3.0 out of 5 stars Fun for the whole Infamy, June 6, 2001

This review is from: Neurotic Outsiders (Audio CD)

It's no classic, by any stretch of the imagination, but this album is a hell of a lot of fun, simply because it's four guys who know how to rock, and aren't afraid to.

Credentials are vast--punk guitar hero Steve Jones (ex-Sex Pistols), Duran Duran guitarist John Taylor, ex Cult, G'n'R drummer Matt Sorum, and ex-bassist for G'n'R Duff McKagen all combined in L.A. and started jamming on stage, playing mostly old punk covers at the Viper Club, but some new material came out of it, and surfaced on this album. It tanked for a lot of reasons, the least of which was that the band wasn't really supposed to be serious.

It ABSOLUTELY reeks of Los Angeles, and it's a bit repetitive at times, but it's way better, and hits a lot harder than any of the newer top 40 rock you may be bored of hearing. "Angelina" and their cover of the Clash's "Janie Jones" particularly stand out; most of the tunes are written by Jones, and they're fairly solid.

The best thing about the album is the conviction; they're probably having a good time, because they SOUND like they're having a blast. Buy it and you just may, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars FanFRIGGINtastic!... (Steve Jones still rocks!...), December 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Neurotic Outsiders (Audio CD)

This is an excellent album. It sounds like a perfect mix of the Sex Pistols and Guns and Roses. Which makes sense because Neurotic Outsiders is made up of ex-members of both bands. Although I like the Sex Pistols a lot more than G'n'R and although this album reekes of G'n'R it doesn't take anything away from the greatness of this album. (G'n'R had some [good]... songs anyway). Most of the songs are about girls, sex etc. There is also a different sounding cover of Janie Jones (originally preformed by the Clash). Punk rock fans and good old rock 'n' roll fans...this one's for you!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great band, September 8, 2005

I love this record. I was thrilled when i first heard about these guys forming a band. Just a fun alternative rock record. They all went about this project with the right attitude, for fun. John Taylor's playing really is on the mark , you never really got to hear him in Duran Duran, but he shines on bass and as a vocalist. Another surpirse, is Duff McKagan he switched from bass to guitar with NO and his riffs are great. Upon just listening to the cd i thought most of the solos was Steve Jones playing but i was fortunate enough to see these guys live and Duff did the majority of the solos. I only have to complaints about this album , one is that they did not include the great cover of the classic Duran song 'Planet Earth' and the other is Steve Jones' vocals, John and Duff should have sang on all of the tracks but i am not complaining. I would love to see these guys get together in there down time for another go around.
