AND CHARLIE WAS , IS , AND ALWAYS WILL BE , THE ROLLING STONES KEY MAN , FOR EVER AND EVER AMEN !!!!!!!

JC210988 yes

@americanbeauty dallas How come?

@americanbeauty dallas It sucks that they avoid talking about him at all costs. He deserves respect. He was not really a great person (from what I'vd heard) but he was a musical genius and made the stones what they are and deserves to be recognized as such.

A great friend to Mick as well as band member.

Tbh shes on it

Yeah 😊

That's what 1 of my comments to this video was

They've grown before our eyes / history's eyes into regal, respectable gentlemen who have willed the spirit of old , Southern bluesmen + hardcore british-wave pop stardom wave-ride all the way to the beach , as it were. They are even more appealing in their well earned social grace & status on display here. You make it for this long in a band context & you are on elite, solo ground. No others . So ,so glad their genetic-stock was sturdy & their patience w/ each other has predominated the inevitable rows mates like this will go thru. The greatest Rock & Rollmen on Earth. God bless both( but especially Keith! ) of them.

I’m sitting very quiet and still after watching this. Wish it were longer. The Stones have played a big role in my life since early 1964. A long, freakin time, indeed.

God help me.

@Cheryl Burford-Smith I don't believe any thing that is written that Brian was a horrible being. I believe he was quite the opposite: personable!

@@petrslivinski7481 brian was wonderful and very talented. The others are so ungrateful,poor bri.

@@petrslivinski7481 george harrison described him as nice when they met and they became friends at that time

@@setro5582 Definitely! However, George Harrison also said that Brian never received the love and nurturing needed from his parents: they were incredibly stern with no room for movement. I believe that is why he found love with all those girls. Also, John Lennon had met him and found Brian to be pleasant but mixed up because he never received the nurturing he needed from his parents.

@@petrslivinski7481 where do you know all that?🙂

L0r3n2 Exactly. When Mick was pointing out people in the Rock n Roll Circus he never pointed out Brian.

Revolver As much as I love Mick and Keith as musicians, they would n't be shit if not for Jones. Jealousy over Brian. Always has been, always will be.

Hahaha hahaha

Mick's a Leo, Brian was Piscean. I guess the cat ate his fish. Thanks enjoyed that.

Bonnie Magpie, can be seen this way since the guy was probably a weak person, otherwise a Piscean can also flood a Leo.. Mick was strong that's his luck.. but yes, what a sad story between those guys and bad the way they behaved with him!! they probably killed him at last.. this is the gloomy side of this dazzling band..

+terri julians Me too i was 16 in 1966 they're boys and keef " IS me boy!" Been there (here still the same!)

DogNose Studios are you angie

Brian Jones

Yeah, they said everybody had to wait around in the studio for Keith to perfect the riff, which could take days. Then, when he finally got it, he'd look at Charlie, and Charlie'd wait for the perfect time to enter, and Bang, Pop, Crack! and they're off to the races.

+Richie B u

The engine of the Stones.

Mick wants to be Keith and everybody wants to be Charlie

Keith has said without Charlie, there is no Stones.

& Brian for the 60's years

And Brian

Mick Taylor????

Unfortunately, they always hated poor Brian (:

Because people know who he is, they didn’t need to mention him.

Mustache 577 They're jealous of Brian's musicianship. It's obvious.

Revolver Brian did not do shit for the band he even was making it worst.

Mustache 577 Brian was a better musician than Mick or Keith ever were.

Such a bitterness, wow...

their memory of Brian seems to have been forgotten

+John Barry Hear, hear. For their part I'm sure that Mick and Keith both will resent Brian's memory forever. Apparently Brian was such a nightmare to deal with that they're both scarred, and I also suspect a bit of guilt for having unintentionally left Brian in the dust. It was something that they never wanted to happen, but to be fair, Brian was utterly unbearable in more ways than one and even Bill and Charlie agree, although Charlie felt sorry for Brian, but Brian was beyond hopeless. It's hard to feel sorry for someone who was reputedly as mean-spirited and selfish as Brian.

Got frozen out early by the band, ganged-up on and bullied; kind of thing makes you more selfish anyway.

Wrong. Brian was the most selfish, nasty, mean, vain, insecure, manipulative, irresponsible, self-destructive prick imaginable, impossible to get along with. To a man, Mick, Keith, Bill and Charlie all attest to this fact although Charlie also pitied him. His life was a complete train wreck but his life did end as the result of a murderous act that was never brought to trial. He died in that swimming pool by being intentionally drowned by a person who was unwilling to put up with him and not as the result of drug use. If he wasn't fired from the band, there would never have been a Rolling Stones band post-1969. His demise was sad but at the same time he's not missed by the band, and it's hard to relate this others who never had to deal with Brian. They'd like to be able to forget him because his memory serves no real purpose although Bill reported that his memories of Brian were happy in the very early days before Brian changed and became a very bad person. As Keith noted, he never wished Brian dead but now that he's gone it's a welcome relief. Mick noted that fame doesn't sit well on some people's shoulders, and that was Brian totally. It's a shame that things didn't turn out differently, but the introduction of Mick Taylor to The Stones set the stage for the band's early-70's career zenith.

DDEENY Mick and Keith tell all the worst parts about him, but forget to mention how after they learned Brian was paying himself an extra five pounds in the early days (considering the hundreds of millions Mick and Keith have made since joining his band, pretty paltry), they did petty things like take off in the tour bus without him, bully him, make him play the harmonica at a session till his mouth bled without even turning on his mic, not give him credit on a song he wrote the melody for (Ruby Tuesday), and generally conspire with Oldham to get rid of him. Some of his behavior was inexcusable, much of it was just reacting to being frozen out of his own band, as Mick and Keith soaked up his charisma and in Keith's case his woman and drug-decadent image. Read Paul Trynka's groundbreaking 2014 book on Brian (he did hundreds of fresh interviews with Stones friends, promoters, engineers, etc) to get the full story about him, not just the official 'he was an asshole that wasted himself' version that Mick and Keith always lazily hand out.

I made the point that the other 4 original Stones all attested that Brian was a bad person. "One witness is not enough to convict anyone accused of any crime or offense they may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses." (Deuteronomy 19:15) The point is that one can be wrong but not all witnesses can be wrong. For their part, Mick, Keith, Bill and Charlie were all there, and you and I weren't. The fact is that Brian was utterly unbearable. I can relate to this because I've known people that are the exact same personality type. I read the story where early on Brian went into a London record store and another customer had special-ordered American blues records (a coveted item at the time) that were waiting to be picked up, and Brian DEMANDED that the clerk give the records to him instead for the fact that he was in a band and deserved to have them. That about sums his personality up. Obnoxious. It's clear that Mick and Keith did come to resent Brian but that was only after Brian changed once the band came to a measure of pop success. Before that it was Keith and Brian who were tight together and chastised Mick for his effeminate mannerisms onstage. (Ian Stewart also used to get pissed off at Brian for playing "Popeye The Sailor Man" tune on guitar during shows where the audience was so loud that the band could barely hear themselves playing onstage.) Brian's odd musical contributions to the band were unique and indispensable and kept The Stones from becoming just another 60's British Invasion blues-based pop band. But beyond that his musical talent was sorely limited and once Mick and Keith songwriting skills and partnership developed, he couldn't accept that he wasn't so much a leader anymore but just another pedestrian guitarist in a successful band. But not surprisingly, those moments when his ego was able to be put aside and he gelled with the band rather than trying to fly above it proved to be both his and the band's finest moments.

Founder yes. More credit should (publicly) be given to him for that. And other stuff too. McCartney called Brian, ''Smashing.'' He was cool. To a point. Leader in the early days yes. And then … I think you know the rest. A controversial rock star to say the least. RIP.

Brian was a waster .

Good point. Mick mentions Bill (Wyman) once at least.

americanbeauty dallas Keith look only at his own picture so selfish

@@suzannepoisson5792 Egotistical.

Even though I know that Brian could be absolutely awful to everybody around him, I wish they could have acknowledged him at least once...

@@SoftTangerineDreams Yes! At least once.
