Stephen Philip "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".
Early life
Jones was born in Hammersmith, London, where he grew up with his young mother, who worked as a hairdresser, and his grandparents. He then moved to Benbow Road in Shepherd's Bush. He was an only child and his father, Don Jarvis, an amateur boxer, left when he was two years old.
With fourteen criminal convictions he was the subject of a council care-order and spent a year in a remand centre, which he says was more enjoyable than being at home. He's also said the Sex Pistols saved him from a life of crime.
His early influences were Iggy & The Stooges, New York Dolls, Small Faces, and glam rock icons like Roxy Music and David Bowie.
Career
1970s
Jones co-founded The Strand (named after a Roxy Music song) with Paul Cook and Wally Nightingale in the early 1970s. The Strand were a precursor to the Sex Pistols, and it's where Jones first learned to play guitar. After dropping Wally Nightingale in the mid 1970s, the band was known as The Swankers. In 1975, Jones went on to co-found Sex Pistols with Paul Cook, Glen Matlock, and later, John Lydon.
