Classic Rock Mag


Flash Metal Suicide: Steve Jones Link

"The rest of the story is mostly thumbs-up. In the 90s he formed the excellent Neurotic Outsiders with Duff Mckagan and Matt Sorum and cashed in on his legacy with a few Pistols reunions. He also became a radio DJ, and he's great at it. No complaints, really. So can we get this statue built now? Fat or skinny version, he looked cool either way."

Guest Today Feb 3rd Pat O'Brien

Pat O'Brien @POBPATOBRIEN
I'm honored to be a guest on @JonesysJukebox on KLOS at noon today. The great Sex Pistols genius is back!


Billboard Q&A


Q & A w Steve in Billboard

"How did Jonsey's Jukebox get back on the air?

Dawn Girocco, who's the general manager at KLOS, used to be the gm when I was doing Indie [103], and then Indie collapsed. Then she got another gig over at KROQ and got me over there, but they gave me a Sunday night and it didn't really do anything. She's the one who makes it happen. She believes in me and understands what Jonesy's Jukebox is and how important it is to any kind of non-robotic radio. "
