Brian Jones was a flat out genius - and an ‘off the scale’ superb musician who deserves huge respect for what he gave to The Rolling Stones. Thanx Brian. Rx
@Riki Newton
Finally! Kind words about a musician that incorporated the early sound of the Stones.
He founded them
@@AdrianaLaCerva126
Brian "organized, founded, named, choreographed" the band but he lost his way. Very sad ending for an incredible musician.
@@petrslivinski7481 Yes a musical genius imo. He’s the one I had a crush on when I was 8🥰. Yes I’ve been with them since the beginning,old bag that I am. But many didn’t make it this far. So happy I got to experience the experience.
@@AdrianaLaCerva126 Did you get to see any early shows. If so thats monumental
Brian was the original and the BEST.
Thank you so much for sharing! Brian was the most talented. He could play any instrument he picked up! Loved the marimbas on Under My Thumb and the sitar on Paint it Black. And he played the most beautiful slide ever! I’m still I shock they played Hyde Park only three days after his death. Marianne took it the hardest, I believe.
Jones dabbled in many instruments but he really wasn't very good at ANY of them.
Only non-musicians were ever impressed with his very limited abilities.
The world became a much better place when Jones drowned.
It was cause for celebration.
@@williardbillmore5713I don't think any of the Stones were really. They're not a musician's band like say Zeppelin, Purple or Yes but they wrote great songs. As a musician I appreciate Brian's ability and to dismiss his contributions is plain ignorance. He was no better or worse than any other member musically but his legacy lives on.
@@rushshukla4636Talent in a band does not distribute evenly. Brian did not even have a tiny fraction of the genius possessed by Keith and Mick .
Keith and Mick live on as the two geniuses who wrote every part of every original song that Jones ever played on.
There is a quantum difference between creator of great music and a copier of some of their creations.
You are trying to say they are equal.
That just isn't the case.
This is an amazing idea to share Brian Jones' legacy with us from his generation to the new generation ov Stones fans. Keep this idea flowing & keep posting further developments with us. Thanx.
You have to look into connections between Brian Jones, John Lennon, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix -- the four rock visionaries of the 60s
He said once all in 1 sentence. I" ve done all I knew. The future of sines is quiet certain. I " ll take care now on myself "highs" now..... From documentary film I watched. Full of LSD drinks and heroin all in one, it's a nice ride if u like it. Yes I was born when all had happening in 1965. But my father still buying records for his legacy to me. The fact is
Sound of Stones with. Brian VS sound after him are different but still fantastic each in it's genuity pporposion.. that what i understood later after 25 years THE DIFFERENCE than album SOME GIRLS AND MISS YOU START THE STONES TO ROLL OM IN NEXT PERIOD OF TIME TILL FUCKING COVID19. HE REALLY STOPED THE STONES IN TREMEMDEOUS EFFORT GO AND FOT THE. USIC THEY HAVE DONE AND LEFT GOR US, youngers to judge!!! How does it feel to be like a rolling stone??? 🥺🚏🚏🚏🦜🦜🦜👿👿👿🍎🥺
It's nothing, new but, I agree.
Jones was a horrible person with very limited musical abilities.
Rolling Stones, the legend, would not have happened if Brian Jones had not existed. The most underrated musician genius ever existed in the XX century 😢
Jaime Ruiz you are so right ✅ the Stones was Brian Jones creation Andrew Loog Oldham turned it into a Jagger/Richard band to in my opinion to rival the Beatles maybe Jones hit the Drugs at that point but for whatever reason, he was ousted from the band
@@stevebowness9435 a band could only reach a certain amount of success without writing their own songs which is what Brian was not good at and Mick and Keith were great at. Jones felt alienated and Keith taking his girlfriend probably didn't help but Jones was late or missed recording sessions a lot and if he did show up couldn't always perform because of the drugs, this is why he was let go from the band.
@@rrdream2400 he could write but never seeked any credit for it. Its easy for the other band members to talk about a dead man who can't respond with his side of the story. He also probably stopped contributing not only because he was on drugs but he was probably sick of the fact that it was his band and these other dudes were telling him what to do because they wanted to make it big as pop stars and he did not. I'd do the same honestly
@@spunkos5870 I wasn't there so I don't know. It did sound like he was alone in wanting to stay true to being a blues band but his ability to add various instruments to pop songs was sublime. Not just contribute but come up with massive melodic and rhythmic hooks within those songs. But that didn't seem to make him happy. Seeing Mick and Keith pair up to be one of he greatest writing teams ever must have been tough to swallow as well as seeing Keith win over his girlfriend. And I've heard those 2 can be pricks about sharing writing credits. I don't recall him wiring much on his own and t sounded like Brian could be abusive, again, just what I've read. probably some bad stuff on all sides. it's a sad story, brilliant talent and great looking guy.
@@rrdream2400 they were also under contract for a US tour and Brian had broken probation by using drugs after his second bust and was not allowed to leave the country. He also got totally fucked up by acid (ex Syd Barret Peter Green ) it happens.
Thank you Brian - You will never be forgotten as one of the greatest rock musicians from the most exciting time in rock history
15:07 - Keith and Mick knew that they couldn't tour America where all the big money was because of Brian's drug bust. Whatever and whoever's the reason, the Jones Stones catalog is the best! It's more melodic and the lyrics are more intelligent! It signaled the end to mind enhancing drugs like mushrooms, acid, pot and began the use of mind debilitating drugs like heroin. The music reflects that! "Aftermath" and "Buttons" can go up against anything the Beatles ever did! The Stones themselves released an album they called "Sucking in the Seventies". When I listen to the Stones, I pull out "Aftermath" or "Between the Buttons" and I'm in heaven! It's the best music that they ever made!
love you forever Brian, many of us know you were the soul of the Stones
👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏽❣
Jones had no soul.
Brian, the soul of the Rolling Stones
Idk if its only me he reminds me of Dylan sprouse nowadays
You better believe it definitely the soul
@paperlateful
He was the "soul" and the "heart, mind, and legs" of the Stones. RIP Brian Jones. You are sorely missed!
@@petrslivinski7481 Yes to the heart - began the Rolling Stones. As John did the Beatles.
Jones was the window dressing of the Rolling Stones. Jagger is the heart and Richards is the soul of the band.
Jones was an asshole and an egotistical jerk who contributed very little to the Stones success.
The story presented here leaves some important trivia out. If it weren't for Brian Jones and Ian Stewart there would be no Rolling Stones. They were the founding members that placed ads in newspapers for guitarists and singer. And essentially, it was Brian's band. New management in the shape of Andrew Loog Oldham didn't like Ian Stewarts appearance, and banished him to behind-the-scenes-roles and supporting studio musician positions. And Oldham loved Mick and pushed him to the forefront of the band, with Jones just kind of a background player, though he was way more talented than Mick and Keith. I can only guess, but the deep shock of being ousted from his own band was just the last straw leading to his death. Likewise, Ian Stewart stayed in the shadows but remained gainfully employed as a band member till his death.
he did start the band and was a great talent but without great songs, the Rolling Stones go nowhere. Mick and Keith were for more talented as writers, which is the hardest thing to do in music and the reason we are still talking about them.
Lies.
Keith and Mick were founding members of the Rolling Stones too.
08/24/2021 R.I.P. Charlie Watts. Thank you for sharing your musical talent and beautiful personality throughout my life!
His daughter Barbara is a very talented multi-instrumentalist, like Brian. His grandson is the spitting image of himself. So sad that he never knew either of them. Barbara is so much like him... A wildflower... a free spirit... musically talented, but not interested in fame for fame's sake...an off the cuff fashionista. I was inspired to write lyrics to a future song about her and the father she never knew... and shared it with her a yr ago. She is so much like him,,, uncanny...
Really. I never knew he had a daughter nevermind a multiinstumentalist like himself. Has she released anything. I'd love to hear her.
@@dongobeano2750 Brian had kids all over the place, nearly enough to fill a football team.
Dale J4 Does Barbara have any recorded material up on youtube or elswhere. If she is even half as talented as her dad she is extremely talented.
What about Mark?
I’ll always love Brian and feel sad
I wish they would make a movie about Brian Jones. A truthful movie with no BS.
Here the link : ruclips.net/video/iDauQG9M-7s/видео.html
@@ricardoalonzofernandez3662 I don't think we will ever know the truth but that movie looks pretty good.
@@Cissy2cute
Pretty bad.
I feel as they keep rolling or strolling, the past becomes jaded and memories fade the band only remembers the ills of the man. These days he would have gone for a holiday, and then back refreshed
Love the 60's rolling stones..RIP Brian and Charlie.. 💖💖🎉
Yes BRIAN and Charlie RIP wonderful. Amen !!! 🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏
Brian was absolutely brilliant
Brian really pushed for gigs for the band. His heart & soul. I think he’s sometimes still with them.
He's with us and the music....balls to the other contemptuous ones
This is a most gracious & endearing Tribute in Memory of our beloved Founder & once Leader of the Stones. Thank you.
Keith says Brian Jones couldn't write songs? What a crock. Brian finished many otherwise sketchy J-R tunes by adding melodic counterpoint, hooks, riffs, and coloration. The marimbas on "Under My Thumb" is the song's dominant melody over and above Mick;s vocal. Aside from Brian's hypnotic guitar riff on "The Last Time", most of the song lyrics included was lifted from an earlier Staples Singer recording. Brian single-handedly wrote, arranged, and produced the soundtrack for the 1967 film "A Degree of Murder", matching the music to the film scenes. Could Keith have pulled off something like that? And as a songwriter, what would he have come up with on his own without Mick as the primary lyricist? According to Marianne Faithful, who was in the studio at the time, "Ruby Tuesday" was a collaboration between Brian and Keith, Mick was not around at the time, yet it shows up as "Jagger-Richard" on the LP. Most of the early Stones originals were credited to Nanker Phelge, a pseudonym for the group as a whole. When Nanker Phelge no longer showed up after 1965, had the others suddenly lost their creativity, with Mick and Keith picking up the slack? Evidence suggests that manager Andrew Oldham wanted to pitch Jagger-Richards as the Stones' absolute answer to Lennon-McCartney. No other collaboration from group members would be carried forward to songwriting credits, whether it had occurred or not. There's no telling what Brian might have been able to accomplish creatively with a musical collaborator(s) unfettered ny band management and politics. We'll never know, since he passed before he had a chance to do so.
Very true!Apparently he had all kinds of recordings and reels full of music,he was planning to release.He was also in the process of forming a new group of younger musicians.He was going to be moving in the progressive rock area, this is what I've read in different books and stories I've heard.I've also heard that after he died someone or persons stole all of the recordings and music he had in his home!Also Rolling Stones records has control of whatever gets released under his name to this day.They only released an album Brian Jones produced of music from Morocco.Everything else they won't release or they just say that there isn't any more music they have of his!
@Stefanjnj
Keith only knew a few chords to play on the guitar until Brian showed him how the instrument is to be played and the chords to use for each of the songs. Poor Brian must be sobbing from his tower in heaven for regretting placing the "Glimmer Twins" in his band!
@@petrslivinski7481 Eh.....Mick and Keith were prolific in their own right....I will not dismiss them completely...nah.
Gene Clark, early primary songwriter from the byrds, said that he and Brian wrote eight miles high together in a Pittsburgh hotel room. I believe Gene.
Keith un guitarrista mediocre con el ego muy inflamado
The Rolling Jones
Truth!!
RIP Brian Jones 💕 always remembered legend always ❤️
Not many people know that when Brian passed the Stones greived deeply and to this day miss him.Yes Brian was a genius who ooozed talent and a joy to observe in his element. Only one Brian and one Charlie forever
He had very little talent and he was a hanger on
He was NOT a genius and he had very limited talent.
@williardbillmore5713 why do uku say this , I'm curious
Brian and the family Jones. Very talented.
Brian Jones was an underrated Genius and blows everyone else completely out of the water.
Brian, the genius, even if he didn't care about birth control
Sometimes you gotta make a lot of sires of genius.... ;)
Brian will always be my favorite Rolling Stone hands down. They weren't to me the Rolling Stones without him and thank God he wasn't around to witness that Altamont debacle. The mid sixties period of the Rolling Stones is their peek.
The Stones got better, had more and bigger hit records and sold out more venues AFTER Jones was fired from the band.
It was the smartest move they ever made.
This video is extremely well done. Song choices fantastic, guessing 12 downvotes in 6 years are people that can't read. Or possibly clicked on this by mistake while searching for My Little Pony porn.
AN ANOMOLY EVEN TO THIS DAY. BRIAN WAS THE ROLLING STONE.
Brian Jones will never be an unknown to anyone growing up in the 60's. In fact he was as pronounced as Mick Jagger in those days. It took some time to adjust to what happened.
Yep.
Love your captions! Thanks!
These lads are ICONIC ...HAIL THE ROLLING STONES !!
They threw Brian under the bus...But...Yet...Put up with Keith's Junkie ways for many years...Poor Brian...😔🌹😔
Yeah, they didn't deserve him. I've known this since I was in 7th grade, when I read "Up and Down WithThe Rolling Stones" (1976) by Tony Sanchez - that Brian just wasn't the cut-throat businessman type like Mick and Keith grew to be. they ganged up on him and drove him out. Bill and Charlie stood idly by and did nothing as per usual. This is what I think Charlie means on here when he expresses guilt for "...what we did to him...".
Keith wrote the songs. It was Muck and Keith’s band as soon as they write the songs. They are not going to kick themselves out are they 😂😂
@@MrThedonhead You mean they took all the credit. They DID NOT write all of the songs. The line up was always the same except the only change was always guitar players - and with every guitar player their sound changed. Their music got worse and worse as their guitar players got worse and worse. That's how you can tell the huge musical contribution and influence of each guitar player. Also, the variety of instruments found in their music went from several down to your basic 3 because, well, the rest of the stones are basic bitches when it comes to playing multiple instruments unlike true musicians who typically can play a few.
Mick Taylor was young, way more sober, and not emotionally attached to the Stones because he didnt invent them and put in the work to get them started. So he was smart and got out quick when they stole his musical credit.
Ronnie Wood isnt even worth mentioning, neither is anyone else I missed.
Mick and Keith definitely wrote alot of the music and definitely deserve credit. But you can tell they had plotted against him from the beginning. But they were only cutthroat enough to steal the band from Jones when he was deteriorating. They were NEVER cutthroat enough to get their own band started, named, and gigs booked. The Stones without Jones or Mick Taylor have wrote no songs worth mentioning. All their live shows for the last 40 years have been playing their greatest hits which is what includes Jones and Taylor helped make. If the Stones never got any new guitarists and had only stuck with Kieth, their career would have died quicker than Jones after being fired.
I literally wont listen to or watch any Stones performance without Taylor or Jones. It's hard to watch junkie thieves dance around in their 70s playing other people's music from when they were young or alive.
@Dianna Cashion
Definitely put up with Keith's addiction issues and quit touring and recording while Keith was in hospital for rehab. Bill Wyman states this that he had to make money so he started writing songs and recording them to fill the time while Keith was drying up. Support Keith but bury Brian. Absolutely no respect and honor. The Glimmer Twins badmouthed Brian about how difficult he was to work with and how he was just a no good nothing.
Brian was an Asshole and he was my favorite Stone but he did it to himself. Too conceited
From what I understand Jones and Wyman had a lot of collaboration on many songs, I read Taylor quit because he wasn't getting any credit for his input. Mick knew the money was in songwriting, and he wasn't going to share it with anyone besides Keith.
I heard Keith did the same with Ry Coder@Gram Parsons.
Bill Wyman's book "Rolling with the Stones", is an excellent source of the bands' songwriting.
I heard "Only Rock n Roll" was written by Ron Wood before he was in the Stones with other guys in the Faces. I heard Taylor quit because he got hooked on heroin touring with the Stones and was trying to save his life.
@@johnnymurphy7664 yea wild horses was pretty much a Parsons tune.
@@denisbrouillard5443 Contrast Mick and Keith with Jim Morrison.
Jim decided that All four members should get writing credits because ALL FOUR
DOORS contributed to the songs. Even the drummer got an equal share.
This why Jim is so loved and highly regarded to this day.
He was the true Prince of the People. Mick and Keith were great talents no doubt. But, self-indulgent, materialistic, jetsetters that fans can't identify with.
BTW Harrison and Ringo got ten percent of the publishing royalties of the Beatles
Thanks for the post. Didn't know about the American model. My thought is things may well have been so different if Brian was included in the songwriting. He gave so much life to 'Jagger/ Richard' (??) tunes and could have offered more as a strong team member. Perhaps, then the Stones could have effortlessly outclassed many top sixties groups at just about every release. Never hear about Mick or Keith encouraging him to join their song writing team - their loss. One day they'll have to look him in the face. All their wealth, success, glamour etc mightn't mean so much as it was built from Brian's natural flair. Brian RIP❣🙏🏽
Tell us, Philp...
How come the rolling Stones got better and much more successful immediately after they got rid in Jones?
@@williardbillmore5713 Tell me Willard, how come the Stones made some patchy, untogether albums (eg Between the buttons and Satanic majesties request) [all Jagger/Richard songs except 1 of Bill's ]. Sure Brian's musical talent happens on these as well as making Aftermath shine. But is it Brian who's holding them back or is it a general lack of inspired song writing and production ? Andrew Long Oldham weren't much of a producer (BTB) nor Jagger/Richard (SMR). On the other hand Jimmy Miller's production with players like Nicky Hopkins and Bobby Keyes shifts the Stones Lp's way forward. By this time from '68 the songwriting is mote confident and recordings had improved. Food for thought..??
@@philipjones7372 The food for thought is that Keith was liberated by having a truly talented virtuoso guitar player in the studio with him instead of having to cut all the guitar tracks by himself.
Jones had been holding the band back for years.
Willard, I think both sides were holding each other back.
Brian was more into World Music and 'Down home Rock' like Creedence Clearwater Revival' rather than Stones' riff based Hard Rock. Beggars Banquet features little input by Brian. Jagger and Richard were starting to ride an upward wave in their song writing and the Stones were becoming that Rock guitar driven riff band we know. Their previous song writing was very disimilar in general. The 1968 + songs and the Stones themselves could do with a virtuoso guitar player to sound better. Brian's not interested/capable of playing that role or being in the band much after Beggars Banquet. Keith, it should be noted CAN'T play much of that role either to fit these new type of songs.
Interestingly enough, after Mick Taylor (gifted Lead guitarist) leaves, he's replaced by Ronnie (one of their original choices in '69) but who is not a virtuoso but more of a guitar slinging Face but fits the part.
There are liner notes discovered by other musicians pointing to the fact Brian Jones had a lot more involvement in writing the Stone's songs.. Seriously Mick and Keith treated Brian like shit, when it was this gorgeous , talented man who invited them into his band and got the gigs for them. Brian was a musical genius and added amazing textures and colours to what would have been other wise a boring tune.
Did you not watch the beginning? He did not 'invite them to join his band' ! In Brian's own words - " I was waiting for something to happen really. I was trying to get a band going but was unsuccessful until I met Mick & Keith , then.....!!! " Could'nt be clearer! Of course he added his many musical gifts throughout their first few years of success , 62 - 68 . Magically so on some hits.
@@petermills542 Brian chose the other members of the band. That is what Bill Wyman has said.
@@anthonypuccetti8779 He did NOT 'choose' Charlie ! More the other way round in fact.
@@petermills542 Bill said Brian enlisted the other members of the band one by one. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p02vkmwv
@@anthonypuccetti8779 yes
Nice tribute. Anita left Brian for Keith in February 1967 and not March 1968.
Yes, and his decline really began after that point.
Hearing the original bands songs on this video, I see how great they really were. The banns sounds fresh and relevant today.
Of course the colors and unique sounds that fill in the guitars and drums are timeless.
They will be playing this music in 100 years time.
what a voice and incredible talents he had, a true original
Jones was a wannabe He had very little talent.
He couldn't sing at all and he never wrote a song..
WTF are you talking about?
Thank you very much for this!
Brian Jones cool love beautiful ♥️♥️♥️♥️🌸🌸🌸🌸👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️
Three thumbs up here. Very well done.
I always thought that had Brian lived that he might join the Beatles after he left the stones John and Paul liked and respected Brian would have loved the sound he could have added.
Had Brian lived, and managed to pull himself together, I could imagine him having joined one of Clapton’s supergroups, or maybe formed his own band of blues-rock virtuosos - with a nice sideline as one of London’s most sought-after session musicians. The guy could play anything, after all.
Jones made a mistake by teaching Keith to match him seamlessly so that you can't tell who's playing what. I'd love to hear some old Stones songs REMIXED so you can hear Jones. Andrew Oldham loved Mick (literally), hated Jones... so always mixed him down. Jones was the core of the band.
Keith was always ten times the guitarist that Jones could ever hope to be.
Jones was hated by anyone who worked with him. He was an asshole.
Jones played the simplest rhythm guitar chords 99% of the time to songs that Keith and Jagger wrote.
Jones was pretty useless and he was not at all creative.
Baby Boomers of the 1960s all know who Brian Jones was. He was very popular and charismatic. The people who took his place are unknown to that generation other than “the guy who took Brian’s place.”
I'll never forget Independence Day, July 4,1969, and walking into a liquor store and seeing the headline on a newspaper about Brian Jones drowning in his swimming pool the day before.
I was 11 years old and Brian Jones was my favorite Stone!
He was the coolest!
I was deeply shocked! I couldn't believe it.
I wasn't aware Brian was sacked the month before from the Stones.
Later that day I bought the new Rolling Stones' Single "Honky Tonk Woman" which incredibly was released that day, Friday July 4,1969 on London Records.
R.I.P. LEWIS BRIAN HOPKIN JONES
He had a lot of talent, with people as diverse as Ginger Baker and Dr. John (two guys not noted for handing out compliments easily) English pop star Donovan, members of the Beatles, etc. all saying he was a good musician. He was never a virtuoso like a Hendrix or a Clapton, just a very good player for the time (which was a few years before both Jimi and Eric became well known.) He DID put the band together and was considered the leader in their early days according to Bill Wyman, recording engineer Glyn Johns (who didn't even LIKE him) Georgio Gomelsky, the guy who was attempting to help the band before Andrew Oldham and Eric Easton came on the scene, and despite what Keith now says. It was Jones who signed the first management contract with Oldham and Easton, not Jagger or Richards and it wasn't merely because he was a bit older; it was because he was seen as the leader at that time by most accounts. But he dug himself too deep a hole to get out of with all of the unwanted kids and their mothers that he didn't take care of, plus the drink and drugs. IMO opinion Ian Stewart said it best when he said something to the effect that Brian could have been a very superior person, but instead chose to be as stupid as possible. Sad story, both for Jones and for the many people he hurt and let down.
Damn. 6 kids out of wedlock that he never saw.
Sounds like a hip hop artist.
Great mix Rob, like the support of the written info as well. Not everything is 100 percent pure that that's the way legends are born. Isn't it a funny contradiction that Brian was kickend put of the Stones for drugabuse and be confronted with the entire band on heroïne, like a brunch of zombies. Brian showed the way and nobody can take that away. Peace & eternal Love for Brian. God has his soul.
Rarely is Brian Jones skilled Harmonica playing ever mentioned... go back and listen to the Stones early blues and R&B sides Brian had an original and inimitable style of his own reinterpreting those covers as well as Stones originals as to what he added to them his sound was his own he once said "I play the notes that no one hears" well I sure heard them!
Jones had no soul.
He was a horrible person in every way imaginable.
@@williardbillmore5713 i'm sorry to hear that. I never knew Brian personally but , apart from his way with women, I admired him a lot.
@@ricothepuppetmaster Without quoting Paul Trinka's books, in your own words what did you admire about him?
Brian was not kicked out of the Stones for drug use. They all used drugs to some extent. and notably with some moderation. Brian was kicked out of the Stones because he could no longer function as a musician or for that matter, a human being...
Brian was not capable, it seems, of moderation. He had no such filter or control. Everything Brian did was to excess.
Think of it. Brian had it made in the shade. All he had to do was to play easy rhythm guitar for Keith's fantastic hit songs. Show up on time and keep his nose clean and he would have a future as a famous and wealthy popstar for decades to come, living the life of a famous multi millionaire.
But he couldn't do that. He was hell bent of self destruction and the destruction of the band.
He accomplished one and came very close to accomplishing the other.
Brian Jones' greatest enemy in the world was unequivocally Brian Jones.
He was the leader of the band and gave us the greatest rock band in history
uhhhhh...no. Try John Paul George and Ringo but damn close!!!
@@Thejbirdy nah stones blows away the Beatles evertime ,Beatles great song wrighters, the Beatles spend almost there whole career in the studio doing recordings ,great recording band .
Brian....the best stone ever !!!!
He was an extremely talented and versatile musician. But the heart and soul of the Stones have always been Jagger and Richards. Jagger is a great front man and good leader. Richards is a great song writer. Kicking him out of the band was the right decision though. It is a business and his drug use was getting in his way to perform which was hurting the business. It is still very sad that he died so young. Too bad he couldn't pull out of his drug use in time to avoid an early death and have a long and full life.
I don't think 'kicking Brian out' was the best thing to do though, Had they given Brian a period of time of time to sort himself out, then he could've joined back in
@@lilmissrockchick4962 I think your point is a good one and I do agree with you on second thought. It certainly would have been more humane. I don't know if giving him a period of time to straighten out would have made a difference but it was worth a try. After all, he did start the Stones and he was their first manager. There should have been a bit more loyalty and compassion.
Good documentary. Thank you.
Someone once said the difference between the beatles and the rolling stones, is that the Beatles really loved one another.
Harrisson said there was nothing wrong with Brian that a little love couldn't have fixed

"When this you see
remember me
and bear me in your mind
Let all the world say what they may
speak of me as you find" - Brian Jones
f marz Now that's proper English, so nice to hear it again
Well-done, excellent video!
Brian's ability to play multiple instruments was what made the Stones sound in the mid 60s, experimenting with psychedelics and instruments. Just listen to tracks like 2000 Light Years from Home and Brian Jones playing the moog synth on that track is what made it whole. Keith's guitar riff was awesome but they needed Brian for all those other instruments. Imagine Under My Thumb without the marimba. It's impossible even though they did it live in the 70s without the marimba. Lady Jane with Brian on dulcimer. The list goes on. It sucks he died, in my opinion murdered. But, the Stones Golden Age came right after with the brilliant Mick Taylor on lead guitar. With all due respect to Brian, he was an incredible musician playing any instrument handed to him, he was a jack of all instruments but a master of none. Taylor was a master of guitar. His soul remained with the band. R.I.P Brian Jones and I hope you and recently deceased Charlie Watts are together, forever remaining in The Greatest Rock & Roll band the World will ever know.
I like to thanks Mr Robert Gray for this wonderful witning-tribute to Dear Brian J.
For me, the Stones lost their incantation without Brian. Good music, sure, but withou magic. With Brian, the music lost much of his sense. This is why we all cry, even today, his death.
Brian was so cool back then, loved his hair.
Brian Jones fue el músico más completo. De los drones dominaba varios instrumentos
"childhood friend Keith Richards". How in the fuck could they have been childhood friends when Brian grew up in a middle-class family in Cheltenham while Richards was a lower class, scruffy kid from Dartford. The second Rolling Stone was Ian Stewart whom Brian had worked with before and when one views pics of him from the early 60's, one sees he wasn't a bad looking cat at all. Yes, he did possess a prominent chin and did not wear his hair long but he was an excellent keyboardist, an integral part of a genuine R&B sound. Brian hired Richards but he certainly did not want two Dartford cunts in his group. Brian had worked with vocalist and harp player Paul Pond. At that time Pond considered R&B a hobby and therefore declined to join. Later, now using the name Paul Jones, he became the lead singer for Manfred Mann. Compare the work of the two vocalists on the early releases and here for one's self why Brian wanted Pond. Keep in mind that Brian had sussed out the secrets of playing the blues harp and shared them with Jagger. When Brian hired Jagger, he also signed "Brian" to his own death warrant.
Then along comes management. Well not really since the bi-sexual Andrew Loog Oldham was too fuckin' young to sign a contract which is where Eric Easton enters stage right. Horny little Andrew was actually a publicist. By allowing him on board, Brian signed "Jones" to his own death warrant since little Andrew was pining for a piece of Jagger's tight little ass. On top of all of this, somehow little Andrew also produced every Stones LP up to "TSMR" when they finally fired his ass. Not before however he kept much of Brian's guitar work buried deep in the mono mix. ("Satisfaction" being a perfect example)
Little Andrew never gave a rat's ass about the music. If he had, why did he bury a single note from his one musical genius. And the first thing he ever did was fire Ian Stewart as opposed to convincing him to let his hair grow long. Hell, the Stones were lucky that Stu continued to record with them. Stu just did not fit with little Andrew's vision of The Stones. He was out to make them the antitheses of The Beatles, the bad boys of rock. And he was out to make his wanna be lover the star of the show. One has to admit that little Andrew pretty much accomplished what he wanted. Don't know if he ever even got a thank-you blowjob from Jagger though. He certainly heavily contributed to the demise of THE Rolling Stone. Well, guess that's why they call it show-biz, a very cruel dog-eat-dog world. No Jones, No Stones.
Some of the best observations made. You have summarized the story excellently. Thank you.
@@Cissy2cute no mention of.Brian rebuffing Oldham's advances?
@@annmcdonald6180 Oldham had no interest in Brian, and in fact was dead set from the start to push him to the side. It was Mick that floated his boat. There's a pic somewhere of ALO taking in Mick's butt as he walked past. I should have saved it because now I don't know where it is. Oldham was dead set from day one of minimalizing Brian and eventually pushing him off the stage altogether. Obviously Brian was not attractive to guys in that way, or else Oldham would have kept him around more.
@@Cissy2cute Brian said on Mike Douglas when he asked who was more popular with the girls that Mick was more popular with the guys!
Excellent observations mark. Summarized perfectly. It's been said that Brian could be quite nasty, but I'm sure being edged out of his own band had much to do with that. The rise and fall of the stones, had everything to do with the rise and fall of Brian Jones!
Richards and jagger dident have the courtesy to even go to his funeral?..he began that band,,,seems those two had the drive and will to push it further...easy to say they should hve helped jones more,,,but being young..and tied up in their own shit,,,Richards more so...maybe saying it was easier then doing,,,,,jones packed more into those band and even younger years then most of us could in a lifetime...its a shame his lifetime lasted only till 27...yet here we are 2016 still talking ..so his star shines bright..R.I.P.

@@jamesharan8225 they had him murdered
@@aryalogo6624 Rubbish his gardener made a death bad confession of doing so & they made a move called Stoned based on the book where that is noted as a FACT!
@@dimethaltryptamine1 It's not a fact. It only came out after Thorogood's death. Members of his family were at hospital every hour of his last days and told anyone who asked that he never said anything of the sort.
No one had anything to do with his death. He used to get fainting spells by that time-he was very ill-and he may have had one at the edge of the pool No bruises to indicate a fight. People love conspiracy theories.
Please don't believe anything shown in these ridiculous movies. They're for entertainment and little else.
@@Cissy2cute I read Richards' first word on hearing of Brian's death was "finally!". I'm biding my time. It won't be long.
Que Buena esta original con Brian Jones formación, la clásica, para mi la preferida, cantando satisfaction, la canción más conocida de ellos de1966.
1965
Brian Jones el mayor genio de los Rolling Stones y maximo instrumentista del rock en general. Se dice que llegó a dominar 42 instrumentos y que en una semana dominaba uno. Increíble este gran músico y fundador de la banda más grande de rock del planeta y de todos los tiempos, lastima de las malditas drogas.
The Rolling Stones would never have existed if it wasn't for Brian Jones. He learned how to play the blues authentically, he chose the band members, and the name of the band, rehearsed and whipped them into shape, secured them gigs/bookings, he was the player manager but the others were more than a little pissed off when Brian was taking a bigger share of the gig money even though he was doing all the organising. I suppose Jaggers greed and lust for megalomania had kicked in early. I don't believe that Jagger or Richards would have ever got a foot in the door of the music buisness if it were not for Brian Jones tutoring them. The media and the Police had it in for Brian he had got busted for a small amount of drugs but more importantly Brian was a huge influence on the youth of Great Britain the cops were only too willing to teach him whowas really in charge. I think that the drug raids/surveillance paranoia etc took its toll on a fragile Brian. When he died of course the cops would write it off as a dumb out of control drug addict rock star fell into his swimming pool and drowned, case closed. His death was never forensically examined to determin the real cause. Poor Brian I know that his band mates have gone on to say he liked to beat up women and he had problems, but I like to remember the one off musical maestro that he was. Maybe had he lived he might have got to sort out his problems.
Fuck all this shit! Brian was an ashole who liked to beat his girlfriends and a guy who once became a star forgot any other interests than chicks and dope
@@sobrevalorado
Stop it dummy. You didn't know him.
The founder member of the Rolling Stones Brian Jones 😎
BRIAN Wonderful!!!! 💔🌷💔🌷💔🌷💔🌷
Thank you for your information
Got to see all these guys at the Long Beach arena their 1st us tour it was a life changer~*
And btw Brian was my fav 🖤
Congrats Rea, bless the survivor,
Brian could play a harmonica like a saxophone. And was proficient on every other instrument he decided to play .
Brian Jones was a real Rolling Stone. He lived the life .
Ask his children if they thought he was great.
@williardbillmore5713 I would be interested to hear their remarks ; as , if I remember
correctly he had five
" illegitimate " children .
He played all the awsome licks and different instruments in the early Rolling Stones
Brian, peace, brother and be happy wherever you decided to be reborn. Thanks for the great times .
Die frühen waren die besten ! Danke Brian Jones
Well everyone is sad Brian died so young. He was a great musician, perhaps there would be no Stones without him. He also had a weakness, was human. He was no saint. Let's not exaggerate about him. The Stones were great with him and continued to be great after.
There is no "perhaps." There would be NO Rolling Stones AT ALL without him. He created it and hired the members. If it weren't for him, the others would live in obscurity.
@@ValleyoftheRogue Pretty sure, eh? Perhaps you're right.
They also left out the part where Keith walked in on Jones beating the shit out of Anita, hence Keith took care of her and left Brian but aight
I like how they ask if he's an original member - he's literally the leader and founder.
He just find a name, Jagger, Richard and Dick Taylor played already together before meeting Brian. Listen "Little blue boy and the blue boys" on youtube, it's clear.
@@Methilde Sure - the others guys had played together, but the whole idea of forming a gritty, blues band in London named the "Rolling Stones" was completeley Brian's idea.
In my view, that's enough to call him the founder. It's more then Lennon did - and yet he's commonly known as the founder and leader of his respective band (The Beatles)
@@fshoaps You forget that Lennon composed too. As a band you need first a good repertoty.
@@Methilde That would be a good point - if Keith and Mick wrote music in the beginning. While with The Beatles Paul and John had a naturally occurring creative alliance and partnership, Keith and Mick only founded their creative collaboration to please record executive and to emulate the genius of, John and Paul further.
@@fshoaps The Stones begin to have a real success when they recorded their own songs, and explosed with Satisfaction. Just my point of view.
Brian Jones is simply the BEST !!!
Excellent...-:))
Brian Jones really created the Rolling Stones -- i.e. without Brian Jones, there would have been no Rolling Stones. He basically taught Jagger and Richards what it was they were going to be doing and, certainly, without him the Stones' music would never have evolved into the sound and style that would define them. Despite his terrible problems (not much worse than Richards'), they never gave him his due. Mick Taylor was a great guitarist (and a great bluesman) but never a real replacement for Brian Jones. Truth is, the Stones never found a real replacement. They became more "polished" performers but after Jones' death they went into decline creatively.
Absolutely right!!!
they have changed, it is not the decline
Jones was great but they in actuality peaked just after he left. They put out ‘Let it Bleed’, ‘Sticky Fingers’, and ‘Exile On Main St’ with Mick Taylor on lead. Jagger/Richards were the primary songwriters, and whilst Brian led them initially and added the extra touch in his time, Jagger/Richards defined the sound of The Stones being that they were the principle songwriters. There is no denying that those tracks with Jones were awesome and had a vital energy to them.
After Brian’s death they definitely lost their ability of having a multi-instrumentalist as a band member. That fact provided them with someone who contributed immensely to their musical diversity in those early years that was really never achieved by the addition of Mick Taylor ( who was a brilliant guitarist - but no Brian Jones )
@@MichaelCorleone654 Jagger/Richards (the Glimmer Twins) might have been the song writers but in the studio is was a five man band to put each track together. A huge lot of input/suggestion being done by Wyman and Jones. Read BW's 'Stone Alone' and he pulls no punches on the Glimmer's hierarchy back then...
13:50___ Keef totally on smack :-) I remember these days of summer 69, cause in my neighbourhood, 1 was just 10 years old, a band was training every week and the boys have been totally down, Stones albums have been laying around on the floor, Stones sound in the air, a lot of beer was around. From this time on, the Rolling Stones have been my band till today and now I am myself a old fan, my god..time waits for no man...god will speed Brian and the Stones on and on ...
Brian Jones was The Rolling Stones!
John Robel He should’ve been the front man! 😂❤️
Brian Jones! They stole his band and turned drugs to fill the hole in his heart ❤. RIP 🙏
BRIAN JONES это Генератор идей Rolling Stones,самый лучший!!!
Да
Brian Jones. Fué generador de ideas en cuanto arreglos musicales. Saludos! desde México 🇲🇽🇲🇽
Such an eloquent speaker . Whose way of talking was later copied by Jagger & Richards , middle class boys themselves who still acted the somewhat cockney louts ."Ready Steady Go ", pressed by Andrew Oldham not to let The Pretty Things perform out of fear they might steal The Stones' "bad boy" thunder .
Ofcourse he wasn't "murdered"......Most likely a case of misadventure and a swimming pool spiel that went out of hand . Brian himself was to blame for getting cosy with these builder louts , who weren't payed on time by Jones' incompetent handlers who didn't serve him well and should've kept these louts away from him. A very sad and unnecessary ending .
Aside fr "SATISFACTION", love the song "TIME IS ON MY SIDE"! beautiful composition :)
Wow he sired 6 kids and never knew any of them, a signature of his generation.
On the other hand, at least he had kids which is more than many today can say.
At least he didn't go around and sire kids into his seventies like Jagger. Brian had an excuse because he died young. What is Mick's?
Ahahaha six?
DOGS SIRED 6 KIDS INSTEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER EVER WAY TO THE EXTREME IMPOSSIBLE BRIAN JONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER EVER WAY TO THE EXTREME IMPOSSIBLE HIS INSTEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE NOT HIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IS NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S A LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're very welcome!
Very moving from Mick at the end. Brian and Charlie both now gone ❤ 💐
Der Herr Jones war ja in vielfacher Hinsicht sehr produktiv!
A great lesson for anyone starting a career in whatever activity: Define your objectives and fulfill them no matter alone or as part of a team. In the case of Brian Jones: Do you want to be a rock band leader or an accomplished musician and blues purist? You can't be both, and hadn't the wisdom of realize about that, cost this young man his life.
One can be both, and he was. Don't kid yourself otherwise. Andrew Loog Oldham is the person chiefly responsible for marginalizing Brian.
Nice video.
was hoping to see/hear more music while brian was with HIS group. unfortunately, the bbc at that time was keen on miming.
Frere anak tom There is nothing new under the sun concerning this video. Most, if not all the footage was taken from the 1989 Rolling Stone bio pic 25 x 5.
10:43 - The two drugs that he supposedly got addicted to have no pharmacological addictive properties! It is possible to become psychologically addicted to anything but LSD in particular has no effect on a user when taken more than once or twice a week! Many a traveler thought they could extend their trip only to find that they might as well have taken a glass of water as another "hit". I crack up everytime I see that Michele Phillips video where she says that they took LSD every day! She's confused LSD with Heroin. Not exactly the same trip!
I would disagree to an extent. It becomes less effective the more it’s taken but the user would generally become very, very strange.
I tried 3 days apart once. Waste of good L. Nothing. 1/week, max. Better 1/2 weeks. Not that I ever had a constant supply. Normal was several months apart, so never any worries about dependence. Only got the breaks in intense work business that often to use it in a leisurely way, which is the ONLY way it's really enjoyable. Whatever you are consumed by at the moment, you'll only become more consumed, so best make it something enjoyable.
Very true from one who tried,
Brian Jones fundador de los the Rolling Stones
Mi amor eterno 🥺💙💙💙💙💙💙

22/1/23/!!!!!
Brian was my favorite, I guess he was the cutest to me when I was a teenager, He loved rock'n roll and the blues, from what I read about him he could pick up any instrument and in time play it, quite talented he was! Sorry he had to die so young! From what I read he was no angel, kinda looked like one though! But know ones perfect! He had style and talent, I had read George Harrison liked him very much, he said he needed love, don't we all! I would have loved to have met him! Brian Jones, you were talented and special and had your own style! I miss you, but if anyone would be playing the blues in heaven it surely would be you! Love wendy
Brian is more popular now than ever.
Brian Jones was the Stones.
Does anybody know the name of the woman in the white sunglasses as they disembark the airplane in the beginning of the clip? Is she somebody's early girlfriend?
A very cool man a pioneer of rock and roll and a victim of the excesses
OMG!!!!!!
Otro tema clásico time on my side
When Jones left the Stones they just weren’t the Stones anymore. Actually didn’t like the band anymore.
