The piano by Nicky Hopkins is pure genius. This same year, 1968, he played the piano break on The Beatles' "Revolution." I suspect that, in both instances, Hopkins was given the parameters of the songs and he came up with the parts on his own, much like Billy Preston did on the Let It Be sessions.
Yes!! It totally makes the sound of this so incredible . With Brian and all his most interesting ideas on any song just great! Saw Nicky with Jeff beck a few times early on.
Yes that's how it generally works when any session player is brought in to contribute to a recording. Unless it's a situation like say 3 horn players following a pre-written part so they are in sync. Definite thumbs up to Nicky Hopkins work and Billy Prestons work with both those bands!
Yeah they suffered all right. They became the world’s greatest rock n roll band without him and made some of the greatest music in history. He was an unreliable anchor
They "suffered" enormous success selling more hit albums and selling out arenas and venues all over the world immediately AFTER they got rid of Jones. Lots of bands would have loved to "suffer" like the Stones did in the early 70s.
@@krisscanlon4051 The problem was Jones never mastered ANY of the instruments he played. His single note repetitive parts were quite rudimentary and basic. That is when he was sober enough to play anything at all.

@@williardbillmore5713 In the context of the song overall, it combined with the sitar part actually makes for an electronic sound to the sound. As Keith put it, the song is very "up in the realms." The tanpura and sitar parts, and then along with Dave Mason on the shenai during the outro, helped make the song sound magic. A part doesn't need to be technically advanced to work on a track - else every guitarist should be Van Halen. Mason is only playing two notes on the outro, but it, along with the acoustic, the sitar, and tanpura all together create a musical tapestry.

I lost interest in the Stones after Brian’s departure. This excellent series of isolated BJ tracks really illustrates his creativity in filling out the band’s sound.
Really? Funny, he couldn’t even be counted on to contribute in the last part of his life. Most of the classic badass Stones albums came after he was gone….

He has. It is way cool because I believed the rumor they just gave him a credit so he got paid and that there is no autoharp. Brian Jones Resource proved the autoharp is there! Still can't really hear it on my ancient vinyl but I know it really is there,
It ultimately had his heart and soul ripped up by the glimmer twins. Stole his love of his life abd stole his band. Didn’t help that he deteriorated as this was happening. But friends which they were not was supposed to be there for him. It appears they were not. Very sad
@@toniwertman4818 he was just a miserable person that ruined every relationship he had. Beat women - documented, fathered several out of wedlock kids and did not support them. He added some color to the mid sixties songs but never was capable of writing anything - verified by Bill and Charlie Andrew, Dave Hassinger, Ian Stewart and anyone close to the band. He died young so his talent tends to be overstated as always is the case like Gram Parsons and others.He is solely responsible for his drug abuse which led to multiple arrests, missed gigs, missed studio time, depression’ paranoia and his ejection from the band he founded
@@flyingburritobro68 agreed to everything you said. However. If he was their mate at one point in time maybe they could’ve done more . True though Some people are meant to self destruct.
The picture shows a sitar which he plays on another song. The tanpura is about the same size with very few knobs. It is a cool sounding drone instrument that is often substituted by apps, which you can download.
Without Brian's exotic embellishments added to Mick and Keith's songs in the 60s, the stones would have been just another British invasion band lost in the crowd, along with less well known bands like the Yardbirds and the Kinks. Every boomer knows, No Jones, No Stones.
You cant quite dismiss the yardbirds quite like that. Most influential rock band of all time and without them no zeppelin, sabbath or every other rock band that followed. Plus the small matter of Page, Beck and Clapton.
Because of Brian, he's the reason why I decided to take a long break from the 6-string to explore different instruments from different cultures and places. I discovered many instruments such as the doshpuluur (Tuva), shamisen (Japan), and even the contrabass balalaika (Russia).
Who play’s the prominent guitar figure on The Stones records. Keith answered, “I played it on Satisfaction, Brian played it on The Last Time. It all depends on who thinks it up”. According to Keith Brian came up with the riff.
Speaking shortly after Jones' death, Richards said that most of the guitarist's pitfalls lay in his inability to gel with the band towards the end, saying, “Because he's dead, I could say, 'Oh, Brian was a fantastic musician', but it wasn't true. Brian wasn't a great musician
It is an interesting tiny detail here and there with the sitar, but is not isolated, as we could here the signature rhythm of Richards guitar and the loyal, steady and impacting presence of Charlie Watts beat
Brian Jones ✨ fondateur et multi instrumentistes 🎸 des Rolling stones début année 1962. 1969, ne a Cheltenham le 28fevrier 1942, merci beaucoup mon dandy artistique.🙏💝🎹🎼🎸🌃
Genious, the Stones were never the same after him!! Jagger was very Jeluos of his talents, unfortunately Geniouses are very fragile, and he broke down! But his music still inspire us!
In Richard Lloyd's memoir, "Everything Is Combustible," he wrote that he was hanging out one day at Keith's house, and when Mick came over to visit, and took one look at him, he did a double take.
True, and as I said in the description it was hard to get a good isolation for this one, there's just too much going on with all the instruments. My Get Off Of My Cloud and Satisfaction isolations are closer to "true" isolations.
BJ the director, creator, innovator but people had other plans. Yip , we will never know how his rolling stone band would have manifested into other dimensions though. Opportunities missed.
@@michealcurrie8272 It is well understood that Jones, curiously, never wrote a single song in his entire career as a Rolling Stone. What makes anyone think that he would have suddenly become "creative" as an ex Stone if he had not died?
I was very anti-Brian before listening to all of these isolated Brian tracks. Many parts I attributed to the genius of keith are actually Brian as it turns out.
The idea for the mix was Keith's, with the overdriven acoustic and sitar used almost like a chorus pedal in the background. It's not like the brilliant sitar playing is what makes the song. It's the overall texture, which was KEEF... Brian was high as a Georgia Pine, not crafting the records at this point
Yes! You’re absolutely correct. It was Mr. Richard’s who experimented with placing a microphone from a portable Norelco cassette player into an acoustic guitar, to get the texture of the main strumming sound of this song.
They would have been just basic band members if it wasn't for Jones. He polished them. And the were both turned down once by Jones to be bandmates til he said ok the second time. If Brian was no talent then why did they act like mad dogs on a meat truck to get with him.
@@corinnetodd4807 Yeah and in the next episode they picked on him constantly making him collapse weeping into Anita Pallenberg's arms (as she tells it). There was a lot of unhealthy stuff going on in that band. But in the end the G.Twins wrote the songs. I'm not saying he was nothing, but a songwriter he was not.
@@clintonorman2859 yeah as she tells it lol. There were alot of songs where him and later Mick Taylor were not given credit for. Jones was asked to write and compose music for a film. He wasn't confident in song writing skills but M and K didn't have any til they were locked together and made to. Like I said in other comments. The instrument part of a song can make or break lyrics. You can have good lyrics but if the arrangement sucks so does the song and visa versa. Many attest to not being given credit once the evil twins took over. Just like Frey and Henley.
@@corinnetodd4807 Well, believe whatever you want. At the end of the day, we know what Mick and Keith did without Brian... and it was a success. We don't know what Brian would do without them because he never did. To me it's like Levon Helm. He trash talks Robbie for thirty years as if Robbie is stopping him from doing whatever the hell music he wants to on his own. Because in the end he needed Robbie to write songs for him. Same with the Talking Heads. Bad mouth David Byrne, and his successful songwriting, for decade after decade while you sit on your ass doing nothing. Brian could have had his own career apart from them but instead he drank his way to the bottom of a pool. Then everyone says he's the better musician? Please. He had two feet like everybody else, he could have stood on them. As for evil twins... I think all three of those guys are pretty "evil" isn't that why we love them?
@@basura2001 The guy that writes the music is the band leader not the one with the biggest ego. Brian was good but no more special than the others. imo.
There is so much going on in this track that most listeners never probably even are aware of. The drone of the tambura is like a hangover from the psychedelic days of 1967 and Nicky Hopkins' piano fills are just classic. If the idiots running ABKCO wake up - call me and I will tell you how to do justice to the Stone's catalogue that has been wasted all these decades. Time is running out demographically Jody.
Of course the way to get them to call you for advice is to publicly brand them as idiots and suggest while they are handling a song catalog worth hundreds of millions they see the error of their ways and contact you!? Seriously though, it's easy for any Stones or Beatles fan to dislike Allen Klein or ABKCO on some level. How do you honestly feel they are mishandling the portion of the Stones catalog they control?
@@kenkinnally6144 I don’t expect a call it is called “rhetoric.” But seriously, Apple took too long but they did get Anthology out. Now, in fairness, ABKCO beat them all with Metamorphosis in 1975! ABKCO continues to reissue Stone’s albums with no bonus tracks! The Stones have the second greatest catalogue in music and they do nothing with it. Let’s at least follow Apple’s lead and get out expansive box sets for each album. The Beatles (AKA White Album) is a perfect example of how to do it right for the fans. Now, also in fairness, I am not privy to the deal ABKCO has as far as their ability to release unreleased material without the Stone’s approval. Maybe there is some impasse that I am just not aware of. Either way both parties are leaving a lot of cash on the table for decades now.
@@nanchanger Holding it back as the market (i.e., primarily Boomers ages and the demand will not be there as it once was). It's called "bad business decisions."
I know he had his folly and wasnt that great of a person in his personal life, but to me, he made the stones what they were. After he left, and was killed and gone, that band never sounded the same. They didnt hit the same, so I lost interest in them. Notice a lot of their live shows thru the decades, they play the same Jones-era songs. Cus those were their best songs
Really ? There would be no Stones if it weren't for Jagger. There woulsd be no Stones if there were no Keith. Its that simple. The Stones didn't cease to exsist because Brian died. I was a huge Brian fan when they first came to America. I had the same hair, striepd colorless shirts, everything down to the jazz shoes. But theres no getting around it, the Stones did not end when he died. Now, heaven forbid, if it had been Jagger or Keith who left us there would be no Stones. Hell, I feel that was about Bill and Charlie too. The Stones continued on after Bill left but there was something missing. Bill was an inventive, creative bass player within the group. Not many rock bands in the 50s and 60s had bass lines as cool as Bills. Charlies drumming wasn't Bonham-like, But just like Ringo, they came up with creative drum tracks that just made the songs (I include this one), fit so perfectly. And you know who is playing the second you hear the tracks too. 'Signature' playing. RIP Charlie. Unreplaceable. I know "But what about Baker, Bonham, Copeland, Peart etcetc ?". I don't think any of them would have made the Stones any better. With these classic rock bands its like something otherworldy threw them together. I can't think of any of them on their own sounding nearly as good as when a part of their original band, including McCartney and Lennon. I don't want to disrespect Brian but, sorry to say, I don't think he was around long enough.
@@richardtater7945 I'm saying that in my opinion the stones werent as good or memorable with groundbreaking music after Jones was out. He organized the band in the early 60s and made it what it was. If it wasnt for him there would be no Keith or jagger duo really.. It was Jones' band and he let them join and they pretty much hijacked it from him with their egos... Again, my opinion.
@@richardtater7945 also, Jones heavily influenced and changed what was a modest regular personality Keith Richards from the early 60s to the crazy rockstar we all know. So you cant really undermine Jones, he was always the influence in the cut. He deserves his credit.
I read somewhere that Charlie Watts used a mini suitcase drum set for this song it was Keith's idea to just grab a Tom drum that was lying around and beat on it for that extra drum effect

Nicky Hopkins brilliant piano on the coda can not be described as anything but "furious"... It adds so much to the feeling of violence and immediacy reflected in Mick's genius lyrics.
He’s just plucking open strings. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great idea and adds a beautiful texture, but it’s not quite the genius you’d believe from this comments section! Is there a sax drone in there too?
All that can be heard of the tanpura is a one note drone played twice on each chorus. The song's accomaniment is mainly Keith's crisp bright rhythms played on his acoustic hummingbird and Nicky Hopkins furious piano on the chorus. The descending bass line ending each chorus is a much more integral part of the song than than the two note tanpura drone, that frankly you need to strain to hear at all... Guess who played the bass guitar on this Stones classic, BTW... Keith Richards.... Not Bill Wyman.
Can c y the ROLLING STONES bumped PRINCE off of their 1981 tour: prince reminded the stones of Brian jones! By was probably the 1st r n r multi instrumentalist in a rock band.
Fun fact: When Keith Richards wrote this song the inspiration for the musical interval repeated over and over of a raised fourth in the guitar chords and the sung melody, is the same musical interval and tempo of a European police siren. It is the sound most commonly accompanying a street riot. Musical genius at work here. Once you know this fact you can not ignore it whenever you hear this song. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Sure why not ignore the genius of the two guys who wrote this masterpiece and gush endlessly over the drunk with the fluffy blonde hair who played two of the same notes per coda on an instrument he couldn't really play. That makes perfect sense .
The only solution of Brian's murder is: Lewis Brian Hopkin Jones born 1942.02.28 = Otto Wilhelm Rahn resigned from SS EXACTLY 3YEARS before: 1939.02.28 !
So that is not Keith on acoustic guitar?Keith cannot be heard on this isolated track? Of course you can clearly Nicky’s piano and Dave Mason on the reed instrument.So no audible Keith
Brian truly makes this song come alive.
The piano by Nicky Hopkins is pure genius. This same year, 1968, he played the piano break on The Beatles' "Revolution." I suspect that, in both instances, Hopkins was given the parameters of the songs and he came up with the parts on his own, much like Billy Preston did on the Let It Be sessions.

its interesting, with an extremely strange set of lyrics, but Street Fighting Man works better in the chorus
Lol
What a time that was. The music was just the soundtrack.
Man, could Charlie drive that band or what?!
Watts, Jones, Hopkins.
Whew!
Incredible 🎉
Brian Jones was the crazy genius who created the rolling stones like Sid Barrett created pink Floyd.
Jagger/Richards songwriting chops helped.
What a good comparison, my friend
It ultimately had his heart and soul ripped up by the glimmer twins. Stole his love of his life abd stole his band. Didn’t help that he deteriorated as this was happening. But friends which they were not was supposed to be there for him. It appears they were not. Very sad
@@toniwertman4818 he was just a miserable person that ruined every relationship he had. Beat women - documented, fathered several out of wedlock kids and did not support them. He added some color to the mid sixties songs but never was capable of writing anything - verified by Bill and Charlie Andrew, Dave Hassinger, Ian Stewart and anyone close to the band. He died young so his talent tends to be overstated as always is the case like Gram Parsons and others.He is solely responsible for his drug abuse which led to multiple arrests, missed gigs, missed studio time, depression’ paranoia and his ejection from the band he founded
@@flyingburritobro68 agreed to everything you said. However. If he was their mate at one point in time maybe they could’ve done more . True though Some people are meant to self destruct.
Genius
The picture shows a sitar which he plays on another song. The tanpura is about the same size with very few knobs. It is a cool sounding drone instrument that is often substituted by apps, which you can download.
ADMIRADO BRIAN JONES,CON INSTRUMENTOS INDIOS,MUCHO MAS,JAMAS NADIE TE OLVIDARA.
@Famulus Tanpura is like a sitar but with less strings. That drum sound is called a tambora if that’s what you calling out in this isolation.
I prefer Brian era Stones to the 70's and beyond. They really became a bit of a parody after that.
worse than parody and should be banned to use the name and old songs!
Este tipo era un genio.
El mejor Rolling Stone que tuvo el grupo.
Prueba de ellos es su multifaceta como músico, fantástico.
Don't know what you said but it's probably pretty cool
Without Brian's exotic embellishments added to Mick and Keith's songs in the 60s, the stones would have been just another British invasion band lost in the crowd, along with less well known bands like the Yardbirds and the Kinks. Every boomer knows, No Jones, No Stones.
Kinks were on a level very near the Stones. Especially in the songwriting category.
Yes.
Yup Brian was a true musician who pushed the envelope
TRUTH, sitar, dulcimer, slide...etc
You cant quite dismiss the yardbirds quite like that. Most influential rock band of all time and without them no zeppelin, sabbath or every other rock band that followed. Plus the small matter of Page, Beck and Clapton.
Brian Jones started the Rolling Stones and both Bill Wyman and the late, Ian Stewart agee with me regardless of what the Glimmer Twins say.
This version sounds so good cranked up in my car!
I liked Brian's sitar and Guitar horns added lot to songs.
Great to hear Nicky Hopkins too.
Because of Brian, he's the reason why I decided to take a long break from the 6-string to explore different instruments from different cultures and places. I discovered many instruments such as the doshpuluur (Tuva), shamisen (Japan), and even the contrabass balalaika (Russia).
Brian Jones just looked cool if nothing else 😎 plus he started the Stones. 🥌
Piano is whats amazing ..Tamboura is just swiping your fingers across the strings.
Oh that easy huh,placement speed,timing means nothing?
Who play’s the prominent guitar figure on The Stones records.
Keith answered, “I played it on Satisfaction, Brian played it on The Last Time. It all depends on who thinks it up”.
According to Keith Brian came up with the riff.
Speaking shortly after Jones' death, Richards said that most of the guitarist's pitfalls lay in his inability to gel with the band towards the end, saying, “Because he's dead, I could say, 'Oh, Brian was a fantastic musician', but it wasn't true. Brian wasn't a great musician
It is an interesting tiny detail here and there with the sitar, but is not isolated, as we could here the signature rhythm of Richards guitar and the loyal, steady and impacting presence of Charlie Watts beat
Brian Jones ✨ fondateur et multi instrumentistes 🎸 des Rolling stones début année 1962. 1969, ne a Cheltenham le 28fevrier 1942, merci beaucoup mon dandy artistique.🙏💝🎹🎼🎸🌃
Street finting Man très belle interprétation merci beaucoup the rolling stones sans oublier le fondateur de ce groupe Rock irremplaçable ..
Thank you.
R.I.P Brian Jones❤️
February 28th 1942-July 3rd 1969
He was 3 days younger than George Harrison
Genious, the Stones were never the same after him!! Jagger was very Jeluos of his talents, unfortunately Geniouses are very fragile, and he broke down! But his music still inspire us!
Jeluos? Really?
Paul Trynka lied to you.
That’s Keith Richards playing guitar.
Yep
In Richard Lloyd's memoir, "Everything Is Combustible," he wrote that he was hanging out one day at Keith's house, and when Mick came over to visit, and took one look at him, he did a double take.
w/e that means
Really
@@ursulaplatt5000 😅
Madame joy-george is a homage to Mr Jones I do believe so. Van Morrison
Not really isolated, just the track without vocals...still interesting tho
True, and as I said in the description it was hard to get a good isolation for this one, there's just too much going on with all the instruments. My Get Off Of My Cloud and Satisfaction isolations are closer to "true" isolations.
BJ the director, creator, innovator but people had other plans. Yip , we will never know how his rolling stone band would have manifested into other dimensions though. Opportunities missed.
He was no longer in the band when he died, but had he lived he'd have created some fascinating music that's for sure.
Truer words have never been spoken.
Sorry but BJ, as you oddly like to call him, never created or directed ANYTHING in the Stones.
@@williardbillmore5713 it's his initials. Probability, for sure, neither did you.
@@michealcurrie8272 It is well understood that Jones, curiously, never wrote a single song in his entire career as a Rolling Stone. What makes anyone think that he would have suddenly become "creative" as an ex Stone if he had not died?
I was very anti-Brian before listening to all of these isolated Brian tracks. Many parts I attributed to the genius of keith are actually Brian as it turns out.
Welcome!❤
Street finting man Merci BRIAN
Yes remaster and clean up his parts. He's always the most exciting musician. Including your great Hopkins.
Brian Jones made them the Rolling Stones. He named the group. He taught Mick how to play harmonica.
The idea for the mix was Keith's, with the overdriven acoustic and sitar used almost like a chorus pedal in the background. It's not like the brilliant sitar playing is what makes the song. It's the overall texture, which was KEEF... Brian was high as a Georgia Pine, not crafting the records at this point
Yes! You’re absolutely correct. It was Mr. Richard’s who experimented with placing a microphone from a portable Norelco cassette player into an acoustic guitar, to get the texture of the main strumming sound of this song.
They would have been just basic band members if it wasn't for Jones. He polished them. And the were both turned down once by Jones to be bandmates til he said ok the second time. If Brian was no talent then why did they act like mad dogs on a meat truck to get with him.
@@corinnetodd4807 Yeah and in the next episode they picked on him constantly making him collapse weeping into Anita Pallenberg's arms (as she tells it). There was a lot of unhealthy stuff going on in that band. But in the end the G.Twins wrote the songs. I'm not saying he was nothing, but a songwriter he was not.
@@clintonorman2859 yeah as she tells it lol. There were alot of songs where him and later Mick Taylor were not given credit for. Jones was asked to write and compose music for a film. He wasn't confident in song writing skills but M and K didn't have any til they were locked together and made to. Like I said in other comments. The instrument part of a song can make or break lyrics. You can have good lyrics but if the arrangement sucks so does the song and visa versa. Many attest to not being given credit once the evil twins took over. Just like Frey and Henley.
@@corinnetodd4807 Well, believe whatever you want. At the end of the day, we know what Mick and Keith did without Brian... and it was a success. We don't know what Brian would do without them because he never did. To me it's like Levon Helm. He trash talks Robbie for thirty years as if Robbie is stopping him from doing whatever the hell music he wants to on his own. Because in the end he needed Robbie to write songs for him. Same with the Talking Heads. Bad mouth David Byrne, and his successful songwriting, for decade after decade while you sit on your ass doing nothing. Brian could have had his own career apart from them but instead he drank his way to the bottom of a pool. Then everyone says he's the better musician? Please. He had two feet like everybody else, he could have stood on them. As for evil twins... I think all three of those guys are pretty "evil" isn't that why we love them?

@@basura2001 :-D
Of what? An asshole with good timing, please.
@@basura2001 The guy that writes the music is the band leader not the one with the biggest ego. Brian was good but no more special than the others. imo.
How do you remove vocals? anyone know?
There is so much going on in this track that most listeners never probably even are aware of. The drone of the tambura is like a hangover from the psychedelic days of 1967 and Nicky Hopkins' piano fills are just classic. If the idiots running ABKCO wake up - call me and I will tell you how to do justice to the Stone's catalogue that has been wasted all these decades. Time is running out demographically Jody.
Of course the way to get them to call you for advice is to publicly brand them as idiots and suggest while they are handling a song catalog worth hundreds of millions they see the error of their ways and contact you!?
Seriously though, it's easy for any Stones or Beatles fan to dislike Allen Klein or ABKCO on some level. How do you honestly feel they are mishandling the portion of the Stones catalog they control?
@@kenkinnally6144 I don’t expect a call it is called “rhetoric.” But seriously, Apple took too long but they did get Anthology out. Now, in fairness, ABKCO beat them all with Metamorphosis in 1975! ABKCO continues to reissue Stone’s albums with no bonus tracks! The Stones have the second greatest catalogue in music and they do nothing with it. Let’s at least follow Apple’s lead and get out expansive box sets for each album. The Beatles (AKA White Album) is a perfect example of how to do it right for the fans. Now, also in fairness, I am not privy to the deal ABKCO has as far as their ability to release unreleased material without the Stone’s approval. Maybe there is some impasse that I am just not aware of. Either way both parties are leaving a lot of cash on the table for decades now.
@@kenkinnally6144 by holding it back, obviously...
@@nanchanger Holding it back as the market (i.e., primarily Boomers ages and the demand will not be there as it once was). It's called "bad business decisions."
@@marcbolan1818 maybe they're sadists...
I know he had his folly and wasnt that great of a person in his personal life, but to me, he made the stones what they were. After he left, and was killed and gone, that band never sounded the same. They didnt hit the same, so I lost interest in them. Notice a lot of their live shows thru the decades, they play the same Jones-era songs. Cus those were their best songs
Really ? There would be no Stones if it weren't for Jagger. There woulsd be no Stones if there were no Keith. Its that simple. The Stones didn't cease to exsist because Brian died. I was a huge Brian fan when they first came to America. I had the same hair, striepd colorless shirts, everything down to the jazz shoes. But theres no getting around it, the Stones did not end when he died. Now, heaven forbid, if it had been Jagger or Keith who left us there would be no Stones. Hell, I feel that was about Bill and Charlie too. The Stones continued on after Bill left but there was something missing. Bill was an inventive, creative bass player within the group. Not many rock bands in the 50s and 60s had bass lines as cool as Bills. Charlies drumming wasn't Bonham-like, But just like Ringo, they came up with creative drum tracks that just made the songs (I include this one), fit so perfectly. And you know who is playing the second you hear the tracks too. 'Signature' playing. RIP Charlie. Unreplaceable.
I know "But what about Baker, Bonham, Copeland, Peart etcetc ?". I don't think any of them would have made the Stones any better. With these classic rock bands its like something otherworldy threw them together. I can't think of any of them on their own sounding nearly as good as when a part of their original band, including McCartney and Lennon.
I don't want to disrespect Brian but, sorry to say, I don't think he was around long enough.
@@richardtater7945 I'm saying that in my opinion the stones werent as good or memorable with groundbreaking music after Jones was out. He organized the band in the early 60s and made it what it was. If it wasnt for him there would be no Keith or jagger duo really.. It was Jones' band and he let them join and they pretty much hijacked it from him with their egos... Again, my opinion.
@@richardtater7945 also, Jones heavily influenced and changed what was a modest regular personality Keith Richards from the early 60s to the crazy rockstar we all know. So you cant really undermine Jones, he was always the influence in the cut. He deserves his credit.
I just say those who have ears hear it. The rest of you chumps good luck
@@heart_of_Plutoyour opinion is the same with mine...
I read somewhere that Charlie Watts used a mini suitcase drum set for this song it was Keith's idea to just grab a Tom drum that was lying around and beat on it for that extra drum effect
I've seen the drum set at the Stones exhibit, it's amazing. Sounds like a native American hand drum.
I Rolling Stones senza brian sono diventati commerciali e senza anima! Chissà dove sarebbe arrivato se non fosse stato ucciso.
Keith on bass.
🎧✨
No era que Brian Jones no había tocado nada otra prueba más de que Brian Jones componía por eso en el libro de Bill solo stones Brian Jones dice me robaron mi música mí grupo y mí amor Marian faifull Jorge Marilyn Gayarre Argentina saludos
Brian Jones, Nicky Hopkins, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts. That in its self need say more ??
I love Mick T. but IMO Beggar’s Banqet was the best rock and roll album ever made.
No one contests that Brian had very little to do with it though.
@@clintonorman2859 for one album to have Sympathy for the Devil, Stray Cat Blues, Street Fighting Man is over the top. Let it Bleed is the only album that even comes close, but it still can’t beat Beggar’s Banquet IMO. And then Sticky Fingers comes out … if I was around back then, my head would have exploded.
@@jacqemmet1764 Yes I agree but Bleed comes very very close with Gimmie Shelter alone, Midnight Rambler, Monkey Man... to do these two albums in two years, what the hell was in the water back then?? "Wait... can't tour this record yet... gotta record another classic one real fast, then tour..." man alive!!!
@@clintonorman2859 gimme shelter for sure if forced to give one single fav. in studio track then sympathy, wild horses, jumpin jack flash, street fighting man, stray cat blues, satisfaction, midnight rambler … next tier for me would be paint it black, brown sugar, dead flowers, monkey man, happy, mother’s little helper, under my thumb, I’m free, etc.
I recall reading that M. Taylor said BB was his favorite Stones album.
The sane cats kept the groove on. Fantastic. Now work
Fucking Nicky Hopkins. Killed on this one. As usual.
What kind of acoustic guitar did Keef use here?
My rooster crowed @52 sec and i thought it was in the damn song.
This might actually be not SFM but "Pay Your Dues".
Once again Brian plays the main instrumental part.
That’s Keith Richards you’re hearing.
I'd say the Guitar and Piano is more important to this track than the sitar or tanpura but that's just me.
@@gigagod3384the shrimp tanpura was tasty I’ll admit 🤓👻
To anyone who thinks Charlie Watts was just a so-so drummer....
Yes he and Bill Wyman best percussion in RnR history.
Yes… Brian was a significant musician… but Seconal and acid takes its toll… RIP BJ…😮
Nicky Hopkins brilliant piano on the coda can not be described as anything but "furious"...
It adds so much to the feeling of violence and immediacy reflected in Mick's genius lyrics.
He’s just plucking open strings. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great idea and adds a beautiful texture, but it’s not quite the genius you’d believe from this comments section! Is there a sax drone in there too?
Brian did enhanced so many richards ' crap songs only by the choice of instrument on the counterparts....
💛🌱🌾🙄
All that can be heard of the tanpura is a one note drone played twice on each chorus.
The song's accomaniment is mainly Keith's crisp bright rhythms played on his acoustic hummingbird and Nicky Hopkins furious piano on the chorus. The descending bass line ending each chorus is a much more integral part of the song than than the two note tanpura drone, that frankly you need to strain to hear at all...
Guess who played the bass guitar on this Stones classic, BTW...
Keith Richards.... Not Bill Wyman.
Can c y the ROLLING STONES bumped PRINCE off of their 1981 tour: prince reminded the stones of Brian jones! By was probably the 1st r n r multi instrumentalist in a rock band.
Fun fact: When Keith Richards wrote this song the inspiration for the musical interval repeated over and over of a raised fourth in the guitar chords and the sung melody, is the same musical interval and tempo of a European police siren. It is the sound most commonly accompanying a street riot.
Musical genius at work here.
Once you know this fact you can not ignore it whenever you hear this song.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Never Mind, it sounds great without Mick squawking away for once...
Sure why not ignore the genius of the two guys who wrote this masterpiece and gush endlessly over the drunk with the fluffy blonde hair who played two of the same notes per coda on an instrument he couldn't really play.
That makes perfect sense .
calm down 😊
@@dcarlisle123 You calm down.
I'm sick of this shit. Jones was no genius and he was a poser and a slacker.
The only solution of Brian's murder is: Lewis Brian Hopkin Jones born 1942.02.28 = Otto Wilhelm Rahn resigned from SS EXACTLY 3YEARS before: 1939.02.28 !
So that is not Keith on acoustic guitar?Keith cannot be heard on this isolated track? Of course you can clearly Nicky’s piano and Dave Mason on the reed instrument.So no audible Keith
