In I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol, Matlock stated that he left the band of his own volition as he was 'sick of all the bullshit'. Another claim, made at the time by Jones, that he thought it bizarre that Matlock was 'always washing his feet', has also been misquoted and misinterpreted as the cause of Matlock's firing from the group.

The claim was fictional, with Steve Huey of AllMusic posthumously claiming that Matlock 'was even more enamored of TheвЂ…Faces and the mod groups prominently featured on London pirate radio in the late '60s, as were Steve Jones and Paul Cook'.

Matlock left the band in late February 1977, with contemporary reports (given to news outlets by manager Malcolm McLaren) stating that he was 'thrown out' because he 'liked theвЂ…Beatles'. Additionally, whilst Jones has insisted that Matlock disliked many of JohnnyвЂ…Rotten's controversial lyrics, Matlock has said that he had no issue with them. According to a 2014 interview, he played a big role in writing the songs that appeared on the album and Cook has stated that Matlock wrote most of the songs appearing on the album. However, his overall contribution to these songs has been disputed: Jones said in a 2011 interview he was 'tired of Matlock's claims that he had co-written some of the punk icon's biggest tunes', stating that he himself had written as many songs as Matlock, whilst Matlock himself notes in his autobiography, I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol, that the band only wrote two songs after his departure. He is credited as co-writer on 10 of the 12 songs appearing on the album NeverвЂ…MindвЂ…theвЂ…Bollocks,вЂ…Here'sвЂ…theвЂ…SexвЂ…Pistols. He was the original bass player of the Sex Pistols, having been introduced to guitarist SteveвЂ…Jones and drummer PaulвЂ…Cook while working in SEX, MalcolmвЂ…McLaren's clothing boutique in London. Matlock attended SaintвЂ…Martin'sвЂ…SchoolвЂ…ofвЂ…Art until 1974. Matlock playing with the Sex Pistols in 1977.
