They were an advert for his business initially after all?<br />Yep,the Pistols were indeed Pub Rock in designer clothing....if it wasn't for the Clothing they would have been nothing more than a more impolite Eddie and the Hot Rods.<br />Roogalator's music has definitely aged better anyway.Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-71486364826018418342016-11-02T12:41:11.749+01:002016-11-02T12:41:11.749+01:00Hi JZ,

Glen Matlock was a big Roogalator fan, and he speaks very well of them in his Teenage Sex Pistol book. <br /><br />An interesting anecdote is that those pub rock monsters, ha ha, borrowed part of their equipment to Roogalator. Because the Pistols had this class A equipment thanks to Steve Jones "the crook"'s activities...<br /><br />Thank you very much for the post. I've read about Roogalator for ages but never heard them until now :D<br /><br />Saludos, <br /><br />Fernando :)Fernandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433825785540743678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-67730286644114498602016-11-02T08:38:50.130+01:002016-11-02T08:38:50.130+01:00I also find it hard to understand how forgotten,an...I also find it hard to understand how forgotten,and unrepresented on record this group is/was.
