About this product

Product Information

The true untold story of the Sex Pistols from the man who formed the band and kick-started the cultural revolution that was Punk. SOON TO BE A LIMITED SERIES DIRECTED BY DANNY BOYLE _____________________ Foreword by Chrissie Hynde Without the Sex Pistols there would be no punk rock, and without Steve Jones there would be no Sex Pistols. It was Steve who formed Kutie Jones and his Sex Pistols, the band that eventually went on to become the Sex Pistols, with his schoolmate Paul Cook and who was its original leader. As the world celebrates the 40th anniversary of Punk - the influence and cultural significance of which is felt in music, fashion and the visual arts to this day - Steve tells his story for the very first time. Rising from the streets of Hammersmith, Steve Jones was once a lonely, neglected boy living off his wits and petty thievery. Given purpose by the glam art rock of David Bowie and Roxy Music, he became one of the first generation of punks taken under the wings of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood. For the very first time Steve describes the neglect and abuse he suffered at the hands of his stepfather, and how his interest in music and fashion saved him from a potential life of crime. From the Kings Road of the early seventies, through the years of the Sex Pistols, Punk Rock and the recording of Never Mind the Bollocks (ranked number 41 in Rolling Stone magazine's Best Albums of All Time), to his self-imposed exile in New York and Los Angeles where he battled with alcohol, heroin and sex addiction - caught in a cycle of rehab and relapse - Lonely Boy, written with music journalist and author Ben Thompson, is the story of an unlikely guitar hero who, with the Sex Pistols, changed history.

    Bought for my hubby

    I have just read this on Kindle. My husband is a Sex Pistols fan and has read and enjoyed Anger is an Energy by John Lydon. I read Lonely Boy and I was both blown away and moved by his frank and honest account of his life, particularly his tough early years. I just had too order the paperback version of the book because my husband isn't a Kindle fan, he is a real physical book person and it's a gift for him.

    Refreshing, honest an in your face

    No holds barred account of the formation and rise of the Sex Pistols along with the rest of Steve Jones life. If you've read John Lydons version this seems to be a more honest upfront account with no pretentions to granduer that JR has.
