Add to that the early death of band member Sid Vicious, by heroin overdose, and you have all the ingredients for a legend.\u003cp\u003eIn January 1978, the Sex Pistols came to the United States for a twelve-day tour, mostly of cities in the Deep South. \u003cem\u003e12 Days on the Road\u003c\/em\u003e is an extraordinary moment-by-moment re-creation of that wild adventure by Noel E.
