groups, which I think was total BS. If anybody in the Beatles is comparable to Richards role in the Stones, it would have been Lennon.
Brian Jones was the founding member of the Rolling Stones he placed an advertisement in Jazz News in May of 1962 inviting musicians to audition for a new R&B group at the Bricklayer's Arms pub, Brain Jones name the band he was the guy who got them gigs made sure they got to the venues on time and what songs to play he was like the manager in the early days of the Rolling Stones. Brain Jones was multitalented on a vast array of instruments (Guitar, Harmonica, Sitar, Marimba, Recorder, Mellotron, Saxophone, Harpsichord, Appalachian Dulcimer) just to name a few, Brain Jones being a multi-instrumentalist, I wonder if he had become a season musician would that have served him better in the long run, Brain Jones was at the top of his game in the early days of the band sadly lost it all to drugs and other issues when he felt he was losing control of the band he created.
It is really amazing how Brian put his stamp of approval on so many cool Guitars! Brian looked the coolest playing the Gibson Firebird! When I was a boy in '65, my brother, cousin and I would go record shopping, and I would stand there transfixed looking at Brian on Rolling Stones album covers! He was and still is mesmerizing to look at! My all-time favourite is the "Out Of Our Heads" album cover pic of Brian crouched down in front of the other Stones who are standing. In America it was released as "December's Children (and Everybody's)." Later on, I would trip on how cool Brian and Anita Pallenberg would project in magazines! They were truly the coolest British 60s Pop/Rock couple!
@@jackadullboy880 "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" is a song written by Ray Davies and first recorded by The Kinks in 1966 and released in same year as B-side of "Sunny Afternoon." There are likely quite a few covers out there but the Kinks are the original and best.
Brian Jones était les stones,incomparable musicien et créateur,il a créé les stones.Sans il n’aurait pas existé. RIP mes Brian Jones.Merci d’avoir partagé
This is a sweet, sentimental tribute to Brian Jones,, I first saw Brian performing on stage with the Rolling Stones on 26 feb 1966 at the Palais Theatre in St. Kilda, Melb., Victoria,.. Love this Kinks Song , suitably befitting Brian Jones.... R.I.P. BRIAN JONES...
Each to his own buddy. Jagger/Richards were at their pinnacle 68 - 72 writing wise and Taylor lifted their music to heights never achieved before or after!!
Great tribute. I'm old, first saw the Stones at the Maidstone Granada, 8 Jan 1964 on the Group Scene Tour, Ronettes were top of the bill. Then later that year on Hastings pier. Wonderful!!
exactly, he was effortlessly what he was, unlike Mick and Keef...he also was there for hsi love of music, not fame or $$, like the other two,which is why true blues musicians and Hendrix, Dylan, Lennon were his close friends
@@thesummerland6165 Talk utter crap, Mick and Keith did nothing wrong Brian had a paranoid problem he suffered from personality disorder. Plus find george Harrison was a closer friend to Brian than Lennon.
Brian had a musician's natural gift on any instrument he chose to work with. What he didn't have was the gift of songwriting as The Glimmer Twins had. He may have started the band but he would never have made it become anything on his own. Like it or not, from the get-go it was Mick and Keith's band. THEY are the ones who turned the Stones into the iconic juggernaut it still is today. And Brian, tragically, chose the path that led to his untimely passing. But there's no doubt his touch on the early incarnation of the band is noticeable and different from the later phases. The Stones are a great band, with and without Brian. But his contributions to the first years are indelible. RIP, Brian Jones.
Brian was a forerunner in introducing world music...something that Peter Gabriel later championed, but he wasn’t first.. ua-cam.com/video/MMyzV70ESSE/v-deo.html The full album is called Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka.
@@virginiaviola5097it was Brian Jones who named me and formed the band if it wasn’t for him there whould never be a Rolling Stones they whould have been a different band and not popular or never made it big like it is today Brian can lay any instrument Mick and Keith are working for Brian it will always be Brian’s bands
@@mikebarooshian7255 yup. That’s what I say, and everybody on the internet tears me down for it. It’s nice to meet someone else with the intelligence to know that not only was it Brian’s band but it was Brian’s incredible talent and great ear that made the early Stones songs sound like the Stones and nobody else. He was an extraordinarily talented multi-instrumentalist, and he could hear things in those songs that nobody else could.. eg, can you imagine Paint It Black *without* the sitar in the intro? That was Brian. After they ditched Brian it was Gram Parsons and Mick Taylor who took them into a US influenced country rock direction. When Mick Taylor quit and Gram was dead it was John Lennon who got Mick into blue-eyed soul, funk.. then when Ronnie Wood came on board they just became very commercial and basically started their lives as the world’s best Rolling Stones cover band…. None of which could have been remotely possible without Brian Jones.
@@virginiaviola5097 Brian Jones can play any instrument Brian was the stones it was his band did u know brian was the only stone that played the saxophone on the Beatles song u know my name look up my number to this day Mick and Keith don’t give him the respect he deserves they say he never formed the band brian only wanted the stones to play blues not pop it’s a sad cry of what the stones became today now the stones are no longer the band we all used to love now there a marketing band a money pit with Mick Taylor they were different but they still made great records don’t get me wrong and with Ron Wood when Bill Wyman left they became an all different band all together not that good in my opinion the stones were never the stones without Bill listen to those old stones albums listen to bills baselines the band lost there chemistry without Bill and they became garbage for decades and decades the whole band shots have hung it up after steel wheels and Bill said when a band is it the very time they should stop while there ahead you can only go down the whole band should have called it a day and stopped after steel wheels retire Wyman did he did the right thing he stopped
@@virginiaviola5097 Wyman said when a band is at the very top it’s time to stop you can only go down without Bill the stones were never the stones what the stones could hav done was make new studio albums they have tons of unreleased songs and Bill said they could use those songs to make new records not releasing the same albums with bonus songs he said the stones have enough songs to make 15 new records all they wanted to do was tour and release Deluxe edition studio albums the whole band should have called it a day after steel wheels they should have stoped while they were ahead to this day Bill said Brian formed and named The Rolling Stones he suasion Mick and Keith had nothing to do with it Brian is the stones it’s his band and it will always be Brian’s band there working for him

Ty’s for those beautiful photos of Brian! My favorite crush still love ! Glad to see them twice with Brian they were awesome til he left then they were so so
This is utter nonsense. The Stones run from Beggars Banquet to Exile on Main Street was what truly gave them their run as the greatest rock and roll band.... Brian had little to no involvement in any of that, and it was brilliant songsmithing on Jagger/Richards part that made it. During this era Keith had discovered his five string technique, and the rest is history.
@@admiralbob77 They have had many eras. There are lots of hypotheticals. They individually probably would have found success without Brian, but the Rolling Stones would not exist had it not been for him.
I love the Rollingstones. They are and have always be my favorite band. We know Brian formed the Rollingstones ; giving them the name and the rhythm and blues sound ( in the beginning of the band). We will not forget him.
@@Methilde Notwithstanding that Brian formed the band, he wasn't happy. It is clear he didn't appreciate Mick Jagger getting most of the attention, and it showed, which happens often when one is the lead singer.
What a fucking great beautiful , montage and tribute to Brian Jones, a picture certainly does tell a beautiful story , not one word uttered by Brian, but all the charisma captured in his face. But the most telling thing is, that montage, more than ANYTHING ELSE, proves why he and Mick could NOT survive in the same band . Brian was always the MORE CREATIVE musically than Mick, Lets Spend The Night ... Would of been their best song if the hippie consciousness and Beggers and the next 4 Stones albums didn't happen, and Brian inspired Lets Spend the .... But Brian's clothes, persona , mischievousness , musical talent was clearly to much for Mick, who Kieth sided with , for his own reasons, we will never know , maybe Brian could take MORE HARD DRUGS than Kieth, and Mick, being cleaner, was more of a different character, and made Kieth look more rebellious , where as , Brian made Kieth look more conservative, we will never know. What I'm pissed about, like Hendrix and Morrison, he left us at the peak of his genius, oh shitty Shitty , Shitty. At least he gave us the Stones in the first place, or his love for American black blues and Jimmy Reed did. Everyone saying the Kinks song is sweet, but '' Let's Spend The Night .... '' would of bed a lot better, it's Brian's through and through. Or '' Stray Cat Blues '' along with Jumping Jack their two quintessential ROCK songs and my favorite. They were also the last songs Brian had any REAL input in, as well as their BEST album '' Beggers .... It's no coincidence his parting gift to the WORLD was making '' Beggers .... the best Rock album ever made.
Brian Jones was a huge influence on me ever since my childhood,in fact the first album I ever bought was in 1966 at 12 years old I bought "December's Children (and everybody's)".He played a very large part in my decision to become a musician.Even then I knew that Brian was the founder/leader of the Stones and was astute enough to realize that he was the most musically gifted.I was crushed when Brian died so needlessly and mysteriously and my disdain for Mick and Keef grew to gargantuan proportions.I only bought 2 Stones albums after Brian's death,"Stick Fingers" and "Goats Head Soup" their albums just didn't have any impact on me any more.What galls me most since his death besides Jagger and Richards lack of acknowledgement of his contribution was that they tried to rewrite history and still do by claiming that the Stones was their baby and that they did Brian a huge favour by taking him aboard.This is pure B.S. ,Brian placed ads in London and British music publications that he was giving auditions at the Bricklayers Arms in Soho with hopes of forming a rhythm and blues band.He was impressed with Mick's singing and his stage presence but saw no place for Keef in the band because his playing wasn't up to Brian's high standards,it wasn't until Mick refused to join without Keef that Brian-quite reluctantly-took him in.I literally became nauseated when I bought Richards' "Life" (at a ridiculously low price-otherwise it would've stayed in the shop)and saw that he was perpetuating his fabricated story of how the Stones came to be.How these 2 bastards have the unmitigated gall to continue that fairytale of how the Stones came to be is beyond me-especially when you realize that anyone who was alive and living in Britain-especially London-at that time,knew full well that the band was originally "Brian Jones and His Rollin' (sic) Stones".Please forgive the rant but whenever I get the chance to tell the real story of how the Stones came to be and expose Jagger and Richards as the perfidious,back-stabbing opportunists they really are, I just have to go for it-they have been putting on a charade of playing real nice rock stars for far too long.They should get on their knees every morning and thank God for having Brian Jones come into their miserable lives-they wouldn't have had near the success they had if it had not been for Brian-a true musical genius.
Thank you so much for your comment, these kind of words are always welcome here. You telling the true story contributes on keeping his memory and legacy alive. It is certainly not weird that musicians are the ones capable of seeing Brian true genius and figuring out the whole bunch of lies they created to silence his importance
@@LasLupin It is incumbent on every person who knows the real story of how the Stones came to be, to expose Jagger and Richards as the treacherous perfidious parasites they really are.They rode to fame and riches on Brian's coattails and then usurped the leadership of the Stones from him,abandoning him and completely shunning him from the Stones' inner sanctum.After Brian's death they added insult to injury by staging a maudlin and highly farcical and hypocritical "tribute" concert in Hyde Park to "honor" Brian.Although a lot of the feeble minded attendees of the concert may have been touched by their "final act of brotherhood" most people-especially the rock aristocracy-saw it for what it was-a feeble attempt to rid their conscience of the enormous amount of guilt they must have been feeling.To add even more farce to this event they had already firmly implanted Brian's replacement in the band-which the rock press and rock royalty hardly failed to notice as a further insulting slight to his memory.All in all the actions of Jagger and Richards will go down in the annals of rock as the most outrageous display of treachery,betrayal and disloyalty ever to sully the rock industry and Jagger and Richards will forever be the most shallow double crossing pseudo friends in the world of rock .
Derek Belbin .......it’s always a pleasure to read articulate and informed comments like yours and I couldn’t agree more. I was a Stone’s fan in Brian’s time and am both stunned and saddened at this “rewriting of history”. I too have watched the Stones story change (remarkably) over the years to better suit the “Glimmers” but anyone who has *truly* followed the band *knows* Brian was integral to their early sound. I loved Mick Taylor’s playing but after only a short while, all the original “colour” was completely gone, replaced by the repetitive, monotonous drone we’re hearing to this day. Brian was *infinitely* more important to the band than many would have us believe.
Derek. Spot on. The Stones were finished after "Exile On Main Street". Jagger and Richards didn't even have the good grace to acknowledge the 50th anniversary of Brian's death. Not one single word. That speaks volumes. Without him, they wouldn't have existed.
Brian Jones was my favorite Stone to look at in all their photos in all their albums. He was my favorite one to watch. Thanks for making this happen....awesome song to listen to while thinking of him too. Thanks so much!!!
“When I met [Brian Jones] I liked him quite a lot. He was a good fellow, you know. I got to know him very well, I think, and I felt very close to him; you know how it is with some people, you feel for them, feel near them. He was born February 28, 1943, and I was born on February 25, 1943, and he was with Mick and Keith and I was with John and Paul in the groups, so there was a sort of understanding between the two of us. The positions were similar, and I often seemed to meet him in his times of trouble. There was nothing the matter with him that a little extra love wouldn’t have cured. I don’t think he had enough love or understanding. He was very nice and sincere and sensitive, and we must remember that’s what he was.” - George Harrison
THE ORIGINAL ROLLING STONE. BRIAN JONES . FIRST STONE . FIRST REBEL . FIRST STAR . QUICK BLOOD . TOO QUICK . TOOK NO CRAP FROM NO ONE . FIRST GLAM ROCKER . HE LIVES IN US LIKE JIMI HENDRIX !
Caught two Stones concerts, 1965 and 1966. My brother and I paid $3.75 for 4th row tickets. Brian was the visual focal point of the Stones. I can even remember what he wore. Sure Mick put on a great show, but not everyone can be the coolest cat in the world, as was Brian.
He certainly was envied yes. It's sad reading these comments when there are so many haters bullying, criticing and name calling us fans that loved him and preferred the 'Jones Stones' era. Not cool guys. Case in point. The bully below who is harassing me now, and deleting his spite from the thread. The 3 of them are the same person. Bully sicko troll.

Rolling Stones bass guitarist Bill Wyman said of Jones, "He formed the band. He chose the members. He named the band. He chose the music we played. He got us gigs. ... he was very influential, very important, and then slowly lost it - highly intelligent - and just kind of wasted it and blew it all away."
Dries Van Dongen Must have been. Not in the beginning. When Anita Pallenburg came into the picture it changed him. I've watched old interviews of Brian & he seemed sensitive & almost shy. Not aggressive like the glimmer twins. So sad he must have been murdered. The police never made a real investigation either. Very strange. Such a great musician. I believe he would've had many more accomplishments if he had lived.
Thank you for posting this! Never paid much attention to him until recently. I like his style. He's far more animated and comfortable than Mick Taylor. I think both men were fantastically talented. I enjoy listening to them both.
Lara and Ginny...GREAT job at making a video that combines an iconic figure like Brian Jones with a tune from an equally influential band as The Kinks. The two quotes by Ray and Dave Davies frame this tribute perfectly. I could chime in about B Jones but everything that I would say has already been said. I rarely hear accolades on the makers of these videos/tributes, once again good job!
Brian Jones , The first Stone , The stone with all the talent and ability . Yes , He may have been full of himself and made many a male enemy but as far as I’m concerned, when they lost Brian the Stones would never be the same or as good , per listen to Ruby Tuesday. No one can ever take Brian’s place . Sure , The Rolling Stones have been around for 50 years but they definitely aren’t the same without Mr Jones . RIP Brian
Wish I could have shared the same time and place with Sir Brian Jones. Truly one of a kind! Look what we're left with musically.....No comparison! Love you Brian Jones. Fucking drugs, money and fame. 3 deadly things in the world of a true artist. RIP!

These must be rare. A lot of these pictures and some video clips are new to me. I have not seen a lot of these and I thought I had seen some Rolling Stones pictures and videos. Wow, this is like rare, pure gold. Thanks.
LasLupin .......yes Brian should be forever remembered (and acknowledged) as “Founder” of The Rolling Stones. If only to put a stop to the Glimmers nasty habit of detracting from everything Brian ever did. Jagger even states in interviews that *he* (Jagger) started the band. Oh no you didn’t Mick, some of us remember.
@@lindadoteyour right Brian doesn’t get the credit he deserves to this day Brian formed and named the stones he wanted them to play only Blues music Even Bill Wyman said Mick had nothing to do with forming the band he said Brian named me formed the band it’s a sad cry of what the stones became today there no longer the band we love now there a cooperation band doing it for the money selling out making collectables having concert and they can’t even sing anymore there’s only Mick and Keith left Ronnie wasn’t really a stone he was in the faces the band should have stopped after steel wheels
Lots of comments about Brian, all I know is that when I heard he had died I sat in the middle of Bristol and cried. First saw the Stones at Longleat House, Wiltshire UK in around August '64 and on every occasion since. there is no precedent for comparing a rock band then and now, just looking forward to their 60th anniversary.
Great Kinks song to showcase stills and filming of Brian Jones and The Rolling Stones. How does one so young deal with fame, complicated relations in a band, and inner demons that we all have. The brain isn't fully developed until 25. From 25 to 30, it's a grace period. So many of the young artists during this time didn't make it to 30. Sad, really.
To the Brian haters, he was a friend to many of his contemporary bands. He was a respected musician, also a producer and composer. Look it up. He also was the first and only Stone to play on a Beatles track. He played sax on You Know My Name. “[John] was disgusted and really, really pissed off that Brian had died the way that he did, thinking it was a terrible waste.”
Supposedly Brian John Lennon and Hendrix where to get together and form a Super Group Not only did he get stabbed in the back by his friends..that WAS HIS BAND.. Richards stole his girl.. JMYO

What a wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing!
His mother was a piano teacher. His full name is Brian Lewis Hopkin jones
What has he like?
That's pretty cool!! I know he was young, but what was like?
Of course I envy you! I was a kid then, people said he was bad, but that's why we loved him (moreover he was not bad, just unhappy)
"Brian was a brilliant, fluent multi-instrumentalist, he was the one who founded the Rolling Stones and he had the creative vision that helped them to evolve organically from a mop-top blues-pop group into the mystical rock gods they became--something that many people today might not realise."--Mick Fleetwood
@susanGold-t4h Well I'm young, so since the 90s, lol. I discovered the Beatles Anthology first, and then the Stones from there. I saw Brian at the Rock and Roll Circus and thought, "Wow, who is THAT?!" ;D
@@TheaterPup I get it. I was born in 1992. I'd only _seen_ Ronnie Wood-era Stones in the media. I had no idea the lineup was ever anything other than Jagger-Richards-Wyman-Watts-Wood.
It's only when I got older and got more seriously into music that I explored the Stones' back catalogue, read up about their history and found out who Brian Jones was (and who Ian Stewart was, for that matter!).
For what it's worth my favourite era of the Stones is the Mick Taylor era, but Brian added a ton of fantastic texture and colour - can you imagine Lady Jane without the dulcimer, Paint It Black without the sitar, No Expectations without the heartbreaking slide work? Brian put the Stones together and was by far the most gifted musician among them at that time. A shame he never got a grip on his demons.
LO QUE NO ACABAN DE A ENTENDER ES QUE UNA BANDA, DE LA MUSICA QUE SEA..., SIN UN BUEN CANTANTE, SIN UNA VOS SINGULAR, NO ES NADA..., LA REALIDAD ES QUE MIKE JAGUER ERA EL ALMA DEL GRUPO..., NO ME IMAGINO OTRA VOZ CON LOS ROLING STONES QUE NO SEA LA VOZ DE MIKE JAGUER...
ME DA LA IMPRESION DE QUE BRIAN JONES ESTA SOBREVALORADO...
@@JoseGarcia-km7bj Nonsense.
What a blessing for all of us that Brian Jones was not like everybody else. His music and influence still to this day has relevance in ways that matter. How many people can claim that. RIP beautiful Brian.
@@MartiGrant-jc2gn we can’t all be the same otherwise it would be boring and nothing to like or make a difference in the world
the coolest, the best dressed, attitude and snot, and genius musician. this guy does not get the accolades he deserves. and part of the club!
I so agree
Brian Jones fans.
Brian was strictly all business while performing on stage.
I believe that is what Ray Davies is referring to when he says Brian was a compelling performer.
Brian Jones truly worked hard to achieve and attain all his success and I so admire him!
I'm 64 years old now and Brian is and always will be my all-time favourite Rolling Stone!
REST IN PEACE ~

I'll never forget July 4,1969.
My family and my late cousin Julio's family, celebrated Independence Day at Hansen Dam Park in Lakeview Terrace, CA.
It was a blistering hot day as we barbecued and enjoyed the lake.
I was 11 years old.
My late brother Anthony, Julio and I decided to go across the street to buy some Ice Cream and Soda Pop.
As we entered, I walked to read the newspaper and was staggered as I read the headline, and I'm paraphrasing, which said something like "Rolling Stone Drowns In Pool Tragedy".
I shouted to my brother, "Hey Tony, I think Mick Jagger drowned in his pool!"
As I read the article, I learned it was Brian, my favorite Stone, who drowned!
I was so deeply saddened!
I couldn't believe it!
I was unaware that Jones was no longer a Rolling Stone and that he had been ousted from the Group!
As we left the picnic, I asked my Dad if he would take us by "White's Record Store" in my neighborhood of Pacoima, CA.
I was surprised to see Mr. White opened being it was Independence Day but was a Friday.
I asked Mr. White if he heard the shocking news and he said that it was terrible.
I was stunned when he said that The Rolling Stones had just released a new Single that very day!
That Single was Honky Tonk Woman b/w You Can't Always Get What You Want on London Records.
As I look back, I realize that is one of the reasons Mr. White opened that day because of The Stones' new Singles release.
I went home and spun that record endlessly thinking of Brian and realizing he was no longer with us.
It was an event that is seared in my mind.

@@raulmacias1311 Hi, Brian was my favorite,I had a little girl crush on him. His smile and hair. I was unaware that he died whenHonkey Tonk came out. Yes it was July and that song was just WOW. If I ever get to England I would visit his grave and thank him for really changing my world so. It was great hearing from you. I’m sorry about your losses. We have our memories don’t we.❤️
I saw him play twice, in 1964 and 1965. He and Mick were the frontmen, the three others just played. He had plenty of charisma and energy - he covered the stage - later on, Mick learned to do it even better. Sometimes I wonder if Mick will go into a new phase where he doesn't have to run back and forth the whole show - I'm over 70, and boy oh boy...things wear out...
Excelent comment
This was they first stone
Great song byThe Kinks , nice tribute to Brian Jones R.I.P
Je l ecoute tous les matins bravo les kiinks
Porque tributo to brian jones?
Today is February 28, 2020, and Brian would have been 78 years old. He was born on February 28, 1942. I always think of Brian on his birthday.
And also on July 3
Brian Jones was such a super talented musical Genius ...deeply missed
Jimi Hendrix had a great respect for Brian. It means something. John Lennon too. He was the best musician of the original line-up, in my opinion.
@@alessandroromanello2055 Alessandro , yes there are many of us to feel this way about Brian Jones .
He had a magical quality about him ... there was a lot of depth .
Brian was murdered
IMO there are two Rolling Stones: The Brian Jones Rolling Stones - and the band that has been riding those coat tails for 53 years. That second band did some good stuff, but the fist band made it possible for them.
@@tonycaniggia No he wasn't
My eldest brother knew him and played with both him and a couple of the other Stones. -As I still have a letter my brother wrote to my mum shortly after Brian died as he was very cut-up over the death of Brian Jones.
Hi , I still miss him every day and night I always say good morning and good night to him and as daft as it may sound I talk to him and look for him in the skies he told me that I loved him but I didn’t tell him he guessed then said he loved me he bought me a ring and we were going to get married when I was 16 years old . But obviously that didn’t happen because he was murdered it was never an accident despite all the things that has been said. Definitely a conspiracy between thoroughly no good and the other nasty piece of work
Brian was the founder and heartbeat of the Stones. Without him there would not be the Rolling Stones. No matter how they tried to push him out, he still remains the pivotal in the early Stones. Gone too soon, rest easy beautiful man , your music lives on
Imagine being kicked out of The Rolling Stones for doing too much junk... You would think that's humanly impossible. The Stones themselves have repeatedly admitted drugs affected their work process significantly, and not in a good way. I think either the rest of the band hadn't yet started doing so much junk or maybe there were other communication issues. Probably both. If I recall correctly, Jones was missing rehearsals or was underperforming, according to the other Stones. I know from experience that you can't help an addict who doesn't want to be helped, but damn, when an addict dies, especially such a talented o special person, you kinda wish they had forced him to get clean even if it meant kidnapping him and doing other illegal stuff like imprisoning him. But, of course, realistically speaking, even that wouldn't work out; they would go back to consuming, maybe even harder the first time after being sober, thus risking an OD.

must admit, the early Stones (for me) were the best Stones when Brian was still influencing the sound - And now I'm forever a big Kinks fan!
Gee Kay No doubt
Yes.
The American public had the good sense to make 'Ruby Tuesday' #1 on the charts. Hurrah!
Absolutely!! They never sounded the same without Brian.
I totally agree.
He was described as such a talent in which he can pick up any musical instrument and start to play it.
Yea, those were the days. 👅👅👅👅👅💨💨💨💨
If it had strings, Brian could pick it up and play it like he'd been practicing for years. Almost nobody could learn that quickly. Brian was prodigiously gifted.
It's a damn shame Brian left us so young. He was working on writing songs shortly before his death. Whether he put a new band together or recorded as a solo artist, I have no doubt Brian's music would've been well worth hearing.
1964-1976 without doubt the best rolling stones period
LasLupin, excellent video cuts of Brian, some I have not seen. Brian is a hero and the Kinks were my favorite. Thank you
@susanGold-t4h I have always been interested in Brian since the stones started. I liked the early stones.
A lot of the young girls liked him, the boys wanted to be like him. He is remembered, few can say that!
A lot of the girls liked him - what an understatement! I met one of his boys (I think he called a number of them Julian, after Cannonball Adderley) on his second birthday just outside my home town of Reading. Brian had stayed at that house for a while, running up a huge telephone bill to the US, and fathering one of his children there. Young Julian was an absolute double of his dad, even down to the helmet-style mop of blonde hair!
A genius, but like many such, not always loved by those closest to him.
I want to be him.
Becoming an international rock star was fairly new territory to absorb in 1964 for a 22 year old raised in the still smoldering ruins of WWII. The relentless celebrity part did him in, I think.
“I always used to see Brian in the clubs and hang out with him. In the mid-Sixties he used to come out to my house - particularly when he’d got ‘the fear’, when he’d mixed too many weird things together. I’d hear his voice shouting to me from out in the garden: 'George, George…’ I’d let him in - he was a good mate. He would always come round to my house in the sitar period. We talked about 'Paint It Black’ and he picked up my sitar and tried to play it - and the next thing was he did that track.
We had a lot in common, when I think about it. […] I think he related to me a lot, and I liked him. Some people didn’t have time for him, but I thought he was one of the most interesting ones.”
- George Harrison
The most beautiful words about Brian came from George. God bless him.
@@LasLupin he also quoted saying 'there was nothing wrong with Brian that alittle kindness wouldn't have helped'
Nice to hear someone who knew Brian saying something good about him
Nice quote about Brian from George! I've always thought that he and Brian had a lot in common, and had similar positions in their respective groups, with both being underappreciated by the four more dominant members of both groups (Lennon/McCartney in the Beatles, Jagger/Richards in the Stones). When George Harrison died, Keith Richards was asked for his reaction, and he said in part that he felt a closeness to George because, in his words, they held similar positions in their respective groups, which I think was total BS. If anybody in the Beatles is comparable to Richards role in the Stones, it would have been Lennon.
@@stevepafford5501 Great article... Bottom line: There would not have been The Rolling Stones if not for Brian Jones... Thanks for sharing...
I loved all the pictures of him in this video. It really showed how really handsome he was
Brian Jones was the founding member of the Rolling Stones he placed an advertisement in Jazz News in May of 1962 inviting musicians to audition for a new R&B group at the Bricklayer's Arms pub, Brain Jones name the band he was the guy who got them gigs made sure they got to the venues on time and what songs to play he was like the manager in the early days of the Rolling Stones.
Brain Jones was multitalented on a vast array of instruments (Guitar, Harmonica, Sitar, Marimba, Recorder, Mellotron, Saxophone, Harpsichord, Appalachian Dulcimer) just to name a few, Brain Jones being a multi-instrumentalist, I wonder if he had become a season musician would that have served him better in the long run, Brain Jones was at the top of his game in the early days of the band sadly lost it all to drugs and other issues when he felt he was losing control of the band he created.
Perfect tribute to Brian Jones! He certainly wasn’t like anyone else! Well done!
You are right Becky!! Brian certainly. different.
I agree
No Jones, No Stones!!!!
It is really amazing how Brian put his stamp of approval on so many cool Guitars!
Brian looked the coolest playing the Gibson Firebird!
When I was a boy in '65, my brother, cousin and I would go record shopping, and I would stand there transfixed looking at Brian on Rolling Stones album covers!
He was and still is mesmerizing to look at!
My all-time favourite is the "Out Of Our Heads" album cover pic of Brian crouched down in front of the other Stones who are standing.
In America it was released as "December's Children (and Everybody's)."
Later on, I would trip on how cool Brian and Anita Pallenberg would project in magazines!
They were truly the coolest British 60s Pop/Rock couple!
Kink's song is the perfect soundtrack for a Brian Jones tribute. Well done.
What a kickass kinks track - perfect choice
he was a cat!
did not the stones copy this from Alice Cooper or was it the other way around?
@@jackadullboy880 "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" is a song written by Ray Davies and first recorded by The Kinks in 1966 and released in same year as B-side of "Sunny Afternoon." There are likely quite a few covers out there but the Kinks are the original and best.
Doesn't sound like a song from 60s could pass for a song now or 1990s.
Amazing

@@thesummerland6165 Talk utter crap, Mick and Keith did nothing wrong Brian had a paranoid problem he suffered from personality disorder. Plus find george Harrison was a closer friend to Brian than Lennon.
This track grows and hangs on you like an overcoat !..Amazing .. !..Timeless stuff
Brian had a musician's natural gift on any instrument he chose to work with. What he didn't have was the gift of songwriting as The Glimmer Twins had. He may have started the band but he would never have made it become anything on his own. Like it or not, from the get-go it was Mick and Keith's band. THEY are the ones who turned the Stones into the iconic juggernaut it still is today. And Brian, tragically, chose the path that led to his untimely passing. But there's no doubt his touch on the early incarnation of the band is noticeable and different from the later phases. The Stones are a great band, with and without Brian. But his contributions to the first years are indelible. RIP, Brian Jones.
Brian was a forerunner in introducing world music...something that Peter Gabriel later championed, but he wasn’t first.. ua-cam.com/video/MMyzV70ESSE/v-deo.html The full album is called Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka.
@@virginiaviola5097it was Brian Jones who named me and formed the band if it wasn’t for him there whould never be a Rolling Stones they whould have been a different band and not popular or never made it big like it is today Brian can lay any instrument Mick and Keith are working for Brian it will always be Brian’s bands
@@mikebarooshian7255 yup. That’s what I say, and everybody on the internet tears me down for it. It’s nice to meet someone else with the intelligence to know that not only was it Brian’s band but it was Brian’s incredible talent and great ear that made the early Stones songs sound like the Stones and nobody else. He was an extraordinarily talented multi-instrumentalist, and he could hear things in those songs that nobody else could.. eg, can you imagine Paint It Black *without* the sitar in the intro? That was Brian. After they ditched Brian it was Gram Parsons and Mick Taylor who took them into a US influenced country rock direction. When Mick Taylor quit and Gram was dead it was John Lennon who got Mick into blue-eyed soul, funk.. then when Ronnie Wood came on board they just became very commercial and basically started their lives as the world’s best Rolling Stones cover band…. None of which could have been remotely possible without Brian Jones.
@@virginiaviola5097 Brian Jones can play any instrument Brian was the stones it was his band did u know brian was the only stone that played the saxophone on the Beatles song u know my name look up my number to this day Mick and Keith don’t give him the respect he deserves they say he never formed the band brian only wanted the stones to play blues not pop it’s a sad cry of what the stones became today now the stones are no longer the band we all used to love now there a marketing band a money pit with Mick Taylor they were different but they still made great records don’t get me wrong and with Ron Wood when Bill Wyman left they became an all different band all together not that good in my opinion the stones were never the stones without Bill listen to those old stones albums listen to bills baselines the band lost there chemistry without Bill and they became garbage for decades and decades the whole band shots have hung it up after steel wheels and Bill said when a band is it the very time they should stop while there ahead you can only go down the whole band should have called it a day and stopped after steel wheels retire Wyman did he did the right thing he stopped
@@virginiaviola5097 Wyman said when a band is at the very top it’s time to stop you can only go down without Bill the stones were never the stones what the stones could hav done was make new studio albums they have tons of unreleased songs and Bill said they could use those songs to make new records not releasing the same albums with bonus songs he said the stones have enough songs to make 15 new records all they wanted to do was tour and release Deluxe edition studio albums the whole band should have called it a day after steel wheels they should have stoped while they were ahead to this day Bill said Brian formed and named The Rolling Stones he suasion Mick and Keith had nothing to do with it Brian is the stones it’s his band and it will always be Brian’s band there working for him

It was an era we're missing right now
That sounds right. However, many talented musicians are not equipped to be band leaders. That's another talent altogether.
This is utter nonsense. The Stones run from Beggars Banquet to Exile on Main Street was what truly gave them their run as the greatest rock and roll band.... Brian had little to no involvement in any of that, and it was brilliant songsmithing on Jagger/Richards part that made it. During this era Keith had discovered his five string technique, and the rest is history.

Brian jones aveva molto talento ..molto carismatico . Gli occhi erano tutti puntati su lui quando si esibiva sul palco ❤
What a fucking great beautiful , montage and tribute to Brian Jones, a picture certainly does tell a beautiful story , not one word uttered by Brian, but all the charisma captured in his face. But the most telling thing is, that montage, more than ANYTHING ELSE, proves why he and Mick could NOT survive in the same band . Brian was always the MORE CREATIVE musically than Mick, Lets Spend The Night ... Would of been their best song if the hippie consciousness and Beggers and the next 4 Stones albums didn't happen, and Brian inspired Lets Spend the .... But Brian's clothes, persona , mischievousness , musical talent was clearly to much for Mick, who Kieth sided with , for his own reasons, we will never know , maybe Brian could take MORE HARD DRUGS than Kieth, and Mick, being cleaner, was more of a different character, and made Kieth look more rebellious , where as , Brian made Kieth look more conservative, we will never know. What I'm pissed about, like Hendrix and Morrison, he left us at the peak of his genius, oh shitty Shitty , Shitty. At least he gave us the Stones in the first place, or his love for American black blues and Jimmy Reed did. Everyone saying the Kinks song is sweet, but '' Let's Spend The Night .... '' would of bed a lot better, it's Brian's through and through. Or '' Stray Cat Blues '' along with Jumping Jack their two quintessential ROCK songs and my favorite. They were also the last songs Brian had any REAL input in, as well as their BEST album '' Beggers .... It's no coincidence his parting gift to the WORLD was making '' Beggers .... the best Rock album ever made.
Brian Jones was a huge influence on me ever since my childhood,in fact the first album I ever bought was in 1966 at 12 years old I bought "December's Children (and everybody's)".He played a very large part in my decision to become a musician.Even then I knew that Brian was the founder/leader of the Stones and was astute enough to realize that he was the most musically gifted.I was crushed when Brian died so needlessly and mysteriously and my disdain for Mick and Keef grew to gargantuan proportions.I only bought 2 Stones albums after Brian's death,"Stick Fingers" and "Goats Head Soup" their albums just didn't have any impact on me any more.What galls me most since his death besides Jagger and Richards lack of acknowledgement of his contribution was that they tried to rewrite history and still do by claiming that the Stones was their baby and that they did Brian a huge favour by taking him aboard.This is pure B.S. ,Brian placed ads in London and British music publications that he was giving auditions at the Bricklayers Arms in Soho with hopes of forming a rhythm and blues band.He was impressed with Mick's singing and his stage presence but saw no place for Keef in the band because his playing wasn't up to Brian's high standards,it wasn't until Mick refused to join without Keef that Brian-quite reluctantly-took him in.I literally became nauseated when I bought Richards' "Life" (at a ridiculously low price-otherwise it would've stayed in the shop)and saw that he was perpetuating his fabricated story of how the Stones came to be.How these 2 bastards have the unmitigated gall to continue that fairytale of how the Stones came to be is beyond me-especially when you realize that anyone who was alive and living in Britain-especially London-at that time,knew full well that the band was originally "Brian Jones and His Rollin' (sic) Stones".Please forgive the rant but whenever I get the chance to tell the real story of how the Stones came to be and expose Jagger and Richards as the perfidious,back-stabbing opportunists they really are, I just have to go for it-they have been putting on a charade of playing real nice rock stars for far too long.They should get on their knees every morning and thank God for having Brian Jones come into their miserable lives-they wouldn't have had near the success they had if it had not been for Brian-a true musical genius.
Thank you so much for your comment, these kind of words are always welcome here. You telling the true story contributes on keeping his memory and legacy alive.
It is certainly not weird that musicians are the ones capable of seeing Brian true genius and figuring out the whole bunch of lies they created to silence his importance
@@LasLupin It is incumbent on every person who knows the real story of how the Stones came to be, to expose Jagger and Richards as the treacherous perfidious parasites they really are.They rode to fame and riches on Brian's coattails and then usurped the leadership of the Stones from him,abandoning him and completely shunning him from the Stones' inner sanctum.After Brian's death they added insult to injury by staging a maudlin and highly farcical and hypocritical "tribute" concert in Hyde Park to "honor" Brian.Although a lot of the feeble minded attendees of the concert may have been touched by their "final act of brotherhood" most people-especially the rock aristocracy-saw it for what it was-a feeble attempt to rid their conscience of the enormous amount of guilt they must have been feeling.To add even more farce to this event they had already firmly implanted Brian's replacement in the band-which the rock press and rock royalty hardly failed to notice as a further insulting slight to his memory.All in all the actions of Jagger and Richards will go down in the annals of rock as the most outrageous display of treachery,betrayal and disloyalty ever to sully the rock industry and Jagger and Richards will forever be the most shallow double crossing pseudo friends in the world of rock .
@Dane Cook exactly so, those of us who are intuitive can see and sense it, along with actual research and not lies
Derek Belbin .......it’s always a pleasure to read articulate and informed comments like yours and I couldn’t agree more. I was a Stone’s fan in Brian’s time and am both stunned and saddened at this “rewriting of history”. I too have watched the Stones story change (remarkably) over the years to better suit the “Glimmers” but anyone who has *truly* followed the band *knows* Brian was integral to their early sound. I loved Mick Taylor’s playing but after only a short while, all the original “colour” was completely gone, replaced by the repetitive, monotonous drone we’re hearing to this day. Brian was *infinitely* more important to the band than many would have us believe.
Derek. Spot on.
The Stones were finished after "Exile On Main Street".
Jagger and Richards didn't even have the good grace to acknowledge
the 50th anniversary of Brian's death. Not one single word.
That speaks volumes. Without him, they wouldn't have existed.
Brian Jones was my favorite Stone to look at in all their photos in all their albums. He was my favorite one to watch. Thanks for making this happen....awesome song to listen to while thinking of him too. Thanks so much!!!
Great video. No Jones no stones cause he’s not like everybody else,
“When I met [Brian Jones] I liked him quite a lot. He was a good fellow, you know. I got to know him very well, I think, and I felt very close to him; you know how it is with some people, you feel for them, feel near them. He was born February 28, 1943, and I was born on February 25, 1943, and he was with Mick and Keith and I was with John and Paul in the groups, so there was a sort of understanding between the two of us. The positions were similar, and I often seemed to meet him in his times of trouble. There was nothing the matter with him that a little extra love wouldn’t have cured. I don’t think he had enough love or understanding. He was very nice and sincere and sensitive, and we must remember that’s what he was.”
- George Harrison
Of course George would say that My other favorite Pisces guitarist from the 60s😘
Amen.
Such a great way to describe him, nobody could do it any better!
Sofía ......Brian was born in 1942. He died in 1969 aged 27.

The 27 club.
THE ORIGINAL ROLLING STONE. BRIAN JONES . FIRST STONE . FIRST REBEL . FIRST STAR . QUICK BLOOD . TOO QUICK . TOOK NO CRAP FROM NO ONE . FIRST GLAM ROCKER . HE LIVES IN US LIKE JIMI HENDRIX !
Don't forget to add abusive boyfriend and deadbeat dad to his list of accolades.
Sacrificed for fame
Amazing and Retro Footage of Brian Jones 1942-1969,Sadly Passed away at 27, So young. 😭😔✝️
A fantastic montage of Brian stills & live videos..to a classic Kinks song...
I've always loved the Stones, but the Brian Jones years were my favourite...such a talent lost to the world.
He was photogenic and he did constructively contribute to the band. However ego is not your amigo . The decency of his spirit was lacking,
Wow, one of the best videos ever. Made me cry.
Beautiful tribute to a legend - brilliant and heartbreaking !
Caught two Stones concerts, 1965 and 1966. My brother and I paid $3.75 for 4th row tickets. Brian was the visual focal point of the Stones. I can even remember what he wore. Sure Mick put on a great show, but not everyone can be the coolest cat in the world, as was Brian.
Beautiful Brian was envied and sadly underrated
He certainly was envied yes. It's sad reading these comments when there are so many haters bullying, criticing and name calling us fans that loved him and preferred the 'Jones Stones' era. Not cool guys. Case in point. The bully below who is harassing me now, and deleting his spite from the thread. The 3 of them are the same person. Bully sicko troll. His only contribution to threads is harassment to get attention.

Proof if there ever was that your opinions are invalid & you know zero about music.........such a clown
Rolling Stones bass guitarist Bill Wyman said of Jones, "He formed the band. He chose the members. He named the band. He chose the music we played. He got us gigs. ... he was very influential, very important, and then slowly lost it - highly intelligent - and just kind of wasted it and blew it all away."
It must be hard, being a genius
LasLupin Great compilation ! Thankyou
Great Video and Great Music, thanks
& It didn't help matters that Jagger & Richards turned on him.
Dries Van Dongen Must have been. Not in the beginning. When Anita Pallenburg came into the picture it changed him. I've watched old interviews of Brian & he seemed sensitive & almost shy. Not aggressive like the glimmer twins. So sad he must have been murdered. The police never made a real investigation either. Very strange. Such a great musician. I believe he would've had many more accomplishments if he had lived.
Thank you for posting this! Never paid much attention to him until recently. I like his style. He's far more animated and comfortable than Mick Taylor. I think both men were fantastically talented. I enjoy listening to them both.
Lara and Ginny...GREAT job at making a video that combines an iconic figure like Brian Jones with a tune from an equally influential band as The Kinks.
The two quotes by Ray and Dave Davies frame this tribute perfectly.
I could chime in about B Jones but everything that I would say has already been said.
I rarely hear accolades on the makers of these videos/tributes, once again good job!
Спасибо тебе, Brian! Ты формировал мой музыкальный вкус с раннего детства. Маленькая пластинка "Not fade away" and Tell me. Я помню тебя. ❤

Brian Jones , The first Stone , The stone with all the talent and ability . Yes , He may have been full of himself and made many a male enemy but as far as I’m concerned, when they lost Brian the Stones would never be the same or as good , per listen to Ruby Tuesday. No one can ever take Brian’s place . Sure , The Rolling Stones have been around for 50 years but they definitely aren’t the same without Mr Jones . RIP Brian
Well done and a personal touch with fave song by The kinks ✌️🌷🕊🎸
Wish I could have shared the same time and place with Sir Brian Jones. Truly one of a kind! Look what we're left with musically.....No comparison! Love you Brian Jones. Fucking drugs, money and fame. 3 deadly things in the world of a true artist. RIP!
I feel he blew it for himself. 👅👅👅👅💨💨💨💨💨
Probably the most talented Rolling Stone and probably will ever be. It's not wise to meet your heroes. You'll nearly always be disappointed.
Brian Jones era el alma de Los Rolling, me causó mucho dolor su muerte , tenía 16 años, aún se extraña
Así es la banda ya no fue la misma se volvió ruidosa le faltaba la creatividad de este músico lastima.
R.I.P. DEAR IDOL dead in tragic story,the stones,ARE the mirror in life,for you, greattings SINCE. jackyfan➕🔥thanks Brian in paradise stars. FOREVER.jackyfan born in 1954..... long time !!!!!
Dave Davies was spot on Brian oozed charisma and had talent to spare this brought a smile to my face.It disturbs me that the circumstances surrounding his death are shady.Thanks for sharing
Thanks Las Lupin saw "sympathy for the devil" by Jean-Luc Godard last winter Brian was in it if you've never seen it you're in for a ride but totally worth it lol☺
@BryantBenson-v6t I guess since I discovered the Rolling Stones work with him. Brian was a force of nature ❤️🕊️
Very enjoyable collection of Brian pictures and I like your choice of a Kinks song to go along with it. Well done.
Thank you!! Glad you liked it :)
These must be rare. A lot of these pictures and some video clips are new to me. I have not seen a lot of these and I thought I had seen some Rolling Stones pictures and videos. Wow, this is like rare, pure gold. Thanks.
Thank you for a first class salute, LasLupin, I just love this!
Here I am again! Great Kinks song u used!... describes Brian 100%... one in a million !!! ❤️👍🔥🇺🇸🙏🎶☮️🦊🧨
great job, perfect multidimensional collage of music history, thanks, joy to see and hear!
great compilation! didn't know there was so much footage of Brian Jones!
Poor Brian... he had so much talent! He’s still and always will be missed. He ruined himself but Anita didn’t help.
Thank you! So nice to see photos of Brian that show just how good looking he was.
Great video! Brian Jones should be inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame..
I agree with you!
LasLupin .......yes Brian should be forever remembered (and acknowledged) as “Founder” of The Rolling Stones. If only to put a stop to the Glimmers nasty habit of detracting from everything Brian ever did. Jagger even states in interviews that *he* (Jagger) started the band. Oh no you didn’t Mick, some of us remember.
@@lindadote aka the loon never shuts up
@@lindadoteyour right Brian doesn’t get the credit he deserves to this day Brian formed and named the stones he wanted them to play only Blues music Even Bill Wyman said Mick had nothing to do with forming the band he said Brian named me formed the band it’s a sad cry of what the stones became today there no longer the band we love now there a cooperation band doing it for the money selling out making collectables having concert and they can’t even sing anymore there’s only Mick and Keith left Ronnie wasn’t really a stone he was in the faces the band should have stopped after steel wheels
Ce morceau est magnifique. Bravo et merci de lui rendre hommage, lui par qui est né le plus grand groupe de rock toujours en mouvement.
Even Bo Diddley gave Brian a "thumbs up." 😉👍
And those who were around when the Stones first started come around in 62. Respect 😁
The beautiful Brian Jones...
@LasLupin : Beautiful Video! Thank You!!!
You can quote me on this... "No Brian Jones, no Rolling Stones! Know Brian Jones, know the Rolling Stones".
Lots of comments about Brian, all I know is that when I heard he had died I sat in the middle of Bristol and cried. First saw the Stones at Longleat House, Wiltshire UK in around August '64 and on every occasion since. there is no precedent for comparing a rock band then and now, just looking forward to their 60th anniversary.
PS: A true bluesman
Brian was always the pretty one of all The Rolling Stones ,I would have like to him live and gorgeous Lon,long,long strawberry hair swoon,AH.
Oh, Brian Jones... he was surely not like everybody else.
Great Kinks song to showcase stills and filming of Brian Jones and The Rolling Stones. How does one so young deal with fame, complicated relations in a band, and inner demons that we all have. The brain isn't fully developed until 25. From 25 to 30, it's a grace period. So many of the young artists during this time didn't make it to 30. Sad, really.
I was lucky enough to see him with The Stones in Seattle in 1966. Paul Revere and the Raiders opened for them. Epic!
To the Brian haters, he was a friend to many of his contemporary bands. He was a respected musician, also a producer and composer. Look it up. He also was the first and only Stone to play on a Beatles track. He played sax on You Know My Name. “[John] was disgusted and really, really pissed off that Brian had died the way that he did, thinking it was a terrible waste.”
John's death!
@@johnrogan9420 What?
He was murdered by a useless thug . Such a tragic waste
Supposedly Brian John Lennon and Hendrix where to get together and form a Super Group
Not only did he get stabbed in the back by his friends..that WAS HIS BAND..
Richards stole his girl..
JMYO
Brian was also the leader of this band without a doubt until Satisfaction written by Jagger&Richards in 1965. Since then Jagger has been the leader.
Very nice tribute. Love all those pictures. The song is very fitting as well.
April Garcia oh Brian. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Обожаю Брайана!!! Такой талант, харизма! Роллинги после его смерти лишились той изюминки, которую Брайан вносил в каждую их песню. Если бы Брайан был жив, сколько он бы ещё сделал!!!(((( Покойся с миром!
