Please Kill Me

The Uncensored Oral History of Punk

About this book

The twentieth anniversary edition of the "utterly and shamelessly sensational" history of punk music—featuring new photos and an afterword by the authors ( Newsday).
A contemporary classic, Please Kill Me is the definitive oral history of the most nihilistic of all pop movements. Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Richard Hell, the Ramones, and scores of other punk figures lend their voices to this decisive account of that explosive era.
Editors Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain—two of punk music's greatest chroniclers—follow the movement from its roots in the 1960s underground of New York City, to its arrival in the UK with bands like The Sex Pistols and The Clash, to its unlikely emergence as a global cultural force whose impact is still felt today.
