Jones then released two solo albums and collaborated with famous music artists like Johnny Thunders, Iggy Pop, Cheap Trick, Bob Dylan, and Thin Lizzy. In 1995, Jones created a supergroup called Neurotic Outsiders with established singers who were also members of Guns N' Roses and Duran Duran but it did not last long.

Playing the guitar or drums and producing music albums has remained Jones' main revenue-generating activity. Since the 1980s, Jones usually played through Marshall JCM 800 Stacks and used Musicman Amps and a Fender Super Reverb during the 1978 US Tour. Currently, Jones plays Hamer Sunburst double-cut guitars and prefers the White Les Paul Custom as his main guitar. Jones earns mainly from his shows, tours, concerts, acting, and collaborations.

In February 2004, Jones started a daily radio show in Los Angeles called Jonesy's Jukebox on Indie 103.1 FM. He had the freedom to do whatever he wanted without being told what to do. Later in 2015, Jonesy's Jukebox came back on the radio, this time on 95.5 KLOS in Los Angeles. From January 1, 2016, the show aired for five days a week, i.e. Monday to Friday. KLOS is a popular classic rock station that plays music from bands like Van Halen, Aerosmith, and Pink Floyd. Some of the most favored singles and albums by Jones include "Mercy," "Fire and Gasoline," "I Didn't See It Coming," "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols," "The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle," and "Neurotic Disorders," 

Born in Shepherd's Bush suburb within the London borough of Hammersmith, J spent most of his childhood with his mother and grandparents. He later got addicted to sex due to which none of his relationships lasted long. Jones later revealed in his autobiography "Lonely Boy" that he was sexually abused by his stepfather, Ron Dambagella which affected his education and he considered himself functionally illiterate even in his 40s. He credited the creation of his band, Sex Pistols as the only thing that brought him out of the crime. He had ended up in legal trouble and crimes 14 times and the authorities put him under their care, and he spent a year in a remand centre. Jones was a self-taught guitarist, mainly using Gibson Les Paul electric guitars when he started.

In the early 1990s, Jones stopped using drugs and alcohol by joining a 12-step program and turned fully vegetarian. In 2019, he suffered a heart attack which required surgery. Additionally, Jones has never been married but once dated Alycen Rowse. He worked as a DJ for many local radio stations in California and is also a big fan of Chelsea F.C. and has supported the team since his childhood.

He recently even played with Hollywood United F.C., a soccer team in Los Angeles. It's an amateur team with mostly popular celebrities and ex-pro soccer players.
