10 Music Film Biopics Not Yet Made
#3 - Rolling Stones - Play with Fire
Specifically, Brian Jones era Rolling Stones.
As I stated previously, in the age-old argument that makes the chicken and the egg seem like a no-brainer, Im firmly in the Rolling Stones camp rather than that of The Beatles.
As a huge Stones fan, I would love to see the early years of this legendary band brought to life on the big screen. Given their unprecedented continued success, I feel that a Stones biopic would draw huge at the box office and give the whole world a taste of the greatest rock n roll band of all times beginnings.
Brian Jones went on more of a journey than any of the other band members at the height of their early success the bands founder, who also acted as their manager in the early days, began to slowly become estranged from his bandmates in the years leading to his eventual departure from the band and subsequent death.
Jagger & Richards in particular became exasperated with Jones heavy drug use and alcohol abuse and it was widely thought that it was only a matter of time before he lost it completely. By the time the decision was made to officially remove him from the band, Jones had reportedly become a shadow of his former self and was virtually unable to make coherent music.
Not much more than a month after his departure from the band,Brain Jones was found dead at the bottom of his swimming pool the first member of the infamous 27 Club (Hendrix, Janis Joplin andJim Morrison would all be dead at the same age within two years).
Brian Jones is the sort of tortured soul whose story comes from a time that could be captured in such psychedelic and vibrant colours on the big screen think Oliver Stones The Doors but better.
And just imagine how awesome that soundtrack would be!
