I thought this was an interesting kind of guy. He wasnвЂ™t the kind of guy who had all the names alphabetically, some of the names he had in were Yoko Ono, the editor of the NME вЂќвЂњ all interesting people. I used to actually measure the Teddy Boys up for their drape jackets and then would have to call the tailor who would make the suits and I would have to go through MalcolmвЂ™s address book. I used to work for him at his Teddy Boy shop. It was an interesting dynamic and it was complicated.Г‚ He was 10 years older than us and was a very interesting fellow. What was the relationship between the group and McLaren? Plenty has been written about the Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren and how he used inventive and provocative techniques in promoting the band. Overnight instead of being on the front page of the music press, we were on the front page of the tabloids and became public enemy number one.ДЄlso See Hear Ilina HatsвЂ™ Peculiar New Single вЂMake It ThroughвЂ™ But he hadnвЂ™t counted the fact that Steve Jones was drunk and he tried to take it out on the wrong people and the rest is history. We only got the gig at the last minute because Queen were supposed to do it but pulled out and when we got there Steve Jones (guitarist) got drunk and the guy interviewing us, Bill Grundy, for some reason didnвЂ™t like us and he tried to take his dislike on us live on TV. We went on to plug our first single (вЂњAnarchy in the U.K.вЂќ).

It was a program that was on right after the six oвЂ™clock news вЂќвЂњ millions of people watched it. The Pistols were notorious for causing chaos wherever youвЂ™ll went вЂќвЂњ one of the most talked about instances was when youвЂ™ll appeared on the Bill Grundy Show in 1976, can you tell me what you recall from that event? In this interview with Rolling Stone India, Matlock takes us through his punk rock heyday and everything that he is looking forward to right now. Matlock, who left the Pistols during the recording sessions of their much-acclaimed 1977 debut album Never Mind the Bollocks, HereвЂ™s the Sex Pistols, went on to release a ton of solo material, perform in various other groups such as The Rich Kids, collaborate with American punk legend Iggy Pop and reunite with his Pistols band mates on multiple occasions.

The British musician and founding member of the legendary group The Sex Pistols was in Mumbai to perform at Hard Rock CafГѓВ©, Worli alongside U.K.-based crossover artist Alluri. Matlock plays a London residency with five nights at the Boisdale Club in Canary Wharf, London, from 30 July to 3 August.We caught up with punk rock royalty Glen Matlock recently and the experience was as memorable as it could get for a young music journalist. In my live show I do a bit of everything to keep everybody including myself happy. I didnвЂ™t set out to write a Sex Pistols album and fail miserably. ItвЂ™s quite personal, but there are some tongue-in-cheek funny bits in it. вЂњWhen it comes to music, I like some actual music in the music!вЂќ says Matlock of the album.

Matlock went on to work with an extraordinary array of musicians including Iggy Pop, the Dammed, Primal Scream, Mick Jones, Midge Ure, Gary Kemp, Ronnie Wood and such punkn contemporaries as Rusty Egan, Mike Peters, Tom Robinson and Kirk Brandon. Matlock was only 16 when he joined the Pistols, and co-wrote such iconic punk songs of theirs as вЂPretty Vacant,вЂ™ вЂAnarchy In The UKвЂ™ and вЂGod Save The Queen.вЂ™ By the release of their seminal Never Mind The Bollocks, HereвЂ™s The Sex Pistols album, he had been replaced in acrimonious circumstances by Sid Vicious. I think Bowie would have been proud of that song. I said letвЂ™s go with it and he built it up. вЂњThe sustained sound in the background behind the guitar riff was Earl, itвЂ™s pretty off the wall. The basic chord structure is like вЂSpanish HarlemвЂ™ or вЂStand By Me,вЂ™ juxtaposed with EarlвЂ™s Ebow guitar which is like something from BowieвЂ™s вЂHeroes.вЂ™ I think вЂSpeak Too SoonвЂ™ is my favourite song on the album. In the words of Lennon, IвЂ™m writing for the kids that have grown up with me. вЂњItвЂ™s well known I like the Faces and a bit of Bob Dylan, and itвЂ™s all incorporated in there somewhere.
