About the Book



"With new photos and afterword by the authors"--Cover.



Book Synopsis



"Ranks up there with the great rock & roll books of all time."--Time Out New York

"Lurid, insolent, disorderly, funny, sometimes gross, sometimes mean and occasionally touching . . . Resounds with authenticity."--The New York Times

"No volume serves juicier dish on punk's New York birth . . . Tales of sex, drugs and music that will make you wish you'd been there."--Rolling Stone

A contemporary classic, Please Kill Me is the definitive oral history of the most nihilistic of all pop movements. Iggy Pop, Richard Hell, the Ramones, and scores of other punk figures lend their voices to this decisive account of that explosive era. This 20th anniversary edition features new photos and an afterword by the authors.

"Utterly and shamelessly sensational."--Newsday



Review Quotes




"Ranks up there with the great rock & roll books of all time."--Time Out New York

"This book tells it like it was. It is the very first book to do so."--William S. Burroughs

"Does for the Ramones what the disciples did for Jesus."--LA Weekly

"Dishes the crud on everyone . . . candid, inside, and detailed."--New Yorker

"Lurid, insolent, disorderly, funny, sometimes gross, sometimes mean and occasionally touching."--New York Times

"The riotously funny story of New York punk told by those who were there." --Daily News

"A gripping and unfiltered glimpse into the birth and evolution of one of the most nihilistic movements in popular culture . . . With firsthand accounts and insights, this oral history delves into the music, fashion, and attitude that defined punk, offering a raw and authentic perspective on the individuals who shaped this subversive and influential cultural phenomenon."--Kennie M., The Review Geek
