GLEN MATLOCK TOUR PLUS

You put out a 7 inch single with Earl Slick for вЂConsequences Coming/Constant CravingвЂ™, this sold out really quickly, any plans to re-press it? Was fun at the time but no big deal, mostly cool guys though. I know that youвЂ™ve recently played a few dates with the supergroup вЂDead Men WalkingвЂ™, was there something that made this come about or was it just a chance to catch up with the guys and play some music? If you could go back in time and change something that happened in your career, what would it be? IвЂ™d quite like to do something with Jack White. YouвЂ™ve worked with some amazing names in the music industry throughout your career, is there anyone that you are still hoping to work with? I like Richie Havens and BowieвЂ™s acoustic strumming in the Spiders from Mars.Д®lectric wise, Ronnie Wood is fab, Earl Slick is right up there and surprisingly, ZakвЂ™s Starkey (drummer) is a pretty nifty rhythm guitarist, which is all I aspire to but lead playing though is normally best left to the experts! I started out playing acoustic guitar snd switched to bass for the Pistols. You play guitar as well as bass, which instrument came first and who did you most want to emulate in your playing style? I quite dig very Early Tommy Steele snd Billy Fury too who I was fortunate enough to meet one time in the early 80s Yes I love the spirit and simplicity of Rockabilly and my all time favourites are Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps. Motown has that in heaps and bundles and the quality of the songwriting, playing, production and performances are superlative - whatвЂ™s not to like?!ДЄnd rockabilly of course being a great style that has really stood the test of time, which rockabilly bands and artists would you recommend to anyone who was interested in hearing more? The only yardstick I apply to any genre is how well constructed and executed it is. Yes that is true I like many styles of music and have catholic taste. I have read quite a few interviews where you were asked about styles of music that you grew up listening to and people may be surprised to learn that youвЂ™re a big fan of Motown, Soul and UK R&B, what is it about these styles that resonate with you so much? How have the audience reacted to the reworked versions of the classic hits? Yes itвЂ™s good to be out and about playing again for sure but not really just a rockabilly thing, just a few of the songs have that flavour and swing to them and yes a couple of Pistols songs get an airing too. ItвЂ™s great to see that youвЂ™re on the road at the moment with your live Rockabilly show where I understand youвЂ™re performing some Sex Pistols classics with a bit of a twist?
