YMMV / Brian Jones

Go To

  • Diagnosed by the Audience: Brian was prone to mood swings, and there is speculation that he suffered from bipolar disorder. In addition, Bill Wyman, in his book Stone Alone, mentions that he was able to get in contact with one of Brian's illegitimate children, who had been diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy. It's entirely possible that some of Brian's health problems and eventual death may have additionally been caused by undiagnosed epilepsy.
  • Never Live It Down: By some accounts, Mick and Keith have never really let Brian off the hook for paying himself £5 a week more than everyone else, even though the incident in question happened nearly sixty years ago and Brian's been dead almost that long. Though, perhaps, it had less to do with a pay issue and more to do with Brian alledgedly hurting a woman so bad she had two black eyes, as well as raping her. Maybe.
    • And in a reversal of this trope, many fans have never let them live down their behavior towards Brian, much less their firing of him, and especially their failure to attend his funeral. (Mick had a slight excuse, in that he had to fly to Australia to shoot Ned Kelly (1970), and the producers wouldn't give him an extra day. And Keith just doesn't do funerals – not even his own parents'.)
