So many people say that you don't want to meet your heroes as it can often be disappointing. I'd take that chance in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything Steve Jones!
Lee McQueen Ditto. The honest voice of The Sex Pistols. If you want the truth and sensible comment on that era he's the man. Best to avoid the revisionist clown named Lydon - who was the absolute face from 76 to 82 and has done nothing but talk rubbish and release rubbish since that point. The Sex Pistols reunion stuff was a travesty.
Beefheart1 PiL put out some decent music and credit for Lydons there. Lydons has become a sell out to whatever will make him money. He's so contradictory it's become a real turn off.
Mr. Jones is one of the greats of RnR and a survivor…I hope he lives forever! As he shows at the end he is a great guitarist still, way beyond Punk, but his work then made him the best Punk guitarist ever!
Jonesy probably doesn’t understand it much, but we could just listen to him talk for hours on end about whatever. It doesn’t even matter what he’s talking about, it just works somehow. I love Steve, he has such great stories from back in the day.
Jonesy has always been my favorite! He's cool, funny, wise and talented. He had the best solo music of all the pistols. All kidding aside he has a great voice. He should do an acoustic album, covers/originals. I'm halfway through the book and it's great!
@@youjoker9647 agreed. Having just watched a video of Jonesy's music from 1989 (his Bon Jovi period) I think Troy Alexander needs to do his homework, unless he's a ~Hair Metal geek.
Jonesy got the greatest English voice . Getting sober helped him so much . He should play Old Fagin in oliver twist before he goes. Hes the lovechild of Fain and bricktop. A truly funny bastard
He has a rich West London accent. Cockney is East London take a minute and there is a distinct difference. Listen to his accent from 40 years ago it was a bellow especially on Frigging on the Rigging. ✌️
Been a long time since I tuned in to this show from giving Up XM Radio years ago. Nice interview with Steve Jones. I respect Mr. Jones as the formation of the Sex Pistols. Nice to see this on Utube.
Not all People in recovery care if people around them are drinking or smoking or sniffing or shootin (all to their own degree ofc) but focused people in recovery can remain clean even if in situations that seem contrary to recovery because with that, acceptance becomes the answer. But yeah totally empathize with what you’re sayin tho! Jonesy as usual handled it great.
He could do with losing a few pounds - couldn't we all! But he looked great back in the day. It's always hard to see your childhood heroes grow older I guess. He's still the man though and, in my opinion, turns into a better bloke as each year passes. It's like a version of "The Picture Of Dorian Grey": he gets better in direct relation to Lydon becoming more and more of a clown! He's the best of The Sex Pistols.
Jonesy could just read audio books for a living he's just got that voice that could melt butter, good to see him laughing about his situation if you don't laugh you'll cry type shit
Johnny Rotten is painful to listen to these days but that weirdness that puts you off now is what made the Sex Pistols special then. The Pistols were Rotten and Vicious - one's acute fashion sense and talent, the other for his looks and appearance. But Jones and Cook were the core of the band. I could listen to Steve's interviews all day long
Thank God people are starting to call Lydon out on being so pathetic instead of the last twenty years of people fawning over him and forgiving every lie. More to the point, thank God it's Jonesy calling him out!
I've been a fan for a lot of years but these days Lydon just bores me. He sometimes speaks a lot of sense still, but y'know he's more of a cartoonish caricature now. He doesn't seem to have the capacity to change and quite honestly should get some psychological help. Could you imagine being as angry as him your whole life? It's unfortunate. Look at Steve Jones, he has clearly changed quite a lot and seems happier for it.
Beefheart1 An absolutely valid point. I think John Lydon assumes he'll be misjudged as selling out if he changed. Anger is an energy, but by eck, when's he worn out, lol?!
Thing is John contradicts himself somewhat, saying he 'would have voted remain' alas he alters his tune and plays the working class card and admires Farage. The only thing I think he admires is the fact that Trump challenges the GOP and all policies in general. He wants jobs for all but at what cost, we'll yet to see. Debatable. Over to you dude
I think the thing that started my disapproval (for want of a better word..) with John Lydon was his attitude towards Joe Strummer with his death. I'm not saying they had to get along but he still had some (complete horseshit) venomous opinions of Joe when he died, and long after. Fast forward a number of years and he calls out the people taking pleasure in Margaret Thatcher's death as "cowards" and stating that an enemy is life is not an enemy in death (why? if you hated someone in life why are they suddenly exempt from that when they die? just move on) and such like. He also 'paid tribute' to Malcolm McLaren, a person who went out of his way to disrupt & make life hard for John. I'd love to see a journalist ask him why it's okay to slag off Joe Strummer yet have the opinion that you shouldn't hold a grudge once someone is dead... He's the coward.
I bet Steve was embarrassing introverted Paul with his aspergers like outbursts all of his life, although I'm sure Paul loved every minute of it still. I had a best friend that used to do that shit to me everywhere from Sunday school to just sleeping in with my girlfriend on a weekend and he would bust in the door and steal the blanket off us, leaving us exposed! Sadly, hes been dead for 2 decades now and I still miss him every other day, especially when he was trying to embarrass me the most! Lol
Right at the start Vic wipes his nose with his hand and then shakes Steve Jones' hand immediately. Shows how cool Steve is to shake his hand after that.
My first experience of the spitting thing was at a Damned gig, Rat Scabies started spitting at the audience and they reacted by spitting back, because he was on a drum riser he could reach the audience but they couldn't reach him, so the rest of the band copped the lot! I remember a lot later on at a Damned gig when Roman Jugg was playing the guitar, he stopped playing and told the audience to stop spitting or he would not continue playing, they stopped spitting!
glenny oc I think he’s always been more relaxed than John to be honest. John is just an unsettled person. I think from hearing about his life having meningitis as a kid changed his attitude towards life.
Love jonesy! He inspired me to start playing the guitar. The Joe Strummer story is bollocks btw. That was the first time he tried heroin and it hit him hard, so that story was concocted for the media
25:15 that`s a bit rich of Steve to say Johnny Lydon "just can`t let go of the past" when he`s just admitted he can`t have any kind of meaningful relationships with women because of the way his mother and stepfather treated him as a child.
@not jeffrey Now now, that's not nice lol. And guess what too; when a band that has the sound that captures the heart, mind and soul of their own generation's youth (like me! The first Sex Pistol's song I ever heard was Pretty Vacant, being stuck here in the snake pit of Dunedin New Zealand and not in the centre of the former Swinging (ugh) London) and they sing lyrics that claim they want anarchy and tell the press they're into chaos (for suck's fake!) then that's what they leave themselves open for. And leave Nancy and her memory alone anyway! She gave SID VICIOUS the love that he wasn't going to get anywhere else because if there's one thing the guy could never be described as, it's "a catch." Besides, she paid for it all in spades anyway. I mean, it can't have nice for her being on the receiving end of all the pent up rage that John Lydon in truth felt mostly towards the mother of his best mate from childhood. After all, it was her who drugged up her son and supplied him with the heroin he killed himself with, not Nancy. Talk about blaming the victim not jeffrey. Shame on you!
You idiots who watch liberal media don't EVER get any real news. It's all fake bullshit. Lies, race baiting, etc.... Learn TO THINK FOR YOURSELF. TRUMP HAS LOWERED UNEMPLOYMENT TO RECORD LOWS. OBAMA WAS A MASSIVE FAIL. UNEMPLOYMENT SKYROCKETED IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. WELFARE RECIPIENTS DOUBLED fuck you liberals and your fake news liberal media. If you are a LIBERAL, you are a straight up moron. Case closed
Lydon voted for Trump because he is smart. The liberal agenda is to destroy America. End of discussion. Now these fucktards are wanting socialism and open borders.. it's all coming out now. Their evil agenda. If you don't like Trump, go back to CNN for more fake news. example: idiots on CNN call Trump a facist?! All credibility lost right there. Facism is a leftist ideology. End of story
Who are these people that dribble? Steve Jones was a great talent. Natural talent and honed in skill and association. But who are these nobodies? Rebarbative wretches! Very poor!
Exactly...I love listening to Steve Jones...but this episode was a big pain in the ass...IDGAF honestly what they tell or say...I couldnt care less besides they laugh as RTDs....
Pistols with Jones and Paul Cook and a bass player (Matlock was perfectly good enough) could've had any fucking singer and would have been amazing. Rotten was tone deaf but had power but without his arsehole attitude they would have carried on and been better longer.
Without Lydon there would have been no "God Save the Queen" and "Anarchy in the UK". Post-Lydon, the Pistols (Jones and Cook) did stuff like "Lonely Boy".
Anybody that says they "read" a book and later admit they listened to the book are, in this particular instance, lowering themself to the Baba Booey level of intelligence...
This interview is turning me off Jones. The guy has mental problems peeping into toilets etc. I know it's likely from the abuse but still creeps me out.
Its tough since he cleaned up from drugs, booze, thieving, and peeping. You gotta at least let him have his pies! Also, in his book, he explains he was an exercise junkie (first with weights and 'roids, later some some fucking thing with stationary bikes), but then he got hurt from it. The meds left him bloated... w/o exercise all he has to "fill the hole" is music, the occasional "bird" ...and pies. Pies ARE healthier than smack no? Just take some cholesterol pills or whatever, he'll be all right.
In the book, Steve describes addictive "peeping Tom" Voyeuristic behavior. They touch on it in this interview. I'm surprised they didn't delve into SJ's libido, I would think that was up their alley.
Sure he was. Steve had been arrested 13 times by the time of the Pistols' 1978 US tour. Peeping was part of that, although when caught he would claim his purpose for being where he wasn't supposed to was stealing (another favorite hobby/addiction), since that was less embarrassing to admit. He even spied on other members of the band- he describes being out on a ledge on the 5th floor of a hotel to observe bassist Glen Matlock in intimate moments with a woman. His sexual deviancy stems (in all likelihood) from the molestation incidents he endured as a kid.
I don't think it's on purpose, it's because they don't actually know him and they've probably only ever heard of him refered to other than 'Steve Jones' like some sorta mythical demigod and not just Steve the guy next door.
Roxy! YES!! First FEW albums actually!! Always painful to listen to people who know nothing about music talking to a music historian...Ugh...cringe....
Love Jonesy - by far my favourite Sex Pistol. Very likeable and charming - far less dogmatic and annoyingly barky/political than John. That gets very tiresome after a while. For someone who claims to be so antithetical to uniforms and promoting the DIY ethic, he is incredibly blinkered. The Stooges any day. And Jonesy!
Do all yanks feel the need to TALK REAL LOUD but without any real substance. These radio guys are doin my head in "BWAHAHAHA *unfunny quip* BWAAAHAHA"....no wonder Lydon didn't smile much on there.
Jonsey is the coolest rock star ever. The kind of cool that dudes respect. And he’s a natural comic
True....Ive never heard anything bad about him by any rockstar...except John Lydon...
So many people say that you don't want to meet your heroes as it can often be disappointing.
I'd take that chance in a heartbeat.
Thanks for everything Steve Jones!
I fucking love Steve Jones.
Lee McQueen Ditto. The honest voice of The Sex Pistols. If you want the truth and sensible comment on that era he's the man. Best to avoid the revisionist clown named Lydon - who was the absolute face from 76 to 82 and has done nothing but talk rubbish and release rubbish since that point. The Sex Pistols reunion stuff was a travesty.
Beefheart1 PiL put out some decent music and credit for Lydons there. Lydons has become a sell out to whatever will make him money. He's so contradictory it's become a real turn off.
Amazing interview. Steve Jones is the shit.
Had to keep pausing this riot of an interview with the lengendary Steve Jones ,as lmao,candid,witty and the interviewers Are cool
Great interview. Thanks for posting.
I'm 33 and I love you Steve Jones love your attitude and truth.
I'm sure steve's life has been enriched massively by knowing that.
@@patkelly3966 especially the ''I'm 33'' detail, very important.
Too old for Steve.
Mr. Jones is one of the greats of RnR and a survivor…I hope he lives forever! As he shows at the end he is a great guitarist still, way beyond Punk, but his work then made him the best Punk guitarist ever!
They rocked hard on that 1996 tour....best they ever sounded with Glen on bass.....Steve was open to really play....Cookie was in top form also.....
Genuine people are few and far between these days. A great interview.
Jones is totally a living legend love this interview,brilliant stuff thank you.
Jones is great but that hillbilly needs to learn to let the guest talk. How many times did he interrupt Jones?
that's becase they are just talking about things like you do & not a normal / usual interview it's the same on Steves show.
I find them annoying af....really annoying....love Jonesy though
Jonesy probably doesn’t understand it much, but we could just listen to him talk for hours on end about whatever. It doesn’t even matter what he’s talking about, it just works somehow. I love Steve, he has such great stories from back in the day.
Jonesy has always been my favorite! He's cool, funny, wise and talented.
He had the best solo music of all the pistols. All kidding aside he has a great voice. He should do an acoustic album, covers/originals.
I'm halfway through the book and it's great!
PIL have released some fantastic stuff. John McGeoch era especially
@@youjoker9647 agreed. Having just watched a video of Jonesy's music from 1989 (his Bon Jovi period) I think Troy Alexander needs to do his homework, unless he's a ~Hair Metal geek.
@@patkelly3966 spot on . Lydon dedinately had the most solo sucess
His Instagram is the best thing I’ve seen hands down - it just makes your day every time.
Great interview.
Jonesy got the greatest English voice . Getting sober helped him so much . He should play Old Fagin in oliver twist before he goes. Hes the lovechild of Fain and bricktop. A truly funny bastard
Typical ridiculous comment. England has lots of accents within a small country. Idiot's think everyone is a Thames estuary/ Cockney accent.
You Joker it's just his opinion
He has a rich West London accent. Cockney is East London take a minute and there is a distinct difference.
Listen to his accent from 40 years ago it was a bellow especially on Frigging on the Rigging.
✌️
Punk rock legend
Steve Jones escaped from the plantation. Good for him. It was rough in the class-ridden UK. Still is. He made it out. God bless him. Great bloke.
Been a long time since I tuned in to this show from giving
Up XM Radio years ago. Nice interview with Steve Jones. I respect Mr. Jones as the formation of the Sex Pistols. Nice to see this on Utube.
I listened to it on Audible also...over and over. It was great
My heart sinks, at the smell of marijuana . And how insensitive those boys are, knowing SJ is a recovering addict
Not all People in recovery care if people around them are drinking or smoking or sniffing or shootin (all to their own degree ofc) but focused people in recovery can remain clean even if in situations that seem contrary to recovery because with that, acceptance becomes the answer. But yeah totally empathize with what you’re sayin tho! Jonesy as usual handled it great.

It's like a version of "The Picture Of Dorian Grey": he gets better in direct relation to Lydon becoming more and more of a clown! He's the best of The Sex Pistols.
Steve Jones is so brutally honest, it's raw & perfect 👌
When Pete Townshend writes a song about meeting you...how cool is that?
what song is that?
@@rudikeegan Who are You?
Without this guy there would be no Sex Pistols. Massive influence
Without Lydon,Cook & some extent Matlock & McClaren certainly no Pistols
Yeah... we know! Shut the fuck up!
It was his band from the beginning.
How amazing is Steve Jones, brilliantly funny, and personable
I love this man...such a great talented overall brilliant character...and so down to earth
What's Steve's instagram? can't find it for some reason or other
I think uve found it but jonesysjukebox :)
Jonesy's Juboxe
I read the book this summer, it is excellent
kind of a conflicted character, but clearly a pretty introspective person, some decent insights. at least he's genuine
Let him speak ffs !
Jonesy could just read audio books for a living he's just got that voice that could melt butter, good to see him laughing about his situation if you don't laugh you'll cry type shit
One of the Best Guitar Sounds ...Something about his Les Paul through a Marshall Amp....
It was a Fender Twin Reverb on the album.
Johnny Rotten is painful to listen to these days but that weirdness that puts you off now is what made the Sex Pistols special then. The Pistols were Rotten and Vicious - one's acute fashion sense and talent, the other for his looks and appearance. But Jones and Cook were the core of the band.

Steve occasionally does a good impression of this type of Radio Personality on Joneseys Jukebox.
Steve Jones is a national treasure!
What?
He’s not the nicest to women.
Thank God people are starting to call Lydon out on being so pathetic instead of the last twenty years of people fawning over him and forgiving every lie. More to the point, thank God it's Jonesy calling him out!

Amazing guy!
What’s his managers name, sitting in the back ground?
The expression 'Keeping it real' could have been made for Steve Jones.
Steve and Paul are hilarious together
I bet Steve was embarrassing introverted Paul with his aspergers like outbursts all of his life, although I'm sure Paul loved every minute of it still. I had a best friend that used to do that shit to me everywhere from Sunday school to just sleeping in with my girlfriend on a weekend and he would bust in the door and steal the blanket off us, leaving us exposed! Sadly, hes been dead for 2 decades now and I still miss him every other day, especially when he was trying to embarrass me the most! Lol
Can you sing?
No I'm black
Rap then
Damn Steve 😂😂
His book is the most honest autobiography ever
Right at the start Vic wipes his nose with his hand and then shakes Steve Jones' hand immediately. Shows how cool Steve is to shake his hand after that.

Steve rises above the rest as usual, what a brilliant bloke
I like the black fella who did not read the book nor he has a clue who the Sex Pistols were. I like him but seriously
alexander dragutinovic he was very immature
Top bloke - great banter
didn't know steve was this interesting. pistols were quite an assemblage of characters
Genuine Guy, respect him.
Steve Jones much more tee relaxed than Johnny these days
glenny oc I think he’s always been more relaxed than John to be honest. John is just an unsettled person. I think from hearing about his life having meningitis as a kid changed his attitude towards life.

Steve is so sweet.
why does he keep calling him Steve Jones rather than just Steve? it feels like hes taunting him in some weird way.
Because he's a has been/never was hack that has no idea how to handle himself.
Anthony made him.
Period.
Period.
25:15 that`s a bit rich of Steve to say Johnny Lydon "just can`t let go of the past" when he`s just admitted he can`t have any kind of meaningful relationships with women because of the way his mother and stepfather treated him as a child.
Difference is Steve's well over it he can give and take jokes about it Lydon's nowhere near that chilled
You're drawing a false equivalence and you know it. Rotten is a vain, egomaniacal, insufferable asshole. Big difference.
Nancy was from Philadelphia not New York. She just lived in the Big Apple for a while before she moved to England.

These satelite radio midwits manage to make this interview unlistenable- will have to check out Jones radio show, however

What documentary was Steve talking about?
Who Took Johnny
Cool interview
Cool is Jonesy...the others suck as hell...
Who are these people that dribble? Steve Jones was a great talent. Natural talent and honed in skill and association. But who are these nobodies? Rebarbative wretches! Very poor!
The black dude is a Comic
Has the woman behind Steve been paused? Lol
Is that Steve JONES ?
Great Steve, shame to be surrounded by these blah blah blah eejits
Totally. Fucking idiot's.
Exactly...I love listening to Steve Jones...but this episode was a big pain in the ass...IDGAF honestly what they tell or say...I couldnt care less besides they laugh as RTDs....
i love him god saved the pistols there will always be an england and a scotland
Pistols with Jones and Paul Cook and a bass player (Matlock was perfectly good enough) could've had any fucking singer and would have been amazing. Rotten was tone deaf but had power but without his arsehole attitude they would have carried on and been better longer.
Ian Wilson U r wrong!!
not so sure about that. Rotten really made them with his snarling delivery
Without Lydon there would have been no "God Save the Queen" and "Anarchy in the UK". Post-Lydon, the Pistols (Jones and Cook) did stuff like "Lonely Boy".
Anybody that says they "read" a book and later admit they listened to the book are, in this particular instance, lowering themself to the Baba Booey level of intelligence...
appart from this guy w a cap on...I find the others annoying af...Jonesy deserves better than this
To be fair, Jonesy has read one book in his life - Junky by William Burroughs. He only listens to books, if he picks one at all
What’s with the beanie hats, is it a bit chilly in the studio? Perhaps they’re bald!😂
This interview is turning me off Jones. The guy has mental problems peeping into toilets etc. I know it's likely from the abuse but still creeps me out.
He's honest though. You don't think most of these old rock & pop stars haven't gotten away with some real disgusting fucked up behaviour
Bear in mind those incidents were almost fifty years ago. Steve was a very unhappy and confused kid, and he doesn't do that sort of thing anymore.
Over talking guffawing walkers. Why are they here?
Yeah. Walkers
Steve you gotta get fit mate as you have a lot still to do on this planet.
Its tough since he cleaned up from drugs, booze, thieving, and peeping. You gotta at least let him have his pies! Also, in his book, he explains he was an exercise junkie (first with weights and 'roids, later some some fucking thing with stationary bikes), but then he got hurt from it. The meds left him bloated... w/o exercise all he has to "fill the hole" is music, the occasional "bird" ...and pies. Pies ARE healthier than smack no?

You got me on the "peeping" ,comment?
In the book, Steve describes addictive "peeping Tom" Voyeuristic behavior. They touch on it in this interview. I'm surprised they didn't delve into SJ's libido, I would think that was up their alley.
+Cheetah Thunders. I hope he wasn't spying on people without consent...
Sure he was. Steve had been arrested 13 times by the time of the Pistols' 1978 US tour. Peeping was part of that, although when caught he would claim his purpose for being where he wasn't supposed to was stealing (another favorite hobby/addiction), since that was less embarrassing to admit.

His sexual deviancy stems (in all likelihood) from the molestation incidents he endured as a kid.
It's so patronizing the way Opie keeps calling him Steve Jones.
I don't think it's on purpose, it's because they don't actually know him and they've probably only ever heard of him refered to other than 'Steve Jones' like some sorta mythical demigod and not just Steve the guy next door.
So glad Norton had no part in this interview. His musical knowledge is terrible
The black guy ridiculous very immature
RIP Opie's career.
You do good interviews, Opie. you'll succeed more if you head that direction
Oh man “ Love is the drug I’m thinking of ohh oh oh “
Too many of these laughing clowns.
Totally agree w you....very very annoying
Absolutely Very Interesting
Steve is a top bloke but these guys are pathetic very modest abilities as radio hosts, could not watch the whole thing coz of them
it got better
Stop saying his full name ffs
I feel bad for jonesy now
46:14 Jonesy plays acoustic guitar !!/:) hmmmm, yum !
Roxy! YES!! First FEW albums actually!! Always painful to listen to people who know nothing about music talking to a music historian...Ugh...cringe....
cutie Jones!
These fucking nobodies laughing at his molestation is pissing me off
Love Jonesy - by far my favourite Sex Pistol. Very likeable and charming - far less dogmatic and annoyingly barky/political than John. That gets very tiresome after a while. For someone who claims to be so antithetical to uniforms and promoting the DIY ethic, he is incredibly blinkered. The Stooges any day. And Jonesy!
Par fect avin Steve on 👍
Did he hit you? No he molested me... oops! Awkward that
Do all yanks feel the need to TALK REAL LOUD but without any real substance. These radio guys are doin my head in "BWAHAHAHA *unfunny quip* BWAAAHAHA"....no wonder Lydon didn't smile much on there.
