Would Charlie ever have hooked up with Mick and Keith without Brian?

never does he fail to remind everyone that Keith and Mick had nothing to do with starting the Stones.

I never get why people care who started the Stones. The Stones are what they are because of Jagger and Richards period. Jones is only remembered because he started a band that had Jagger and Richards in it.

………… are you serious ?? brian played a huge role in even getting the band gigs in the earlier days and starting the foundation which mick and keith then took by writing songs, and all their greatest hits and masterpiece albums have brian all over them. like is this a joke i'm not getting ??
holy shit the disrespect here is overwhelming and i honestly don't know how you can say your rolling stones fans when you think that brian wasn't important. he was and still is.

There is only what happened. It took that particular run of events for things to happen, change one thing and they all might have ended up remaining in or fading back in to the london smog.
Its's Mick meeting Keith, it's Brian meeting Alexis, it's Brian playing at Ealing club with Mick, Keith and Dick Taylor in audience, it's the advert being placed,
it's meeting ALO, it's the nudge to write songs etc etc.
There's nothing to show that Mick and Keith or any of them would have been successful with out those events. The view that M&K would have is way too influenced by what actually happened.

a valid theory that if Brian, Bill, and Charlie had never existed, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards may very well have created a band that looked and sounded very much like The Rolling Stones.

Mick would never ever in a zillion years have continued with Keith anywhere. Brian is the reason this band existed.

That's why they moved together (without Brian) after Edith Grove?

No Stones without Jagger&Richars. Obvious.
No Stones without Watts&Wyman in the background. Obvious (except for a minority).
No truth about the band without Wyman's memory. Obvious.
No Stones without Brian (who started everything and was, by far, the most clever among them and at the same time the most hopeles for fame).
All roles equitably awarded. Jagger and Richards (Keith craftily hides it better than Mick) know it and hate it (specially for Wyman...).

Good point. People who are partial to Brian perhaps try too hard to beatify him for his role in starting the band. People partial to the Glimmers may overemphasize their role. It took all of them but without Mick and Keith's star appeal (mostly Mick at first) and writing ability, the band would not have made it so big. Without Mick and Keith, Brian may have succeeded at forming an admirable blues band, but we likely may have never heard of them. I see too much of the Brian devotees discrediting Mick and Keith. Without them, the legendary band we love today would not exist. And it probably wouldn't exist without Brian's role in the early days, so let's give everyone proper credit. The rise of The Rolling Stones was a whole set of fortunate circumstances and the chemistry of the right people. Mick, Keith, Brian, Bill, Charlie, Stu...they all played vital roles as did Mick Taylor and Ron Wood as the saga unfolded.

Star appeal? Brian WAS the star appeal in the 60s with Mick climbing that latter quickly. Brian was the one who wanted to make it, he was the driving force.
Regarding Mick and Keith moving in together - Keith moved in with Brian later on. ALO wanted to create a Lennon/McCartney within the band.

... if Mick and Keith hadn't come along, that very band would have folded what? in about 6 months?
