Sounds like Robbie Williams all over again.

Steve Jones is one of the greatest guitarists ever! Fire Jesse, forget about Alain & ask Steve to join! Just think of the possibilities! Wow.

The Pistols were a legendary band and Steve Jones is a Legend and a Great guy!

As a life long pistols and moz fan its good to see the two worlds collide.
jonesy knows a thing or two about dissafected outsiders with irish blood and an english heart, he's stood along side the best.
the prospect of him working with moz is indeed mouthwatering.
to the fuckwit wittering on about sexuality- your observations are as interesting as a justin timberlake album- away and die.

Wow, it'd be great to see Jones and Morrissey work together.
I like the rockabilly lads but I'd love to see our boy work with someone from a more hardcore scene.
I'm surprised he's not already worked with one of his most influential musicians like Patti Smith or David Johanson from The NY Dolls.

I'd pay a lot of money to hear that!

this is an exceptional radio show--the man plays whatever whim dictates and he invites guest performers of all varieties (from moby all the way to peter frampton). i'd listen just to hear him spout off on any banal topic--he's too funny for life.

indie 101.3 is a sweet alternative to la's greasy palmed kroq.

I always wondered if the Sex Pistols are Morrissey fans. Now we know at least one is.

I suspect Johnny Rotten admires out man as well, though whenever he's asked what pop stars he follows he always says something like, "I like some, but I'm here to toot my own horn not anyone else's!"

They both hate the Queen, they both have Irish blood and English hearts, they both love Oscar Wilde....

Hmm...it seems that perhaps Moz was using 'shyness' as an excuse- he hasn't exactly got round to working with him yet has he?

Then again, he's a busy man, maybe it's true. In which case, I look forward to this collaboration!

I don't know about his songwriting as of late, but we do know that he's a guitarist and tunesmith with some [i]cojones[/i], which he has over Alain and recently, Boz as well.

i'm delighted to hear jones likes moz. i have friends who worship the pistols and who think moz is just the worst thing ever in history - they will be appalled!! ha ha ha ha ha...

sadly they're a bit limited in their worldview -whereas i have always seen a pistols-smiths/moz-rotten link. moz is the direct descendent of rotten, using pop music to subvert the culture, saying the unsayable in interviews etc

and among the options currently discussed on this site for moz's next collaboration i think jones is by far the most intriguing. i saw the pistols in 2002 and jones' playing sounded massive. of course he is also physically massive. but let's face it boz is a big fat pig these days, and alain (should he ever return) is pretty large, and even moz will not be his former svelte self again.

so bring on the fat pistol and get him in ver studio with morrissey PLEASE. if only just for one song. i don't mind if it's a cover - it could be amazing

Steve Jones is a music legend. It's great to know he has such good taste in music outside of the fantastic music he has made himself. Go Jonesy!

When do people finally realize, that the SEX PISTOLS were one of the most overrated bands of all time. They were nothing but a bunch of tramps, that happened to be around at a certain time in musical history, which makes them appear to have been bold, daring and influential. None of them could play their instrument to save their lives. The only credit they get in my book, is to have played Manchester back then, which made parts of the audience form bands themselves and instead of Johnny Rotten & Co. having indeed a profound influence on the music world.

"Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?! Goodnight."

I would die to hear a Moz / Jones penned number! Maybe it wouldn't last for a whole album, but I'm sure they could do 2 or 3 good songs together!! Come on guys, you know you both like each others' music - now is the time!!!

Johnny Rotten wrote one of the strongest sets of lyrics of all time when he delivered 'Nevermind the bollocks'. Listen to that album and then remind yourself that Johnny was just nineteen years old and the achievement suddenly becomes almost unrivalled.

I still think that 'God save the Queen' is the freshest, most relevant single of all time. but the subject of 'Holidays in the sun' just knocks you out.

As frontmen go, Johnny is in the top bracket along with Morrissey. When anybody tries to imitate either of these two, they fail miserably.

As the years pass by and the bands getting record deals become more and more mundane The Smiths, Morrissey and Sex Pistols become increasingly revered.

Steve Jones could just be the guitarist that Morrissey requires to put the hugely pleasing and successful 'Quarry' to bed and to "turn the page" again.

However, I remember and continually witness how the excellent 'Southpaw' is almost disowned by a massive percentage of Morrissey fans, so the question is, 'Will Moz take the risk'? I would say not.

The solution could be a very limited edition ep.

oh, yes, someone likes morrissey! a famous person! oh, yay!
