The Problem With Brian Jones Nobody Wants To Discuss.

#BrianJones #TheRollingStones #RockHistory Brian Jones founded The Rolling Stones, gave the band its name, and helped create some of the most unforgettable sounds in rock history. So how did he become the one member the band could no longer keep? Most people know the tragic story of Brian Jones as the founding member of The Rolling Stones who was pushed aside by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards before his death at just 27 years old. But the real story is far more complicated. Brian Jones wasn't simply another guitarist in The Rolling Stones. He was the band's original leader, a gifted multi-instrumentalist, and the creative force behind many of the unusual sounds that made their 1960s recordings so distinctive.
