Story Of My Life” retells Jones’ own addict’s lament while Taylor’s “ Better Way” is “a testament to our sober lives and it was not the song I would have envisioned writing with the co-author of ‘Pretty Vacant’. A seguito di un incontro in occasione di una sessione sonora al Viper Room, registrarono nel 1996 l' album omonimo per la Maverick Records, seguito da un tour in Europa e Nord America.Long out of print, Neurotic Outsiders is being re-released as an expanded edition, containing all the tracks from the album plus their rare Japanese only EP. A supergroup formed in Los Angeles the mid-'90s consisting of B-list guys from A-list bands, Neurotic Outsiders picked up an unexpected following when a one-time charity concert at the Viper Room led to a house-band engagement. The album’s lyrics foreshadowed many of the themes addressed in Steve Jones’ acclaimed 2018 autobiography, Lonely Boy, now adapted by director Danny Boyle ( Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire) as the 2022 Hulu miniseries “Pistol.

What started out as a random mishmash of his musician friends, John Taylor ( Duran Duran) and Duff McKagen and Matt Sorum ( Guns N’ Roses), and a Monday night residency at the infamous club turned into Neurotic Outsiders.

John Lydon was quick out of the block with PiL and his more experimental inclinations, Sid Vicious was quickly no more, Paul Cook was rarely seen, and Vicious predecessor Glen Matlock and Steve Jones, the man that actually was one of the two persons to initiate the band (with Paul Cook) needed a bit of time to make their own impact. The first line-up featured Billy Idol and Steve Stevens (together with McKagan and Sorum) but they were soon replaced by Jones and Taylor.

The band started out with covers and hosted a number of surprise guests like Simon LeBon, Billy idol, Izzy Stradlin, Chrissie Hynde, Ian Astbury, Sporty Spice Mel C, Iggy Pop, Brian Setzer, and Slash.It somehow turned out that possibly a chance a pickup band Jones formed for a benefit concert for a cancer-stricken friend in LA sometime in mid-nineties would turn out to be one of his better musical statements in the post-Pistols era. The album’s first single Jerk is a standard self-deprecating Jones’ track where he proclaims “I’m a jerk” as a chorus. Neurotic Outsiders, as they named themselves, along with jones on guitar and vocals included Duran Duran’s John Taylor on bass and vocals, Guns N’ Roses Duff McKagan also on guitar and vocals and Matt Sorum on drums. John Taylor recorded six solo albums, wrote his autobiography, and has been touring and recording with Duran Duran since the original band reunited in 2000.
