I remember Charlie saying about Brian he was an asshole, this was decades after Brian died. That book they co wrote, barely mentions Brian or Bill. I think, since Mick has been reaching out more now, at his age you start going to friends funerals. Old arguments seem less important. Bill playing on the last album supports that.

Brian was the musical alchemist in the Stones. Both Brian and Bill should have received credits as songwriters or cowriters for Songs like Ruby Tuesday, Jumpin Jack Flash, Child of the Moon or some of Their Satanic Majesties Request! Marianne Faithfull for example is on record saying she heard Brisn play the melody of Ruby Tuesday a whole year before it was recorded! Thanks again to Bill for standing up for Brian❤

Mick and Keith took credit for every song. I believe if you are part of the creation of a song in the studio you should probably get some kind of credit even if it’s a small credit. Mick Taylor certainly deserved that much for his brilliant playing on the Stones albums during his tenure with them.

Mick Taylor was another one who was treated like 💩💩 by Jagger and Richards. Brian Jones wasn't known as a composer but he DID do the soundtrack for the German film with Anita Pallenberg which name I can't remember. One of Jones' riffs ( I forget which song ) was based on a piece by John Dowland the Elizabethan lute composer. Jones' mother was a classical music teacher and his father was an enthusiastic amateur. Blues was something he discovered by himself. It was the music business, drugs and probably weak character that destroyed Brian Jones. Keith Richards tries to be very dismissive of Brian Jones in his book, underplays his influence and talent. Richards was known to be very jealous of people more talented than himself, playing wise, as Mick Taylor discovered. Pallenberg dumped Jones and set up with Richards. She later made HIS life hell with her drug and alcoholic rages. She completely demolished several hotel rooms while Richards cowered in the corner. It's all in his book, Life. So there was SOME Karma there. Richards described Anita as a female Hitler who wanted to take everything down with her like the last act of Götterdämerung. The split certainly unbalanced Jones, although to be fair he was pretty unbalanced to start with. So like the teacher in South Park said : Remember kids. Drugs are BAD.

One reason he left the Stones was that he didn't receive songwriter credits for his songs like "Moonlight Mile" or "Sway" 😮 Mick Taylor composed the music, Mick Jagger the words. But the credits read Jagger-Richards

Brian took the stage and introduced the Jimi Hendrix Experience at the Monterey pop festival in June, 1967. Brian and Jimi would have made an interesting collaboration had they been so inclined.

“Had Brian Jones not taken his guitar to this cellar bar…impressed Alexis Korner with his playing, relocated to London and formed The Rolling Stones, the world’s cultural history would have been very different. There would have been no pop industry as we know it today, with its ever present musical acknowledgment of the influence of the blues. The pentatonic minor scale, which can be heard ad infinitum on countless electric guitar tracks recorded over the last six decades, would probably rarely be heard. And countless young people who came of age in the 1960s, including this writer, would never have become fascinated by a sound originally created by the descendants of black slaves in the Americas.”-John Phillpott, Blues in Britain, 2024

Even 55 years after his untimely death, Brian Jones is still missed. His influence on the early Stones is undisputed. With his contribution to the music of the Stones, he remains immortal, even if the authorship belongs to the others.

Those early songs like She's a Rainbow, Ruby Tuesday, Lady Jane, Paint it Black have Brian Jones' mark on them. I'm not saying he wrote them. Officially they were Jagger / Richards, but so was everything they produced. They recently revisited one of those early songs. I saw it on YT. Richards tried his best but it just didn't sound the same as when Jones was playing. Not by a long shot. Richards in his book says that Jones was washed up and finished and death was inevitable. It isn't what many other people say. I'm saying nothing about Jones ' death. This isn't the appropriate place. But the tragedy is he died so young. He had so much more to give. Personally I think he should have gone in another direction altogether and left rock and blues behind. I'm thinking folk and folk rock. The British bands emerging in the late sixties and early seventies included Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Lindisfarne and others. Later Gryphon and when Ashley Hutchings left Fairport Convention, the Albion Band. Brian Jones certainly had the instrumental chops for that kind of music. It was never to be. Even Bill Wyman left the Stones. Richards wrote snotty comments about Wyman "leaving the world's greatest rock band to open a chip shop". Sticky Fingers is actually an upmarket hamburger joint with lots of Stones memorabilia but let that pass. As a side line when not flipping burgers, Wyman founded Bill Wyman 's The Rhythm Kings who are brilliant and probably totally unknown in America. He has / had people like Georgie Fame and Albert Lee jamming along on various numbers. They'd never fill a stadium in the Midwest of course but who cares ?

Brian Jones was a very versatile and talented musician. Perhaps he can be criticised for having breadth but little depth. That may be true but certainly his experimentation with marimba, sitars, melotrons, recorders etc gave many of the early Stones songs their unique sound that only HE could. Had he lived I'm certain whatever direction he decided to go, it would have been fascinating. And it's true that Richards and Pallenberg both became very badly addicted to heroin. There's a scene in the Brian Jones biopic Stoned where Anita Pallenberg says to Jones, " Me and Keith can handle the drugs. You can't. You just go to pieces ". Well they certainly didn't handle the drugs in subsequent years. Pallenberg went dangerously psychotic and Richards had many cold turkey cures with subsequent relapses. They weren't as cool as they imagined themselves.

Bill Wyman, great bass player, and interesting to interview.

BTW, Keef has stated Ry Cooder played slide on "No Expectations" but he has become an unreliable narrator, mostly by virtue of his fact challenged autobiogaraphy "Life" and the attempt by the Glimmers to erase the very existence of Brian for over half a century. This is an informative tribute to the essence of The Rolling Stones but wished it contained Brian's iconic riff from "The Last Time" while his playing of the Mellotron and electric dulcimer on "2000 Light Years From Home" provides the spacey and spooky mood of the track. After hearing the Japanese remastered SACD of "Their Satanic Majesties Request" with Brian's contributions evident throughout if "Sing This All Together..." had been replaced with "We Love You" the LP would now be considered a psychedelic masterpiece. Brian became less and less happy with the group's musical direction and the original frontman was intentionally being pushed further and further to a lowers status by their gay manager Andrew Loog Oldham. His sexual preference is stated since it's another area of potential conflict. Take "Satisfaction" for example. On the official release, Brian's accoustic rhythm guitar is barely audible while Stu's piano is nearly non-existent. This track was recorded at Chess Studios and an official stereo recording exists only available in Germany and Japan on CD at one time. It's properly mixed with Keef's fuzz prominent and Brian's and Stu's playing clearly audible on the other channel. It's preferrable to the official release but even when ABKCO released a stereo version in 2002 on SACD, the wrong mix was used. No Jones No Stones!

Well that's a shame because A. Although it was recorded in July 1968, it wasn't released until 1971. By that time, George Harrison had already been "presenting" world music all the way back to REVOLVER and SGT.PEPPER with "Love You To" and "Within You Without You" respectively. I mean, his move to pick up the Sitar and get it recorded for Western audiences is unprecedented to start with. It makes him one of the most important Western composers in Music History. Because his peers and predecessors all IMITATED the instruments of the East, but never performed on them. They invented a brand new instrument because of George Harrison! The Electric Sitar. How many instruments have to be INVENTED to accommodate a musician's impact on culture?? B. What is that classification "World Music"? Is it "White Person Presents Music of Other Coloured Peoples to Other White People?" Is this the criteria? It seems to be in the presentation "first world music release." Pop Star Goes Native. Then again, George Harrison already did that in 1966. There's barely any other Beatle on some of his tracks in this period. It's Indian musicians and his presentation of the West on the East. But he did it again in 1968 with the recording and release of WONDERWALL MUSIC. Because that's "World Music" there too. A hybrid of East & West in fact. Brian Jones is most definitely integral in World Music terms, but pretending like George Harrison doesn't exist to favour that position, doesn't do you any favours. It discredits your point. @rPup

The Nanker Phelge group composition credit was dispensed with very early on, for obvious reasons: it didn't make Jagger and Richards look like the only brains of the outfit. "Play with Fire" was the first truly great Stones composition, and the Glimmers didn't want further songs of that caliber being credited to the entire band (particularly not to Jones, who played a significant role in the sound of "Play with Fire"). They demanded all of the glory and all of the royalties. By the time "Ruby Tuesday" was recorded, they had established their monopoly and there was no danger of Jones being credited as a co-writer--despite the fact that he obviously *had* contributed to the song.

Don't think the video quite makes the case for Jones as a songwriter. He certainly contributed ideas and instrumental colors to the Stones original music, but he was in a band with two powerhouse creators and was unable to assert himself that way. If he had genuine writing talent I think he would have done it. On the other hand, I've never heard what seems to be Brian demo-ing an original song in the video, and that was intriguing. Wonder why there wasn't more comment on that. Interesting point was made about Brian's marimba on Under My Thumb representing a sensitive, feminine counterpoint to the lyric. But the video will be misleading to those who don't know the full story. He was sensitive, but he was also a divided soul who fathered and then ignored a number of children and was known to be quite physically abusive to his female partners.

Obviously you know very little about his history. Before he lived the "posh overindulgence life of a millionaire rock star" or rather before ANY OF THEM did, they lived in a poorly furnished disgustingly grotty flat in Edith Grove. They were penniless for a very long time. They had no money to feed themselves let alone children. When success came it came quite suddenly and then they were on the road. One year they did 300 plus shows in one year. Travelling in vans sleeping where they could then gigs. Usually one a day. They were making money. For Andrew Loog Oldham. Later for Decca. They were hardly millionaires. They were slaves of the record label. Jones had his faults. Of course he did. But a millionaire lifestyle, hardly. Like many bands of that era, there was a huge income in record sales, of which they saw very little as CASH. Sure, they could buy things for which management paid. That included Cotchford Farm where Jones died. But to say he was Howard Hughes is plain stupid. The Stonrd were effectively bankrupt in 1971/2, yet they owed the UK exchequer millions in earnings they'd never seen. By that stage Jones was dead. Later on Richards and Jagger met Prince (?) Loewenstein a very well connected financier and fan who helped them get on top of their finances. The stadium tours of the seventies weren't because of love if stadiums. They were about money. Pure and simple. That's when they really became seriously rich. And they had their OWN label by then. Their sixties catalogue doesn't even belong to them. It's the property of ABKCO Allen B Klein corporation. Their manager agent parasite fixer. He helped them make money, but they signed away their music. At least up to that time. Jones was sexually incontinent. There's no doubt about that. He wasn't alone. There were many others like him in that era. That included trysts with underage girls. Very common in the seventies. Immature and confused, he was. A psychopath, I very much doubt it.

I really like your perspective on Under My Thumb and your descriptions of what he contributed to the songs you mention here. Two things though. First off it has been proven that the Hendrix tape Bill claims has Brian on it is in fact Dave Mason. Look it up. Secondly Ruby Tuesday was inspired by Linda Keith who had a relationship with both Brian and Kieth. As far as I know Tuesday Weld played no part in it though that's an intriguing idea. Lastly I enjoyed your video but it would be much cooler with human narration

Very true. It was Dave Mason and not Brian on sitar with Noel Redding singing,

BRIAN JONES and MICK TAYLOR both had alot to do with the creation of certain songs but everything was credited to JAGGER-RICHARDS. that's just how it was in THE STONES. GEORGE HARRISON also had a very big hand in the creation of many BEATLES songs but the credit always went to LENNON-McCARTNEY.

They did not mention him playing on "Lady Jane"

Brian should have had song writing credit for Under My Thumb along with Mick and Keith.

Whatever they thought of Brian, without him the Stones wouldn't have ever even exsisted! His work was done by 1969, and it was a shame. But that's the truth. Mick would be a banker or something or maybe a teacher. Keith I'm not sure what he would have done. Bill & Charlie would have happily gone back to their old lives. Models and young women wouldnt fancy them. Brian opened doors from them that werent open before.

He’s supposed to have written part of the music with Keith to Ruby Tuesday. Marianne Faithful claims she heard him come up with an early version of the melody. Jagger admits he didn’t write it. The other thing to mention is that i don’t think Brian cared about credits. There’s the story about Eight Miles High too but I don’t think he had much to do with it.

They did not go to his funeral ..and how did mick's girlfriend hang herself on a door knob when she was over 6ft tall there's a lot of dark odd stuff

He played all those unique parts and sounds on Beggars Banquet.. for the last time and without credit...starting their best era.

@@TheaterPup Excuse me. I think that you need to explore what was going on with world music in the 1940s and 1950s. No, Brian was not the father of world music. Rock people, I think live in their own category, without loking outside it. Then then give these sweeping praises like Hendrix was the greatest guitarist (when in fact, Hendrix was amongst the most creative guitarists, but his chops didn't come near to the jazz guys.) Undertanding that world music was around is as simple as looking at Bossa Nova, Carmen Miranda, Tito Puente, etc. Think of all of the latin stuff that was popular. Of course there was world music around before Brian Jones. Don't be ridiculous.

According to Jann S. Wenner's book, Lennon Remembers, John Lennon and Brian Jones struck up a friendship. They often met up and talked about music with other artists in London. He also believed that Jones was better at the harmonica than himself Jones and Hendrix were allegedly planning to secretly break-away from their respective groups to form a supergroup, with none other than John Lennon and Alexis Korner in 1969. A few months prior to his death, The Rolling Stones guitarist reportedly told Nicholas Fitzgerald: “Towards the end of last year, four musicians made a trial recording for Apple, The Beatles’ label. They played under the group name of Balls. One of them was John Lennon and one of them was me. The other two swore me to secrecy, so I can’t tell you about them, except to say one was a lead guitar and the other was a drummer. We recorded one track called ‘Go to the Mountains’.

He had the Steve almond spirit of the height era increased into him by a fully looking wind pier at the hollow. So in contrast to the root and narrow show one would stand a knock trail at the show destination major.

I think it’s silly to celebrate the success of Red Rooster. Just because it went to number one on Monday. I think almost any Rolling Stones might have had a chance at number one at that moment in history. And moreover, if they followed it up with more of that style, I suspect they would have slidden into obscurity... Most of the mid-sixties blues British thing was dull and had a righteous hit-you-over-the-head thing IMO..(although I suppose guys gave it a certain cred just like the folkies liked acoustic folk of early Dylan.) PS I love red Rooster btw.

All the girls screaming for Brian Jones, Brenda and werzel so jealous

Its only Mick and Keith who had issues with Brian. Everybody else seemed to revere him. He was a bright young flower who wasn't allowed to blossom in that group. A power struggle followed and he got the boot. Had he not been murdered he would've gone onto great things and developed as a songwriter. He always had it in him but sadly it was never to be.

I feel that both the Stones and the Who were far more interesting in the 1960's than the coked up junkie bores they became later. The Who tried to be Pink Floyd and got lost in their attempt to write 'concept LPs. Their truly great era was gone. Both bands were eclipsed by the stronger Led Zeppelin which explains their sad bitterness about them (See Pete and Keith's 'comments', talk about bitter and jealous. Brian had that desire for the new and like Syd and Brian Wilson their departures took so much. Even the Floyd took half a decade to get back to doing vital original work ('Meddle' +) but unlike the other two bands they did reinvent themselves and came back even stronger unlike the other nostalgia act bands.

It's strange how AMERICAN white teenagers were introduced to BLACK AMERICAN blues by WHITE English Boys. The Stones largely, 🇬🇧 but there were other British blues based bands. 😀 The famous British blues exponent was Alexis Korner at whose house Brian Jones shacked up and slept on the floor. There were many others who hung out with Korner. I think Jimmy Page may have been one of them. The spiritual home of the British blues which later evolved into rock was the Royal Borough of Richmond upon Thames including Twickenham. The old Eel Pie Island Hotel 🏨 on a pedestrian only islet in the Thames was a famous venue for fledgeling bands in the early sixties including the Stones, the Yardbirds and Black Sabbath, that I know of. The old hotel is long gone because of fire 🔥. I believe there is now a plaque near the footbridge about British rock / blues birthplace, although it's years since I was last there.

Interestingly, according to Brian's girlfriend, Brian never played Rolling Stone records on his home record player. He played a lot of The Beatles albums. Brian recognized the musicality of The Beatles, and that shows that Brian had an interest in things that had melody. His composition Ruby Tuesday (in combination with that simple, but catchy recorder flute part) showed Brian's interest in melody. After Brian died, some of that musicality disappeared from the The Rolling Stone's music. Although Brian's music wasn't complex, it was melodic, and catchy. The Beatles had three writers. So, did The Rolling Stones, when Brian was there. They lost one third of their writing ability with Brian's death. They should have just gotten Brian into rehab, and got him psycologicaly help, and put him on a temporary hiatus. He could have come back and added a lot. He was another causualy of the very stupid trendy use of drugs.

If only The Stones wouldn't have kept Brian down, they could have really been one of the greatest bands of all time. 😂

Appears Mick is trying in more ways than one to dilute the water about Brian and his true talent.

4:10 Das hört sich gut an... Es hat etwas von "In Another Land". Aber nicht im psychedelischen sinn, sondern eher als wenn The Who mit Brian da gearbeitet hätten.

Most of the best stuff were beacause of brians contributions imo.... Most talented out of them all. An artist, like many great geniuses they go crazy, cause really everone eles is stupid, they cannot deal with it & go mad.

I always found it hard to believe that the guy, Brian Jones, who brought a background of true musical ability to the band going back to his childhood, NEVER contributed to ANY of the Stones' melodies? I have ALWAYS found that hard to believe. He never received one writing credit from 1963 to 1969. Really?
