[edit] one question
on the kill bill vol. 2 ost is a song "about her" from malcolm mclaren. it sounds more like electronic than like sex-pistols-style. so, what kind of music did he do now? -wib
He isn't necessarily connected to Punk Rock. He sorta shifts with music trends. In the 1970s he was with the Sex Pistols and was one of the big figures in punk, in the 1980s he shifted to Adam-Ant-type music and today as shown on his PARIS album, he has gone in a more electronic and slow love-rock type direction. Someone correct me if im wrong. -CunningLinguist 02:24, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Speaking about "about her", Mclaren is being accused of plagiarism by a French musician who pretends to be the composer of the musical arrangement of the song. More here... http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20050908/en_afp/afplifestylefrancebritainusjustice_050908164728
[edit] Scottish background
Does he have any Scottish family background?--MacRusgail 19:27, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Malcolm McLaren is Jewish and was raised in a Sephardic Jewish family. [1]
As that article states, his natural father (who he had no contact with) was called Peter McLaren, and his mother and stepfather were both Jewish. Presumably Peter McLaren has some Scottish ancestry.
[edit] Work to do
The article needs a hell of a lot done on it, plus it needs some expansion. The post-Pistols era especially needs really beefing out if anyone feels up to itLogan1138 17:51, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Other bits
I just added that "The Bell Song" stuff. Info can be verified at http://www.discogs.com/artist/Malcolm+McLaren
Also, has anyone ever identified all the classical pieces of music he sampled in 'Waltz Darling'. I recognise a lot of them, but don't know what they are. If anyone could help, it would be fantastic. : ) Twinstar 21:59, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Why does it say 9 months and 2 days after VE day? UIs this taken from his biography? It's pure crap, obviously meant to relate to his anti-monarchy stance and has no place in an encyclopedia entry.
