Brian JONES: Song WRITER In His Own RIGHT

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❤

Love to Bill Wyman for championing Brian’s important contributions. Have never heard Mick or Kieth do the same.

Let's not forget the mellotron Brian played on "2000 Light Years From Home" that gives it it's outer space feel. Also his harmonica playing on the early blues songs. He plays a dulcimer on "Lady Jane" and of course sitar on "Paint It Black".Brian played something like 20 different instruments on Stones records.

Bo Diddley described Jones as "a little dude that was trying to pull the group ahead. I saw him as the leader. He didn't take no mess. He was a fantastic cat; he handled the group beautifully. He’s the only white cat that ever got my rhythm.” – Bo Diddley speaking of Rolling Stone, Brian Jones, 1963

Thank You For This Great Video, And Thank You Bill Wyman for Being in it, It’s Great to see you Bill. So sorry you left The Stones. You’re a Legend. Brian Jones was A Great Arranger, Great Idea’s, and Played any Instrument, He Also played the Clearinet in Citidel. The Rolling Stones are Great and Awesome but Without Brian Jones Arrangement’s in the Music It Wouldn’t have had That Good Sound !!!

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.

Brian Jone's slide guitar on "No Expectations" is absolutely beautiful, and alongside Nicky Hopkins piano makes it a most underrated Rolling Stones song.

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

Brain Jones was brilliant!

Always thought the RS Jones Era was by far the best A true genius Alas he had demons

I must state,the work Brian did on the Hammond organ is quite amazing on the LP After Math ,the sound adds so much ,and so unique. Hey I love it. Never heard nothing quite like it.

Brain was a head of his time and The Stones didn’t get it, but in Keith and Mick defense, they were just too young to understand that. A little bit of Patience and it would’ve been a whole different story. There’s a reason why john Lennon and Hendrix liked Brain, cause they knew he was Different?

The Brian Jones era was the real Rolling Stones era🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤❤❤❤❤❤

"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.

“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

Brilliant presentation I must say. Though I've been a Stones fan since the mid 70s (Hot Rocks 1964-1971 compilation was their fist album i bought) I knew very little of about this enigmatic performer....Thank you

Brian. Jones was the best ever rolling stone RIP Brian 👍👍👍

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.

THIS is the best tribute to Brian Jones I've seen yet...Brian did put a brilliant contribution to each of their songs 🌼 i have always loved the earlier years of the Rolling Stones The 'Brian Jones' era

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day ❤😊
