George Harrison and Brian Jones had a special kind friendship.

George Harrison on the other hand had a more pleasant memories of Brian. He was a special friend and while the music press was making money by making rumors about the Beatles and the Stones rivalry, George had mentioned his friendship with Brian on several books including the Beatles Anthology.

George had mentioned Jones would come to his house often and they would chat together and exchange ideas.

“He would come to my house and shout ‘George! George!’

“I would let him in. He was a good mate. He would pick up my sitar and play it then the next thing I knew he did ‘Paint it Black’”

This was mentioned during the time the Beatles had just finished recording ‘Norwegian Wood’ featuring George Harrison on sitar.

So the influences between the two biggest groups in the planet were constantly moving. Not to mention their friendships and respects with each other.

George also mentioned Brian on the Beatles Anthology as a good friend and how he was delighted with the common things they both share:

“We share similar positions in the most prominent bands in the universe. Me, with John and Paul and him with Mick and Keith.

“We even share the same birthdays; me on the February 25th and him on February 28th.”

Harrison also mentioned of seeing his good friend Brian Jones not long before he died and how he was saddened to hear of his death.
