What are the SEX PISTOLS doing TODAY? A 2024 Update! 

i met Glen in Liverpool in 1999 he was such a cool guy very laid back

I like listening to your anecdotes. They are so much fun, and your personality shines through!

Glen has got at least one child, a son in his early twenties, also a musician.

Saw John in Folkestone Kent in April 24 & he was in his usual fine form. Yes no pictures/filming but a very entertaining 2 hours. I'm a huge Pistols fan & but took exception to him being quite derogatory towards his old band mates. At this point in his life didn't see any need for that & all of them contributed hugely to the sound & projection of the Pistols! Interesting to hear this contemporary update 👍

Enjoyed that. Saw John on his tour a couple of weeks back, witty, caustic and emotional, top form he was on and also met him once with Rambo too though our words between us were not friendly in the end as they were both in a bad mood lol. Glen I met in the 80's when he was a boozer, wasn't a happy chappy them days. Paul I've met several times at gigs, nice fella and Steve the once at an airport, quiet he was. Either way, still my favourite band all these decades later.

Steve Jones book is by far the best and he made a fortune from the rights to the tv series and the music so i think you'll find his radio days are limited now Jones is a true streetwise survivor who knows how to play the game while keeping his integrity intact

Paul and Glen have kept the most busy over the years, with different projects

22:20 they are in a Pie & mash shop in London. Kind of an old skool thing. Such shops used to be everywhere but are now quite rare.

The Sex Pistols are scheduled to reunite to do fundraising shows for Bush Hall, Aug. 13 & 14. Apparently they will play “Never Mind The Bullocks”. Only they will be joined by Frank Cook on vocals. That’s the news I’ve heard...

Love your channel! Great story telling. Great subjects! 😎 Johnny is an obvious legend, but i think Steve, Paul AND Glen were the true heart of S.P. Johnny had obvious merits. It was all the right chemistry.

Another great video on this marvelous channel. Thank you

Ok so we got a couple new gigs coming up, Glen Steve and Paul - Bush hall, London.

As a big Sex Pistols-fan myself, I think and hope that in 2026 a true miracle will happen; for 50 years The Sex Pistols they will again unite!!! friendly greetings from Belgium Jason

Thank you very much! I love your videos 🖖😊👍🏻🎼🎵🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸☮❤

Think I mentioned this previously. I ran into Paul Cook last October in the off licence - convenience shop . Was he buying some crisps ? I told him I loved him for all the great sounds . I was gigging in the Polish Centre there in Hammersmith for that week but thought yeah I will see Paul again then invite him to a musical all in Polish ha ha . Didn’t see him again…. The show was great . I played my cheap Beatle bass . Romford! A crazy place for them to meet , unusual. It’s Essex or on the edge of Greater London. A market town and I used to buy a lot of records there at a shop called sounds familiar and a stall in the market . Got Stanley Clarke lps there . Went there to PMT last week the guitar shop . That’s Professional Music Technology in Romford , got a guitar for a student. Romford has no shortage of pubs

You really should write that book you know? Good stuff. The Pistols were the only band that mattered. Greetings from the Celtic Welsh. Diolch.

I wish more people would share their memories like you are. Thank you!

Met John in barrow Cumbria the other week. Great guy. As for the remaining pistols gig. Less said the better.

My favourite band too!!

Thank you so much for this video! I really dig your personality and some of your stories are legendary status long live the Sex Pistols!

Thanks for responding to me & sorry for the delayed response. He did speak ill of them & that was completely unnecessary. They are great musicians in their own right & combined to produce the unmistakable pistols sound! I think had John relented a bit back in 78, they could have made a few more albums. By the way I totally agree with you regarding Spunk. A very different output compared to NMTB, with a less produced rawer sound! Take care from a sunny Uk! 👍😉

I saw The Professionals in Leamington Spa at the tail end of 2023 when they toured with The Rezillos. After their set the band came out to the merch stall in the bar. It was great to chat with Cookie and the rest of the band. Many took the opportunity of having their photos taken with Paul what a fantastic bloke he is.

Nice video , im meeting John next month for a meet and greet , so it should be a great night .

None of the Taylors, and there were 3 I believe, in Duran Duran were related. Steve Jones also had a rather serious heart attack a few years ago so I assume that is why he adopted a healthier lifestyle. I remember seeing Steve and Paul hanging out at the Masque after the San Francisco show but not Lydon unfortunately. Yes Johnny & Nora tried to get pregnant but Nora was much older than Johnny so that might have been an issue with her fertility, they did raise Ari's twins after she died, so Lydon did get the child rearing experience. I have followed Glen for years on facebook, he seems like a great guy. I love the fact that all the original Pistols are still alive.

M', you are an amazing, interesting, intelligent, knowledgeable lady....you are a credit to your family, to your country, to your State and to yourself!

Thanks for another swell vid, Glen recently played with Katie Puckrick and Clem Burke performing Iggy Pop songs (to my utter dismay I missed the gig when they played near me, hope they tour again ...) Luv your stories,

Cool, I like the tip for the Glen Matlock free gig nice one. Looks like a little jaunt on the underground to Kings Road coming up..Cheers. All the best from North London

The pub you met Glen Matlock in Maida Vale is called The Elgin. I used to live in Maida Vale and would bump into him now and again. Fun Fact 1: Chrissie Hynde also lives in Maida Vale and played an acoustic gig at the Elgin in 2017 Fun Fact 2: Sid and Nancy lived in Maida Vale in 1977 at 3 Pindock Mews W9 2PY, rented for them by Malcolm Mclaren. The area was pretty run down in the 1970s and the small flat was more like a squat. Several photos of Sid and Nancy were taken there. The area is very gentrified now and the property is expensive. You can see the house on Google street view. I used to live on the adjacent street Warwick Avenue in the 2000s and would walk past their house which had no signage on it to suggest Sid lived there. Tbh I doubt the current occupants have any idea either. The value of the property on Pindock Mews is in 7 figures so they might want to keep the fact Sid lived there quiet 😂

Hi Maggie. I stumbled upon this video which I am very happy about. Great work as usual. Good to see you again. Mimi Bordeaux 😅🎉

Another great video. Well done. All the best from Liverpool UK 🇬🇧 😊

The Pistols are legendary. Been a fan since i was a teen.

Hey another great video really enjoyed it! What do you think about the recent news on the Sex Pistols Shepherd’s Bush charity gigs with Frank Carter singing ? I’d love to know what you think? Keep up the great work! Cheers

The beautiful pub you visited in Maida Vale with a little Thai restaurant upstairs is called The Warrington and is still there,and yes you`re right Glen still lives very close to it at the other end of Warrington Crescent by the Prince Alfred pub at the end of Sid`s street Pindock Mews where Sid & Nancy and Johnny Thunders also hung out along with the Warrington...I often see Glen at the football club we both support QPR (Queens Park Rangers),I sometimes see Mick Jones from The Clash there with him too.I used to see Siouxsi Sioux at the Warrington too in the late 1970s/early 1980s,I remember I was only about 14 the first time I saw her so when she left I picked up her cigarette butt and kept it for years lolol.

Nice to see you again, im going to see john lydon question and answers june 23 rd should be good in my home town leic uk.

Lovely job thank you.

Glen also filled in on the Faces reunion with Rod, Ron, Kenney & Mac. The bike shop is Fred Warr's (Oldest Harley dealership in the UK"!

Great video!!!!!

Wouldn't think your favorite band was the pistols on appearances. Fair play. And let's hope you enjoy them for many more years

Funny to hear Sid loved ABBA....,Lemmy Motorhead loved them too.

I saw him on the street in London about two weeks ago!!.. .His house is in Fulham just up the road from mine and he was walking out of the supermarket just as I was walking in,I`ve seen him around several times over the years but I only stopped to chat with him the first time which was when he was on his last British tour and he was outside his house unloading his suitcases with Rambo,he always looks deep in thought and I don`t want to disturb him,he must get sick of it.

Woohoo! Love you!

A lady in Hawaii has Steve Jones original Les Paul.There is a Jonsey’s jukebox episode on RU-vid where he mentions trying to get it back.

I didn’t know John Rambo had passed I did see PIL in Coventry Uk last year and remember seeing him at the side of the stage did wave at him god bless

I the 1990s Cookie`s daughter Holly Cook went to my old Primary School in Holland Park Avenue,West London,(Norland Place School),..Paul Weller and Simon Le Bon both had kids there too at the same time and my two boys were there at the same time so they were friends then and still in touch with each other I believe....I used to see them all outside the school gates and on Parent`s Day and Sports Day etc..David Beckham lives just over the road from the same school so I should think he had all his kids there too more recently.

Great video upload, nice to hear what the band members are up to these days. Was Ronnie Biggs classified as a band member? Only joking Lol. Would love to see John Lydons talk tour, but I am in Australia and I don't think he will come out here for that unfortunately. Can't wait till you do an upload on the Damned, when you saw them and met them in LA in 1977. You have great stories to tell, very entertaining 👍

Hey 👋 Love your videos about the pistols. So cool that you got to see them back in the day. Regarding the ‘Romford’ lyric in Lydon’s PIL song LFCF - It’s a reference to the first rehearsal that he turned up to with the Sex Pistols back in 1975, where none of them showed up. Their first rehearsal was actually in a part of London called Rotherhithe, which is south east London, just east along the river from Tower Bridge, not in Romford. Romford is an outer suburb of east London in Essex. I say he’s just used some artistic license here as Romford sounds better than Rotherhithe! Or he’s forgotten over time as it was nearly 50 years ago now. I feel for John as he’s really had a tough year. I don’t think any of the band ever really understood him and unfortunately these feelings have just got bitter with time and I doubt that they will ever reform and play together again.

Remember, Tho Rotten and Nora never had biological kids they spent decades raising Nora’s two grandsons. Lots of work . Especially since their Mom Ari Up was not to be bothered?

Bumped into Steve Jones in 2022 in Santa Monica CA shopping 🛒 cool person...hi there mate

He was very sad at Chester he started to cry when the photos of Nora came up on the screen. They warn you before the show not to film it.

Hiya,glad to see you back,how was your trip to London?

Glen said in an interview with Dick Slaughter that he’s not married anymore and his kids are grown so he did have offspring.

Lydon's politics and attitude to the other Pistols over the last few years has tarnished my admiration for him. No idea what his opposition to Steve's book dramatisation was, other than jealousy and not being in charge. They are diplomatic about Lydon but he calls them all sorts publicly. By the way if you believe all his stories you're nuts lol.

Hey all, their is a story that a girl named Sarah dated Sid for a few months in 1976 and became pregnant, giving birth to a boy named Daniel in July 1977. I am not sure how accurate this is but a lady from Lewisham posted an article online saying that Daniel now in his forties is the absolute double of Sid.

maybe have a review on new seekes where they are now lots of going in and out

Steve did a lot of session work , quite notably the guitar solo on Joan Jetts I love rock nRoll , spent the night her and she became a lesbian after lol (true story)

steves radio channel was good.

PS it was my birthday yesterday yesterday 😅

Sid covered in vomit as he tries to meet his heroes….Very “cute”! 😂🤣💀

They are with all the rest of the punks... sitting quietly collecting royalties and not saying anything political or relevant. As it turns out they were just performers all along. We need Skrewdriver back.

I think lydon holds too many grudges. He sometimes gets a kick out of being awkward I think. Steve Paul,Glen are genuine good approachable people

Oh the Taylors aren’t brothers

Hi Maggie, great video.. You should check out Glens latest biog called triggers, plenty of up to date info.

I heard excepts that PIL did of Hawaii Release on some podcast dedicated to Nora. It sounded great! John cancelled his Paramount speaking show in Oct. here in Austin due to scheduling problems. Steve's Jonesey.s Juckbox is great. He knows Music and personally a lot of musicians. His interview of Pete Townsend was very good down here @ SXSW for KLOS. That Les Paul from Generation Sex was stolen from a Reggae Band in London who he had on the radio show where he paid him for it. Steve was able to put a down payment for his house from the 1996 Sex Pitol's Tour Filthy Lucre. Steve has had John on the show.

5:44 you rang? 😸 Didn't much take to the Pistols and hated Generation X but saw Generation Sex last year (Steve & Paul + Billy Idol & Tony James) and really enjoyed it. And more recently, Glen in an Iggy "tribute show" fronted by Katie Puckrik.

I find it interesting that Paul and Glen look great and are still quite active with music....while John and Steve look terrible and arent really doing anything

Bring back Martin ffs...

Do you now what you talking about

What’s Sid up to these days?

The Sex Pistols were kinda , ahem,, manufactured by McClaren so no surprise that they don’t talk much together much . The Damned were more than punk . I think the Sex Pistols were talented . Cooke , Jones and Glen M could play their instruments . Rotten was a lyricist. But the Damned were very talented and got screwed over .
