Brian JONES Under-Appreciated GENIUS? | TOP 10 GREATEST Stones Songs 

So great that Brian is getting recognized for his unique contributions.

Really great seeing Bill Wyman's face light up when he feels and describes Brian's instrumentation of the muzik 😁❤️‍🔥🎶 Once a rockstar always A ROCKSTAR

BRIAN JONES ❤The most talented Rolling Stone 🎸👏...The early years were and will be the BEST with Brian ❤️ The Rolling Stones ! It was his BAND! Always remember you BRIAN JONES 🙏

To the creators of this content, Bravo! You absolutely nailed it. Brian Jones was a musical prodigy. His genius is unmistakable. He wandered off the path and it’s terribly sad that he passed so early. But without him pushing boundaries there is no psychedelic rock which so many groups capitalized on later during the late 60’s and into the 70’s. His influence on 8 Miles High by the Byrds is another landmark achievement. The Stones with Brian Jones are the greatest group ever in my humble opinion.

RIP BRIAN JONES 🔥🎶🔥

Brian Jones RIP ❤️💜❤️💯💯

I attended the Stone's first 2 Adelaide concerts in the mid-sixties. They were a great and raw sound. Keith's rock solos impressed me and Brian's slide guitar and harmonica contributions were more than awesome. Little Red Rooster and I'm a King Bee were totally Brian's work.

BRIAN JONES YES !!!! :)

Faszinierend....habe hier mal einige Instrumente, manchmal etwas ungewöhnliche, die mir nicht so sehr bekannt waren, etwas näher kennen gelernt, auch ihre interessante Einwirkungen auf die jeweiligen Songs...mein Kompliment für Brian Jones, der sie meisterhaft beherrschste 👌und es verstand, sie wirkungsvoll einzusetzen....unter diesem Aspekt die heutigen Songs noch mal zu hören war fantastisch... Danke...🎶🎼🎵🔝💯...

How about allowing the poor guy to finally,and truly, Rest in Peace,Please-we don't need anymore sausage cranked out by AEye-and all the redundant commentary.

Brian Jones made the Rolling Stones

I never understood the song writing credits going to J and R. When the whole band collaborated.

Brian Jones is a genius, no question. Just one short niggle, it would have been nice to have a human do the narration in this piece rather than a robot.

Well meant, but unfortunately uch too repetitious for each and every Song. Your core message is correct in every way and Brian should have received composer or co-composer credits for some songs. The same applies to Bill Wyman, Mick Taylor and Ron Wood. For your next series on Brian I would suggest such great contributions to the Stones psychedelic masterpiecesDandelion, Gomper, She's a Rainbow, 2000 light years from home, Child of the Moon etc

No 2000 light years from home ?

Mick and Keith were not trained in the advanced music theory needed to craft non-blue's songs. He was tricked and hyped into letting Keith and Mick be listed on songs he wrote. That's not just as per the music, he wrote the words as well. It's really pretty obvious when you think about it and let your ears tell you. The material does not really line up well with later years. Keith learned some theory as the 70's and eighties wore on but at the time, all but a teen ager, he didn't know any. Like the bass and drums, it's not needed, blue's is enough for rock, you can fake the tricky stuff, you just can't craft it. Who's the lead guitar part on Gimme Shelter? We presume it's Keith because he's so great too. It's actually Brian on a tell tale cut that Mick and Keith did write , a very simple musical structure like they can and do write. Start Me Up, another example,Sympathy for the Devil, all but a straight blue's. But the stuff like Ruby Tuesday, Let's Spend the Night Together, Satisfaction, Under My Thumb etc... that have Jazz and classical implication's are very unlikely to impossible to just sort of start doing by ear on a guitar. It's a know fact in the music industry Brian Jones was the song writer as well as their primary instrumentalist, they keep up the facade to seem better than they are or were. That and to have a reason for the concealment of his faked death. A fresh drowning victim would not have a closed casket, he did. It's only when the person's face is messed up that at a funeral it is closed. The coroner's certificate is a day late for a reason, he was pressured.It was mostly the money. His grave is "ten feet deep to discourage grave robbers." Yea right buddy. It's gonna be empty and the scandal will be on! Ask Paul MCcartney who he knows wrote the Stones good stuff that belongs in a jazz fakebook like his "Yesterday" or "Michelle". It sure as hell was not Mick Jagger, that much we know.

The starting point of the Rolling Stones was the day Jagger and Richards met on a train and realised, that they were both exited of the Blues, especially of Muddy Waters music. The remarkable elements in "Street Fighting Man" are the guitar of Keith, that has been played on an acoustic guitar distorted through a cheap cassette recorder and Micks vocals and lyrics. Brian Jones was never "under-appreciated", he was the one who was the iconic figure of the Stones in their first years. He was maybe the talented arranger of the early songs and he played marvellous instrumental parts, but he was a part of the whole band. The Stones music lifted up to new dimensions when Jones had left the group, it seems that with his departure a lot of pressure had gone.

Jimmy Miller, would tell Rolling Stone that Jones “was sort of in and out.…He’d show up occasionally when he was in the mood to play, and he could never really be relied on.” By this point, Jones’s erratic behavior was fairly common knowledge, a side effect of his psychological struggles and drug abuse. The band would patronize him, or to use Miller’s own language, “accommodate him,” when Jones was lucid enough to show up. “I would isolate him,” Miller said, “put him in a booth and not record him onto any track that we really needed.”

Jones had to leave for the Stones to step out the Beatles' shadow & become the Stones

I'm a little sad that there's no comment yet from @williardbillmore5713, the number one Brian Jones superfan of all time. I'm sure it's coming...
