Brian and Eric Burdon during rehearsals for "Ready, Steady, Go!"

- Brian Jones was the first Stone you met. Did it feel like you were joining his band?

Charlie: It was his band, really. He was the one with the passion. Brian also played slide and steel, things that people didn’t play. He’d play like Elmore James. We used to go to dances and he’d be playing [James’s] Dust My Broom. Nobody’d heard of this stuff.

- Do you think Brian would have been happy just to keep it like that – a purist R&B band?

Charlie: No. One of the things that fucked Brian up was wanting, and desperately trying, to be a star. He was a star, but he couldn’t cope with it, physically or mentally.
