Triggers

A Life in Music

By: Glen Matlock

Narrated by: Glen Matlock

A Waterstones Book of the Year

A fascinating new book charting the life and career of Sex Pistols legend Glen Matlock through the lens of his most formative songs - from the ones that influenced him as a child to the ones he wrote and played on as a star.

Sharing insider tales of the Sex Pistols' earliest gigs and stormiest reunions, as well as their most idiosyncratic inter-band dynamics, Triggers offers a vivid insight into the ultimate icons of punk. Yet, having performed and recorded with so many musical luminaries over the decades, Glen also reflects on his time with the likes of Iggy Pop, David Bowie, the Faces, Blondie, Primal Scream and many more.

This is the story of an outspoken, uncompromising man and remarkable, game-changing musician.

Critic reviews

'Glen Matlock - singer, songwriter, bassist, natural storyteller and a damn fine bloke. It is no surprise Triggers is a brilliant journey' DEBBIE HARRY

'A page turner filled with colourful, illuminating tales' MOJO

'The clearest view yet of punk' LOUDER THAN WAR

The understated genius

What a great story and narration was great by the man himself. Always been a huge fan of the pistols but I’ve felt Glens story was always edited unfairly and never fully told. This is a story of a very unique and underrated artist, book is brilliant from beginning to end … loved hearing your story Glen, cheers
