When he was 21, he and Paul Simonon were introduced to Joe Strummer by Bernie Rhodes in a squat in Shepherd’s Bush.

Jones played lead guitar, sang, and co-wrote songs from the band’s inception until he was fired by Strummer and Simonon in 1983. One of the songs he wrote, “Train in Vain,” was allegedly about Jones’ relationship with Viv Albertine, guitarist of The Slits.

He then switched to a Gibson Les Paul Standard and later to Gibson Les Paul Customs.
