Glen Matlock & Eric blair talk the Sex Pistols /Iggy Pop /his history 2019

[@blackmore4]

Such a rarity. An interviewer who asks pertinent informed questions and then lets the interviewee actually answer them without interrupting. Bravo.

[@zigzogoid4591]

Agree entirely, he allowed Glenn to open up in a natural way without interruption. A joy to watch.

[@simonmannick8389]

Great Interview by Eric Blair he really knows his stuff. What a Great guy Glen Matlock is, I've meet Glen many of times and he is a Top man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ninajoyce588]

He is a lovely human. I was lucky enough to meet him and it was a terrific time.

[@thevelointhevale1132]

Glen is a great bloke - worst thing to ever happen to the Pistols was that he left.

[@Enoch_Owl]

I do agree. Especially if we're talking about the actual music and the Pistols as a band because we probably would've got more Sex Pistols songs and maybe another studio album or two but at the same time Sid joining the Pistols was the best thing that happened to them. The fact that they imploded so quickly and only put out one actual album is in many respects the way it should've been.

[@paull.6026]

In a way it worked out fine. The Sid era was cool too. Them imploding was a good end. Short, sweet and super intense history that influenced so many for decades to come. Very important band that didn't fizzle and fade away.

[@paull.6026]

@Munro Yeah, but we wouldn't have gotten the amazing early PiL music and that stuff is awesome. As is that whole saga as well.

[@sexobscura]

The WORST thing to happen to them was their 97 reunion tour (and their subsequent tours) They also didn't 'implode'. John quit. The others tried carrying on, but two members had left and it was just a marketable name by then ... and ridiculous to boot

[@leivhuns]

Totally Agree !! Excellent bassplayer !!

[@GrantKilburn]

The best interview by far that I’ve seen someone do with Glen Matlock. Well done, Eric 👌🏼

[@Muirton66]

One of the best and informative interviews I have seen with any of the Pistols, Glen is a top bloke.

[@scotty6346]

Glen Matlock was the Backbone of the Sex Pistols, None of you ever forget that.

[@electricleg207]

You are so right. Steve ,John and Paul were just as vital but Glen wrote most of the Pistols music.

[@bluerfoot]

The evidence is they never did one meaningful musical thing once he was out. It became all image.

[@jessejorgensen3931]

I can't believe there isn't a ton more subscribers? I've been watching this guy since the early-mid 00's. He always asks good questions. I love his danzig interviews.

[@bangtwister]

Fantastic interview! This one and The Cramps interview are my favourites!

[@jonesy2111]

Great stuff here...Glen is so underrated as a musician

[@seanregan4063]

Really good interview actually , always good to hear Glens-take on things

[@libertard6101]

Eric , Great interview! I know you from Jack Grisham ,…. Good questions to a legend🤙🏽

[@mikegraham4255]

Thanks for asking questions that fans want the answers to! Great stuff.

[@stevemalibu99]

Great interview!

[@worse-than-gnomes]

Great interview. Really informative. My next jumping-off point here on KZbin is Glen's album.

[@pedrofernando1598]

Fantastic interview!!

[@mah9542]

Right from the horses mouth ,from someone who comes across as just a normal guy who has had an extraordinary career doesn’t try to create headlines If you want to know the real story of the Pistols, Rich Kids and all the people on the periphery Of that scene , background on some of the legends he’s played with this interview tells it all as it was , no bs , from someone who was there at the start and is still at the top of his game .just a great interview

[@marksoquet8626]

Awesome

[@dab9122]

Saw Glen and the Pistols in Sydney 1996, terrific gig, one of the best I have ever been at...

[@Aaliyah-ng5pc]

[@GlassTarantulah]

Great interview.. Glen is a UK legend and innovator.

[@JCSAXON]

Well handled and thoroughly enjoyable

[@philipjones7372]

Really good 'different angle' interveiw. Glen's a down to earth no nonsense guy. Thanks 👍🏼

[@Fractalite]

What a fantastic interview with Glen Matlock. Great questions , and just let him talk .

[@derekdykeman9160]

Great interview Eric.

[@adambinnie1332]

So a lot of truths then in last years Pistols series.

[@clausm2203]

Great interview

[@berenicehickey1503]

I wss living in London opposite the 100 Club in 1977. What a great period of my life!

[@helenaopal]

Thanks for posting!

[@Mark_Ocain]

I remember Freddy Laker and his sky train. He also ran ex Qantas 707's for a while before that to fly folks to holiday locations

[@enekoetxeandia906]

Great Interview!

[@gazriley624]

Met Glen in Liverpool years ago

[@MrGiorgioud]

I will state it here and I think everyone (except maybe Lydon) will agree with me: Glen Matlock was the engine, melodic and chordal, composition-wise (without forgetting his wicked backing vocals), that kept the Pistols together and made them what they were. The proof is in the pudding: after he left, they barely managed to put two songs together, and fell apart rapidly, becoming a joke and a parody. Plus, his driving bass-playing really made them a tour de force live. As much as I admire Lydon’s brain and attitude, the things he said about Matlock through the years, he should be ashamed of himself.....

[@MrGiorgioud]

@ldyson22 you are right. But Lydon is and always was extremely intelligent and perceptive, and I think Glen (who is no slouch in the intelligence stakes, in fact McLaren picked him up because he could use his intelligence) would have been comfortable with the intellectual side of the band if Lyndon would have been less egotistical and ....well, less of a dickhead. As he says in a book (I think “England’s dreaming”, but I might be wrong) “imagine being stuck in a van with Rotten”......

[@mjh5437]

Rubbish,Matlock`s career has been totally inconsequential since the Pistols,99.9% of people couldn`t name a single one of his solo records lolol

[@nestorlopez6983]

Nice 👍

[@TheMusicmak3r]

Sweet

[@glennoc8585]

Haven't seen Matlock for years. His hair is grey but still looks well.

[@MikeyRumi180]

Sid HAD IMAGE! Glen looked like an unremarkable average nobody. Simple as that. But Glen had immense talent. cheers.

[@santiagoj9042]

did Glen not play on the sex pistols records?

[@santiagoj9042]

@Sharks Thanks, bruv!

[@user-pt1ow8hx5l]

He did help put the album together. Yes.

[@caileanmoore2835]

The band members are still living on the fame they gained with the Sex Pistols more than what they are currently doing.

[@thomasandersen6719]

So is Paul McCartney

[@seangodreau]

Glen can be heard on the sex pistols spunk demo album. Shame he didn't last with the band that couldn't last

[@seangodreau]

Of course he did the reunions though

[@GilbertSyndrome]

Sean Godreau They wanted him out, and ironically he was probably the best musician among them to some extent. Sid couldn't play a note, but he "looked the part."

[@lamper2]

I prefer that record to bullocks

[@tynkirbell599]

Just finished I was a teenage Sex Pistol Glen referred to the Bromley contingent in less adoring terms lol

[@alexandersanchez7546]

Sic!

[@danielrodger6016]

The IRA in Malcolms address book lol I wonder why?

[@13strange67]

He was wasted and never appreciated with the Pistols (should have joined the Bay City Rollers)

[@dragonflysutra3232]

glen deserves his due but a bit disingenuous about the ny dolls, as they released their album in 1973 way before the sex pistols. yes there was cross referencing but the punk sound and look started in new york as marky ramone said.
