Keith Richards Brian Jones Funeral

atticthoughts Says:

Sep 19, 2011 - When talking about Brian Keith is one side talking in a still, for him, ongoing conflict. He release every bit of bitterness he can and keep his true feelings to himself. He has shown them at times but it's rare. Anita never let him forget that she once was Brian's girl and when the love of your life says that you won't be happy. Anita's affair with Mick is also one of the reason why Keith attacks Mick in his book. Keith has "his" truth and it won't give you the whole picture.

Sep 19, 2011 - True. Brian will always be "the Monster" when the truth is that he was a pretty regular but very insecure guy that got hooked on alcohol and drugs. It's sad that especially Keith keep the good stories to himself as they were close and had lots of fun together (look at photos). It would have brought some balance. Brian was liked by many despite his mix of polite rudeness, humor and paranoia. He was an arse at times but they all were.

Sep 19, 2011 - My opinions are not coming from Keith's book, thanks. They're coming from everything.

atticthoughts Says:

Sep 19, 2011 - "Everything" is usually based on what Keith has to say about the blond boy anyway. There are a few books whos writers actually bothered to look up and listen to people who aren't biased but lived or/and worked closely with Brian at times during the 60's. Bill Wyman's book "Stone Alone" is a good start. They show that even if Brian wasn't an angel by any means (drug addicts can be a pain in the a**) he was human with more sides to him than one.

MissPoitier Says:

Sep 19, 2011 - Yes, 'Stone alone' is a very good book. In my opinion Bill Wyman paints a balanced picture and is even self-crititcal in this book.

Sep 19, 2011 - Okay, I feel you're getting a bit full of yourself and you're putting words in my mouth, which I do not like. Never said there was only on side to Brian, not blaming it all completely on him. I could go on forever, but this discussion is getting real old, real fast, so bye!

atticthoughts Says:

Sep 19, 2011 - Sorry you couldn't handle it. Yes, I'm bit full of myself - but not as much as Brian, Mick and Keith. Bye!

atticthoughts Says:

Sep 19, 2011 - One more thing (I won't be a dick this time. ;) ): No, you never said that. I'm sorry if you feel that I put words in your mouth. You pushed my button with the words "Keith" and "truth" in the same sentence since I have had that discussion a million times already. People tend to make the story about Brian and the Stones very easy and one sided. Not many are well read on the other side of who the blond boy was. It's my loss that you don't want continue the discussion. Peace!

Oct 19, 2011 - Just hate Keith and Mick!! They are OLD ugly men- who ever thought they were the ones???? Mick, for one, is just a big mouth - what else can he do??? Puts his old cock into what-ever - yes, but what is his contribution to my world?? Fuck Mick - you can scream - yes, you can, but you cannot sing, so go fuck you old, old man. And Keith - the abe-man - why did you not help Brian instead of stealing his girl?? You are out - you could fuck everybody - why Brian´s girl?? It did not even last, so why??

Oct 21, 2011 - hey manKeith is beastht

xDeadMisfitsx Says:

Oct 29, 2011 - The statement is very incorrect. The proper sentence would be: Like it or not... Jagger & Richards were the Rolling Stones after Brian Jones passed away. No Brian Jones = no Rolling Stones. The man made many musical contributions to their sound and, for Christ's sake, got the name and their first gig!

Philtration Says:

Oct 29, 2011 - Yes, Brian was important to the band in the beginning but he was never the focus and that became more and more obvious as the years went by.The Stones were far better musically when Mick Taylor replaced Brian.

xDeadMisfitsx Says:

Oct 29, 2011 - He was the focus due to it being his band in the beginning, but since Jagger and Richards were writing songs, the focus changed. Musically? Well, maybe guitar-wise, but Taylor couldn't do half the shit Brian Jones knew how to play.

Philtration Says:

Oct 29, 2011 - Taylor couldn't do half the shit Brian Jones knew how to play.?Come on now.That is just getting silly to make a point that you liked Brian Jones.I liked him too but let's not pretend that he was a better guitar player than Taylor or that he was a bigger part of the Stones than Mick or Keith.Brian lost his way.He is not the first or the last rock star to do so.

Feb 6, 2012 - Google this: angelfire+sixties+fish+sanchez­+ts158 then choose the highlighted Page 158 option. (YouTube doesn't allow links, sorry). It has a 1971 interivew in Rolling Stone where Keef basically admits there was a cover up. 'Mr Get-It-Together' Tom Keylock had the crimescene cleaned up before the cops arrived.

Feb 27, 2012 - The "official" cause of death was drowning and drug abuse but there are speculations that Frank Thorogood, a builder that was staying at his house and the last person to be with him the night he died, had drowned him. No one really knows though since the police won't reopen the case

atticthoughts Says:

Mar 9, 2012 - He drowned. That's what we know. He had traces of booze and pills in his body but not so much that it alone could have caused him to drown. But Brian had one of the few heathed pools in England at that time and a heated pool can cause you to pass out especially if you had a few drinks. Brian also had pretty bad asthma and some sort of epilepsia that could have caused his death. He was not in good shape in 69. I don't give much for the murder theories though as there are no evidence.

junkkbeat Says:

Apr 9, 2012 - I ALWAYS THOUGHT THOROGOOD was a Twat. Fuck off Keith, you not surprised? Funny eh, considering in the 60s you were ranked as the No 1 most likely star to die by the underground scene. Lou Reed was second. Bet you were scared shitlesz

debj1965 Says:

Apr 24, 2012 - No Jones, no Stones. Simple as that.

Rao665 Says:

May 5, 2012 - and they really don't need to. he drowned and was drugged up. you don't need too much to drown. you only need a bit to affect your mind to where you are under the influence.

Miles3363 Says:

May 25, 2012 - I have just now really got into the Stones and I really like the Brian Jones era the best and he's by far my favorite. Does anyone know if there was an album ever released with just songs Brian Jones was involved in?
