Brian Jones 2

[Galericulus]

"Hearsay" does not mean made up. It is clear that you have little or no understanding of what constitutes evidence. Hearsay means something stated by a third party, not you or the person you are accusing (in this case Brian Jones). As for anything being "a rather well known fact", it was believed by everybody but a few people like me that the earth was flat. This did not make their assumption correct. Is there any reliable, impartial corroborative evidence from doctors, social workers, etc?

[devoymoe]

He seems quite pleasant and nice in this short clip , of course that tells nothing , but I've read a good bit about the band and he was apparently a very nasty person at times. I know paper never refuses ink , but all writings seem to suggest he was horrible , mean , nasty and cruel to a lot of people

[atticthoughts]

@devoymoe Charlie Watts has compared Brian with John Lennon saying that they both could be funny and nice guys but that they had a pretty cruel side to them. Brian was a mess emotionally but he wasn't as horrible as the glimmers wants us to believe. If they mean what they say then why were they friends with him and why do they turn pale when being asked about him today? Brian's darker and a self destructive side has been exaggerated particularly by Keith for reasons unknown (Anita?).

[Galericulus]

@devoymoe And where is your evidence for these allegations?

BRIAN WAS A GENIUS, HE WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME.

[anintals]

It's sad how he died but he was a woman beater. Just sayin!

[atticthoughts]

@anintals Just like Lennon, Ozzy, Syd Barrett, Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood. They are forgiven. Why not Brian?

[mancheromanchero]

@anintals who isnt? Just sayin!

[Galericulus]

@anintals Based on what evidence? Did you actually see this yourself? If you didn't, then it is only rumour, speculation or assumption.

[anintals]

@Galericulus I have read bibliographies as well as autobiographies from people who have worked with and/or lived with the rolling stones, as well as from members from the rolling stones themselves. I'm a big fan, read many articles and have heard audible accounts from brian jones' wife. I've made no assumptions, but if you're implying that because I was not there first hand to see brian jones physically beat his wife, then I can only assume, well, you're an clearly an idiot.

[Galericulus]

@anintals As I suspected, nothing but hearsay evidence from dubious sources, secondhand, thirdhand or worse. As for your rude and ignorant non sequitur in the last sentence, you have demonstated yourself who is the idiot.

[anintals]

@Galericulus Hearsay? Are you suggesting all these sources of information were made up? It's actually a rather well known fact that Brian Jones beat his wife on many occasions. You clearly haven't researched any of this and so your argument holds no grounds. I wasn't around for the Rodney King beating, heard that through second hand sources, guess I would be a fool to presume that ever happened as well. You're an 'idiot' for arguing over something you have little to no knowledge off. Shame.

[atticthoughts]

@anintals Brian couldn't have beat his wife since he never married. :P There are, however, witnesses that say he did beat three of his girlfriends - Linda, Anita and Suki. He could be a violent bastard towards his women when on drugs (since Pat and Anna claim he never beat them)...sadly not that uncommon among rock n roll stars.

[mokacode]

Maybe he should have quit the band around 67 and formed his own in order to fully and freely experiment what was in his mind back then.Jaegger and Richard are merely credited as authors but Jones contribution was enormous IMO.....underrated artist...

[Kevinasp]

His IQ was apparently 135, which was tested when he was 11. In 1967 when he saw Dr Neustatter, it was 133, so it must have slipped slightly between 1953 and 1967.. However, whilst he was very intelligent and talented, you shouldn't put much store into IQ tests, as they measure one's ability at performing IQ tests!

[gillybgoode]

We love you Brian and pray for your peace.

You are dearly missed and highly respected.

Bless you.

[HP281]

Look at those dark rings around his eyes, oh dear. I read he had a very high IQ, too high for the game he was in. Who knows, keef richards says he was an arse but he aint right about everything nobody is. Lets hope hes happy in the after life.

[gillybgoode]

Brian is the biggest gem in the crown of rock n roll. We miss you and love you Brian. You are roick n roll royalty.

[thejmbskater33]

it's lovely to hear Brian's voice so sweet and clear. he punished himself with stuff in his body he made horrible mistakes with minor girls.but his talent in music could not deny. the rolling stones is a group (bunch of guys) Brian is something else. I'm sure that mike can not deny his superiority.

[ElmoLewiss]

this is brian in sweet mode, find the clip of him on here where he's in full anger mode.

[gillybgoode]

Never saw a clip of him like that. Have you?

[ElmoLewiss]

yes, type in retrobites the rolling stones,  short clip of brian with an attitude.

[gillybgoode]

Wow! Pretty cool! Love Brian!!! Everyone gets attitude at times... we still love him!

[Akirachan13]

cute voice!

[elwalsho]

i recognise the interviewer.he was on the beatles anthology various times,including an interview after the release of penny lane...please don't use this comment to start another beatles/stones arguments like i've seen on so any videos.i love both bands.RIP Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones.

[petertmorton]

the guy is called Brian Mathews interviewing Brian Jones,and he is still going strong on radio 2 in England presenting a show playing music from the 60s every sunday morning.

[SamEmdee987]

Beatles V Stones! The best band is... Nah, i'm kidding, I love them both too.

[spangla777]

1964

[mokhotlong]

From which year is this interview?

[ElmoLewiss]
