He reminds me of Malcolm Mac Dowell... this is a "school- generation thing' as englands modes of cultural affect ...for US require a translater just about...its difficult to have all the Stones blather about him ...as you try to "get" him......they dont have reason to slight him....but that they DID ..and with keith slights in the book....Jagger requires A &R...jones tells A&R..will you piss off please....
@Alithecomedian You experienced it then ? O.o Damn you lucky bastard...From what I have read he was an ass, even if he was depressed. I respect the man no matter what tho.
it really does sound like a brian tipe of song, kinda medieval, little baroque, along with keef's input this is a realy nice jam, to bad it wasn't released or made something more out of it...

Bonjour, vous aimez les sixties ? écoutez et podcastez mon émission "le super son des 60's" sur le site de plumfm. You like the 60's ? please, listen and podcast my broadcast "le super son des 60's", connect to "plumfm". Salut et faites gaffe au rock and roll.
what year is this from again? Lovely acoustic guitar sound. It's intriguing. Brian was a great great musician, pity he couldn't write songs though, I think that was his downfall, maybe jealous of Mick and Keith, but his contribution really made a lot of those mid sixties stones songs/lp's. The Stones never would have got to where they were going without Brian's musicianship. A great loss at such a young age, I'm sure he would have found his niche if he'd stuck around. Different times I guess.
@cottageorgan I think his downfall was that he had a LOT of issues with himself and other people because of deep insecurities and then the Stones didnt go his way in the way that he felt he was being recognised.But because of his personality he could be mean & spiteful & cruel to people and isolated himself as well as having the ability to be nice.Many people loved him,like The Beatles who he got on with.His problems he compounded with heavy drug & alcohol use ; the Pallenberg issue finished him

@Galericulus Sind Sie Deutscher? Ich bin deutsch-amerikanischen American zweiten Generation aller deutschen extratction. Beide Grosseltern mutterlicher-und vaterlicherseits kam aus Deutschland.
Ich mag die deutsche Bands wie Einsturzende Neubauten, Xmal Deutschland, Rammstien, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Rammstein. Ich mag auch die Kinks, Who, The Yardbirds, The Animals, Them, Small Faces, Rolling Stones (wahrend Brian noch lebte), Pretty Things, Manfred Mann, Peter & Gordon, Chad & Jeremy.
@Galericulus: I should not have assumed, I just thought when I saw your Autobahn video that you were from Germany. Never assume! Yes, I used to listen to a lot of Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream. Love Rammstien. An Anglophile at heart. I love the British bands. I also love the early punk mid to late sevenites.
@bloderme1 Sorry, but I cannot take credit for the Autobahn video. That was compiled and posted by somebody else. I do like the album though. What interests me about you is that Germans are renowned for being strict disciplinarians and for respecting authority and order, yet most of the groups you list, and punk, actively rebel against the established order to a greater or lesser extent. Or perhaps I have been misled by the stereotype?
@Galericulus : No, we are control freaks and perfectionists (some of us), but also rebel against authority (what have you got)? I also like Nina Hagen. One of my favorites. There was the Baader-Meinhof, and Red Rudy,(Rudi Dutschke), and other radicals of the sixties and early seventies. I think some of the early German bands came out of the frustration that was going on at the time. I like Brian & Keith's duet, Brian was a good finger picker. Sounds like country blues.
Big Supriise.48 years ago,I have never heard this composition on the plate,It could be a beautifull introduction for a longer song.Thanks for the post.
There's a book that was written by Brian's girlfriend that said a single had been recorded and ready for release at time of his death. I wonder what became of this recording. I bet it's pretty good!
Great and original composition. It sonds like a flying from the earth to the sky..It is a pity that Brian Jones had so short life and perheps no time to writes more songs,
What an odd song! If Brian Jones wrote this, it sounds like he wasn't sure if he wanted to compose a classical or a bluegrass song. One of the stranger tunes I've heard in a while.
Nearly all the commenters are squabbling about how fantastic or mediocre Brian Jones was, and not if the song is legitimate Jones/Richards. The poster states "this may be a Jones composition." To me the "strings" sound like a synth. At this time in their career the Stones were still recording loads of covers. And at this point in HIS career, Brian wouldn't have the juice/power to put out a solo record. This is musically repetitive and uninspired. Don't think it's J/R.
@yungleyim I thought the same thing. I have dobts about this. Sounds like a mellatron. . They werent using these until 1967. Sure werent thinking anything so sophisticated in 1964. Red Rooster Its all over now etc. They werernt really using acoustic guutars. Good Times Bad Times was probably the only one and that wqas pure blues. This is a fusion of styles.
@ericlovesjudy I agree. I often wonder what might have happened if Paul Jones had taken up Brian's offer of becoming the Rolling Stones' vocalist. Better voice, same dedication to the blues as Brian, and no limelight-snatching and girlfriend-snatching grimmer twins cuckolding him and elbowing him out of the group he created himself.
@Galericulus Brian never wanted Mick for the singer in his band, he waned Paul Jones. Jones was better looking, could sing, unlike Mick, and is a better harp player.
So what, the stones are still one of the best rock bands on the planet, and the beatles we're knighted by the queen as we're many other British rock groups that gave the Queen a lot of money, lol...Big deal, now they can put Esq.. after their name, long live the queen,
Not true that Brian couldn't sing or write songs. And as far as him being jealous of Keith and Mick, hardly. He was disgusted that the blues band he started turned into a pop band. He grew more disillusioned. And as for woman beater, Keith cheated on Anita, that he worked so hard to get away from Brian. He also clobbered her a few times. And what do you say Keith being busted for heroin in Canada by the mounties? And by the way Keith and Anita look these days, they have got their karma!
@bloderme bj could not singwell that is true no one else could have been the lead singer but Jagger,he made that sound singing an english man from deep south usa. and sounded good at it even though he is full of himself an anti establishment,writer/sing leting the Queen Knight him, thats wierd even that jurk kieth believed that.haaaaa
@ darrenfinizio, at first keith maybe now be a good technical player, BUT brian tought hem to play the guitar, other then some chuck berry riffs, brian was the musicall drive, and very important in the beginning. though his mental instabillity broke him up...
@JimiHendrixFeyenoord Not only that, Anita Pallenberg his then girlfriend talked him into going with her to Germany where she was making a film for Volker Schlondorff, Mord und Totschlag, a Degree of Murder.
He wrote composed and played several instruments on that. He was a genius@
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well its not that he ripped the shit out of instruments, he just knew what to use and when and how much. Listen to the harmonica solos in some of the early stones stuff. He wasnt AMAZING one any one instrument which is the price you pay for playing about 15 of them. I think thats what makes him a "master musician". I mean hes one of my idols who influenced me to pick up the 11 instruments i play but I am not saying it out of arrogance. Just admiration of Brianand his influence on me musically.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well I mean maybe youre right. I dunno. At the time he was a huge influence and he could d o no wrong,. Now that i look back, I see all the stuff he did was bland BUT he showed me that it COULD be done. I dunno. I still think hes great.
I myself was surprised at all he did. Examples of Jones's contributions are slide guitar on Be Your Man,King Bee, Rooster,Satisfied,Grown Wrong,Bother Me and Expectations. Sitar on Street Fighting + Paint It Black. Organ on Spend the Night, Complicated + 2000 Man. Marimba on Thumb,Out Of Time + Papers. Recorder on Tuesday + Sold Out. Trumpet on Moon,dulcimer on Waiting, harpsichord on Jane, accordion on Backstreet, sax/oboe on Dandelion, mellotron on Rainbow,Love You,Stray Cat and 2000.
interesting.....i had no idea.......that [is] quite a resume.....although, according to all of the memebers of the band he couldn't write a song to save his life -- [that] i'm inclinded to believe.
This is true. Brian Jones was a blues purist and, by his own admission, couldn't write anything outside of a straight forward blues idiom. That is why I find it hard to believe he would write this song. this song was most likely a Jagger/Richards composition. Jones also had no intention ever of writing a solo LP, although there was an attempt at a collaboration involving Jones and Gene Pitney -- any results of which, by all reliable accounts, is best left in the vaults.
@darrenfinizio dude you dont know what you talking about, jones did some songwriting like jajouka and a degree of murder he also wrote my little one with jimi hendrix. all this wasnt blues. this proves at least in my eyes that he could write songs. he was only too shy to let people hear the most of his compositions
@darrenfinizio So much talent....He became bored with the guitar. It's funny but the Beatles would have brought session guys in to play all the things Brian could do himself.
@chaycee52 yes, it's called cut-and-paste wyklopedia........lol........just wanted to see if all the brianjones hype was true.............turns out [it is]..............to some extent anyway.
@darrenfinizio Yep, multi-instrumentalist.. Can't forget the blues harp (harmonica). Although there is a ton of great harp solos on the early stuff, two come to mind that really show his ability, "Look What You've Done" and "High & Dry".
@darrenfinizio Thanks for sharing this all in a clump.lol. Over the years I hear of Brian's contributions to many songs from various artists. He plays that very cool sax solo on the Beatles "You Know My Name", also does percussion on Jimi Hendrix's(written by B.Dylan) "All Along the Watchtower". note: There's some big names colaberating on that session(Dave Mason played accoustic guitar on that song)
@darrenfinizio Brian was very prolific and knowledgable and extreamly talented he could pick up any instrament and master it in less than a day and the best slide and harp fa sure and you r awear with out him there never would of been the ROLLING STONES... dam skippy its true
I'd like to believe that Brian wrote this but it sounds like Keith on guitar. Similar to what Keith played on his acoustic in Charlie is My Darling in the dressing room before they went on stage.
they were all so young..pointless now to condemn people for 'not looking out for Brian'..I think they did remarkably well to not make idiots of themselves , boy Keith even took on the system , he did well not to come unstuck. For someone so highly intelligent Brian was a fool to let himself die/be killed.
Possibly the most accomplished thing about Brian Jones was his hair. It was the one feature that remained pristine as he in all other ways ravaged and destroyed his health his talent and his hard won position in one of the world's biggest bands.
Its plain and simple , no Brian Jones no rolling stones , do you think keefs proud of the way he treated Brian . Brian Jones RIP . If you have not seen the movie watch stoned its great .
I was always a giant Beatles fan, because all I knew of the Stones was Sticky Fingers. I could never understand why there was any competition, because the Beatles were clearly better. Then I heard Flowers... The Brian Jones Rolling Stones are amazing!
Imagine being told you are out of the band you started. I've read many a Stones book, and it's always awful to read the way the three of them played against each-other. The stories of his abusing women are pretty bad, and he lost Anita to Keith as a result. It's kinda like John Belushi- you don't know if you should feel sorry for him, or call him a fool!?
Brian got kicked out because he turned into a drug-addled, petty, argumentive and sadistic prick who liked to beat the shit out of women. He was also very insecure and jealous of the fact that Mick and Keith were writing songs together; and he was not a song-writer. Brilliant musician, yes. Songwriter; no. (remind anyone of Mick Taylor?) The last year or so he also became very snide and nasty toward Jagger because of his jealosy. They sacraficed the squeaky wheel to save the band.
Yes Mick & Keith wrote songs but say he was jealous is just speculation , you also say he was drug-addled, Ha Ha what the F**k as Keith been through the whole stones era ??? and a women beater ??was there a charge ?? or a complaint while he was alive ?? NOOOO,
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well said. The band was not as good without Brian in my opinion. Still as great as they are, there is no telling how good they would have been with Brian. Brian was out of control with his self destruction. He needed intravention for sure, to save his life. I heard the case was reopened. I have heard of no results.
Makes you wonder what other beautiful music we may have heard if Brian had lived. Brian made blues bounce. He was an inventor, not a formulaic composer. My god what a talent to lose.
@fgoicovich sorry,did i miss something,If this was a great song, where are the lyrics?. don,t get me wrong though always loved the complete stones from back in the day when i played in a band and we used to play their songs,if this was going to be Brians solo launching i don't think it would have got very far, pity the drugs and drink won in the end.
Brian Jones wasn't gay and I don't think there is any evidence to show he was even bi-curious...I'm pretty sure Jagger was bi but brian and keith and the rest are straight
I was thinking the same thing. Keith was probably playing the low (bass) notes and Brian the high (treble) notes. The Jimmy Reed thing they did where they interwove thier guitars. It does sound like two acoustics playing.
I remember when I first got this boot many years ago and thought it to be a great instrumental song that could have become a BIG song. Of course I'm a little prejudice after following the STones now for 45 years. haha
Well done! Very good choice of pictures & editing! When I was a kid Jones was considered the leader of The Stones, he looked the coolest, and Dylan, Lennon, Hendrix, they wanted to make friends with him rather than Jagger (who looked kinda gay) and Richards. He taught Jagger how to play harmonica & Keith about Robert Johnson and how to play the Blues. The first 60s Rock star to die as well. He was definitely there at the top for a while. Now he's Saint Brian, patron saint of R&R, it's official!
What does that mean, "kinda gay"? As if that is anything bad. In fact, it was Jones who was the "gay" one, bisexual in fact. I was a kid then also and I remember that Jagger was exciting and I didn't get he was "gay" at all. Everybody wanted to be Jagger.
"There are no dirty thoughts, except in dirty minds". The saying could be applied to you, or to your statement, at any rate. I did not mean 'gay' in any negative sense, you did. Jagger created & played different 'personas' over the years: the Romantic poet (a la' Shelley), the Cockney, the Dandy, etc... especially in the early 70s - with Glam Rock, Bowie, etc.. - he played with androginy, talking & moving in a very camp way, which was already part of his performances. Strange you didn't notice
Nice quote but I think I did over-react because one gets used to negative comments about gays on YouTube. My apologies. Jagger was always androgynous, but I think he copied that from Brian. Jagger's always been camp. Brian and Keith used to get on him about it. In Performance (and years after), Jagger used Brian's persona to play Turner. Jones and Jagger were probably the grandaddies of Glam Rock.
Brian was more a sybarite. He was sexually compulsive. There are stories that he "swung", but I am always skeptical about them. A book, Brian Jones The Last Decadent ,tries to make a case that Brian was gay, but it doesn't do a good job. Brian did leave a lot of progeny, like 5-6 kids (that we know of). Even so, Brian remains a fascinating character.
LOL! I`m sure Brian might have flirted with the dark side. I don`t believe it makes him a homosexual rather than a sex junkie. As a rock God, how do you lay off all that skin? Add some drugs and booze, you don`t know what you`re bumpin into. It`s a free for all. Yeah, another man may happen to be there. That`s how an orgy works. Lots of participants. It`s not gay.
This is way cool to hear! A keeper.

@JimiHendrixFeyenoord Not only that, Anita Pallenberg his then girlfriend talked him into going with her to Germany where she was making a film for Volker Schlondorff, Mord und Totschlag, a Degree of Murder.
He wrote composed and played several instruments on that. He was a genius@

Well its not that he ripped the shit out of instruments, he just knew what to use and when and how much. Listen to the harmonica solos in some of the early stones stuff. He wasnt AMAZING one any one instrument which is the price you pay for playing about 15 of them. I think thats what makes him a "master musician". I mean hes one of my idols who influenced me to pick up the 11 instruments i play but I am not saying it out of arrogance. Just admiration of Brianand his influence on me musically.

I myself was surprised at all he did. Examples of Jones's contributions are slide guitar on Be Your Man,King Bee, Rooster,Satisfied,Grown Wrong,Bother Me and Expectations. Sitar on Street Fighting + Paint It Black. Organ on Spend the Night, Complicated + 2000 Man. Marimba on Thumb,Out Of Time + Papers. Recorder on Tuesday + Sold Out. Trumpet on Moon,dulcimer on Waiting, harpsichord on Jane, accordion on Backstreet, sax/oboe on Dandelion, mellotron on Rainbow,Love You,Stray Cat and 2000.

interesting.....i had no idea.......that [is] quite a resume.....although, according to all of the memebers of the band he couldn't write a song to save his life -- [that] i'm inclinded to believe.
posthumanhero 2 years ago 2
This is true. Brian Jones was a blues purist and, by his own admission, couldn't write anything outside of a straight forward blues idiom. That is why I find it hard to believe he would write this song. this song was most likely a Jagger/Richards composition. Jones also had no intention ever of writing a solo LP, although there was an attempt at a collaboration involving Jones and Gene Pitney -- any results of which, by all reliable accounts, is best left in the vaults.
darrenfinizio 2 years ago
@darrenfinizio dude you dont know what you talking about, jones did some songwriting like jajouka and a degree of murder he also wrote my little one with jimi hendrix. all this wasnt blues. this proves at least in my eyes that he could write songs. he was only too shy to let people hear the most of his compositions

@darrenfinizio Yep, multi-instrumentalist.. Can't forget the blues harp (harmonica). Although there is a ton of great harp solos on the early stuff, two come to mind that really show his ability, "Look What You've Done" and "High & Dry".

@darrenfinizio Thanks for sharing this all in a clump.lol. Over the years I hear of Brian's contributions to many songs from various artists. He plays that very cool sax solo on the Beatles "You Know My Name", also does percussion on Jimi Hendrix's(written by B.Dylan) "All Along the Watchtower". note: There's some big names colaberating on that session(Dave Mason played accoustic guitar on that song)

Possibly the most accomplished thing about Brian Jones was his hair. It was the one feature that remained pristine as he in all other ways ravaged and destroyed his health his talent and his hard won position in one of the world's biggest bands.

Imagine being told you are out of the band you started. I've read many a Stones book, and it's always awful to read the way the three of them played against each-other. The stories of his abusing women are pretty bad, and he lost Anita to Keith as a result. It's kinda like John Belushi- you don't know if you should feel sorry for him, or call him a fool!?

Brian got kicked out because he turned into a drug-addled, petty, argumentive and sadistic prick who liked to beat the shit out of women. He was also very insecure and jealous of the fact that Mick and Keith were writing songs together; and he was not a song-writer. Brilliant musician, yes. Songwriter; no. (remind anyone of Mick Taylor?) The last year or so he also became very snide and nasty toward Jagger because of his jealosy. They sacraficed the squeaky wheel to save the band.

Well said. The band was not as good without Brian in my opinion. Still as great as they are, there is no telling how good they would have been with Brian. Brian was out of control with his self destruction. He needed intravention for sure, to save his life. I heard the case was reopened. I have heard of no results.

Well done! Very good choice of pictures & editing! When I was a kid Jones was considered the leader of The Stones, he looked the coolest, and Dylan, Lennon, Hendrix, they wanted to make friends with him rather than Jagger (who looked kinda gay) and Richards. He taught Jagger how to play harmonica & Keith about Robert Johnson and how to play the Blues. The first 60s Rock star to die as well. He was definitely there at the top for a while. Now he's Saint Brian, patron saint of R&R, it's official!
kidcalabria 3 years ago
What does that mean, "kinda gay"? As if that is anything bad. In fact, it was Jones who was the "gay" one, bisexual in fact. I was a kid then also and I remember that Jagger was exciting and I didn't get he was "gay" at all. Everybody wanted to be Jagger.
jamal49 3 years ago
"There are no dirty thoughts, except in dirty minds". The saying could be applied to you, or to your statement, at any rate. I did not mean 'gay' in any negative sense, you did. Jagger created & played different 'personas' over the years: the Romantic poet (a la' Shelley), the Cockney, the Dandy, etc... especially in the early 70s - with Glam Rock, Bowie, etc.. - he played with androginy, talking & moving in a very camp way, which was already part of his performances. Strange you didn't notice
kidcalabria 3 years ago
Nice quote but I think I did over-react because one gets used to negative comments about gays on YouTube. My apologies. Jagger was always androgynous, but I think he copied that from Brian. Jagger's always been camp. Brian and Keith used to get on him about it. In Performance (and years after), Jagger used Brian's persona to play Turner. Jones and Jagger were probably the grandaddies of Glam Rock.

Brian Jones was straight. He had half the women he knew, I think and left several children behind him, all by different women.
jmacleve 2 years ago 3
Brian was more a sybarite. He was sexually compulsive. There are stories that he "swung", but I am always skeptical about them. A book, Brian Jones The Last Decadent ,tries to make a case that Brian was gay, but it doesn't do a good job. Brian did leave a lot of progeny, like 5-6 kids (that we know of). Even so, Brian remains a fascinating character.
jamal49 2 years ago 4
LOL! I`m sure Brian might have flirted with the dark side. I don`t believe it makes him a homosexual rather than a sex junkie. As a rock God, how do you lay off all that skin? Add some drugs and booze, you don`t know what you`re bumpin into. It`s a free for all. Yeah, another man may happen to be there. That`s how an orgy works. Lots of participants. It`s not gay.
