Brian jones rare interview 1965

via KZbin Capture

[@TheaterPup]

He reminds me a lot of George Harrison, when he started getting dissatisfied with the Beatles. George had this to say about Brian: "When I met him I liked him quite a lot. He was a good fellow, you know. I got to know him very well, I think, and I felt very close to him; you know how it is with some people, you feel for them, feel near to them. He was born on February 28, 1943 and I was born on February 25, 1943, and he was with Mick and Keith and I was with John and Paul in the groups, so there was a sort of understanding between the two of us. The positions were similar, and I often seemed to meet him in his times of trouble. There was nothing the matter with him that a little extra love wouldn't have cured. I don't think he had enough love or understanding. He was very nice and sincere and sensitive, and we must remember him like that because that's what he was."

[@sexobscura]

It is interesting that George said that of Brian, but Brian was the man who started and named the band, whereas George was simply a member of The Beatles. George was a wonderfully gifted musician, but those similarities he points out do have their limits and must be viewed with sober judgement

@@nanny287 George was a very kind and pleasant soul. As a malignant narcissist and psychopath Brian could, at first, seem to be polite and pleasant especially with people who could be of some benefit to him. If they had gotten to know each other better after the poison in Brian's rancorous personality came out with familiarity, even George would have turned against him. No one who knew Brian well ever had a nice thing to say about Brian. He was a truly awful person who seemed to enjoy aggressively putting people he knew down and making them feel bad. There was nothing nice about Brian. at all. BTW Brian couldn't sing.

I listened to this interview whilst sitting on a bench opposite Brian's grave. A very quaint and beautiful cemetery. I hear in his voice a feeling of deep melancholy, not easy to describe. He was a very bright, intellectual, interesting, and enigmatic man who seemed to fade away as the 60's progressed. Nonetheless, his flame still burns brightly in this new technological age.

@@mythywmyth Brian was a heartthrob for teenie bopping girls. He was the window dressing and the garnish for the band...Keith and Jagger were, and remain, the meat and potatoes and the heart and soul of the Stones. Jones lucked out. All he wanted to do was to be in a blues only band at some local clubs in London, because he had learned to play some slide guitar and harmonica. He figured that was an obtainable goal. If he could sing, things may have turned out differently for him...But as it was he found himself among two hard working and brilliant song writing geniuses who elevated his sorry ass to fame, fortune and the attention his ego craved. He knew he liked it, but at the same time he knew he had very little to do with it. He was along for the ride until his unabated self indulgences made him completely useless. I wouldn't consider Jim and Brian as being in the same league as far as tallent goes. As I have already said the biggest things they had in common were drugs, booze and self destruction. Maybe Jim had an affinity for Jones because he knew he was doomed to the same fate.

What a wonderful voice Brian had, I could listen to it for hours. There's an interview with his father on KZbin and he could have made audio story books with his voice, its obviously a family thing! Unfortunately Brian didn't have the brashness to be a rockstar, he was a musician since childhood with the character to match. That said it's well documented about his 'move on' attitude to his ex girlfriends and many children. I read an account by a childhood babysitter who said that as a young boy Brian insisted on showing her a photo of his first sister who died at aged 2, he wanted to make sure the babysitter knew about this sister. He didn't like that there were no photos of her and no talking about her and he insisted that people acknowledged her existence. In a lot of ways he was a sensitive soul.

And you don't seem familiar with how human relationships work in general. We all have people who think badly of us. And we all have people who think well of us. If you watch that 2020 documentary, Jones had many loved ones, men and women, who wanted to set the record straight in a positive way. To dismiss them because it goes against your narrative is ridiculous. You also don't seem to understand the psychology of drug addiction and how it affects a person.

Had Mick and Keith kept to Brian's vision for the band no one would have ever heard of them. Including you. The pure blues craze died out in the London scene after about a year or so and it was replaced by the Brit's craving for Rock and Roll with a blues influence. Keith and Mick had an amazing Knack for writing that kind of pop hit record after pop hit record one after another almost without fail. They would have had to be insane not to take advantage of their situation... Brian loved the wealth, fame and attention being in a hit band brought to him, but he realized it was not by any of his own doing. So he turned to drugs and booze to mask his failings to his own enormous ego. Once on his self destructive, downward slide into drugs and booze addiction Jones became even more useless. Keith and Mick never looked back and Bill and Charlie went along for the ride of their life.

i noticed lots of the people in this comment section are most likely grown adults, or elders who grew up with the rolling stones. i'm only a teenager, and Brian was dead long before i was even thought of. i got into the rolling stones (and the rest of my music taste like 60s, 80s, etc) through Bill Wyman on a top of the pops episode, and through him, i found the rolling stones. i had heard of them before through my parents, but never had gotten into them. however, it was just in august last year, i started listening to them and i really enjoyed under my thumb. then, i got into more of their music in various albums like let it bleed. i discovered gimme shelter and i absolutely love that song, i listen to it on full volume every day. i believe the 60s was the stones best era, and wanna know why? because Brian was still there. if i could bring someone back from the dead, it would be Brian Jones. no jones, no stones. he was absolutely beautiful, and his role in the band is so overlooked by many, he was the life and soul of the band, its just such a shame he had to die. if he was still here today, he'd be able to see the amount of people that love him. after all, he created the band. without him, the stones would've never existed, so the only reason that Mick and Keith are up there today is because of Brian. he was the one that started the band, and he will never be forgotten.

Tyx for sharing!... Brian definitely seems sad. Hope he’s happier at peace! ❤️from🇺🇸🙏☮️

[@blipblip88]

I'll give him credit for his appreciation of various international instruments and incorporating them into modern western pop music.

[@TitanicConcerts]

Stones ca. 65 had such a different vibe than the lips/tongue circus act we’ve been stuck with since the 70s. Brian was special. He was sensitive, fragile, and had a real darkness about him. His contributions in the studio were almost always amazing, even near the end when he seemed to be barely conscious. It’s unfortunate he never got his act together. I think he could have found artistic fulfillment outside of the Stones. He was a big star, a legend in his own time. People would have taken a chance on him. There was an audience waiting for him to do something great. Just wasn’t meant to be.

I just read in Wikipedia that he should have received a song writing credit for Under My Thumb. Keith had three chords. Brian turned it into a hit. Yet another song he was cheated out of a song writing credit. Take Brian off of Aftermath and you take the Stones off of the charts and out of the picture. Without Brian they would never have kept up with the Beatles, Who and Kinks.

[@trabongo]

For me, the Brian's era was the best period of the RStones. The most interessant.... But, according to the other Stones, Brian turned out a very dificult person... so, it seams that if he stayed in the group, eventualy the Stones will splitted at the same time as the Beatles. I think we must also give the credits for the ones who carried the band, who keeped the union, who really was ready to labour.

[@ovalvox7888]

@@trabongo The Stones would have never split up. They just fired him and moved on. Barely! Keith’s own drug problems almost cost the Stones but fortunately Keith overcame his addiction eventually. The Brian era is my favorite too. The Taylor era right behind it. The Wood era not even close.

@@ovalvox7888 For me .... Brian Jones, was a great artist and musician, and of corse the man was a legend. Taylor was the best guitarrist of the Stones (It's Only Rock n Roll, LP, what a record....).

[@pandereta4]

Many analytical comments here, about his talent and fragility. He actually had a strong, domineering personality. I've met many of his generation, from Cheltenham, his hometown. That's why I've written this. His mother despaired of him; and his father disowned him. In today's society, he may even have been jailed; for his youthful transgressions. However; He was a superb musician; and incredibly articulate, with a top-notch IQ.

[@TheaterPup]

People can be both. And his father did not disown him, that's an exaggeration.

this guy was a completely normal, bright student according to those who taught him. Then, something happened to unhinge him. He became obsessed with Amercican, Jazz music, and bohemian carefree lifestyle, starting a band he never imagined would be a success. He brought together two extremely ambitious harding working young men who jelled and grew more confident of their talents. TELEVISION And RADIO were the catalysts which brought them fame and fortune. Simple as that. The rest is history.

Historical Fact of note; On March 24th, 1962, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards performed their first paid gig when they appeared as Little Boy Blue & the Blue Boys at The Ealing Club in Ealing, England....The band the Blue Boys had their second paying gig at the Marquee Club in Soho on July 12th that same year where they filled in for Blues Incorporated who were making an appearance on the BBC. Blue Boys vocalist, Mick Jagger sang lead, Blue Boys guitarist and back up vocalist, Keith Richards played the main guitar, Blue Boys bassist and back up vocalist, Dick Taylor played bass guitar and Blue Boys drummer, Tony Chapman played the drums. For this second paying gig the Blue Boys were performing under a new name,The Rollin Stones and they introduced two new members of the band that Keith, Mick and Dick had founded the year before, pianist Ian Stewart and occasional guitarist, Brian Jones.
