Thanks also to biff, JHwang, Gene, Zioum Zioum and Professor Dungpie for chiming in!
By 1977 The Sex Pistols had cursed on live TV, puked in airports, been signed and then unsigned by several record companies and were the living, breathing symbols of punk rock. Promoters were afraid to book the band for fears riots would break out at the shows. So the band booked shows with the name, The Spots. Word soon leaked out to the fans and the shows were soon sold out. Here’s what guitarist Steve Jones said of these gigs (from the book, “The Sex Pistols Inside Story” -by Fred & Judy Vermorel):
"That tour was real good, there were a lot of fans queuing up around the block, and they went nuts when we played. It was like how it should have been, a band playing to an audience which dug you. This was playing to fans who wanted to come and see us."
Congratulations again to Joey D and we’ll see you next week on...SQUEAL OF FORTUNE!
