Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Dennis Morris ended up taking the first official shots of the Sex Pistols, at the personal request of Johnny rotten. They were both 18. The results of these, and subsequent sessions, are lavishly produced in their black-and-white glory in Destroy, picturing the most charismatic band of all time at their wild-eyed, royalty-baiting, chaos-inducing best.-Bizarre

"Destroyis a photographic account of the 12 months leading up to the group's burn-out, freeze-framing each shell-shocked band member. The minutiae is irresistible: timely Gang of Four graffiti on a toilet wall, Vivienne Westwood already old enough to know better; a young Richard Branson looking like a displaced member of The Eagles. It's appeal should reach beyond the nostalgists to those eager to discover more about a watershed year in popular music."-Q
