  • S8E2: Paul Cook
    Sep 14 2024

    This week on the podcast, we welcome Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook to the show. Paul is a fabulous raconteur, and he has some incredible stories from a moment in music history when one band and one album created a music genre that changed everything. He chats to Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt about his journey, his influences, and how the Sex Pistols exploded onto the scene. With tales of life on the road with the Pistols, that infamous Grundy TV appearance that was never meant to happen, and how it all came crashing down for the band while on tour in the US, this is a must listen. Plus, Paul talks about the new line up of the band with Frank Carter that has been enjoying some incredible reviews, the upcoming live dates and how there might be more to come from the Sex Pistols.

    We’ll be sure to stick the video with Paul up on our Rockonteurs YouTube channel.
