#GLEN MATLOCK RICH KIDS MOVIE#
TV Movie documentary writer: "Pretty Vacant", "Anarchy in the UK"įairport Convention, Who Knows Where the Time Goes? Forever changing rock 'n' roll history as chief songwriter with the Sex Pistols, the evolving path walked by Glen Matlock remains unbound by genre, geography, & task. If you want a Rich Kids CD, Best of the Rich Kids is doubtless the one to get, but it's an open question how often you'll ever bother to listen to the disc all the way through after cherry-picking the three or four obvious gems and putting them on your homemade "punk also-rans" compilation.TV Movie documentary writer: "Anarchy in the UK" Best of the Rich Kids collects practically everything you could want from this band - it features the Ghosts of Princes in Towers album in its entirety (and in sequence), along with a dozen single tracks, live cuts, and unreleased tunes, which means you get the handful of career highlights along with everything else that cluttered up this group's catalog, all in cleanly remastered form. Featuring former Silk kid and future Ultravox frontman Midge Ure on vocals, drummer Rusty Egan (whose future resumé would include stints in Visage and Thin Lizzy), and guitarist Steve New along with Matlock, the Rich Kids had chops and enthusiasm, but a rather lopsided sense of direction, wavering between punk and glam without ever landing comfortably in either, and while the band managed a few stray tracks that worked - most notably their self-titled debut single and the title cut from their sole album, Ghosts of Princes in Towers - most of their output was goopy and overdone ( Mick Ronson's production on the album didn't help one bit), with Ure's highly theatrical vocal style more than a bit irritating in large doses.
However, left to his own devices, Matlock wasn't in much better shape after leaving the Pistols, Matlock formed the Rich Kids, and while he brought his knack for a hook with him, his new band wasn't nearly as exciting (admittedly a tall order). Rich Kids About Rich Kids Following his 1977 firing from the Sex Pistols - reportedly for expressing an admiration for the Beatles - bassist Glen Matlock founded the Rich Kids, a more experimental pop/rock outfit rounded out by guitarist Steve New, drummer Rusty Egan and vocalist Midge Ure, formerly of the group Silk. What’s also clear is that with all due respect to the Pistols, the band suffered musically from Matlock’s departure. History has taught that the Sex Pistols didn't do themselves many favors by sacking bassist Glen Matlock in favor of public spectacle and heroin poster boy Sid Vicious, especially since it soon became obvious that without Matlock, the Pistols didn't have an especially strong songwriter onboard (or a bassist with a working command of his instrument). The Rich Kids unveiled their debut album, Ghosts of Princes In Towers, in 1978.
