On today’s episode of strange and unusual tales, we will look at all the evidence to determine, once and for all, who killed Brian Jones? #brianjones #musichistory #rollingstones

      SO true, he did add a colour that was never to be heard again. Even though the Stones did have some good albums and songs after Brian, the group was never the same after him, in my opinion. With Brian, it was the Rolling Stones, after his death, it was now the Stones.

      Can you really imagine a cocky and confident Mick Jagger auditioning for ANYONE? Jagger and Richards were already in a blues band, The Blue Boys, that sounded in their recordings remarkably like the later Rolling Stones. They were in demand and they knew what they could do.

      Bullshite. Brian passed out and sank to the bottom from amphetamine and alcohol use that day. Nothing more nefarious than that happened. He didn't even have enough water in his airway to officially call it a drowning.

    Asthma's a bitch, man. I only started having congestion issues last year at age 31. About a week ago, out of NOWHERE, a tiny bit of phlegm or something just slipped down the wrong pipe, and I couldn't breath for a good 20 or 30 seconds. It was insane. I kept trying to cough and nothing would happen, until eventually it did (thank God). There's no telling what happened to Brian, since none of us were there, but if it were anything like that, I would've been highly skeptical until a few days ago. God bless him, whatever the case may be.

Brian’s body was placed in a solid bronze Batsville casket and buried almost 12 ft under . I’m sure his body is still in reasonable condition and could be re examined Bob Dylan paid for the casket and had it flown in from the U.s.

      Not according to his girlfriend at the time. She reported he was not doing many drugs after the band broke up. And Andrew (whom I have met) had had plans to make Mick and Keith the focal point of the band early on and so there was plans to edge Brian to the side early on. Donovan recalls his wife telling him so when the two of them started up. And Brian's good friend George Harrison is quoted that "there wasn't anything that Brian suffered from that couldn't be cured with a little love."

    Can you do one on Paul Williams of The Temptations because I feel his story is very similar to Brian’s.
    Considered the soul of the group (during their glory years), Paul was one of their original lead singers and the main choreographer. As time went on, those roles he held were diminishing as he suffered from sickle-cell anemia, depression and alcoholism (also a failing marriage due to infidelity on his part and in debt).
    Although he resigned in 1971 to his deteriorating health, he was still on retainer out of devotion and was on the brinks of releasing solo material.
    Sadly, he was found dead in 1973 near the Hitsville building. There are some people (including his former bandmates) who believe it was either a suicide or foul play was involved.
    I personally don’t want to delve into that rabbit hole out of respect and instead remember the man who put his whole being into the songs we still love to this day.

      Jones's brain was fried. He couldn't even contribute to Sympathy For The Devil, though Mick and Keith tried to teach him the groove he just couldn't get it ...Brian's coordination and ability to strum simple chords in 4/4 time was gone. That part of his brain was already fried.

    The weirdest thing about the death of Brian Jones is how Mick Jagger and Keith Richards reacted to it. I'm yet to see an interview where they show any sense of sadness or regret. For some reason they've always downplayed his importance in the early Stones.

    The coroner's verdict--"death by misadventure"--is often quoted, but something else in the autopsy report almost never is: the fact that there were punctate hemorrhages in Jones's brain. (See top of report at 16:57 in the video.) This sometimes occurs in cases of epilepsy, and Bill Wyman--who roomed with the late guitarist for years on Stones tours--has speculated that Jones was an undiagnosed epileptic. But the hemorrhages may also have been the result of physical trauma. Either way, this detail is nearly always overlooked and deserves more scrutiny.

    I’ve always believed that Frank Thorogood killed him. As the TV movie Stoned (required watching if you’re a Rolling Stones fan) shows, Brian owed Frank a lot of money, and Brian either didn’t or couldn’t pay him. Brian also made fun of him as a man that women didn’t want. I believe both of these things caused Frank to snap, and so he drowned Brian out of revenge. Plus, how else would he know where Brian was, if he wasn’t there himself?
    I realize that not everyone buys into this theory. But to me, it makes the most logical sense. Bottom line: we’ll never know what really happened to cause Brian Jones to enter the 27 Club.

    Do one about Jimi Hendrix. He was almost certainly murdered by his manager, Michael Jeffrey.
    Even the ER doctor that pronounced him dead later stated that he thought he was killed. Jimi drowned in red wine but had almost no alcohol in his bloodstream - which means he didn’t get drunk and choke on his own vomit as most people think. He was also only on less than ten sleeping pills - which he already had a very high tolerance to. He was hardly on enough of a dose to OD. His gf also waited a suspiciously long time before calling the ambulance. She later killed herself.
    He was held down in a chair and drowned by having a wine bottle shoved down his throat.
    Evidently, Michael Jeffrey later admitted to a former Hendrix roadie that he had Jimi killed. ..and Jimi was telling people before he died that he feared for his life. He was also in the process of being a lawsuit against Jeffrey because of massive embezzlement.
    I think Jimi and Kurt are both VERY strong cases for murder. They aren’t your average “Tupac and Elvis are still alive” type of conspiracy theories.

      I wouldn't go so far as to say he was "almost certainly murdered" by anybody. Michael Jeffrey is definitely a scumbag, that's for sure; but "less than ten" sleeping pills could easily knock somebody out permanently, no matter how high their tolerance is. As far as Kurt's death is concerned, there's even less of case against Courtney Love of being anything beyond (or short of) a manipulative slut.
      I'm not saying that murder in either case is impossible, but it's highly unlikely.

    If you got 30 unaccounted minutes, and after those minutes, everyone's story changes, someone's guilty. It doesn't matter if Brian had a fit in the water, or Frank killed him. What they did after they found him tells you what the deal is.
    Janet's telling the truth. She realised to bring him up she did not have the strength to do it. It means Anna can't do it either. She has to call both of them, and I'm pretty sure Frank has gotten as far away as possible, hoping no one finds him til morning. Or a little while later. Janet happening to check on him was Brian's last hope.
    Frank & Anna are telling the truth about being in the water to pull him out. They need both to pull him up. One can't be doing the pulling up to hand him to the person waiting by the poolside. It just won't work.

    Motive. Oldham had just sold the Stones to Klein for about £1million and Klein, whose connections were mainly in the US, had booked a North American tour. He then discovered that legally he owned nothing because Brian owned the Stones not Oldham. They couldn't legally tour under the name "Rolling Stones" (and couldn't have toured with Brian anyway because he couldn't get a US visa). Both Oldham and Frank had criminal records and plenty of criminal connections. Oldham also hired Thorogood. It doesn't prove anything but it was one helluva lucky "tragic accident" for Klein and Oldham. I don't believe in coincidences when there are $millions at stake.

That is when they "found "Themselves. That is when they learned and developed their craft.
    Brian contributed nothing whatsoever to that difficult process. He only wanted to copy other people's blues songs he could memorize and ape on stage in a handful of London blues clubs. He had no vision for the band beyond the scope of that narrow and limited plan.
    Mick and Keith both had massive natural talents and they both were smart enough to know what they had and how to cultivate those talents into a desirable commodity that suited their performance abilities, talents and tastes. There is nothing easy or guaranteed in any of what the did.
    The Jagger Richards team was destined for greatness regardless of who came along for the ride and that is pretty much all that Jones did was to come along for the ride. and to jealously and thanklessly criticize their achievements that made him wealthy and famous...
