You listen to Elmore James and tell me that's not rock'n'roll I'll buy you an acre of wetlands and plant you in it for the alligators to have a snack with....
At the time the Stones were imitating blues AND Chuck Berry AND the likes of Motown. So I dunno if they would truly be considered a "rock band" in that aspect. I don't think that happened until Beggars Banquet actually.
But then again, to me, it's all rock'n'roll, Muddy etc and Chuck etc and Hank etc.

This is a very personal opinion for all of us, but for me
it has to be

The one and only time I ever got to hear him play live.

I think "I Wanna Be your Man" is a great example of how a rock band sound like: a stupid pop song played with no hostages taken "roots" attitude - the much talked Jones guitar solo has no equivalants in recorded history prior that: it is not the goddamn slide - it is what is done with it! It bloody screams!

Jones was a tremendous musician (in spite of what Richards says); great with other instruments adding color, great guitar player.
Talking about Elmore James- one of his last great moments would have to be his slide playing on "Two Trains Running"; he cops James' tone and phrasing perfectly, and it's a startling contrast to Keith's barb-wire tone he got during the Beggars Banquet sessions. What a haunted performance.
Also, his Rickenbacker tone/attack on the chorus and fade of "It's All Over Now" is one of the toughest sounds I've ever heard an electric guitar make.
edith, and he gets the same tone on the verses of Satisfaction, too. always dug his funky licks on that even more than Keiths fuzz line.

I agree a great deal with what you wrote except the last line.
Jones only plays the acoustic on Satisfaction. All the electric guitar you hear
is Keith.

I would go for No Expectations myself. His slide is truly superb. This man really has the blues, you can hear it in the shaky, somewhat unsteady hand, the on- and off timing, the tuning: hauntingly beautiful.

There's pictures of the recording session, with Keith overdubbing the acoustic.

Are you meaning the Gered Mankowitz pics where Keith has shades on and is playing a hummingbird? I think you've said those are from satisfaction session before, but they're from later.
Any direct quotes where any of the band say Brian didn't play acoustic?

No, there's a couple of pics of Keith and Jack Nitzsche, Keith in a white blouse with a Gibson Country and Western, shot by Mankowitz, with undersript of Wyman saying that these were shot during overdubs for Satisfaction. There's some remarks in Wyman's Rolling with the Stones as well.

I don't recall what photos you mean, but I don't find any evidence in Wyman's book of him not playing. Wyman does mention a band vote on it being the next single after listening to the master and him saying Brian was present.
However, this listening party could have been done soon after.
So I guess the verdict is we really don't know.
We don't have any positive proof that he wasn't there, unless someone has a quote
taht I haven't read.
It does sound to my ears like a part he would play.
Also, too, FWIW, the acoutsic and piano on the mono mix are hardly audible,
but they do beef up the sound, if you know what I mean.
