Yes, it was Matlock. But he still played on most of the recorded stuff as a session musician. Problem was, he liked the Beatles too much, and din’t get on well with the rest of the band particularly – especially Johnny. Many tricks were played on him too, some of which were a bit too gross to post…lol. He’s still playing though, and has played with the band the two times they have reunited for gigs / tours. They still think he’s a tosser though!
