I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol

Trace the Pistols' ascent to global infamy through an honest, insightful chronicle of a band of malcontents determined to reform the music business and to attack hypocrisy and stale conventions in society at large. Based on the novel written by Glen Matlock, one of the Sex Pistols' founding members who co-wrote ten of twelve iconic songs on their only studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Glen describes in detail the mindset of the UK in the early '70s and divulges a mine of information: Steve's thievery, Wally Nightingale, the search for a singer, the exploding punk scene and a bleak backdrop providing a contrast to McLaren's shop. The public will now have a chance to hear the story, not just from a member of the band, but also from a man who had his contributions exceptionally downplayed.
