That's so awesome! Gotta love Jonesy for facing up and paying Woody! Wow! Really awesome! Always known that Mr. Steve Jones has a heart! A great radio host plus an awesome vocalist and guitar player!
He's an honest man...most thieves will never admit to stealing anything. Steve Jones life is a lesson in character development. Where is the rest of this show? Didn't hear from Tony too much...
Hello just came back here and saw your reply. Luckily I had enough spares so all was not lost in fact my recording of that last show is on my website a www.robinmayhew.co.uk in the music store. Had some wonderful comments.
It really is a good book...a lot of insider stuff, rare anecdotal stories ...good pace, with a very real story to tell. Totally humble, understated...he was a support guy, doesn't pretend he was anything else, but he sure paid attention.
Jones is genuine enough to give $200 to a guy he respects yet stole from decades ago. Different individuals could have had a far more offended reaction to be offered a payout like this. Credit to Woody for the graciousness he exudes and the drum intros and fills on greats like 5 Years, Soul Love, and Starman. I don't think Bowie ever had a better drummer.
This is obviously a part of the Alcoholics Anonymous "Ten Steps" process things ...one of the "Steps" is "Wherever possible I will boldly and fearlessly make amends to all those persons I have wronged"...or something like that,I don`t remember the precise phrase.
Lets be honest, if any of us had the chance we would have done the same as Jonesy did. Who wouldn't want cymbals and an amp from the Spiders From Mars? Or a lipstick smeared mic from David Bowie? He wasn't turning the corner and selling it for $20 to the first person walking by. These were mementos from something special. He could never prove were he got them so he only had good equipment, no one would know who owned it previously. But it was nice of him to give Woody some cash for it. But that stuff was probably owned by the management company and was probably stuff that was stored in warehouses. They weren't the cymbals from the kit at his house, it was probably a band owned set, lol.
@@Eleventhearlofmars You could be right - I've never worked out who actually wrote that song in much the same way Bowie reckoned he penned My Way until reworked and made a hit by Sinatra
Sweet stuff! I uploaded yesterday a vid titled "90's Story Me, The Sex Pistols(sorta)etc etc..Story of Never Mind The Bullocks being the musical backdrop to the story of getting my first "bird".
Bodyknowledge 77 Always makes me smile that Americans quite often call the album "Never Mind The Bullucks"! A Bullock is a male cow of course. The album is called "Never Mind The Bollocks....Here's The Sex Pistols". Bollocks is British slang for testicles and is used as a simile for "nonsense" or "crap". Roughly translated, the album's title is "Never Mind All The Nonsense / Crap......Here's The Sex Pistols".
He's not sorry about anything, believe me this is nothing but virtue signaling . He doing this on the air, mind you..... Ask yourself "why is he doing this on the air?"
Do your research please; he's doing his Step 9: Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. And, believe me it's not easy: he will have done many of these over the years...it's a way of cleaning house; a spiritual step. He's done it online to hopefully inspire other adddicts that we can change and own our 'sick' behaviour. Jonesy has publicly admitted truly humiliating 'acting out' behavious such as being a 'peeping tom' ; & there is absolutely no virtue signalling about that! He's an honest man; courageously owning his self destructive and abusive behaviour to other. Respect to you Steve Jones!
Love Jonesy. He was a product of his environment but he's trying so hard to be a better human being... You really can't ask for more than that.
That's so awesome! Gotta love Jonesy for facing up and paying Woody! Wow! Really awesome! Always known that Mr. Steve Jones has a heart! A great radio host plus an awesome vocalist and guitar player!

amends is the key word...Jones been sober a long time and doing some recovery step work,beautiful and honest as you say.
Rick Jones if he wouldn’t of made it in the pistols he would of still been thieving and be in and out of jail.
@wildcatter63 exactly. well said
Steve's book 'Lonely Boy' is a great read,highly recommended
@MrMaxwell83 Yes, they were honest geezers then
Fair play Steve, that was closure on his part.
Sincere and genuine as well. A good man.
RIP David Bowie, Trevor Bolder, Mick Ronson & D.A. Pennebaker 🕯🖤
So here's Jonesy the guy who caused me a bit of panic on the morning of July 3rd 1973..
tell me more !!!!
Were they your Neumann mics?

@@jeshkam Literally name checked in the video, and if you're still stumped after that, give him a Google
It’s ok Robin.. he was a fan!
😳🤣
Jonesy: "So, how much were a couple of cymbals?"Woody:"One hundred and fifty thousand. Now get out of that one."Bowie must be laughing :)
priceless line
Oi Jonesy, you nicked my bike from Richmond swimming baths back in the 70's, time to make amends.
Genius! I laughed my heart out. Well done, Mr Jones.
Both Steve Jones and Woody are down to earth guys and this was touching.
Best ever Jones’s interview!!! Hilarious.
I love Jonesy!! His radio show is awesome.
U nicked the van too. A great person apologizes. An even better bloke accepts.
Woody has a great radio voice.
So many all-time heroes in the one room!
Steve Jones is Great best one of the Pistols easy
Woody's book is a great read.
It really is a good book...a lot of insider stuff, rare anecdotal stories ...good pace, with a very real story to tell. Totally humble, understated...he was a support guy, doesn't pretend he was anything else, but he sure paid attention.
Great book
Woody, great drummer!
This is how you stay sober children!
God bless you Mr. Jones you’re a fine man I admire you and look up to you
This is fantastic.

Saw U Boat at the Marquee
I stood at the front of the Small Stage, just watching Woody Drumming about 5 foot away
Steve should have a new show where the guests are bands he nicked equipment from.
The rock of Southern California, starring two british dudes. XD

Correct sir; only it's Step 9: Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Jonesy being straight up..great to see!
Such a legend Jonesy...✌🤟🤟👏👏

Jonesey, you never paid Sparks any money for stealing their stuff. Tut tut!!
+Janet Broadley ha,ha,ha - ouch ! Mind you Oasis never paid Bowie any royalties for constantly reworking his song "All the young dudes"
revol148 they paid it to mott the hoople in error. 😆
@@Eleventhearlofmars You could be right - I've never worked out who actually wrote that song in much the same way Bowie reckoned he penned My Way until reworked and made a hit by Sinatra
@but ton thanks for the info - I've never even heard of Paul Anka !?

Beefheart1 don’t be at the bollocks. 😂 ffs
Tony Visconti ?!?!
Thin Lizzy legendary producer
He asked for the real price on those days but historically they are more worth..but Steve did a good gesture saying the truth and paid him double.
It's a los angeles thing too...friends steal from friends
Fair play to you Steve
The Sex Pistols were always about respect, or lack thereof.
Here,s two hundred dollars.
I want to make amends.
Wow.
Nice one Jonesy
Love it
so cool
He,he real talk radio
the spiders from mars cool man?
Bowies mic will be worth a fuckin fortune now. lol
😂❤️ it!
Amends▪️Way Cool▪️
That is so fucking great ha ha!!!
Now Jonesy go and pay all those shop keepers for all the shop lifting you did in the 70,s lol.
Joe Rogan needs to go on Steve Jones. Steve is what joe would call a savage.
He paid him the 200 now he's just short the 149.800$
Classic
Jones is hard to respect as much as he brags at all the things he stolen.
150k hahaha
Cuz the Sex Pistols were the real thing.
