🎸 Glen Matlock – From Punk Revolution to Blondie’s Basslines 🎸
This week on Long Way to the Top, we’re joined by a true legend of punk rock history—Glen Matlock. He’s the original bassist and co-writer for the band that changed everything: The Sex Pistols. And today, he’s bringing that same energy to stages around the world as the current bassist for Blondie.
In this episode, Glen reflects on his wild ride through the birth of punk—writing and recording the album that lit the fuse: Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols. From the chaos, controversy, and cultural impact of the Pistols to the enduring power of punk as an attitude, Glen brings insight, humor, and hard-earned perspective.
But this isn’t just a look back. Glen also shares what it’s like to be part of Blondie’s modern lineup, touring with one of the most stylish and trailblazing bands in music history. From Debbie Harry’s iconic voice to the band’s fearless evolution, he gives us a backstage view of what it’s like playing bass in one of the coolest bands on the planet.
