Brian JONES: MiCK & KEiTH Were Writing SH*T Song..!

The Rolling Stones
Brian Jones, the enigmatic founder of The Rolling Stones, versus Mick Jagger, the swaggering frontman whose vocal cords were a loaded revolver. The battleground: not the stage, but the sacred space of songwriting. Brian Jones, the musician who couldn't write the song, may not have penned the hits, but his story is a haunting melody - a ballad of unfulfilled talent, of whispered regrets, and of the bittersweet beauty of a soul forever lost in the echoes of what could have been.
Zouzou, a French enigma. No ordinary girlfriend, she was a whirlwind herself - a singer, model, and free spirit who embodied the era's bohemian spirit. Her real name was Danièle Ciarlet, but Zouzou, chosen by the Parisian magazine "Paris Match", fit her perfectly. With her gamine haircut, infectious laugh, and a gaze that held both mischief and melancholy, she captivated Brian. The enigmatic Zouzou fades back into the tapestry of the sixties, leaving behind a whisper of what could have been, a testament to the fleeting beauty of love and the enduring power of music. And Brian Jones, the Rolling Stone with wings, continues to soar in the hearts of fans, his music echoing with the faintest trace of a French muse.
Brian Jones, the enigmatic founder of The Rolling Stones, was a man of contradictions. A musical innovator with a restless spirit, he possessed a soulful gaze that whispered ancient secrets and a smile that could charm the birds from the trees. But lurking beneath the veneer of stardust, a darkness resided - a thirst that clawed at his insides, forever seeking solace in the amber embrace of alcohol. But even within the darkness, flickers of brilliance remained. His mastery of instruments, his unorthodox arrangements, continued to push the boundaries of rock. He became a reluctant muse, inspiring his bandmates while slowly becoming lost in the fumes of self-destruction.

I will say, I do think Mick and Keith were wrong to just declare Brian or Bill "couldn't write good songs." As though every song the Twins wrote were gold? No. By all accounts, Brian was their George Martin, he helped make their songs hits. He and Bill had the right to demand more of a creative outlet in the group.

"Jones was perhaps more of a Rolling Stone than any of the others. What the Stones as a group sang about, what Jagger and Richard wrote about, Jones did, and he did it right out in public, and he got caught, and he looked the part. He wasn’t acting out the Stones’ music, he just happened to be the Stones’ music."--Rolling Stone magazine, 1969

[@robertstubbs8062]

I think that it is inherent in most bands that there is an element of that sort of behaviour. In my experience, there is always someone who thinks he's superior than anyone else. Even if that's the case, everyone has there part to contribute and very often have other skills to offer. You should in fact, all work together for the good of the band. As a matter of fact, Brian Jones was extremely talented, he became more and more frustrated at being edged out and ignored. Some of which he brought on himself through his own behaviour. I remember and have supported the Stones right from the beginning. Every member of the band, past and present, has greatly contributed to it's phenomenal success. Even with the very sad episode with Brian.

[@thaismatsumoto]

..as a backup vocalist ,maybe.His voice certainly wasn't lead singer quality.And when he drank too much and used too many drugs, then he really couldn't sing or really play that well. And near the end he didn't put any real effort into contributing much to the band. I've always wondered why he didnt even try to write his own stuff on the side and put those ideas in a notebook.,regardless of who were the songwriters for the group. He had almost nine years to do something... Sad ,really.

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

@@thaismatsumoto I think Brian was a fragile person who was very insecure and afraid of rejection. To write songs means having to be open to criticism and exposing oneself. He wasn't comfortable with that. But some of that insecurity can probably be traced to how Andrew created the power structure of the band. Brian was subsided early for Mick and Keith’s writing talents when it should have been more inclusive. He was more or less usurped from his own band. I would probably be a little insecure and secretly jealous, as well. Brian gave a lot of Mick/Keith ditties texture, and while that might not attain authorship, many of the songs would not be the same without Brian’s contribution.

At 14:12 the interviewer asks Bill , "You mentioned he did something with Jimi Hendrix...Some playing... yeah",Bill looks surprised and embarrassed and he giggles... "No one knows that" Bill then looks off camera probably to the director and laughs some more.. then he asks." what do I say? The reason Bill looks and sounds embarrassed and flummoxed is that what is referred to here is when Jones crashed Jimi's recording session of All Along the Watchtower, drunk out of his mind and tripping on acid and he insisted on playing some of the worst piano accompaniment ever recorded... out of key and clumsily off tempo. This almost caused Jimi to quit the session and give up when, horrible take after horrible take, each one was worse than the one before it. Thankfully Brian was ushered into the control room and he passed out on the floor so Jimi could finish one of the most successful and iconic covers of his career. Bill's embarrassed laughter showed this had him confused because the interview was supposed to be a positive one about Jones. It cracks me up that they left this in the edit. This is where some Jones worshiper is supposed to chime in and talk about the wonderful vibraslap that Brian hit in the intro made the song so great. Ha ha ha ha ha How pathetically embarrassing.

[@biancabeavis7198]

No matter the PR smear campaign, the carefully selected quotes from people that probably had an axe to grind, the responses that may have been forced by the manager, the thing that Brian’s adversaries will never be able to hide is that you can HEAR Brian’s influence in the music and it’s absence when it’s gone. Lyrically and musically the work of a higher mind. His home studio was stripped bare by Rolling Stones management during his funeral of which Mick and Keith did not attend. Why would anyone’s ex *employers* have any right to their ex *employee*’s PRIVATE property? Only his parents had right to his property. Where did Brian’s home recordings go? On the next few albums - ‘Sticky Fingers’? What a joke. Team Brian forever. The world was robbed by his death.

[@groovermctoober4508]

Mick and Keith were never on the same songwriting level as John and Paul--or even ABBA's Björn and Benny. While there are exceptions, e.g., 'Backstreet Girl,' nearly all of their songs are just based on Keith's riffs. Even a song like 'Angie' just monotonously repeats itself throughout. And lyrics have never been their strong point, either. The Beatles far outshine them in that department. Of course, the songs work, they're enjoyable to listen to and they get you stomping your feet, but from a purely compositional standpoint, they're not very sophisticated. Just ask any music teacher or serious musician.

Mick Jagger of the Blue Boys singing lead, Keith Richards of the Blue Boys playing lead guitar, Dick Taylor of the Blue Boys playing bass guitar and Tony Chapman of the Blue Boys playing drums. They also were joined on stage with two new guys who had recently joined their band just before they changed their name to the Rollin Stones, pianist, Ian Stewart and occasional guitarist Brian Jones.
