Mick pretty much has been a health freak since the 70s.
Yep. Some fine work on “Mad Dogs And Englishmen”.
YIKES!!!
Bobby was a real partier and it finally caught up with him. He was Keith’s partner in crime and drugs and drinkin so Keith liked having him around.
In the early 1970s he was on tour with the Stones. In France he took a girl upstairs to his hotel room and filled the bathtub with champagne they both bathed in
Brown Sugar too!!!
Saw that earlier...according to the article he was quite the character and gave Mick and Keith a run for their money. It’s a shame, one by one these icons leave us...and when I take a look at some of the younger musicians who came up the ranks behind them, I am seeing fewer and fewer “legends.”
>> I am seeing fewer and fewer “legends.”<<
There aren’t any. The music of today is pure crap.
I was getting a haircut the other day and the radio was playing “I want to hold your hand” by the Beatles.
I did some quick arithmetic and realized it was nearly 50 years old! I then did some more math and realized that in 1965 that songs 50 years old would have been from the 1910s!
Great rock has staying power. The nonsense of the last 20 years doesn’t have any shelf life at all (cRap and whony millennial sounds have no “catalog” power).
*ping* ‘Bo.
It’s so odd that almost no one remembers Ian Stewart. Ian was an original Stones member, played keyboards on every album through the mid-eighties and played concerts, but no one thinks of him as a Stone. I recall seeing a Stones concert and Ian was sort of tucked away at the back of the stage next to Keith’s amplifier. I never understood why he was kept hidden, but I am guessing that he just didn’t want the craziness with being an official Stone.
He may not have played that 69 show you saw but he did go on all tours 1970 and beyond. That’s still not enough commitment or cred to be IN the band?
My recollection on that Dom Perignon story is that Bobby ended up spending every dime of his money from the tour to pay for that room service stunt.
RIP.
Brian Jones
28 February 1942
Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England
Died 3 July 1969 (aged 27)
Hartfield, Sussex, England
(Unless you’re talking about Keys)
Yup Ian Stewart he was one of those original members who was not.
these guys were the best. I Remember being at a Christmas party in 1968 where we played beggars banquet over and over ad nauseous. Except no one there got nauseous listening to it. (This being the 60’s nuff said).
On that note, the story I tell is that c.1980, I saw Keith play with The New Barbarians. We were 10’-15’ away from him, right on the stage wall on the floor in the days of “festival seating,” AKA standing on the open arena floor or grabbing any available seat on the sides.
He looked like death warmed over THEN!
Yeah, I was referring to Keys. Brian Jones was out of the Stones at the time of his death.
