it would be interesting in which direction the stones would have moved, if brian would be alive and have rejoined them after their work with mick taylor. since the cooperation with ron wood the stones are just a fun rock n roll band in my ears but never had that strong songs like 19th nervous breakdown, jumpin jack flash, sway and so on. would be great if brian would be there and performs with the craziest instruments over the songwriting of mick and keith.
95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop songs over and over. if your one of the 5%? left who still listen to real music, thunb this up, then copy and paste it to? DONT LET THE SPIRIT OF ROCK DIE
Anybody can form a band, or come up with a name. He had very little to do with the writing of the music. I've met people in the music business who met him, and they all said he sucked.
@ScottMasson Not anybody can form a band, give them a name that don't sound old 40 years later and make them successful. He started it all. Mick and Keith made them keep going. I've also met people who met or knew Brian personally and they liked him.
if brian will live to see stones music from 78 to this time he will die from a massive heart attack what a crap a shit music RIP brian founder of the stones
Awesome footage! I just read, "Life" by Keith Richards. I always thought The Stones were cool but I am, just now learning to appreciate them. Rock on!
There are probably a lot of things that happened between the guys that we don't know about, so whether or not "The Rolling Stones" are "The Rolling Stones" without Brian...we can only wonder. I like to think of "The Rolling Stones" as something great that happened, not as a battle of who was better than who.
Brian was the soul of the band, but the talent lives on how do you think they are still around today, because they live and breath music 40 years after Brian death. As i heard in a American film the other day ( Get him To The Greek ) about an English rock star they never die, look at MIck still there at 68, fuck most people just lay down and die at that age. Long live the Stones
So he died in a pool and a movie was coming out about this with the accusation Jagger had something to do with it, and then all of the sudden the movie was pulled??
Wyman talks about proper songwriting credits in his book "STONE ALONE" . And there are several songs -- hits -- that both Wyman & Jones didn't get credit for. Wyman was there so he'd know the real story. Unfortunately this pattern continued with Ry Cooder, Mick Taylor and even Ronnie Wood. The later was smart enough just to go along with band rules. The "STONES" 60's soundz are highly influenced by Sir Brian Jones. Soooooooo many songs that had the Brian Jones STAMP on them.
@Cupidville I had such a crush on Brian. I even had a high-school sweetheart who looked just like him. I had a pen-pal in Liverpool who sent me pictures British of Brian and I sent her American pictures of Paul McCartney. We were both 17. I haven't paid any attention to the Stones since Altamont. I have always held Mick and Keith responsible for Brian's murder. It was Keith's contractor who drowned him and admitted it on his death bed.
Brian Jones being the 'leader' and the 'soul' of the Stones is as big a myth as is the monster of Loch Ness. He has written zero songs (simply because he couldn't) and was considered a nuisance very early on in the existance of the band. He was a lazy irritating twat who couldn't handle booze and drugs. Despite several efforts of Jagger and Richards to get him on trach again, he kept failing them. Sorry, but that's the truth, dead or not.
@Gsiem1 Sure. You believe what you want of course. I didn't knew Brian personally so I have to go by the things that people who knew him say. That's really the only facts we have since he isn't here to defend himself.
The truth is the Rolling Stones reached their peak with Mick Taylor in the early 70s. Jones had no songwriting skills and was a useless vegetable by the late 60s.
They were all Rolling Stones. Each had their duty and position. The best that ever was and the best that ever will be. I am old and I still listen to RADIO, nothing better than hearing Jumpin' Jack Flash on your local channel.
@cwegers1 - Yes! Jagger/Richards wrote most of the Rolling Stones' songs; but, it's obvious, and, has been said and written many times, that Brian Jones got them started, managed them, got their first gigs, got them noticed, arranged the songs, added many instruments to their songs, molded their sound, and, pretty much made the songs better sounding hits. Although the Rolling Stones continued to sound great, anyone can see as soon as Jones was out of the group, their sound immediately changed.
@cwegers1 - (Didn't have the space to finish) One of the sound men who worked with the Stones said that Brian Jones couldn't write a song to save his life. But, he could vastly improve songs if given material to work with. Once, Keith Richards walked into a studio where Brian was recording "original" songs, but, as the interview went, Brian was wasted and ended up ruining the tape. Keith also said that from what he had heard, they were good-sounding tunes!?!? That's a shame they were lost!
@classiclistener01 Brian could most likely not write commercial pop tunes like the glimmers. I think that he was too much of a musician's soul to do that. But it's a fact that he could both compose and produce music.
GOOD OL' BRIAN JONES....DID YOU FOLKS KNOW BRIAN GAVE NOEL REDDING (BASS PLAYER, JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE), HIS FIRST LSD TABLET ON A PLANE TO NEW YORK.
@sharonkayb It had to be done for the band to evolve. Oldham was a prick but a smart prick who played the three ego's against each other. The weakest part was bound the fail and that was Brian.
He still got his fair share of the limelight with his talent for playing various instruments..
@Barnekkid Watts got married in `64. Not a lot of people who did that can say they are still married. He was always faithful to his wife. Not a lot of people can say that either, especially given the temptations that go with being a rock icon. In his youth he played a lot of sport. He was a graphic designer, and a musician. Now he has a jazz band and breeds horses. Theres a bit more to the man than meets the eye.
Multi talented musician, founder of the Stones along with Ian Stewart, Mick and Keith moved on after they started to write songs and Brian couldn't write to save his life according to Keith, who tried to collaborate with his band mate. As for trying to stay true to the Blues, of course he would, given that if they stayed a cover band he would remain relevant to the group. By many accounts a tortured soul but extremely mean and vicious, and prone to beating his girlfriends e.g., Anita P!
@god7father There are people who claim Brian did write and record at home and we have his soundtrack as proof for it. He didn't write for the Stones but according to Wyman it would have been very hard to do so after the Jagger/Richards duo trademark had been formed.
Brian as mean and vicious has been pretty exaggerated. He did however have a dark side to him i.e being abusive to women and acting like a SOB.. He wasn't innocent but he wasn't alone acting like he did. Lennon comes to mind.

...I believe that Mike and Keith distanced Brian and that caused his downfall. Brain was the boss and founder of the 'Stones' and Mike and Keith operated a take over. They wanted commercialism and Brain wanted to stick to blues. I guess the old ££££'s agenda won..... very, very sad. Young musicians beware!
Some of this footage was on 25 by 5 ( VHS 1989/ 90). Nice to see more. But can you imagine initiating a world wide collosus, only to be sacked by them? Taylor was brilliant, but they should've just suspended Jones to scare him. They got my attention as a 17 year old BECAUSE of Jones.
When the Stones first got started, Brian was definitely the most accomplished musician, but he just spiralled down into hell...with drugs, paranoia, and he got meaner and meaner. Sad, sad thing.
Hers the thing, though I love Brians work, take away his imput in any song and its missing him, but its still the stones, take away miks voice, or keiths guitar and its a much bigger hole of the Stones sound gone.
@swindonbadger Brian had a great sense of timing which is most important subtlety. After Brian's departure the Stones sputtered a bit but picked themselves up, mainly on the strength of works like Gimme Shelter. It was likely a relief to get away from the stress of trying to work with someone that clearly wasn't, due to drugs & booze. The Blond Stone remains my Favourite Stone, for the record.
Mick and Keef always resented Jones a bit, as he was really the visonairy for their sound.
You know, Mick and Keith really weren't into the whole R+B/Blues scene until they met him.
And they took the band to a pretty lousy "psych rock" era for years. Ironically, it was only when Jones died that they went back to their R+B routes and had a lot fo their bigger hits
brian has become too much of a god because of his death. brian was a extremely talented musician, no doubt about it, but saying he was the leader of stones is complete bollocks. he might have wanted it to look that way but he wasnt. keith and mick wrote the songs, they got it all together and they took responsibility for the band. brian was very irresponsible and pretty much a fuck-up. however, he was essential to their sound and to forming of the band. but ian stewart was also very important
@Taarok Somewhat true. But he was the leader back in 63-64. Nobody worked harder than him back then to promote them and do the dirty work. He made it happend in the beginning. Mick and Keith didn't join that train until Oldham turned them into song writers and tried to turn Brian into a session man.
@INUIT3333 "Women haircut"? Call it what you want. Others followed that look. :) Yes, Mick and Keith wrote the songs and Brian had the ability to make those songs memorable with his addings. That's what he is (or should)be remembered for. Brian also formed the band and namned them. He worked his arse off to get somewhere with the band and Keith thank him today by trashing him.
Keith became the soul in the late 60's. Brian was the original one. The bad ass Keith wanted to be but was too shy for.
@atticthoughts bj too shy? his ego was screaming for the bad ass image that keith ended up with. bj should be remembered as a woman basher, secondly as a musical genius (in the early days, and yes, don't forget ian stuart if you think bj was that influential) that got swallowed up by his own extravagances and creative writing inadequacies. he couldn't handle it, his outrageous ego was damaged, that was the end of bj. i do love the musical brian touches on early stones stuff, don't get me wrong.
Look at the REAL story....Misadventure, yeah right, Brian had the equivalent of a glass of wine and therapeutic amounts of antidepressant in his system. Also, what happened to all of Brian's things from Cotchford Farm?..well there is that pic of Keith and Anita (holding Marlon) and Brian's tapestry hanging behind them...hmm...What about the recordings Brian was doing when he died?...Oh yeah, those and his clothes was found in a burn pile in the back a couple of days after he died...Who did it?
Keith would disagree with this, Brian appointed himself leader and it didn't take long before they got pissed with that. Keith had a pirates attitude. All on the table, split even, pieces of eight, while Brian thought he could convince people he was in charge.
Brian was so lost in a hole and couldn't even see it.
@Motownisyourtown Keith's full of crap - so who cares? Brian WAS the leader back then because he worked his arse of for the band while the others still wondered if they should gp for the music or not.. Brian even gave them the name and was selected as the one who should tell Stu he wasn't hansom enough to be in the band.
When the others (read M&K) found out Brian had been getting slightly bigger slice of the income they became mad and started to bully him. Keith never mention that.
@atticthoughts Keith did mention that, he says that it was mainly because Brian never turned up for practice and when he did he was a bit childish,, unfortunately the whole band seemed to agree with that. Anita Pallenberg agrees with it. The fact Phil Spector ended up playing on Let it Bleed is evidence of that. He just wouldn't turn up so they resented him. Plus, they were all about the music. They just chose to move forward into stuff like Exile and Let it Bleed and Brian didn't want that.
@Motownisyourtown You talk about 1968 and I talk about 1964. Keith never goes into details and only blame Jones for what happend. He knows that isn't true. Jones was a fuck up but it wasn't only his fault that it went downhill in 1968. By then he wanted out. Brian was all about music and dispised the Satanic album hard. He was happy to return to the roots but not in a band who he felt hated him and ignoring him in the studio. The Stones wanted him out because of his personal and legal problems.
I remember my parents commenting on his death when I was a kid. They were, sadley, not complimentry. Hard to believe it was over 40 years ago and he would be 68 now. I wonder what he would have gone on to do, if he would have lived and sorted himself out.
Anita Pallenberg is often wrongly blamed for Brian and Keith Richards down times, but I think they must all take the responsability for their own actions and sadley Brian Jones payed with his life. It could have been Kieth or Anita.

Brian was more talented than any other English rock star. The man could literally play any thing. He gave the Stones a very distinctive sound on songs like Paint it Black, Ruby Tuesday, Dandelion, Under my Thumb, Back Street Girl, 2000 Light Years from home.... and on and on.........
He was the first to get it all together but the one who was the first to fall apart. It doesn't seem to be any coincidence though that both he and Keith reached their lowest points when in a relationship with Anita Pallenberg.
@AREYOUHENDRIXED Brian wasn't too stoned to play guitar on stage. He was absent a couple of times according to Keith but he was suppose to do when he performed. He was however too stoned to play in the studio sometimes - mostly during 66 and early 67.
Mick Taylor is an amazing guitar player but he shouldn't be compared with Brian. They are great musicians in their own right - Ronnie as well.
As Charlie Watts has said, "Brian didn't live long enough to do all the things he wanted to do....or thought he could do. I don't know if he could have done them"
@peacemonger1967 By most accounts Brian was a sensitive and talented guy with a great sense of humour. He definitely had his dark sides but he wasn't any worse than others back then. Only Keith and his arse kissers trash him.
Brian Jones never wrote a goddamned lick. He lost interest in playing guitar in late 1965, two years after they made it and four before he died. He was an insecure name dropper who used to beat his girlfriends and was more interested in playing the fame game than playing music. The Rolling Stones became The Rolling Stones with Beggars Banquet and Brian didn't play shit in it. Three more masterpieces followed without Brian. When he was fired Keith made the band the best. Thanks Brian, you sucked.
@cactaceous i think that brians most important contribution to the stones was being persistant at the beginning of their career, mick would have probably been a retired bank manager today. i do have to agree with you unfortunately about brians disinterest almost forcing keith to take over. brian kinda turned into a head game playing baby toward the end. He did play a mean dulcimer though!! LOL!!!
@grassflat1 Nah, he didn't just loose it and played baby. It was a little more complicated than that. But you're right about Mick being a retired bank manager if Brian hadn't worked his arse off at the start.. He formed them, named them and lived the life the Stones were all about. Mick and Keith were school boys compared to him. Brian played a mean dulcimer, mellotron, harmonica and slide guitar. He was an innovative musician although no genius in any way. He deserves to be remembered for that
@cactaceous Except for loosing interest in the guitar and beating two of his girlfriends - there weren't many rights in that post of yours. Do your homework before posting something like that next time.
Well Ponyboy430 that must have been some hill that they were on top of in July '69 because according to you they are still going down it 41 years later. Bollocks!!
@MrLaterusal, Brian was your grandmother's cousin?Interesting.Making you Brian's cousin,twice removed?Am i right,or?What was your nan's name?I'm not checking up,honest,i believe you,it's not something someone would comment if not true.Andy.
@Huwson1 He didn't initiate their songs but he very often finished them to a point where they sounded great. Take "Under My Thumb". He doesn't have a writer's credit but his marimbas riff is the dominant melody -- it even kicks off the song. I suspect Brian (and Mick) had more to do with that song than did Keith. Same with "The Last Time" -- the guitar riff dominates throughout. There are countless others, "Ruby Tuesday" for example.
No Stones without Jones.

When the Stones first got started, Brian was definitely the most accomplished musician, but he just spiralled down into hell...with drugs, paranoia, and he got meaner and meaner. Sad, sad thing.

Hers the thing, though I love Brians work, take away his imput in any song and its missing him, but its still the stones, take away miks voice, or keiths guitar and its a much bigger hole of the Stones sound gone.
swindonbadger 1 year ago
@swindonbadger Brian had a great sense of timing which is most important subtlety. After Brian's departure the Stones sputtered a bit but picked themselves up, mainly on the strength of works like Gimme Shelter. It was likely a relief to get away from the stress of trying to work with someone that clearly wasn't, due to drugs & booze. The Blond Stone remains my Favourite Stone, for the record.

I belive Brain was the musical genius of the Rolling Stones
He was able to play everything...but he found drugs and destroyed himself...
In the late 60th Brain was empty...he don't work and was always high,
the Stones had to disconnent of Brain.
He was a shadow of himself, he was a ruin....

Mick and Keef always resented Jones a bit, as he was really the visonairy for their sound.
You know, Mick and Keith really weren't into the whole R+B/Blues scene until they met him.
And they took the band to a pretty lousy "psych rock" era for years. Ironically, it was only when Jones died that they went back to their R+B routes and had a lot fo their bigger hits

brian has become too much of a god because of his death. brian was a extremely talented musician, no doubt about it, but saying he was the leader of stones is complete bollocks. he might have wanted it to look that way but he wasnt. keith and mick wrote the songs, they got it all together and they took responsibility for the band. brian was very irresponsible and pretty much a fuck-up. however, he was essential to their sound and to forming of the band. but ian stewart was also very important
Taarok 1 year ago
@Taarok Somewhat true. But he was the leader back in 63-64. Nobody worked harder than him back then to promote them and do the dirty work. He made it happend in the beginning. Mick and Keith didn't join that train until Oldham turned them into song writers and tried to turn Brian into a session man.

Who was the guy with the women-haircut? Who wrote the songs=Mick und KEITH! And one of my favorites, Champaign and reefer,
from Muddy Waters, for example All time, when the Stones making BLACK MUSIC, they are best.................WHAT CAME FROM BRIAN? WHAT?
What the "Specialists" write here, are only the same sentences from K.Richards new book "LIVE".

@INUIT3333 "Women haircut"? Call it what you want. Others followed that look. :) Yes, Mick and Keith wrote the songs and Brian had the ability to make those songs memorable with his addings. That's what he is (or should)be remembered for. Brian also formed the band and namned them. He worked his arse off to get somewhere with the band and Keith thank him today by trashing him.
Keith became the soul in the late 60's. Brian was the original one. The bad ass Keith wanted to be but was too shy for.
atticthoughts 1 year ago
@atticthoughts bj too shy? his ego was screaming for the bad ass image that keith ended up with. bj should be remembered as a woman basher, secondly as a musical genius (in the early days, and yes, don't forget ian stuart if you think bj was that influential) that got swallowed up by his own extravagances and creative writing inadequacies. he couldn't handle it, his outrageous ego was damaged, that was the end of bj. i do love the musical brian touches on early stones stuff, don't get me wrong.

Also, what happened to all of Brian's things from Cotchford Farm?..well there is that pic of Keith and Anita (holding Marlon) and Brian's tapestry hanging behind them...hmm...What about the recordings Brian was doing when he died?...Oh yeah, those and his clothes was found in a burn pile in the back a couple of days after he died...Who did it?

Keith would disagree with this, Brian appointed himself leader and it didn't take long before they got pissed with that. Keith had a pirates attitude. All on the table, split even, pieces of eight, while Brian thought he could convince people he was in charge.
Brian was so lost in a hole and couldn't even see it.

@Motownisyourtown Keith's full of crap - so who cares? Brian WAS the leader back then because he worked his arse of for the band while the others still wondered if they should gp for the music or not.. Brian even gave them the name and was selected as the one who should tell Stu he wasn't hansom enough to be in the band.
When the others (read M&K) found out Brian had been getting slightly bigger slice of the income they became mad and started to bully him. Keith never mention that.
atticthoughts 1 year ago
@atticthoughts Keith did mention that, he says that it was mainly because Brian never turned up for practice and when he did he was a bit childish,, unfortunately the whole band seemed to agree with that. Anita Pallenberg agrees with it. The fact Phil Spector ended up playing on Let it Bleed is evidence of that. He just wouldn't turn up so they resented him. Plus, they were all about the music. They just chose to move forward into stuff like Exile and Let it Bleed and Brian didn't want that.
Motownisyourtown 1 year ago
@Motownisyourtown You talk about 1968 and I talk about 1964. Keith never goes into details and only blame Jones for what happend. He knows that isn't true. Jones was a fuck up but it wasn't only his fault that it went downhill in 1968. By then he wanted out. Brian was all about music and dispised the Satanic album hard. He was happy to return to the roots but not in a band who he felt hated him and ignoring him in the studio. The Stones wanted him out because of his personal and legal problems.
atticthoughts 1 year ago
I remember my parents commenting on his death when I was a kid. They were, sadley, not complimentry. Hard to believe it was over 40 years ago and he would be 68 now. I wonder what he would have gone on to do, if he would have lived and sorted himself out.
Anita Pallenberg is often wrongly blamed for Brian and Keith Richards down times, but I think they must all take the responsability for their own actions and sadley Brian Jones payed with his life. It could have been Kieth or Anita.

Brian was more talented than any other English rock star. The man could literally play any thing. He gave the Stones a very distinctive sound on songs like Paint it Black, Ruby Tuesday, Dandelion, Under my Thumb, Back Street Girl, 2000 Light Years from home.... and on and on.........

He was the first to get it all together but the one who was the first to fall apart. It doesn't seem to be any coincidence though that both he and Keith reached their lowest points when in a relationship with Anita Pallenberg.

@AREYOUHENDRIXED Brian wasn't too stoned to play guitar on stage. He was absent a couple of times according to Keith but he was suppose to do when he performed. He was however too stoned to play in the studio sometimes - mostly during 66 and early 67.
Mick Taylor is an amazing guitar player but he shouldn't be compared with Brian. They are great musicians in their own right - Ronnie as well.

Brian Jones never wrote a goddamned lick. He lost interest in playing guitar in late 1965, two years after they made it and four before he died. He was an insecure name dropper who used to beat his girlfriends and was more interested in playing the fame game than playing music. The Rolling Stones became The Rolling Stones with Beggars Banquet and Brian didn't play shit in it. Three more masterpieces followed without Brian. When he was fired Keith made the band the best. Thanks Brian, you sucked.
cactaceous 1 year ago
@cactaceous i think that brians most important contribution to the stones was being persistant at the beginning of their career, mick would have probably been a retired bank manager today. i do have to agree with you unfortunately about brians disinterest almost forcing keith to take over. brian kinda turned into a head game playing baby toward the end. He did play a mean dulcimer though!! LOL!!!
grassflat1 1 year ago
@grassflat1 Nah, he didn't just loose it and played baby. It was a little more complicated than that. But you're right about Mick being a retired bank manager if Brian hadn't worked his arse off at the start.. He formed them, named them and lived the life the Stones were all about. Mick and Keith were school boys compared to him. Brian played a mean dulcimer, mellotron, harmonica and slide guitar. He was an innovative musician although no genius in any way. He deserves to be remembered for that

Classic case with Brian Jones - Thought he was the boss but could not write songs
Huwson1 1 year ago
@Huwson1 He didn't initiate their songs but he very often finished them to a point where they sounded great. Take "Under My Thumb". He doesn't have a writer's credit but his marimbas riff is the dominant melody -- it even kicks off the song. I suspect Brian (and Mick) had more to do with that song than did Keith. Same with "The Last Time" -- the guitar riff dominates throughout. There are countless others, "Ruby Tuesday" for example.
