Or that’s what I’m banking on, anyway!īE: That first solo album came out on Creation Records.
And, hopefully, the more living you do, the more you’ve got to talk about. But it’s no different now than how it always used to be years ago. As you go through life, things affect you in different ways, and you pick up on this and you pick up on that, and sometimes you get a song out of it. Whether or not it works quite like that, I don’t know, but that’s normally what I try and do.
Once you’ve got more than an album’s worth of songs floating around in your head, unfinished or unreleased or what have you, your psyche becomes unmanageable, you know? And you just have to clear everything out…and, hopefully, by clearing everything out, you make a good record at the same time. Not with a great deal of success, I must admit… ( Laughs) …but I write songs all the time, and you’ve got to have some kind of outlet. GM: Well, I’ve actually been doing it for awhile, to be honest.

In addition to his work with the Sex Pistols, Matlock also spent time as a member of The Rich Kids (along with Midge Ure and Rusty Egan of Visage) and wrote and played with Iggy Pop, but he’s had a bit of a solo career going as well. In the end, at least the man’s got his Bollocks royalties to keep him warm at night, but for those who aren’t aware of his further contributions to music, now’s the perfect time to start your education. Interviews Home / Music Home / Bullz-Eye HomeĪlthough he wrote the music for 10 out of the 12 songs on Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols, Glen Matlock has been forced to spend a great deal of his career as the answer to the trivia question, “Who played bass for the Sex Pistols prior to Sid Vicious joining to the band?” It’s a bit ridiculous, really…but, then, so is the story that Matlock was kicked out of the band because he liked the Beatles.
