STEVE JONES
Steve Jones (born 3 September 1955) is an English rock guitarist, singer and actor, best known as guitarist with Sex Pistols and Iggy Pop. He was ranked in Rolling Stone’s list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time”. (More from Wikipedia)
The Runaways never found the same success at home as they had overseas, so Joan Jett went to England to begin her solo career. In 1979, Jett recorded three songs with Paul Cook and Steve Jones (both formerly in Sex Pistols), including an early version of “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll” (“I Love Rock ’n’ Roll” had originally been recorded by a British band called Arrows).

Paul Fischer reports about their debut album: “Ravales’ debut album Barrio Chino has just been released [2012] and is a fierce collection of 17 punked-up rocky gems. At its best it really does sound like Steve Jones and Paul Cook [of Sex Pistols] playing a Ramones set, albeit mostly sung in Spanish!”

The Avengers album that I have, The American in Me features four tracks that were produced by Steve Jones of Sex Pistols in late 1978. The remainder of the CD is a June 1979 concert at the Old Waldorf in San Francisco, within days of the final break-up of the band. Greg Ingraham had left the band when this music was made; he was replaced by Brad Kent (also known as Brad C--t, and formerly in Victorian Pork, D.O.A. and other important Canadian punk rock bands).
