Oh let the poor soul rest in peace. He’s been gone 40 years and almost all those involved that evening are gone as well.

About time this was re-opened, the coldness of Jagger & Richards over the years has been a disgrace. If they had not met Brian Jones in 1962 and been fuelled into forming The Rolling Stones Jagger would be a bank manager & Richards a petty criminal.

Mick, Keith, Anita and Marianne killed him.

Always found it ironic that Jagger and Richards were fed up with Brian’s drug abuse and demanded he leave the band, yet Keith spent most of the 70’s and much of the 80’s stoned out of his head. Besides, the Stones themselves died aroud 1973, regardless of what Jagger might think.

It’s interesting that they are just now reopening the inquiry since this Thorogood story has been known for quite a while.
Brian Jones was very talented but he was no songwriter like Jagger/Richards and he brought a lot of bad feeling on himself through his egomaniacal behavior and poor treatment of others. Unfortunately that came back around to bite him.

The truth comes out in the end. Is evidence the right word?

This is news to me. i feel as if I’ve stepped into a 1969 time warp. Really, did you say! Murdered, did you say!I’ve believed Keith opted for a murder for hire. I’ve read other stories that Richards had people he didn’t like killed.

This is what’s known in the intelligence community as a “limited hangout”, whereby the culprits, in this case no doubt, MI5, present a show of honesty and justice, pay out a bit of obfuscating “line” and detirmine that yes, there is indeed a probability of foul play.
What then? Nothing, the sheep citizenry go back to sleep. The same thing was done in the States when they re-opened the Kennedy turkey shoot in 1976, found “probability” of a conspiracy and then again, back to sleep everybody!

One person posted “let the poor soul rest in peace”. I imagine that it might be a difficult thing for a soul to rest in peace if they were murdered and everyone was told it was an “accident”. The utter coldness and the total lack of empathy that I think both Jagger and Richards exhibited in their film 25 X 5 forever changed my opinion of them. The first wave “British Invasion” music is still some of the music I enjoy the most-40 years later. Being able to see the groups on TV like the Stones, Beatles, DC5 or any of the others was a big
treat back then. I always looked forward to seeing the Stones and it was because I wanted to see them perform of course, but also because Brian Jones was the coolest guy in the group. Sorry Mick, the first time on Ed Sullivan I thought you dressed like a bum. Keith, I hope you guys fired the photographer who did the “Out of Our Heads” American album cover photography. With all due respect, Charlie and Bill (whom I sincerely respect for his praise of Brian in the book Stone Alone) were in the background. Mick could scream and wiggle his backside all he wanted. It was perfectly obvious that the real star of the group was Brian Jones! I guess one might consider Forty Licks to be kind of a definitive compilation of the Stones greatest hits (I know there have been other compilations). However, the point is this: Out of the forty tracks, count the ones with Brian in the group and then the ones after Brian. You decide if that means anything!

Hendrix and Cobain… also murdered.

No one can write Chuck Berry covers like Keith Richards.

The original witnesses never changed their stories, but once they die off, suddenly somebody produces a “confession”.
Yeah, right. Anna Wohlin’s book was a joke and so were all the others. I don’t know what is in the new evidence, but chances are good it’s a bunch of baloney. Scott Jones is trying to make a movie about the death of Brian Jones, that should have been made clear in the original story.

I always thought that the treatment of Brian by Mick and Keith was over the top. I have been reading bios and the music business is worse than the mafia. So I just put it all together, and am very suspicious. Mick was crazy over Brian. He was self serving and obsessed with keeping attention off of Brian and on himself. He took Brians creation and took control to his own means. It all looks very disturbin to me.

It was the doppleganger that was killed. The real Jones died in a car crash.
“I read the news today, Oh boy.”

The big difference between Brian’s recreational activities and Keith’s is that Keith still showed up on time and was able to perform.
The Stone’s mantra has always been, “Do what you want on your own time but the band comes first”.
You can’t hold up your end of that deal, you’re gone.

Its about time the truth was fully revealed and the true tragedy of Brian Jones death exposed,even if its taken 40years. While he may not have had the same success as Jagger and Richards with songwriting, his true brilliance was as a multi-instrumentalist.Where would ‘Lady Jane’ be without the dulcimer or ‘paint it black’ without the sitar. He gave their songs an edge that made them unique and is the reason that people still listen to so much of the early Stones stuff.

Are you the same Tony Sanchez that wrote the book? Is that why Marianne tried to kill herself. And Keith anesthesize himself for the rest of his life.

Oh boy…

If you are ‘the Tony Sanchez’ you are probably the only one with a clear insight into what was going on at the time. I think you are right that those four certainly had blood on their hands. Mariannes’ vision of meeting a dead Brian when she had od’d in Australia seem to stem from her own sense of guilt?

i wonder who did gram parsons

maybe pete frampton dun it to stop him joining humble pie?

Let’s face it, in 1969 the CID had so much prejudice against “long-haired” rock and rollers, and if they were rich and famous and if they were known for drug use they would be deemed “guilty” without question. Sewing it up was more important than sorting it out properly. Ask Marianne Faithfull what she remembers. She had a major drug overdose that very week when Jagger starting filming Ned Kelly in Sydney. They didn’t attend the services (due to a prior contract); nevertheless, if it’s going to be pursued, there are still a few people left who are able to shed some light on it.

I always suspected the clue was in the final two lines of “Legend of a Girl Child Linda” by Donovan, who was obsessed all his live with Brian Jones’ girlfriend, Linda Lawrence. “My sword, it lies broken and cast in a lake
In a dream I was told that my princess would wake.”
Anyone else ever heard this?

When the Stones’ driver said the builder had confessed on his deathbed, he knew he would never be contradicted.
Now ask yourself why he KNEW that.

Sounds like the movie “Stoned”

The Hendrix case should be reopened also in light of current events.All those once crushed and devastated over the loss of Jimi and Brian can now be vindicated over the loss of two of Rock’s greatest sons.We don’t have them anymore but they did not let us down–they were taken from us.Music lovers and those interested in justice world wide take note and do something.Your Move.

Iknew it !I knew it!
Poor Brian!
Poor Baby!
