Brian’s always been my favorite member of the Stones. He was easily the most musically talented and stylish of the group and he’s always been a big source of inspiration to me as a musician. Brian would’ve been 81 today. Happy heavenly birthday Brian, wherever you are!
Brian Jones was magic ✨ 💫❤️❤️
He's in a clinic in heaven, the same places that he was on this earth!!
Brian Jones era will always be the real Rolling Stones for me. His involvement led to a uniqueness and personal style in their music which set them apart from the other bands that were around that period. You can really get a taste of his soul with every instrument he played. He will forever be an enigma to the musical world.
Rishav Siddhanta Excellent description. I agree.
April Garcia Thanks!

Agreed 100 %
agreed !!!
I saw the Stones twice in the 60's with Brian. He was the most talented and colorful figure in the band, no question. He inspired me to take up other instruments, and be able to contribute different sounds on certain songs, and his contributions to early Stones recordings show this. His downfall was his inability to handle fame, and sadly it led to self-abuse, & an untimely death.
Actually he handled fame well. That's just a rumor Michael Jagger spread for getting him out of the band and taking over it. This video above is just a mixture of half truth and half something else.
There were some major problems that led to his demise. I don't care what his personality traits were. To me he is what made the Stones my favorite band of all time !!!!!!!
@@rscott2247 YOU just make a great comment!!! Thank you.. Brian's name will be always the top!!! Respect to the genius musician!!!!
He was murdered
I've always felt so sorry for Brian, his mental health was extremely fragile. A genius musician who doesn't get the credit he deserves. That mess with Anita ruined him.
I agree! I think she was his downfall in every way and Keith was no friend !
@@catlover4700 he beat anita, I am a fan of his music, and A big stones fan, but let's not make excuses for what he did.
@@kwd-kwd...agree.And he wasn't faithful to her either .Or anyone else.He slept with some of the other member girlfriends too. He fathered at least five children with different women or girls.And dumped every one of them.Even before there even was The Rolling Stones. A As far as the drugs,.that I would agree she wasn't good for him. Or Keith that matter.
I know we like our rock stars wild, but Brian is one of the stories where I always ended up really wishing they understood mental health better in 60s.
Brian wasn't mentally ill, but had situational depression. He didn't stand up well to ridicule and it niggled at him badly, eroding his confidence. There were a number of factors pressuring him to the point of self-medication not to mention that it was becoming hip to be stoned in those days. He also sought and received psychiatric therapy, but internittantly , because of such a heavy schedule. After leaving the band he was improving, and maybe getting a chance to start maturing finally. His musical intuition never faded.
Brian was my favorite in the stones he was multi talented truly the heart & soul. RIP Brian you will never be forgotten !
It is often forgotten that Brian was an early champion of Jimi Hendrix, and used
his influence to ensure Jimi got a record contract.
Jimi never forgot Brian's kindness, and when he fell on hard times Jimi made
sure that Brian was put up in various hotels and rooms.
& threw hiw out of the 'all along the watchtower' sessions
Both died in the 27 club.
Awesome fact I did not know. Thank you Rob Jones.
@@nihilistlivesmatter Not true. Brian plays on All Along the Watchtower on percussion, the CLACKS in the intro and throughout the song are Brian on an instrument called a vibraslap. He came to two sessions, he recorded the percussion part. The next session he showed up drunk and played piano badly, and it wasn't used.
I did not know this.
The Brian Jones era is my favorite time of the Stones music. The slightly poppy, British mod scene, pre psychedelic sound of She's A Rainbow, Under My Thumb, Complicated, Dandelion, the list goes on and on. Jones multi instruments was a hugely indispensible contributing factor.
Paint It Black. Masterpiece.
Better than anything Beatles ever did
Brian Jones formed, named, chose the musicians, got the gigs and was the leader of the Rolling Stones aside from being a multi-instrumentalist and co-writer of some of the best songs of the stones and was kicked out of the band, Richards even pulled a knife on him. Today the formation of the Rolling Stones is credited to Jagger and Richards on a plaque at a train station where Jagger and Richards first met. Bill Wymon even came out and said it was wrong of the city of London to have attributed the formation of the Stones to Jagger and Richards.
I heard the plaque was not put up because of Bill Wyman speaking out.
Exactly which songs did Brian 'co-write' ?
I agree, the mick and keith thing was ego driven and seems to be proven to be pricks, Brians demise seems to be dfrom Lack Off..lack off everything from his former roommates and close friends., It was a engieenered (sic) take over.
Bullshit, Brian had every opportunity to be as important to the band as Mick & Keith, but he never wrote anything of value, preferring instead to let Mick & Keith do all the heavy lifting & get high instead.
Mick & Keith deserve a medal for carrying him for so many years, Brian's demise was self inflicted & self engineered
so glad you were there to know
50 years ago today :'(
RIP Brian.
I was seven years old and backstage at the TAMI Show, and for a very brief moment, I was handed Brian Jones's White Vox teardrop by HIM, and I played a few chords on it. One of the highlights of my musical life !!!
I was at thst T.A.M.I show and one in Hollywood. What a cool memory; you had such a unique experience!!
Santa Monica civic
Hey Steve! This is Brian Stiles. Wonder if you remember me. I lived 2 houses away from you at 15515. I remember what a big Stones fan you were. You had their 12 x 5 album. What a trip seeing your comment. I didn't remember that you went to the TAMI show, I've watched it many times but to have actually seen it live is incredible. Your dad took my autograph book to the show and got all of the Stones to sign it for me. Didn't a couple of them come to your house to see some of your dad's guns? Anyway I wish you well and continued success with your band.
@@brianstiles345 would like to chat with you Brian, my email is bluesbossman@yahoo shoot me an email so I can chat with you sometime soon, more later, steve
MY SISTER IS THAT GORGEOUS BLONDE, SHE WAS SCOUTED BY BILL WYMAN AND WENT BACKSTAGE AND GOT TO MEET UP WITH THEM, KEITH INVITED HER TO HANG OUT AND SHE SHOWED KEITH THE SANTA MONICA BOARDWALK AND SMOKED SOME GRASS IN THE SAND DUNES AND GOT ROMANTICAL WITH KEITH BUT IT WAS ONLY A 1 NIGHT STAND AND A PUPPY LOVE THAT DIDNT REALLY BLOOM THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO. TO THIS DAY MY OLDER SISTER CLINGS TO THAT MEMORY.
And the rest of The Rolling Stones lived to 108 years of age.
Half MT LITERALLY LMAO
But Charlie Watts lived to 118 !
@@David-xi7jj nah charlie watts was at 118 a long time ago

Hahahaha, close!
The 60s Stones were the best and I've liked all their songs from that era. Thank You for making this video man.
Nathaniel Bates #ctid blue moon rising 😉
Na, they were at their best at the 70'.
@@malzzzzification25 No, they really weren't. Mick Taylor was there only a couple of years and had to get the hell out. He couldn't carry the band forever. He was also very young, just 20, when he signed up with the Stones. Taylor, as talented a guitarist as he was and is, was not a visionary musician like Brian. Brian was way ahead of his time and was always experimenting with music. Taylor didn't have that ability; he is first and foremost a guitarist. Taylor, though, could not take being in the band for long. He reportedly didn't get along with Keith Richards, and then there were the drugs. Taylor got out of there to save his life. Taylor never met Jones, but he is on the record for saying he has a great deal of respect for him.
Stones were hell alot better than those Beatles. Beatles couldn't play rock n roll like Stones.
Yes. Agree. Still glad the Stones are with us and are still rocking but in my very humble opinion I still preferred their earlier work. Cheers!😉
For me his contribution to ' No Expectations' is one of his best works.
Brian Jones is the epitome of a rock star.
KEITH RICHARDS is the epitome of Rock N'Roll as well.
@@Paul_G73 True... unlike Cliff Richard who isn't.
@@michaelmouse4024 lol
@@michaelmouse4024 CLIFF RICHARD DID THE BRITISH INVASION BEFORE BEATLES LOL
My favorite Brian Jones contribution to a Stones song is the lead guitar riff of The Last Time, the way it sounds very distant and has a slight delay effect has always been very powerful to me. Such a shame Brian died so young as we'll never truly known his full talents as a song writer.
M1Garandstudios no
Nice call!#!!!
yeah it's a shame they kicked out their founding member and founding manager
Agree 100%. In my opinion, his riff on The Last Time is the best. It used to be my ring tone.
That riff makes the song - he really should have received a writing credit.
'Ruby Tuesday' with Jones' piano and recorder playing is my favorite. From what I've read, Jones' was playing some old English song on the piano which inspired it. He originally made the song for recorder and it morphed into the song we all know and love with Keith Richards' input. To me the Jones Stones will always be my favorite because while inspired by blues artists these English song writers always had that indelible old English influence mixed with the soulful blues sound that's a special mix and made the rock and roll that was so untouchable during the late 60s into the 70's. All of my favorite bands are from Britain.
I love Brian Jones' contribution to Under My Thumb. He gives it a totally unique feel.
Brian gave a unique feel to just about every track that he played on!
Just a contribution, no more.
The totality of the marimba part he played was an exact copying of Bill Wyman's bass line from the intro. He played it over and over again without variation. Jones was not at all talented or creative.
@@williardbillmore5713 Bill was alway really creative and i miss him even if Darryl is cool.
@@Methilde Bill was cool . I am a bass player myself and I always found Bills playing a little sparse for my taste, but what he did play was spot on and what was needed.
An example;
When Jones copied Bills lines on marimba in Under My Thumb, Bill had the instinct to make his part contrast more by adding the fuzz bass lines to the chorus letting Brian's marimba function as the bass line he had been playing. The fuzz bass played more off the vocal...
It really made the song come alive
Brian Jones lay the foundation that made the Rolling Stones what they are today. RIP Brian, we love you man.
Brian obviously had musical training. His melodic contributions to the early Stones were immense. After he left Stones morphed into a guitar lick hook band. No better. No worse. Just different. The good they die young. At a concert in 66 I watched and listened as Brian Jones played the mountain dulcimer and gave "Lady Jane" a distinct English flair. I will always be a huge Brian Jones fan. RIP Brian.
What an ignorant misinformed & just plain wrong comment, blindingly obvious you haven't actually listened to any Stones albums post Jones
ALberto Martinez Mr.Jones wrote a sound tract for a movie before he was murdered
They were guitar lick hook band with him - Satisfaction, 19th Nervous Breakdown, The Last Time.
Jones didn't have musical training. Apart from the recorder at school. He could play repetitive riffs on a lot of things
that doesn't make him a multi instrumentalist though does it? He played vibes did he? No! He played a repetitive pattern on a set of vibes, in a studio. This is 1000 miles away from being a Vibes player! Milt Jackson is a Vibes player! Ditto Keyboards!
I'm glad I got to see Brian in '66 at Glasgow Odeon,I always remember he wore a black and maroon vertical striped velvet jacket at that gig.
Brian was talented
and gifted.
He played more instraments then anyone. some I never even heard of.
He actually played 28 different instruments.. he was a fascinating and mysterious highly talented individual..you can't mention the stones without mentioning BRIAN JONES... RIP..
Brian was also a detriment to the band and a rotten human being
@simon templer My remark is fact. Yours is hypothetical nonsense. it has nothing to do with the tread. BTW, do you have blond bangs?
@@tonymikolich5873 My remark is fact. Yours is hypothetical nonsense. it has nothing to do with the tread. BTW, do you have blond bangs?
Based on his autobiography, Bill Wyman (the other outsider in the band) had his back.
Jimmy Tee Rex Mr Wyman Bio exposed a lot from his viewpoint . Thank you Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts for being his friend
@@davidhelling5968
I heard that Charlie Watts was with Jagger and Richards that visit to Jones' house to sack him.
@@petrslivinski7481 That is correct at cotchford farm.
@@petrslivinski7481 Yes. In an interview he said he went reluctantly, and more of a mediator if things turned nasty. _Luckily it didn't and I wasn't needed. I always regretted what we did to him._ Charlie Watts. 👍
@@kazabushy
Whaaaat???
He always brought colour to the Stones.
Some of his Mellotron work sounds like no other
Often it was just droning background noise that had to be mixed out.
@@williardbillmore5713 So would you the amount of drugs/booze he was on.
Brian Jones played the guitar, mandolin, other stringed instruments, keyboards, flute (the recorder), and so on.
Brian Jones played the guitar, mandolin, other stringed instruments, keyboards, flute (the recorder), and so on.
@@iadorenewyork1 Yes he dabbled with many instruments... He was master of none of them.
I agree with so many others here, I really dug your biographical videos. Brian Jones, to me, was the early Stones. Their sound changed so much after he left. They say Brian was so intelligent that he could pick up any instrument and get the basics of it and play some notes in about ten minutes.
Earhead Six He was gifted. Pretty amazing.
I think you will find that Brian wrote "Hear It", which you can hear on youtube, but it is only instrumental. The vid is unfair to Keith. He fancied Anita but was not inclined to take Brian's girlfriend in the manner suggested. Brian threw a metal platter of sandwiches at Anita and broke her front tooth or teeth. I was there, but I saw only the aftermath, not the event, and it was a lifetime ago so my memory is hazy but not as hazy as Brian's would have been had he survived as he was stuffed with barbiturates or Mandrax. But losing Anita to Keith contributed to his sense of isolation and, ultimately, to his demise. He was not unfairly treated. By the late 60s a lot of his guitar work on recordings was actually overdubbed by Keith. Andrew Oldham "sacked" him more than once for turning up at recordings while unfit to play, but relented. His inability to get a work permit to tour the U.S.A. because of his drug convictions was the last straw.
more like ten seconds.
@@daviemcf I have heard that he picked up the technique on the marimba and the hammered dulcimer in less than a week....try that on for size some time. When you think that Skip Spence recorded "Oar" and was (I believe)the first rock musician to do an album where he wrote all the songs and played all the instruments AND produced the record, you have to wonder what a guy like Brian would have done.
@@caribman10 Zaza RUclips greed I want to take you higher
The coolest Stone! Period.
You only just became curious about Jones? He's been a legend for decades. The definitive book about him is Paul Trynka's 2014 "Brian Jones and the Making of The Stones." He was the founder and definer of their sound until manager Oldham, Mick and Keith ganged up on him (he did write songs, but they were all shouted down and mocked). That and getting harassed by the UK cops - you left out that he was planted and busted seven times within the course of a year - sent him into a drug spiral from which he never recovered.
yes..great book
This kind of material is really valuable as to keep Brian Jones and his memory alive. It would be extremely sad and unfair seeing his legacy get lost into oblivion. It is also important to remember his contributions to music, which weren't limited to his work with the Stones, but also included the Soundtrack for the movie A Degree of Murder (that he wrote, performed and produced), as well as the album "Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka" which constitutes a pioneer approach on World Music. He was not only a great musician, but a true artist.
LasLupin: He doesnt play on the Joujouka album and much of 'A Degree Of Murder' is of no consequence. Even though Jimmy Page was also at the sessions.
It's far from disappearing! Everyday more and more people are aware of his true importance and that he was the heart and soul of the original Rolling Stones!
rockitMiC: No he wasn't. He was full of himself. It all went sour for him because he couldn't write! He got jealous. That was his problem. By Satanic Majesties he was fucked. Apart from the slide on 'No Expectations' he's not really on Beggars Banquet at all! Look at the state of him on Rock And Roll Circus! He became a liability. That's the reality!
LasLupin: For a start the stuff I've heard from 'A Degree Of Murder' is dross despite Jimmy Page's involvement! The Joujouka album has nothing to do with Jones.He produced it! He didn't play on it! That makes him a pioneer in your eyes does it?
Ah Ah ! A Brian Jones HATER!!!!! Cretin!
Absolutely loved this! Brian Jones has always been my favourite Stones member. Personally I tend to listen to their work while Jones was still a member.
Thanks for the video
Cheers
So do I.
World party
Oops wrong buttonn
my favorite stones era
Amazing with Brian Jones but do like work with Mick Taylor and Ronnie Wood.
I always loved and will always love "no expectations" the last song brian contributed to, its a gorgious track because of the slide work
He does a sweet version of it on the rock and roll circus
he also played on midnight rambler and another song on let it bleed.
@@joedesiderio5085 Correct, No Expectations was his last contribution on a guitar.
My all time favorite Stones song is "I am Waiting" with Brian on dulcimer. Absolutely amazing!
"No Expectations" is unbelievably dope and a neglected gem on Beggars' Banquet. It's incredible how its vulnerability follows the powerful "Sympathy for the Devil."
My favourite multi-instrumentalist.
Ned D. S
Agree there he was a genius, certainly isn't Paul McCartney ...Brian was much more favorite multi-instrumentalist to music fans.
Outstanding the best short documentary on Brian Jones I've seen. I'm a big Stone fan and an even bigger Jones fan. Keep doing this.
When Jones, Jagger and Richards were living in that run-down, "bomb-damaged" flat, they had a fourth roommate, a fellow named James Phelge. In 1998 Phelge published a book called "Nankering with the Rolling Stones," a fabulous insider account of the Stone's early days, when the guys were just starting to cut their first singles. The book is very well written, informative, and often hilarious, one of my favorite books about rock n' roll.
thank you for doing the most tasteful and correct biography of brians life,no matter his demons brian brought us all joy,may he be remembered fondly and with reverence befitting his abilities...
Excellent. Brian Jones is hands down one of the greatest musicians in rock music...RIP
Nonsense he's not even in the top 100, maybe you should do some serious deep researching and understanding how the world really works (music world as well)
explain, nihlistlived.......
@Graham, I don't respond to orders especially not abrupt & nonsensical ones, ask me properly & politely & I might huomour you.
NIHILISTLIVESMATTER please do take the time to explain
NIHILISTLIVESMATTER He would definitely be in the top 100 best instrumentalists in rock history. Maybe not compared to jazz musicians, but he had a unique gift of being able to play almost every instrument just fine.
I'll always love Paint it Black, that's probably my fav song that he was a part of
Me too. It's actually one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs with Brian Jones in it.
Much love and respect for Brian Jones. My favorite contributions are the hauntingly beautiful slide on "No Expectations" and the dulcimer on "Lady Jane"..... He could literally play anything and somehow make it work in a rock/blues band
His life became a Shakespearean Tragedy with the drugs and alcohol, may he rest in peace as one of the most influential musicians.
His slide on No Expectations on Banquet breaks my heart..
I was 12 years old when the stones came out and for some reason Brian Jones just kind of stuck out from the rest of them something unique about him that was intriguing even to this day I still see a Brian Jones mixed in there with the rest of the the group I guess it's more in spirit than anything else rest in peace Brian you'll always be the number one stone to me!!!!!
I was at the Stones concert at Hyde Park, great days .
We had a secretary who was at Altamont. She said it was just an awesome day! They set up their picnic blankets on the hillside and didn't see any of the shenanigans in front of the stage.
It's sad that we need a RUclips asking, "Who is Brian Jones"
Yes, however, take into account that people today don't know who he is. That was a long time ago. The Stones haven't been musically significant for a long time. He was the man though.🎸🎶
May be because many of the viewers of this video are too young to remember him...just my humble opinion...
@@buffstavofring2755 actually, you make a good point. I posted that from my point of view as a 62 year old who had grown up knowing who he was.
I, actually, think is cool and important for the newer generations to know the geniuses and innovators of popular music.
@@mirabellestarr7679 I think we need it at all. I watched with interest and yes this dramatic American great TV presenter got some facts right !
There really is something strange about age 27. My 27th year was my worst mentally and emotionally. If anybody is going through age 27 hang in there.
Bob Nelson COMPLETELY AGREE. It was the hardest year ever...
Odd that is.
Great I turn 27 in November 🙄
But Brian was murdered.
Mine was 25.
Gene Clark of The Birds said that Brian wrote " Eight Miles High " but Brian did not want any credit for writing the song.
Honey Lambb Yeah and that was a good song.
Honey Lambb Wow. Jones was one unusual dude.
Honey Lambb Thats correct! And it’s on RUclips. Gene says they both wrote it in a Pittsburgh hotel in 1965. There you go!!
That was really well done and a great production. I love the vintage footage as well. Sad life for Brian Jones. A real tragedy for a gifted artist who gave the world a lot.
Favourite Brian Jones's song: No Expectations
You should run this video by Stash Klossowski. He was Brian Jones's best friend, and an eyewitness for much of the history.
He created The Stones..legend...sad departure:(
love you brian
I'm so glad that you made this video Geek! Brian really deserves a lot more recognition than he has gotten for his contributions to music. I too often find myself wondering what he could have achieved had he not died so young.
Loved his recorder on Ruby Tuesday
Seems like it was way easier to find band mates back then
maybe a result of drastic change in how we socialize??
Not true at all, you're looking at the history of a SUCCESFUL band, a lot of luck is involved, including finding the right band with thr right members.
Not at all, way easier now with all the resources at hand. These guys were kids; they met at school, college or the local youth clubs/student pubs. It’s easy to look at a band that eventually became famous and go “wow what a coincidence Lennon and McCartney met at a party” but it underwrites the amount of work people put into crafting their bands’ image and sound, writing all those songs and playing all those gigs before they got famous. There was no magic.
it was magic . what came out of it was magical
Bannana Peel .......yes it was. I think the point was, in order to achieve this “magic”, these young men worked tirelessly for a very long time, playing sleazy bars etc., honing their craft. It didn’t come via a magic-wand as such.
I can't narrow down one song but I love his work on Lady Jane, Under My Thumb, and Ruby Tuesday. I saw something recently on TV with Keith and Mick and they were talking about the history of the Stones, and they barely mentioned Brian Jones.
This was one of my favorite Rolling Stones!
I remember when he died.
So very sad.
DUde, his guitar is so good if you just listen to it.
All the colours of the Stones... sitar Paint It Black... recorder Ruby Tuesday... dulcimer Lady Jane... mellotron "We Love You"...
That boss Vox 12 string guitar, marimba, harmonica, sitar......every non-standard instrument on an early Stones album.
loved his riff on "the last time" and slide guitar on "No expectations"If he hadn't died I'm sure Brian would have eventually formed an amazing blues band.@@caribman10

My favorite Brian Jones contribution to Stones music is the slide guitar on “No Expectations”
I really like how you do your videos. I’ve always been intrigued by Brian and no one has ever really done a video on who he was and you nailed it in this!
He mastered the skills in every instrument faster than any other musician. Got bored about guitar even before the sucess came,passing to harmonica,in sequels. Was a gift and a curse..
I just watched an interview video from Bill Wyman in 1990. It's here on youtube. Halfway through the video, Brian Jones is brought up. I imagine Brian is brought up a lot.
So, I was very surprised to hear what Bill Wyman brought up. Very very surprised. Brian had an illegitimate daughter from another woman who approached Bill to ask him what is was like to be around Brian.
This daughter (don't know her name. she was probably kept confidential) explains she suffers from epileptic fits. Her doctor/g.p/physician or whatever explained to her that her kind of mental condition is almost always hereditary. Nothing on this girls mums side at all.
When this daughter explains the symptoms to Bill, he can recall very similar symptoms of Brian having sudden blackouts. Sometimes he would just pass out. Brians girlfriend in Morocco would simply place Brian on a mattress just thinking he needed to sleep it off.
So, basically, Brian most likely had undiagnosed seizures or something similar to mild epilepsy. This could also be a theory on him suddenly drowning in the pool.
Who was Brian Jones, well plain and simple, the real genius behind the Rolling Stones!
Amen!
Certainly was but all geniuses in the greatest band of all time The Rolling Stones.

Thank you so much for this video! I feel that there is not much attention given to Brian Jones and his story. Jones is my favourite member of the band and honestly I never cared much for anything that The Rolling Stones did after his death ( but thats just me). Thank you for recommendations as well.
I keep focusing on those puffy, swollen eyes Brian always seemed to have from childhood onward. It was said that he was a strong man, and perhaps he was. But those eyes tell me that there was something else going on health wise in his system, long before he bombed himself with all the drugs and alky. Poor guy.....27 is just way too young to say adios to this life.
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO, IT IS IRONIC THAT THE GUY WHO STARTED THE ROLLING STONES WAS FIRED.. MAY HE REST IN PEACE. THE STORY HAS IT, THAT HE BECAME TO LOADED TO PLAY, MICK AND KEITH , AND OTHERS SHOULD HAVE HAD THE LOVING ABILITY TO GET HIM SOME HELP, AND CARE ABOUT THIER BROTHER IN MUSIC , BUT NO THEY KICKED HIM TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHAT A SHAME, BRIAN WAS MY FAVORITE GUITAR PLAYER WHEN I WAS 15 YEARS OLD, HE HAD SO MUCH FLAVOR, IT JUST COUGHT MY EAR,AND MADE IT DANCE, COUSIN FIGEL
They treated him very bad and Mick and Keith did not go to his funeral, I guess shame kept them home that day.
Nah that was their final way of disrespect. They know what they did.
Wayne Daly Your right. Every interview they lament they wished they did it different.
Mick was away recording the Ned Kelly movie at the time if I’m not mistaken. and Keith has always said he doesn’t like the idea of funerals and saw the Hyde park concert as their final goodbye to Brian.
The Ned Kelly shoot started on the 12 of July, and if Mick went to Oz early how did he do the Hyde Park show, im no expert so you might be right.
Wayne Daly I may also be wrong because I’m getting these dates from the internet, but the Hyde park concert was on the 5th of July and Brian’s funeral was on the 10th. That leaves 5 days for mick to leave the country and prepare for the film.
I think of "Under My Thumb" when I think of Brian. He was playing the marimba.
Brian Jones very talented 💖
10:18 The connection between Brian Jones and Jimi Hendrix: In All Along The Watchtower, it’s Brian Jones who came up with and performed that percussion “THUMP” at the end of each measure in the intro. I can’t remember the instrument name, but Jones brought it in.
i think its a vibraslap
As we all know without Brian there would be no "Rolling Stones" as we know them. I have always been amazed at the various instruments Brian would incorporate in Stones music. You hear the unique sounds in Stones material during Brians tenure with the band. Brian was a true innovator and a master musician. RIP Mr. Jones.
Loved Brian's slide on "No expectations". Great posting.
Brian was brilliant and helped take the band to, or almost to, the level of The Beatles. Mick Taylor helped take the band to the stratosphere. Brian is still missed.
brian the legend of stones🔥
I love the Stones’ song “No Expectations”. As mentioned by Keith in the Crossfire Hurricane, Brian played slide guitar on the track. It’s stunning and I would recommend anyone to give it a listen. It really shows Brian’s musicianship.
Comin now.....Jones was an absolutely genius as he played over 20 instruments including, piano, sax, dulcimer,sitar, french horn, harpsichord and he also taught Jagger to play harmonica. No way could Jagger and Richards allow this multi -talented , master of style and booking agent...to take the spotlight off of their nasty selves. Jagger and Richards Jealousy !!
What a fantastic review Vinyl Rewind! I love all your reviews but in my humble opinion this one is by far your best!
You dealt with Brians life and demons with compassion and tact, I applaud you sir!
This is a very warm and much deserved tribute - well done.
Nice job Eric. This was really well planned out and I enjoyed it. The editing probably took forever.

Dude this video was so cool. Please keep making more of these, I love it
Incredible job with this. The host really brought things home and I appreciate the passion given to this. Do more of these!
The band should have given him a chance to recover. They could've went on tour without kicking him out of the band
Gone
Recovering was something he wasn't doing. He was his own worst enemy, drugs cost him his life. Much as I liked Brian Jones. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards did the right thing.
@@Paul_G73 they did the right thing by turning their backs on him, while stealing his style?! How do you figure?
@@jsmith469 They did the right thing because his drug problems were his own demise.
@@jsmith469 Stealing his style ? Much as he was a musical talent, he was declining for few years, it was his own insecurities often overshadowed that talent. Plus Mick and Keith were the real songwriters of this band, not Brian Jones. He pissed people off easy and wasn't pleasant, even Charlie Watts mentioned it on 25x5 documentary.
This is a well done video! Thank you for this.
I really enjoyed this biographical episode and I hope you consider doing more of these type of videos. Learning the history of the bands we enjoy to this day really adds to the overall music experience.
This was really good, very thorough . The only thing that wasn't mentioned that surprised me was Brian being at the Monterey Pop Festival, & him even introducing Jimi Hendrix there......
I worked at Melody Maker then in Fleet St at IPC, the Stones came in for an interview, only one did not make it and that was Brian, this was 1963-4. There was always a sadness surrounding that great musician.
Loved this video. I'm just getting into the Stones and learning about Brian Jones has really been enlightening. I hope you do more of these kinds of mini biography videos on other amazing artists. It would be interesting to see you do one on the members of the 27 club.
Beautiful sympathetic tribute of a complicated man. Good work sir.
Awesome musician Brian jones
Excellent narrative and content
RIP Brian.
When you here a Stones song from the sixties on which Brian payed all those different instruments its gives those songs a fantastic sound so Brians riffs are just as good and memorable as any musicians riffs from the sixties
I still like the Rolling Stones Brian Jones Years 1963-1968 the best of the Stones!
Outstanding content and presentation. Very informative, as it is apparent a significant amount of research was conducted. Well done.
Brian Jones IS The Rolling Stones! He was the original band leader, he named the group and he was by far the best musician... Without Jones the band softened up and became more Pop Rock...
No it didn't there best albums came out after him he was amazing but your discrediting alot of there work sticky fingers, exile on main Street etc
@@quieteron1516 100% true.
Hardly...Before and after Jones left the band the genius of the Jagger / Richards songwriting team are what made the band popular and famous. Jones contributed very little to their sound or catalog of hit after hit.
In fact. Jones never wrote a single song for the Rolling Stones... Not one.
He never seemed to even have microphone on stage and I have never seen him sing a backup or harmony
@@williardbillmore5713 Brian Jones was the creator and musical genius of the Rolling Stones. He was the only one in the group who could write really complex music. Many of his tunes have been appropriated by Mick and Keith. After they ordered Brian's assassination, the Rolling Stones ran out. John Lennon said the same.
@@debessar95 You are quite insane if you believe anything you just wrote, Debessar. There is no evidence that anything you said is even remotely true.
Excellent narration and editing of this video, man!
Absolutely. More of this stuff please!
Eric, this is a well thought out and designed tribute to Brian Jones. Great job Sir!
Excellently presented piece. Intelligently, and respectfully done. It’s All Over Now, and The Last Time are my Brian Jones favorites.
