Brian Jones had no soul. He was a psychopath.

Don't heard here a genius musician.

@NoelArtMedia Very good! Bill Wyman has said that him and Brian composed the music for the song "Jumpin' Jack Flash". Jagger and Richards had no input! I believe Wyman.

@@petrslivinski7481 yo igual le creo a bill

@@abilgartecs7434 Bill Wyman's a great guy and bass player and knew Brian and understood him the best. I believe Bill too.

I agree leagend

@starman714 Today a STAR tomorrow a has been. People and the press are fickle creatures.

Jake McDonald Yes it makes me sad to. Brian was the gifted Rolling Stones original leader !

exactly

and was surrounded by sociopathic snakes Richards/Jagger/Pallenberg

@@thesummerland6165 Pallenberg was the undoing of Brian. Satanism, S&M, hard drugs etc. She was bad news.

@@annmcdonald6180 Keith Richards didn't fare too badly.

One can only wonder what might have been. In 1967 when this film was released it was clear the power center of the band shifted to Mick & Keith. Brian should have noticed he had his own niche in film scoring and said bye bye to the Stones.

@@chrisbacos agree 100%. He had more to offer than all the others together.

@@chrisbacos Say "bye-bye" to Jagger and Richards but have those "Glimmer" Twins buy his share out; and Brian could have named his $$$$$$$$ for that band and yes! moved on into a better and more productive life. Also, dump Pallenberg! She was excess baggage for him and a horrible influence. Let her go to Keith and bid Au Revoir!

@@annmcdonald6180 Brian had so much to offer but was silenced!

With another name I bet that Jagger/Richard became as famous, they create Stones repertory, think about.

Brian created nothing and he never led the band . It was always Keith's band from day one and it still is today.

No Jones= better Stones. Their success peaked just after they fired Jones and hired a real guitarist. Jones had been holding them back from realizing their true artistic and financial potential.

Brian denied any support at all to his at least half dozen illegitimate children and their poor mothers whom he used for his sexual satisfaction. There is nothing classy about that kind of behavior. Maybe he had "look" you liked, but he was, without question, a horrible person.

Joey Hooper Yep, they got even better

Nia Pieerdol Oh . not with Ron Wood !

TRUE.

I totally agree. The only post-Brian Jones album I can listen to is “Exile on Main Street.”

@@NiePieerdol Keith and mick got better at using and abusing other great musicians

+richard lawless Funny you should mention the Byrds as Brian actually co-wrote Eight Miles High but didn't want credits for it.

really?? never knew that

+richard lawless Gene Clark talks about it in this interview kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJZ5qq5kqrOdj3U.html You can also read about it in Paul Trynka's book about Brian, Sympathy for the devil.

Matthewsmum In shock , thanks for the info !

Brian didn't need posh sir Michael Jagger r Richard s get it

@Don Brogan The "Bobsee Twins" wouldn't recognize Brian great at anything; only that he had two personalities: nice and evil. I think there was too much animosity and jealousy amongst Jagger/Richards vs. Jones. Brian was so popular with the girls and that infuriated them. Also, too much Anita. She was an evil force to dropped like a hot potato in the River Thames! RIP Brian Jones.

I ponder what Brian might have accomplished musically had he lived. Such musical talent, to be able to pick up any instrument and master it almost instantly is truly amazing. I’ve never ever heard of any musician except Brian Jones who could do that. The only albums I like of The Rolling Stones are the early ones where Brian shines bringing new elements of interesting sounds to the songs. He was not only the founder, but the heart of his band. After he was ousted, they sounded like everyone else. At least that’s my humble opinion.

@@@rebeccahernandez3460 That seems to be the choices for most of the fans enjoyed the early sound of the Rolling Stones. Unfortunately, Brian Jones met an early demise that shocked the world in 1969. We all felt a sadness for the man and the contributions he made to the band he created.

flat cat I agree. Unfortunately we can only imagine what might have been. But 50 years it’s been since he left us and people still speak of and remember Brian Jones and his founding of and musical contributions to The Rolling Stones. I would think for a musician, that would be all one could hope for, just knowing your music lives on.

Becky Hernandez ......despite the Glimmers’ best attempts to remove any and all memory of Brian, in a curious irony, the Internet has seen folks previously completely unaware of the man, researching Brian’s involvement. Rest assured there are plenty of *genuine* music-lovers’ who fondly (in my case “best”) remember the early original songs that showcased Brian’s fabulous musicianship. I only need look at the first photo shown here to reinforce my feelings of which member *oozed* charisma and class. Keith was an awkward-looking kid and Mick a giggling, girly poseur who resented Brian’s popularity. Brian was a natural “star” and if for no other reason than his untimely death, will forever be remembered as young, beautiful and immensely gifted. Had Brian lived, I too always imagined he’d inevitably make his mark in Progressive Rock. Brian always cared more about the music and given his remarkable ability to learn instruments with ease would make Prog-Rock a natural progression for him imo.

I have my lights lit up 🔥 in the Brian Jones garden 🏡 now 2022 still lit ... RIP Brian Jones the first Stone ... ❤️ 🌺

Correcto por eso lo desaparecieron empresarios y dos que no fueron al funeral para quedarse con todo el negocio pero no hay mal que dure cien anos saludos

FELL INTO THE "ANITA TRAP"...THE DRUGS FOLLOWED ALONG...

No murder.

I agree with you one hundred per cent thanks , what goes round come s round wait and see, what sad lives that must live ,

Brian never held any rights to the name. After all he stole it from a copyrighted Muddy Waters song. Karma has already settled up with Brian Jones... He was truly a horrible person.

'...pipes of pan' ☀

Sorry , but Jones couldn't sing and he wrote exactly zero songs.

@@williardbillmore5713 He sang back ups, co-wrote, composed for the various instruments he played, and managed the band early on. Total package. No room for two frontmen in that band and it looked like he liked the front of the stage. Just what I have noticed in the videos. I think they were more complete with him. Doesn't look like any of the songs were written by any one single person.

@@butterfly.933 Brians backup singing sounded like a dying frog. That is why he had his mic taken away from him... He NEVER wrote anything. What he played on his novel instruments was ALWAYS another part in the already written song. He "managed" the band for a couple of months and he absolutely sucked at it, dishonestly taking more money while doing almost nothing. The Stones ALWAYS had two frontmen MICK and KEITH and they still do. In Another Land was written by Bill Wyman alone, Brown sugar was written by Mick alone and Ruby Tuesday was written by Keith alone. The Stones were never complete until they fired the drunk slacker with the fluffy blonde hair and hired a really great guitarist. Paul Trynka lied to you about EVERYTHING you think you know about the Rolling Stones.

@@williardbillmore5713 Online info confirms he co-wrote some songs. I honestly don't care about the rolling stones that much and don't want to know everything about them. I was just letting you know what is stated about him online. It listed all the songs he co-wrote. I like their earlier music with Jones quite a bit and a lot from the 70's too. Honestly the best one I think was Charlie. Keith is just lucky to be alive. I thought Jones dies, didn't know he was fired. There are videos online of him singing back up too. I am no Stones expert and don't want to be one. None of these people are someone to look up to in my eyes.

@@butterfly.933 When it was Jones' band he would attempt to sing backup and it sounded horrible. "ONLINE INFORMATION" will often quote Paul Trynka's books that are agenda driven fanboy fantasies and flat out lies. You can also find online information that states that the earth is unequivocally flat. ...This is why it is always paramount to check the veracity and reputation of the sources wherever you find, online information. Jones could not and did not ever write or co write any song. Not one. Jones, a dead beat dad of at least six illegitimate children and who live the self indulgent posh life of a mutimillionaire is certainly no one to ever look up to. There is good evidence that he was a psychopath and a malignant narcissist. There is no evidence that he was a musical genius or a writer of any songs beyond Trinka's book or people who quote Trynka's books.

You bet Brian Jones was Murdered !!!

true

Actually everybody hated Brian in the mid 60s. Or at the very least were annoyed by him. That included his own girlfriend, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, Andrew Loog Oldham, John Lennon. Actually for that very reason I think its very possible he was murdered. The theory that Jones was openly spiteful to Frank Thorogood and drove him crazy seems highly likely based on everything we know about Brian from those days. By the way Brian didn't teach Richards Open E tuning. For one thing it was open G tuning that Richards became famous for. Concievably Brian taught him that. They were listening to open G blues songs before they every had a recording contract. But it was other musicians that inspired Richards in how to use it, namely the Everly Brothers and Graham Parsons,

RonnieLeeDuck don’t know about open e but it was Ry Cooder that taught him open g. It’s been said that Keith didn’t like Cooder all that much so he never really gave him any credit for it

Riff Raff, I went back and checked Keith's autobiography. You are right, It was Ry Cooder who taught him Open G. Which kind of surprises me. First of all, I would have guessed Richards had learned open G much earlier somewhere along the line even if he didn't pursue using it. A lot of Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf songs use Open G so Keith was listening to it a lot in the early days. Furthermore, for some reason Richards says he had gotten to know Open E and D tunings before he knew Open G. Again, odd since the Chicago Blues style Richards loved uses Open G more than other tunings. And Open G is the most easy tuning to get to. Incidentally, I don't hear much influence of Cooder on Richards' playing.past the Open G tuning Cooder was a slide player for one thing. Richards had a very different style than so I don't know why Cooder should be credited for anything.

Paul. Thanks for the MP3 files of 'A Degree of Murder' back in 2018.😂

agreed!

Your argument is flawed in a few ways; a) Brian did not write many songs and show them to the band. b) Brian acted that way to Keith mainly, and it was because Keith had an affair with his then- girlfriend, Anita Pallenberg (started when Brian was in the hospital, ill) around the time of this movie's production and release, and continued to date her. c) Brian was not a horrible person. He was touchy with a majority of the band for awhile for perfectly legitimate reasons, and during the last year or so of his life, was coming out of depression, trying to fix mistakes he had made with his children, bought a house, had a healthy relationship with a new girl, and was starting a new band. Already had sessions scheduled, in fact. Frankly, the fact that he recognized his mistakes and was taking another swing more knowledgeable and ready is all that should matter. Rip

all

In addition to serum heroin, barbiturate, and alcohol, autopsy showed Brian had advanced liver disease. He wasn't long for the world, even if he hadn't gone swimming fucked up.

No. The autopsy showed only trace amounts of an amphetimine-like substance, and alcohol.

Hi! I'm afraid I don't know where it's from. I've taken most of the pictures from a fan page on Facebook. There are a couple of good fan pages on there. Just search for Brian Jones.

Brian on sitar, organ, acoustic guitar, recorder, mellotron, dulcimer and harmonica

@@@johannesr3621 Definitely a true multi-instrumentalist. Jagger and Richards and Wyman weren't even close to that title. Thus jealousy prevailed and got the best of them.

Jimmy page played guitar I think

@@petrslivinski7481 I'm sure that Mick and Keith don't have time to be jealous cause they were writting all the songs.

I saw it about 5 months ago and I didn't think it was that bad, I thought Anita and the other actors were good

3 damaged guys who were all damaged around the same time should have gotten together and formed an experimental band. Brian Jones, Syd Barrett and Steve Took. A supergroup.

mickavellian Well said 'Mick!'

mickavellian The Stones were never quite the same band after him, Mick Taylor was good but he didn't have that same 'magic' that Brian had...

Ted Angle Thanks mate I KEEP fighting this battle. Heard an interview with "The Glimmer Twins" a few nights ago.Mr. Richards discloses he had been playing guitar "two - three weeks before joining "The Rolling Stones" (with a "G" as Brian wanted. Mr. Jagger said he played NO instruments AT ALL just a little harp. Mr. Watts admits he was a Jazz player an knew nothing about R&R (STILL DOESN'T the luckiest fuck on the history of music) and Mr. Wyman well "he" HAD an amp. Ok, fair enough .. and the songs came from WHERE? WHO was this altruistic angel who filled three albums? SOMEONE please tell ME! , Cause Andrew Loog Oldham was a spoiled twat. To the credit of Jagger he admits DECCA gave them a contract on NOTHING they had 3-4 songs but they did not want to fuck up another "Beatle" deal. REgardless that the contract was SHIT. SO SOMEONE tell me who is this little blonde dude who kept appearing in videos of the time (TV kinescopes) always playing a different instrument ? Oh?. Mr. Jones? The HEART AND SOUL of Blues in LONDON . The guy who knocked Pete Townshend on his ass.? The guy Hendrix called a genius while at the same time , making fun of Clapton . The guy who Sir George Martin COULD speak "MUSIC" to? And if you're a musician it is not B B B C# D DD (THAT SHIT WAS "SATISFACTION".SURPRISE! Before Mr. Jones arranged it, THAT was Satisfaction "E/ BBBC#D DD. NOT a GREAT tune is it? In fact it is a straight RIP off the guitar riff to Martha & the Vandellas "Dancing in the Street." - THERE YOU HAVE "THE STONES in 8 notes" The line "Can't get , no satisfaction " was a Mr. Brian Jones contribution. So to the kiddies (who are destroying the history of R&R and insist Paul is DEAD) This is way too cosmic to accept cause it requires THINKING. So.. we must be accept living with our memories and our 30 year old books and remembering that "cat" who Jimmy Hendrix, Paul McCartney & George Martin called a genius with the tear drop guitar who INVENTED the London sound andand had a way too tragic life.

Ted Angle Well .. THE SOUL was gone . With all credit to Mick Taylor the "kid" fell in a trap of vipers, sucking leeches . First the ethos of the band was gone - The dream of Brian Jones was no longer there, the amazing creativity wasn't there and no one knew how to play an instrument. You had a band of ONE "Mick Taylor" and he wasn't calling the shots. The Taylor era is punctuated by "moments" of sheer brilliance provide by ... Mick Taylor . "Time waits for no one" was one of the best songs ever released and it was ALL Taylor. From that lead , to lyrics it was a Taylor/Jagger song with the root firmly planted in Taylor' s anglicized Latin riff (NOT FUCKING EASY) . But, again Taylor "DID NOT WRITE" - why .. "he didn't get credits" EVEN though Keith was not even around when the song was written and Jagger assured Taylor he'd get credits co-credits on the song - THAT second backstab on a member was despicable. "Can you hear me knocking" - AGAIN NOT a Jagger/Richards but a jam that included; (READ THIS BIT OF GUNPOINT ROBBERY FROM Jagger/Richards): Rocky Dijon on congas, Sax monster Bobby Keys blows a killer sax solo over the guitar work of Mick Taylor, accented by the organ work of Billy Preston. Around 4:30 Taylor takes over from Keys and carries the song to the end with a KILLER guitar solo.) Where are Mick and Keith here? Considered one of the best 100 Guitar songs of all times, it was an improv Jam. AGAIN Taylor (nor anyone else gets credits) Even when Jagger/Richards had what could be considered THEIR SONG (Sympathy for the devil) NO Stone played on it. The typical 4 chord C/W was transformed by a barely coherent Brian Jones into an other worldly mix , NO STONE had the chops to handle. The AMAZING lyrics were plagiarized by Jagger from Charles Baudelaire and from the Russian author Mikhail Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita (boy was *I* surprised when I red this book. Jagger JUST CLEANED UP in the stealing Department.). Just like "I wanna be your man" Jagger/Richards went through life stealing to the POINT they wanted credits in "I wanna be your man" since they were present when Lennon/McCartney arranged the song for them. I will admit Jagger HAS become a musician Richards has and always be SHIT , Watts can not play ANY drums and now , Ronnie well , he's a smart Gypsy (he is 100% gipsy) and is not even looking for credit . just GIMME MONEY. We CAN tell Ronnie is a GREAT composer from his work with Rod Stewart "Every picture tells a story" is in the top 10 songs of all times and Stewart bemoans the fact that Ronnie is NOT being given his due as a "Stone" and even Paul McCartney claims to Ronnie's AMAZING writing talents and the KILLER duo of Stewart/Woods. NO Beatle ever gave The Stones an ounce of credit and John Lennon called Jagger a CUNT and sheer poser who couldn't wipe Brian Jones ass. Sorry for the OVERKILL description but the really SAD part is that Jagger HAS become a great "interpreter" (NOT SINGER) and a damn decent writer but still a CUNT. Richards? .. well the man has the uniqueness of being the most hypocritical prick in R&R.

+mickavellian - Too bad Brian did not decide to be a singer/guitarist and then he could have written his own songs and arranged them etc. He probably would have had a longer life without Mick, Keith, Andrew and Anita dragging him down and making his drug and alcohol use heavier. He could have just hired a drummer, bass player and another guitarist and then he could have had control over his own band.

Andres Molina It has never been officially released but you can find the whole film on youtube.

Стругацкие " Волны гасят ветер" Мир убирает всех талантливых...

M.J. & K.R. have never downplayed Brian's role in the band. You're talking nonsense!

Not better then Mick Taylor yes better then R Wood!!!!!

He’s not a better guitar player than mick Taylor but overall Brian definitely is a better musician than everyone
