Members Mermph Posted May 10, 2010 Members Share Posted May 10, 2010 Sex Pistols is one of those few bands where I can still remember exactly when and where I was when I first heard them. The first song I heard was Holidays in the sun. from that first guitar chord, I knew I liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass too-Jones played on the album, and his lack of "mad bass skillz" forced him to just pump 8's in whatever key-change. Responsible for a lot of the Pistol's vibe.....

Members outtahear Posted May 10, 2010 Members Share Posted May 10, 2010 So when did Matlock came in the picture? Day one-split later. Hired for "Bollocks", never played a note. Here: In fact, Matlock did play as a hired hand on 3 March, for what Jon Savage describes as an "audition session".[127] In his autobiography, Lydon claims that Matlock's work-for-hire for his ex-band was extensive, much more so than any other source reports, seemingly to amplify a putdown: "I think I'd rather die than do something like that."[128] Music historian David Howard states unambiguously that Matlock did not perform on any of the Never Mind the Bollocks recording sessions.[129] It was Jones who ultimately played most of the bass parts during the Bollocks recordings; Howard calls his rudimentary, rumbling approach the "explosive missing ingredient" of the Sex Pistols' sound.[129] Vicious' bass is reportedly present on one track that appeared on the original album release, "Bodies". Jones recalls, "He played his farty old bass part and we just let him do it. When he left I dubbed another part on, leaving Sid's down low. I think it might be barely audible on the track."[130] Following "God Save the Queen", two more singles were released from these sessions, "Pretty Vacant" (largely written by Matlock) on 1 July[131] and "Holidays in the Sun" on 14 October.[132] Each was a Top Ten hit.[133] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metalheadUK Posted May 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 10, 2010 I did notice that when they played "Pretty Vacant" Matlock actually played Steve Jones' "Bollocks" bass lines, rather than the original lines he played in the early days, and on the early demos.

Members csm Posted May 10, 2010 Members Share Posted May 10, 2010 Glen was on the original Anarchy In The UK/I Wanna Be Me single, and was the primary songwriter (lyrics apart, of course) for the original repertoire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
