Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones has heaped praise on the Arctic Monkeys and said he would be happy to work with the Sheffield band in the future.
“I think they’re really good, and I think Alex Turner’s a very, very talented kid,” Jones has told Digital Spy.
“I’d like to do be a bit of guitar with them guys. I’ll play on anyone’s record, to be honest with you. Me and Alex, we text each other quite a lot. He’s a good kid.”
Later, Jones spoke of the ‘gift’ Arctics’ frontman Alex Turner has for lyrics, stating that: “He’s just got a gift for doing it and not many people have that gift. It’s just a gift that some people have. He’s one of them guys.”
“He’s got that real talent of writing lyrics and making it sound like an image. You see what he’s writing – you see the image of what he’s writing.”
