He contacts a number of his celebrity friends, and the Neurotic "Boy" Outsiders are formed, initially for the one show: Steve Jones (guitar and vocals), Duff McKagan (guitar and vocals), John Taylor (bass and vocals) and Matt Sorum (drums). "I asked John if he'd play bass" said Matt Sorum "because I'd always liked his playing in The Power Station ...Duff's being playing guitar lately, so I asked him if he'd play. Duff knew Steve from mountain biking." "We rehearsed in the afternoon and did it that night," recalled Duff. "We thought it was cool, everything was good. Good Karma."
