![]() He asks me not to make the article too Pistols-orientated, which is perfectly understandable given his other band activity (at various times he has been a member of The Rich Kids, The Philistines and The Faces, as well as playing with the "intelligent, talented nutcase" that is Iggy Pop) and his new solo acoustic venture that brings him to Belfast to play Voodoo next month. Today, when chat comes round to The Pistols, the 57-year-old displays a strange mix of openness and defensiveness. It's a problem of proportions and the reputation of Glen Matlock, The Pistols' original bassist, has rather suffered because of it, from band mate Steve Jones' allegations that Matlock was "always washing his feet", to the bassist's wariness of Lydon (which still exists to this day). Then again, the hedonistic actions of John Lydon, Steve Jones and Paul Cook of the Seventies London punk band would make anyone look safe, even wet by comparison. Being the "most conservative" member of The Sex Pistols is surely akin to being the "wild one" of the current Snow Patrol line-up.
