His own band Janus Stark, from the same era, enjoyed a minor hit with the song "Every Little Thing Counts" from the album The Great Adventure Cigar.

Coming from a musical background, Butt began playing the guitar at the age of eleven, taking lessons with a jazz guitarist in Manchester.

During the years from 1981 to 1983, Butt co-wrote and recorded a number of their singles (including "Senseless Violence", "Religion", "Jailbait", "Forces of Law" and "Wild Thing") and the albums (Exercise The Demons of Youth, Armaggedon in Action, Bomb Hanoi, Merry Xmas and F*** Off).

Janus Stark released Great Adventure Cigar, which led to The Foo Fighters inviting Butt on stage to join them for a spell.

In 2003, Butt and Blair formed The More I See, a five piece thrash metal band that released 3 albums "The Wolves Are Hungry", "The Unholy Feast" and " The Disappearing Humans".

Chris introduced me to the Lynyrd Skynyrd album “Pronounced Le-nerd Skin-nerd” and a Jimi Hendrix live at Woodstock bootleg he’d picked up and I was gobsmacked.
