1969

Police noted in 1969 that some bottles of alcoholic drink were partly consumed in the area.

The Coroner mentioned alcohol and drugs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.216.90.44 (talk) 12:01, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

References

I have just finished reading what I consider to be the most comprehensive and wonderfully written biography of Jones - Trynka, Paul, Brian Jones: The Making of the Rolling Stones, Plume, 2015 ISBN 978-0-14-751645-9. --77.100.153.86 (talk) 20:51, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

AKA Elmo Lewis

I see Jones's called himself Elmo Lewis; also the name was Jerry Lee Lewis's father. Surely this isn't a coincidence. I've yet to find a reference confirming this but will keep looking. --Roisterer (talk) 01:50, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Brian Jones quit the Rolling Stones and was not fired.

According to Rolling Stone Magazine on July 12, 1969 at 7:45 PM Brian Jones quit the Rolling Stones to pursue his own kind of music which was no longer the Rolling Stones kind of music. Jones was a brilliant musician who was largely responsible for the sound of the Rolling Stones and was in command of the studio when he was present. He was the leader of the Rolling Stones and felt that it was not going in the direction he wanted it to go. The idea of Jones being fired was a myth created after he died. This whole article smacks of a cover up by people who did not like Jone's hippie ideas and philosophy and so have painted him as a wastrel. It was in fact Jagger and Richards who started using heroin around this time who were the inveterate drug addicts and they continued to be for many, many years. The music of the Rolling Stones never against reached the peaks of success, or creativity after Jones left the group and died. They have never again had a string of top hits like they always enjoyed when Jones was alive and making the group the success that it was. This article makes him out to be a loser who was just a drunk. After Honky Tonk Woman the Stones only had a couple of disco type hits, Angie and Miss You. The death of Brian Jones after his departure from the Rolling Stones in essence killed the idea of what the Rolling Stones were and they never again came close to the levels of excellence and creativity that they had expressed during the time when Brian Jones was the leader of the Rolling Stones. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.73.208 (talk) 17:11, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

RNR HOF

When the Stones were inducted into the Rock 'N Roll of Fame, were any family members there to represent him? The article mentions Jones' having two sisters (one died as a child), and four (possibly five) children. Elsquared (talk) 00:55, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Brian not the leader or founder of rolling stones

Might want to read Keith Richards biography and update Brian's info to say the truth. 203.213.249.41 (talk) 12:10, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Richards himself credits Jones with coming up with the name, and the group was already taking shape before Richards himself joined, Jaggar, Jones, et. al. were already jamming together some when Jaggar brought Richards into the fold. I think you're misinterpreting things. --Jayron32 13:29, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Death

A lot of vitnes did say it was a argument pre his death. Why no words about it? 88.90.98.95 (talk) 21:22, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Jimi Hendrix

Brian Jones does not feature on any Jimi Hendrix release. He plays piano on several outtakes of All Along The Watchtower, but Jones was too drunk to make it to the final take. He does not play the percussion on the track. The sitar played on 'Little One' is by Dave Mason, not Brian Jones. Heteren (talk) 12:32, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
