The Stones and Brian Jones

The Rolling Stones are very much alive in our house at the moment. Not just because the remaining members of the band released their first new album of original music in 18 years only a month ago. There have been benchmarks. I wrote a post for Mick’s Jagger’s 80th birthday, preceded a year earlier by ones on Brian Jones and Ian Stewart and of course a eulogy for Charlie Watts. (My much earlier…

Movie Review: The Stones and Brian Jones

Beyond the sub genre of music documentaries, there's almost a mini sub genre of docs about The Rolling Stones. Some of the best include Gimme Shelter, Cocksucker Blues (I got my bootleg DVD of this unreleased doc), Shine a Light and Crossfire Hurricane. But within that mini sub genre, there's been a trend in recent years of docs about members of The Stones: 2001′s Being Mick about Mick Jagger, 2015′s Keith Richards: Under the Influence, 2019's The Quiet One about Bill Wyman, and 2020's Ronnie Wood: Somebody Up There Likes Me about Ronnie Wood. Now there's a new doc about Stones guitarist Brian Jones, who co founded the band in 1962 and died in 1969 at age 27. Nick Broomfield's The Stones and Brian Jones opens this week.

Director Nick Broomfield has always been a fascinating figure in the world of documentary, in that he doesn’t play by the rules. He has made docs about musicians and public figures, but also socio-political docs as well. While some have accused him of being sensationalist in some of his films, the bigger issue some have is that he inserts himself into his docs and his making the film is as much a part of the film as the subject. Purists believe that documentarians should not get involved with their subject. I say break the rules if you’re going to do it in an interesting way! His 1998 doc Kurt and Courtney about Kurt Cobain was something I had mixed feelings about. While he brought up some interesting conspiracies about Cobain’s death, it also felt like Broomfield had an axe to grind with Courtney Love. But I digress. His 2019 doc Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love, about Leonard Cohen's muse Marrianne Ihlen and their relationship, was very impressive. Now he is turning his attention to Brian Jones, who he had some interactions with as a teen.

Early Stones circa early 60s: Wyman, Richards, Jagger, Watts and Jones

Guitarist Brian Jones co-founded The Rolling Stones, the British blues band influenced by American blues, who went on to become the biggest band on the planet for over 60 years now. He had quite a run with the band through the 60s before Mick Jagger and Keith Richards kicked him out of the band he founded due to his erratic behavior in 1969 and months later he died at age 27 (a member of the 27 Club). While Mick and Keith get the majority of recognition for The Stones, this doc makes the case for Jones' significant contribution to their sound. Through this blog I've been lucky enough to review a lot of Stones albums, including a number of them featuring Jones, i.e. Their Satanic Majesties Request 50th anniversary edition, Let It Bleed 50th anniversary Deluxe Edition, Rock and Roll Circus 2019 reissue, and On Air. The doc features interviews with a number of Jones' ex-girlfriends, friends and peers. What truly made this more than just another Stones doc was Bill Wyman. As we saw in the Wyman doc The Quiet One, he has been a lifelong archivist and photographer documenting his own life. In this doc, in addition to being a featured interviewee, he served as a historical consultant and the archival footage is spectacular! Some of it I was amazed how good it looked. At times it borders on For Fans Only, but this is an important archive of a notable musician whose work is still being heard today! Now, let's get some documentaries on Charlie Watts and Mick Taylor STAT!

“The Stones and Brian Jones” Coming to Video on Demand Nov. 17

“I’d do it 100 times over if I could,” a smiling Brian Jones tells an interviewer about founding the Rolling Stones, inherent pressure notwithstanding.

“I love it.”

The clip comes at the end of the trailer for director Nick Broomfield’s “The Stones and Brian Jones,” a new documentary releasing to video on demand Nov. 17, which “explores the creative musical genius of Jones … and uncovers how the founder of what became the greatest rock ’n, roll band in the world was left behind in the shadows of history,” per promotional materials.

The trailer nods to a “rivalry” between Jones and Mick Jagger over control of the Stones and notes a “visible friction” that developed between the multi-instrumentalist and the singer.

“A rock group is sort of like a primitive tribe,” a voice says. “Their whole lifeblood comes from that bond. Once nobody wants to talk to them, they just go off into the woods to die.”

Broomfield uses previously unseen film alongside interviews “with all the main players,” who are not identified, to tell the story of the man who founded the Stones in 1962, was fired in ’69 and died on July 3 of that year at 27.

“I felt sorry for him for what we did to him,” another faceless, unidentified interviewee says. “We took his one thing away, which was being in a band.”

Happy 75th, Nick Broomfield.

One of the best documentaries I’ve seen! It is truly as poetic as documentary.

It was very healing to see people who stay dear and near to each other no-matter-what-happens.

People’s lives and choices can be so awkward, irrational, strange, but the meaningful attempts and close bonds usually keep people together.

Many thanks for this piece of art!

I have never told it, but this film risks to become my favorite one… 🤫

Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love [2019]

"I'm right behind you, close enough to hold your hand (...). I have never forgotten your love and your beauty. But you already know that and I don't have to say anything else. Have a good trip, old friend. See you at the end of the road," Leonard wrote to Marianne shortly before her death, in perhaps the most accurate and romantic of omens: Ihlen died in July 2016 and Cohen died just three months later.

Rolling Stones interview featured on the new documentary "The Stones and Brian Jones," now available on DVD and streaming. The usual questions about their hair. I do love Charlie's complete disinterest; that got a laugh when I saw the documentary with an audience, lol.

[englebright]

have now watched nick broomfield's 'biggie and tupac' three and a half times in the last few days (once with commentary); the bit where he says some variation of "the mob pirus" with that weird inflection four times in 30 seconds 👌
