There are two musicians known as Mick Jones, one connected to The Clash and Big Audio Dynamite, the other to Foreigner.
Michael Geoffrey “Mick” Jones (born 26 June 1955) was the lead guitarist and a vocalist of the British punk rock band The Clash until his dismissal in 1983. He went on to form the band Big Audio Dynamite with Don Letts before line-up changes led to the formation of Big Audio Dynamite II and later Big Audio.
In recent years Mick Jones has been collaborating with fellow punk icon Tony James, using the moniker Carbon/Silicon, and has released several albums of original material between 2002 and 2007.
Early life: Jones was born in Brixton, South London, England to a Welsh father and a Russian Jewish mother. He spent much of his early life living with his maternal grandmother, Stella, in South London. Jones went to Strand School - and then on to art school, because ” thought that’s how you get into bands and stuff”.
“ But even before The Dolls, I used to follow bands around. I followed Mott The Hoople up and down the country. I’d go to Liverpool or Newcastle or somewhere—sleep on the Town Hall steps, and bunk the fares on the trains, hide in the toilet when the ticket inspector came around. I’d jump off just before the train got to the station and climb over the fence. It was great times, and I always knew I wanted to be in a band and play guitar. That was it for me. ” —Mick Jones to Gibson Backstage Pass Holiday Double Issue 2006.

Both Mick Joneses are probably around the same age... besides, both Mick Joneses are extremely talented, just in different types of music
