| Glen's autobiography. |
Glen Matlock was a founding member of the
Sex Pistols and co-wrote most of their iconic songs. His story of the Pistols'
rise to global infamy is an honest, insightful account of a group of
intelligent malcontents, determined to change the music business and to attack
hypocrisy and stale conventions in society at large. Glen brilliantly captures
the flavour of seventies Britain and reveals the complexities and personality
clashes that made the Pistols so explosive at that time. Also includes true
tales of the Pistols reunion tours of 1996 and 2002. Never mind the other books about the Sex Pistols, here's the truth.
