‘He epitomised the dazzling 60s and then was gone’: Rolling Stone Brian Jones

• coldtea 3y ago
  It's probably the Rolling Stone member I least care about. I think they really nailed their sound after his unfortunate demise. The first albums had classics, but also many tacky songs. I'd rather listen to something like Exile, Sticky Fingers, Let if Bleed, and co. Even on Beggars Banquet he didn't contribute much of essense - just some stuff here and there a session guy could do.

  For a lead guitarist, it's pretty strange that his best licks were on a sitar, marimba, and recorder. And dulcimer. On guitar, Keith could play anything Brian could, and write songs and sing (a bit). It's a downer to have your better-in-every-way replacement right there in the group with you. He did get all the groupies though.
