The most notable work he has done since is almost certainly being the bassist for his replacement's later band Vicious White Kids, in which Sid Vicious proved himself as a very capable front man.
That divergence in what the band should aspired to be can be seen in Matlock's annoyance with Johnny Rotten for turning down the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as given in an interview with Post Gazette: "I think it was a unilateral decision by Johnny Rotten and I don't agree with it." Steve Jones merely said "I appreciate it but I couldn't care less" about the honor. When responding to a question from Rhino about whether it was Malcolm McClaren, the Pistols' manager, who fired Matlock, Steve Jones confessed that it was a group decision: "He was a good writer but he didn't look like a Sex Pistol and he was always washing his feet." The official telegram, as remembered by the BBC, said "Yes Glen Matlock was thrown out of the Sex Pistols so I'm told because he went on too long about Paul McCartney STOP" Matlock had already left the band.Īs far as a reason for his dismissal has actually emerged, it seems that he left for the same reasons why Sid Vicious joined: his look and what he thought the band should be.
While most fans of the Sex Pistols know that Sid Vicious replaced Glen Matlock as the bassist, few know, however that almost all the bass parts on Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols - with the exception of " Anarchy in the UK" - were not played by Matlock, but by Steve Jones, the band's guitarist.
