Stephen Philip Jones, was born on September 3rd, 1955 in West London. His real father, an amateur boxer, named Don Jarvis left Steve and his mother when he was just two years old. Sometime later his Step-father arrived on the scene, for a time, Steve lived in a house with his parents and grandparents, and at the age of 12 moved to a one-bedroomed basement flat with his mother and step-father, in Shepherds Bush. He didn't have a happy childhood and felt that his mother hated him. He didn't want to get a job and at the age of 16, his step-father threw him out of the family home, for that very reason. By this time, Jones already had a criminal record dating back to 1968 and had spent a year and a half in a reform school. This did little to thwart his criminal intentions. By the age of 18, he was not far off ending up in jail. Realising that music was his only way out of the life he hated, he started up a band. In 1972 Q.T. Jones and the Sex Pistols were formed, Just a few years later, with a line-up change, a switch to guitar from vocals for Jones and the name cut in half, Jones would be part of what were once one of the most notorious bands in the UK at that time. The break-up of the Pistols led to drug problems for Jones, most notably an addiction to Heroin, which would last until 1987, until Jones got himself clean and started work on his very first solo album. 1989 gave us a second and Jones continued his work within the music scene until 1996 when not only did he have the Neurotic Outsiders, but also the Sex Pistols re-united for a world tour. Steve has had the opportunity to showcase his acting skills, in four films, in recent years. He is also a football player for Hollywood UTD and continues to produce various bands.

On Glen Matlock, the original bassist for The Sex Pistols: &quot;I kind
regret him leaving, because Sid (Vicious) couldn&#39;t play a fuckin&#39;
note.&quot;

On how he learned to play guitar: I would wake up in the morning, take
a Black Beauty (Speed), and play one little note for like, 5
hours.

On the Sex Pistols&#39; contribution to the music business at the time:
&quot;We&#39;re not into music. We&#39;re into chaos.&quot;

Talking about an old shirt that Ronnie Biggs gave him: &quot;I&#39;ve got a
shirt of his, know anyone who wants it - I&#39;ll flog it to &#39;em.&quot;

I lost everything financially and emotionally. I was literally walking
up and down Hollywood Boulevard with one pair of jeans and one pair of
tennis shoes, looking to steal a handbag off some old lady to get
another fix. - talking about his heroin addiction, during the 1980s

[on his radio show] We had a young band in here a few days ago and I
just don&#39;t understand. These younger musicians in bands, twenty ...
twenty-three years old, they don&#39;t have anything to say! When I was
twenty-one we were in it for a laugh, but these younger bands ... they
just don&#39;t have a clue. It&#39;s like pulling teeth to get them to say
anything. - August 2005
