Thé new Rolling Stones video, "Angry," shows visual images of former Rolling Stones members Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts and Mick Taylor. I didn't see Brian Jones. Did I miss something?

It will be the 60th anniversary of the formation of The Rolling Stones in 2022. It will be a welcome thing if the celebration includes acknowledgement of everyone who has been an important part of the history of the band. It should include the contributions of Brian Jones, Bill Wyman Mick Taylor and Charlie Watts. It would be complete if they also acknowledge Ian Stewart, Dick Taylor and Nicky Hopkins. They were all important people who contributed to the band at different times in their history.

It amazes me how many people who became Stones fans after the Brian era don,t even know who he was. The guy just doesn,t get the recognition or credit he deserves. Every now and then I take a trip back to memory lane seeing the pictures of Brian, the interviews, listening to his music. There is a lot out there if you look.

I had a dream Wednesday night. Brian was wearing his white hat and speaking to me. I couldn't hear him clearly, and he looked frustrated. In the morning I went to work, and as I tried to do my daily tasks these words kept coming into my head. I couldn't keep them away, and they interfered with my concentration, so I wrote them down. This is what they were:
UNDERSTAND ME
Walk a mile in my shoes.
I fell in love with The Blues.
Pursuing its glory
Has brought me sad news.
It is Business, they say,
Takes my Chosen away.
I’m a Fool and a Bad Boy
For fighting this way!
Walk a mile in my shoes,
They have killed you, my Blues.
I must yield to their Wisdom
Or Careers they will lose!
It is Business, you see.
They throw Garbage at me.
This Fluff will make Money,
With my Blues, it can’t be.
Walk a mile in my shoes.
I am weeping, my Blues.
I’m called Demon and Purist,
Despised and abused.
It is Business, my bane.
Some folks call me insane.
All I touch turns to smoke
While I cry in the rain.
Walk a mile in my shoes.
They’ve abandoned my Blues.
I must cast them aside
Though my life I may lose.
It was Business, the Beast,
Ate my Dreams at the feast
Of my roasted ambitions.
Cared for me? Not the least!
Walk a mile in my shoes,
With my beloved Blues.
Though my battle is lost,
Yield to them? I refuse!

Maybe this is a few days late, but Gerry Seda, founder and friend of all on this board, passed away SIX YEARS AGO on Sept 20, 2010 after a long illness. I never met Gerry, but had many in-depth conversations on this board about, [of course], our favorite Stone, Brian. Gerry was one of the most level headed, yet passionate people I've ever heard, again, yes only on the 'net, and it is my profound loss that we never met in person.
I wonder if we had. I used to hang around in Greenwich Village New York quite extensively in the late '60s and very early '70s promoting my musical career, undoubtedly, at some of the same haunts Gerry must've been. Something I guess I'll never know.
In any event, take a moment out of your day to remember this lovely woman who, arguably, was Brian's biggest fan.
Rest In Peace, dear Gerry.
Peace and Love to all, EL

- The Stones are hiding what really happened. -- Eric (How do I love a band that I can't trust?), 15:48:18 09/12/16 Mon (S0106841b5ee55cec.wp.shawcable.net/24.76.64.111)
The Rolling Stones definitely gave Brian a hard time for taking more money and for being the most talented and the most artistic. They've said in interviews that he set himself up to get treated like shit (for being a gentle/jealous guy in a band of outgoing party guys) and that's exactly what the band did to him, treat him like shit. That's (in my opinion) why he started abusing drugs which eventually led to his the downfall of his character and motivation. The rest of the band didn't like him and they used evil ways to get rid of him. As for his death, it's sketchy that nobody tried to solve it. If he was murdered, then who was behind it? The band? His house workers? Nobody knows. On the other hand, if he commuted suicide, then it was a byproduct of the bands resentment and torture towards him. Either way, the Rolling Stones have a dark history hidden away, somebody needs to do something about it. would highly suggest that yall do some research because this shit is so convoluted!

HUH??
Many of you may not know that name. But Mr. Vilmont recently portrayed the role of 'Ernst' in the now-canceled HBO series "Vinyl". Ernst was supposedly based on Austrian photographer Ernst Haas, who was known to hang with Andy Warhol in the '60s. But.......... WHY was Ernst made up to look EXACTLY LIKE BRIAN JONES....who of course was ALSO friends with Warhol at this time. Of course, Brian, er, ahhh, I mean.. ERNST.. was killed off early on in the series. Was executive producer Mick Jagger trying to exorcise some long held demons here?
I would really like some input from my fellow Brian-fans.
BTW If you haven't seen the series, Google Carrington Vilmont/Vinyl and you'll see the spitting image of a young, leather-jacket clad Brian - MUCH more so than that guy with the big nose who played Brian in 'Stoned'
I was absolutely fascinated when I saw it, and Mr. Vilmont even affected some of Brian's unique mannerisms and speech. Obviously, not a coincidence- but I'm puzzled as to what was going on here. Thoughts, anyone?.

What do you think the best book about Brian and his life has been? I personally think the most detailed, particularly about his early life, and which tries to be the most fair is Paul Trynka's Sympathy for the Devil. It neither deifies him nor demonises or sensationalises him or his life or legacy.

I stumbled upon this at imdb:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4951818/
Not much info on this one, but good old Tom Keylock is being named as Brian's killer in this one. Keep in mind that this is a Geoffrey Guiliano project and in the past, he's named other people involved and/or responsible for Brian's demise. Of course, we all remember that Mr. Guiliano is the one that released the 'Rock Reports' audio tape that supposedly interviewed one "Marty" (voiced disguised by helium) the builder confessing to drowning Brian. One thing that I did find interesting is that there is a link to the official Facebook page for this movie and there is an interesting audio interview/interviews with both Brian and Mick circa 1968. There is also a Youtube video that is inaccessible to folks in the USA, which looks like it may name Princess Margaret as a witness of some sort. If any UK readers still left here can view it, kindly share the contents of the video with us.

Brian Clough and Brian Jones.
Although on the face of it they had nothing in common, if you look closer they had a great deal and many coincidences occur between their lives.
BOTH lost a sister in early childhood. Jones's sister died of Leukemia at the age of two and Clough's sister died of Septicemia at the age of four.
BOTH had a middle name beginning with H (Howard and Hopkin).
BOTH were rebellious figures.
BOTH were intelligent and articulate.
BOTH were very talented in their sphere. Clough scored 251 goals in 274 league games and won two league titles, with two different clubs, league cups and European cups twice. Clough was also a very good cricketer. Jones was academically gifted, a good spin bowler, a brilliant swimmer, a brilliant diver, and could play any musical instrument with ease.
BOTH, despite their talented, reached their limitations at the top. Clough didn't achieve anything when he played for England and nearly all of his goals were in the second division. He was turned down for the England job and never managed to win the FA Cup. Jones couldn't sing or write songs and eventually ended up sidelined by the Rolling Stones.
BOTH had addiction problems. Clough was an alcoholic. Jones with alcohol and drugs.
BOTH had issues with violence. Clough with hitting fans and even the odd player. Jones with women.
BOTH fell out with people who worked with and were once close to them. Clough with Taylor. Jones with Richards.
BOTH had statues put up of them in their hometown. Clough in Middlesborough. Jones in Cheltenham.
BOTH made their fame and fortune mainly away from their hometown. Clough in Sunderland, then Derby and Nottingham. Jones in London.
BOTH had prejudice problems. Clough was homophobic. Jones misogynistic.
BOTH displayed and were said to very kind and very cruel.
BOTH were described in similar ways. Clough as the quare fellow. You don't know which will come through the door. He can be kind and gentle or rude and obnoxious. Another described Clough as having at least five different personalities. He was also described as unpredictable and being opposites all the time. Jones was described as unpredictable, having a changeable, almost split personality, being a bunch of guys, opposites all the time, and the sweetest, softest most considerate man in the world and the nastiest piece of work you will ever met.
BOTH loved being recognised and the center of attention.
BOTH could be unreliable. Clough turning up for things late and Jones doing the same or not at all.
BOTH antagonised people they worked with. Clough his team-mates and Jones his bandmates.
BOTH were charismatic characters who many people idolised and wanted to be.
BOTH had films made about them. The Damned United and Stoned.
BOTH were controversial characters.

This is a larger sketch of the first appearance of Brian Jones in the United States...clear down to the expression on his face. This is what I remembered.
This is how he dressed, how he stood on the top of his pedistal, the only guitar he played, and the expression that seldom left his face.

Not for nothing, but this space has come to a dead standstill since Trynkas book. So what if he worked for MOJO? So what if he wrote about Bowie? I cant stand Bowie! I had to throw that book away just to get in touch with my own Feelings about Brian, Mick and Keith again, not just as a fan but as a musician. I believe in at least trying to keep things on the up and up when It comes to MY ROLLING STONES!!! theres only one Rolling Stones and this has included many people over the years,and I really dont think they have perverse personalities at all and arent difficult to work with but now it seems everybody is writing their "Stones Memoirs". Id rather look at and listen to them than read all sorts of dry articles and books about them from all sorts of people who are out to "GET THEM" out of jealousy and frustration because theyre NOT THEM.Im going to turn them on, turn them up and have a good time.
