50 years of the Sex Pistols and Halloween-infused rock...

Shaun embraces the darker side of rock for Halloween plus bassist Glen Matlock is on the Rock God, to mark 50 years since the stage debut of The Sex Pistols.

In early November 1975, an student by the name of Glen Matlock arranged a gig for his band at his college.
The performance in the common room at the London Central Saint Martin School of Art was the debut of the Sex Pistols and would change British music history forever.

Shaun might be airing a few Halloween-infused tunes on the show tonight, but he's also got Glen's own choice of Rock God on the show, to celebrate that half century of punk as we know it!
