People remember Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten, but Steve Jones was clearly the Pistol with musical talent. Never Mind the Bollocks has some great guitar riffs
' I really didn't know how to play!". LoL says the guy who wrote and played guitar and bass on one of the most influential albums ever written ...I bought nmtb when I was 12.. I'm 55 now..I still feel the same way as when I first opened the album and put in on my turntable......llol😂 cheers from Vancouver BC Canada 👍
Unassuming and honest about his guitar skills but Steve you are up there with the best, it's all about ideas and originality and consider you were so young back in 76/77 when you came up with these riffs and solos but they still sound so GOOD today. That's always the acid test!.
Much of their music was actually quite jolly and in a major key. The juxtaposition of the guitar parts and Lydon's sneering vocals is what made them so unique.

Steve Jones is a legend
Steve can make a three chord riff amazing. It's in his soul, pure rock n roll.
Perhaps not a "musician's musician", but who gives a damn? He knows how to make that guitar scream and shout. That's what counts.
The sound of Steve's guitar and Rotten's voice totally complimented each other. The Pistols stood for something that you couldn't ignore in 1977.

Finally a camera operator that understands what guitar players want to see.
“He can play guitar like ringin’ a bell”.
steve jones is the most criminally underrated guitarist in the history of rock and roll
I love Steve's attitude in this video. So down to earth, not taking himself too seriously and yet you can see he's rightfully proud of his work.
I admire steve jones as a musician and I like that he can't read music but made some of the greatest riffs
I know everybody gets called a legend these days but Steve Jones is truly deserving of that title. Funny, talented, raw and real. 🎸🎶💥🔥🌠🔊
I just love this guy. He could do more with 4 chords than most guys could do with 1000. Also, one of the most refreshingly honest voice s in music.
"Pretty good for someone who couldn't play, back then." Not bad, at all, I say. I always loved his attitude whilst playing. One of the coolest ;-)
I met Steve Jones in NYC in the early 80's. Great Guy, great guitarist! Wonderful human being!
Steve Jones can make even one note sound punky. Love it.

This must be the definitive electric guitar tone!!
Behold the awesome power of Steve Jones. Steve’s stuff is the roughest, toughest most brutal most iconic punk ever created. I never get tired of it.
