Glen Matlock (born
August 27,
1956) was the original bass player of
punk rock band the
Sex Pistols. He left that band early in
1977, the legend being that he was 'thrown out' because he "liked
The Beatles" (although in a television interview in
2002, Pistols guitarist
Steve Jones stated that the real reason was that Matlock was "always washing his feet"). Matlock was replaced by
Sid Vicious, and went on to form
The Rich Kids[?], a
new wave/
power pop band, with
Midge Ure[?], Steve New and
Rusty Egan[?].
Matlock rejoined the surviving Sex Pistols members for reunion gigs in 1996 and 2002.
Matlock has published an autobiography, I Was A Teenage Sex Pistol. His website is at [1] (http://www.glenmatlock.com)
