The Stones and Brian Jones

"Guitarist Brian Jones was a founding member of The Rolling Stones in 1962. He quit the band in 1969 and shortly afterwards drowned in his swimming pool. The Stones and Brian Jones highlights those seven turbulent years.
When Brian Jones left The Rolling Stones in 1969, he had been a burden for a few years. A loose, unpredictable cannon. Jones surely couldn't have imagined that seven years earlier. The guitarist was the founder of the band, in the beginning the indisputable leader and even the main showpiece, although he wasn't the lead singer. But he had charisma and sex appeal to spare. Alcohol and drugs undermined his reliability, however, and by the mid-1960s Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were the creative core of the band. Director Nick Broomfield (Kurt & Courtney, Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love) focuses on the guitarist's personal life in his documentary The Stones and Brian Jones, which is filled to the brim with archival footage: from the problems Jones had with his parents over the many children with various children to his turbulent relationship with Anita Pallenberg."
