Roger has a disarming modesty & naturalness about him that’s most appealing.

[@obbor4]

Everyone seemed to like Brian Jones except for Mick and Keith. I've never heard another musician (except for Charlie) say a single bad thing about him. Bill Wyman along with John Lennon, Bob Dylan, and Jimi Hendrix (among others) gave Brian a large amount of credit to Brian as both a musician and a friend.

[@musiclover3205]

The Glummer Twins are still jealous of Brian more than 50 years after his death. You are correct Brian's peers all have lovely things to say about Brian. Brian played on other band's records because he played so many instruments. Brian hired the Glummers and Charlie. They are very immature and try to re-write history but the real fans and other musicians know the truth.

[@johnnyconnelly7278]

Bill Wyman always champions and defends Jones..in fact he lobbied to have the plaque changed that said that jagger and richards formed the stones after meeting at Dartford railway station. Jones formed the band and recruited Mick and Keith.

[@TheGoldtopdude]

By '67 Brian was hanging with The Beatles more than the Stones. I've read he was a handful drunk, liked to abuse women. Keith pretty much kidnapped his girlfriend and drove to another country to keep his girlfriend from killing him. Anita Pallinberg? was not someone to fuck with.

[@deeg8849]

Totally. So many are quoted. Like Ginger Baker. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foHGkKGfpJWMhrs My theory on mick and Keith is that the bitterness started in the early 80s. Keith had cleaned himself up, the money was really pouring in and they were the last real great 60s band left (Beatles, Hendrix, Hendrix, etc we’re done). MTV came along and they started to do more interviews and many of the questions were about the early years cause they were around so long. They started thinking legacy and didn’t like the narrative of Brian forming, naming and giving the band its sound and style/swagger when here they were still slogging it out. No doubt mick and Keith took charge with song writing and Andrew’s support, but they couldn’t shake “the reality of Brian”. So the only tried and true way to do so is to slag the guy. I also think that this only happens with Keith’s doing. Keith didn’t do it in the 70s for one reason and that’s Anita. If Keith had slagged Brian when they were together, she would of straightened him out. Just read the 1971 Keith interview with Rolling Stone magazine in which Anita sits in on and is apart of. I’d same 20% of it revolves around Brian and they both speak warmly of him. To go from that to slagging ten years later says a lot. Just listen to Keith in 1971. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp_HhGNpo5WUn6c. Go to the 6 minute and 20 seconds mark where Keith is asked about mick Taylor having to fill in on Brian. Let’s just say his comparison of Bobby Keys (a man he’s regarded as his soul mate even after he died) to Brian says it all

[@TheaterPup]

I don’t get the impression they didn’t like him, it’s just awkward for them because they kicked him out of the band shortly before his death. Even if they had valid reasons, that would weigh on anyone.

Spoiler: If you're watching this video to learn more about Roger's friendship with Brian Jones, don't bother. All he says is that he was friends with him.

[@carloslima6705]

yes. And it seems that he was gonna say something more abot it but the video was cut.

[@apexjoe4769]

Coincidentally,both are Pisces🐟🐟

[@Imintune...]

Obviously Brian was cheering them at the rock and roll circus after they're performance shows it. Too bad he died young.

[@historicusjoe121]

I love Daltrey's humility. The greats are always the most humble.

[@jamesdrynan]

Chris has never been in a position of awestruck proximity. The Beatles were iconic before people used that word. They were the reason that many English bands had a chance of success. The Who were an excellent group, with Daltrey an exceptional frontman.

[@hohaia01]

Roger Daltrey never struck me as a shy person.

[@dennismason3740]

Roger - I've met a few since 1953. When flummoxed just say I love your work, thank you so much...cheers! and walk away.

[@tsartodd]

i'd be starstruck if i ever got to meet Roger Daltrey in person. so to hear that he was -- and still is -- starstruck by other musicians is pretty interesting.

[@trajan6927]

I have met Roger Daltrey 5 times. Once just him and I. He is a great guy. Very nice and down to earth guy. Appreciates life and what he has accomplished. Gentleman with a big heart. Very generous.

[@wonder6789]

He got on great with Brian because they were the lone blonds in a sea of dark haired rockers! All kidding aside, it would have been interested to learn more about Roger's friendship with Brian - through the turmoil of Brian's last years...

[@rodentcafeteria]

To this day, Roger Daltrey can get starstruck? By who? This man is a legend.

[@steffanhoffmann]

He's British. We're humble compared to 🇺🇸

[@DuoJet63]

One of the greatest singers ever.

[@trajan6927]

Great singer and my favorite frontman.

[@superfuzzymomma]

THE WHO were my Beatles. Gobsmacked to listen to RD!

[@jaykay6387]

Shocked that even a contemporary as accomplished as Daltrey and the Who would become "starstruck" by the Beatles at that early date. Never would have imagined that. Of course, it's obvious that the Beatles have become iconic, but I was never aware of how revered and in awe other artists were of them at the time.

[@neildesperandum6114]

I believe he’s alluding to the fact that he has a stutter that doesn’t bother him much these days but still gets him sometimes.

[@colinpumpernickel2605]

Roger never ages!

[@johnurban7333]

I’m not sure this guy realizes The Beatles opened the door for other British bands to come over. Even Roger had to tell him they were 2 years before The Who

[@FreezeMathias]

Yea, The British Invasion started with The Beatles

[@trajan6927]

Two years earlier in the success department, but The Beatles, The Stones, The Who all were playing in some form or another in 1959, 1960.

[@johnnyconnelly7278]

Fking hell..just as he talks about Jones and maybe gives some insight and truth on the man the stones helped destroy and later malign it cuts out..

[@daveh9335]

Best single rock voice ever imo. Ian Gillan might make a case but yeah, long live rock and Mr Daltrey.

[@trajan6927]

Gillian also has a great voice but Daltrey has proven to be the greatest frontman last 60 years.

[@benglassman]

What a Bloke ! Humble to the core.

[@EmeraldWoodArchives]

Wonderful dude.

[@peterforget946]

7 seconds mentioning Brian Jones, wth

[@TuckerSP2011]

I know, please, need more Brian!

I hear what your saying...no Jones no stones

[@effdonahue6595]

[@dizzypilots2639]

Ian Anderson was at least disappointed by Brian at the Circus. I’m a big fan of Brian when he was on.

[@steffanhoffmann]

I see many comments from USA people about Roger. Let me try and explain something please. He's a Londoner, as am I. British schooling system (generally speaking) teaches not to "blow our own trumpets". Stoic and quietly confident. Don't interrupt, constantly listen, wait for the person to finish. 👆 I didn't see much evidence of that here. Nobody was as obsessed 👉 🇺🇸 with The Beatles either, they were just the 1st to come to fruition. Were the most popular. We had lots to choose from. Salutations, from Kensington and Chelsea; in London. 🇬🇧 🤝 🇺🇸

[@geoycs]

“That’s hilarious....”

[@guitarisdead1642]

Was just re-reading Roger's biography; one of the most clear-eyed, level-headed rock biographies and approaches to the madness of the music business you'll ever read. He's coped with a lot to keep The Who - his band, really - a going concern and not the parody that Townshend always feared.

[@dindjarin7185]

Find it was Rolling Stones who inspired The Who.

[@trajan6927]

Actually The Beatles, The Stones and The Who all admired each other and influenced each other. They are all friends to this day.

[@dindjarin7185]

@@trajan6927 Yes , they did. Was Stones got The Who into the R & B scene. Same with Yardbirds.

Hey Roger...How's brexit going😂😂😂😂😂?

[@brittanygarrison8030]

Still hotter than 99% of these millennials.

[@sratus]

What millenials are you referring to Brittany?

[@RICHBLACKCOCK]

Brittany Garrison. I`m quite sure there were a lot of jazz musicians a generation ahead of the BEATLES, THE WHO & ROLLING STONES, well the BRITISH INVASION in general that didn`t like them either!!! Miles Davis, DIZZY GILLESPIE,CHARLIE PARKER etc. didn`t think much of them. I of the reasons is thatmost of the "ROCKERS"!!! didn`t read music. so like most of the "MILLENIAL!! AUTO TUNERS!!! do play instruments, well. previous rock audiences don`t like them neither. Aliens r allowed into EARTHS orbit i day soon, SUDDENLY!!! people will like millenial music: "OH!!! WERE SORRY!!! WE HAVE A COMMON ENEMY NOW!! Always gotta have a "BAD GUY"!!!! to mask one`s own problems. shame.

[@sratus]

@@RICHBLACKCOCK What in the name of Jesus are you rambling about sir?

[@RICHBLACKCOCK]

@@sratus Welcome. Tell me u got the gist as 2 what I replied to??? It`s all pretty simple. I just had a little fun with the ALIEN INVASION!! portion of it towards the end, that`s all. Most of POP!!! music is geared towards kids/young adults. CORRECT!!!??? Mostly. I mean from the ages of 13/14 to, ok I`ll give it to the mid 20`s. After that, you`re looking in the REAR VIEW MIRROR!!! of your ADOLESCENCE!!! & music played a big part of that. Millenials(WHAT EVER THE HELL THAT MEANS!!) listening 2 Justin Beiber or HIP HOP etc. is for a NEW AGE GROUP. Not for guys who listened to the BEATLES or the WHO, or ROLLING STONES. The JAZZ & BLUES musicians a GENERATION!!! earlier from the BEATLES didn`t care for them much!!! The BEATLES; were in the same POSITION then!!! as HIP HOP guys & Lady Gaga r NOW!!!! heck. guys who listened 2 80`s music HATE!!! GAGA & LIL BOW WOW!!!! now in 2021. I know u see that!!!!
