What I mean to say is that as a Sex Pistols, his talent was not instrumental skill. Rather, it was fitting the role that was made for him. Obviously, if he didn't, they wouldn't have brought him on.
In essence, the Sex Pistols were not about technical virtuosity. His talent was however supplementing the image, and sound in which they were going for. Didn't say so directly in my rant, but I believe it was implied.
Even if his talent was garnering freak attention and being a scuzzbag, image was EXTREMELY important to the Sex Pistols, moreso than the actual music element they were presenting. Which I guess I can't completely defend but still... he was there for a reason.
Taking in what the Sex Pistols were, and what they needed, he was rather fit for the job.
