Brian Jones Life Story (Brian Jones Tribute) 1960s Pop Culture Music Although a big name on the rock scene during the 1960's, the Brian Jones life story is sometimes overshadowed by the band he was once a part of.

This is 1960s Pop Culture Music For all the highly publicised brushes with the law that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards would have in the late 1960s, it was the original leader of the Rolling Stones, Brian Jones, who was the group’s original bad boy-who lived, in the words of The Who's Pete Townshend, “on a higher planet of decadence than anyone I would ever meet.” In this video we look at the Brian Jones life story.

Brian Jones was the best, he was murdered, every one out to get him, police, the band, so jealous of him, he would have started the biggest band on this planet if he lived, he didn't need any one, simply the best,
Brian was The musician in R.S! He was reportedly drowned by one he employed to work on his property.On his own deathbed he apparently admitted it.I would like to hear Bill Wyman and Marrianes, opinions.Brian looked fine publicly,and even taught John Lennon some guitar.
@@skummelkatt Brian could not write. He never had an original musical Idea in his life. That is a fact. When he was pressed into service to write the score for A Degree of Murder , Jones had to appeal to every musician he knew to "help " him come up with what little was produced. The half dozen or so musicians, session men, writers and arrangers who came to Brians aid did almost everything. Jones was not capable of creating anything and he proved it with that project.
Thanks for a well-balanced video. He was a highly talented guy, but he was complex and difficult to work with. The perspective of time allows us to see both sides of the story- the power triangle with Mick & Keith was always unstable, so it was inevitable that they couldn't continue to work together. The great shame was that he never got the chance to rebuild his life and create new music. We'll probably never know what happened on that night in July, but it's quite likely that there were more people in the house than was tated in the official records.
The toxicology report says that by his blood alcohol level Brian had to have consumed seven shots of whiskey. Brian most likely just passed out in his comfortably heated pool, stopped breathing and sank to the bottom , The only surprise is that he lived there for that long and it hadn't happened sooner. Amphetamine binges countered by self sedation with whiskey were a common everyday practice for Brian. This time after doing it he decided to go for a swim.
I have painted Brian Jones Face so many times...He was so beautiful ❤️.... Always remember Brian 🎸!!!...I wish I could live in his time and helped him 🙏🌹
Yeah, funny that Brian’s cannabis conviction stopped him from getting a visa for America, whilst Jagger and Richards convictions didn’t seem to affect their visas at all…..
Keith and Mick had the good sense to NOT say rude and stupid things to their Judge in court like Brian did. Brian reminds me of Trump in that respect. Ha ha ha ha ha ha
@@agnessmythe3521 It was mainly because it was Brians second conviction... He was still on probation for the first one when he was busted again for what he said himself was a set up by the police... In any case the judge spared him of an expected prison sentence even though he had broken his probation order... Had he only had the one conviction he would have probably got his visa... That said,... Brian did not know how to play alot of the new songs due to his frequent absence at the studio when recording...
Brian was jealous? 😂😂😂 No way, it was the other way around. Mick is full of himself. RIP Brian Jones ♥️ You will always be my favorite Rolling Stone 💗💗
@@williardbillmore5713that's bullshit, Brian did compose music. Brian was the one who taught that non dancing Mick, how to play a harmonica. I believe he taught Keith some things about the guitar. Brian can play multiple instruments. FYI 😜
@@jalisabradford6201 Brian can not play anything right now...He is dead. Mick had learned to play the harmonica years before he ever met Brian and if you were a musician you would realize that their styles of playing are extremely different. You may believe anything you want , but keith had been playing guitar in every musical genre, from classical to jazz, since he was nine years old and Brian got his first guitar for his 17th birthday, only three years before they met. He only had memorized a handful of blues only songs on the guitar and he did not have the time to learn more because he had spread his musicianship so thin by dabbling in many other instruments in those three years. Keith had to train and teach Brian all about rock music and how to play it. I would love to see your list of songs and musical pieces that that you think Brian supposedly "composed". There aren't any.
Brian came from a very musical family, mom was a piano teacher, father played an instrument, and was jet propulsion engineer working on ground breaking technology.. The family was Welsh and very intelligent. Brian learnt to play piano via mom and clarinet to improve his lung capacity , having had croup , Brian suffered asthma. Then at age 14 , Brian was given his first acoustic guitar. Brian belonged to a couple Jazz bands predating the Stones , where he was a virtuoso , his musical prowess was already well honed by 1962.. The Rolling Stones name belonged to Brian , he named the band after Muddy Waters tune - Rollin Stone, Andrew Loog Oldham met them in 1963 during a gig at Crawdaddy club, becoming their manager. Eric Easton was original manager and liked Brian .
Jones did not get his first guitar until his *17th* birthday. Keith had been playing many different styles of guitar for eleven years when they met in 62. Jones had only been playing for three years and Keith ended up teaching him most of what he did in the band. The name The Rolling Stones was "owned" legally by the Production company and not by any one person. Brian was a psychopath and an unpleasant manipulative jerk who had no creative abilities whatsoever. Musically he was a copyist and nothing more, impressing people with how he could play music that other people had written.
Wrong on a couple of details. Brian got his first guitar, an acoustic, on his 17th birthday, not his 14th. Brian had been playing guitar only three years when he met Keith. Keith had been playing guitar for ten years.This is why Keith quickly became the musical director and chief writer in the band ... Keith understood music theory and he could play almost any genre of guitar music. Brian had memorized how to play only a handful of blues songs on guitar...he spent most of his time copying other artists harmonica parts and learning saxophone. Keith had to teach Brian everything about rock and roll music. A bands logo can be copyrighted but NO ONE can own the name of a band. As a song title, however Muddy Waters did have a copyright on the song Rollin' Stone that Brian stole.
He founded The Rolling Stones won the girls rock bands that has ever lived. It's really sad that he got addicted to drugs in the wrong way because they screwed up his brain. But I love the fact that they honored him with the song shine a light. Which is now my favorite rolling stones song.
Jones did NOT "found" the Rolling Stones. It is a lie to say that he did. Brian JOINED Keith's band the Blue Boys and the name of that band was changed to the Rolling Stones. Jones was not even a founding member . The Blue Boys were founded by Keith Mick and Dick Taylor six months BEFORE Jones joined them. You recite mythology.
@@williardbillmore5713 Do you not read the facts? They said Brian Jones founded the band and was the original leader. But then he got into drugs. I heard someone introduced to drugs and then regretted it because it screwed up his brain 🧠 I heard Ian Stewart was removed from the band. I heard the manager removed Ian Stewart because he did not fit the bands image.
@@DerekBoldiene360Brian did not found the Rolling stones. That was a lie and a MYTH. Brian Joined Keith and Micks band The Blue Boys and they became the Rolling Stones later... Brian wasn't even a founding member. Jones joined them six months after they were founded. Ian was not given full membership in the band Andy the manager figured six members were too many for their fans to keep track of. Some one had to go and Ian had the least appeal. He remained a vital and creative part of the band until his death in 1985 playing piano on every album and as their road manager. Those are the facts.
Mick and Keith thought they were the best. The rolling stones was Brian's invention. He also played far more instruments than Mick and Keith. I can only imagine the torture and horrible experience at their hands. I'll always believe Brian over the conceited Mick and Keith.
The coroner's report stated it was "death by misadventure," which sounds perfectly reasonable since both his heart and liver were greatly enlarged from alcohol and drug abuse.
This was a very nice video. I'm not completely sure about what I think of his death (the speculation), but I do know I'm grateful for his founding and contributions of The Rolling Stones band. My only real wish for Brian would have been to have found a new sense of happiness and fulfilment in his life, both personally and professionally. When one door shut, I wish 10 more would have opened for him.
I think the Stones might have wanted to get rid of him because they didn't want to pay him after he left the band and may have been a liability. Who knows, but. I think he was murdered and it was a cover-up.
Brian was given a more than generous severance package when he was fired from the Stones. When he died the checks went to his parents and after they died it goes to his surviving sister to this day. No one was murdered for any reason an you are being over dramatic for no good reason just because he was famous. Heavy drinkers and drug users die every day from their fatal habits. Jones was just another one that day. The only one who chose to kill Brian Jones was ...Brian Jones.
I have always believes that Tom Keylock drowned Brian. He was the only underworld figure in the Stones orbit at the time and so the only person with the personality to commit such a crime. I just don't know why he would do it?
I don’t think we will ever know. Originally I believed the murder stories, but when my son died suddenly of an asthma attack, I realized it could be possible for Brian Jones to die that way. Supposedly no one was there when Brian actually drowned. What I wonder is how good were the examinations to determine what killed him? No one but his fans really seemed to care.
Jones did not drown. There wasn't enough water in his airway to officially call it a drowning. Thus the amended Cause of death to: Death By Misadventure by the medical examiner. High as a kite, self sedated with Booze after an amphetamine binge that had lasted days, Brian simply passed out, stopped breathing, possibly due to an asthma attack, and sank to the bottom of his comfortably heated pool. The only real enemy Brian Jones had was...Brian Jones
@donnamartin3451 . It's said there was a guy who worked for Brian who had something wrong with his face and Brian was always Slagging him about it and sopposably he had enough of his verbal abuse and drown him when he was drunk and high so he wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight.Rest in peace to him amen 🙏🕊🦋🐬🌟🌈💫🌹🌹
Very well researched and really enjoyed the video. Who really knows what happened that tragic night in July 1969? although some have speculated that the builder frank thorogood, whom Brian hired was in the pool with him at the time,larking around with him, and then dunked his head under the water a few times. I don't think we will ever know the real truth as the last investigation by Sussex Police in 2009 was closed.
Thanks Michael. Much appreciated. Yes, still lots of mystery surrounding Brian's death. You're absolutely right when you say we will never know the real truth. RIP Brian Jones
Brian Jones was treated in a despicable manner by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. He was the most talented and I feel that egos got in the way. I think Andrew Oldham just encouraged the bullying of Brian because he wanted control. So sad. He was the true talent. I feel since then the Rolling Stones sound has become droll and commercial
I don't think you mentioned his son that he had with the woman who ended up marrying and is still married to Donovan, Julian Jones. Donovan adopted Julian after Brian died. Julian also became a musician but it is Julian's son Joolz Jones (Brian's grandson), who is a very talented blues singer and has many videos here on RUclips.
Just like his grand daddy Joolz can't sing either. I saw him doing THE worst version of Smokestack Lightning I have ever heard. Go look it up and you will see what I mean.
👁 BRIAN JONES WAS MURDERED IN HIS SWIMMING POOL, HE WAS HELD DOWN & DROWN….JEALOUS OF THOSE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN HE COULD HAVE, AND SUCH, BLOODY SHAME IS WHAT IT IS…..💙🧜🏻♂️
Brian never estranged himself from his parents..they kicked him out of the house when he was just 17 for getting his gf pregnant..they were rigid and his mother never showed affection to him....that's documented.
Sometimes I wish I had known Brian. I would've encouraged him to get off the drugs and find his natural high- making music on different instruments. I think Mick Taylor and later Ron Wood would've still come into the Stones' history. If he had lived in 2012, chances are he might've been invited to guest on their tour for 2 songs each night. Unless he needed the money, he might've not agreed under those conditions.
When Jones died he was deeply in tax debt. It took several years for his estate to pay off the taxes he owed. by the residuals and severance pay coming from the Stones organization. None of his six illegitimate children got a penny, even after the taxes were paid and the money went to his parents and then his sister. They, like Jones, all ignored his children's needs. Just imagine how his children felt when the became old enough to realize that their father, who was a famous and wealthy rock star abandoned and denied them to grow up, most of them, in abject poverty.
Very nice, thank you! I reckon he wound a drunken Thorogood up in the pool, Thorogood ducked him a few times to try to shut him up, and then Brian had an asthma attack which led to him inhaling water, losing his strength and sinking. All so so avoidable.
Lots of conjecture there with no evidence. The sad truth is that Brian most likely passed out and stopped breathing due to the alcohol in his blood . There were no bruises on his body and no water in his airway.
@@williardbillmore5713 Hi - 'Sad truth' ?? You mean your own conjecture. if you're being ducked in water by having your head pushed down there wouldn't be body bruises would there? 'Passed out and stopped breathing' ? How does that work when you haven't had that much to drink compared to your usual intake?
@@ysgol3 Toxicology report estimated seven shots of strong whisky on top of a dose of amphetamine eight times a normal dose. Brian didn't drown. He was so sedated he most likely just stopped breathing when he passed out.
Brian jones was murdered by a scumbag Frank Thorogood the rolling stone today are not the same without Charlie Watts he passed away in August 2021. Bill Wyman retired in 1991. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are the only two original member left from the 60’s. I give it to Ron wood who joined the stones in 1975 & still holding on for 48 years. 👍
,Brian was surely a highly talented musician who let his early success push him to disaster. I always considered Ian Stewart much more of a WORKING founder than, "I am the leader, shove my face into the interview microphone/camera and pay me more" Brian. In an interview Mick once said they fired Brian because he always pushed to be the leader, but repeatedly missed recording and performance dates. I felt much more sadness at the 1985 death of Ian Stewart than at Brian's last swim BTW,, the world has was also saddened by the loss of Tina Turner who taught Mick to do so much more on stage than simply sing into a microphone and shake his goodies.
Who says he was jealous and difficult ? Mr Mick Jagger? Brian was at the heart of the Rolling Stones, best musician and inventive ? Isn't it Mick Jagger who benefited the most out of taking that central role? Who was jealous of who again?
Brian, with all his exentricity, was in the end a tragic figure. Now he is really mythical. I don't care about how many drugs he took and how nasty he got, he sacrificed himself for what he loved and transmitted astonishingly playful and surprising tunes and rhythms. Somehow he will live forever.💫💥💛
Thank you. An absolutely brilliant coverage of a man I am actually " too young" to remember! I keep researching when I hear mention of him - who is this guy? I see him in old Stones videos and say - who is this guy? And you have given him better coverage than anyone else so far. I tend to think Mick and Keith got rid of him for the right reasons, and that his death was an accidental consequence of his lifestyle choices. 😥
I found a poem written by jim Morrison its called an * ode to brian jones , can you imagine one 27 club member writing a poem to another 27 club member..i read a lot of different theories about Brian Jones one was that he was sacrificed so the Rolling stones could get bigger ..
The way the occult world works, and fame and fortune, there is always a sacrifice. Blood sacrifice. Not saying anyone in the band had anything to do with it, but their post 69 fame came at his cost for sure. If one is into the occult, like Brian was, one is no longer spiritually protected. One invites those realms into their life when they partake in the occult.
Talented artists are all particular to their taste which until found can get quite bizarre, it seems Brian was over the band but not the name "Rolling Stones" which belonged to him and was not for sale which probably cost him his life..
I believe Anna Wohlini's account of Brian's death. He invited a man he had just fired to swim with him, I cannot imagine why. Frank Thorogood was the foreman who had been remodeling Brian's house. By all accounts, he was angry about being fired because he and Brian had disagreements about the quality of the work. (Quaaludes ) down the toilet. He was cleaning up and had only 2 pints of beer in his system at the time of his death. Whether by accident or intentionally, Frank Thorogood killed Brian Jones. Brian was an excellent swimmer, so.... Wohlin was there. she came outside and found Brian floating in the pool, pulled him out, and found he had a pulse. Thorogood confessed on his deathbed, that is good enough for me. That's what I think.
No doubt about his musical instrumental prowess. Apparently not a nice person; as you touched upon here. He was articulate and had a superb IQ. I've looked at all aspects of his death; over the years. He may have got into an argument; with the builder. (Charlie said he was quite like that) This may have led to horseplay; and tragedy. I don't think it was meant to be murder. They were all pissed and stoned; the guests. I don't think Brian was....he may have had an asthma attack, through stress; whilst the others, returned to the house.
This might also have been written in some of the previous 247 comments. Brian was killed by Frank Thorogood. Frank Thorogood confessed to the deed on his deathbed in 1993, telling the band’s former road manager Tom Keylock, ‘It was me that did Brian. I just finally snapped’. Frank and other no-good hang-arounds were by Brian to be kicked out of his estate, and therefore Frank drowned Brian.
I would not be surprised if they actually started him on drugs to get rid of him at some point, when they realised how much money they would make now that the group was famous thanks to him.
That contractor drowned him! There was no signs of a struggle but, in the shape he was probably in, holding him under by the hair until he drowned wouldn't indicate a struggle because it wouldn't have been one! He killed him!!
I think someone gave him a drug that made him unconscious. He went into the pool lost control and died. I also think that some band members were jealous of Brian cause he was a very gifted and talented man. He through it all away to drugs just like Elvis did.☹️ To young to die😶. But I guess God wanted Brian.
Brian Jones wasn't able to write songs. Jagger and Richards wrote all the material. They took over. Brian Jones could not cope with these facts. It is as simple as that.
Jones did not "found" or create the Stones... He asked Keith if he could join Keith's band and Keith let him in. Brian was a talentless lazy poser. *“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.’”* ---Brian Jones. Jones did not recruit anyone who became a full member of the Rolling Stones with his stupid advert in the Jazz Newspaper. He wasn't even a founding member of the Blue Boys , the band that changed their name to the Rolling Stones. Keith and Mick founded that band six months before Brian asked to join it. All that popular mythology written about Brian is a lie.
Again..they all founded the band. It says it right there in that statement. It does not state that he joined Keith's bands at all. It clearly says an amalgamation. That means a combining.
@@thaismatsumotoHow does one guy who is NOT in a band "amalgamate" with anyone? It was just Brian, desperate to be in a good band tying to make himself sound more important than he was. One guy and someone who answered his advert do not make a band... Sorry you lose. Brian asked to join Keith's band and Keith said yes. You can't make it something that it was not...and Brian couldn't either.
@williardbillmore5713 Are you that dense? I never said he was in a band at that time. I said it clearly says an amalgamation ,which means combining. So since you Iack reading comprehension, I'll make it simple for you. Brian Jones and Ian Stewart shared a musical interest. They met in 1961 and became buddies.Then Brian placed an ad ,which is how they hooked up with Mick,who was buddies with Keith. That is how they met.And became friends.And then started the band that eventually became the Rolling Stones . The fact that Mick and Keith were in a different band at the time they met is irrelevant. That is a different band,not what became the Rolling Stones. And it was a combining of these various musicians and others ,that became the Rolling Stones.
@@thaismatsumoto The name of the band that Brian JOINED was Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys KEITH'S BAND. They did not change their name to the Rollin' Stones until Just before they played at the Marquee Club in Soho in July, two months later. Brian said in the letter "The band is really an amalgamation of TWO bands." Brian was lying . He had no band . In that context Brian is trying to imply that two bands, one of them "his", combined and that is NOT what happened. "When Brian went to JOIN the Blue Boys there was only one band involved...KEITH'S BAND that band was "founded " seven months earlier By Keith Mick and Dick Look, if you love the distinction between amalgamation and joining I will let you have it, but you can not say the Brian founded the Blue Boys. The Blue Boys had been founded the year before and they remained the Blue Boys for another two months after Brian amalgamated with them. Then they became the Rollin Stones. At least you are not trying to tell me that Brian auditioned a bunch of musicians and chose Mick and Keith because they auditioned for him too. That popular myth is pure fantasy. Tell me, If you and your friend joined the Army would you say that you formed an amalgamation with the US Military? Ha ha ha ha ha
👁️ IF THAT’S BRIAN JONES IN THE PICTURE THERE, YOU CAN SEE, WHAT LOOKS TO BE LIKE BRUISING AROUND THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE NECK…..SUGGESTING FOUL PLAY, MOST DEFINITELY👅 R.I.P. OH DEAR FRIEND🩵⚡️🧜🏻♂️
Brian was the most expendable member of the Stones. He couldn't sing and he never wrote a single song in the seven years he supposedly "led" the band. He was impossibly difficult to work with, no one who knew him well liked him at all. He was an abuser of women and a manipulative self centered egomaniac. He never cared how his drug and alcohol abuse impacted the people he worked with and who loved him. When his ability to perform, tour and show up at recording sessions eroded due to his self indulgence in powerful psychedelics, pills and alcohol, Jones had written his own ticket to be sacked. On autopsy his heart was enlarged and swollen and his liver looked like Pate foie gras. He had become increasingly dependent on his inhaler to keep his severe asthma under control. Had he not drowned in his pool his life was soon to end anyway. Jones killed himself.
@@corinnetodd4807 As laughable as it may be, LOL, In the year or two before they fired Jones The other Stones did bend over backwards to give him respect and dignity by crediting him on songs he had absolutely nothing to do with because he was so out of it he couldn't even function as a human being. Midnight Rambler is a perfect example. Jones was unable to play slide guitar or harmonica or anything else. Mick played all the harmonica as well as the vocal and Keith played at least three guitar tracks on that song.... Brian is credited with "conga drums" on that recording. I defy anyone to demonstrate where there are any conga drums on Midnight Rambler.
@@williardbillmore5713 they had an agenda and he knew it. In the beginning Mick and Keith were turned down once by Brian and they kept after him to be in the band he was forming. Brian was already seasoned they were not. Jagger even copied his dance moves from Brown,there was nothing original and who taught him alot? Yes Kieth was a guitarist but again who opened up techniques to him. Lyrics without great instrumentals are worthless and visa versa. Brian was gifted with instruments of all kinds. He was asked by The Beatles and others to work in sessions long before Jagger was ever asked and it wasn't often. The duo was made to write songs they didn't enter with any.IMO along with other stuff they thought they were gonna fire him and ride on success he started and the name. Brian owned it and they and the suits were going to have to pay and they weren't going to have that.,hence Brian's demise. Musically IMO after 69 they lost my interest and had nothing unique. Not saying they were awful but...
@@HistoryandNostalgiaChannel well according to what Bill Wyman said this is what he said he said in the very beginning of the stones career it was really Brian’s Jones band he had everything to do with it he formed the band named the band even decided what members in the band he wanted he wanted them to be a blues cover band he didn’t want them to become hit makers and write there own songs he could play any instrument he even wrote some songs then he stared losing his ownership and became less important as the years went by then he was thrown out of the band then they get Mick Taylor to replace him then a month later he’s dead
Brian Jones Life Story (Brian Jones Tribute) 1960s Pop Culture Music
Although a big name on the rock scene during the 1960's, the Brian Jones life story is sometimes overshadowed by the band he was once a part of. The British musician and composer died at the age of 27, on July 2, 1969, in mysterious circumstances... This is 1960s Pop Culture Music
For all the highly publicised brushes with the law that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards would have in the late 1960s, it was the original leader of the Rolling Stones, Brian Jones, who was the group’s original bad boy-who lived, in the words of The Who's Pete Townshend, “on a higher planet of decadence than anyone I would ever meet.” In this video we look at the Brian Jones life story. This is a Brian Jones tribute. What do you think happened to Brian? Leave your comments below!

Brian Jones was the best, he was murdered, every one out to get him, police, the band, so jealous of him, he would have started the biggest band on this planet if he lived, he didn't need any one, simply the best,
Sorry but you can not get away with calling someone who never composed anything in his entire career a "composer".
Thank you, Brian - You will never be forgotten as one of the greatest rock musicians from the most exciting time in rock history!
Great comment. Totally agree with you.
Brian was The musician in R.S! He was reportedly drowned by one he employed to work on his property.On his own deathbed he apparently admitted it.I would like to hear Bill Wyman and Marrianes, opinions.Brian looked fine publicly,and even taught John Lennon some guitar.
She's a Rainbow, Dandelion, Ruby Tuesday, Lady Jane, 2000 Light Years From Home,
We Love You-- were all possible because of Brian Jones.
Great comment Ed. Yes, Brian was a major talent. Gone too soon. RIP Brian Jones
Keith and Mick wrote all the songs you just mentioned. If you liked anything Brian played , you are saying that you liked what Keith and Mick wrote.
@@skummelkatt Brian could not write. He never had an original musical Idea in his life. That is a fact.
When he was pressed into service to write the score for A Degree of Murder , Jones had to appeal to every musician he knew to "help " him come up with what little was produced. The half dozen or so musicians, session men, writers and arrangers who came to Brians aid did almost everything.
Jones was not capable of creating anything and he proved it with that project.
@@williardbillmore5713 correct
@@williardbillmore5713 absolutely
Brian will always,in my mind , be the true Rolling Stone, without him there, would be no Rolling Stones,they ended in 1969.
Great comment Michael. Yes, Brian was the true and original Rolling Stone.
Their music after that was superb, up to and including; Some Girls in 1978
NO THEY BEGAN IN 1969 WHEN MICK TAYLOR JOINED ..HIS WAS THE BEST ERA OF THE BAND..BRIAN WHO ????
@@steffanhoffmann Some GIRLS was awesome
@@HistoryandNostalgiaChannel They were soo much better without him The Mick Taylor era was the best ..BRIAN WHO?????
I liked the Stones in the early days, it seems that after Brian left, I too moved on. RIP Brian. "No Jones, No Stones"
RIP Brian Jones
Thanks for a well-balanced video.
He was a highly talented guy, but he was complex and difficult to work with. The perspective of time allows us to see both sides of the story- the power triangle with Mick & Keith was always unstable, so it was inevitable that they couldn't continue to work together. The great shame was that he never got the chance to rebuild his life and create new music. We'll probably never know what happened on that night in July, but it's quite likely that there were more people in the house than was tated in the official records.
RIP Brian Jones
The toxicology report says that by his blood alcohol level Brian had to have consumed seven shots of whiskey. Brian most likely just passed out in his comfortably heated pool, stopped breathing and sank to the bottom , The only surprise is that he lived there for that long and it hadn't happened sooner. Amphetamine binges countered by self sedation with whiskey were a common everyday practice for Brian. This time after doing it he decided to go for a swim.
I have painted Brian Jones Face so many times...He was so beautiful ❤️.... Always remember Brian 🎸!!!...I wish I could live in his time and helped him 🙏🌹
Great comment Eleni. RIP Brian Jones
@@HistoryandNostalgiaChannel Thank you!!..
You can't help those who don't want to be helped !
@@theseeker4642 In difficult times when someone is suffering, help and love can be like a medicine!!
He was beyond help. Don't think they didn't try.
Yeah, funny that Brian’s cannabis conviction stopped him from getting a visa for America, whilst Jagger and Richards convictions didn’t seem to affect their visas at all…..
I agree with you Agnes! Lots of weird stuff still reverberating all these years later surrounding Brian’s death.
Keith and Mick had the good sense to NOT say rude and stupid things to their Judge in court like Brian did.
Brian reminds me of Trump in that respect. Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Mick and Keith were smart enough to NOT say stupid things to the judge at sentencing.
Brian had no such self control.
@@agnessmythe3521 It was mainly because it was Brians second conviction... He was still on probation for the first one when he was busted again for what he said himself was a set up by the police... In any case the judge spared him of an expected prison sentence even though he had broken his probation order... Had he only had the one conviction he would have probably got his visa... That said,... Brian did not know how to play alot of the new songs due to his frequent absence at the studio when recording...
@@pauljohnson3686 In short: He made himself obsolete.
Brian Jones very talented 💖
He certainly was...
He never wrote a single song in his entire career.
Brian was jealous? 😂😂😂 No way, it was the other way around. Mick is full of himself. RIP Brian Jones ♥️ You will always be my favorite Rolling Stone 💗💗
RIP Brian Jones
Jones was jealous of anyone who could write a song. He did not possess the talents to write.
@@williardbillmore5713that's bullshit, Brian did compose music. Brian was the one who taught that non dancing Mick, how to play a harmonica. I believe he taught Keith some things about the guitar. Brian can play multiple instruments. FYI 😜
@@jalisabradford6201 Brian can not play anything right now...He is dead.
Mick had learned to play the harmonica years before he ever met Brian and if you were a musician you would realize that their styles of playing are extremely different.
You may believe anything you want , but keith had been playing guitar in every musical genre, from classical to jazz, since he was nine years old and Brian got his first guitar for his 17th birthday, only three years before they met. He only had memorized a handful of blues only songs on the guitar and he did not have the time to learn more because he had spread his musicianship so thin by dabbling in many other instruments in those three years.
Keith had to train and teach Brian all about rock music and how to play it.
I would love to see your list of songs and musical pieces that that you think Brian supposedly "composed".
There aren't any.
@@williardbillmore5713he was multi talented. Given the time. If he hadn’t died. I could see him writing songs.
Brian came from a very musical family, mom was a piano teacher, father played an instrument, and was jet propulsion engineer working on ground breaking technology.. The family was Welsh and very intelligent. Brian learnt to play piano via mom and clarinet to improve his lung capacity , having had croup , Brian suffered asthma. Then at age 14 , Brian was given his first acoustic guitar. Brian belonged to a couple Jazz bands predating the Stones , where he was a virtuoso , his musical prowess was already well honed by 1962.. The Rolling Stones name belonged to Brian , he named the band after Muddy Waters tune - Rollin Stone, Andrew Loog Oldham met them in 1963 during a gig at Crawdaddy club, becoming their manager. Eric Easton was original manager and liked Brian .
Great comment Carolyn👍😊
Jones did not get his first guitar until his *17th* birthday. Keith had been playing many different styles of guitar for eleven years when they met in 62. Jones had only been playing for three years and Keith ended up teaching him most of what he did in the band. The name The Rolling Stones was "owned" legally by the Production company and not by any one person.
Brian was a psychopath and an unpleasant manipulative jerk who had no creative abilities whatsoever. Musically he was a copyist and nothing more, impressing people with how he could play music that other people had written.
Wrong on a couple of details. Brian got his first guitar, an acoustic, on his 17th birthday, not his 14th. Brian had been playing guitar only three years when he met Keith. Keith had been playing guitar for ten years.This is why Keith quickly became the musical director and chief writer in the band ...
Keith understood music theory and he could play almost any genre of guitar music. Brian had memorized how to play only a handful of blues songs on guitar...he spent most of his time copying other artists harmonica parts and learning saxophone. Keith had to teach Brian everything about rock and roll music.
A bands logo can be copyrighted but NO ONE can own the name of a band.
As a song title, however Muddy Waters did have a copyright on the song Rollin' Stone that Brian stole.
What a pack of lies, Carolyn
Shame on you for lying like that about a dead guy.
@@williardbillmore5713 The same dead guy who you slag off, on every youtube video about? Seriously,seek help.
He founded The Rolling Stones won the girls rock bands that has ever lived. It's really sad that he got addicted to drugs in the wrong way because they screwed up his brain. But I love the fact that they honored him with the song shine a light. Which is now my favorite rolling stones song.
RIP Brian Jones
Jones did NOT "found" the Rolling Stones. It is a lie to say that he did. Brian JOINED Keith's band the Blue Boys and the name of that band was changed to the Rolling Stones. Jones was not even a founding member . The Blue Boys were founded by Keith Mick and Dick Taylor six months BEFORE Jones joined them.
You recite mythology.
@@williardbillmore5713 Do you not read the facts? They said Brian Jones founded the band and was the original leader. But then he got into drugs. I heard someone introduced to drugs and then regretted it because it screwed up his brain 🧠 I heard Ian Stewart was removed from the band. I heard the manager removed Ian Stewart because he did not fit the bands image.
@@DerekBoldiene360Brian did not found the Rolling stones. That was a lie and a MYTH.
Brian Joined Keith and Micks band The Blue Boys and they became the Rolling Stones later... Brian wasn't even a founding member. Jones joined them six months after they were founded. Ian was not given full membership in the band Andy the manager figured six members were too many for their fans to keep track of. Some one had to go and Ian had the least appeal. He remained a vital and creative part of the band until his death in 1985 playing piano on every album and as their road manager.
Those are the facts.
Mick and Keith thought they were the best. The rolling stones was Brian's invention. He also played far more instruments than Mick and Keith. I can only imagine the torture and horrible experience at their hands. I'll always believe Brian over the conceited Mick and Keith.
RIP Brian Jones
concordo pienamente! E sono sicura che mick e keith abbiano ordinato a qualcuno di ucciderlo
Frank held him under the water in the pool.. The surrounding factors all add up to the moment that it happened...
You don't know that
Brian Jones wasn’t murdered… that’s a load of rubbish and an inane conspiracy theory…!
The coroner's report stated it was "death by misadventure," which sounds perfectly reasonable since both his heart and liver were greatly enlarged from alcohol and drug abuse.
@@camoss3724 Yes we all know about the coroners report says.
@@pauljohnson3686 I also believe the contractor drowned him!!
brian was so brilliant
Indeed he was. Sadly missed!
This was a very nice video. I'm not completely sure about what I think of his death (the speculation), but I do know I'm grateful for his founding and contributions of The Rolling Stones band. My only real wish for Brian would have been to have found a new sense of happiness and fulfilment in his life, both personally and professionally. When one door shut, I wish 10 more would have opened for him.
RIP Brian Jones
You cant accuse him of looking shabby for the photo shoots. What a dandy.
A sharply dressed man indeed. RIP Brian Jones
Yes..lovely..he was a fashion plate..for sure..
thanks nice video
Thank you too!
I think the Stones might have wanted to get rid of him because they didn't want to pay him after he left the band and may have been a liability. Who knows, but. I think he was murdered and it was a cover-up.
Good point Steve. Yes, there are many mysteries surrounding Brian's death. I'm not sure if we will ever know the full truth.
Brian was given a more than generous severance package when he was fired from the Stones. When he died the checks went to his parents and after they died it goes to his surviving sister to this day.
No one was murdered for any reason an you are being over dramatic for no good reason just because he was famous. Heavy drinkers and drug users die every day from their fatal habits. Jones was just another one that day.
The only one who chose to kill Brian Jones was ...Brian Jones.
He added some great lines. RIP.
RIP Brian Jones
I have always believes that Tom Keylock drowned Brian. He was the only underworld figure in the Stones orbit at the time and so the only person with the personality to commit such a crime. I just don't know why he would do it?
RIP Brian Jones
He didn't.
Jones killed himself with drugs and booze.
I don’t think we will ever know. Originally I believed the murder stories, but when my son died suddenly of an asthma attack, I realized it could be possible for Brian Jones to die that way. Supposedly no one was there when Brian actually drowned. What I wonder is how good were the examinations to determine what killed him? No one but his fans really seemed to care.
I don't think we will ever know the real truth here. RIP Brian Jones
Jones did not drown. There wasn't enough water in his airway to officially call it a drowning.
Thus the amended Cause of death to: Death By Misadventure by the medical examiner.
High as a kite, self sedated with Booze after an amphetamine binge that had lasted days, Brian simply passed out, stopped breathing, possibly due to an asthma attack, and sank to the bottom of his comfortably heated pool.
The only real enemy Brian Jones had was...Brian Jones
@donnamartin3451 . It's said there was a guy who worked for Brian who had something wrong with his face and Brian was always Slagging him about it and sopposably he had enough of his verbal abuse and drown him when he was drunk and high so he wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight.Rest in peace to him amen 🙏🕊🦋🐬🌟🌈💫🌹🌹
@@sandrakenney567yep the fellow confessed to murdering Brian on his death bed.
A genius 💙
I believe he was
Who couldn't write but a superb creative instrumentalist
Sadly no... Mick and Keith are the geniuses.
Very well researched and really enjoyed the video. Who really knows what happened that tragic night in July 1969? although some have speculated that the builder frank thorogood, whom Brian hired was in the pool with him at the time,larking around with him, and then dunked his head under the water a few times. I don't think we will ever know the real truth as the last investigation by Sussex Police in 2009 was closed.
Thanks Michael. Much appreciated. Yes, still lots of mystery surrounding Brian's death. You're absolutely right when you say we will never know the real truth. RIP Brian Jones
And Thorogood was related to one of the detectives. How convenient.
@@capt.rickenbacker6539
No Keylocks brother was a Scotland yard detective
Brian Jones was treated in a despicable manner by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. He was the most talented and I feel that egos got in the way. I think Andrew Oldham just encouraged the bullying of Brian because he wanted control. So sad. He was the true talent. I feel since then the Rolling Stones sound has become droll and commercial
RIP Brian Jones
I don't think you mentioned his son that he had with the woman who ended up marrying and is still married to Donovan, Julian Jones. Donovan adopted Julian after Brian died. Julian also became a musician but it is Julian's son Joolz Jones (Brian's grandson), who is a very talented blues singer and has many videos here on RUclips.
Hi Donna, thank for this. Hard to sometimes fit it all in. Brian led a fairly chaotic life when it came to women in general.
Just like his grand daddy Joolz can't sing either. I saw him doing THE worst version of Smokestack Lightning I have ever heard.
Go look it up and you will see what I mean.
@@williardbillmore5713 Be gone Troll.

@@HistoryandNostalgiaChannel SURE LOVE & MISS BRIAN♥️🇬🇧
Brian never estranged himself from his parents..they kicked him out of the house when he was just 17 for getting his gf pregnant..they were rigid and his mother never showed affection to him....that's documented.
RIP Brian Jones
Sometimes I wish I had known Brian. I would've encouraged him to get off the drugs and find his natural high- making music on different instruments. I think Mick Taylor and later Ron Wood would've still come into the Stones' history. If he had lived in 2012, chances are he might've been invited to guest on their tour for 2 songs each night. Unless he needed the money, he might've not agreed under those conditions.
Hi William, good comment. RIP Brian Jones.
When Jones died he was deeply in tax debt. It took several years for his estate to pay off the taxes he owed. by the residuals and severance pay coming from the Stones organization. None of his six illegitimate children got a penny, even after the taxes were paid and the money went to his parents and then his sister. They, like Jones, all ignored his children's needs.
Just imagine how his children felt when the became old enough to realize that their father, who was a famous and wealthy rock star abandoned and denied them to grow up, most of them, in abject poverty.
Very nice, thank you!
I reckon he wound a drunken Thorogood up in the pool, Thorogood ducked him a few times to try to shut him up, and then Brian had an asthma attack which led to him inhaling water, losing his strength and sinking. All so so avoidable.
RIP Brian Jones
@@HistoryandNostalgiaChannel RIP indeed - I'm very much looking forward to the BBC documentary about him tomorrow (Monday 15th).
Lots of conjecture there with no evidence. The sad truth is that Brian most likely passed out and stopped breathing due to the alcohol in his blood . There were no bruises on his body and no water in his airway.
@@williardbillmore5713 Hi - 'Sad truth' ??
You mean your own conjecture. if you're being ducked in water by having your head pushed down there wouldn't be body bruises would there?
'Passed out and stopped breathing' ? How does that work when you haven't had that much to drink compared to your usual intake?
@@ysgol3 Toxicology report estimated seven shots of strong whisky on top of a dose of amphetamine eight times a normal dose.
Brian didn't drown. He was so sedated he most likely just stopped breathing when he passed out.
Brian jones was murdered by a scumbag Frank Thorogood the rolling stone today are not the same without Charlie Watts he passed away in August 2021. Bill Wyman retired in 1991. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are the only two original member left from the 60’s. I give it to Ron wood who joined the stones in 1975 & still holding on for 48 years. 👍
RIP Brian Jones
,Brian was surely a highly talented musician who let his early success push him to disaster.
I always considered Ian Stewart much more of a WORKING founder than, "I am the leader, shove my face into the interview microphone/camera and pay me more" Brian.
In an interview Mick once said they fired Brian because he always pushed to be the leader, but repeatedly missed recording and performance dates.
I felt much more sadness at the 1985 death of Ian Stewart than at Brian's last swim
BTW,, the world has was also saddened by the loss of Tina Turner who taught Mick to do so much more on stage than simply sing into a microphone and shake his goodies.
RIP Brian Jones
I agree. Ian was may times more important to the Stones sound than Jones could ever hope to be.
Brian was a malignant narcissist and a poser.
Who says he was jealous and difficult ? Mr Mick Jagger?
Brian was at the heart of the Rolling Stones, best musician and inventive ?
Isn't it Mick Jagger who benefited the most out of taking that central role?
Who was jealous of who again?
RIP Brian Jones
I like the Stones from ‘65 to ‘68 best. Shame Jones lost the plot

Brian, with all his exentricity, was in the end a tragic figure. Now he is really mythical. I don't care about how many drugs he took and how nasty he got, he sacrificed himself for what he loved and transmitted astonishingly playful and surprising tunes and rhythms. Somehow he will live forever.💫💥💛

Thank you. An absolutely brilliant coverage of a man I am actually " too young" to remember! I keep researching when I hear mention of him - who is this guy?
I see him in old Stones videos and say - who is this guy? And you have given him better coverage than anyone else so far. I tend to think Mick and Keith got rid of him for the right reasons, and that his death was an accidental consequence of his lifestyle choices. 😥
Thank you very much for the positive comment! RIP Brian Jones
Brian was the upstream swimming Piscean until his end.

How many songs did Brian Jones write for the Rolling Stones?
RIP Brian Jones
I found a poem written by jim Morrison its called an * ode to brian jones , can you imagine one 27 club member writing a poem to another 27 club member..i read a lot of different theories about Brian Jones one was that he was sacrificed so the Rolling stones could get bigger ..
RIP Brian Jones
The way the occult world works, and fame and fortune, there is always a sacrifice. Blood sacrifice. Not saying anyone in the band had anything to do with it, but their post 69 fame came at his cost for sure. If one is into the occult, like Brian was, one is no longer spiritually protected. One invites those realms into their life when they partake in the occult.
Tragic such a great musician
RIP Brian Jones🙏

Yes, RIP Brian Jones
I believe Anna Wohlini's account of Brian's death. He invited a man he had just fired to swim with him, I cannot imagine why.
Frank Thorogood was the foreman who had been remodeling Brian's house. By all accounts, he was angry about being fired because he and Brian had disagreements about the quality of the work.
(Quaaludes ) down the toilet. He was cleaning up and had only 2 pints of beer in his system at the time of his death.
Whether by accident or intentionally, Frank Thorogood killed Brian Jones. Brian was an excellent swimmer, so....
Wohlin was there. she came outside and found Brian floating in the pool, pulled him out, and found he had a pulse.
Thorogood confessed on his deathbed, that is good enough for me. That's what I think.
RIP Brian Jones

💯 agree..
No doubt about his musical instrumental prowess.
Apparently not a nice person; as you touched upon here.
He was articulate and had a superb IQ.
I've looked at all aspects of his death; over the years.
He may have got into an argument; with the builder.
(Charlie said he was quite like that)
This may have led to horseplay; and tragedy.
I don't think it was meant to be murder.
They were all pissed and stoned; the guests.
I don't think Brian was....he may have had an asthma attack, through stress; whilst the others, returned to the house.
RIP Brian Jones
He was too do a concert with Janice + Jimi against war
Yes, very sad that he didn't get to do it. RIP Brian Jones
IF THE POLICE LOOKED IN HES DEATH DEEPER THAY WOULD HAVE GOT THE KILLER
RIP Brian Jones
Did Anna write several books on brian? I can see 2.
RIP Brian Jones
This might also have been written in some of the previous 247 comments. Brian was killed by Frank Thorogood. Frank Thorogood confessed to the deed on his deathbed in 1993, telling the band’s former road manager Tom Keylock, ‘It was me that did Brian. I just finally snapped’. Frank and other no-good hang-arounds were by Brian to be kicked out of his estate, and therefore Frank drowned Brian.
Yes, Frank Thorogood has been mentioned, though thanks for the reminder. Appreciated. RIP Brian Jones
I would not be surprised if they actually started him on drugs to get rid of him at some point, when they realised how much money they would make now that the group was famous thanks to him.
RIP Brian Jones
They stole his girlfriend,they stole his money,they stole his band then they took his life !!! True story .
RIP Brian Jones
That contractor drowned him! There was no signs of a struggle but, in the shape he was probably in, holding him under by the hair until he drowned wouldn't indicate a struggle because it wouldn't have been one! He killed him!!
RIP Brian Jones 🙏
The music business is a dangerous business.Barracudas at every turn.😜😜😜
You're absolutely right there. RIP Brian Jones
I think someone gave him a drug that made him unconscious. He went into the pool lost control and died. I also think that some band members were jealous of Brian cause he was a very gifted and talented man. He through it all away to drugs just like Elvis did.☹️ To young to die😶. But I guess God wanted Brian.

Brian Jones wasn't able to write songs. Jagger and Richards wrote all the material. They took over. Brian Jones could not cope with these facts. It is as simple as that.
RIP Brian Jones
Couldnt cope with the facts so-------he drown himself lol
Brian killed himself with his own dismal character.
RIP Brian Jones
Jones did not "found" or create the Stones...
He asked Keith if he could join Keith's band and Keith let him in.
Brian was a talentless lazy poser.
*“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.’”* ---Brian Jones.
Jones did not recruit anyone who became a full member of the Rolling Stones with his stupid advert in the Jazz Newspaper.
He wasn't even a founding member of the Blue Boys , the band that changed their name to the Rolling Stones. Keith and Mick founded that band six months before Brian asked to join it.
All that popular mythology written about Brian is a lie.
RIP Brian Jones
Again..they all founded the band. It says it right there in that statement. It does not state that he joined Keith's bands at all. It clearly says an amalgamation. That means a combining.
@@thaismatsumotoHow does one guy who is NOT in a band "amalgamate" with anyone?
It was just Brian, desperate to be in a good band tying to make himself sound more important than he was.
One guy and someone who answered his advert do not make a band...
Sorry you lose. Brian asked to join Keith's band and Keith said yes.
You can't make it something that it was not...and Brian couldn't either.
@williardbillmore5713 Are you that dense? I never said he was in a band at that time. I said it clearly says an amalgamation ,which means combining. So since you Iack reading comprehension, I'll make it simple for you. Brian Jones and Ian Stewart shared a musical interest. They met in 1961 and became buddies.Then Brian placed an ad ,which is how they hooked up with Mick,who was buddies with Keith. That is how they met.And became friends.And then started the band that eventually became the Rolling Stones . The fact that Mick and Keith were in a different band at the time they met is irrelevant. That is a different band,not what became the Rolling Stones. And it was a combining of these various musicians and others ,that became the Rolling Stones.

The name of the band that Brian JOINED was Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys KEITH'S BAND. They did not change their name to the Rollin' Stones until Just before they played at the Marquee Club in Soho in July, two months later.
Brian said in the letter "The band is really an amalgamation of TWO bands." Brian was lying . He had no band . In that context Brian is trying to imply that two bands, one of them "his", combined and that is NOT what happened.
"When Brian went to JOIN the Blue Boys there was only one band involved...KEITH'S BAND that band was "founded " seven months earlier By Keith Mick and Dick
Look, if you love the distinction between amalgamation and joining I will let you have it, but you can not say the Brian founded the Blue Boys. The Blue Boys had been founded the year before and they remained the Blue Boys for another two months after Brian amalgamated with them. Then they became the Rollin Stones.
At least you are not trying to tell me that Brian auditioned a bunch of musicians and chose Mick and Keith because they auditioned for him too. That popular myth is pure fantasy.
Tell me, If you and your friend joined the Army would you say that you formed an amalgamation with the US Military?
Ha ha ha ha ha
👁️ IF THAT’S BRIAN JONES IN THE PICTURE THERE, YOU CAN SEE, WHAT LOOKS TO BE LIKE BRUISING AROUND THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE NECK…..SUGGESTING FOUL PLAY, MOST DEFINITELY👅 R.I.P. OH DEAR FRIEND🩵⚡️🧜🏻♂️
RIP Brian Jones
What about his own Karma?
RIP Brian Jones
I think he was murdered
RIP Brian Jones 🙏
Think he was murdered
I'm not sure we'll ever know the full truth. RIP Brian Jones
Mick and kieth dont want him, keith got his woman, do you think all goes well. Ha ha
Yes, Brian's behaviour also made him an outcast.
@@HistoryandNostalgiaChannelwould u sit idle while ur friend not only steals ur girl, but ur band too?😂😂😂😂
He wasn't 'another' member of the '27 club' - he was the founder member!
Robert Johnson? RIP Brian Jones
@@HistoryandNostalgiaChannel All right then... the second member 🙃🙃
Oops - thanks for the correction.
@@HistoryandNostalgiaChannel Yes..Robert Johnson is the first member of the 27 Club..all tragic young musicians to follow..
Brian was the most expendable member of the Stones. He couldn't sing and he never wrote a single song in the seven years he supposedly "led" the band. He was impossibly difficult to work with, no one who knew him well liked him at all.
He was an abuser of women and a manipulative self centered egomaniac.
He never cared how his drug and alcohol abuse impacted the people he worked with and who loved him.
When his ability to perform, tour and show up at recording sessions eroded due to his self indulgence in powerful psychedelics, pills and alcohol, Jones had written his own ticket to be sacked.
On autopsy his heart was enlarged and swollen and his liver looked like Pate foie gras. He had become increasingly dependent on his inhaler to keep his severe asthma under control.
Had he not drowned in his pool his life was soon to end anyway.
Jones killed himself.
Well put. I tend to agree on most of your points here...
Lol get bent
@@corinnetodd4807 As laughable as it may be, LOL, In the year or two before they fired Jones The other Stones did bend over backwards to give him respect and dignity by crediting him on songs he had absolutely nothing to do with because he was so out of it he couldn't even function as a human being.
Midnight Rambler is a perfect example. Jones was unable to play slide guitar or harmonica or anything else. Mick played all the harmonica as well as the vocal and Keith played at least three guitar tracks on that song.... Brian is credited with "conga drums" on that recording. I defy anyone to demonstrate where there are any conga drums on Midnight Rambler.
@@williardbillmore5713 they had an agenda and he knew it. In the beginning Mick and Keith were turned down once by Brian and they kept after him to be in the band he was forming. Brian was already seasoned they were not. Jagger even copied his dance moves from Brown,there was nothing original and who taught him alot? Yes Kieth was a guitarist but again who opened up techniques to him. Lyrics without great instrumentals are worthless and visa versa. Brian was gifted with instruments of all kinds. He was asked by The Beatles and others to work in sessions long before Jagger was ever asked and it wasn't often. The duo was made to write songs they didn't enter with any.IMO along with other stuff they thought they were gonna fire him and ride on success he started and the name. Brian owned it and they and the suits were going to have to pay and they weren't going to have that.,hence Brian's demise. Musically IMO after 69 they lost my interest and had nothing unique. Not saying they were awful but...
If you dislike him so much what the hell are you here for? What makes you such an expert on all things about him? Put a sock in it Troll.
RIP
Yes, RIP Brian Jones
RIP
😌
@@HistoryandNostalgiaChannel well according to what Bill Wyman said this is what he said he said in the very beginning of the stones career it was really Brian’s Jones band he had everything to do with it he formed the band named the band even decided what members in the band he wanted he wanted them to be a blues cover band he didn’t want them to become hit makers and write there own songs he could play any instrument he even wrote some songs then he stared losing his ownership and became less important as the years went by then he was thrown out of the band then they get Mick Taylor to replace him then a month later he’s dead
