The Sidemen - From The Beginning
The Sidemen started from Grand Theft Auto. It was Simon, Josh (ZerkaaHD), JJ (KSI), Ethan (Behzinga) and Tobi (TBJZL) all playing GTA and they all were like, 'why are we not recording this?'. Simon knew JJ from school, Tobi knew Josh form school, on Josh's birthday he went into Ethan's stream then started talking to him and invited him to a Skype call. The group of five started playing GTA together, along the way Vik (Vikkstar123) joined in one of the GTA sessions and just stuck around. Then later on Harry (Wroetoshaw) joined and that was the seven guys. The name of the Sidemen was thought of by Ethan, he was calling it the Ultimate Sidemen at first. But when the were finalizing the idea they decided to take out the Ultimate and just have it as the Sidemen.
