Glen Matlock returns to talk all about the new documentary, I Was A Teenage Sex Pistol, and why he finally wanted to tell HIS side of the Sex Pistols story! Glen explains his complicated relationship with Johnny Rotten/John Lydon, what really caused the original split, and why the “Glen got fired for liking The Beatles” story was total BS. He talks about writing some of the Pistols’ biggest riffs and lyrics including “Pretty Vacant” and “Anarchy In The UK,” the chemistry between himself, Steve Jones, and Paul Cook, and why Sid Vicious became the face of the band despite barely playing bass. Glen shares stories about reforming the Pistols with Frank Carter, the new generation of fans discovering the band, and what Frank brings to the stage. Plus, Glen reveals how he ended up playing with Blondie, performing with The Faces and Ronnie Wood, jamming with Sid Vicious in The Vicious White Kids, touring with Clem Burke, and why punk exploded exactly when it did in 1970s England. There’s also talk about Malcolm McLaren, Debbie Harry, Billy Idol, Wayne Kramer, Elvis, The Rolling Stones, the infamous Bill Grundy interview, canceled tours, and why the Sex Pistols legacy still looms larger than ever nearly 50 years later.\
