Biography

Glen Matlock (born 27 August 1956) is an English musician and the bass guitarist in the original line-up of the punk rock band the Sex Pistols. He is credited as a songwriter on 10 of the 12 songs on the Sex Pistols' only officially released studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, although he had left the band early in the recording process, he played bass on one song on the album, "Anarchy in the U.K." However, on the bootleg album Spunk, Matlock played bass on all the songs, which included earlier studio recordings of 10 of the 12 songs that later appeared on the Bollocks album. Since leaving the Sex Pistols in 1977, he has performed with several other bands, including Rich Kids, who scored a UK No. 24 hit with the single "Rich Kids" in 1978, as well as presenting his own work. After the death of his replacement in the Sex Pistols, Sid Vicious, Matlock has resumed bass guitar duties for subsequent Sex Pistols reunions, including the 1996 Filthy Lucre Tour, the 2002 concert to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II, their 2003 North American Piss Off Tour, their 2007–08 UK and Europe Combine Harvester Tour and their current incarnation with Frank Carter guesting on vocals.
