True. Keith continues to be the most unrelible source if you want to know anything about Brian. I had hoped for something real this time. But this book doesn't give us anything new about their true relation to each other, no dept or insight in the music that was made, no credit at all - it's just the same old bitter bashing as usual. A broken record more or less.Quote

Keith's comments about Brian Jones' death were harsh. There was a coldness there that I find surprising as it has been over 40 years. I remember an interview I once read with Marianne Faithfull. She said that Keith loved Brian. Well, you couldn't tell it when reading about the death. Keith rehashes Thorogood's deathbed confession, but curiously doesn't even mention Tom Keylock.
Keith refers to Brian as a "whining son of a bi**h" when talking about his deaht. I always thought Keith was a better man than that..It's been over 40 years and he is 66 years old...Brian must have gotten under his skin big time......

After about one hour and a half with this book (German edition) I cannot withhold any longer my deepest regrets to the RS fan community that this book ever happened.Its writing style is exceptionally bad, (...) The photos are all insignificant crap, there is perhaps not a single one that I had not seen before. The print is cheap, any editorial work unnoticeable. Just another book to rest on your shelf.
My advice: Save the money ...

Can't wait to hear from everyone their opinions of Keith's "I haven't forgotten any of it." line.
