Brian Jones founded the Rolling Stones, and could master virtually any instrument he picked up- from guitar to Sitar to flute....
But alchoholism, drug busts and clashing egos with Mick jagger resulted in Brian being kicked out of the band, shortly before his death. Today some people downplay Brian Jones's relevance, suggesting he really didnt add anything to the sound.How important -or unimportant-was Brian jones to the Rolling Stones sound? What did the Rolling Stones lose once Brian died?

The Stones lost a founder member. Brian Jones was certainly a talented musician however like you listed he was unable to avoid some of the temptations that come along with this Rock 'N Roll lifestyle and so didn't get to see the fruits of his labour.

See the movie "Stoned" first. Brian was credited of having the ability to play 50 different instruments. Look at the liner of the Stones Aftermath album as some of the proof. Listen to tracks here and there. Alot of the unusual instruments were played by Brian and nobody else.

EXTREMELY important: He was the one who made the 'beer runs' .
The one who was connected! [eye wink!]
