Thank you for posting!

[@steves1460]

Wow, that was an in-depth interview. Answered all my questions about Steve’s dogs.

[@KILLER_B-y6t]

I fortunately got a chance to see The Sex Pistols. I think sometime in the 90s in NYC. The last great decade of of our lives.

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

1996 Roseland Ballroom. I was there too.

[@regplasma7906]

Steve's Chippendale's phase.

[@gissellest333]

This is great, I love finding stuff like this.

[@calebrobinette8433]

Thanks for the neat clip!

[@charlesmaximus9161]

I love Steve. He’s such a grounded fella with a good heart. Always regretted that I never got the chance to meet him or any of the other surviving members, or to see them live. Greatest rock n’ roll band in the world, if you ask me.

[@bobjones5661]

Truth

[@Guido.Fawkes.1]

He’s a total gentleman.

[@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse]

“never got the chance to meet him”! He’s not dead ffs!

[@bt3743]

in 20 years he went from working class london teenager to a hair metal artist

[@PpoCircus]

He never was a “hair metal” artist, “Fire & Gasoline” was a pure and raw Rock n Roll album.

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

@@PpoCircus it was hair metal. sounded like twisted sister.

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

and when grunge made hair metal unfashionable he became a punk again

[@PpoCircus]

@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 Yeah, as hair metal sound as GnR, The Cult, or The Almighty in the same period.

[@koont666]

He was deluded by heroin 🍀🇬🇧👍

[@GenghisCohen257]

OMG I'd never seen anything but the 1976-1978 Steve Jones! I didn't know he went through a phase where he looked like he was in POISON or WINGER.

[@gyobfan22]

It is very jarring lol.

[@vjenkins6815]

He sure did. Steve is / was an authentic Chelsea Boy Londoner. The real deal. But after the Pistols - in the early 80s - he dated Joan Jett, was in Checkered Past, with the actor Michael Des Barres, and got into the LA Glam Metal scene. This is him from his LA Glam days. This was around the same time that The Cult was making it big in America as a hard rock / hair metal band.

[@daggy174]

Thanks for the clip! I am a big fan of Steve's solo work and there's not a lot of archived video from that era.

[@desertrose1226]

He never looked better than this. At his peak here. Love the long hair.

[@fasthracing]

Geared up Steve

[@FLAVCO]

Oh just play the bloody vid will you ?

[@morttiholm8739]

Great video!

[@bjornmaxson7243]

Hello

[@TweedSuit]

His Robert Plant phase.

[@terrycraig6386]

He does resemble R.P. , though.weird.😊

[@DHTC888]

I really liked that album. "Through the Night" is awesome.

[@AustinKay]

I literally couldn't recognize him haha

[@hgreen8666]

He looked bloody amazing here far better than he was during his Pistols days.

[@desertrose1226]

Yeah but he was just a little punk kid then. Men look great with long hair, look at Michael Hutchence, Robert Plant, Jim Morrison…

[@annamaj2943]

Grandissimo Steve

[@bjornmaxson7243]

Hello anna

[@pastaboy9371]

Am i the only one that thinks he looks like Ted Nugent?

[@CannibalWHORE22]

He looks 40 or 50. But weirdly was in his early 30s around this time.

[@GhastlyCretin]

This was his heroin period. Made him look older.

[@desertrose1226]

He definitely doesn’t look 50. 50 years olds look bloody ancient and like tree bark.

[@jeffkaufman9875]

Back when you just KNOW Jonesy was still killing it with the ladies!..

[@angelsmagick]

I remember when they were the rage, during the punk era I had to help friends with teasing their hair with hard soap or thick sugar water mix, followed by spraying their hair with metallic car paint so it stayed in shape. And we wondered why we suffered from rash and allergies....Young and stupid VS Being an old fool, LoL. Memories...

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

I am not surprised to read this one bit. Hard to believe this stuff was so long ago.

[@angelsmagick]

@@ClevelandLiveMusic did you too have punk friends?

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

@@angelsmagick yes...in CLE the westside is the punkier side...the eastside the hippie side (in general) I straddled both scenes....more hippie

Never Trust a Hippie 🇬🇧🧷

[@hossesarse]

"None of your free, hippy love $#it here!" "...Sex is ugly, boring, hippy-$#it..." God I love that movie. (Except for Nancy's voice, which sounds like poorly-played bagpipes. Actually even expertly-played bagpipes sound nightmarish; wtf was I thinking?)

Somebody won’t pass a drug test on that night,Steve is an excellent guitarist though 😀🍺🇬🇧

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

I recorded Dwight all the time he was on TV. As the tapes are digitized treasures emerge

[@BadRonald1]

What it was back in 87 most rock musicians had long hair, big hair whatever you wanna call it and that’s how we all looked. And Steve because he moved to LA and he got caught up in the scene. Nice to see him all the time on Sunset Boulevard at the Rainbow. it’s kind of funny because nobody really knew who he was. Nobody knew about the The Professionals but 15 years later people started catching on him. It’s funny to hear people say like I’ve been into your music for so long when they were actually never really into it. Or punk rock. See they are just to be cool. I called those people posers.

[@mummyd1990]

Ste showed her a naked photo of himself to her.

[@user-ft4jp1yq5f]

[@mandsersmatedu3163]

5:07/6:08 on the video: Steve Jones seems to like the idea that they were portrayed as drug-takers? He said it's "the best thing about the movie." To be portrayed as drug-takers. He doesn't seem to mind also that it was a "negative" portrayal. Right? He said, actually, that it's the only thing he liked about the movie, Sid and Nancy. Wow. Anybody missed that part of the interview?

[@felipecavalera8729]

I think he means that it was real, like they didn’t sugar coat it for the movie.

[@daggy174]

Steve was clean at this point and was very up-front about what drugs had done to himself and others close to him. I think what he was saying was that the drug-related content of the film was not glamorized or romanticized, as many movies of the era tended to do. The movie, while (in my opinion) not great, did not shy away from the ugliness and misery of addiction.

[@andrewgarrett3555]

I think you missed the part where he said, "Where drugs take ya," meaning how they destroyed lives, you oaf.
