Brian JONES: Girlfriend's Story "So Many STUPiD Things" | Episode-2

The Rolling Stones
Swinging sixties buzzed in the air. The Rolling Stones, with their rebellious swagger and blues-infused rock, were at the crest of the wave. And amidst the whirlwind stood Brian Jones, the enigmatic multi-instrumentalist and founder of the band, his life a swirling kaleidoscope of music, women, and a yearning for something beyond.
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 think the same!Brian qas and is until now the most important! His memory lives forever 💯

[@WhenHariMetKari]

Yeah but Keith and Mick actually became the songwriters of the band. Brian definitely was the founder, and and an excellent musician who thought outside the box adding various instrumental arrangements etc, however he didn’t write any songs.

[@TheaterPup]

Brian was their George Martin, he would take charge and arrange the songs they brought in. This "he didn't write songs" is an old tired narrative.@@WhenHariMetKari

He didn't start the Rolling Stones. He didn't even name them. Cut the crap.

"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

[@elenikorkodelaki2695]

I get tears in my eyes with your comment! So touching words for the precious Brian Jones 🙏 And in those year 1969 he lost his Life 😢I believe he was to sensitive! When he knew he knew how important he was, maybe he were stronger and alive! Respect and appreciation for the legendary Stone Brian Jones 🙏🎸

[@gardensofthegods]

There's an outstanding audio documentary here about Brian Jones life from the very beginning and all about his childhood and his teen years right up to when he first creates The Stones ... he'd already lived an extraordinary life by then . It was very good and gives you a very clear idea of who he was . I don't know what it's called but I just watched it last month

[@user-eb5ib9kv1e]

@@gardensofthegods Please try to get more information on the subject. Thanks. I believe how could it be, that Brian suffered a whole lot from his passed childhood. He kept something very terrible inside and did not try to get rid of this pain. Such a sensible guy and what a great artist. I always loved this guy.

[@tommymorgan4677]

I wonder what kind of band Stones would be if Paul Jones ( later Manfred Man ) had said yes when Brian asked him if he want to be the singer in his new band ?

[@johnrunion5357]

the brian jones era was BY FAR the best era of the stones. he founded the band. he named the band. he set into motion what musical direction the band would take. then he expanded that sound. when the stones did beggars banquet, let it bleeed, etc. mick and keith were merely returning to the original direction for the band that brian had all ready started at the beginning of the band. mick taylor is indeed a great guitarist. however his style did not mesh with the rest of the band. his guitar solos stick out like a sore thumb. by the taylor era, keith was reduced to merely being the rhythm guitarist of the band; gone was the weaving style invented by brian while playing guitar with keith. i like all of the taylor era stones albums, but no where near that of the brian jones era. although i think some girls is the last great, last classic album the stones ever did, the ronnie wood era was/is the least cutting edge era of the band. during this time they merely slightly adjusted their style to what ever trend invented by others that was transpiring at that time.

[@johngore7744]

I’ve been a Stones fan since 1967 and in 1973 was a member of the Brian Jones fan club. ( yes I was only 13 lol ) and Brian was always self destructive. And he always lacked the ability to write ( I’ve read in many books about the band. About 15 I think ) he was incredibly competent on any instrument but could not apparently show anyone his work for lack of confidence. Mick and Keith at 20 or 25 caught up in the whirl wind of their success could hardly be expected to be mature enough to recognize his problems and Brian himself apparently was quite nasty to people often for no reason other than his own insecurities. When Anita came into his life it got worse. The she ditched him for Keith and she and Keith became world class pharmaceutical junkies. But by the time Brian died he was bitter and angry and self pitying. It very very sad. In those day mental health was not a thing as it is today.

[@davidmurray2539]

You don't sound the kind of Brian Jones fan club member they should have been recruiting. Pity they didn't vet you more thoroughly before they issued you a membership card. There's absolutely nothing celebratory in either the tone or content of your cranky opinions and I sincerely hope the club fleeced you out of a year's worth of babysitting money for all you must've contributed towards poisoning the rock and rolling atmosphere, undermining the positive spirit and goodwill the club was obviously trying to generate for this most gifted by far, felled by tragedy, Stone. Dreadful behavior. Your age was no excuse.

[@clarkrobertson7982]

I was lucky enough to see The Stones in 1965. It was a life altering experience. I was 13!

Brian wrote an entire film score, which neither Mick and Keith have done.

[@theyrekrnations8990]

Somehow I always feel that Brian was a bit bullied or used. Sadly alcohol and drugs will lie to people and convince them that it is doing something good for them. Brian got trapped by his own usage. In the 60's and the 70's the drug scene was a new thing, and people were mostly unaware of the consequences. The drugs usually ruin lives. Brian did not seem to take good care of himself. Maybe he was about to, but his life was ended. His case is still closed and cannot be reviewed

I don’t get all this revisionist romanticism of Brian Jones. Why? Cause he’s a pretty blonde guy who’s “mysterious”? Ok, yes he was a good instrumentalist. I didn’t know the guy personally, I doubt anybody else watching these videos did. What I have heard is first hand accounts of just about everybody including this woman here about how nasty of a person he was. I do know he had bastard children he abandoned.

[@TheaterPup]

Actually "this woman here" has spoken well of him many times, as have the other women in his life. Maybe read and watch more before commenting.
