I didn't know Micky Waller sat in for Charlie back in the club days! I have a biography of Alexis Korner and it mentions musicians that got together with Brian to rehearse with. I'll have to dig the book up to see the names again.

Great Interview. I didn't catch any obvious mistakes. I still don't understand. The Stones DID return to roots music. It's what they were doing on Beggars, and Let It Bleed. Maybe Brian couldn't stand not being the leader. But wouldn't history have repeated itself? Brian hadn't been a singer to that point. He would have needed a vocalist. What if that vocalist got the bulk of the attention, again? I guess Brian thought he had to be the leader, when he obviously wasn't up to the task with the Stones.
John Fogerty was an excellent guitarist, songwriter, and front man. Brian was none of those. At one time he was a good guitarist but let it atrophy. I don't see a similarity between the two at all.

In 1968 it appears he was interested in electronic , spacey , music, like his mellotron on Stray Cat Blues and Jigsaw Puzzle.I think by 1969 Keith wanted a second guitarist to play blues rock.Brian euither wouldn’t or couldn’t by that time. So I think it just wasn’t the drugs or visa issues that led him to being asked to leave.

Memo From Tina Turner
From what I've read, Brian apparently demoed a few of his own songs in the weeks before his death. Two of the songs he demoed were called "Has Anybody Seen My Baby?" and "Chow Time".

Brian’s journey was vaguely similar to Syd Barrett’s. Have there been any books written on their parallels?

I dunno but I agree, there are similarities.

Except Barret was a singer, and a songwriter.

I think they had moved beyond him. It was not the time for exotic instruments, it was the time of the electric guitar. He may have been the best musician in the band when they started, but the others had come miles in their abilities, and cohesiveness as a band. Brian didn't write songs. What was he going to do? Go back to being a cover band? With less talented musicians? This all just sounds like pipe dreams.

Hence, the word vaguely. There are clearly similarities. Both band founders/leaders who became estranged from the bands they founded. Plus, both The Stones and Pink Floyd’s most well-known work is after their founders were out of the band.

My post was confusing. I meant most (more than 1/2) of The Stones most well-known songs were after Brian was out. You’re a big fan. You know. You listed 4 songs. How many warhorses do they have? More than 8.

NashvilleBlues, you are comparing 7 years of Rolling Stones with Brian with 52 years without Brian. That's ridiculous. Percentage wise the Stones made more warhorses during those first 7 years than during the other 52 years. Also, who decides what warhorses are? 24FPS mentioned four, but The Last Time, Paint it Black (!) several Aftermath songs, Let's Spend the Night Together to me and many others are also warhorses. Several amazing cover songs (like Little Red Rooster, etc.) could easily be listed as warhorses.
Everybody knows Brian's unique contributions to the Stones music as well as his limitations and short coming. To find out about Brian's music plans, you have to enter the "parallel world" (dangerous though, because you might not be able to return to this world )).
As and old fan I treasure the memories of the "Brian days" as well as the "Mick T. days" and all that came after that and at this point I look ahead of what hopefully will come this year (new album?) and next year (some special concerts).

I didn't know that either. What an amazing drummer. He also played in some of those excellent early solo albums by Rod Stewart.
