I thought it is a really, really good record..I sounds like it could be straight from 67 thru 73 period of the Stones..the songs are the way we always wanted to hear them..Rocking Rolling Stones....don't miss it..
Yes, and the stress of managing "the animals" as he called them on or around payday, was too much. After all, practicing those instruments all day would take a toll on anyone. So he turned it over to Oldham and that's when he lost control.He wrote almost all their best songs though, that much is fairly obvious.@@joevanlear7566
They bring my wild side out. It feel good im 69 always looking for ways to feel young. New album does that RIGHT ON Stones Thankyou Greatest Rock Band Ever
I've made that exact premise many many times. As a young man in the 60's it was sort of frightening with the advent of long haired hippies tuning in dropping out. Psychedelics, Burning bras and draft cards. A changing of the guard of the tired old social mores, question authority. Yet there was the greatest music of any generation before or after, headlined by the Rolling Stones. They were there in the late 50's early 60's and they're still at it. As relevant now as then. 60 years later i'm sure they could sell out the largest soccer stadium in the world. Of my top 50 songs of all time, the Rolling Stones make up about 12 of those songs, they cannot and will not be denied. Rock on Guys.
A friend of mine sent me a link to like the Billboard album chart from a week in 1974. My God, every album is not only great but the music has lasted into today. If you were to take a snapshot of the Billboard album chart from 2023, my guess is that 50 years from now no one will remember any of the music.
Those days were slower and you appreciated things more because no computers/cell phones. If you wanted to take a picture of something you had to have a f****** camera😂
Big props to the Rolling Stones for being purveyors of the blues and Black American music! These cats developed into outstanding stylists, songwriters, musicians, and performers over the decades, but, they ALWAYS remained true and dedicated to the blues! Their tribute album Blue and Lonesome is awesome and low-down and funky! And their latest album Hackney Diamonds is outstanding and one of their best!
I was in love with Keith when I was 15 he was the best thing I'd ever seen or heard and I had a poster of him on my wall still love the band .R.I.P Charlie.
Anita Pallenburg was a sex bomb as was Marianne Faithful especially after the acid and mars bar bust in the late 60s. Anita was seen as a naughty sex bomb on drugs living party girl sophisticated jet set luxury lifestyle. After Performance the famous film from 1969 many of us were infatuated with her at school.
"12 X 5" my favourite LP - "Litte Red Rooster" "Off the Hook" "Not Fade Away" "Empty Heart" - great early stuff. Countless thanks to The Rolling Stones. Brian (RIP) Charlie (RIP
The blue Boys were Keith's band and that never changed. When they changed their name to the Rolling Stones it was still Keith's band... Jones was just a hanger on.
I am a big fan since the 60’s for reasons I can’t explain. I just like their music, the rhythm, the blues, the singing, the lyrics. This documentary explains why they are so popular and powerful. Great job! Thanks for sharing. Just got their latest CD hackney diamonds and it’s great!
This is the most historically accurate documentary I have seen about the Stones. No bullshit mythology or fanboy fantasies. Well researched and factual presentations about the Stones are rare and truly refreshing to see.
I remember hearing Satisfaction on my Big brother's radio. I turned 18 in 1980 and I remember watching them do beast of burden on TV. Now I'm 61 and I think of Jagger as old but I don't feel old. I have to remind myself that a 40 year old person thinks of me as an old woman.🎶 You make a grown man cry🎶
Just had to point out at 9 minute mark, you said , Mick & Keith brought Brian Jones and others into their band. The rolling Stones was started by Brian Jones and jones only, Brian brought Mick and Keith into the band
How a serious history of The Rolling Stones can screw up something that basic is ridiculous. Obviously, the entire bent of this video is glorifying Mick and Keith.
Musically and creatively the Stones were always Keith's band. Jones was a poser who became wealthy and famous on the talents of his bandmates. As far as I am concerned the Rolling Stones started that day on the Dartford railway station. There were at least five FOUNDING members of the Rolling Stones. One man can not "found" a group. Don't be silly.
@@williardbillmore5713 You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Brian Jones not only founded the band he named them. Don't take my word for it, give Bill Wyman a call. Yes, one guy can get a group underway. The FACT that Jones founded the band AND named them is BASIC. Richards is awesome and later on Mick and Keith wrote the songs and I love them for doing so. But give credit where credit is due. Even Jagger (and many, many musicians and critics) have said that Brian's talent on many instruments and his imagination gave the Stones a certain texture in their music that was gone for good when Brian became too drunk and drugged up to contribute.
Brian had MAJOR INPUT INTO THE STONES... WORKING EVERYTHING OUT WITH MICK , KEITH. I Definitely Noticed Mick and Brian answering interviews plus he was better looking then Mick. Charlie I know he was 80 yrs. old. But what a great Jazz Drummer and as a drummer no one could play like this incredible man......R.I.P CHARLIE
This was a great documentary, very fair and insightful without getting too deep into the personal squabbles the Stones have had. After 60 years together who wouldn’t have issues from time to time. The Brian Jones comments here never cease to amaze me. Yes, he was a key part of the early Stones and just as important as Mick or Keith. He couldn’t keep it together and they let him go, get over it, that was over 50 years ago and the Stones have been somewhat successful without him!
Lucky enough tio see them live, righr in front of my eyes!!! 1994, Voodoo Lounge tour. Thanks for that show. Love you guys And Mick Taylor as well. Best lead Guit. I ever heard. Him and Keith playing toghether, I may as well be in heaven. 😅❤
What got Mick and Keith back together was the acceptance (perhaps reluctantly) that Rolling Stones was bigger than either of them: that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
As a little boy I had a plastic fantastic Audio Sonic turntable (with built in amp) and a record. It was a sampler with Carly Simon,Santana, John Mayall and...The Rolling Stones Brown Sugar. Bit of a fan ever since. Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed and Exile on Main St. my fav Stones albums.
Mick & Keith are still going strong it would seem. I will always love Keith for being as cool as he is. He once when asked what was it to being cool responded you either are or you're not. Open and shut case. I read his book Life and found it refreshing that he wrote it himself and it is a brief account of what is a much more variable experience. All lives are. The Glimmer Twins are so romantically decadent. But so full of life and lore.
Little Boy Blue and the Blueboys were a band that was active until 1962. The band's members were: Dick Taylor, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards. The band's albums include: Rollin' Stones Blues The band's songs include: Johnny B. Goode Beautiful Delilah Little Queenie La Bamba Around and Around Down the Road Apiece
@@um9272 It shows that there was a band before Brian ran his advert and that Brian joined Mick and Keith's band and he "founded" NOTHING. That story about Jones forming the Rolling Stones is just a myth. The plaque at the Dartford train station honoring Mick and Keith for forming the Stones was correct.
@@elenikorkodelaki2695 What were you doing before you joined? ( Mick and Keith's band) .. *Um... well I was just sort of bumming around waiting for something to happen really. I had quite a few jobs and uh I was trying to get a band going but it was unsuccessful until I met up with Mick and Keith* ...---Brian Jones talking about joining the Blue Boys
The story of how The Rolling Stones formed has now been codified in the rock and roll history books. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were already acquainted, while Brian Jones played with Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated, Ian Stewart, and Charlie Watts. The meeting between these parties at the Ealing Jazz Club served as the flashpoint for 60 years of rock music. If you asked Jones how the band formed in the early days, however, you might have gotten a direct response in the form of a letter. When the Stones were in their earliest solidified incarnation, Jones received a letter from a fan named Doreen Pettifer. She asked how the Stones had formed, and Jones was amicable enough to provide her with an answer. “Dear Doreen / Many thanks for your letter and for the great interest you have shown in the band,” Jones writes. “It’s very gratifying that you should be so willing to help us to the extent you are doing so. Some information.” From there, Jones lays out each of the band members and what their duties entail. Personnel: Keith Richards - Guitar - 19 years old - went to Art School, then straight into rhythm and blues. Mick Jagger - Vocal Harmonica 19 years old. London School of Economics. Charlie Watts, 21 worked in advertising for some years - now full-time musician. (Drummer) Jan Stewart - Piano, 23 works with I.C.I. as a Shipping Clerk during the day (known affectionately as “Stu”) Bill Wyman - Bass - 23, works during the day as a storekeeper or something equally horrible. Only member of the band married - only one who’ll ever be married. Proud father of a baby son (or daughter) Myself, Brian Jones - Guitar and Harmonica, 21 was studying Architecture - more artistic satisfaction from R & B. (Mick, Keith, and myself as I expect you noticed, wear our hair out long, the others being more conventional) Jones also provides a brief history of the band up to that point. *“The band is really an amalgamation of two bands. The one being an R&B band I formed about a year ago, and the other being a group run by Mick and Keith in S.E. London. I was introduced to Keith and we decided to pool our resources, so with Stu from my band, and Mick from Keith’s we became the nucleus of the ‘Stones.’”* Adding: “The first job we did was a half an evening at the Marquee, Oxford Street standing in for Alexis Komer’s Blues Inc. Our first residency was at the Ealing Club, Ealing Boy, which we still do most weeks, unless we are playing elsewhere. Charlie joined us at this point & Bill a bit later. By now we have carried our banner to most parts of London, though by no means every area. We are finding our style of rhythm and blues more readily acceptable than most others in the country at the moment”. “We are doing a series of Saturday dates at the Poole, Dorset, starting next week. We play the Ken Coyler Club and every Sunday evening play the Station Hotel, Richmond which has been described as one of the most hip sessions,” he adds. “We have, I may add, a habit of breaking attendance records. We have signed an agreement with an independent recording company, I.B.C who channel their releases through the major company labels. We have already cut quite a few sides, all on the commercial side.” “Jerry Grant, producer of ‘Saturday Club’ has heard and apparently impressed by an LP of ours, and is coming to hear the band in action at Richmond. … You raised a point in your letter about Blues material. You must appreciate that blues are not easy to put over to the average club audience. They prefer something more in the twisting, jumping line. However at the Ken Coyler club - we always stick in a host of blues material. This is the only place we ever push this type of material with any success.” “Unlike most forms of jazz the accent in R&B should not be on soloists but on an overall integrated group sound - hence the absence of the strings of solos,” he concludes. “Your point of getting our name known before a record is released is a really good one. We must really work together on this. At the moment we haven’t a suitable photograph to send, but this can soon be rectified. Well, I think that’s about all. Once again thank you for your interest in Rhythm and Blues and ourselves. It’s wonderful music and deserves more recognition. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you on the 19th.” If you’re interested in owning this specific piece of rock and roll history, Bonhams has put the letter up for auction. A word of warning, though: the item won’t go cheap. Current estimations have the letter going for between £17,000 - £25,000. The Myth that Jones "founded the band and auditioned and recruited every member is a lie and has grown into an internet myth. The source for this myth is Bill Wyman who seems to have believed the braggadocious lies Brian told him for all those years about how it was once "his" band. Bill was quite willing to tell every journalist and book writer who interviewed him that lie... There is no way Bill could possibly have first hand information about how they got together. Brian asked Keith if he could join Keith's band The Blue Boys around April or May 62 and Bill did not join until mid December 62.
Love 'em or hate 'em, you've gotta love The Stones! Great music, for a start, everything else is just a bonus......... There's no better frontman than Mick + Keith is everything a rock star should be, he makes it look fun + always appears to be enjoying himself. The Rolling Stones are a Rock n Roll band........... They might even be THE Rock n Roll band???............. or I might be talking out of my arse?!?!? (the consensus opinion)
"Satisfaction" and "Start Me Up" will always represent the guys. The Top 5 albums of the Summer of love were Sgt.Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. == Beatles The Monkees == Headquarters The Doors == The Debut Doors Album Jefferson Airplane == Surrealistic Pillow The Stones == Flowers
They have so many better songs than those two... personally if I never heard them again I wouldn't mind...Torn And Frayed, Hand Of Fate, Stray Cat Blues, Sway, Dancing With Mr. D, Time Waits For No one, Down In The Hole and Ventilator Blues are all way better tunes
😂I LOVE Stray Cat Blues and the even more obscure Hand of Fate. Stones have so many great songs that most people aren't aware of hidden away on their not too well known albums!😂
keith is my goat possibly.... he starts off so many tracks w his guitar and he jus kills it....there is a reason they sold so many records this band has had the longest run of all time maybe too! jus an amazing band im 45yo and ive always loved the rolling stones call me old or call me whatever but idgaf i ius love em ... ive done the cock strut before im a goon i know

Keith agreed. *“The band is really an amalgamation of two bands. The one being an R&B band I formed about a year ago, and the other being a group run by Mick and Keith in S.E. London.

The fact is that Brian joined Keith's band and then that band changed their name to the Rolling Stones.
Lots is misinformation in this: At: 7:37 it's stated:The Rolling Stones actually pretty kinda started a band called The Little Boy Blue and the blue boys and at 8:56 eventually Mick and Keith welcomed Brian Jones and Bill Wyman, this is historically incorrect, Mick and Keith saw Brian playing slide guitar at the Ealing Club and asked if they could join his band he was starting,then Bill joined then Charlie last. ain't no kinda started about it.Also at 29:10 states: however during this period Brian Jones addictions spiraled out of control, Um Brian wasn't a drug addict junkie, in fact in 67 when he was in a hospital in France for being drained, they considered Brian a role model patient and the head nurse Mrs. Gillett in recent years spoke very highly of Brian and the nurses loved him. Also he wasn't fired,he left the band and Bill Wyman states on video how they were still good friends. Mary Hallett was the grounds keeper at Cotchford Farm when Brian brought it in Nov 68 and Brian said he would only buy it if she could stay on as grounds keeper. May wanna do a little more research.
Such a lot of incorrect info here. There are much better and older sources that have taken pains to research their content. If you plan to learn ANYTHING on the internet, please use several sources.
I don`t like these kind of doku too.They want the people to think that Jagger/Richards formed the Stones . Some let Brian totally out, horrible. Mainstream shit.
Wrong. The core of the Rolling Stones was a;ways and still is Keith and Mick. They were together and playing long before they ever met Brian. Brian did not have a band because he didn't get along with anyone. Jones was above all an alcoholic and as he started taking amphetamines and acid he went downhill very quickly. He WAS fired for being a drunk and tripping more than he wasn't and his drug convictions meant he couldn't get a work Visa to tour. Jones could no longer function as a musician or even a human being. The night he died he was found to have been taking huge amounts of amphetamines and then sedated himself with enough booze to cause him to pass out and sink to the bottom of his pool,,,he didn't even really drown. There wasn't enough water in his airway to technically call it a drowning he just stopped breathing and sank. Had he not killed himself that night he was n't going to live much longer anyway. Jones was a talentless poser, a malignant narcissist, a psychopath and a waste of space. No one who knew him well liked him at all for very good reasons. BTW Paul Trynka lied to you about EVERYTHING.. YES EVERYTHING! This video is a refreshing representation of the truth about Jones.
Since I knew him personally and in the flesh, while the know it a all's have merely read books....you loose, and I win. It's like bigfoot. Anyone can get a monkey suit and take fuzzy pictures. Whose 9 feet tall to wear the costume? The top ten hits just stopped coming and never really returned. The few good on'e Mick and Keith did write never charted quite as well if at all. Those are the undeniable facts. If you like Tumbling Dice, good for you, but it's not a classic like Satisfaction.Give me fact's not a "follow the heard" opinion. Start Me Up was their last top 10 hit, am I right? 40 years ago? Wyman was the only one to vote against the exit.
Oh wow, Syd Griffin, of the Long Ryders and what the press called the Paisley Underground, The Now, my band loved it. Rickenbackers and Sweetheart of the Rodeo era Byrds and fringe suede jackets. Should be a retrospective of this little known movement.
Thank you , many obscure film/video /interview, parts , yes some Disputed parts , will always be ,yet the rare video I enjoyed , somebody must of said No to the Altamont footage parts where they threaten to stop ,overall its all been said before by whomever , The Rare Footage a delight to See , under any ,stipulations or mixtures thereof They are The Greatest Band of All Time .I like Hackney Diamonds ,theres a return to Roots , pervading it ,
Keith's debut solo album _Talk is Cheap_ was described at the time as "sounding more like the Rolling Stones than the Rolling Stones", but it was really Keith taking a big swipe at Mick.
Their band was Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys. Brian had no band anymore He asked Kieth if he could join their band with the ONLY guy who answered his advert, IAN Stewart.

27:16 The result of the Beatles traveling to India wasn't the album 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'. They had already recorded and released that album. The songs they wrote while in India became 'The White Album'.
I have not heard the new album. I like many of the old songs like "Playing With Fire", "Paint It Black," and "Under My Thumb." I am sure it will be a great album. I like "Tumbling Dice" and many more songs like the one Mary Ann Faithful wrote that Mick recorded.
The great thing with today's technology is its so easy to sample all the new stuff - and then decide whether you want to buy, or just keep streaming...
@@chandulal68Baloni. There was no band to name without Mick and Keith. Jones was a poser and an asshole. There were three geniuses in the Rolling Stones . Two were musical geniuses and one was a managerial genius. Brian was NOT one of them.
@@chandulal68 Bill knows better than what he tells...He is no bastion of honesty just because he was quiet and didn't take drugs ... and here is a hint ...Wyman was not one of the musical geniuses. He was largely brought into the band because he had an extra amplifier and he always had lots of cigarettes. That should tell you something about his talent. Bill was the last one to join so his knowledge of how the band started before he came along was NOT first hand. Bill was never the best bass player...Hell, he wasn't even the best bass player in the Rolling Stones. You should know that if you were a true fan. BTW... Paul Trynka lied to you about EVERYTHING. Shame on you for being so gullible.
I was always under the impression that Brian Jones started the band. Picked Kieth and Mick, chose the style of music they would play and also named the band

46:18 “The Stones took a break in the mid-1980s to consider their options.” Only because Mick and Keith couldn’t work together. Mick’s gripe was Keith: Keith asleep backstage but no-one wants to wake him because he keeps a loaded gun under his pillow, Keith asleep in the studio, Keith flew off to Jamaica instead of mixing the album, Keith slugging press photographers/destroyed a hotel room/gotten into a fistfight with the locals/fallen into a coma. Keith asleep or not showing up until hours after the scheduled start time. The bandmate Keith personally vouched for (Woody) is freebasing again and Mick is singing at a stadium backed by not one but two guitarists falling over onstage. Then there’s Charlie’s heroin addiction… Keith’s gripe: Mick was working hard on his solo career trying to ditch the Stones, and in 1983 had deviously signed a deal with CBS for three solo records for millions of dollars on the back of a Stones contract, without a word to anybody in the band. Says Keith (from his book): “I don’t care who you are, you don’t piggyback on a Rolling Stones deal. Mick felt free to do that. It was total disregard for the band. We didn’t build this band up to stab each other in the back.” As for Keith’s frequent disappearance, he would level the same charge at Mick, who used up any songs he had written (for the Dirty Work_ album) for his solo album. Even as late as 1987, Mick was more than a tad reluctant to talk about the Stones, except to say “no-one should care if the Rolling Stones broke up”. That’s how bad it was between the Glimmer Twins. Despite all this, they still look up to each other.
Eric Burdon at 14 was hanging around the music venue in Newcastle meeting Louis Armstrong and Bo Diddeley and he also was inspired in the 1950s and was performing old blues music very early 1960s. They dont get the recognition they deserve but were clearly a working class band and not the fashion.
Brian Jones the founding *Rolling Stone* was already accompanied by Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts -- at Klooks Kleek venue in west london, proprieter Alexis Korner -- before they invited Jagger and Richards ...

Mick & Keith & Stewart?had a band ‘little boy Blue & the Blues boys ‘.Brian asked them to join him because he didn’t have a band at the time. So they all got together & Bill Wyman joined later & finally Charlie joined . So who started The Rolling Stones ? Brian brought them together sort of ?
Hokum - it was Brian Jone's band originally - he paid wages to Mick and Keith (when he felt like it !). Mick and Keith eventually took over as front men - even though Brian was probably the best musician in the band - but not the best person !
Jones was a poser and a talentless hanger on. He did not found the Rolling Stones. He joined Mick and Keith's band that had been together for almost two years.
Yes - overall not a very nice individual but despite the singing / song writing he was a talented musician. If hed been allowed to live on, who knows what else he'd have done.@@maryr9398

The Blues and Soul music came int0 Britain not just via the ports of Liverpool, London, Bristiol, but Discos for American service men starioned in the Uk in small towns near the Bases they were stationed at.
Can we pleeeaaasse change the format of these rockumentaries? The old footage, and interviews with the band members are fantastic. But listening to some "music critic" drone on about the obvious points at which the music changed is so boring! Talking about things as banal as the subjects driving without seatbelts. Ugh!

44:13 "Mick wanted to focus on his solo career". It was more than that. Mick had had enough of Keith's drug habit, drink habit (where Keith and Ronnie would fall over on stage), turning up for shows late, disappearing during recording sessions, getting into legal trouble...
The physical and psychological deterioration that happened with Brian Jones in the mere two years between '66 and '68 was horrifying. There didn't seem to be any way back for that man. A truly tragic figure. He may not have written the songs but he embodied the spirit, and they were never that great again.
Here is the documented origin of the band in Brian Jones' own words; Brian Jones’ handwritten letter explains how The Rolling Stones were formed The story of how The Rolling Stones formed has now been codified in the rock and roll history books.

I feel like you’re gonna throw in some more stuff like the hiring of Nick Taylor, also, Brian Jones was physically emotionally abusive to Anita, and I got to the point where he was being physically abusive, and Keith simply got her out of the hotel room, that’s how that happened to save her from being beaten up you sure have included the fact that yes, the Hells angels killed a guy, but he was approaching the stage with a pistol his hand. This can be seen in the movie about Altimont gimme shelter .I kind of want to hear some tidbits on things like what is this song paint it Black about. anyway, it’s kind of a short video about decades of information cell there’s that
Mick and Keith joined Brian, not the other way around, Brian founded and named the Band. I was at the Hyde Park Concert the Week Brian died, tripping on Acid, aged 21. Why does this video have young people speaking about something in Music History that their Parents went through, like me, as I am 75 and grew up with their music so are there are no musci history people of my age to talk about this band and time. I starting with a Rolling Stones EP I bought in 1962 or 63 where there were three songs on each side, EP stands for Extended Play, at 45rpm as opposed to LP, Long Play, at 33rpm. I was so proud of myself when I bought Little Red Rooster, 45rpm, the day before it was officially released and I wanted everybody to know that.. I was around 14 at the time, living in Glasgow Scotland. Today, to me they are an embarrassment and need to stop Touring but I guess ego needs to go on. As Joni Mitchell said years ago... ''A man aged 50 should not be shaking his Ass on Stage, its embarrassing''... This latest Album is a cry to revive the past and it fails 100%. Let the past stay in the past, it was the best of times and the worst of times but Im glad I was a part of it living in Old London Town in the late 1960s.
What were you doing before you joined? ( Mick and Keith's band) .. *Um... well I was just sort of bumming around waiting for something to happen really.

why do you call Brian Jones a liar, abw?

You know who was there when Brian joined Keith's band? BRIAN was there. I go with what Brian says about it; *What were you doing before you joined?

@@williardbillmore5713 : Brian founded and NAMED the Band and Kieth and Mick joined HIM, Im 76 years old and born in the UK and first heard the Stones in 1962 when they were doing covers of Blues songs. How old are you ?. Brian was not an ego tripper so he was downplaying his role when he was said he was bumming around.
2:10 How does Sid Griffin get into all these British rock documentaries? He wasn’t there for the beginning of The Beatles, Stones, etc.-he just knows all the stories and tells them like he was, droning on and on. He was born in 1955; bet he wasn’t hanging with the Stones when he was 10.
2 of them and one of them so in many ways they were asking him to join them. I believe he did place the ad in the paper. I pretty much go with what bill Wyman said. Anyway you slice it or dice it there are the 3 original members

The claim has been made that Brian Jones never wrote anything and could not. This is false. Brian Jones wrote the soundtrack of the movie A Degree of Murder.
His name is Andrew OLDAM, not "Oldman". There are so many fundamental inaccuracies in this video.... the Beatles went to India and that resulted in Sgt Pepper???..... they went to India in Feb 1968 but Pepper had already been release in June 1967.
Rolling Stones and David Bowie are finest of finest. Bowie is god. I was 11 years old, and first music i listened was RS and BOWIE! New album is awesome
Have you heard the new album? What do you think of it?
I thought it is a really, really good record..I sounds like it could be straight from 67 thru 73 period of the Stones..the songs are the way we always wanted to hear them..Rocking Rolling Stones....don't miss it..
Stinks, shows exactly why Jagger/Richards is the biggest fraud in rock history. No hits, and you don't have to be a musicologist to tell ,either.
It was BJ's band 😉
why did you listen to a band that you hate !! Idiot 🤣@@bsorryrthatsit7055
Yes, and the stress of managing "the animals" as he called them on or around payday, was too much. After all, practicing those instruments all day would take a toll on anyone. So he turned it over to Oldham and that's when he lost control.He wrote almost all their best songs though, that much is fairly obvious.@@joevanlear7566
They bring my wild side out. It feel good im 69 always looking for ways to feel young. New album does that RIGHT ON Stones Thankyou Greatest Rock Band Ever
Those days look like they were so much better and more fun than now.
I've made that exact premise many many times. As a young man in the 60's it was sort of frightening with the advent of long haired hippies tuning in dropping out. Psychedelics, Burning bras and draft cards. A changing of the guard of the tired old social mores, question authority. Yet there was the greatest music of any generation before or after, headlined by the Rolling Stones. They were there in the late 50's early 60's and they're still at it. As relevant now as then. 60 years later i'm sure they could sell out the largest soccer stadium in the world. Of my top 50 songs of all time, the Rolling Stones make up about 12 of those songs, they cannot and will not be denied. Rock on Guys.
A friend of mine sent me a link to like the Billboard album chart from a week in 1974. My God, every album is not only great but the music has lasted into today. If you were to take a snapshot of the Billboard album chart from 2023, my guess is that 50 years from now no one will remember any of the music.
Those days were slower and you appreciated things more because no computers/cell phones. If you wanted to take a picture of something you had to have a f****** camera😂
They were. I blame mostly law enforcement and the War on Drugs.
I couldn't agree more.. now we live in CCTV Britain!@@gregoryjclark81
Big props to the Rolling Stones for being purveyors of the blues and Black American music!
These cats developed into outstanding stylists, songwriters, musicians, and performers over the decades, but, they ALWAYS remained true and dedicated to the blues!
Their tribute album Blue and Lonesome is awesome and low-down and funky! And their latest album Hackney Diamonds is outstanding and one of their best!
- Props to Nina Van Horn for suggesting they hire the Hell's Angels for security at Altamont
@sexobscura
Whatever that's supposed to mean! I think that this is the wrong forum for you and that The Rolling Stones shits on you pally!
I love how they're still playing. Legendary
I have seen them in concert twice. They were very entertaining.
THANK YOU for sharing this one! I've lived with them (figuratively) my whole life ............ RIP Charlie
I was in love with Keith when I was 15 he was the best thing I'd ever seen or heard and I had a poster of him on my wall still love the band .R.I.P Charlie.
Anita Pallenburg was a sex bomb as was Marianne Faithful especially after the acid and mars bar bust in the late 60s. Anita was seen as a naughty sex bomb on drugs living party girl sophisticated jet set luxury lifestyle. After Performance the famous film from 1969 many of us were infatuated with her at school.
but you didn't mention important age data, I guess he was about 40 then? Keith looked best 40-50 better than Mick at last...
see, not only your age counts as a vital info here

The blue Boys were Keith's band and that never changed. When they changed their name to the Rolling Stones it was still Keith's band...
Jones was just a hanger on.
I am a big fan since the 60’s for reasons I can’t explain. I just like their music, the rhythm, the blues, the singing, the lyrics. This documentary explains why they are so popular and powerful. Great job! Thanks for sharing. Just got their latest CD hackney diamonds and it’s great!
You're welcome! Enjoy the new music.
This is the most historically accurate documentary I have seen about the Stones.
No bullshit mythology or fanboy fantasies. Well researched and factual presentations about the Stones are rare and truly refreshing to see.
I remember hearing Satisfaction on my Big brother's radio. I turned 18 in 1980 and I remember watching them do beast of burden on TV. Now I'm 61 and I think of Jagger as old but I don't feel old. I have to remind myself that a 40 year old person thinks of me as an old woman.🎶 You make a grown man cry🎶
We had one of those real to real tape records!😂❤
LOVE THE STONES ❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent, 5 stars. Thank you
Just had to point out at 9 minute mark, you said , Mick & Keith brought Brian Jones and others into their band. The rolling Stones was started by Brian Jones and jones only, Brian brought Mick and Keith into the band
How a serious history of The Rolling Stones can screw up something that basic is ridiculous. Obviously, the entire bent of this video is glorifying Mick and Keith.
Musically and creatively the Stones were always Keith's band. Jones was a poser who became wealthy and famous on the talents of his bandmates.
As far as I am concerned the Rolling Stones started that day on the Dartford railway station. There were at least five FOUNDING members of the Rolling Stones. One man can not "found" a group.
Don't be silly.
@@williardbillmore5713 You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Brian Jones not only founded the band he named them. Don't take my word for it, give Bill Wyman a call. Yes, one guy can get a group underway. The FACT that Jones founded the band AND named them is BASIC. Richards is awesome and later on Mick and Keith wrote the songs and I love them for doing so. But give credit where credit is due. Even Jagger (and many, many musicians and critics) have said that Brian's talent on many instruments and his imagination gave the Stones a certain texture in their music that was gone for good when Brian became too drunk and drugged up to contribute.
Wow so not true. @@williardbillmore5713
This is ?? Brian Jones was invited by MJ and KR to join their band ! see ya .
Brian had MAJOR INPUT INTO THE STONES... WORKING EVERYTHING OUT WITH MICK , KEITH. I Definitely Noticed Mick and Brian answering interviews plus he was better looking then
Mick. Charlie I know he was 80 yrs. old. But what a great Jazz
Drummer and as a drummer no one could play like this incredible man......R.I.P CHARLIE
Brian totally screwed underage girls, got them pregnant and left them with nothing
Those eye bags made him more beautiful than Mick? 😂
This was a great documentary, very fair and insightful without getting too deep into the personal squabbles the Stones have had. After 60 years together who wouldn’t have issues from time to time. The Brian Jones comments here never cease to amaze me. Yes, he was a key part of the early Stones and just as important as Mick or Keith. He couldn’t keep it together and they let him go, get over it, that was over 50 years ago and the Stones have been somewhat successful without him!
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment and offer your POV.
They've been verysucessfiul..without him
Lucky enough tio see them live, righr in front of my eyes!!!
1994, Voodoo Lounge tour.
Thanks for that show.
Love you guys
And Mick Taylor as well. Best lead Guit. I ever heard.
Him and Keith playing toghether, I may as well be in heaven.

When I heard Jagger singing Im an Emotional Rescue I thought it was The Bee Gees on Smack.
ROCK n ROLL and the best among the best.their story never gets old
🎉 truly the greatest ROCK AND ROLL BAND. 6 DECADES LOL😅WHO ELSE HAVE STAYED ON TOP? 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What got Mick and Keith back together was the acceptance (perhaps reluctantly) that Rolling Stones was bigger than either of them: that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
As a little boy I had a plastic fantastic Audio Sonic turntable (with built in amp) and a record. It was a sampler with Carly Simon,Santana, John Mayall and...The Rolling Stones Brown Sugar. Bit of a fan ever since. Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed and Exile on Main St. my fav Stones albums.
I worked production & was able to be a runner for a couple of shows - awesome band & crew
Mick & Keith are still going strong it would seem. I will always love Keith for being as cool as he is. He once when asked what was it to being cool responded you either are or you're not. Open and shut case. I read his book Life and found it refreshing that he wrote it himself and it is a brief account of what is a much more variable experience. All lives are. The Glimmer Twins are so romantically decadent. But so full of life and lore.
Little Boy Blue and the Blueboys were a band that was active until 1962. The band's members were: Dick Taylor, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards.
The band's albums include:
Rollin' Stones Blues
The band's songs include:
Johnny B. Goode
Beautiful Delilah
Little Queenie
La Bamba

@@um9272 It shows that there was a band before Brian ran his advert and that Brian joined Mick and Keith's band and he "founded" NOTHING.
That story about Jones forming the Rolling Stones is just a myth.
The plaque at the Dartford train station honoring Mick and Keith for forming the Stones was correct.

The story of how The Rolling Stones formed has now been codified in the rock and roll history books. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were already acquainted, while Brian Jones played with Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated, Ian Stewart, and Charlie Watts. The meeting between these parties at the Ealing Jazz Club served as the flashpoint for 60 years of rock music.
If you asked Jones how the band formed in the early days, however, you might have gotten a direct response in the form of a letter. When the Stones were in their earliest solidified incarnation, Jones received a letter from a fan named Doreen Pettifer. She asked how the Stones had formed, and Jones was amicable enough to provide her with an answer.
“Dear Doreen / Many thanks for your letter and for the great interest you have shown in the band,” Jones writes. “It’s very gratifying that you should be so willing to help us to the extent you are doing so. Some information.” From there, Jones lays out each of the band members and what their duties entail.
Personnel:
Keith Richards - Guitar - 19 years old - went to Art School, then straight into rhythm and blues.
Mick Jagger - Vocal Harmonica 19 years old. London School of Economics.
Charlie Watts, 21 worked in advertising for some years - now full-time musician. (Drummer)
Jan Stewart - Piano, 23 works with I.C.I. as a Shipping Clerk during the day (known affectionately as “Stu”)
Bill Wyman - Bass - 23, works during the day as a storekeeper or something equally horrible. Only member of the band married - only one who’ll ever be married. Proud father of a baby son (or daughter)
Myself, Brian Jones - Guitar and Harmonica, 21 was studying Architecture - more artistic satisfaction from R & B.
(Mick, Keith, and myself as I expect you noticed, wear our hair out long, the others being more conventional)
Jones also provides a brief history of the band up to that point.
*“The band is really an amalgamation of two bands. The one being an R&B band I formed about a year ago, and the other being a group run by Mick and Keith in S.E. London. I was introduced to Keith and we decided to pool our resources, so with Stu from my band, and Mick from Keith’s we became the nucleus of the ‘Stones.’”*
Adding: “The first job we did was a half an evening at the Marquee, Oxford Street standing in for Alexis Komer’s Blues Inc. Our first residency was at the Ealing Club, Ealing Boy, which we still do most weeks, unless we are playing elsewhere. Charlie joined us at this point & Bill a bit later. By now we have carried our banner to most parts of London, though by no means every area. We are finding our style of rhythm and blues more readily acceptable than most others in the country at the moment”.
“We are doing a series of Saturday dates at the Poole, Dorset, starting next week. We play the Ken Coyler Club and every Sunday evening play the Station Hotel, Richmond which has been described as one of the most hip sessions,” he adds. “We have, I may add, a habit of breaking attendance records. We have signed an agreement with an independent recording company, I.B.C who channel their releases through the major company labels. We have already cut quite a few sides, all on the commercial side.”
“Jerry Grant, producer of ‘Saturday Club’ has heard and apparently impressed by an LP of ours, and is coming to hear the band in action at Richmond. … You raised a point in your letter about Blues material. You must appreciate that blues are not easy to put over to the average club audience. They prefer something more in the twisting, jumping line. However at the Ken Coyler club - we always stick in a host of blues material. This is the only place we ever push this type of material with any success.”
“Unlike most forms of jazz the accent in R&B should not be on soloists but on an overall integrated group sound - hence the absence of the strings of solos,” he concludes. “Your point of getting our name known before a record is released is a really good one. We must really work together on this. At the moment we haven’t a suitable photograph to send, but this can soon be rectified. Well, I think that’s about all. Once again thank you for your interest in Rhythm and Blues and ourselves. It’s wonderful music and deserves more recognition. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you on the 19th.”
If you’re interested in owning this specific piece of rock and roll history, Bonhams has put the letter up for auction. A word of warning, though: the item won’t go cheap. Current estimations have the letter going for between £17,000 - £25,000.
The Myth that Jones "founded the band and auditioned and recruited every member is a lie and has grown into an internet myth. The source for this myth is Bill Wyman who seems to have believed the braggadocious lies Brian told him for all those years about how it was once "his" band. Bill was quite willing to tell every journalist and book writer who interviewed him that lie... There is no way Bill could possibly have first hand information about how they got together. Brian asked Keith if he could join Keith's band The Blue Boys around April or May 62 and Bill did not join until mid December 62.
This was AWESOME, Thank you!!! 😎
You're welcome!
Charlie left us
The Stones still rock
Love 'em or hate 'em, you've gotta love The Stones!
Great music, for a start, everything else is just a bonus.........
There's no better frontman than Mick + Keith is everything a rock star should be, he makes it look fun + always appears to be enjoying himself.
The Rolling Stones are a Rock n Roll band........... They might even be THE Rock n Roll band???............. or I might be talking out of my arse?!?!? (the consensus opinion)
They were HUGE IN THE 70s , Stones became even bigger .
ROLLING STONES best Band ever 👍👍👍
yes❤
yes yes yes 👋👋👋
"Satisfaction" and "Start Me Up" will always represent the guys.
The Top 5 albums of the Summer of love were
Sgt.Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. == Beatles
The Monkees == Headquarters
The Doors == The Debut Doors Album
Jefferson Airplane == Surrealistic Pillow
The Stones == Flowers
They have so many better songs than those two... personally if I never heard them again I wouldn't mind...Torn And Frayed, Hand Of Fate, Stray Cat Blues, Sway, Dancing With Mr. D, Time Waits For No one, Down In The Hole and Ventilator Blues are all way better tunes
@@Mike-hh3cxHave to disagree with Dancing With Mr D ,but agree with the rest
Hendrix??????
😂I LOVE Stray Cat Blues and the even more obscure Hand of Fate. Stones have so many great songs that most people aren't aware of hidden away on their not too well known albums!😂
also Time Waits for no One is a great Track!
I always found it incredible how the British kids embraced and welcomed our blues culture... and the American kids farted it off...

Talk is Cheap.... Is an EXCELLENT album. Keith Richards solo songs on every Stones album.🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Keith's band was Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys. Brian had no band anymore at that point. He asked Kieth if he could join Keith's band with the ONLY guy who answered his advert, IAN Stewart.
Keith agreed.
*“The band is really an amalgamation of two bands. The one being an R&B band I formed about a year ago, and the other being a group run by Mick and Keith in S.E. London.

The myth that Brian decided to form a band and auditioned every member and hand picked who he wanted is a blatant lie and over the years it has become a widespread myth. The fact is that Brian joined Keith's band and then that band changed their name to the Rolling Stones.
Lots is misinformation in this:
At: 7:37 it's stated:The Rolling Stones actually pretty kinda started a band called The Little Boy Blue and the blue boys and at 8:56 eventually Mick and Keith welcomed Brian Jones and Bill Wyman, this is historically incorrect, Mick and Keith saw Brian playing slide guitar at the Ealing Club and asked if they could join his band he was starting,then Bill joined then Charlie last. ain't no kinda started about it.Also at 29:10 states: however during this period Brian Jones addictions spiraled out of control, Um Brian wasn't a drug addict junkie, in fact in 67 when he was in a hospital in France for being drained, they considered Brian a role model patient and the head nurse Mrs. Gillett in recent years spoke very highly of Brian and the nurses loved him. Also he wasn't fired,he left the band and Bill Wyman states on video how they were still good friends. Mary Hallett was the grounds keeper at Cotchford Farm when Brian brought it in Nov 68 and Brian said he would only buy it if she could stay on as grounds keeper. May wanna do a little more research.
Such a lot of incorrect info here. There are much better and older sources that have taken pains to research their content. If you plan to learn ANYTHING on the internet, please use several sources.
I don`t like these kind of doku too.They want the people to think that Jagger/Richards formed the Stones . Some let Brian totally out, horrible. Mainstream shit.
46:48👈🏻 😂
Wrong. The core of the Rolling Stones was a;ways and still is Keith and Mick. They were together and playing long before they ever met Brian. Brian did not have a band because he didn't get along with anyone. Jones was above all an alcoholic and as he started taking amphetamines and acid he went downhill very quickly. He WAS fired for being a drunk and tripping more than he wasn't and his drug convictions meant he couldn't get a work Visa to tour. Jones could no longer function as a musician or even a human being.
The night he died he was found to have been taking huge amounts of amphetamines and then sedated himself with enough booze to cause him to pass out and sink to the bottom of his pool,,,he didn't even really drown. There wasn't enough water in his airway to technically call it a drowning he just stopped breathing and sank. Had he not killed himself that night he was n't going to live much longer anyway.
Jones was a talentless poser, a malignant narcissist, a psychopath and a waste of space. No one who knew him well liked him at all for very good reasons.
BTW Paul Trynka lied to you about EVERYTHING..
YES EVERYTHING!
This video is a refreshing representation of the truth about Jones.
Since I knew him personally and in the flesh, while the know it a all's have merely read books....you loose, and I win. It's like bigfoot. Anyone can get a monkey suit and take fuzzy pictures. Whose 9 feet tall to wear the costume? The top ten hits just stopped coming and never really returned. The few good on'e Mick and Keith did write never charted quite as well if at all. Those are the undeniable facts. If you like Tumbling Dice, good for you, but it's not a classic like Satisfaction.Give me fact's not a "follow the heard" opinion. Start Me Up was their last top 10 hit, am I right? 40 years ago? Wyman was the only one to vote against the exit.
WOW! The train platform impromptu gig! That's mad! 🤩
Nothing new here on the Stones, but still fun. After all, anything with the Stones is cool.
Oh wow, Syd Griffin, of the Long Ryders and what the press called the Paisley Underground, The Now, my band loved it. Rickenbackers and Sweetheart of the Rodeo era Byrds and fringe suede jackets. Should be a retrospective of this little known movement.

Keith's debut solo album _Talk is Cheap_ was described at the time as "sounding more like the Rolling Stones than the Rolling Stones", but it was really Keith taking a big swipe at Mick.

27:16 The result of the Beatles traveling to India wasn't the album 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'. They had already recorded and released that album. The songs they wrote while in India became 'The White Album'.
And then,after all that peace and love, the Beatles sued each other.
I have not heard the new album. I like many of the old songs like "Playing With Fire", "Paint It Black," and "Under My Thumb." I am sure it will be a great album. I like "Tumbling Dice" and many more songs like the one Mary Ann Faithful wrote that Mick recorded.
Mary Anne Faithful didn't write shit.....Lee Deuce former Baltimore stripper aka Jack the stripper.
The great thing with today's technology is its so easy to sample all the new stuff - and then decide whether you want to buy, or just keep streaming...

It was Brian that asked mick and keith if they want to start a band! it was Brian's band!!
Brian had no band without Mick and Keith.

Brian organised the gigs named the bad and asked mick and Keith to join him…. They looked up to him
@@chandulal68Baloni. There was no band to name without Mick and Keith. Jones was a poser and an asshole.
There were three geniuses in the Rolling Stones . Two were musical geniuses and one was a managerial genius. Brian was NOT one of them.
@@williardbillmore5713 well I guess you know better than Bill Wyman 🤷♂️
@@chandulal68 Bill knows better than what he tells...He is no bastion of honesty just because he was quiet and didn't take drugs ... and here is a hint ...Wyman was not one of the musical geniuses. He was largely brought into the band because he had an extra amplifier and he always had lots of cigarettes.
That should tell you something about his talent.
Bill was the last one to join so his knowledge of how the band started before he came along was NOT first hand.
Bill was never the best bass player...Hell, he wasn't even the best bass player in the Rolling Stones.
You should know that if you were a true fan.
BTW... Paul Trynka lied to you about EVERYTHING.
Shame on you for being so gullible.
I haven't missed a tour since 1978
I was always under the impression that Brian Jones started the band. Picked Kieth and Mick, chose the style of music they would play and also named the band
You were wrong Mr Steve

There was no law to have seat belts back then, in the day.
46:18 “The Stones took a break in the mid-1980s to consider their options.”
Only because Mick and Keith couldn’t work together.
Mick’s gripe was Keith: Keith asleep backstage but no-one wants to wake him because he keeps a loaded gun under his pillow, Keith asleep in the studio, Keith flew off to Jamaica instead of mixing the album, Keith slugging press photographers/destroyed a hotel room/gotten into a fistfight with the locals/fallen into a coma. Keith asleep or not showing up until hours after the scheduled start time. The bandmate Keith personally vouched for (Woody) is freebasing again and Mick is singing at a stadium backed by not one but two guitarists falling over onstage. Then there’s Charlie’s heroin addiction…
Keith’s gripe: Mick was working hard on his solo career trying to ditch the Stones, and in 1983 had deviously signed a deal with CBS for three solo records for millions of dollars on the back of a Stones contract, without a word to anybody in the band. Says Keith (from his book): “I don’t care who you are, you don’t piggyback on a Rolling Stones deal. Mick felt free to do that. It was total disregard for the band. We didn’t build this band up to stab each other in the back.” As for Keith’s frequent disappearance, he would level the same charge at Mick, who used up any songs he had written (for the Dirty Work_ album) for his solo album. Even as late as 1987, Mick was more than a tad reluctant to talk about the Stones, except to say “no-one should care if the Rolling Stones broke up”. That’s how bad it was between the Glimmer Twins.
Despite all this, they still look up to each other.
Eric Burdon at 14 was hanging around the music venue in Newcastle meeting Louis Armstrong and Bo Diddeley and he also was inspired in the 1950s and was performing old blues music very early 1960s. They dont get the recognition they deserve but were clearly a working class band and not the fashion.

Rest In Peace Charlie best band drummer in history
Great documentary.
Thanks for the nice words!
I know everything about the guys I need to know. Many books and docs about them
No need to watch this then.
Much of what you think you know are lies.
Mick & Keith & Stewart?had a band ‘little boy Blue & the Blues boys ‘.Brian asked them to join him because he didn’t have a band at the time. So they all got together & Bill Wyman joined later & finally Charlie joined . So who started The Rolling Stones ? Brian brought them together sort of ?
The Beatles went to India AFTER Sgt Peppers, not before.
Wonder what other information in this documentary is wrong.
Froch desperate for Rob to make excuses for him in the first Groves fight but Robs not having any of it. Love it.
Making the boys the Kings Mick and the boys
Mick and keith and almost like an old married couple they bicker but still love each other
Keith has that artful dodger look with his top hat. He looks babacool.
Hokum - it was Brian Jone's band originally - he paid wages to Mick and Keith (when he felt like it !). Mick and Keith eventually took over as front men - even though Brian was probably the best musician in the band - but not the best person !
Jones was a poser and a talentless hanger on.
He did not found the Rolling Stones. He joined Mick and Keith's band that had been together for almost two years.
Too bad he couldn’t sing or write songs.
Yes - overall not a very nice individual but despite the singing / song writing he was a talented musician. If hed been allowed to live on, who knows what else he'd have done.@@maryr9398

Hard to believe Charlie Watts has been gone for over 2 yrs now. Will they keep on Rockin'?
The Blues and Soul music came int0 Britain not just via the ports of Liverpool, London, Bristiol, but Discos for American service men starioned in the Uk in small towns near the Bases they were stationed at.
Can we pleeeaaasse change the format of these rockumentaries? The old footage, and interviews with the band members are fantastic. But listening to some "music critic" drone on about the obvious points at which the music changed is so boring! Talking about things as banal as the subjects driving without seatbelts. Ugh!

Jones had no band at the time. As he says he was UNSUCCESSFUL at getting a band going.So he met up with Mick and Keith and joined the Blue Boys.
The only one Brian "recruited" was pianist Ian Stewart.
Hello, do you have some documentaries about pink floyd and THE WHO?
without the Beatles there is no Rolling Stones.
44:13 "Mick wanted to focus on his solo career". It was more than that. Mick had had enough of Keith's drug habit, drink habit (where Keith and Ronnie would fall over on stage), turning up for shows late, disappearing during recording sessions, getting into legal trouble...
RIP Charlie
The physical and psychological deterioration that happened with Brian Jones in the mere two years between '66 and '68 was horrifying. There didn't seem to be any way back for that man. A truly tragic figure. He may not have written the songs but he embodied the spirit, and they were never that great again.
Here is the documented origin of the band in Brian Jones' own words;
Brian Jones’ handwritten letter explains how The Rolling Stones were formed
The story of how The Rolling Stones formed has now been codified in the rock and roll history books. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were already acquainted, while Brian Jones played with Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated, Ian Stewart, and Charlie Watts. The meeting between these parties at the Ealing Jazz Club served as the flashpoint for 60 years of rock music.
If you asked Jones how the band formed in the early days, however, you might have gotten a direct response in the form of a letter. When the Stones were in their earliest solidified incarnation, Jones received a letter from a fan named Doreen Pettifer. She asked how the Stones had formed, and Jones was amicable enough to provide her with an answer.
“Dear Doreen / Many thanks for your letter and for the great interest you have shown in the band,” Jones writes. “It’s very gratifying that you should be so willing to help us to the extent you are doing so. Some information.” From there, Jones lays out each of the band members and what their duties entail.
Personnel:
Keith Richards - Guitar - 19 years old - went to Art School, then straight into rhythm and blues.
Mick Jagger - Vocal Harmonica 19 years old. London School of Economics.
Charlie Watts, 21 worked in advertising for some years - now full-time musician. (Drummer)
Ian Stewart - Piano, 23 works with I.C.I. as a Shipping Clerk during the day (known affectionately as “Stu”)
Bill Wyman - Bass - 23, works during the day as a storekeeper or something equally horrible. Only member of the band married - only one who’ll ever be married. Proud father of a baby son (or daughter)
Myself, Brian Jones - Guitar and Harmonica, 21 was studying Architecture - more artistic satisfaction from R & B.
(Mick, Keith, and myself as I expect you noticed, wear our hair out long, the others being more conventional)
Jones also provides a brief history of the band up to that point. “The band is really an amalgamation of two bands. The one being an R&B band I formed about a year ago, and the other being a group run by Mick and Keith in S.E. London. I was introduced to Keith and we decided to pool our resources, so with Stu from my band, and Mick from Keith’s we became the nucleus of the ‘Stones.’”
Adding: “The first job we did was a half an evening at the Marquee, Oxford Street standing in for Alexis Komer’s Blues Inc. Our first residency was at the Ealing Club, Ealing Boy, which we still do most weeks, unless we are playing elsewhere. Charlie joined us at this point & Bill a bit later. By now we have carried our banner to most parts of London, though by no means every area. We are finding our style of rhythm and blues more readily acceptable than most others in the country at the moment”.
“We are doing a series of Saturday dates at the Poole, Dorset, starting next week. We play the Ken Coyler Club and every Sunday evening play the Station Hotel, Richmond which has been described as one of the most hip sessions,” he adds. “We have, I may add, a habit of breaking attendance records. We have signed an agreement with an independent recording company, I.B.C who channel their releases through the major company labels. We have already cut quite a few sides, all on the commercial side.”
“Jerry Grant, producer of ‘Saturday Club’ has heard and apparently impressed by an LP of ours, and is coming to hear the band in action at Richmond. … You raised a point in your letter about Blues material. You must appreciate that blues are not easy to put over to the average club audience. They prefer something more in the twisting, jumping line. However at the Ken Coyler club - we always stick in a host of blues material. This is the only place we ever push this type of material with any success.”
“Unlike most forms of jazz the accent in R&B should not be on soloists but on an overall integrated group sound - hence the absence of the strings of solos,” he concludes. “Your point of getting our name known before a record is released is a really good one. We must really work together on this. At the moment we haven’t a suitable photograph to send, but this can soon be rectified. Well, I think that’s about all. Once again thank you for your interest in Rhythm and Blues and ourselves. It’s wonderful music and deserves more recognition. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you on the 19th.”
If you’re interested in owning this specific piece of rock and roll history, Bonhams has put the letter up for auction. A word of warning, though: the item won’t go cheap. Current estimations have the letter going for between £17,000 - £25,000.
The beatles's friend😊
Fun to watch documentary. I feel like you’re gonna throw in some more stuff like the hiring of Nick Taylor, also, Brian Jones was physically emotionally abusive to Anita, and I got to the point where he was being physically abusive, and Keith simply got her out of the hotel room, that’s how that happened to save her from being beaten up you sure have included the fact that yes, the Hells angels killed a guy, but he was approaching the stage with a pistol his hand. This can be seen in the movie about Altimont gimme shelter .I kind of want to hear some tidbits on things like what is this song paint it Black about. anyway, it’s kind of a short video about decades of information cell there’s that
It's Mick Taylor
Mick and Keith joined Brian, not the other way around, Brian founded and named the Band.
I was at the Hyde Park Concert the Week Brian died, tripping on Acid, aged 21.
Why does this video have young people speaking about something in Music History that their Parents went through, like me, as I am 75 and grew up with their music so are there are no musci history people of my age to talk about this band and time.
I starting with a Rolling Stones EP I bought in 1962 or 63 where there were three songs on each side, EP stands for Extended Play, at 45rpm as opposed to LP, Long Play, at 33rpm.
I was so proud of myself when I bought Little Red Rooster, 45rpm, the day before it was officially released and I wanted everybody to know that.. I was around 14 at the time, living in Glasgow Scotland.
Today, to me they are an embarrassment and need to stop Touring but I guess ego needs to go on.
As Joni Mitchell said years ago... ''A man aged 50 should not be shaking his Ass on Stage, its embarrassing''... This latest Album is a cry to revive the past and it fails 100%.
Let the past stay in the past, it was the best of times and the worst of times but Im glad I was a part of it living in Old London Town in the late 1960s.

Here he explains how he went to Keith to see if he could join Keith's band the Blue Boys;
*“The band is really an amalgamation of two bands. The one being an R&B band I formed about a year ago, and the other being a group run by Mick and Keith in S.E. London.

why do you call Brian Jones a liar, abw? In his own words Brian tells how his attempts to start a new band were unsuccessful.That means he had no band when he was "introduced to Keith" and so he joined Keith's blues band....The Blue Boys
Bill Wyman wasn't there...Paul Trynka wasn't there You were not there and neither was I. You know who was there when Brian joined Keith's band? BRIAN was there.
I go with what Brian says about it;
*What were you doing before you joined? ( Mick and Keith's band) .. *Um... well I was just sort of bumming around waiting for something to happen really. I had quite a few jobs and uh I was trying to get a band going but it was unsuccessful until I met up with Mick and Keith* ...---Brian Jones Telling an interviewer about joining the Blue Boys in 1962
Here is Brian in an authenticated letter to the head of their fan club , telling her how the band was formed...Notice no mention of auditions or , choosing anyone.

Stu was pianist Ian Stewart the only one who successfully answered Brian's advert in the Jazz News.
@@williardbillmore5713 : Brian founded and NAMED the Band and Kieth and Mick joined HIM, Im 76 years old and born in the UK and first heard the Stones in 1962 when they were doing covers of Blues songs. How old are you ?. Brian was not an ego tripper so he was downplaying his role when he was said he was bumming around.
bien,good.fantastic,etc.
2:10 How does Sid Griffin get into all these British rock documentaries? He wasn’t there for the beginning of The Beatles, Stones, etc.-he just knows all the stories and tells them like he was, droning on and on. He was born in 1955; bet he wasn’t hanging with the Stones when he was 10.
TRES Cool
2 of them and one of them so in many ways they were asking him to join them. I believe he did place the ad in the paper. I pretty much go with what bill Wyman said. Anyway you slice it or dice it there are the 3 original members

The claim has been made that Brian Jones never wrote anything and could not. This is false. Brian Jones wrote the soundtrack of the movie A Degree of Murder.
Mick is the ultimate Front Man because he is the ultimate Narcissist.
No mention of how the Beatles opened doors for the British Invasion.
His name is Andrew OLDAM, not "Oldman". There are so many fundamental inaccuracies in this video.... the Beatles went to India and that resulted in Sgt Pepper???..... they went to India in Feb 1968 but Pepper had already been release in June 1967.
Rolling Stones and David Bowie are finest of finest. Bowie is god. I was 11 years old, and first music i listened was RS and BOWIE! New album is awesome
