WHAT MICK, KEITH, BILL, CHARLIE, JOHN LENNON, & ALEXIS KORNER SAID ABOUT BRIAN JONES
JOHN LENNON "That was a great period. We were like the kings of the jungle then, and we were very close to the Stones. I don't know how the others were, I spent a lot of time with Brian and Mick, and I admire them." John Lennon
CHARLIE WATTS "He got much nicer just before he died, the last few years of his life, but I felt even sorrier for him for what we did to him then. We took his one thing away, which was being in a band, I felt." Charlie Watts
MICK JAGGER "He was very talented, but he was a very paranoid personality and not at all suited to be in show business." Mick Jagger
ALEXIS KORNER "At the start of the Stones it was Brian who was the monster head. Brian was incredibly aggressive in performance. By then his hair was pretty long, and he had what was almost a permanent pout, crossed with a leer, and he used to look incredibly randy most of the time. He used to jump forward with the tambourine and smash it in your face and sneer at you at the same time."Alexis Korner
BILL WYMAN "Brian was the inventor and inspiration of the Stones. The band would not have existed without him . He never received that proper credit during his life."Bill Wyman
KEITH RICHARDS "Brian was a cat who could play any instrument. It was like: 'There it is. Music comes out of it. If I work at it for a bit, I can do it.' It's him on marimbas on "Under My Thumb" and mellotron on quite a few things on "Satanic Majesties". He was the strings on "2,000 Light Years From Home". Brian on mellotron and brass on "We Love You", all that Arabic riff. He was one of those people who are so beautiful in one way, and such an asshole in another." Keith Richards
KEITH RICHARDS "Although it was a shock when it actually happened, nobody was really that surprised, you know. I'm sure everybody's got a feeling about certain people... everybody knows people that-- you just have that feeling about them, they're not going to be 70 years old, ever. Not everybody makes it." Keith Richards BRIAN JONES ""I was never really dependent on drugs. They had never done anything positive for me. I hope this will be an example to young people who attempt to try drugs."Brian Jones
