Bill Wyman knows who was who and what was what when it comes to the Stones. He's remained incredibly loyal to Brian Jones through thick and thin over these many years since the 1960s. I'm glad Brian's legacy is being appreciated publicly at long last and I'm looking forward to seeing this film

Go Bill, a man dedicated to telling the truth not only with respect to the Stones, but in his own passions cause he knows that finding and reporting truth is more important than trying to shape a self serving legacy. Wish everyone involved in this much success

i love bill. he carries the torch in brian's memory. he's the first to say he was prickly and nasty when he wanted but also feels brian was hard done by. it's that sense of conviction he has in telling of brian's greater qualities.

Brian was a complex man, but he gave Jimi Hendrix his big break through his established contacts in the music industry. A gifted musician beyond belief, his parents didn't respect his talent and didn't even go to see him perform, despite an invitation from him. How cruel. The rest is all too familiar, culminating in an early death. What remains is that despite everything, Brian is still fondly remembered today as a great musician and style icon. I hope he is smiling his Cheshire Cat grin, wherever he is now.

Brian inspired me to play guitar...my dad let me stay up to watch The Rolling Stones on the Ed Sullivan show many, many moons ago. Playing guitar kept me out of trouble, inspired my creativity, has made me a better man. Thank you Brian...🤗

For me it was the Brian Jones years that I have enjoyed the most and always come back to

Just finished watching this fascinating film about Brian & was left feeling quite sad for him… it’s a very moving story really well told. One of the things that shines through is Bill’s respect & admiration for Brian’s phenomenal musicianship, and his loyal friendship for Brian.

Fantastic - Brian had his faults but it he who was largely responsible for taking the blues mainstream.

I'm looking forward to this. To me the Stones were never the same after Brian left.

Most iconic Stones Albums and songs were with Brian

Finally a good doc on Brian!

This was such a fascinating film, I didn't realise he started the group originally.

An interesting watch, particularly some of the early footage of Brian and comments from his ex-partners. Bill's contribution too. I would have liked more current voice over comments from Mick & Keith - as I recognised some of these date from the late 1980's. Of course, they may still harbour negative feelings towards him. All in all, Brian was vitally important in 1962 & 1963 - really important 1964 to 1966 - and increasingly insignificant 1967 to 1969. As was stated, he formed one of greatest and longest enduring bands of all time. PS my parent's close friend, Stewart, grew up in Cheltenham and is a similar age to Brian - and remembers him around the town in the pre-Stones era. I must have another chat regarding Brian.

In the early days Brian was the best looking of the group he seemed to have the most charisma as well, it is not surprising that he got the most fan mail

Brian forever!

The english gutter press eroded his confidence. Brian deserved better mates & support.

Got to see The Stones & Brian Jones documentary on the big screen last night! It was for a film festival and the place was packed. Nick Broomfield and Bill Wyman definitely made sure Brian's musical contributions were front and center; I even heard audience members saying afterward that Brian should have received more credit! 😁 The women in Brian's life were a very strong presence throughout the documentary, which is awesome. 👩 And most of all, the lesson I took away is, when you see someone having a hard time in life, be a friend. Say something. Just be kind. ❤

my dad in the late 50s early 60s used to play in a trad band in cheltenham called bill niles deltas and brian would ask to play but he wasnt really a trad jazzer so he wasnt good but i think blues was his thing.

Bryon Gysin and Brian Jones both recorded the Master Musicians of Jajouka. They even wrote a song about Jones.

brian était un musicien très talentueux, brillant, innovant, unique. comme jimmy page pour led - zeppelin . nous avons la deux remarquables musiciens dans les 5 meilleurs groupes rock 🎸 de la planète. surtout à respecter. 🎸🎸🎸🇲🇨

Can't wait to see it.

Looking forward to this! :D

If there were such things as Ghosts then they would have The Ghost of Brian Jones as well as the Ghost of Charlie Watts in the present day stones line up .

I watched this this week, seen a few Brian Jones Doc's, this easily wins for exclusive footage,stories etc, I read about the triad with Anita, Brian, Keith,etc,not really mentioned about until this.and a lot of other interesting bits with Jimi & Brian & The Beatles, 810 for me,biased being a stone's fan

In a recently uploaded 2015 WTF interview, Keith Richards claims that The Rolling Stones was Ian Stewart's band. Amazing, the dude is almost 80 years old, but he still can't seem to come to grips with the musical genius and legacy of Brian Jones (though admittedly, the late Mr. Jones was not a very admirable fellow, personality-wise).

You will love forever Brian.Brenda and Keith you treated him terribly

It would have been something beautiful if they added Mick Taylor which did lift it all to another level.. and on the left 20% of the stage Brian Jones surrounded by a crowd of multiple instruments to add that special thing that disappeared from Pop/Rock Records by 1968-69. Can you imagine it ? The addition of Mick Taylor to Jagger Richards Jones Wyman & Watts..in heaven.

Its good that Bill is still around to talk about Brian Jones and to not let him be forgotten. Hats off to you Bill. Won't hear it from Mick or keith.

Bill Wyman was the only one who gave the deserved credit to Brian, Richards was jealous of Brian and berated him even after his death. Because he himself was shy and unsure of himself he didn’t like the attention Brian got.

Valla ! Hasta que sacaron el Anuncio con el que Brian reclutó a los músicos para formar a su banda... Los Rolling Stones !!! Aunque con la siguiente aclaración. Ese anuncio no fue el original. El original aparece publicado en el Libro que Bill Wyman editó. Así que... NO JONES, NO STONES !

Btw, the DVD for The Stones & Brian Jones documentary will be out February 13. It's available for pre-order on Amazon.

Bill is the only one who honors Brian. Of course he got most of the fan mail. He was far better looking than Mick or Keith.

Lo darán en Argentina este documental? Soy admirador de Brian y de Bill. Amo los Stones del periodo 63-68. Para mi, luego de ese período los Stones fueron una gran banda, pero sin Brian, se acabó la magia. Saludios!

"In 1966, I witnessed, on numerous occasions, the remarkable spell Brian would cast while working in the recording studio. Mick and Keith would bring songs in, Brian would listen and effectively take charge, and everyone was in awe of him. He was a real perfectionist. While recording the recorder part in Ruby Tuesday he explained to me that he had to do it over again as he had been a quarter tone off tune."--Prince Stash Klossowski de Rola (artist and friend of the Stones) in Brian Jones: Butterfly in the Park.

How interesting!

Any idea of when it will be out in the US?

It would be amazing if living members would confess what happen between early managers and Brian Jones. Brian was a stone in their shoe. Brian tried to get the best deal and conniving managers gossiping that Brian was taking a lion’s share of the band’s money. After knocking Brian out the picture… the band was taken for a ride by the “music industry” 🤧🤧. Broke and couldn’t even clear a check. Will they get it through their fried heads that they were taken advantage of by everyone but Brian, or are they afraid they’ll wind up in a pool?

How to watch in North America?

IMHO Brian Jones was THE most talented one in the group. Played so many instruments and so super creative. It's sad that he was squeezed out of the band he started, sure makes you really curious as to what really happened between him, Keith and Mick.

Toute cette période est très romantique

55 years without Brian Jones💔😭 BJ 2/28/1942 - 7/3/1969

Brian Jones Forever

Know Brian Jones, know the Rolling Stones. No Brian Jones, no Rolling Stones... You may quote me on that!

what is the name of the song that's playing in the background? Thanks!

Keith likes to tell the story that he rescued Anita from Brian, like a knight in shining armour, which he describes in his book. However, it is said in this new documentary that Anita had enough of looking after Brian who was not taking care of himself so, she moved from Brian's bed to Keith's. There was no hope for Brian once Keith & Anita became an item.

I liked his song on documentary love the programme. When they subtitled keith at end tho, it says..you cock..and he was saying…cock…like cocka, northern. I’m pedantic ok?! Also I liked Brian’s song

No Jones ... No Stones!

People haven't considered their trademark "name" was a matter of contention with Jones and band. Allegedly Jones hired a soliciter in mid 69 to squash the group from using the name on that historic fall tour of 69.

0:21 so insanely pretty

The new documentary "The Stones and Brian Jones" is now available on streaming! :D

Brian was the cute guy in the band. There's always at least one. I had no idea, he had actually put the band, TOGETHER. Drugs took a toll on the World of Rock.. he was a way too early victem..

Merci pour BRIAN ✨ a Bill wiman, bassiste des rolling stones.

No Brian Jones, no Stones.

“The band is really an amalgamation of two bands. The one being an R&B band I formed about a year ago, and the other being a group run by Mick and Keith in S.E. London. I was introduced to Keith and we decided to pool our resources, so with Stu from my band, and Mick from Keith’s we became the nucleus of the ‘Stones.’” -- Brian Jones 1963 Brian was the "fake founder" Jones never "founded" anything...Ha ha ha ha ha ha

The original “Mick Jagger”

❤

godstar! godstar! and where were your laughing friends, where were they in the very end they started to steal your glory, they never even told your story the ma*onic sacrifice. bad people holmes

Heck yeah

Brain Jones die Nr. 1 der Rolling Stones. Kein Brain - keine Stones. Die Rolling Stones sind jetzt nur noch ein Konzern. Brain Jones, der Schöne hätte einen Sir verdient.

Brian got 'f++ked over by Jagger and Richards.

Not only Stones Brian was also founder of the 27 club.

Bill Wyman has no clue how the other members of the Stones got together with the possible exception of how Charlie Watts became a member. Bill was there for that in January 1963. Brian and Ian joined Keith's band The Blues Boys in May of 1962 and Bill did not join until eight months later in mid December. Bill is the sole source of the stories about Brian forming the band, auditioning all the members, choosing who he wanted in his band and leading the band to play the blues. He is the only source of the lie that Keith and Mick answered Brians advert in the Jazz News to start an R&B band. It is all lies and they have been told and retold so many times by journalists , book writers, gossipy magazine editors, movie voiceovers and anyone else who will listen to his poppycock and fantasies about which he hasn't a clue, that these stories have become myths and legends about how the band was started by Brian alone. It is not true. The fact is that , yes , Ian was the only one who answered Brian's advert who wanted to play R&B music and Brian had no band. The Blues Boys were an established band with Jagger Richards, bass player Dick Taylor and several successive drummers that were founded seven months before. Brian liked the way they played blues music and he appealed to Keith to let he and Ian join Keith's band and Keith agreed. Read Brian's letter to the head of their fan club written in early 1963 about how the band was formed; *“The band is really an amalgamation of two bands. The one being an R&B band I formed about a year ago, and the other being a group run by Mick and Keith in S.E. London. I was introduced to Keith and we decided to pool our resources, so with Stu from my band, and Mick from Keith’s we became the nucleus of the ‘Stones.’”* --Brian Jones 1963 The " group run by Mick and Keith in S.E. London" was Keith's band, The Blue Boys, who after Brian joined them changed their name to the Rolling Stones, prior to their debut at the Marquee Club in Soho. Dick Taylor was still playing bass for the Rolling Stones and Chapman was playing drums at that, their first performance as the Rolling Stones. When all that happened Bill was across town playing bass for the Cliftons and he had no knowledge of what was happening in Keith's band, The Blue Boys. Everything Wyman tells everyone who interviews him about the early Stones are made up fantastic lies. He wasn't a member, though he likes to let writers think he was, and he just wasn't there.

If it was Brian's band how could the other two imposters throw him out?

❤❤❤

The blues: happy sad.

Here's Bill Wyman paying tribute to Jimmy Savile - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/guCKlbuj0bK6d2w.html

dude sure could play some barre chords...lol

Godstar

Nae Jones nae stones

The truth, that's all.

Bill has a reputation now of lying about how the band was formed and who formed it. He was not a member for another eight months AFTER Brian joined Keith's band the Blue Boys so he had no information of what happened while he wasn't there. Everything he says about Mick and Keith going to Brian to answer his advert and auditioning for him and then Brian "choosing them" from some imaginary pool of applicants is pure hogwash fantasy. The only musician who answered Brian's advert who wanted to play R&B music was Ian Stewart. The stories Bill tells about how Brian choose the music that they played is also a lie. The Blue Boys were a blues band before Brian joined them and the Muddy Waters tune Rollin' Stone Blues was in fact a part of their play list BEFORE Brian joined. . Brian had promised when he joined that he could get them gigs because he knew all the club owners, but when he couldn't deliver more than a few they had to look elsewhere for proper management... "Brian wanted to be a band leader, that is to say he wanted to lead a band, but he just wasn't very good at it." ---Charlie Watts. When they found out Brian was still taking 5 pounds more payment than the rest of them , supposedly for "leading the band" long after he stopped trying to get gigs, it understandably infuriated them and they never trusted Brian again. They should have fired him then for his greed and dishonesty. Brian liked the music Keith's band was playing and he liked the way they performed it so he asked Keith if he and Ian could join and Keith agreed. Brian not only did NOT found the Stones ...He wasn't even a founding member of the band that BECAME the Stones. The Blue Boys had been founded by Mick, Keith and Dick Taylor the original Stones bass player seven months before Brian asked to join. The film relies heavily of Bill Wyman to talk about the early Stones. I do not believe a word he says. He has an agenda and honesty is NOT part of it. “The band is really an amalgamation of two bands. The one being an R&B band I formed about a year ago, and the other being a group run by Mick and Keith in S.E. London. I was introduced to Keith and we decided to pool our resources, so with Stu from my band, and Mick from Keith’s we became the nucleus of the ‘Stones.’” --- Brian Jones 1963 "Stu Is a nickname for pianist Ian Stewart and the " group run by Mick and Keith in S.E. London" was the Blue Boys, Keith's band that Brian joined and shortly after changed their name to the Rolling Stones.

WHO KILLED BRIAN JONES ? Mick Jagger or Keith Richards ???

They killed Brian.

“Brian did everything…” except he didn’t sing and couldn’t write songs.

Yeah, Brian started the band but Jagger and Richards wrote the hits that put them on the map. Otherwise, they would have remained a Blues Cover band. And a Jagger and Richards weren’t going to take a back seat especially since they wrote all the songs. That was Jones downfall. He was a great player but he didn’t write original songs or sing. And since the Glimmer Twins wanted to be the co leaders once Jones became unreliable they kicked him out and he was in a free fall of drugs and lost. Wyman was his only friend in the band. He really couldn’t help him. Jagger and Richards really wanted Jones off the stage and out the picture and they got their wish finally. And Richards confronted Jones once and said you want to lead the group? Fine. Let’s hear some new songs. And Jones had no songs so that shut him up. He ended up a sideman in his own band afterwards. He was done.

Bill Wyman is full of crap. The Rolling Stones were NEVER Brian's band. The Rolling Stones and their predecessor, The Blue Boys, were ALWAYS Keith's band.

Keith's band ...always was ...always will be... Jones just wasn't very talented . Lots of hype from prepubescent teenage girls who loved his fluffy blonde hair, but he never delivered the goods as far as music goes.. Just a poser.

All lies.

Jones was the most expendable member of the Rolling Stones. They got much bigger and better after they fired his drunken ass.

SO looking forward to this. Love ya Nick.
