The whole thing was set up to fail. The idea of bringing a punk band to the deep south in the 70s is utter stupidity.

Vicious was a pain in the ass. He even wasn't a bass player, it was there just because of his Punk look and insane behavior. They shouldn't never had let Glen Matlock went over. It was a real musician.

Worth noting that the Sex Pistols replacement for the Saturday Night Live broadcast was Elvis Costello and The Attractions, which gave us the infamous “Radio Radio” incident and Elvis’ ban from performing on SNL for fifteen years after the fact. Their drummer can be seen wearing a shirt that said “THANKS MALC” as a reference to his not getting the band’s visas on time.

Also outrageous is Sid being called a bass player.

They were intentionally trying to be outrageous. But they came accross as douchebags.

The crazy thing is that even after all this happened, Steve Jones became a junkie as well and sold all of his stuff to maintain his habit.

I absolutely love this guys breakdown of music events from the past. They are well researched and put together extremely well. That said his taste in music is right up my alley and I have yet to see him do one on a lame or shit band since I’ve been subscribed to him.

I have friends who saw the Pistols in Dallas. Chaos is the word, they still talk about it today.
