About this product

Product Information

ATime OutandNew York Daily NewsTop Ten Book of the Year upon its release,Please Kill Mebrings the sound of the punk generation to life. Iggy Pop, Danny Fields, Dee Dee and Joey Ramone, Nico, Patti Smith, and scores of other famous and infamous punk figures lend their voices to this definitive account of that outrageous, explosive era. From its origins in the twilight years of Andy Warhol's New York reign to its last gasps as eighties corporate rock, the phenomenon that was known as punk is scrutinized, eulogized, and idealized by the people who were there and who made it happen.

Please Kill Me (the uncensored oral history of Punk)
PLEASE KILL ME (the uncensored oral history of Punk) by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain I first heard about this book when my girlfriend brought it home from the library. I picked it up after she was done reading it but she had to return it when I was just part way into it. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it! There are so many good stories in there. It'll have you horrified one minute and rolling on the floor laughing the next! It's a book about the early punk rock days before they even called it punk. And tells how it came about to eventually be called punk. It's written as a series of short interviews by the people involved in the scene. The book jumps from subject to subject and you're told about these different events from the many different ...

The book jumps from subject to subject and you're told about these different events from the many different perspectives of the people involved, straight from the horses mouth as they say. It really pulled me in and I found it hard to put it down, which is saying a lot coming from me! I'm one who usually falls asleep within the first paragraph. I can't say anything bad about this book... buy it, you'll be glad you did!
