Episode Details

Glen Matlock, the original Sex Pistols bassist, is releasing his own documentary, I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol, offering his perspective on the bands story. The film, directed by Andre Relis and Nick Mead, contrasts with Steve Jones Pistol miniseries, which portrayed Matlock as an out-of-touch rich kid. Matlock, who co-wrote most of the bands tracks, left the group due to constant clashes with John Lydon and manager Malcolm McLaren. He expresses concern that Pistol may be perceived as factual due to its realistic portrayal. The new documentary features no new interviews with Lydon, as he has severed ties with his former bandmates. The Sex Pistols are set to embark on a US tour this fall, with Frank Carter as the frontman.
