This guy may not be Jimmy Page, but he has impecable timing. He underates himself! He really made the Sex Pistols stand out from the crowd with his strong driving rhythm playing. As much of an influence in rock music as any of the great masters.
the pistols arejust an inpiration to me i was playing guitar for a little while thinking of giving up my mom ex punk lol told me look up the sex pistols next time you go to a cd store got the never mind the bollocks album picked up my guitar started to pick out the songs then seen a book that said sid was a huge ramones fan loved dee dee picked up the ramones first album picked out the songs now im hooked never put down my guitar listening to music 24/7 thanks to sex pistols ramones my idols :)
no actually he dident,that is a burny les paul witch fernandes gave him for free when he stopped using gibson in the late 90's,also the original gibson les paul was given to him by malcom mclaren who got it from sylvain sylvain of the new york dolls when they split. you can also see sylvain using it before steve in 74 on the don kirshner show on youtube
please please please can anyone tell me how to get that sound. I have a Gibson les Paul classic. I've tried cranking the mids to about 8 or 9, treble 4-ish and bass 6 no reverb. amy suggestions would b good
i think you have a problem with the amp. there's no reason why you can't get that sound or even better using a les Paul and Marshall. the bloody things are MARRIED!!
True he stole equipment from Bowie. I think at the end of the day, it's just what he had. I could imagine he might've gotten the pedal on purpose since the Fender Twin can't distort like that naturally.
No, as in how everyone see them is all from Malcolm work, and the only reason that John Lydon join the band is the fact he use to hang around in the "Sex" store the Malcolm owned at the time
Steve jones stole his original Les paul, (not this one), off of David Bowies guitarist backstage at a concert along with some amps when the pistols were wworking as roadies
They wern't working as roadies, they wern't even together then, Steve, Paul and Wally Nightingale decided to start a band, they had no instruments so they snuck into hammersmith apollo when the roadies were setting up for the Farewell Ziggy tour, stole all the gear and cut the mics while the roadies were asleep in the front Row.
As for THAT guitar, it's a burny. His Gibson Les Paul has changed hands a few times but he has it back now, he has to keep quiet though because I likes to sell fakes as the real thing
oh but the original guitar was a Gibson les paul custom, but that is a burny les paul custom.... Story goes, steve jones wanted a custom edition les paul from gibson but they wouldnt make him one so he got the burny instead, apparently!! i know too much lol
i heard that malcolm mclaren got it from Sylvain Sylvain when he visited the US. maybe not!... Dunno where i hesrd that lol, think i read it in a johnny rotten book, no black. no dogs, i thinks.
lol steve stole that guitar, it used to be Sylvain Sylvains from the New York Dolls, check out the dolls video on Stranded in The Jungle, the guitar Sylvain is playing is the guitar he has, or atleast thats a rumor i heard haha
I taught myself how to play guitar by learning all the pistols tunes at school-Steve Jones always had great tone and I loved his chunky power chord riffing-not the best lead player out there(then)but that didnt matter-the songs more than made up for it!Steve is also one cool geezer!Would love to meet him and watch him play
Steve, the greatest ever... an example to all the music world of the meaning of music and power of RnR. Tanx Steve for existing and for your wonderfull legacy. God bless you , your honesty and your music.
I still think that the E.M.I riff is one of the greatest riffs in rock'n'roll EVER, including Hendrix, Page and Claptout. Also E.M.I may be the first white rap number in rock history
steves gear was a '74 white les paul with single coil pickups and a 70's profile neck.
his amp was an early 70's silverface fender twin reverb (with matser volume control), with gauss guitar speakers, sadly, i don't know the specific year, and what types of tubes he used, but that's the gist of it, other than that, he used no effects pedals.
i'm pretty sure he used an MXR distortion. level/tone half way and distortion 3/4 are pretty good settings. and his les paul had humbuckers,and he used the bridge pickup.
he used a 65 fender twin with mixed jensen speakers and no pedal...ive asked about that recently on myspace..he does have a real myspace even says it on his indie 103.1 show.his myspace is called jonesys jukebox
He, Paul and Wally Nightingale snuck into Hammersmith apollo while the roadies for a David Bowie gig wern't around, cut the mics and stole all the gear. That isn't the guitar he stole though, that's owned by someone else now...
no its not i dont know where this rumor spreaded..he stole all the mics and amps and few other things...the first white les paul custom was given to him by malcom mclaren to learn guitar on as malcom got it from sylvain sylvain for a plane ticket witch he never got haha watch the new york dolls on don kirshners show on here and youll see sylvain using it all concert....and steve is still trying to buy it back from a woman in cali who malcom sold it to after the pistols split
This DVD is v good. I have to say that I personally prefer the Marshall sound after listening to Anarchy Live 77 the Twin sounds 'orrible. And lets face it 'e could use any amp he wants now and still chooses the Marshall. God bless 'is soul!!!
i wish he'd still use fender twins instead of marshalls..marshall makes it sound close to studio recordings..i love the raw punchy sound of the 76 pistols
yeah i also comment on a about 30 pistol vids sayin wished he still used the twin he stole from bowie..marshalls make his sound to close to studio,i like the original raw punchy sound the twin gives
Hes playing a Burny Les Paul made by Fernandes...they gave him free guitars from the late 90's to early 2000's so he stopped using gibson until about 2 yrs ago
He stopped using Gibson when the Pistols got back together in 1996 because they wouldn't give him any to use on tour. So he swapped to Burny's, and used them until 2003. When the Pistols reunited in 2007/08, however, he went back to using Gibson as they now (and about time!) appreciate his place in Les Paul folklore and supply him with his instruments.
actualy hes only used burnys in early 2000 to about 2 yrs ago...all in the 96 he used a gold gibson lp custom,sparkly blue gibson standard and a black lp custom and one cream gibson lp custom...its on the cook n jones site
He's also a fantastic kisser!!! Oh my! You might not thinks so by looking at him but, seriously...yummm! Of course that was 24 years ago but, things like that never change!
Yeah maybe if u read it,i said maybe Billie NOT STEVE copied it from Steve and the Pistols. And your comment is semi true,there are some good bands today but the majority of music is shit,most of the good music is from back in the day.
Green Day in the 90s played simple stuff and none wore eyeliner. They stuck to what people would normally wear. In 2004 they simply changed. The reason you hear them so much nowadays is because they're more recent music is more accepted into normal mainstream viewers.
But if you take time to listen to their 1994 record 'Dookie', you'll see how much change they've undergone. Who knows, you might not even know the songs.
And he's Playing a 'Burny' Les Paul Custom great sound and its a just a jap copy check out the Greco/Burny/Orvilles beat Gibson hands down and going up in value fast.
Who's the lucky bastard doing the interview? When this album came out I traded about 20 albums out of my record collection to a used record store in Berkeley to but this album. My friends thought I was f*ckin' nuts!
Problems.The opening riff, he must off made his own riff out of Iggy Pops tv eye.The same chord played with the open A but played another way,great tune aswell!!
The great myth of the Sex Pistols is that they were untalented and random.
Steve Jones created some great riffs.

Yeah maybe if u read it,i said maybe Billie NOT STEVE copied it from Steve and the Pistols. And your comment is semi true,there are some good bands today but the majority of music is shit,most of the good music is from back in the day.

Green Day in the 90s played simple stuff and none wore eyeliner. They stuck to what people would normally wear. In 2004 they simply changed. The reason you hear them so much nowadays is because they're more recent music is more accepted into normal mainstream viewers.
But if you take time to listen to their 1994 record 'Dookie', you'll see how much change they've undergone. Who knows, you might not even know the songs.

I love Steve Jones. I think he would be somebody really worth knowing. He's really underestimated compared to Rotten and Vicious.
He has been known to flog these guitars occaisionally too.

The Sex Pistols sound,never bettered by anyone.Nirvana tried to out do the Pistols,close but it wasn`t as good as nmtb.

Who's the lucky bastard doing the interview? When this album came out I traded about 20 albums out of my record collection to a used record store in Berkeley to but this album. My friends thought I was f*ckin' nuts!

Problems.The opening riff, he must off made his own riff out of Iggy Pops tv eye.The same chord played with the open A but played another way,great tune aswell!!
