you can see Brian is alwys reacting to the subplot of mickand keith....you throw fame,media, women into the equasion and is a deadly downer....Brian saw it coming his are caught watching,giving it ,his mind away...Keith fucking dreams of what brain could do.
I love the Stones but it is best to separate the music from the personalities.
The more you know about your favorite people the less impressed you are going to be and sometimes you will find that some of them are or were assholes.
John Lennon once said "Never strive to meet your idols, you will always be disappointed"
He knew it happened to others when they met him just like it happened to him when he met Elvis.
Brian Jones was instrumental in the beginning sounds of the Stones and was also a very important part of the hippie dress epic. And he was good at beating bitches.
It is true that many talented people do self-destruct. Look at Elvis fighting food addiction and drugs, too. If only Anita hadn't come in the picture, Brian wouldn't have been battling the jealousy with Keith about her and perhaps he would still be here. A great musician with too many demons.
Brian made the Stones the most inspired band of the era,he gave to the Stones something that even the Beatles has not...all the stones best song were written when he was here...then the stones learnt and were the best rock band for decades..but it was possible only thanks to Brian.
I think Sir Brian Jones didn't respect he deserved for being such a huge part of there sound and songs. I agree with both KITTENLYRIC and FOOBLESTHECLOWN. In retrospect, there are at least serveral songs that come to mind that Sir Brian Jones should have received "Songwriting Credits" that both Keith & Mick so closely guarded over the years. This according to Bill Wyman's STONE ALONE book. Sir Brian Jones had that "KNACK " for putting the missing elements to complete a song proper
by all accounts Brian was a very complex individual...very talented; played guitars, slide guitar, harmonica better than Mick, piano, mellotron, organ, dulcimer, flutes, autoharp, etc etc and contributed A LOT to the sound of the early Stones recordings...but he could be a real asshole as a person; drink & drugs didn't help...but he should be remembered, along with the late Ian Stewart, as the founding members of The Rolling Stones...Mick wouldn't join unless he could bring along his buddy Keith
MY RESPONSE TO THE AMERICAN ORIGINAL..YES, IT SEEMED COLD..BUT MUSICIANS MAKE MUSIC IN TIMES OF TROUBLE..YOU THINK THEY WHER'NT HEART BROKEN? YOU SEE KEITH HOLD BACK BIG TEARS TALKING ABOUT BRIAN IN MANY A VIDEO..THE BEST THING TO DO IS KEEP ON..THATS THE ATTITUDE OF MICK AND KEITH OR THERE WOULD BE NO STONES..I SAY THIS NICLEY..
He probably did have more children which he didn't know about than the five he had. He never knew about the girl he fathered who was born in August 1960 in Guildford after a one-night stand. Bill Wyman mentioned her in his book Stone Alone. Never knew at all. Then again, Bill Wyman slept with twice more women than Brian Jones did between 1963 and 1966, and he probably has children about that he doesn't know of, or has kept quiet.
I think he could be an asshole, and was a terrible dad, but that said, John Lennon, Keith Moon, Hendrix and Marriot weren't saints or angels either, and I bet Mick and Keef had their moments of assholery as well, but for some reason just Brian is scapgoated.
both could be assholes, both could be charming, and yet there is evidence of kindness from both, both had an H in their middle name (Howard and Hopkin) and finally both are dead..
both had a statue of them in their birth place, both fell out with the people where they made their name at (Rolling Stones and Derby County), both had falling out's with their siblings (Clough with his younger brother, Jones with his family), both were accused of dishonesty (Fiddling expenses), both were articulate, it was said about both that you never knew which was going to walk through the door, nice Brian or nasty Brian, both could be bastards
Although it would not appear so on the surface, the late Rolling Stone guitarist Brian Jones and the late soccer manager Brian Clough had much in common.. Both had a sister who died very young, both were intelligent, both were very gifted (Jones could play any instrument well and Clough scored 251 goals in 274 games at soccer), both wasted their potential educationally, both were described as Jekyll and Hyde personalities, both had drink problems, both had a film made about them,
Keith killed Brian because he really wanted to fuck Anita. But most of all he wanted to stop him from running off to join Creedence Clearwater Revival
If it's about the music, Brian was a genius 'til his downward spiral. If you're talking about personal life, he was mean, mean, mean. (And irresponsible having a bunch of kids with different women and ignoring them all)
I never believe anyone who writes bad about someone who is dead and can't defend himself. There are two sides to every story and Keith is obviously telling his with his agenda. Too bad Brian's not around to tell his side. I have seen on too many interviews Keith out right lying about Brian and his role "Oh Mick and I started the band bla bla" bull $#%@ Brian started it, did all the work in the beginning getting club dates. DESERVED the extra he got for doing that. Keith's book is self serving,
I'd say there are plenty of dead bad people throughout history who are open to be reported on as being bad people and enough evidence to support them being bad people. Too bad if they're not around to defend themselves.@kittenlyric
Do you really think that Keith was gonna write "Yeah, Brian was a great guy, worked his #$@ off for the band we stole, then I took off with the woman he was in love with, made him watch as I brought her to the studio day after day and made out with her in front of him (per John Lennon). I watched as he self-medicated with drink and drugs. Turned off his equipment and laughed and made fun of him that he thought we were recording him (again per John Lennon)" Keith was a right $#%$% to Brian.
if you're talking about Keith taking off with Anita, keep in mind that, according to Keith, Brian was physically abusive to Anita, as he was to other women (its in Bill Wyman's book too, about Brian being a woman beater). I'd say its a good thing Keith got her away from Brian@kittenlyric
@kittenlyricBETWEEN ANITA AND KEITH IT WAS MUTUAL..HE ADMITTED TAKING ON ANITA..THATS LIFE..IT HAPPENS TO ALOT OF US..HE FELL IN LOVE AND WAS YOUNG..THIS HAPPENS..BRIAN WAS USUALLY NOT SO PLEASANT IF HE DIDNT GET HIS WAY..SO KEITH DUG INTO HIM ..HE DESERVED IT SORRY TO SAY.YOU MAKE IT SOUND LIKE THEY PUSHED HIM TO DIE..THEY WHRE GOOD FREINDS AGAIN BEFORE HIS DEATH..READ BOOKS...LOL
@Philtration Not much, except that John would bring Yoko into the studio. I guess Kieth brought Brian's ex-girlfriend with him into the studio. Yoko annoyed George and Paul, seeing his ex-girlfriend making out with Keith would have annoyed Brian. But yea it's a bit of a stretch.
@kittenlyric o_o Okay. First. They did not steal the band. In no way did Mick and Keith conspire to gain control of the band. -_- I don't know why people attack them for that, it's stupid. Second. He didn't just pop in and take off with Anita. It was an incredibly slow process. Anita and Brian were beating each other up, to the point where at least one of them would end up with black eyes and broken bones. It was not a healthy relationship at all. If anything, it was Anita that came to Keith.
@kittenlyric Keith tried his best with Brian, and it just didn't work out. I don't see why that gives anyone the right to bash either of them though. :/
veamos las cosas buenas de brian jones fue un tipo genial musical menet y eso es loq ue reaal mente importya sin el ls stones no hubieran existido y que aburrido hubiera sido el mundo sin stones gracias brian por toda la musica que nos regalaste por todotu talento gran virtuoso ingles .
PEOPLE!!! U ARE READING KEITH'S BOOK. i too have read it and i am a ketih fan BUTTTT its keith view!! he was just as bad as brian.. its easy to blame everything on brian now hes dead coz he cant answer back.. have some respect ... keith is a bitter old man who KNOWS he has a part to play in brians death (kicking him out, treating like shit) he wasnt all bad and you guys need to show him more respect!! hes dead for god sake and helped produce some of the best music EVER. rip brian xxx
PEOPLE!!! U ARE READING KEITH'S BOOK. i too have read it and i am a ketih fan BUTTTT its keith view!! he was just as bad as brian.. its easy to blame everything on brian now hes dead coz he cant answer back.. have some respect ... keith is a bitter old man who KNOWS he has a part to play in brians death (kicking him out, treating like shit) he wasnt all bad and you guys need to show him more respect!! hes dead for god sake and helped produce some of the best music EVER. rip brian xxx
you should read the Keith book if you're a fan, as you might change your view of Brian at least as a human being,,,from what I gather, Keith has the right to be bitter as Brian was a complete dick who got rich because Keith and Mick had the talent to write hit songs...Brian was along for the ride and was basically a terrible bandmate...if Brian died in 1980 after years of being a has-been, he wouldnt have the legend that he has, but died young, at 27 just after he was fired@FlapJack2206
@peacemonger1967 i have read Keith's book! i'd like to state that i am a fan of keith as well but his book was written in his view! keith likes to portray himself as everything brian was but better... in the 70's keith spoke with much more respect about brian and now it seems fashionable for him to act like brian was nothing to the stones... jagger remains gentlemen in terms of respect to brian despite not so much in the 60s 70s with charlie and bill both remaning loyal honest gentlemen.
I'm glad you read Keith's book and hope you enjoyed it. I wouldn't agree that Keith likes to portray himself as "everything Brian was but better", because Brian was, in Keith's view, a cruel bastard with delusions of grandeur who was intoxicated by fame, a type of person that I believe Keith wasn't either then or now. I'm not denying Keith's giant ego and narcissism, that's another thing entirely...but Brian was simply not a gentleman, he was a cunt from what I gather. Peace.@FlapJack2206
Keith talks out of guilt, bitterness and his usual agenda by making Brian's role in the band and as a person as small as possible. It started with name calling and ends with personal assassination. Keith can't let go of things 40 years ago.
Brian wasn't a bigger cunt than Mick and Keith back then but in Life Keith tells the story. He knows that Brian was certainly not the only one who sometimes acted like a complete jerk on drugs. They have been forgiven though - not Brian.
@peacemonger1967 agree mate, everything i've ever read about brian is just not nice, no matter who the author, keith has been more/most complementary to him by account of leaving the details out in his book?! for fucks sake, the guy was a women basher, that's enough to make him a cunt in anyones eyes except a woman basher or a rapist?????!!! must say he was good musically early though. he just couldn't evolve with the band because of his fractured ego?!
@FlapJack2206 Bill has tried in Stone Alone to describe Brian in a more balanced way. He is the only one inside the Stones to do that (except Mick but Mick knows that he wasn't a nice guy himself back then so he is careful). In the same book Bill also give some insight what it meant to work with Mick and Keith and I can understand why he couldn't take it anymore. Brian was an easy target because he already hurt himself and they gave him hell for it. Brian wasn't innocent but he wasn't a monster.
@FlapJack2206 Couln't agree more mate. He would've gone on to form an amazing blues band with, well, whoever you wanna name back then! If Brian was around in the present day I think he'd be a record producer, the sounds he could generate were amazing.
Drugs will kill you it is true, and that is what Brian's death proved - excess will destroy you, no matter who you are. Death is the great leveller. However what we create lives on after us. All the stringy vultures who have lived on have taken the credit for others work - and that's the truth. But the more they go on, the more they show what we've lost.
Anna Wohlin was with him when he died. She says it was No Accident!! My friend wrote 2 books & hated the portrayal of both her and Brian in the film, but the rights had been sold & they FFFd it up.
My guess, is that if Brian Jones had lived longer, his post-Stones career would have been similar to Mick Taylor: He would have tried his luck with singing and songwriting without commercial success. He then would have played on other people's recordings as a sessionman(something that he was already doing when he was with The Stones)......and he would have ended up playing blues music in small clubs. The Chorus of "Walking The Dog"(1st Stones album) shows that Jones had a lousy singing voice.
I think thats pretty good speculation, that is, it seems a likely or possible scenario, IF Brian had lived....even with his enlarged heart and body destroyed from abuse @56dinosaur
Brian couldn't write a song to save his life, was an egomaniac with delusions of grandeur, dug hanging out with famous people because they were famous, was totally unreliable in the Stones as a band mate, couldn't handle drugs, gave up the guitar at one point so Keith had to play everything, beat up women ....basically he was a cold blooded motherfucker who played good slide, harp and contributed exotic instruments to Stones records, but otherwise a complete bastard from what I gather...discuss
@peacemonger1967 Refreshing to hear someone tell it like it is, or was, but maybe theres another side , heavy use of drugs usually leads to making bad decidtions, his dad says he was a model pupil from a rich background, is it he couldnt value anything or anyone? had he lived maybe wouldve turned it all around,one things for sure he wont be the last to pisson his chips.
basically what I got from reading Keith's book...Brian could apparently be quite a funny guy and was intelligent, but the fame really got to his head...and they made fun of him as a result, right to his face in a cruel way....the thing that struck me was even before the Stones made it big, Brian had worked out a deal which stipulated that he got more money per week than the other Stones because he was the "leader" at that point... a backstabbing prick from what I gather@zimmy81
@peacemonger1967 Brian got more because he was the one out making phone calls, riding to the clubs to convince owners to let them play, and generally doing all he could to get their name out there. Mick was still in school and Keith was sitting on his @#$ at Edith Grove.
just from reading Keith's book...Brian was getting more money than the other Stones per week after Andrew Oldham had hooked up as their manager...he apparently convinced Andrew to pay him more because he was the "leader"..therefore an underhanded little bastard in Keith's eyes....and also, you're correct as far as I know----Keith was sitting on his ass----learning/studying how to authentically play the blues, along with Brian and Mick @kittenlyric
@peacemonger1967 I`m reading the same book. Brian was also an sadistic son of a bitch who abused women and some of his friends.. He was just an awful human being!
there ya go, that basically sums it up in a nutshell folks...an awful human being...not like he was up there with a war criminal but a bastard all the same, those are my words:o) @Yellyist
@peacemonger1967 I`m reading Keith Richards book, and Brian was a horrible human being. He was cruel to people around him, and hit women he was dating, and abused his friends.
that was basically the same impression I got from Keith's book...I would also add that he was a narcissist who was intoxicated by fame and an egomaniac with delusions of grandeur @Yellyist
@peacemonger1967 It`s strange cause he wasn`t that famous compared to people like Paul McCartney or John Lennon. They were always very down to earth, polite to their fans etc.. Brian Jones, who was basically a nobody compared to them took off and thought he was a king or something...
@peacemonger1967 yeah Brian couldn't write anything except all of the songs he was doing before he died and the whole score for Anita's film. Just that. Believe the bull#$%@ the Stones put out. Try listening to ANY of their earlier songs and imagine without the slide guitar, sitar, dulcimer, mellotron, ect.
@peacemonger1967 be honest you are just a Keith Richard fan. Yeah Keith's gonna say he's rotten. He has an agenda. What's yours? I have read plenty of books/stories about Brian that paints him in a much different light. No one's saying that Brian was perfect but why after 40+ years does Keith still feel the need to slam him? Only cowards talk behind someone's back or slam someone who can't defend himself. Keith's a coward. A faux Brian Jones wanna be.Some of us still remember the real Brian.
@peacemonger1967 Certainly that's what Keith Richards says. Bill Wyman has stated(in his book) that Brian submitted one song, but Jagger and/or Richards rejected it.
I wonder if Brian was murdered. Who knows? He could have had too many drugs and drink and drowned. We'll never know for sure. There has been too much time that has passed.
@Flipper79able It's now common public knowledge that Brian was murdered. Where have you been. The guy who did it, confessed on his death bed. Tom Keylock had said for years that this was the case...Case closed.
@cottageorgan Wrong. It was never proven. You think just because someone confessed to it on their death bed that makes it proof? The case is not closed so stop thinking your so damn clever.
@Flipper79able it would be a weird thing to confess to if you didn't do it. Who knows, who really cares, I was just making conversation. Brian Jones was a great musician who died before his time through a combination bad luck bad timing and carelessness. A loss to the music world at the time. His memory lives through his music.
@Flipper79able we do know...look at the autopsy report. The man had 1 drink and therapeutic dose of meds in his system. Everyone even Keith agrees he was a strong swimmer. I wanna know why they burned all of the music he was working on. Might have disproved what the Stones were saying about him not able to write or play. You can bet if it proved he was no good, it would have been released just like every negative story since then.
mick taylor was better...best stones period...late 60s brian era (beggars...let it bleed) - end of taylor era.....but keith and the whole extra band (nicky..bobby...etc) where AWESOME...and taylor's beast...so brian's albums where kinda good but dull
@Fooblestheclown Oh yeah, he lost control, didn't he?, and got a big shove down and outwards, fair is fair, but, why didn't they do the very same when Keith lost it too?, fuck the selfish, greedy "friends" that tossed him out, that is some help, isn't it?, indeed very selective who and who isn't to be saved when lightning struck. their greed is proverbial, zero charity, millions and more millions, their favourite word: "ME".
@rmgj If he had a little more control over the drugs....he would have come out on top. Read up and down with the Rolling Stones with Tony Sanchaz. The book reveals how out of control Jones was.
@Fooblestheclown Will do, but, I know that part of of that is the fact that Keith fed him some potion meant to idiotize him, Keith wanted him o-u-t, got his girl, got his band, that is certain, neither Keith or Mick attended the funeral, Brian was sick, and got the s***y end of the stick, kicked and then drowned/murdered, a miserable end for a true genius.
@Fooblestheclown Depends on how much ya take, people go all thier lives being users not neccessaryly killing themselves, you would shocked if you knew the facts.
@Fooblestheclown BRIAN WAS INSECURE AND ANGRY AND GOT TANGLED UP IN THE WRONG SCENE..HE WAS OFTEN FALLING DOWN AT SESSIONS AND PASSING OUT..THEY COULD NOT TOUR AMERICA AND THEY HAD TO MAKE A LIVING..LETS BE TRUTHFUL..THEY WHERE NOT FILTHY RICH BACK THEN.WOULDNT YOU LIKE TO AINTAIN WHAT YOU WORKED HARD FOR??? MANGEMENT WANTED THEN TO WRITE..BRIAQN HAD HIS CHACE AND BLEW IT....SIMPLE..ITS A BUSINESS..I SAY THIS NICELY..(:
Hearing that mick and keith unplugged brian's microphone at recording sessions upsets me - but the fact that someone was allowed to burn his demo's is just deplorable. What a horrible, horrible thing to do - I dont even think you need to be an artist to understand just how low-down that is. Dare I say - without Jones endless experimentation - the Stones would not have that extra color/dimension to their music that resulted in it still being hugely relevant to this day.
i have a nice video , a unreleased track by brian jones and the stones, it's called brian's blues ( stewe and keefed ) chek it out on my profile, and leave a message
Let It Bleed. Ry Cooder; Mick Taylor. Sir Brian Jones ' tracks were removed. Wrote the hook for Country Honk and the melody for Honky Tonk Woman. Didn't get credit for ALOT of things he did in the Stones. Sad but true.
Is it really necessary for Keith to be so hard faced about Brian, Im amazed he remembers any of it. Yes Keith Richards and Mick Jagger are a great combination but they would not have got anywhere without Brian. He was just different to them, 2 is company, 3 is a crowd. At the age of 27 we all have a lot to learn, Brian didnt get a chance. R.I.P Brian.
It wasn't completely Brians fault, Mick and Keith were ego-tistical dicks. And once they started writing they probably thought that they were better than brian.
@MickeyLove01 But he still managed to compose a soundtrack and is said to have recorded his own music at home... Amazing for a guy who wasn't a writer. :) If you've said song writer with commercial value I would have agreed with you. Brian was a musician. He didn't start the Stones to be on the track lists.
@atticthoughts Yes, you are right. I must learn how simplify things for those out there who fail to see the correlation within the subject and the statement itself. Jeez.
@PageandPlant4Life Well said. I've appreciated all years of the Stones, well, up to about 1975 but, especially early Stones. Keith owes many debts to Brian for he learned a lot. They (Keith/Mick) probably did get uppity after writing some good songs. But if Brian is so out of it that he can't play (if we're to believe history), than that is no good either. Many talented people self destruct.
That's a still pic from their video of "Jumpin' Jack flash" - you can see parts of it on "25 x 5 - The video of the Rolling Stones" widley available, it's an Amazing video!
I love watching the early footage of the stones, Brian looked so happy in the early days, If only he hadnt ingested all those drugs, he did it all first, others only lamely copied. RIP Brian.
@25svbn ANYBODY HEARD NERVOUS BREAKDOWN LYRICS A REAL THREAT TO BRIAN ...YOUR FATHER IS STILL PERFECTING WAYS OF MAKING SEALING WAX..... WHO'S TO BLAME THE GIRL'S IS JUST INSANE. A CLEAR THREAT LIKE OTHERS M&K JUST TALKS ABOUT DEATH &DROWN IN THE LYRICS. THEY ARE SUSPECTED TO BE INVOLVED .
Brian Jones' last work was on Beggar's Banquet and even then he only played on a few songs. He wasn't even on the Let It Bleed album at all. Taylor only played rythym on Live With Me. The rest was all Keith.
Its a shame when you think about what great songs the Stones could have made with Brian had he only been able to keep hinself together.
Everything I;ve ever read or actually heard from interviews with members of the Stones says you are wrong. Was not on Let It Bleed at all. All the guitar work with the exception of the rytyhm (done by Taylor) on Live With Me was done by Richards. Its easy to distinguish the playing between Richards and Jones. Another fact is Jones was hardly even on Beggars Banquet. They used to turn his mic of during the recording sessions just to fuck with him. Sad but true.
Actually his guitar is on No expectations, Dear Doctor, Parachute Woman and Jigsaw Puzzle. Harmonica throughout, except for Parachute Woman. His mic was turned off during SFTD, which on the original edit of the film was shown, and fan out rage during the first showings was so intense, the scene was cut out from further distribution of the film.
Brian's on Tribal Drums on Midnight Rambler. A strong argument can be for Rhythm Guitar on Gimme Shelter and Monkey Man. Brian's contributions were wiped off Country Honk and Honky tonk Woman. His father had even said this in the media. a tape of their orginal demo was burned amongst Brian's other tapes in the backyard of his mansion two days after his death. Tapes of him and John Mayall jamming, plus a supergroup of Hendrix, Jones, Lennon and Mitchell rehearsing. Sorry, bloke. Facts.
@heyjjules THREAT AND THREATS TO BRIAN HEAR NERVOUS BREAKDOWN ...YOUR FATHER IS STILL PERFECTING WAYS OF MAKING SEALING WAX...
..WHO'S TO BLAME THE GIRL IS JUST INSANE. REALLY THRILLLING THE CRIMINAL MIND OF MICK AND KEITH SONG LYRICS. THEY ARE SUSPECTED TO BE INVOLVED IN BRIAN'S DEATH
@tenorismo Ronnie did nothing to save the stones and argueably they're best work was with Mick Taylor. Brian didn't write most of their songs he was just a great instrumentalist and hook maker.
I agree, with you, the Taylor era was when they produced they're best albums alnog with Jimmy Miller that is Jones, i respect him as a musician more than words can describe as i do the same with Keith, Mick Taylor and Ronnie Wood, Bill wyamn and Charlie Watts too, Ronnie did not to anything to save the stones except along with Keith produce a new guitar sound weaving etc. Taylor era was without doubt the best but hell at the end of it they're always great!
@opeygibs No this is not true. If you search for "earcandymag', 'Brian Jones' and 'Degree of Murder" you'll see that he also wrote song. Even more than the music for the movie 'Degree of Murder'.
Any serious music critic would tell you the Stones put out #### after 1969. Its all pop. Nothing new. Brian, on the other hand, was always innovative. Terrible loss. So glad there will be a new look at what had to be a murder.
For those who will take the trouble to check the outtakes from the inside cover
shots of Beggars Banquet ,the photographer wanted to make it clear that Jones was "hounded"by the police.
The dog and a wolf were literary snapping at his feet, a gorilla with a devil's mask and a cat behind his back was playing with a gun pointing at his back.
Really, i did not realise they did a movie about him.. I think brian Jones looks so Kool in the photo at 1:35 his style is so ahead of its time he's wearing some big funky superfly glasses.. RIP Brian.. I luv the Stones especially the period between 63-69 and Brian Jones is a part of all that..
brian was a incredible musician and person. but that film is shit. it's just about when he got really heavy into drugs and drink, there like 2 song in the whole film (nos stones songs though)
wonderful!thank you!Here's what I have to say about that piece of Stones sanctioned crap;rent the DVD and watch the extras!All the best most relevent parts wound up on the cutting room floor! Nice eyeball hat shot in this montauge Dave Feel free to friend me Skin high fi! Anni
@MorrisonPageBarrett No it's not a great movie! It seemed to me to try to make his murderer a sympathetic character. Oh Brian was a #@$% so it was ok to lose it and murder him.
you can see Brian is alwys reacting to the subplot of mickand keith....you throw fame,media, women into the equasion and is a deadly downer....Brian saw it coming his are caught watching,giving it ,his mind away...Keith fucking dreams of what brain could do.

by all accounts Brian was a very complex individual...very talented; played guitars, slide guitar, harmonica better than Mick, piano, mellotron, organ, dulcimer, flutes, autoharp, etc etc and contributed A LOT to the sound of the early Stones recordings...but he could be a real asshole as a person; drink & drugs didn't help...but he should be remembered, along with the late Ian Stewart, as the founding members of The Rolling Stones...Mick wouldn't join unless he could bring along his buddy Keith

He probably did have more children which he didn't know about than the five he had. He never knew about the girl he fathered who was born in August 1960 in Guildford after a one-night stand. Bill Wyman mentioned her in his book Stone Alone. Never knew at all. Then again, Bill Wyman slept with twice more women than Brian Jones did between 1963 and 1966, and he probably has children about that he doesn't know of, or has kept quiet.

I think he could be an asshole, and was a terrible dad, but that said, John Lennon, Keith Moon, Hendrix and Marriot weren't saints or angels either, and I bet Mick and Keef had their moments of assholery as well, but for some reason just Brian is scapgoated.

Both had a sister who died very young, both were intelligent, both were very gifted (Jones could play any instrument well and Clough scored 251 goals in 274 games at soccer), both wasted their potential educationally, both were described as Jekyll and Hyde personalities, both had drink problems, both had a film made about them,

If it's about the music, Brian was a genius 'til his downward spiral. If you're talking about personal life, he was mean, mean, mean. (And irresponsible having a bunch of kids with different women and ignoring them all)

I never believe anyone who writes bad about someone who is dead and can't defend himself. There are two sides to every story and Keith is obviously telling his with his agenda. Too bad Brian's not around to tell his side. I have seen on too many interviews Keith out right lying about Brian and his role "Oh Mick and I started the band bla bla" bull $#%@ Brian started it, did all the work in the beginning getting club dates. DESERVED the extra he got for doing that. Keith's book is self serving,

Do you really think that Keith was gonna write "Yeah, Brian was a great guy, worked his #$@ off for the band we stole, then I took off with the woman he was in love with, made him watch as I brought her to the studio day after day and made out with her in front of him (per John Lennon). I watched as he self-medicated with drink and drugs. Turned off his equipment and laughed and made fun of him that he thought we were recording him (again per John Lennon)" Keith was a right $#%$% to Brian.

if you're talking about Keith taking off with Anita, keep in mind that, according to Keith, Brian was physically abusive to Anita, as he was to other women (its in Bill Wyman's book too, about Brian being a woman beater). I'd say its a good thing Keith got her away from Brian@kittenlyric

@kittenlyric o_o Okay. First. They did not steal the band. In no way did Mick and Keith conspire to gain control of the band. -_- I don't know why people attack them for that, it's stupid. Second. He didn't just pop in and take off with Anita. It was an incredibly slow process. Anita and Brian were beating each other up, to the point where at least one of them would end up with black eyes and broken bones. It was not a healthy relationship at all. If anything, it was Anita that came to Keith.

you should read the Keith book if you're a fan, as you might change your view of Brian at least as a human being,,,from what I gather, Keith has the right to be bitter as Brian was a complete dick who got rich because Keith and Mick had the talent to write hit songs...Brian was along for the ride and was basically a terrible bandmate...if Brian died in 1980 after years of being a has-been, he wouldnt have the legend that he has, but died young, at 27 just after he was fired@FlapJack2206

@peacemonger1967 i have read Keith's book! i'd like to state that i am a fan of keith as well but his book was written in his view! keith likes to portray himself as everything brian was but better... in the 70's keith spoke with much more respect about brian and now it seems fashionable for him to act like brian was nothing to the stones... jagger remains gentlemen in terms of respect to brian despite not so much in the 60s 70s with charlie and bill both remaning loyal honest gentlemen.
FlapJack2206 1 year ago
I'm glad you read Keith's book and hope you enjoyed it. I wouldn't agree that Keith likes to portray himself as "everything Brian was but better", because Brian was, in Keith's view, a cruel bastard with delusions of grandeur who was intoxicated by fame, a type of person that I believe Keith wasn't either then or now. I'm not denying Keith's giant ego and narcissism, that's another thing entirely...but Brian was simply not a gentleman, he was a cunt from what I gather. Peace.@FlapJack2206
peacemonger1967 1 year ago
@peacemonger1967
Keith talks out of guilt, bitterness and his usual agenda by making Brian's role in the band and as a person as small as possible. It started with name calling and ends with personal assassination. Keith can't let go of things 40 years ago.
Brian wasn't a bigger cunt than Mick and Keith back then but in Life Keith tells the story. He knows that Brian was certainly not the only one who sometimes acted like a complete jerk on drugs. They have been forgiven though - not Brian.

@FlapJack2206 Bill has tried in Stone Alone to describe Brian in a more balanced way. He is the only one inside the Stones to do that (except Mick but Mick knows that he wasn't a nice guy himself back then so he is careful). In the same book Bill also give some insight what it meant to work with Mick and Keith and I can understand why he couldn't take it anymore. Brian was an easy target because he already hurt himself and they gave him hell for it. Brian wasn't innocent but he wasn't a monster.

@FlapJack2206 Couln't agree more mate. He would've gone on to form an amazing blues band with, well, whoever you wanna name back then! If Brian was around in the present day I think he'd be a record producer, the sounds he could generate were amazing.

Drugs will kill you it is true, and that is what Brian's death proved - excess will destroy you, no matter who you are. Death is the great leveller. However what we create lives on after us. All the stringy vultures who have lived on have taken the credit for others work - and that's the truth. But the more they go on, the more they show what we've lost.

My guess, is that if Brian Jones had lived longer, his post-Stones career would have been similar to Mick Taylor: He would have tried his luck with singing and songwriting without commercial success. He then would have played on other people's recordings as a sessionman(something that he was already doing when he was with The Stones)......and he would have ended up playing blues music in small clubs. The Chorus of "Walking The Dog"(1st Stones album) shows that Jones had a lousy singing voice.

Everything I;ve ever read or actually heard from interviews with members of the Stones says you are wrong. Was not on Let It Bleed at all. All the guitar work with the exception of the rytyhm (done by Taylor) on Live With Me was done by Richards. Its easy to distinguish the playing between Richards and Jones. Another fact is Jones was hardly even on Beggars Banquet. They used to turn his mic of during the recording sessions just to fuck with him. Sad but true.

Actually his guitar is on No expectations, Dear Doctor, Parachute Woman and Jigsaw Puzzle. Harmonica throughout, except for Parachute Woman. His mic was turned off during SFTD, which on the original edit of the film was shown, and fan out rage during the first showings was so intense, the scene was cut out from further distribution of the film.

He was a screwed up dude, extremely talented, and the Stones went downhill without him. In fact, the Stones suck without him.

Bullshit. Post-Jones albums like Midnight Rambler, Sticky Fingers, Exile, and Some Girls are masterpieces.

For those who will take the trouble to check the outtakes from the inside cover
shots of Beggars Banquet ,the photographer wanted to make it clear that Jones was "hounded"by the police.
The dog and a wolf were literary snapping at his feet, a gorilla with a devil's mask and a cat behind his back was playing with a gun pointing at his back.

i've seen the film stoned about brian but this is only about his last period when he became violent, etc... i didn't really like it!

Really, i did not realise they did a movie about him.. I think brian Jones looks so Kool in the photo at 1:35 his style is so ahead of its time he's wearing some big funky superfly glasses.. RIP Brian.. I luv the Stones especially the period between 63-69 and Brian Jones is a part of all that..

@MorrisonPageBarrett No it's not a great movie! It seemed to me to try to make his murderer a sympathetic character. Oh Brian was a #@$% so it was ok to lose it and murder him.
