On their very brief tour of the United States, the Sex Pistols were magnets for abuse. At this show in Dallas, Texas, a female fan gestured to Vicious to lean down for a kiss — and then punched him in the nose, causing it to bleed profusely. Reveling in the gore, Vicious spit blood on her. Then he smashed a beer bottle on his amp, using the shards to slash his chest, tearing open a previous (self-inflicted) arm wound.
