QuoteDoxa But doesn't that - pointing their technical mediocracy - sound trivial? You know, like missing the whole point in their music? So I think it boils down to the fact if the part fits to the whole (and with that what kind of impression the whole does). And in that the Stones are masters, even genius occasionally. That was also what Brian Jones was all about. Also for that reaso

Quotegeorgie48 I only wonder why some absolutely great misicians (Hendrikx, Townshend, Clapton, Beck, etc., etc. in the history of R&B and R&R spoke/speak so highly of Brian's contribution to the Stones?

QuoteHis Majesty I don't like the new single at all. It's just being an arsehole posting that every time people discuss it. There is a guitarist on YouTube that, aside from about 7 or so songs, dislikes the Brian era Rolling Stones. For what ever reason every few months he feels the need to tell people on my channel how bad he thinks the Stones were then. He'll use things like i

QuoteDoxa Indeed! Well put. I tried to describe the same observation above, then not yet seeing yours. - Doxa And I agree with you that the album abundantly displays that attitude that "we don't need to prove anything." The album, to me, is so magnificent in large part because it comes from a band so ineffably comfortable in their own skin that they massively impress simp

For me, the album in totality absolutely reeks of total self-confidence and awareness of their status as "greatest rock and roll band in the world." Brilliant musically and attitudinally.

Quote24FPS But we know all about his musical talents. What don't we know about a guy that died at age 27 by now? That he had a smashing stamp collection? Seems like this could be said about almost any figure who is the subject of a documentary. I'd think if a proposed documentary is if no interest to me, I simply wouldn't watch it.

QuoteDoxa It is also interesting that I think it was when George Harrison died, Keith said something to the effect that he had a special connection to him, since he had a similar role in the band like George had. Does anyone recall the comment? Anyway, to me it sounded odd since I had used to see The Stones as a Mick and Keith show, so Keith's role sounded more like Lennon or Cartney'

Quote24FPSFor one thing Brian assumed he was the leader of the Rolling Stones since he's the one that brought them together. And he was the musical spark that set them off. But as things changed, and songwriting was called for, he faltered. George never claimed to be the leader of the Beatles. They even called John the leader. George created leads for songs. Brian, except for the occasio

Quote24FPS But there was a difference between Brian and George. Harrison worked his ass off, getting better and better on guitar. At the end of the Beatles he'd developed as a fantastic slide player on Something. And George kept chipping away at songwriting until he was up there with Lennon/McCartney. Brian seemed lazy, or bored, or god knows what his problem was. Both of them introduced u

Quote24FPS I think Brian is best described as ethereal. His talent evoked emotions that didn't need words. George Harrison had a bit of that. (Another Pisces).
