I knew Brian Jones. We were both in Form 2S in Cheltenham Grammar School. He was 11 and I was 10 when we first joined the school. We were both in the school orchestra so I can legitimately say that I performed on stage with him.

Brian Jones truly worked hard to achieve and attain all his success and I so admire him! I'm 64 years old now and Brian is and always will be my all-time favourite Rolling Stone!

@@AdrianaLaCerva126 I'll never forget July 4,1969. My family and my late cousin Julio's family, celebrated Independence Day at Hansen Dam Park in Lakeview Terrace, CA. It was a blistering hot day as we barbecued and enjoyed the lake. I was 11 years old. My late brother Anthony, Julio and I decided to go across the street to buy some Ice Cream and Soda Pop. As we entered, I walked to read the newspaper and was staggered as I read the headline, and I'm paraphrasing, which said something like "Rolling Stone Drowns In Pool Tragedy". I shouted to my brother, "Hey Tony, I think Mick Jagger drowned in his pool!" As I read the article, I learned it was Brian, my favorite Stone, who drowned! I was so deeply saddened! I couldn't believe it! I was unaware that Jones was no longer a Rolling Stone and that he had been ousted from the Group! As we left the picnic, I asked my Dad if he would take us by "White's Record Store" in my neighborhood of Pacoima, CA. I was surprised to see Mr. White opened being it was Independence Day but was a Friday. I asked Mr. White if he heard the shocking news and he said that it was terrible. I was stunned when he said that The Rolling Stones had just released a new Single that very day! That Single was Honky Tonk Woman b/w You Can't Always Get What You Want on London Records. As I look back, I realize that is one of the reasons Mr. White opened that day because of The Stones' new Singles release. I went home and spun that record endlessly thinking of Brian and realizing he was no longer with us. It was an event that is seared in my mind. R.I.P. LEWIS BRIAN HOPKIN JONES

“I always used to see Brian in the clubs and hang out with him. In the mid-Sixties he used to come out to my house - particularly when he’d got ‘the fear’, when he’d mixed too many weird things together. I’d hear his voice shouting to me from out in the garden: 'George, George…’ I’d let him in - he was a good mate. He would always come round to my house in the sitar period. We talked about 'Paint It Black’ and he picked up my sitar and tried to play it - and the next thing was he did that track. We had a lot in common, when I think about it. […] I think he related to me a lot, and I liked him. Some people didn’t have time for him, but I thought he was one of the most interesting ones.” - George Harrison

Nice quote about Brian from George! I've always thought that he and Brian had a lot in common, and had similar positions in their respective groups, with both being underappreciated by the four more dominant members of both groups (Lennon/McCartney in the Beatles, Jagger/Richards in the Stones). When George Harrison died, Keith Richards was asked for his reaction, and he said in part that he felt a closeness to George because, in his words, they held similar positions in their respective groups, which I think was total BS. If anybody in the Beatles is comparable to Richards role in the Stones, it would have been Lennon.

Imagine being kicked out of The Rolling Stones for doing too much junk... You would think that's humanly impossible. The Stones themselves have repeatedly admitted drugs affected their work process significantly, and not in a good way. I think either the rest of the band hadn't yet started doing so much junk or maybe there were other communication issues. Probably both. If I recall correctly, Jones was missing rehearsals or was underperforming, according to the other Stones. I know from experience that you can't help an addict who doesn't want to be helped, but damn, when an addict dies, especially such a talented o special person, you kinda wish they had forced him to get clean even if it meant kidnapping him and doing other illegal stuff like imprisoning him. But, of course, realistically speaking, even that wouldn't work out; they would go back to consuming, maybe even harder the first time after being sober, thus risking an OD.

Young Julian was an absolute double of his dad, even down to the helmet-style mop of blonde hair! A genius, but like many such, not always loved by those closest to him.

He was born February 28, 1943, and I was born on February 25, 1943, and he was with Mick and Keith and I was with John and Paul in the groups, so there was a sort of understanding between the two of us. The positions were similar, and I often seemed to meet him in his times of trouble. There was nothing the matter with him that a little extra love wouldn’t have cured.

@ Mauro Antonio I know this was written 3 years ago but may I also add that given Brian's musical knowledge, his industry connections, his music composing and producing plus what he had achieved thus far with The Pipes of Pan and soundtrack to A Degree of Murder, he was onto greater things as a producer. I recently watched the old clip where he was asked to review American music and records at the time in 1966... He was spot on in all his predictions. Every one. What an incredible music producer he would have been. I've read this already, but given his musicality and genious ability to introduce and play any instrument to complement a song, he would have been another George Martin.

Its true. He wasn't like anybody else!

Brian Jones was a huge influence on me ever since my childhood,in fact the first album I ever bought was in 1966 at 12 years old I bought "December's Children (and everybody's)".He played a very large part in my decision to become a musician.Even then I knew that Brian was the founder/leader of the Stones and was astute enough to realize that he was the most musically gifted.I was crushed when Brian died so needlessly and mysteriously and my disdain for Mick and Keef grew to gargantuan proportions.I only bought 2 Stones albums after Brian's death,"Stick Fingers" and "Goats Head Soup" their albums just didn't have any impact on me any more.What galls me most since his death besides Jagger and Richards lack of acknowledgement of his contribution was that they tried to rewrite history and still do by claiming that the Stones was their baby and that they did Brian a huge favour by taking him aboard.This is pure B.S. ,Brian placed ads in London and British music publications that he was giving auditions at the Bricklayers Arms in Soho with hopes of forming a rhythm and blues band.He was impressed with Mick's singing and his stage presence but saw no place for Keef in the band because his playing wasn't up to Brian's high standards,it wasn't until Mick refused to join without Keef that Brian-quite reluctantly-took him in.I literally became nauseated when I bought Richards' "Life" (at a ridiculously low price-otherwise it would've stayed in the shop)and saw that he was perpetuating his fabricated story of how the Stones came to be.How these 2 bastards have the unmitigated gall to continue that fairytale of how the Stones came to be is beyond me-especially when you realize that anyone who was alive and living in Britain-especially London-at that time,knew full well that the band was originally "Brian Jones and His Rollin' (sic) Stones".Please forgive the rant but whenever I get the chance to tell the real story of how the Stones came to be and expose Jagger and Richards as the perfidious,back-stabbing opportunists they really are, I just have to go for it-they have been putting on a charade of playing real nice rock stars for far too long.They should get on their knees every morning and thank God for having Brian Jones come into their miserable lives-they wouldn't have had near the success they had if it had not been for Brian-a true musical genius.

You're still living in our souls Brian . From Tangier , Morocco , we 'll never forget you ☆♡☆♡☆

Brian had a musician's natural gift on any instrument he chose to work with. What he didn't have was the gift of songwriting as The Glimmer Twins had. He may have started the band but he would never have made it become anything on his own. Like it or not, from the get-go it was Mick and Keith's band. THEY are the ones who turned the Stones into the iconic juggernaut it still is today. And Brian, tragically, chose the path that led to his untimely passing. But there's no doubt his touch on the early incarnation of the band is noticeable and different from the later phases. The Stones are a great band, with and without Brian. But his contributions to the first years are indelible. RIP, Brian Jones.

@@mikebarooshian7255 yup. That’s what I say, and everybody on the internet tears me down for it. It’s nice to meet someone else with the intelligence to know that not only was it Brian’s band but it was Brian’s incredible talent and great ear that made the early Stones songs sound like the Stones and nobody else. He was an extraordinarily talented multi-instrumentalist, and he could hear things in those songs that nobody else could.. eg, can you imagine Paint It Black *without* the sitar in the intro? That was Brian. After they ditched Brian it was Gram Parsons and Mick Taylor who took them into a US influenced country rock direction. When Mick Taylor quit and Gram was dead it was John Lennon who got Mick into blue-eyed soul, funk.. then when Ronnie Wood came on board they just became very commercial and basically started their lives as the world’s best Rolling Stones cover band…. None of which could have been remotely possible without Brian Jones.

To the Brian haters, he was a friend to many of his contemporary bands. He was a respected musician, also a producer and composer. Look it up. He also was the first and only Stone to play on a Beatles track. He played sax on You Know My Name. “[John] was disgusted and really, really pissed off that Brian had died the way that he did, thinking it was a terrible waste.”

Brian was also the leader of this band without a doubt until Satisfaction written by Jagger&Richards in 1965. Since then Jagger has been the leader.

Rolling Stones bass guitarist Bill Wyman said of Jones, "He formed the band. He chose the members. He named the band. He chose the music we played. He got us gigs. ... he was very influential, very important, and then slowly lost it - highly intelligent - and just kind of wasted it and blew it all away."

Dries Van Dongen Must have been. Not in the beginning. When Anita Pallenburg came into the picture it changed him. I've watched old interviews of Brian & he seemed sensitive & almost shy. Not aggressive like the glimmer twins. So sad he must have been murdered. The police never made a real investigation either. Very strange. Such a great musician. I believe he would've had many more accomplishments if he had lived.

without *Jones* no *Stones*

as much as I like Ronnie, when I first heard the Stones on the radio, it was Brian on guitar !

He had it all, the ingenuity, the vision, the talent, the personality. The rest, although talented, pimped off this to a degree.

The first and the best original stone ... !!!

This track grows and hangs on you like an overcoat !..Amazing .. !..Timeless stuff

This song suites him perfectly

It is really amazing how Brian put his stamp of approval on so many cool Guitars! Brian looked the coolest playing the Gibson Firebird! When I was a boy in '65, my brother, cousin and I would go record shopping, and I would stand there transfixed looking at Brian on Rolling Stones album covers! He was and still is mesmerizing to look at! My all-time favourite is the "Out Of Our Heads" album cover pic of Brian crouched down in front of the other Stones who are standing. In America it was released as "December's Children (and Everybody's)." Later on, I would trip on how cool Brian and Anita Pallenberg would project in magazines! They were truly the coolest British 60s Pop/Rock couple!

Sacrificed for fame

Wow, one of the best videos ever. Made me cry.

What a fucking great beautiful , montage and tribute to Brian Jones, a picture certainly does tell a beautiful story , not one word uttered by Brian, but all the charisma captured in his face. But the most telling thing is, that montage, more than ANYTHING ELSE, proves why he and Mick could NOT survive in the same band . Brian was always the MORE CREATIVE musically than Mick, Lets Spend The Night ... Would of been their best song if the hippie consciousness and Beggers and the next 4 Stones albums didn't happen, and Brian inspired Lets Spend the .... But Brian's clothes, persona , mischievousness , musical talent was clearly to much for Mick, who Kieth sided with , for his own reasons, we will never know , maybe Brian could take MORE HARD DRUGS than Kieth, and Mick, being cleaner, was more of a different character, and made Kieth look more rebellious , where as , Brian made Kieth look more conservative, we will never know. What I'm pissed about, like Hendrix and Morrison, he left us at the peak of his genius, oh shitty Shitty , Shitty. At least he gave us the Stones in the first place, or his love for American black blues and Jimmy Reed did. Everyone saying the Kinks song is sweet, but '' Let's Spend The Night .... '' would of bed a lot better, it's Brian's through and through. Or '' Stray Cat Blues '' along with Jumping Jack their two quintessential ROCK songs and my favorite. They were also the last songs Brian had any REAL input in, as well as their BEST album '' Beggers .... It's no coincidence his parting gift to the WORLD was making '' Beggers .... the best Rock album ever made.

I named my garden Brian in remember rememberace of Brian the first stone I think he was amazing RIP Brian thank you for sharing the video 📷

Great video. No Jones no stones cause he’s not like everybody else,

This is a sweet, sentimental tribute to Brian Jones,, I first saw Brian performing on stage with the Rolling Stones on 26 feb 1966 at the Palais Theatre in St. Kilda, Melb., Victoria,.. Love this Kinks Song , suitably befitting Brian Jones.... R.I.P. BRIAN JONES...

R.I.P. Brian Jones. You were a cool person.

Poor Brian... he had so much talent! He’s still and always will be missed. He ruined himself but Anita didn’t help.

Lots of comments about Brian, all I know is that when I heard he had died I sat in the middle of Bristol and cried. First saw the Stones at Longleat House, Wiltshire UK in around August '64 and on every occasion since. there is no precedent for comparing a rock band then and now, just looking forward to their 60th anniversary.
