Neurotic Outsiders

Product Information

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.

Jones wrote most of the songs, while Taylor wrote the remaining songs and the other members collaborated on some tracks. With Neurotic Outsiders, things felt completely loose,” laughs Taylor of the ragtag nature of the band. Just as the band was starting to gather steam, each of the band members were - one by one - pulled away when their previously inactive bands started reforming again, leaving prospects of a continuation of Neurotic Outsiders swept away in the Viper Room's evening detritus. Neurotic Outsiders never lived too long after this album, but the album itself still stands as one of post-punk milestones.Other tracks include “ Angelina” (a tribute to the inescapable 80’s / 90’s pink-haired billboard queen of LA), “ Good News” (a bitter send-off with the lyric “the good news is you’re dying, the bad news is I’m alive”). Neurotic Outsiders was a British-American rock supergroup founded in 1995, consisting of Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, Matt Sorum and Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses, and John Taylor of Duran Duran.

What started out as a random mishmash of his musician friends - JOHN TAYLOR ( Duran Duran) and DUFF McKAGAN and MATT SORUM ( Guns N' Roses) - and a Monday night residency at the infamous club turned into NEUROTIC OUTSIDERS. As enthusiasm for the band increased, they were signed to Maverick Records, releasing one album, the self-titled Neurotic Outsiders, in 1996. Just as the band was starting to gather steam, each of the band members were – one by one – pulled away when their previously inactive bands started reforming again, leaving prospects of a continuation of Neurotic Outsiders swept away in the Viper Room’s evening detritus.More Hamburger icon An icon used to represent a menu that can be toggled by interacting with this icon.

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’.

Successivamente si riunirono nell'aprile del 1999, per tre show al Viper Room, e il 7 dicembre 2006 per un'altra performance dal vivo.Matt Sorum’s long-delayed autobiography, Double Talkin’ Jive has been released by Rare Bird Books this week, covering his career from playing in Tori Amos’ Y Kant Tori Read project, through the Cult, GnR, Velvet Revolver and beyond. The hiatus is likely permanent, as Matt Sorum rejoined the Cult in 1999 and John Taylor rejoined Duran Duran in 2001.

As more and more of Jones’ post Sex Pistols originals started making their way into their sets, the band began embracing the new material. 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. The reason why the whole thing worked might lie in one of Jones’ comments on the band: “We all were in these high-profile, high maintenance bands with very little actual playing. Duff McKagan made numerous albums, both solo and in other bands, and has written two books, before reuniting with the reformed Guns N Roses who’ve been touring since 2016.All four members of Neurotic Outsiders are in the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame, as is the album’s producer Jerry Harrison.

Originally starting out as the resident Monday night band at LA's notorious Viper Room that hosted a wide array of surprise guests including Simon LeBon, Billy idol, Izzy Stradlin, Chrissie Hynde, Ian Astbury, Sporty Spice Mel C, Iggy Pop, Brian Setzer, and Slash, the band’s own internal chemistry between its four members was so apparent that soon Neurotic Outsiders was born. Clear, concise, and straight to the point with no bluffing, but a lot of rock excess, as rock excess should sound like.
