All we know that Brian contributed on that song was a few "whoo-hoos"

To be honest, the Stones haven't done anything the Beatles haven't done before them.

According to Jimmy Miller all vocals for BB and LIB were recorded at Sunset Sound, no vocals were recorded at Olympic.

Oh yeah, playing a slide guitar, using open tunings, experimenting with a fuzz box... The Beatles, who basically invented song-writing and making records, probably the instruments too, had it all on their their records before those poor copy-cats..
Or probably those kind of things do not count in doing something or - to use good old Beatlelogist vocabulary - in being 'innovative' or 'first', unlike, say, having a tambura or a tabla on a record...

Are you claiming that this did not take place at the Olympic Studios?

'Yesterdays' was recorded with double dropped tuningon the acoustic, George Harrison used alternate tuning on 'Dear Prudence' and 'Julia', Lennon on 'Strawberry Fields'.
I don't think they ever used slide guitar before they split. Harisson did become a true slide master though in his later recording years.

John Lennon, September 1963, recording 'Don't Bother Me' with a Gibson Maestro Fuzz.
George Harrison, July 1963:

Why the heck are we talking Beatles and Stones and slide guitar ?
The guy below was recorded in 1917 and he even didn't need a bloody open tuning. A beautiful vibrato. And yes, it's Hawaiian influenced.Dangerous in pop/rock music.
Unfortunately he couldn't swim in the expanse of cold salt water that covers most of the earth's surface and surrounds its land masses (source: Wikipedia).All this unlike Brian Jones, who could swim like a champ but unfortunately managed to drown in a small swimming pool containing approximately 100 cubic meter of 65 degrees Celsius freshwater. At best.

All kudos to Frank Ferara, but the music as we know it started with the Beatles (and The Stones following their steps). Anything before them do not count since it was just raw material, including the use of 'exotic' instruments or sounds, for them to make countable pop diamonds out of them. For example, with this logic the Stones basically invented samba rhythm in "Sympathy For the Devil" - a sweet effective 60's Beatlelogist idea of being innovative in use! "Genius"!
But wasn't it not Frank but his wife Helen that was lost in a deep blue sea?

Poor Beatles - no slide guitar at all - what sort of rock band is that?

That's what the Beatles thought as well, so they did use a lap steel slide for 'Fo You Blue'.

Now to be a total anorak -this track was recorded in what you call Hawaiian tuning or 'slack key' tuning, or 'taro patch', which basically is an open G tuning with an added low D. Most pro players would tune up to open A.
