Neurotic Outsiders was a British-American rock supergroup founded in 1995, consisting of Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, Matt Sorum and Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses, and John Taylor of Duran Duran. The first line-up featured Billy Idol and Steve Stevens, together with McKagan and Sorum, but they were soon replaced by Jones and Taylor.

Originally a gathering of friends jamming together at the Viper Room in Los Angeles, the band released one eponymous album on Maverick Records in September 1996, and briefly toured Europe and North America. The band broke up in 1997 due to the members' commitments to other projects, but reunited briefly in April 1999 for three shows at the Viper Room.

History

Neurotic Outsiders was formed when Matt Sorum recruited Steve Jones, Duff McKagan and John Taylor to play at a benefit at the Viper Room in Los Angeles in June 1995. Following growing interest from music executives, the band was signed to Maverick Records and given one million dollars to record an album. The band went on tour in support of the album through Europe and North America, but ceased to exist due to Jones participating in the Sex Pistols' reunion and McKagan focusing on Guns N' Roses. Neurotic Outsiders reunited in 1999 for three shows at the Viper Room.
