QuoteThe Worst. Definetely overrated. It is a very hip take to make online that Brian Jones was the true genius and the rest of the Stones are suckers. Most of the comments come from ignorant people with little knowledge though. Right now I'm reading the comment section under Sympathy for the Devil from Rock and Roll circus. One comment: "Fun fact: The original tempo was so much slower

Amazing track. Mick's voice is just out of this world. The guy is 80! Everything was simply perfect and I'm just happy my favourite band still has it in them! I wish Charlie was there but he's smiling from above listening to it. He's definitely the contributor. Loved every second of this song and enjoyed every bit of the sound.

Quotedoitywoik QuoteDandelionPowderman Quotedoitywoik Can Mick's early version be listened to somewhere? Thanks! Indeed still an embryonic version. So maybe it was indeed Keith who came up with the intro as we know it today. In his book Life Keith himself said it was all Mick including the riff.

I find it really cool that Mick does not give a shite about what shoes are appropriate to show up in front of this group of people in and wears whatever he wants and feels comfortable in. Really weird to see people complaining about it, that's not that big of a deal and he still looks great.

I don't recall Mick ever down talked Keith as guitar player. Also, Mick often seems closed and reserved in his interviews but what he always says is Keith actually is very good songwriter. He used to belittle his own part in songwriting process to praise Keith's. "Keith writes all the songs, I just help him sometimes", "Keith does everything, I just fill in" etc. I r

Mick and Marianne went to USA in early July for Beggars Banquet sessions and stayed there for the rest of the month so I guess July can be excluded. As for Mick and Parsons "never hit it off",did not Mick say in one of his interviews that Gram was one of few people who really taught him to sing country music? That takes some great connection and does not sound like they never hit off.

As for Brian's style, I think he looked great but not that special for those times. Look at the pictures of the crowd in Swingin' 60s, you'll see lot of young men and women wearing same style. What I thought was really a bomb, was Jagger's red military jacket in 1966. Too bad we did not see it enough in color.

Well actually we know as the FACT that Mick and Keith both were capable of carrying on the band successfully through decades, and who knows about Brian. Who knows what could he have done, but from what WE KNOW he was not able to focus on anything long enough to succeed big time without Mick and Keith. The rest is either wishful thinking or speculation.
