FameRank: 6

"Pete Jones" is an English musician, who played bass in different bands since the punk rock era of the 1970s, but is known for being a member of Public Image Ltd., during 1982–1983. He played bass guitar on PiL's highest charting UK single "This Is Not a Love Song (song)/This Is Not a Love Song" as well as recording Commercial Zone whilst with the band in New York.

He was born near Watford, England, to an ex-merchant seaman who also sang and played ukulele. After learning guitar and listening to discs from his father's collection, he formed his band in school, Cosmosis, where he began to play bass.

During punk days, in the late 1970s, he played in The Hots with Martin Atkins, formerly Blonde (not Blondie (band)/Blondie). After The Hots split up, he was asked to join Cowboys International, touring with them across Europe. After that he formed part of Brian Brain with Atkins, then joined Public Image Ltd. while he was in the band. He left PiL in 1983, and has since produced his own material under his own name and released several CDs. Jones had also done various cross-collaborating with Mikee Plastik over the years. In 2008, he teamed up with Fred Suard to form the Creepy Dolls, and released an EP entitled Grande Finale, and released various tracks with Clem Chambers under the name Pete & Charlie.

OLA is very good. They are coming right along.

It was absolutely crazy. They kept asking us all these questions, (and) I was trying to figure out who I have to convince here to make my movie. There's a fine line between staying true to what you wrote and being flexible.

It's a big shock, because I don't expect this to happen. I mean, yeah, because of the neighborhood, but not somebody close.

It was very impressive. From the pulpit, he introduced everyone in the room. He has still been able to remember every name.

We (Wachovia) were searching for an organization to work with that had a proven track record of success. CIS and AVID have had tremendous success in helping students rededicate themselves to their studies and be successful in school.

We heard that lots of folks had a concern because they had an emotional attachment to the gas station going back many years.
