edcyn,
"As much as I loved the Sex Pistols, they were too much of a one trick pony. I still regret, though, that I missed them when they played the Roxy (or was it the Whisky?). I went to buy a ticket. They had already sold out....not the Pistols themselves, though!"
No, they didn’t, not even given the odd butter commercial.
As for them being a one trick pony, I doubt whether they were given any room to develop. Not with crazy media scrum that followed them everywhere this side of the pond.
Nor for the mayhem that later happened on the other side, the infamously notorious US tour of early 78 which broke the band. Details only gradually emerged some time later in our music papers.
For some of us, that sense of losing something we never really understood was strong. All of a sudden things began to return to drab late 70s normality...
