Y'all must remember or be educated that in the U.K. American Rock and Roll was banned but Chicago Blues (Black Music incl. Chuck Berry) was what the Beatles, Jones were listening to and learning how to play in the local clubs and German clubs, England was the Mersey Beat, Brian Epstein et al dominating the air waves in 61, 62, of Which Gerry and Pacemakers were killing it with catchy lovesick tunes. (Loved it) But Cliff Richard sappy pop star shit was mainstream, so by 64 you gotta a blues band competing with the Liverpool wave. Dave Clark Five, Freddie and the dreamers and Hermans Hermits. But Satisfaction, Get offa my Cloud were huge. So Yes Jones Gave us the Stones, we can Blame Brians Mom for allowing Dad to be such a cnt to Brian. The war created a lot of cnts at home, Brian's death probably keep Keith alive, and John Lennon too because no doubt they would have conceded brains and talent to Brian and yet chemistry done him in.

Its not addiction as much as its being uncomfortable with you self and your situation that you created. Once regulated, its all right now, in fact it's a gas.

Eruc gave kieth his first black guard whilst attending mick and Bianca nuptial. He knew kieth would dig this plankboard dry thin rhythm machine

None of that second side would have materialized if not for the invited presence of gram parsons. He coukd have the same bad habits and not be considered a hangers on.

Kieths all balls out outtros are the joyous rollicking endings to these songs where uf you didn't know better you'd feel like its the last time youll ever be rocking again in your life. So youd better make the best of it.

Mick Taylor period was the best. Loving Cup is a great song. My favorite album is Let it Bleed.

People need to be taxed to pave the way for illegal immigrants.

How is it the best? Its not even thier best

Really well made video. Excellent clips and editing. But why use an artificial narrator? It always sounds stale and certain words are hilariously mispronounced.

My fav Keef riff is "This channel sux bollocks".

Not to mention that Bill never got credit for Jumpin' Jack Flash. He came up with the riff and started the tune. Mick and Keith took credit for it and gave him no credit.

The Stones were at their best in the 70's in my opinion. Brian was long gone by then.

Interesting how Red Rooster was never a single by the Stones in the USA, but a hit in England.

For the so called greatest album, it doesn't get played that often out there. I'd say Who's Next gets way more air time, and is used in commercials and in the public domain way more often and so that would be a better way to measure an albums greatness. I do love both albums however.

Brian didn’t wantto be an uncool unfashionable geriatric ….he was always hot and young and fashionable..god bless him..

Ripped off blues riffs do nothing for me.

The most over rated player ever.

I don't think the riff is in unappreciated,.... not by me or any other guitarist I know anyway

I know there's a reference to "Cousin Cocaine", but I can't stop thinking that a "sister" is the same thing as a head nurse in the UK given the sickness morphine can produce.

Other than "I Just Want to See His Face"- the sound quality on this album was not good ...

Good footage but incipid writing, corporation promotional gobble.. Or was it written by AI ?

Raw and powerful, great blues rock!

Exile is hype, and actually only the benefactor of previous Stones albums. 4 or 5 memorable tunes out of 18 tracks does not make a great album..

I saw them in the front row at JFK stadium.1981 Philadelphia, I Remember thinking when did he break his E string ..I was waiting to see a roadie bring him another but nope, he played that Tele and played it well..At the time I was unaware It was intentional..Such a great musician and inspiration ❤..I Wonder if they will make longevity medicine out of his remains..Makes me think about that Willie Nelson cut "Roll me Up and Smoke Me When I Die " ❤

Great album but Sticky Fingers edges it out.

Y’all got cocaine eyes!!!!

For years I have been telling people this album is the best album in the history of music.

Remove the question mark please...

I always thought Monkey man was about heroin addiction which has often been described as having a monkey on your back, and there is the reference, to a lemon squeezer, well lemon is used when preparing an injectable dose of heroin in a spoon as users do.

From this is the least favourite stones album. Also feel its actually a low point for the 70s for them, never got the hype for Exile at all. Cant even get thru the first two songs without being bored bored bored. Let It Bleed is their masterpiece not this throwback collection of overindulgent love letters to "rock n roll".

Ritchie was at his best in the studio where he came up with fantastic riffs and red hot solos

Brian's contribution on "Mother's Little Helper" coolest riffs played on a 12-string guitar with slide and the tambura that distinct sound RIP

I’d probably say the most overrated guitarist in history, 👍

Brian Jones RIP ❤️💜❤️💯💯

Underrated and Feloniously under appreciated 😎

Best riff ever

Great album. Thanks for sharing.

Bill Wyman siempre ha sido honesto y realista...Brian era la esencia y alma de los Stones...Mick, Richards y Watts son mercenarios y comparsa de la envidia.

great making of

It is overrated by critics. I prefer Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers over Exile, especially Sticky. Exile still has some of the Stones' greatest jams like Tumbling Dice, Loving Cup, Rocks Off, Sweet Virginia, Soul Survivor .

I appreciate Bill's continuous defense of his late, undeniably talented friend, but let us not be bamboozled into believing Brian was just an innocent victim of the "malevolent" Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. By most trustworthy accounts, the guy was a walking disaster who lacked the maturity, self-discipline, and sober mind to survive an unforgiving and often vicious business. Here follows just a few of Brian's documented faults: He sired a half dozen or more illegitimate children (*frequently with underage mothers); willingly imbibed in all possible narcotics and booze the world could then offer, physically and (more often) mentally abused his innumerable girlfriends; and, with his increasingly erratic behavior and poor work ethic, proved a constant sore in the side of Jagger, Richards, Oldham, and others who were intent on the band enduring as a major commercial success. All the biographical facts above do not suggest a functioning, kindly, and gentle-natured young man who was willfully taken advantage of and then cruelly cast aside by those he thought were his friends, do they? The raw truth of the matter is that, by the end, Brain, for all his talents and contributions to the Rolling Stones, could no longer function in ANY capacity as a member of the band he founded and therefore had to be let go. Even in the nadir of his overpublicized heroin addiction during the '70s and '80s, Keith Richards could still contribute musically in the studio, and rarely proved a major obstacle to the band's viability. Not so with Brain! Maybe now, in this age of behavioral therapy and drug rehab, his problems would've been handled more gently and with greater compassion by his bandmates and a way could've been found for him to continue with the band without jeopardizing their careers. But this is all baseless speculation! In simple point of fact, no person contributed more to Brian's untimely end than Brian himself.

Mick Taylor was good in his own way but on a different trajectory to the other Stones imo.

Wyman and Charlie didn't provide the main rhythm. That was laid down by Rocky on drums and Keith on bass. Charlie and Bill added percussion instruments, but they aren't the primary rhythm.

To even ask if another human being is useless is an assertion that you yourself, are in fact useless. RIP Brian - only lived 27 fucking years what do you want... accomplished more than 98 percent of this toxic comment section.

No one showed Brian how, he show them how. I wish he had formed another because there were plenty of fledgling talent around then.

Dude is a lightweight

As enough of a Stones fan for 50yrs and owning every album up to Tattoo You, I have never though much of ½ of Exile. Some really good stuff and lots of throw away songs like Casino Boogie. It's "OK" in my book.

The best albums were Beggars Banquet and Let it Bleed. And don't forget, Aftermath… of course.

The person who wrote the subtitles doesn't understand the accents of the Rolling Stones and is also a bit illiterate.

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were interested in the Blues before they joined the Rolling Stones according to Keith Richards autobiography and in that same book he said that the band was named when one of them (can't remember who) was asked for the name of the band by a (record company?) over the phone and they didn't have one but his eye was caught by the word Rolling Stone or Rolling Stones in some text or magazine that was lying about. P.S. Seems like it was Jones according to this video.
