  Ah, the Sex Pistols—now, that takes us down a rock ‘n’ roll rabbit hole, doesn't it? By December 1998, Glen Matlock, the band's original bassist, was not in the mainstream spotlight as much as he was during the band's explosive heyday in the late 1970s. In fact, the Pistols' sole studio album, "*Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols*," was released back in 1977, a firestorm of sound and defiance that changed music forever. Fast forward to the late '90s, Matlock was touring and performing his own material, like the songs from his 1999 album, "*Good to Go*." Interestingly, this live performance at "The Beat Room" showcases Matlock’s resilience—carrying the punk torch even as the genre morphed dramatically. And here's a fun fact: while many think of the Sex Pistols as a tightly-knit unit, their legacy was a more complicated tapestry of collaborations and tensions, with Matlock being key to much of their early sound. Playing in Glasgow, he probably felt that electricity in the crowd, a reminder of the raw energy punk brought to the UK music scene. Wouldn't you love to feel that vibe?
