Michael Geoffrey Jones (born June 26, 1955) was the guitarist of the legendary British band, The Clash. He later fronted Big Audio Dynamite.
Jones was born in Brixton, South London, England to a Welsh father and a Russian mother. He spent much of his early life living with his grandmother, Stella in Wales while his parents struggled to make ends meet, unable to stay afloat financially due to the closure of mines and factories in Wales. Jones went to art school, because "[he] thought that's how you get into bands and stuff".
When he was 21, he (and Paul Simonon) saw Joe Strummer singing in a pub and asked Strummer to join their new band. Jones said in an interview in 1979 for the NME: "With Joe I could see he was a great performer saddled with a duff band." Paul Simonon later thought of the name of the band (The Clash) by looking at the Evening Standard.
Jones played lead guitar, sang, and co-wrote songs from the band's inception until he was fired by Strummer and Paul Simonon in 1983. Jones' lack of punctuality played a major role in his dismissal from the band; he would frequently abandon rehearsals and gigs.
For his time with The Clash, Jones, along with the rest of the band, was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.
Mick Jones during his time with Big Audio Dynamite (NYC, 1987)After his expulsion from The Clash, Jones was briefly a founding member of General Public. However, by the time that band's debut album appeared, Jones was no longer an official band member, although he did play guitar on many of the album's tracks.
Leaving General Public behind, in 1984 Jones formed Big Audio Dynamite (often shortened to B.A.D.) with film director Don Letts, who had directed various Clash videos and later the Clash documentary Westway to the World. The band's debut album This Is Big Audio Dynamite was released the following year, with the song "E=MC2" getting heavy rotation in dance clubs, and both singles "Medicine Show" and "E=MC2" charting in the UK.
Mick Jones during his time with Big Audio Dynamite (Santa Cruz, 1987)For Big Audio Dynamite's second record, No. 10 Upping St., Mick Jones reunited with Joe Strummer. Together, the two wrote several songs on the album, including "Beyond the Pale", "V. Thirteen", and "Sightsee M.C."; Strummer also co-produced the album. Their reunion did not last long, and following that collaboration, the two did not work together again for some time.
Big Audio Dynamite's third album, Tighten Up, Vol.88, featured cover art painted by ex-Clash bassist Paul Simonon. Shortly following its release, Jones developed pneumonia and spent several months in hospital.[2] After his recovery, Jones released one more album with Big Audio Dynamite, Megatop Phoenix, before reshuffling the lineup and renaming the band Big Audio Dynamite II and releasing The Globe album.
The band's lineup was reshuffled again in 1994, and they released the album Higher Power under the name Big Audio. In 1995, a greatest hits album, Planet B.A.D. was released as well as a studio album called F-Punk under the original Big Audio Dynamite name. A further album, Entering a New Ride was recorded in 1997, but was only released on the internet due to disagreement with Radioactive Records, their then record label. One more "best of" collection, called Super Hits, was released in 1999.
In 2005, Jones teamed up with former London SS, Generation X and Sigue Sigue Sputnik member Tony James to form a new band named Carbon/Silicon. The band has toured the United Kingdom and has performed a number of anti-fascist benefit concerts; they have also recorded three as yet unreleased albums: Sample This, Peace, Dope Factory Boogie and The Grand Delusion. The band encourage their fans to share their music on P2P networks, and allow the audio and video taping of their shows. Their first song, MPFree is an anthem for P2P file sharing.
Jones has also become an occasional producer. He was at the controls for London-based band The Libertines debut album Up The Bracket. The CD was critically very well-received, both in the UK and USA. Jones stayed on to produce the band's second and final album, eponymously titled The Libertines. He also produced Down In Albion, the debut album of former Libertines lead singer and guitarist Pete Doherty's new group Babyshambles. Mick Jones is credited with contributing guitar and vocals to "Mal Bicho," the lead track of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs' album Rey Azucar.
Jones has a cameo appearance in the 2003 film Code 46, singing the Clash song "Should I Stay or Should I Go" in a karaoke club.
Mick Jones could be seen in the video for the Babyshambles and friends cover of The Clash song Janie Jones from 77, which was recorded for the Strummerville foundation. [3] In 2006, Jones was seen in the music video for the Johnny Cash song, "God's Gonna Cut You Down."
He recently provided the score for Nick Mead's film Dice Life - the Random Mind of Luke Rhinehart, a contemporary dance film created by Nick Mead and Wayne McGregor, featuring Luke Rhinehart, author of The Dice Man
