Glen matlock book1/2/2023 Jones said he was “upset” when Lydon's manager scuttled a chance to include “God Save the Queen” in Netflix royal drama “The Crown." “I think there’s a lot of bands who resent each other,” said the musician, who wore a suit, tie and glasses for the court appearance. Jones, who appeared as a witness by video link from Los Angeles, said there was nothing unusual about acrimony among bandmates. He denied the lawyer’s suggestion that he resented the prominence and profile of Lydon, the best-known member of the Sex Pistols.Īsked if he dislikes Lydon, Jones said: “I guess so, yes.” He said the two had not spoken since 2008, the year of the band's last reunion tour. “There’s a lot of praise in the book as well,” Jones said. At a hearing on Friday, Lydon’s lawyer, Mark Cunningham, took Jones through extracts from the guitarist's book, including a passage describing Lydon as an “annoying little brat.” The fractious relationship among the bandmates is at issue in the case. He contends that music licenses can’t be granted without his consent, but Jones and Cook say licensing requests can be decided by a majority of band members. Lydon has slammed the Disney-backed “Pistol” as “disrespectful” and is refusing to grant permission for the songs to be included. Testifying in the legal dispute among the bandmates, Jones disclosed that he was stung when Lydon’s manager blocked an offer to use the Sex Pistols’ punk anthem “God Save the Queen” in another series, award-winner “The Crown.”
