In 1990, Matlock published his autobiography, I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol, and subsequently worked in the Role Models with ex-members of Public Image Ltd. Over the next few years, Matlock played with a variety of bands, including the Spectres (with Danny Kustow, ex- Tom Robinson Band), the London Cowboys (appearing on their 1984 album Tall in the Saddle), and Johnny Thunders (from about 1985-1987). Matlock played with Sid Vicious and joined Iggy Pop's band shortly thereafter, touring with Pop in 1979 and appearing on the following year's Soldier album. Upon his exit, Matlock formed a punk-pop unit called the Rich Kids, which also featured future Ultravox singer Midge Ure they released one album in 1978, Ghosts of Princes in Towers (which produced an overlooked classic in the title track), before breaking up. It is true that Matlock had the strongest melodic sensibility of anyone in the group and regardless of personality conflicts, he was an invaluable part of the Pistols' songwriting chemistry.Ī former art school student, Matlock had originally joined up with Jones and Cook in 1972 even though he left the group in 1977 before their debut album was completed, he was still rehired to complete the majority of the album's bass tracks.
It isn't true that Matlock was kicked out for liking the Beatles in fact, he was even more enamored of the Faces and the mod groups prominently featured on London pirate radio in the late '60s, as were Steve Jones and Paul Cook. There are numerous stories and myths about why original Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock was fired and replaced by Sid Vicious.
