Heavy Metal Kids on BBC's Panorama in 1974

HMK were banned from half the music venues in the UK thanks to this programme in 1974...

[@timbunker4529]

Saw them many times, one of the best live bands ever! I'm 67 now never did me any harm.

[@MeTheRob]

I saw them in 75 or 76. I knew I was seeing something special, but at the time I didn't know why. They were ahead of their time. They were punks before Punk.

So true

Singer looks like a version of Izzy Stradlin of GNR

[@dragonfitter]

Izzy straddling would have been a fan of heavy metal kids .

[@paulbackhard6315]

Judging by them all chewing or gurning someone was knocking out speed at that gig 🤣

[@alanm5939]

[@garyholtontribute]
