The Term Guitar Hero
'Jones sprayed the words "Sex Pistols" and "Guitar Hero" on the grill cloth of the Fender Twin, and it is rumored he coined the phrase Guitar Hero'

Can anyone cite this? Joe Strummer uses the term in a lyric on the Clash's Album "The Clash" released in 1976, only a year after the sex pistols proper formed. That may be the first usage, unless someone has a source that knows better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.191.74.195 (talk) 00:28, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Reference made to Jones' current gig as a DJ on LA radio station KDLD (Indie 103.1)

Appearance in Guitar Hero 3
Shouldn't we mention this? If only because GH3 is God's greatest gift to mankind to date. Also, because it's interesting in general :)

Greedy Bastards
No mention of the "Punk Supergroup" featuring Jones and Cook, plus Phil Lynott, Bob Geldof (?), Johnny Fingers and their Christmas single "We Wish You A Merry Jingle"? There might have been a Mark II version with Lemmy and ("Philphy Animal" Taylor?) involved. All the above is per my imperfect memory, so someone needs to find sources - I think the NME at the time reviewed the band/single. LessHeard vanU (talk) 23:55, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Billy Idol an associated act?
Pretty sure it was Steve Jones' lead on Dancing With Myself."166.137.99.250 (talk) 21:50, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Associated acts to current member and past member of
The associated acts section of Jonesy's infobox is a mess if you try to read it in the editing area, it is literally every single artist he has played with, which is exactly not what its purpose is. I propose this is split between current member and past member of sections as has been done with most other artists. 80s Sam (talk) 18:55, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Associated acts is a deprecated parameter and does not appear in the infobox even if it's in the wiki markup. Sundayclose (talk) 19:23, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * exactly, that's why I am propose it be repurposed. 80s Sam (talk) 19:50, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Singer.
Could Jones be considered a singer, he was lead vocalist for The Professionals and Neurotic Outsiders and was also mainly singer in the pre-Sex Pistols days, is this enough to be a considered a singer as well. 80s Sam (talk) 19:01, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
