I always described Brian's contribution as layering different soundscapes and texture to their music. The Stones were doing something different than all the bands around at the given time. In all, Brian could play 28 different instruments. That gives a new definition to multi-instramentationalist. _Some of the brightest stars burn out the quickest._ When my dad died in 2017, I provided a bunch of family pictures for the funeral home, so they could create a DVD to be shown at the funeral home visitation. I chose "No Expectations" as the music to the video. I get emotional every time I hear that song, and that's been for many years now. In the end, Brian got jipped. He should have received music credit on each of those songs mentioned. He wrote his delcimer, sitar, marimba, mellotron, recorder, etc. lines. Mick and Keith didn't write the portion of those instramentational lines. That was all Brian. So he wasn't a lyricist. There is so much more to a piece of music than the words. Look at it this way using Pink Floyd as an example. Roger Waters is one of the greatest lyricists in modern music, yet I wouldn't place him in the top 20 bassists of all time. David Gilmour and Richard Wright pretty much wrote the music to the lyrics. Richard Wright could write lyrics, but David Gilmour was never that good at it. There is no doubt that Roger Waters era was when they did their best body of work. He was thrust into that role with Syd Barrett's departure. The era of David Gilmour in the 1980's was their weakest era.

"Jimi Hendrix was honored to attend a Rolling Stones recording session for Ruby Tuesday. It was really Brian Jones' session. He was the master of the sound, and the various exotic instruments he played all fused into a melodic experience that expanded the parameters of the Rolling Stones' sound. Ruby Tuesday became number one as they hung out together. Brian was ecstatic over its success. He loved to hear it by chance, on the radio in his Rolls Royce, in a club, or out of a solitary window they happened to pass. Brian would tell with great relish of how he and Keith Richards worked and worked on coloring, adding dramatic yet wispy touches here and there, alternating the mix between lead voice and background vocal harmonies, while interplaying exotic instruments. Sounds that were impossible to identify gave Ruby Tuesday an eternal air of mystery and yearning."--'Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky: Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child, by David Henderson

I am a bass player and made a living playing in mostly cover bands in bars through the 70s 80s and 90s. I not only listened to Bill's bass parts but I learned to play them and I learned how to embellish and strengthen -them to fill out what was sometimes only a three or four piece band. It is true that Keith only played bass on about 7% of their catalog, but they were all winning bass parts in winning songs. Don't try to tell me Bill was a better bass player than Keith..He wasn't.. I lived much of their music in real time. I know better.

Pure fantasy and fiction on Henderson's part. Ruby was Keith nearly solo opus from inception to the final mix. Extracting the recorder part found on that recording from Brian was like pulling teeth. Brian was only capable of several seconds of production one line at a time as directed by Keith and master arranger Jack Nitzsche. There were some passages that Brian was not capable of performing at all or refused to even try and session flute players had to be employed to complete Keith and Jacks vision for the woodwind accompaniment. of Keith's masterpiece.

It is all lies. Bill was not in the band when he claims all these things happened with Brian. Bill Wyman is a liar. Brian joined Keith's band in April or May and Bill did not join the band until mid December 1962, almost 1963. Bill was not there when Mick Keith and Dick Taylor founded the Blue Boys in 1961 ... the same band who changed their name to the Rollin Stones. Bill was not there to hear the repertoire of the Blue Boys before Brian joined Keith's band when most of what they played was Blues songs. Bill was not there when Brian asked if he could join Keith's blues band the Blue Boys. Bill was not there when they changed their name to the Rolling Stones from the Blue Boys and Bill was not there when they played their debut performance at the Marquee Club in July of 1962. Dick Taylor was Mick and Keith's bass player when all that happened. Bill was at the other end of London playing bass for a band called the Cliftons and he did not know Keith, Mick or Brian at that time. Everything Bill says about the early Rolling Stones are lies. BILL WAS NOT THERE.

You see, Brian was a malignant narcissist and a braggadocious serial compulsive liar. Bill was his best friend in the band, maybe in the world and they roomed together when they were on tour. Bill was not in the band for the first eight months after Brian joined, so he knew nothing about how the band formed or who made the decisions or who was in charge... Brian filled his head with lies about how he auditioned and hired the band members, named the band, booked the gigs and was the musical leader deciding what they played and how they played it. None of it, of course, was true but Bill believed him , or at least he seemed to believe him. After Brian tragically died the only one willing to do interviews about Brian was Bill and he would go on and on retelling the lies that brian had told him over the course of six years . The writers and journalists would then quote Bill as though everything he said was the gospel truth because after all...He was a member of the band wasn't he?...they would never check their source to see if Bill was even in the band at the time he supposedly remembered all the things that he says Brian did... Poor journalism. Then all the writers and journalists started quoting and embellishing on each other's gossipy stories as well as quoting Wyman and all his nonsense. Thus the legend was born. Complete with made up stories and extended myths about Brian writing many songs without getting credit for his "musical genius" and tales of having his band "stolen" from him.. One writer ( Paul Trynka) wrote such gushing lies about Brian that some pages in his books contained the words "musical genius" more than the words "the" and "and". They always portrayed Mick and Keith as the evil plotters who stole poor Brian's songs and his girl friend and his band and Brian as the angelic victim who fell under their oppression and bullying. Nothing could be further from the truth, but It sold books.. There never was a shortage of musical geniuses in The Rolling Stones but Brian Jones was certainly NOT one of them. Jones was a poser, a psychopath and a phoney.

We can't ignore that when Brian broke his wrist attempting to punch Anita Pallenberg in the face in a Morocco hotel room, that the bones in his wrist reportedly didn't heal properly and it made playing guitar painful and difficult for him. It was around that time when Brian announced to the band that he was bored with guitar and he quit playing it altogether. When Brian tried to do interviews with the press he would often be so drunk or stoned that he would get profane and nasty with everyone in the room and the band.

He was the original Stone, the founder, a wild child, a reckless, thoughtless and destructive ' bad boy', and also a brilliant musician & a creative genius. The comments used here, by Richards & Jagger, don't reflect well on them. They had their own very well known and documented issues with addiction & substance abuse which they admit (elsewhere), and at the same time as Jones did, which resulted in their own professional shortfalls in studio, but they survived their addictions, and he didn't. There but for fortune.

In the early years of the Rolling Stones we didn't think about who is creating the music, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman seemed to be just the band behind Brian Jones with this guy Jagger as a singer. Brian was the remarkable face of the early Stones, because of his style, his haircut, the way he dresses, he was the first Rockstar, a role he created and that was one of the reasons that made the band famous. By the time it became clear who really made the music of the Stones and that was not Brian, that was his problem, he could not write their songs, he could not sing like Mick Jagger and he could not play guitar like Keith Richards but he wanted to be seen as the "boss" he never was.

@@NoCats-on-Guitars LOL, again you prove you know nothing about the Stones. Brian and Keith DID create the Stones' weaving style together. You can look up several quotes from Keith on this. It's Keith and Mick Taylor who played separately. Here's one quote for instance to prove how ignorant you are: Keith: “When Brian and I started playing together we were listening to Jimmy Reed and Muddy Waters. In both cases, you had two guitars weaving around one another. We’d play those things so much-which is the way you have to do it-that we knew both parts. So then we got to the point where we got it really flash and we suddenly switch. The one doing the lead picks up the rhythm and the one doing the rhythm up the lead. It’s what Ronnie and I still call 'an ancient form of weaving.' We still do it today. We don’t have to look at each other, almost. You can almost feel it. You say, 'Ah, he’s gonna take off now. Okay, I’ll go down.' And vice versa." Question: So on "19th Nervous Breakdown," it’s you playing lead. But on "The Last Time," it’s Brian playing lead, right? Keith: "Yeah. I just did the chords on "The Last Time." Brian’s playing the main riff [sings it]. I’m playing the acoustic and I also overdubbed the chords in the solo. Just passing chords." Also, you can't have songs at all without someone arranging them. Ridiculous of you to dismiss that just because you refuse to admit you were wrong. It's like dismissing George Martin with the Beatles. I hope you rise above your childish ignorance one day.

Phil May lead singer of the Pretty Things and close friend of Dick Taylor, the original bass player for the Rolling Stones says The Stones would have happened with or without Brian Jones. “I think Mick and Keith had produced enough material even if Brian hadn’t joined. I think Brian was an incredible ingredient and owed to the success of The Stones but if I had to take one of the three of them out, or even two of the five of them out, I suppose Bill (Wyman) and Brian would be the two you could have lost and still had a band that meant something”.

"No one’s ever spotted the fact that Brian Jones took two, sometimes three songs and layered them. People writing about the album have missed it because they have no clue what Joujouka music is. Listen to the women singing with flute and drum underneath them, that’s two songs playing at the same time. That’s why Brian deserves to have his name on the cover. He was making a cut-up of the music to recreate what he felt there.”--Frank Rynne, manager of the Master Musicians of Joujouka

Under my Thumb, It's Not Easy, Yesterdays Papers, Lets Spend the Night Together... If that isn't enough it was Keith we also heard playing bass on Sympathy for the Devil, Jumpin Jack Flash, Street Fighting Man, Stray Cat, Connection, Live With Me, Happy and most of Goats Head Soup. That is a pretty essential part of the Stones catalog where Bill would be told what bass parts were needed and he would just say to Keith, "if you know what you want , why don't you just play it"... Often Keith would just play the bass because Bill didn't show up for many sessions. None of these songs would have been nearly as big if Keith left all the bass playing to Bill. Most of Bills bass lines were not memorable. With rare exception, when it came to Bill's bass playing he was a minimalist.

Keith may have his own reasons for having said what he said...But there is no denying what the band DID. No matter who says what the band's line up at the debut of the Rollin Stones tells the story. How long the Blue Boys were together. Who founded and formed the Blue Boys. The fact that the band The Blue Boys remained together and intact after they changed their name to the Rollin Stones and simply added two new guys just a little more than a month before their debut is all anyone has to know to figure out who joined who and which two guys started the band. The Rolling Stones original bass player, Dick Taylor had this to say about it ; Dick also rejects the story that The Stones was originally Brian Jones’ band. “There was always the big rift between to do with him thinking he started The Rolling Stones,” he said. “The fact is it was an amalgamation of two bands. It was his band and the thing we were doing already. That “thing” was called Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys. Taylor was in the Blue Boys with Mick and Keith. They merged with a band Brian Jones was trying to put together (Brian and Ian) and became The Rollin’ Stones. Unlike Bill Wyman, Dick Taylor was there and a part of it all at the time. He was a Blue Boy and he was a Rolling Stone. "Merged is another way of saying JOINED. When two "merge" with four... Four who had been together rehearsing for many months, it is easy to see who joined whose band. Brian joined Keith and Micks band because he had no band of his own and he wanted to be in a blues band. The "myth" that Brian, somehow "founded" an existing band who played that night is absolutely absurd and childishly naive just because a bass player who would not even join them for another five months said that is what happened.. Brian was there and here is what he said about joining Keith and Mick's band; *Interviewer:---What were you doing before you joined? ( the band)* *Brian---"Well just sort of bumming around, waiting for something to happen , really mmmmm I had quite a few jobs and I was trying to get a band going, but it was "unsuccessful" until I met up with Mick and Keith and then ...well THAT was a successful band.* " Mick and Keith were *"successful"* at putting a blues band together where Brian was *"unsuccessful"* , he said so using his own words. He didn't need to try anymore if he and Ian just joined Keith and Mick's band, so they asked and they did. Brian never claimed to have founded or formed the band. Bill was the source of that myth.

What Jagger-Richards, and Andrew Loog-Oldham, did to Brian Jones's psyche was sinful and will not be forgiven. The narrator delivers plenty of mistakes and misinformation to the uninformed, misinformed; including and not limited to confusing a blues song with a psychedelic tune. Nevertheless… Brian Jones remains one of the most innovative multi-instrumentalists in musicology. God Bless Brian Jones. Sleep In Heavenly Peace.

Obviously you have no idea what a "fuzz bass" is. A fuzz bass is an ordinary bass guitar that is played, plugged into an overdriven preamp called a fuzz box that give a bass guitar's normally smooth and deep tone a raspy out front sound. Keith played fuzz bass on rare occasion... most great bass players have, like McCartney and Squires, but most of the songs Keith had to play bass on were normal sounding bass guitar . Keith always kept his own Precision Fender bass on hand in the studio, in case Bill didn't get the feel for one of Keith's masterpieces and deferred the bass playing to the guy who wrote them. Do you really think that Sympathy For the Devil, Street Fighting Man and Jumpin Jack Flash were songs that "didn't sound very good"??? I don't have to defend those classic monster hit songs ... probably the best songs they ever wrote and recorded... Those songs and their arrangements speak for themselves and so does Keith's brilliant bass guitar work on those classics he saved from Bill's mediocre bass playing. Even Mick Taylor and Ron Wood have had to fill in for Wyman when he wasn't feeling the groove on some songs On his worst day as a junkie Keith was still more creative and a more talented bass and guitar player, with a better work ethic than Brian and Bill were at their best put together.. You can never say that Keith was a slacker at any time in his career. He has always had the reputation as a tireless work horse in the studio and on stage. He still does at 80.

. Jones did not start or found the Stones. When he was unsuccessful at starting his own band Brian went to Keith and asked if he could join the Blue Boys and Keith agreed. The band who debuted at the Marquee Club July 12th 1962, as the Rollin Stones were the four members of Keith and Mick's band, Mick Jagger, the lead singer of the Blue Boys, Keith Richards the guitarist of the Blue Boys, Dick Taylor the bass player of the Blue Boys and Tony Chapman the drummer of the Blue Boys. the band Keith founded the year before. They were joined on the Marquee Club stage by Brian and Ian, who joined the band figuratively and physically that night. Brian DID NOT form or found the Rolling Stones in any way shape or form. Brian JOINED Keith's band. THAT band changed their name from the Blue Boys to the Rollin Stones. It is all there in the historical record once you wade through all the mythology and lies Bill has been spouting to book writers, journalists or anyone who will listen with his worshiping lies about Jones for decades.. Just look up who first played the Marquee Club as the Rollin Stones and then. look up who were in the band Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys That Keith and Mick founded in 1961. The history is clear you will find Dick Taylor and Tony Chapman in both lists You seem to think you have it all figured out, but sadly most of what you are saying is wrong.. Ian could not be "part of Brian's band because Brian never had a band. It was just he and Ian when Brian realized that his attempt to start his own band had been " unsuccessful."..( His own word). Brian and Keith and Mick were all sitting in with Alexis' band around the same time and Mick's singing was many times more impressive than Brian's slide guitar. None of them were more established than the others at any given time. They were all playing for free when they sat in with Blues inc, It was more like open mic invitation than anyone joining anyone's band.. Brian never managed the group at any time after he joined Keith's band. Ian was their road manager until 1985 but Brian could barely manage himself. So that is false. Brian has been given far more credit than he was ever due. Most of what has been written about him are lies and myths.

Brian Jones was the least important and the least talented member of the Rolling Stones. He was a poser and a hanger on never writing or singing or improvising. He played what he was told to play because left to his own devises he was not at all creative and he had no musical imagination whatsoever. Jones never formed or founded the band and he never really led them musically, technically or in business.. Jones was a slacker and a lazy musician. This lack of importance was demonstrated in the days, weeks, months and years immediately following Brian's departure from the band who brought him on board in the summer of 1962. Without the self indulgent narcissistic parasite Jones in the band they reached heights of creativity and artistic expression never before realized or imagined.The band's world-wide success became unparalleled and phenomenal. If Jones contributed a tiny fraction of what his worshipers claim for him , the band would have faltered and taken time to establish their footing after firing Jones... But what occurred was exactly the opposite. the band exploded with artistic expression that brought them unprecedented critical acclaim and praise from critics and fans alike from all over the world indicating that Jones was in all likelihood actually holding them back from attaining their full creative and artistic potential on the world stage. The turn in their careers took from 1967 to 1974 should make Jones's unimportance painfully obvious to anyone paying attention but somehow his worshipers cling to the notion that this nonessential drunken fop had an important roll in their development, They could not be more wrong.
