Neurotic Outsiders earned a unique place in the music industry after being named one of the “best supergroups” of all time.
An influential rock band in the 1990s, the four-piece group comprised top-notch musicians, including Sex Pistols’ Steve Jones on guitar and vocals, Guns N' Roses’ Duff McKagan on guitar, Duran Duran’s John Taylor on bass and drummer Matt Sorum from Guns N' Roses and The Cult.
Joining highly regarded groups such as Cream, Velvet Revolver, Temple of the Dog, Them Crooked Vultures and more, Neurotic Outsiders landed at No. 19 on the Top 20 list of the greatest supergroups in rock history, as ranked by Louder Sound.
The publication highlighted the band’s major success after releasing its self-titled debut album, Neurotic Outsiders, in 1996.
Under Maverick Records, the band released only one studio album and two successful singles before disbanding two years after its formation.

Formed in 1995, the group released its debut studio album a year later and peaked at No. 22 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart.
Their first single, “Jerk,” hit No. 14 on the UK Rock Chart and No. 3 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, making it their biggest standout track.
Another signature song by Neurotic Outsiders was their second official single, “Angelina,” written by Jones.
The strong reception from fans prompted the band to embark on a North American and European tour featuring surprise guests, marking its first and only tour as a band.
“I was dumbfounded,” McKagan told Yahoo, regarding the achievement of the supergroup at the time. “We were just having a laugh, after all. It was funny to hear it described as a group at all, much less a supergroup. The whole thing was totally casual - our live shows were nothing more than punk-rock parties, a couple of dudes playing loads of cover songs - Clash, Pistols, Damned, Stooges - with lots of our friends joining us onstage for a song or two.”
Although Neurotic Outsiders scored commercial success with its first studio album, the band failed to sustain its momentum and ultimately broke up in 1997 due to conflicting schedules and commitments to their primary bands.
Following the disbandment, Sorum rejoined The Cult while Taylor returned to Duran Duran for a full reunion.
As for McKagan, he focused on sobriety and earned a business and studied business, which led him to launch the money management firm Meridian Rock.
