Glen Matlock was the original bass player for the Sex Pistols and the bands primary song writer. The reason Glen was kicked out of the band depends on who you ask. Back in the day the Pistols claimed it was because he was too conservative and listened to the Beatles. Glen claims that he quite the band because of all the "bullshit". There was a lot of tension between Glen and vocalist Johnny Rotten but many people believe that this was exacerbated by manager Malcolm McLaren. One thing is for sure Glen Matlock was a shitload more talented than his replacement Sid Vicious. When Sid entered the picture the Pistols stopped writing new material and turned into a freak show. Judging by Matlocks next band Rich Kids and Rotten's P.I.L. these guys still had a lot of creativity and music left in them. This leaves you to wonder what a second Sex Pistols album might have sounded like?
