[@crimsonwolf9099]

Brian formed the band, named the band, got them their gigs and contributed as much or more than Jagger/Richards to their music. Jones taught Jagger harmonica and Richards blues guitar! From the choice of early cover music to terrific harmonica solos & slide guitar work to SIGNATURE RIFFS and arrangements of so-called "Jagger/Richard" songs... Jones' contributions to the success and importance of the band was immense! After he was kicked out the Stones became a different band. Bill Wyman said very positive things about Jones as did many many others. He was flawed, like everyone, but a huge important part of the band in EVERY WAY. Allegedly manager Andrew Oldham pushed the Jagger/Richards thing to the forefront sidelining Brian. His immense compositional contributions were minimized. As it got worse Jones didn't feel part of the band that he started. It wasn't his drug use that was the real problem, they ALL were drug users, it was that Jones was barred from entry into the US, because of a pot bust, so he couldn't tour there. The band wanted to tour. So Jones was ousted. Reportedly he was also secretly afflicted with epilepsy and that created mood swings and problematic behavior too. As stated in this clip, there was more that they could have done for him. They didn't.

Patton was demoted to private with no chance to move up in rank, do you think he'd have stayed in the Army? No, he'd have quit and joined another branch of the armed forces. That may be an extreme example and Brian didn't handle his demotion very professionally but he couldn't thrive under the thumb of someone else's leadership.

Like a family member, or someone in your group of very close friends? Step that up a notch and say that person is also one of your business partners. It's chaos. A band is a business and writing music & touring are their commodities. I'm sure they tried to help him. But something we've found out since the late 60's is that you can't force a drug addict to go clean, they have to want it bad enough. Unfortunately, some people never get to that stage and the drugs get them before they kick the drugs out of their life.

Still very heartbreaking after all these years, without a doubt brian was definitely the biggest influence on the Stones never ending journey.

[@atomiclobotomy944]

"Influence" is not the right word. Brian Jones was the genius and musical visionary who CREATED the Rolling Stones -- i.e. he created them from scratch. He recruited Jagger and Richards into the band he was forming and he got them to do the music in the style that he wanted them to do it. He taught Keith Richards, a young kid still wet behind the ears, how to play guitar. And he taught Jagger the essence of cool. They were both adept students, but (like many students) at certain point they began to resent the Master.

[@aprilgarcia2161]

Yeah at first they admired Brian. Then later because of jealousy and greed, they conspired to steal the band. THEY fired the FOUNDER?! They knew if Brian had sued that they had everything to lose. I wouldn't be surprised if Mick & Keith paid someone to kill Brian.

Brian Jones formed the RollingStones back in 1962, he chose Mick Jagger , Keith because they were at Alexis Korner's blues club hanging out and listening to Brian play slide guitar to Dust my broom and other delta blues tunes. Charlie Watts was there at the Ealing club as a drummer. Then Brian put an ad in a Jazz local newspaper for a bass player and along comes Bill Wyman who was a little older than the others and had served in the Koren war in the late 50's early 60's, was already in a band and owned 2 amps , plus lots of ciggs , was too cool , he was in immediately!! In the very beginning Brian, Keith & Mick shared a flat at 102 Edith Grove Ave., they did alot of their jamming and their flat - mate James Flegh whom their group compositions were named after partly under a pseudonymn - Nanker Plegh, excuse typo on James's last name! Most of these friends have written books about the Stones if you care to google to obtain more info.. Brian was the group's manager , the title belonged to him, their interim manager after this was Georgeo Glomelsky owner of the Crawdaddy club in the Station hotel in Richmond.. Brian was light years ahead of the other bandmates because of his early musical training , both his parents Lewis and Louisa Jones were very musical having met in a Welsh methodist church, both boasted an impressive musical aptitude.. Louisa was an accomplished pianist, who taught piano lessons in their home. Brian was taught piano by his mom, they encouraged him to excell , having bought him a clarinette, plus a guitar in his very early teens..

Keith resentful that Anita Pallenberg never got over Brian after they kicked Brian out Mick in particular tracked Brian's activities as Bill mentioned it was really uncertain as to whether or not the Rolling Stones could go on without Brian he was the most popular stone in Germany and Scandinavia curiously Steve Marriott considered by M&K as a replacement for Brian once Marriot started to sing at his audition it ended abruptly as fate would have it Marriott had been considering Brian to be in Humble Pie IMO that was too much for the Dimmer Twins to handle Humble Pie with Brian could easily have outshined the Stones and usher in Brian's return to the blues and R& B Alexis had told Brian that ship had sailed too late to go back to the roots of the Stones music Steve Marriott himself uttered the words Brian considered for Humble Pie was in play before he was murdered (Steve's words) I believe the Rolling Stones and Keith were concerned about competing with Brian in another band Brian was good friends with Steve winwood Brian turned Steve winwood on to his first acid trip could you imagine Brian in Traffic? I certainly can also rumored was Jimi Hendrix John Lennon Brian Jones in a super group if Mick and Keith weren't responsible certainly others in their circle and various sycophants might have plotted against Brian for certain Allen Klein could not be trusted considering Sam Cooke was murdered on his watch and I have also wondered if Brian Jones had secretly copyrighted the Rolling Stones name apparently Keith pulled a knife on Brian when they sacked him what could possibly provoke that?

Brian avez en lui quelque chose de très special, je pense, quelque chose de fort. Je coïncide dans le fait qu'il savait ce qu'il faisat et à quel moment il devrait intervenir, de quelle façon, dans la création.

I will always love the the stones when Brian was in the group the best songs made from 1963 to 1969 Brian was multi talented all his contributions made a difference Brian was the heart and soul of the stones!

[@williardbillmore5713]

Brian brought NOTHING to the table. He had no talent.

[@waltsudol7198]

That's your opinion sorry I don't agree

[@williardbillmore5713]

@@waltsudol7198 Jones could not write. he could not sing and he could not dance. Everything he played was under the close direction of The musical composer Keith Richards. most of the accompaniments Jones played on novel instruments were copied either from the sung melody or other instruments in the arrangement. Brian's musical abilities were very limited and his creative input was absolutely non existent. These are observations from the recordings not just opinions.

[@tnimbus]

Said it before - without Jones Jagger would be a retired accountant in Surrey now and Richards would be a fork-lift truck driver in Dartford playing in pub bands on a Saturday night

[@aprilgarcia2161]

tnimbus Absolutely! It was the luckiest day of their lives when they met Brian Jones.

[@boyta23]

Don’t show your lack of knowledge, if Brian Jones had remained with the band The Rolling Stones would have never reached the heights they did, Jagger and Richards were and are the Stones, written 500 or more songs that are still played today at their concerts which are sold out in hours worldwide. Brian Jones apart from being a great musician was also a serious addict and that is what caused him to leave The Rolling Stones not Micks jealousy

[@tnimbus]

'lack of knowledge'? I've followed the Stones for over 45 years. 'the heights they did'? The Stones are little more than a tribute band now and have done nothing original since the seventies. Jones was never an addict although of course the Kent Forklift truck driver was. What caused him to leave was that he wanted to be blues musician and Jagger & Richards wanted to be pop stars. Without his influence they would have been merely another sixties flash in the pan band largely unheard of today. Read a book mate.

[@Cissy2cute]

tnimbus - what really did Brian in was that blues had been the love of his life and when the band he had begun with such high hopes starting turning away from that genre he really began to lose it. Oldham played a role in that as well. From about 1967 on he was functioning in another world because the real one had become too painful. I always say Brian died from a broken heart, literally and figuratively.

[@tnimbus]

right on Cissy

[@ziggyzappada4554]

Beautiful slide guitar by Brian, he really was a great musician without drugs, a multi talented cat that was a victim of to many drugs of the wrong kind, one thing for certain (IMO) is Brian was murdered by Frank Thorogood because he was apparently owed money from Brian for work he had done at Brian's home, but Brian found out he was over charging for his services, so he told his accountant to stop payments, this led to an argument the night Brian died, the argument died down and Brian decided to go for a swim, Thorogood held Brian under water until he drowned ( Brian's girl friend was not in the pool when this occurred ) Thorogood admitted this on his death bed, yet many people at the home of Brian's, on the night knew this, but they all left quickly (via back fences etc.) and were frightened to come forward and say what really happened ( for several reasons ) Brian did not die from swimming under the influence of drugs! The official autopsy report said it was death by misadventure, and he had the equivalent of about 3 and a half beers in his system, plus a small amount of other drugs. According to Brian's girl friend at the time, he was happier than he had ever been and had stopped abusing drugs to the point he couldn't function. When Brian's girl friend went to collect all of his belongings from his home, it had been completely cleaned out, all his expensive Persian rugs and valuables gone! We all know who that would have been. A sad loss. R.I.P. Brian Jones

[@BonnieMagpie]

Keith Hall This is how I read it all as well. All I know is that Keith got to keep Brian's cat; don't know who got the rest. Plus I read somewhere that Brian took up an interest in Buddhism before he died; his life was taking on a different turn though without The Stones; I haven't read anywhere that he was harboring any bitterness towards the group.

[@ziggyzappada4554]

Bonnie Magpie He was in to Buddism, he also had 'cleaned up' from getting 'out of it' on drugs, according to his girlfriend. None of 'The Stones' held any grudges, in fact Mick Jagger cried because he was so upset about Brian's death. He was happy to be out of the group so he could pursue his own musical direction, I also know none of 'The Stones' had any grudges, they had nothing to do with Brian's death, they are only rumors about them poisoning him or whatever.

[@BonnieMagpie]

Keith Hall Thank-you Keith.

[@ziggyzappada4554]

Bonnie Magpie You're very welcome Bonnie. Take care. :-)

[@timokeefe2948]

+Ziggy “Frappanised” Zappada I think Brian faked it as he was the father of five children out of wedlock, with four different women, at twenty three and likely was under severe paternity scrutiny. If not, Brian had severe asthma from sickness as a child. I can tell you from my own experiences that it is very easy for an asthmatic to drown especially, if in the water alone. I have read that Thorogood had confessed to the Stones driver that he had drowned Brian, but i think he faked it and probably became some anonymous chemist or something.

[@williardbillmore5713]

Jagger summed Brian up with impeccable accuracy; "He was the author of his own misfortunes". I have always said that he was his own worst enemy. No one hurt Brian like he hurt himself.

What a sad, poignant final riff. When the Glimmer Twins realized they had McCartney-Lennon bankability, they squeezed Brian out. His stupefied studio appearances were his way of disengaging from what they had already disengaged him from. Sensitive hurt soul.

[@henrygriffen40]

William Defoe would be a great pick to play Brian Jones in a movie

[@tabs9213]

The Boyz got tired of Brian's behavior and said enough is enough. Instead of being a productive contributor he became detrimental. Much of the on the edge ambience of Beggars and Let It Bleed reflected Brian's distengration, the uncertainty of the bands future, and their arrests. Most notably Jumping Jack, Sympathy, Stray Cat, Gimme, Midnight and Monkey. All reflected a duality of crossing and recrossing the line into and out of madness.

[@lulacotte7416]

Spot on, real "friends" would have tried to help, i'm not trying to make him a Saint, but stealing his Girl and freezing him out does not show how true friends would react, and Keef saying "finaly" as a reaction to hearing about his death, is sooooo bad

[@RRL110]

clanbj Shows you what fame does to some people. Jagger always goes on about how some are not made for the pressure of fame. But I would say other are want it all so bad they are willing to act like scumbags to get it. That fits the other stones to a T. Sad part is for a brief period they had some really good blues oriented albums right after Jones died. And the funny thing is this was the direction Jones wanted them to go in. That spark died though after Taylor left. His great guitar playing solos were what made that period. Also before that Jones musical acrobatics on all those different instruments gave the stones their awesome eclectic sound. Its just boring guitar chord growls now because the talent left the band behind.

[@lefrauens]

Keef and Mick didn't even go to his funeral. Their attempts at sympathy for Brian are just weak. Mick, Keith, and Andrew took his band away, no wonder he went down. The Brian years were the best!

Keith took his girl because Brian was abusing her on vacation - the 3 were on holiday! I walked down the street with Brian July 1964 at about and he was drunk before doing a charity show at 100 Club Oxford st! He liked to hit Women and abuse himself with booze and Drugs unfortunately! He was my favorite Stone! The Autopsy revealed that he was in poor shape and would have lived not longer then another couple of years!

[@chezzeeX]

This is the first time i've seen this. Kind of sad when you think he could have just left the band and chose a different way of life. It seems that life within the band got him down, that's why he went the way he did. He should've focussed on what he truly wanted out of life. Maybe he had no time to think. Sad his life had to end the way it did.

With the caveat that it's human nature to say things that would have been better left unsaid, and that it's very easy for celebrities to slip up publicly in light of how often they're interviewed, it's not exactly Keith's finest hour when he admits that his reaction to Brian's death was "Finally.".
