Steve Jones and Glen Matlock on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Steve Jones: on Indie 103.1 Opened his Friday programme (24th Feb) by singing: “We’re not going/To the museum/You can shove it/You can have it.”

The Sex Pistols’ former bass player, Glen Matlock, told The Independent on Sunday yesterday it had been a unanimous decision by the band to steer clear. “It’s nothing to do with the bands – it’s all to do with business. When I first heard about it I was quite excited… but then I found I was going to have to pay thousands of pounds to take my kids. It’s just a big corporate event, a bunch of Herberts in suits… just a money-making opportunity for multi-million shysters.

This is the best thing to happen in music that I’ve seen for a long time. A nice reminder of why the Pistols remain the most exciting and important thing to happen to Rock and Roll since Elvis Presley.
