Look no further than this extremely well written book by Paul Trynka. I'm a teen, with a huge love for 60's rock 'n' roll music; The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in particular are my favorites. I have fond memories of my parents playing their music in the car when I was little. My mother is a huge Rolling Stones fan and she's the one who first introduced me to Brian Jones. I knew who John, Paul, George, and Ringo were (who doesn't?), but as far as the Rolling Stones, I only knew of the usual Mick and Keith. "Brian was my favorite, he was so cute. But unfortunately, he died very young," my mother told me. At that time, I was in my Beatles phase and didn't really care to learn more about other bands. But later on an interest sparked in me. I was determined to learn more about the Rolling Stones and this Brian Jones.After researching a lot on the internet and listening with a new ear to the Stones's music, I discovered just how amazing his musical ability was. I was hungry for more information but cautious of the credibility of the internet info. Lo and behold, I discovered this recently published book which I immediately ordered.When I first stared reading it, I was hooked. Trynka delivers an easy to read, step by step biography about the late founder of the Rolling Stones. The book is saturated with information about Brian, such as his creation of the distinctive riff in "The Last Time" or that he co-wrote "Ruby Tuesday" but gave credit to Mick Jagger. I already knew a lot about Brian but the book still provided facts about him that I didn't know. I was initially skeptic on buying this book because (as Trynka points out in the last chapter), most people focus on Brian's decline and death rather than his extraordinary music contribution. I love how Trynka talks in depth about Brian's early years with his unhappy home life, his fascination with Blues music, and his incredible dedication of making it as a musician. Trynka has interviewed pretty much everyone who knew Brian and the Stones personally. People like Marianne Faithfull, Stash, Pat Andrews, Linda Lawrence, John Keen (Brian's childhood friend), etc. The information is clearly presented with many facts and sources so there are no doubts about the credibility of his book.Trynka also addresses the many theories surrounding Brian's death in a special coda section at the end. He gives insight on each theory then provides fact which support or undermine each one.These days Keith, Mick, and Charlie have nothing good to say about their founder, which is very sad. It's easy for them to say that he was a terrible man who was addicted to drugs and was nothing but a pain. Not so, say many sources in this book. Brian was an extremely sensitive and vulnerable man, who just wanted, as Marianne Faithfull says, "someone to say 'Good Job, Brian'." You'll cringe as you read about the abuse he suffered at the hands of the rest of the Stones. This stemmed from a place of jealousy, the sources say, with Mick viewing Brian as competition for girls and Keith envying Brian's incredible guitar playing and gift for picking up any instrument and learning how to play it within a short amount of time.Brian Jones was the visionary, the most musically talented, the soul of the band. He was the one who got that band the gigs, he was the leader, he was the one who inspired Mick Jagger's "moves" and fashion, he was the one who taught Keith the open G tuning.Sadly, many people these days don't even know who he is. This book will enlighten them and anyone who wants to learn more about who exactly the great Brian Jones was.Brian lives on through his work. During his short time here on Earth, he accomplished more amazing things than anyone could've imagined.Rest in peace, Brian. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A walk back in time, through uncharted territory. *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2024* I have been a Stones fan for over 60 years and thought I knew everything about them. What I didn’t know then were the events leading up to Brian’s leaving the band and his subsequent death.This was not published nor was it common knowledge, at least to fans in the U.S. and perhaps in other countries.Paul Trynka gave Brian a voice. His book is well researched, based on fact not conjecture. Painful at times to read, it’s necessary to understand how and why it is important to understand how The Rolling Stones came to be and the man who is responsible for changing the face of rhythm and blues in Great Britain during the swinging 60’s.Well done! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Very good and well researched book, but fell in the old "1969" "Brian leaves Stones then dies" meme *by F***6 on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2015* I would have given it a full five stars, save for one formal complaint that is true for all biographers of Brian Jones. It seems most Stones biographers of Brian tend to use the year 1969 as "Brian leaves Stones and dies soon after." It is well know in British music circles Brian was planning to form a supergroup that may have included Jerry Shirley of Humble Pie on drums, and possibly Steve Marriott. He was obsessed with Creedence Clearwater Revival and wanted to form a band with a blues base but a CCR edge. Jerry Shirley confirmed Brian had called him up about a possible gig with a new group. This is exciting and I wondered why much of his visions of a new "supergroup" was not explored. I wish more Brian biographies would deal less with the death in 1969 and more on his unrealized plans for a supergroup. It was whispered that Keith and Mick were worried his possible new group would eclipse the Stones should it get off the ground. Interviews with Jerry Shirley and others involved in this possible supergroup would make an intriguing "what could have been". --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/21800538-brian-jones-the-making-of-the-rolling-stones](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/21800538-brian-jones-the-making-of-the-rolling-stones) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
