Steve Jones – Fire And Gasoline (1989)
Fire and Gasoline (1989) was Steve Jones' second (and his best) solo album. Several members from other 80's hair bands (Motley Crue, Guns N' Roses & The Cult) help him out throughout the album.
The best tracks are "Freedom Fighter", "Fire and Gasoline", "We're Not Saints" and a Sex Pistols cover song "I Did U No Wrong" (co-vocals by W. Axl Rose). In general the songs are not very brilliant, a bunch of pop throwaways. But altogether they're a hard hitting album filled with Steve Jones' trademark guitar crunch and solos. A far cry from his first album.
After he quit living the punk lifestyle, Steve grew out his hair and got off the white horse and became a hair band rocker. Fire and Gasoline is pretty good disc, you'll be thumping along with these songs after a couple of listens. Highly recommended.

His debut solo album, Mercy, was a regarded as a tentative step towards redemption but it was Fire And Gasoline, the follow up album, that really saw his creative juices flow freely. It was a tougher and far more direct display of fire-power, bringing Jones' guitar prowess once more to the fore. Produced by British studio wizard Mark Dearnley ...
