Keith was involved in a car accident the day before the funeral. Mick was under contract for filming in Australia. I guess they could just have layed that to a side, right? 😂
i agree, Brian was not a good guy, but Bill and Charlie going to the funeral was common decency. Jagger could not attend because he was in Australia, Richards was in the hospital after he got hit by a car.
Said it before - without Jones Jagger would be a retired accountant in Surrey now and Richards would be a fork-lift truck driver in Dartford playing in pub bands on a Saturday night
Don’t show your lack of knowledge, if Brian Jones had remained with the band The Rolling Stones would have never reached the heights they did, Jagger and Richards were and are the Stones, written 500 or more songs that are still played today at their concerts which are sold out in hours worldwide. Brian Jones apart from being a great musician was also a serious addict and that is what caused him to leave The Rolling Stones not Micks jealousy
'lack of knowledge'? I've followed the Stones for over 45 years. 'the heights they did'? The Stones are little more than a tribute band now and have done nothing original since the seventies. Jones was never an addict although of course the Kent Forklift truck driver was. What caused him to leave was that he wanted to be blues musician and Jagger & Richards wanted to be pop stars. Without his influence they would have been merely another sixties flash in the pan band largely unheard of today. Read a book mate.
tnimbus - what really did Brian in was that blues had been the love of his life and when the band he had begun with such high hopes starting turning away from that genre he really began to lose it. Oldham played a role in that as well. From about 1967 on he was functioning in another world because the real one had become too painful. I always say Brian died from a broken heart, literally and figuratively.
Except that he wasn't. It was all a lie . Jones asked Keith if he could join Keith's band the Blue Blue Boys seven months after they were founded The Blue Boys changed their name to the Rollin Stones. Brian wasn't even a founding member of the band that BECAME the Rolling Stones The ORIGINAL Rolling Stones were decidedly Mick and Keith.
@@williardbillmore5713 Lol is that you Frank Thorogood, Tom Keylock, or maybe Whack job Joe Biden/LIEden? your BS post is The LIE! Brian Jones had more Musicianship then the rest of the Stones put together. He named The Band, was the Band spokesman, and initially managed the Band, and booked their early Gigs understandably taking a bit larger cut of the money. That didn't sit well with the others, especially with the Ego Glimmer Twins Mick & Keef. But sadly Brian did more or less self destruct. KR was/is a pretty Cold Fish by his own admission from a pretty stoic, emotionally devoid family. If Brian would have lived and formed his own band he might have called it The Rolling Jones, or The Trolling Stones.
They took his leadership role and relegated him to basically a session player. Why would he want to contribute after that. Unfortunately his personality wasnt strong enough to whip them in line. Dont know what kind of deal they had with Oldham but I would have fired his ass for starters. As soon as he showed up things started going bad. Should have told that guy his job was getting gigs and thats it.
100% Keith Ronnie and Mick super jealous of Brain Jones thay kill him and blamed the drugs hes was lossing his grip on life. Keith really submise oh Brain Jones was a weak mental case .Keith was that ugly he was lucky he got famous because he couldn't get a root in a whore house with a wallet full of $100 bills .
@@james---b You and I have sure an end! Nobody knows us! Brian Jones was the founder of the Stones! His name stays in history forever, and so the Rolling Stones! Have a nice day!
He was his own worst enemy. It was evident even long before he even got the Stones started. And the. It spiraled downwards at lightning speed. And it was all his own doing. Dont go looking for blame elsewhere. Who would have thought Keith Richard made it through to this day?🐝
@@tomwheeler6760 I shake my head at all you Brian worshipers who were not even born when the poser faked his way through seven years on the backs of Keith and Mick's talents. Not only do you people lie about who he was what he could do but you overlook the awful way he treated his own offsprings. He was phoney and a horrible person.
in my opinion Brian was the founder of Stones.., he was a real bluesman & he also gave the name of the band from Muddy Waters's song tittle... I really love every songs he wrote, full of character & gave the color of Stones in modern music industry 'till right now... we miss u Brian... never forget u...!!!
Completely agree Honey! Keith ripped off Brian's tunings, and lied when he said he got them from Ry Cooder! The best years were with Brian. Mick and Keith were both jealous of Brian, and with the help of manager Andrew Oldham; conspired to rip the band away from him.
@@lefrauens Brian did not "audition " or "hire" anyone in the Stones. It is a lie to say that he did. Jones myths are prevalent , but they are not true. Brian and Ian JOINED Keith's band the Blue Boys. Brian Jones founded NOTHING!
It is a sad story.... Brian was a very gifted, natural musician who was, in the early days of the band anyway, its essence. You can't mistake the genuine sadness in their voices when they speak about his spiralling down and finally out. RIP Jonesy, you are missed.
There was no love lost. Jagger & Richards turned on him and stoled his band. Then a few weeks later, Brian is murdered in his pool. Hmmm Who would have benefited from it? They probably paid someone to kill Brian.
Don't believe there was true sadness. Wyman and Watts were the only two 'Stones who went to Brian's funeral. The other two had pressing engagements, contract obligations..a lot of rubbish..if they'd had really cared they woulda shoulda coulda been there.
Brian Jones formed the RollingStones back in 1962, he chose Mick Jagger , Keith because they were at Alexis Korner's blues club hanging out and listening to Brian play slide guitar to Dust my broom and other delta blues tunes. Charlie Watts was there at the Ealing club as a drummer. Then Brian put an ad in a Jazz local newspaper for a bass player and along comes Bill Wyman who was a little older than the others and had served in the Koren war in the late 50's early 60's, was already in a band and owned 2 amps , plus lots of ciggs , was too cool , he was in immediately!! In the very beginning Brian, Keith & Mick shared a flat at 102 Edith Grove Ave., they did alot of their jamming and their flat - mate James Flegh whom their group compositions were named after partly under a pseudonymn - Nanker Plegh, excuse typo on James's last name! Most of these friends have written books about the Stones if you care to google to obtain more info.. Brian was the group's manager , the title belonged to him, their interim manager after this was Georgeo Glomelsky owner of the Crawdaddy club in the Station hotel in Richmond.. Brian was light years ahead of the other bandmates because of his early musical training , both his parents Lewis and Louisa Jones were very musical having met in a Welsh methodist church, both boasted an impressive musical aptitude.. Louisa was an accomplished pianist, who taught piano lessons in their home. Brian was taught piano by his mom, they encouraged him to excell , having bought him a clarinette, plus a guitar in his very early teens..
Alexis Korner had advised Brian not to pick both Mick and Keith there was a danger that they would take the band over made a lot of sense in light of how it went down Brian was doomed once Eric Easton was out as manager and Oldham took over early on there were rumors that Brian was going to quit the stones Brian himself said first they took my music then they took my band and then they took my love I think Brian began to reject them in retaliation for how they rejected him they bullied him early on as one story when they were on the way to a gig and he wanted to stop at a pharmacy I believe it was they drove off and left him ...some way to treat your bandmate they undermine his confidence at every turn instead of encouraging him that's from marianne faithful imagine what they could have done over the years if they had nurtured him instead he truly was brilliant go to UA-cam Peter Townsend roasted them with his induction speech at the rock and roll hall of fame brilliant! Keith resentful that Anita Pallenberg never got over Brian after they kicked Brian out Mick in particular tracked Brian's activities as Bill mentioned it was really uncertain as to whether or not the Rolling Stones could go on without Brian he was the most popular stone in Germany and Scandinavia curiously Steve Marriott considered by M&K as a replacement for Brian once Marriot started to sing at his audition it ended abruptly as fate would have it Marriott had been considering Brian to be in Humble Pie IMO that was too much for the Dimmer Twins to handle Humble Pie with Brian could easily have outshined the Stones and usher in Brian's return to the blues and R& B Alexis had told Brian that ship had sailed too late to go back to the roots of the Stones music Steve Marriott himself uttered the words Brian considered for Humble Pie was in play before he was murdered (Steve's words) I believe the Rolling Stones and Keith were concerned about competing with Brian in another band Brian was good friends with Steve winwood Brian turned Steve winwood on to his first acid trip could you imagine Brian in Traffic? I certainly can also rumored was Jimi Hendrix John Lennon Brian Jones in a super group if Mick and Keith weren't responsible certainly others in their circle and various sycophants might have plotted against Brian for certain Allen Klein could not be trusted considering Sam Cooke was murdered on his watch and I have also wondered if Brian Jones had secretly copyrighted the Rolling Stones name apparently Keith pulled a knife on Brian when they sacked him what could possibly provoke that? Tom Keylock had apparently been sent to Cotchford Farm to thoroughly search Brian's house & belongings what was he looking for? Hmmmm ? Something to think about
What is Mick belly aching about ? Brian was waiting for the right riff to come. And when "No Expectations" was created that's what was his genius at work. Brian knew what he was doing. It's just the rest of the band made it hard for him to work in the later period.
Because according to actual facts, it was a known requirement that as a condition for both all the performers & the chosen audience members (by Mick's insistence) that EVERYONE WAS TRIPPING on acid.
@@fry1507 the stuff they made after he died was repetitive and boring, most of the songs sound the same - the only thing really standing out about it was Mick Taylors lead guitar work, Brian was a much more talented instrumentalist than Keith could ever be
I love the Stones. Every era has had something to offer. But to me, the best and most creative time time on terms of songs was 66 and 67 and a lot of that was because of Brian. Tell me a better two years of songs than this. Paint it black, under my thumb, out of time, mothers little helper, have you seen your mother baby standing in the shadow, lady Jane, think, Ruby Tuesday, let’s spend the night together, we love you, dandelion, she’s a rainbow, 2000 light years from home. Just amazing and the mixture of sounds and feel.
"Influence" is not the right word. Brian Jones was the genius and musical visionary who CREATED the Rolling Stones -- i.e. he created them from scratch. He recruited Jagger and Richards into the band he was forming and he got them to do the music in the style that he wanted them to do it. He taught Keith Richards, a young kid still wet behind the ears, how to play guitar. And he taught Jagger the essence of cool. They were both adept students, but (like many students) at certain point they began to resent the Master.
Yeah at first they admired Brian. Then later because of jealousy and greed, they conspired to steal the band. THEY fired the FOUNDER?! They knew if Brian had sued that they had everything to lose. I wouldn't be surprised if Mick & Keith paid someone to kill Brian.
@@Methilde We will never know how much he contributed. Marianne Faithful insists the song Ruby Tuesday started with his melodic notion, but he was always snubbed when it came to getting writer credit. Who knows how many more times this happened? Wyman had to fight to get some of his stuff used and credited.
0:05 Brian observando como los traidores e ineptos se robaban su banda ...que triste se le ve su mirada por Dios...si hubiera una fórmula para revivirlo ...si hoy viviera seguiríamos escuchando canciones más trascendentales y maravillosas
I’ll never see/hear the Stones without thinking about poor Brian ❤😢. I wonder if Keith or Mick think about him ever.. they should.. without Brian there would have been NO Stones❣️. RIP Brian ❤😢.
Beautiful slide guitar by Brian, he really was a great musician without drugs, a multi talented cat that was a victim of to many drugs of the wrong kind, one thing for certain (IMO) is Brian was murdered by Frank Thorogood because he was apparently owed money from Brian for work he had done at Brian's home, but Brian found out he was over charging for his services, so he told his accountant to stop payments, this led to an argument the night Brian died, the argument died down and Brian decided to go for a swim, Thorogood held Brian under water until he drowned ( Brian's girl friend was not in the pool when this occurred ) Thorogood admitted this on his death bed, yet many people at the home of Brian's, on the night knew this, but they all left quickly (via back fences etc.) and were frightened to come forward and say what really happened ( for several reasons ) Brian did not die from swimming under the influence of drugs! The official autopsy report said it was death by misadventure, and he had the equivalent of about 3 and a half beers in his system, plus a small amount of other drugs. According to Brian's girl friend at the time, he was happier than he had ever been and had stopped abusing drugs to the point he couldn't function. When Brian's girl friend went to collect all of his belongings from his home, it had been completely cleaned out, all his expensive Persian rugs and valuables gone! We all know who that would have been. A sad loss. R.I.P. Brian Jones
Keith Hall This is how I read it all as well. All I know is that Keith got to keep Brian's cat; don't know who got the rest. Plus I read somewhere that Brian took up an interest in Buddhism before he died; his life was taking on a different turn though without The Stones; I haven't read anywhere that he was harboring any bitterness towards the group.
Bonnie Magpie He was in to Buddism, he also had 'cleaned up' from getting 'out of it' on drugs, according to his girlfriend. None of 'The Stones' held any grudges, in fact Mick Jagger cried because he was so upset about Brian's death. He was happy to be out of the group so he could pursue his own musical direction, I also know none of 'The Stones' had any grudges, they had nothing to do with Brian's death, they are only rumors about them poisoning him or whatever.
+Ziggy “Frappanised” Zappada I think Brian faked it as he was the father of five children out of wedlock, with four different women, at twenty three and likely was under severe paternity scrutiny. If not, Brian had severe asthma from sickness as a child. I can tell you from my own experiences that it is very easy for an asthmatic to drown especially, if in the water alone. I have read that Thorogood had confessed to the Stones driver that he had drowned Brian, but i think he faked it and probably became some anonymous chemist or something.
Spot on, real "friends" would have tried to help, i'm not trying to make him a Saint, but stealing his Girl and freezing him out does not show how true friends would react, and Keef saying "finaly" as a reaction to hearing about his death, is sooooo bad
clanbj Shows you what fame does to some people. Jagger always goes on about how some are not made for the pressure of fame. But I would say other are want it all so bad they are willing to act like scumbags to get it. That fits the other stones to a T. Sad part is for a brief period they had some really good blues oriented albums right after Jones died. And the funny thing is this was the direction Jones wanted them to go in. That spark died though after Taylor left. His great guitar playing solos were what made that period. Also before that Jones musical acrobatics on all those different instruments gave the stones their awesome eclectic sound. Its just boring guitar chord growls now because the talent left the band behind.
Keef and Mick didn't even go to his funeral. Their attempts at sympathy for Brian are just weak. Mick, Keith, and Andrew took his band away, no wonder he went down. The Brian years were the best!
Keith took his girl because Brian was abusing her on vacation - the 3 were on holiday! I walked down the street with Brian July 1964 at about and he was drunk before doing a charity show at 100 Club Oxford st! He liked to hit Women and abuse himself with booze and Drugs unfortunately! He was my favorite Stone! The Autopsy revealed that he was in poor shape and would have lived not longer then another couple of years!
What a sad, poignant final riff. When the Glimmer Twins realized they had McCartney-Lennon bankability, they squeezed Brian out. His stupefied studio appearances were his way of disengaging from what they had already disengaged him from. Sensitive hurt soul.
Read Paul Trynka's book "Brian Jones: The Making of the Rolling Stones." Covers his contributions, his treatment, and where it exactly went wrong in great depth.
The Boyz got tired of Brian's behavior and said enough is enough. Instead of being a productive contributor he became detrimental. Much of the on the edge ambience of Beggars and Let It Bleed reflected Brian's distengration, the uncertainty of the bands future, and their arrests. Most notably Jumping Jack, Sympathy, Stray Cat, Gimme, Midnight and Monkey. All reflected a duality of crossing and recrossing the line into and out of madness.
This is the first time i've seen this. Kind of sad when you think he could have just left the band and chose a different way of life. It seems that life within the band got him down, that's why he went the way he did. He should've focussed on what he truly wanted out of life. Maybe he had no time to think. Sad his life had to end the way it did.
Brian was the most talented rolling stone. He with some help from Ian Stewart founded the band. Keith stole his girlfriend and with Mick kicked him out of the band. Yes, Mick and Keith could have done more to help him. From everything I've heard they weren't very nice to Brian. I think this was a tragedy that could have been averted. RIP Brian
why would they help him when they did everything to distroy him. those two are avreage musicians,Brian was brilliant musician. They needed either to destroy him or always be in his shadow. They prefer more average Rollingstones with two of them over briliant Rolling stones with Brian or Mick Taylor in it.
Nobody would deny that Brian was a brilliant musician, and he contributed so much to the Stones. But in my opinion (just mine), the best RS era was with Mick Taylor.
Brian Jones fue la piedra angular de los Stones y no se puede explicar la historia musical de ellos sin la influencia musical y el talento de Brian Jones descansa Genio ❤ !!!!
He was not "fired" by Keith for "using too many drugs". He was asked to leave because he simply could not function as the brilliant musician the Stones needed and relied on him to be. He could not keep up his end of the responsibility he made to the others. Period! Did you not listen to what Mick said especially? Was it drugs? Of course, but it certainly was not the only cause of Brian's undoing. It upset's me too, he was brilliant as a musician, extraordinary, but quite lousy as a bandmate. Too self involved.
Cee Jay Absolutely brilliant man,a trend setter and fantastic musician,he helped shape the decade of the 1960's and many emulated him.Mick has said "fame doesn't rest well on anyone's shoulders" and goes on to state that it did not set well with Brian at all.He needed psychotherapy,not drugs,but unfortunately no one knew much about drug use back then.What a loss to the world when he died.
@@ceejay1794 ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WAS GOING ON WAS THAT THE STONES WANTED TO TOUR AMERICA AND BRIANS DRUG CONVICTIONS FROM 67 FOR CANNABIS AND COCAINE PROVED TO BE DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO GET A VISA INTO THE STATES. THEY NEEDED ANOTHER GUITARIST AND ONE WITH THE ENERGY FOR CONCERTS AS CONCERTS WERE BECOMING VERY BIG IN THE STATES ABOUT THAT TIME AND BRIAN DID NOT HAVE THAT RAW ENERGY THEY WERE LOOKING FOR FOR THEY TOLD BRIAN THAT HE WOULD STILL BE A PART OF THE BAND WHEN IT CAME TO STUDIO SESSIONS AND LAYING DOWN TRACKS BUT DEEP DOWN THEY KNEW THAT BRIAN WAS NEVER GOING TO AGREE TO THIS AND FROM WHAT I HEARD, LATER ON HE CAME OUT AND SAID THAT IT WAS HE WHO WAS LEAVING EVEN THOUGH MICK AND KEITH GAVE HIM THE BOOT AND THAT IS HOW I HEARD IT BUT I COULD BE WRONG BUT NOT ON ALL OF IT.
+JohnAllanification - Brian was so good-looking it is insane. I wish these videos showed more of Brian and less of Mick. I like listening to Mick sing but I don't want to have to look at Mick. I only want to look at Brian.
So sad! Extremely talented musician who was wasting away from drugs. I always thought the Stones should have done more to help him with his drug addiction. They certainly had the finances to help him. Instead they threw him out on the street.
The best songs of The Stones played when Brian Jones was with the group . Specially : Jumpin,jack flash . The Rolling Stones after Brian Jones become very foolish
So what if Keith and Mick helped push Brian over the edge?They were young and emulating him.They did nothing he wouldn't have done to them if he had half a chance.
Brian started the Stones Mick and Keith fucked Brian over big time Keith stole Anita from Brian and Brian lost it from all the betrail RIP MR BRIAN JONES
Brian Jones was a great musician who had a good run, but he wasn't cut out for the long haul. People on this link talk like he never had a choice, he did....but just wasn't good at making them. Brian lived his life 200%, and as they say...those who are twice as bright burn half as long. Personally i believe Brian had a lot of demons, I say this because i have had no shortage of my own. I see comments like "Mick was jealous of Brian" and "Keith stole his girlfriend"...Anna had a choice...and she chose Keith...and probably for simplistic reasons. Brian was coming apart the last couple of years, and if Mick and Keith hadn't have ran with it? The Stones would likely have been over...with Brian still in a coffin. Sure, music is a cut-throat business...I did 15 years in it and survived. When you look at how Mick and Keith got robbed in the beginning by Oldham, one grasps the "bigger picture" vision needed. Jones was a great influence and had an amazing period with the Stones, but one has to also credit Jagger and Richards, and all the others who contributed along the way...to make what is ultimately one of the greatest bands ever. Peace.
Brian wasn't cut out for being murdered. The glimmer twins turned on him. When that whore Anita hooked up with Richards it's because she knew they were stealing the band and conspired to oust him. She wanted to keep herself in the Stones inner circle.
He died in the same manner as Jim Morrison, due to a heart condition brought on from the drugs. No conspiracy, warm/hot waters made the heart react and they died peacefully. Appreciate the genius of this man, because the good die young
The tonic chord left and what remained was Charlie doing Haydn. Keith and Mick disappeared into Gram Parsons. And the band became Outlaw Country a la jazz.
its to an easy co out to say WHY did noone seriously help him....addiction is exactly that...it takes you mind body and eventually soul..and your one of the very few lucky ones who can keep the latter....there could have been an army of people tohelp him but unless he wanted it ,,then it may be noone.
Mick and Keith both talk a lot of bullshit. Brian played lots of stuff on Beggars Banquet. He contributed loads to that album, playing on every song. Most of the memorable moments on the album are Brian Jones!
It's interesting that the Stones were supposed to be this rebellious drug taking band. However when you here Mick talking about his job and what he could bring to a record, he sounds like some a middle aged employer.
Very sad...only 27 Lord knows if Brian would have made it later in life. He was such a wreck with so many issues. Had there been a future for him it may well have been in movie soundtracks.
+AssinnippiJack - If Brian had lived, he could have done anything he wanted. There was talk of Brian joining John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix in a supergroup. Brian had quit hard drugs a few months before he died according to his live-in girlfriend Anna Wohlin. If Brian had stayed off drugs, every musician in the world would have wanted Brian in their band. He could have done movie soundtracks, got another band together or he could have kept exploring World Music like Brian Eno ended up doing a few years after Brian Jone's death.
Im not sure but i think keith meant that brian was finally out of his misery.he was so far gone. Friends know when that point had been reached with brian.
That wasn't the case at all. Richards was no real friend. He became jealous of Brian and greedy. He & Mick conspired against him to steal his band. If Brian had sued, they could have lost everything and they knew it. They could have paid someone to kill Brian.
Note that Richards always has been jealous of anyone who could play better than him. The real reason Mick Taylor left (shown the door?) was that he was much better than Keith and the latter couldn't have that. Ron Wood never challenged him so he got to stay on.
Back then people did not fully realize how easy drug use could ruin your life. Rehab was not prevalent. All of them were struggling with this and that of their own problems. No one person's fault.
Almost sounds like Warren Zevon asking Charlie Watts that question at 3 minutes onward, his first album was around 1969 anyway so it'd be pretty interesting if they ever linked up since he was a session guy beforehand.
Mick and Keith have never attempted to hide the fact that they are simply not very “nice” people, but you don’t remain “nice” for long at their level of success and longevity. Maybe in another field - like horticulture or the fishing lure industry. But every story I’ve ever heard about the Stones’ business dealings suggests they are extremely tight-fisted in terms of money and credit for musical contributions.
Lamentables comentarios sobre alguien que está muerto. Deberian reconocer su talento musical en la historia de los Stones y terminarla de una vez. No lo han podido dejar en el olvido porque los fans de los Stones seguimos admirando su aporte musical. Ahi está el punto y es rara esa actitud. Indudable que Mick es el frontman por exelencia y con Richards los compositores. Lo han demostrado. Pero la epoca con BJones es muuuyyy buena! Inolvidable!
We found something for him to do...Lol it wasn't your band. He knew what you guys were doing and wasn't going to give you anymore of his talent which made you
Avec ce que j'ai pu lire durant le coco , Keith et Mick ne sont pas de notre côté , ce sont des vendus comme tout les autres ... Brian était les Rolling Stones , ils n'ont fait que copier le génie de Brian
+Rolling Ormond - Anna Wohlin ( the Swedish girl that lived with Brian before he died ) said that Hendrix, John Lennon and Brian were going to perhaps form a super-group together. Anita Pallenberg said that Brian had met with Alexis Korner and Alexis was helping Brian to put a band together. Brian had also been talking to his lawyer about suing Mick and Keith because Brian owned the name " The Rolling Stones" as it was his band and he started it. Brian would have had no problem putting another band together as everyone wanted to be in a band with Brian because he was a brilliant and very talented musician who played at least 30 different instruments and as a child he was a classically trained pianist who could read music.
Honey Lambb The supergroup rumor is a fantasy. Brian's old mentor Alexis Korner visited him for the possibility of touring together and Brian couldn't even coordinate his hands to the guitar strings. All the Mandrax and DMT destroyed his coordination; he was long past his peak.
Brian Jones played the instruments that made the Stones world famous. Keith and Jagger and Charlie never recommended rehabilitation for their mate.Keth stole his girlfriend.Jagger stole his band. Brian Jones guitars gave the Stones an identity that the band never had. Sympathy for the devil.
It was all about the💲Brian should of received production credit on the songs. It should of been (Jagger Jones & Richards) on Ruby Tuesday, Under my thumb, Paint It Black, Get off of my Cloud Ect Ect. Anita was a "Gold Digger" Keith has a Rolls Royce! Brian still living in a flat? She knew who was making the money💲
How can anyone in their right mind say that Brian Jones "founded the Rolling Stones when their debut performance at the Marquee Club On July 12th 1962 consisted of the band called the Blue Boys, Keith's band that had been founded the year before. They had changed their name and they added two new players Brian and Ian Stewart but the rest of the band was Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Dick Taylor on Bass and the drummer Tony Chapman. The performers on stage that night were the entire Blue Boys band, Keith's band. The only group Brian Jones ever founded was the 27 club. It is all a myth and a lie to say that Brian Jones founded the Rolling Stones. Brian JOINED the Blue Boys,Keith's band and THAT band then changed their name to the Rollin Stone It was Keith and Mick who brought the entire Blue Boys band together and then when Brian and Ian asked to join they brought them in as well.. the Rollin Stones were Keith's band and he founded them. and led them to world wide fame and success.
Props to Bill and Charlie for having the character and courage to go to the funeral
Keith was involved in a car accident the day before the funeral. Mick was under contract for filming in Australia. I guess they could just have layed that to a side, right? 😂

Said it before - without Jones Jagger would be a retired accountant in Surrey now and Richards would be a fork-lift truck driver in Dartford playing in pub bands on a Saturday night
tnimbus Absolutely! It was the luckiest day of their lives when they met Brian Jones.
Don’t show your lack of knowledge, if Brian Jones had remained with the band The Rolling Stones would have never reached the heights they did, Jagger and Richards were and are the Stones, written 500 or more songs that are still played today at their concerts which are sold out in hours worldwide. Brian Jones apart from being a great musician was also a serious addict and that is what caused him to leave The Rolling Stones not Micks jealousy
'lack of knowledge'? I've followed the Stones for over 45 years. 'the heights they did'? The Stones are little more than a tribute band now and have done nothing original since the seventies. Jones was never an addict although of course the Kent Forklift truck driver was. What caused him to leave was that he wanted to be blues musician and Jagger & Richards wanted to be pop stars. Without his influence they would have been merely another sixties flash in the pan band largely unheard of today. Read a book mate.
tnimbus - what really did Brian in was that blues had been the love of his life and when the band he had begun with such high hopes starting turning away from that genre he really began to lose it. Oldham played a role in that as well. From about 1967 on he was functioning in another world because the real one had become too painful. I always say Brian died from a broken heart, literally and figuratively.
right on Cissy
Brian Jones will always be The ORIGINAL ROLLIN STONE. good video.

@@tomwheeler6760 I shake my head at all you Brian worshipers who were not even born when the poser faked his way through seven years on the backs of Keith and Mick's talents.
Not only do you people lie about who he was what he could do but you overlook the awful way he treated his own offsprings.
He was phoney and a horrible person.
in my opinion Brian was the founder of Stones.., he was a real bluesman & he also gave the name of the band from Muddy Waters's song tittle... I really love every songs he wrote, full of character & gave the color of Stones in modern music industry 'till right now... we miss u Brian... never forget u...!!!
Uhm he was the founder
He created, named, and auditioned for the band members. He was screwed over by Andrew Loog Oldham, MIck and Keith who were jealous of his talent.
+Lawrence Frauens - Mick Jagger was jealous of Brian''s good-looks too and jealous of how all the girls went crazy over Brian.
Completely agree Honey! Keith ripped off Brian's tunings, and lied when he said he got them from Ry Cooder! The best years were with Brian. Mick and Keith were both jealous of Brian, and with the help of manager Andrew Oldham; conspired to rip the band away from him.
@@lefrauens Brian did not "audition " or "hire" anyone in the Stones. It is a lie to say that he did. Jones myths are prevalent , but they are not true.
Brian and Ian JOINED Keith's band the Blue Boys.
Brian Jones founded NOTHING!
It is a sad story.... Brian was a very gifted, natural musician who was, in the early days of the band anyway, its essence. You can't mistake the genuine sadness in their voices when they speak about his spiralling down and finally out. RIP Jonesy, you are missed.
There was no love lost. Jagger & Richards turned on him and stoled his band. Then a few weeks later, Brian is murdered in his pool. Hmmm Who would have benefited from it? They probably paid someone to kill Brian.
Don't believe there was true sadness. Wyman and Watts were the only two 'Stones who went to Brian's funeral. The other two had pressing engagements, contract obligations..a lot of rubbish..if they'd had really cared they woulda shoulda coulda been there.
Kathy Baker it’s a valid point you make.
@@tattyshoesshigure5731 Thank you for that. Have a nice evening..

Just follow the money trail ! :(
a mistery, forever. Brian WAS Rolling Stones, in my opinion (in 1965-1966).
@Fenyk An Loer and he and Mick were fond of each other....
But how would Jones fare on his own, he needed the band more than the band needed him
@@ahmadfaizarmianosyah663
The Devil you say.
All their songs written in those two years were Mick and Keith's.
Brian Jones formed the RollingStones back in 1962, he chose Mick Jagger , Keith because they were at Alexis Korner's blues club hanging out and listening to Brian play slide guitar to Dust my broom and other delta blues tunes. Charlie Watts was there at the Ealing club as a drummer. Then Brian put an ad in a Jazz local newspaper for a bass player and along comes Bill Wyman who was a little older than the others and had served in the Koren war in the late 50's early 60's, was already in a band and owned 2 amps , plus lots of ciggs , was too cool , he was in immediately!! In the very beginning Brian, Keith & Mick shared a flat at 102 Edith Grove Ave., they did alot of their jamming and their flat - mate James Flegh whom their group compositions were named after partly under a pseudonymn - Nanker Plegh, excuse typo on James's last name! Most of these friends have written books about the Stones if you care to google to obtain more info.. Brian was the group's manager , the title belonged to him, their interim manager after this was Georgeo Glomelsky owner of the Crawdaddy club in the Station hotel in Richmond.. Brian was light years ahead of the other bandmates because of his early musical training , both his parents Lewis and Louisa Jones were very musical having met in a Welsh methodist church, both boasted an impressive musical aptitude.. Louisa was an accomplished pianist, who taught piano lessons in their home. Brian was taught piano by his mom, they encouraged him to excell , having bought him a clarinette, plus a guitar in his very early teens..
Hello Carolyn.. how are things going with you?
Keith and Mick covered classic blues together few years before meeting Brian, take some more informations.
Alexis Korner had advised Brian not to pick both Mick and Keith there was a danger that they would take the band over made a lot of sense in light of how it went down Brian was doomed once Eric Easton was out as manager and Oldham took over early on there were rumors that Brian was going to quit the stones Brian himself said first they took my music then they took my band and then they took my love I think Brian began to reject them in retaliation for how they rejected him they bullied him early on as one story when they were on the way to a gig and he wanted to stop at a pharmacy I believe it was they drove off and left him ...some way to treat your bandmate they undermine his confidence at every turn instead of encouraging him that's from marianne faithful imagine what they could have done over the years if they had nurtured him instead he truly was brilliant go to UA-cam Peter Townsend roasted them with his induction speech at the rock and roll hall of fame brilliant! Keith resentful that Anita Pallenberg never got over Brian after they kicked Brian out Mick in particular tracked Brian's activities as Bill mentioned it was really uncertain as to whether or not the Rolling Stones could go on without Brian he was the most popular stone in Germany and Scandinavia curiously Steve Marriott considered by M&K as a replacement for Brian once Marriot started to sing at his audition it ended abruptly as fate would have it Marriott had been considering Brian to be in Humble Pie IMO that was too much for the Dimmer Twins to handle Humble Pie with Brian could easily have outshined the Stones and usher in Brian's return to the blues and R& B Alexis had told Brian that ship had sailed too late to go back to the roots of the Stones music Steve Marriott himself uttered the words Brian considered for Humble Pie was in play before he was murdered (Steve's words) I believe the Rolling Stones and Keith were concerned about competing with Brian in another band Brian was good friends with Steve winwood Brian turned Steve winwood on to his first acid trip could you imagine Brian in Traffic? I certainly can also rumored was Jimi Hendrix John Lennon Brian Jones in a super group if Mick and Keith weren't responsible certainly others in their circle and various sycophants might have plotted against Brian for certain Allen Klein could not be trusted considering Sam Cooke was murdered on his watch and I have also wondered if Brian Jones had secretly copyrighted the Rolling Stones name apparently Keith pulled a knife on Brian when they sacked him what could possibly provoke that? Tom Keylock had apparently been sent to Cotchford Farm to thoroughly search Brian's house & belongings what was he looking for? Hmmmm ? Something to think about
EVERYTHING you just said is wrong Carolyn. You have no idea what the truth is... You simply repeat the lies and the myths.
Shame on you.
You are a mythologist. Jones founded NOTHING and he had very little musical ability..
What is Mick belly aching about ? Brian was waiting for the right riff to come. And when "No Expectations" was created that's what was his genius at work. Brian knew what he was doing. It's just the rest of the band made it hard for him to work in the later period.
Because according to actual facts, it was a known requirement that as a condition for both all the performers & the chosen audience members (by Mick's insistence) that EVERYONE WAS TRIPPING on acid.
@@fry1507 the stuff they made after he died was repetitive and boring, most of the songs sound the same - the only thing really standing out about it was Mick Taylors lead guitar work, Brian was a much more talented instrumentalist than Keith could ever be
@@JoeyTheDesigner BIG FUCKING FACTS!
johannes rørbye i question how many post brian jones songs you’ve listened to if you think they all sound the same.
We were not there to know what really happened..
I love the Stones. Every era has had something to offer. But to me, the best and most creative time time on terms of songs was 66 and 67 and a lot of that was because of Brian. Tell me a better two years of songs than this. Paint it black, under my thumb, out of time, mothers little helper, have you seen your mother baby standing in the shadow, lady Jane, think, Ruby Tuesday, let’s spend the night together, we love you, dandelion, she’s a rainbow, 2000 light years from home. Just amazing and the mixture of sounds and feel.
Still very heartbreaking after all these years, without a doubt brian was definitely the biggest influence on the Stones never ending journey.
"Influence" is not the right word. Brian Jones was the genius and musical visionary who CREATED the Rolling Stones -- i.e. he created them from scratch. He recruited Jagger and Richards into the band he was forming and he got them to do the music in the style that he wanted them to do it. He taught Keith Richards, a young kid still wet behind the ears, how to play guitar. And he taught Jagger the essence of cool. They were both adept students, but (like many students) at certain point they began to resent the Master.
Yeah at first they admired Brian. Then later because of jealousy and greed, they conspired to steal the band. THEY fired the FOUNDER?! They knew if Brian had sued that they had everything to lose. I wouldn't be surprised if Mick & Keith paid someone to kill Brian.
@@aprilgarcia2161 quite possible.....
You can Influence a song only after it's writing, don't reverse the process.
@@Methilde We will never know how much he contributed. Marianne Faithful insists the song Ruby Tuesday started with his melodic notion, but he was always snubbed when it came to getting writer credit. Who knows how many more times this happened? Wyman had to fight to get some of his stuff used and credited.

brian was the 1960`s. always be remembered.
I’ll never see/hear the Stones without thinking about poor Brian ❤😢. I wonder if Keith or Mick think about him ever.. they should.. without Brian there would have been NO Stones❣️. RIP Brian ❤😢.
Beautiful slide guitar by Brian, he really was a great musician without drugs, a multi talented cat that was a victim of to many drugs of the wrong kind, one thing for certain (IMO) is Brian was murdered by Frank Thorogood because he was apparently owed money from Brian for work he had done at Brian's home, but Brian found out he was over charging for his services, so he told his accountant to stop payments, this led to an argument the night Brian died, the argument died down and Brian decided to go for a swim, Thorogood held Brian under water until he drowned ( Brian's girl friend was not in the pool when this occurred ) Thorogood admitted this on his death bed, yet many people at the home of Brian's, on the night knew this, but they all left quickly (via back fences etc.) and were frightened to come forward and say what really happened ( for several reasons ) Brian did not die from swimming under the influence of drugs! The official autopsy report said it was death by misadventure, and he had the equivalent of about 3 and a half beers in his system, plus a small amount of other drugs. According to Brian's girl friend at the time, he was happier than he had ever been and had stopped abusing drugs to the point he couldn't function. When Brian's girl friend went to collect all of his belongings from his home, it had been completely cleaned out, all his expensive Persian rugs and valuables gone! We all know who that would have been. A sad loss. R.I.P. Brian Jones
Keith Hall
This is how I read it all as well.
All I know is that Keith got to keep Brian's cat; don't know who got the rest.
Plus I read somewhere that Brian took up an interest in Buddhism before he died;
his life was taking on a different turn though without The Stones; I haven't read anywhere
that he was harboring any bitterness towards the group.
Bonnie Magpie He was in to Buddism, he also had 'cleaned up' from getting 'out of it' on drugs, according to his girlfriend. None of 'The Stones' held any grudges, in fact Mick Jagger cried because he was so upset about Brian's death. He was happy to be out of the group so he could pursue his own musical direction, I also know none of 'The Stones' had any grudges, they had nothing to do with Brian's death, they are only rumors about them poisoning him or whatever.
Keith Hall
Thank-you Keith.
Bonnie Magpie You're very welcome Bonnie. Take care. :-)
+Ziggy “Frappanised” Zappada I think Brian faked it as he was the father of five children out of wedlock, with four different women, at twenty three and likely was under severe paternity scrutiny. If not, Brian had severe asthma from sickness as a child. I can tell you from my own experiences that it is very easy for an asthmatic to drown especially, if in the water alone. I have read that Thorogood had confessed to the Stones driver that he had drowned Brian, but i think he faked it and probably became some anonymous chemist or something.
Keith took his girl and then his band. With friends like that....
Spot on, real "friends" would have tried to help, i'm not trying to make him a Saint, but stealing his Girl and freezing him out does not show how true friends would react, and Keef saying "finaly" as a reaction to hearing about his death, is sooooo bad
clanbj Shows you what fame does to some people. Jagger always goes on about how some are not made for the pressure of fame. But I would say other are want it all so bad they are willing to act like scumbags to get it. That fits the other stones to a T. Sad part is for a brief period they had some really good blues oriented albums right after Jones died. And the funny thing is this was the direction Jones wanted them to go in. That spark died though after Taylor left. His great guitar playing solos were what made that period. Also before that Jones musical acrobatics on all those different instruments gave the stones their awesome eclectic sound. Its just boring guitar chord growls now because the talent left the band behind.
Keef and Mick didn't even go to his funeral. Their attempts at sympathy for Brian are just weak. Mick, Keith, and Andrew took his band away, no wonder he went down.
The Brian years were the best!
l
i
Keith took his girl because Brian was abusing her on vacation - the 3 were on holiday! I walked down the street with Brian July 1964 at about and he was drunk before doing a charity show at 100 Club Oxford st! He liked to hit Women and abuse himself with booze and Drugs unfortunately! He was my favorite Stone! The Autopsy revealed that he was in poor shape and would have lived not longer then another couple of years!
What a sad, poignant final riff. When the Glimmer Twins realized they had McCartney-Lennon bankability, they squeezed Brian out. His stupefied studio appearances were his way of disengaging from what they had already disengaged him from. Sensitive hurt soul.
Read Paul Trynka's book "Brian Jones: The Making of the Rolling Stones." Covers his contributions, his treatment, and where it exactly went wrong in great depth.
That's for that recommendation. I am downloading it now on Ebook via Bit Torrent.
1963-69, Brian WAS the Rolling Stones....more than just a rock 'n' roll band.
Brian was the heart of stones!a fabulous muzician!and the most charismatic stones!chapeau Forever!
The Boyz got tired of Brian's behavior and said enough is enough. Instead of being a productive contributor he became detrimental. Much of the on the edge ambience of Beggars and Let It Bleed reflected Brian's distengration, the uncertainty of the bands future, and their arrests. Most notably Jumping Jack, Sympathy, Stray Cat, Gimme, Midnight and Monkey. All reflected a duality of crossing and recrossing the line into and out of madness.
We remember you Brian.
This is the first time i've seen this. Kind of sad when you think he could have just left the band and chose a different way of life. It seems that life within the band got him down, that's why he went the way he did. He should've focussed on what he truly wanted out of life. Maybe he had no time to think. Sad his life had to end the way it did.
Sounds like the rest of the group didn't want to try to help Brian at all and they just let him pass away
Glimmer twins may have paid someone to kill him.
Brian was the most talented rolling stone. He with some help from Ian Stewart founded the band. Keith stole his girlfriend and with Mick kicked him out of the band. Yes, Mick and Keith could have done more to help him. From everything I've heard they weren't very nice to Brian. I think this was a tragedy that could have been averted. RIP Brian
why would they help him when they did everything to distroy him. those two are avreage musicians,Brian was brilliant musician. They needed either to destroy him or always be in his shadow. They prefer more average Rollingstones with two of them over briliant Rolling stones with Brian or Mick Taylor in it.
I don't like mick anymore...
brian el auténtico rolling stone un musico de otro planeta estaba un escalón mas arriba q mick y keith!!!
Total mente de acuerdo
Lucia Ledesma de acuerdo
De acuerdo men
As we know, it was all a pack of lies. But if it makes the Stones feel better for what they did to him, we have to let it go.
Nobody would deny that Brian was a brilliant musician, and he contributed so much to the Stones. But in my opinion (just mine), the best RS era was with Mick Taylor.
Yes and their Best Album was released in the Mick Taylor Era.
Doode, you're so so correct.
Slow down please .!! Lol
Yeah but the brian jones era was more creative, as they explored a variety of genres from blues to psychedelic to raga, etc
No Expectations is a beautiful and emotional blues song that Mick and Keith wrote.
Brian Jones fue la piedra angular de los Stones y no se puede explicar la historia musical de ellos sin la influencia musical y el talento de Brian Jones descansa Genio ❤ !!!!
The song is no expectations !
Hello Judith.. how are things going with you?
Life is a trip. It`s very sad at times......
His real accomplishment was being fired by Keith for using too many drugs,that has to be an inhuman feat.
He was not "fired" by Keith for "using too many drugs". He was asked to leave because he simply could not function as the brilliant musician the Stones needed and relied on him to be. He could not keep up his end of the responsibility he made to the others. Period! Did you not listen to what Mick said especially? Was it drugs? Of course, but it certainly was not the only cause of Brian's undoing. It upset's me too, he was brilliant as a musician, extraordinary, but quite lousy as a bandmate. Too self involved.
Cee Jay Absolutely brilliant man,a trend setter and fantastic musician,he helped shape the decade of the 1960's and many emulated him.Mick has said "fame doesn't rest well on anyone's shoulders" and goes on to state that it did not set well with Brian at all.He needed psychotherapy,not drugs,but unfortunately no one knew much about drug use back then.What a loss to the world when he died.
mrchipster31 Bingo! Now we agree!
Cee Jay sounds to me like brian eno roxy music situation with the stones wanting to sound less psychedelic and rip the blues off some more
@@ceejay1794 ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WAS GOING ON WAS THAT THE STONES WANTED TO TOUR AMERICA AND BRIANS DRUG CONVICTIONS FROM 67 FOR CANNABIS AND COCAINE PROVED TO BE DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO GET A VISA INTO THE STATES. THEY NEEDED ANOTHER GUITARIST AND ONE WITH THE ENERGY FOR CONCERTS AS CONCERTS WERE BECOMING VERY BIG IN THE STATES ABOUT THAT TIME AND BRIAN DID NOT HAVE THAT RAW ENERGY THEY WERE LOOKING FOR FOR THEY TOLD BRIAN THAT HE WOULD STILL BE A PART OF THE BAND WHEN IT CAME TO STUDIO SESSIONS AND LAYING DOWN TRACKS BUT DEEP DOWN THEY KNEW THAT BRIAN WAS NEVER GOING TO AGREE TO THIS AND FROM WHAT I HEARD, LATER ON HE CAME OUT AND SAID THAT IT WAS HE WHO WAS LEAVING EVEN THOUGH MICK AND KEITH GAVE HIM THE BOOT AND THAT IS HOW I HEARD IT BUT I COULD BE WRONG BUT NOT ON ALL OF IT.
BRIAN!
I don’t like seeing Brian’s eyes like that
Brian was the Rolling stones great talent and looks....love him R.I.P Brian GOD BLESS
christ i think we'll always try to catch moments of Brian
+JohnAllanification - Brian was so good-looking it is insane. I wish these videos showed more of Brian and less of Mick. I like listening to Mick sing but I don't want to have to look at Mick. I only want to look at Brian.
So sad! Extremely talented musician who was wasting away from drugs. I always thought the Stones should have done more to help him with his drug addiction. They certainly had the finances to help him. Instead they threw him out on the street.
The best songs of The Stones played when Brian Jones was with the group . Specially : Jumpin,jack flash . The Rolling Stones after Brian Jones become very foolish
So what if Keith and Mick helped push Brian over the edge?They were young and emulating him.They did nothing he wouldn't have done to them if he had half a chance.
Love to this video creator. Brian deserved better!!!!
Brian started the Stones Mick and Keith fucked Brian over big time Keith stole Anita from Brian and Brian lost it from all the betrail RIP MR BRIAN JONES
Great job at making someone look hopelessly tragic
Brian Jones - STOP YOUR DRUGS
Great clip thanks for sharing ORY Jean Luc
Brian Jones was a great musician who had a good run, but he wasn't cut out for the long haul. People on this link talk like he never had a choice, he did....but just wasn't good at making them. Brian lived his life 200%, and as they say...those who are twice as bright burn half as long. Personally i believe Brian had a lot of demons, I say this because i have had no shortage of my own. I see comments like "Mick was jealous of Brian" and "Keith stole his girlfriend"...Anna had a choice...and she chose Keith...and probably for simplistic reasons. Brian was coming apart the last couple of years, and if Mick and Keith hadn't have ran with it? The Stones would likely have been over...with Brian still in a coffin. Sure, music is a cut-throat business...I did 15 years in it and survived. When you look at how Mick and Keith got robbed in the beginning by Oldham, one grasps the "bigger picture" vision needed. Jones was a great influence and had an amazing period with the Stones, but one has to also credit Jagger and Richards, and all the others who contributed along the way...to make what is ultimately one of the greatest bands ever. Peace.
Brian wasn't cut out for being murdered. The glimmer twins turned on him. When that whore Anita hooked up with Richards it's because she knew they were stealing the band and conspired to oust him. She wanted to keep herself in the Stones inner circle.
Brian a great talent
A great wasre
lived in style, went out in style. free.. concert in London to celebrate founding member who died young.
It was his band!!!
❤Still my favorite Stone..
Ever since “No Expectations” Keith has been chasing after that (Brian’s) riff.
Keef certainly had his own thing(s) too, but he got a lot from Brian
What it really came down to was Mick and Keith realized it was far more lucrative to not have to split the publishing 3 ways.
Brian Jones was like what George Martin was to the Beatles. When he passed the Stones were lost for a very long time.
It has become common to read how bad Mick and Kieth were towards Brian. Read about how things really were in Bill Wyman's autobio "Stone Alone".
🎉🎉glad Bill and Charlie went ..❤❤❤
02:30 Classic Jones
Ils luis ont volé son héritage et m k contrôle ça a fait le reste ❤😢 j'ai beaucoup d estime for Brian un jour tu seras libéré Amen 🙏
He died in the same manner as Jim Morrison, due to a heart condition brought on from the drugs. No conspiracy, warm/hot waters made the heart react and they died peacefully. Appreciate the genius of this man, because the good die young
murdered
The Stones wouldn't exist if it weren't for Brian Jones, after him they were never the same.
The tonic chord left and what remained was Charlie doing Haydn. Keith and Mick disappeared into Gram Parsons. And the band became Outlaw Country a la jazz.
Sometimes people are on the autoglide path to self-destruction.
RIP Brian Jones.
its to an easy co out to say WHY did noone seriously help him....addiction is exactly that...it takes you mind body and eventually soul..and your one of the very few lucky ones who can keep the latter....there could have been an army of people tohelp him but unless he wanted it ,,then it may be noone.
Mick and Keith both talk a lot of bullshit. Brian played lots of stuff on Beggars Banquet. He contributed loads to that album, playing on every song. Most of the memorable moments on the album are Brian Jones!
Some friends always took things to the limit.
It's interesting that the Stones were supposed to be this rebellious drug taking band. However when you here Mick talking about his job and what he could bring to a record, he sounds like some a middle aged employer.
Brian was the rolling stones.great composer.
Brian has been decomposing for the last 60 years.
He never composed ANYTHING.
Very sad...only 27 Lord knows if Brian would have made it later in life. He was such a wreck with so many issues. Had there been a future for him it may well have been in movie soundtracks.
+AssinnippiJack - If Brian had lived, he could have done anything he wanted. There was talk of Brian joining John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix in a supergroup. Brian had quit hard drugs a few months before he died according to his live-in girlfriend Anna Wohlin. If Brian had stayed off drugs, every musician in the world would have wanted Brian in their band. He could have done movie soundtracks, got another band together or he could have kept exploring World Music like Brian Eno ended up doing a few years after Brian Jone's death.
D-M Mick and Keith . This is to sad to watch , just makes you feel sad !
What a damn shame that Brian died. But Mick Taylor got in and The Stones made the best music with Taylor.
Brian Jones had two major problems in his life. The first was drug addiction, the second was an inability to swim.
He was said to be a strong swimmer so your little joke doesn't work.
bunch of liars!! oh my lord
Im not sure but i think keith meant that brian was finally out of his misery.he was so far gone. Friends know when that point had been reached with brian.
That wasn't the case at all. Richards was no real friend. He became jealous of Brian and greedy. He & Mick conspired against him to steal his band. If Brian had sued, they could have lost everything and they knew it. They could have paid someone to kill Brian.
Note that Richards always has been jealous of anyone who could play better than him. The real reason Mick Taylor left (shown the door?) was that he was much better than Keith and the latter couldn't have that. Ron Wood never challenged him so he got to stay on.
Back then people did not fully realize how easy drug use could ruin your life. Rehab was not prevalent. All of them were struggling with this and that of their own problems. No one person's fault.
Brilliance that went too soon.
His eyes look so dead when he is smoking the cigarette.
death is the ultimate enemy that we all must have a battle with. Death always wins.
Jesus Christ holds the keys to Death and Hades, there is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Almost sounds like Warren Zevon asking Charlie Watts that question at 3 minutes onward, his first album was around 1969 anyway so it'd be pretty interesting if they ever linked up since he was a session guy beforehand.
Brian Jones El mejor❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰Grace Morrison 7/4/20
Strange how everyone said Brian couldn't write songs so they gave him the axe.
Neither could Bill or Charlie. What a bullshit excuse. RIP Brian.
Mick and Keith have never attempted to hide the fact that they are simply not very “nice” people, but you don’t remain “nice” for long at their level of success and longevity. Maybe in another field - like horticulture or the fishing lure industry. But every story I’ve ever heard about the Stones’ business dealings suggests they are extremely tight-fisted in terms of money and credit for musical contributions.
If you want the closest to truth things will come read Paul Trynka's book, 2014
Lamentables comentarios sobre alguien que está muerto. Deberian reconocer su talento musical en la historia de los Stones y terminarla de una vez. No lo han podido dejar en el olvido porque los fans de los Stones seguimos admirando su aporte musical. Ahi está el punto y es rara esa actitud. Indudable que Mick es el frontman por exelencia y con Richards los compositores. Lo han demostrado. Pero la epoca con BJones es muuuyyy buena! Inolvidable!
Triste ou tristeza ? Um sonho perdido para sempre.
We found something for him to do...Lol it wasn't your band. He knew what you guys were doing and wasn't going to give you anymore of his talent which made you
Hello Corinne.. how are things going with you?
Right!
Brian never did Buddhism - he had a Bible that he read and was tossed onto a bonfire with his clothes, then re thrived by Brian's gardener...fact...
Avec ce que j'ai pu lire durant le coco , Keith et Mick ne sont pas de notre côté , ce sont des vendus comme tout les autres ...
Brian était les Rolling Stones , ils n'ont fait que copier le génie de Brian
seems none of them planned it was going to last forever .. thats the best part.
Brian Jones joining the Doors or working with Hendrix
+René Moncayo Hendrix maybe. Had no relationship with the Doors (who were already carrying drunken dead weight with Jim)
+Rolling Ormond - Anna Wohlin ( the Swedish girl that lived with Brian before he died ) said that Hendrix, John Lennon and Brian were going to perhaps form a super-group together. Anita Pallenberg said that Brian had met with Alexis Korner and Alexis was helping Brian to put a band together. Brian had also been talking to his lawyer about suing Mick and Keith because Brian owned the name " The Rolling Stones" as it was his band and he started it. Brian would have had no problem putting another band together as everyone wanted to be in a band with Brian because he was a brilliant and very talented musician who played at least 30 different instruments and as a child he was a classically trained pianist who could read music.
That supergroup would have put everyone out of business until the Ramones and the sex Pistols
Honey Lambb The supergroup rumor is a fantasy. Brian's old mentor Alexis Korner visited him for the possibility of touring together and Brian couldn't even coordinate his hands to the guitar strings. All the Mandrax and DMT destroyed his coordination; he was long past his peak.
René Moncayo Ramones and Sex Pistols couldn't carry Brian or Hendrix's amps much less match them musically.
Brian Jones played the instruments that made the Stones world famous.
Keith and Jagger and Charlie never recommended rehabilitation for their mate.Keth stole his girlfriend.Jagger stole his band.
Brian Jones guitars gave the Stones an identity that the band never had.
Sympathy for the devil.
Im kinna don't wanna hear no more rolling Stones,after I found out how bogus they treated this man. THE REAL ROLLING STONE!!!
Brian mort les stones mort aussi !!!
C'est sur que c'est Brian Jones qui a écrit Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on main street........
Non je ne suis pas d'accord même si Brian était un très bon musicien et le seul que je n'ai pas vu........en vrai .....
It was all about the💲Brian should of received production credit on the songs. It should of been (Jagger Jones & Richards) on Ruby Tuesday, Under my thumb, Paint It Black, Get off of my Cloud Ect Ect. Anita was a "Gold Digger" Keith has a Rolls Royce! Brian still living in a flat? She knew who was making the money💲
The volume is low?
I watched the film "Stoned" last night, an interesting document re the life & death of Brian Jones.
How can anyone in their right mind say that Brian Jones "founded the Rolling Stones when their debut performance at the Marquee Club On July 12th 1962 consisted of the band called the Blue Boys, Keith's band that had been founded the year before. They had changed their name and they added two new players Brian and Ian Stewart but the rest of the band was Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Dick Taylor on Bass and the drummer Tony Chapman.
The performers on stage that night were the entire Blue Boys band, Keith's band.
The only group Brian Jones ever founded was the 27 club.
It is all a myth and a lie to say that Brian Jones founded the Rolling Stones.
Brian JOINED the Blue Boys,Keith's band and THAT band then changed their name to the Rollin Stone
It was Keith and Mick who brought the entire Blue Boys band together and then when Brian and Ian asked to join they brought them in as well.. the Rollin Stones were Keith's band and he founded them. and led them to world wide fame and success.
Very sad!
