Well, G.G Allen was a $hit eating (literally he ate his own $hit) drug addicted pedophile.

These are not opinions, simply facts. His real name was Jesus Christ Allen (also a fact) who apparently grew up with a crazy puritanical abusive father, which most likely produced the above.

Morality aside, musically he came up with some songs with catchy guitar riffs, but the production quality is generally so poor its not worth the bother unless your a shock rock fan.

So no GG for William

I posted this early in the thread, but I reiterate, he's where he belongs.

BTW William, don't forget about blowing his own brother on stage

I can`t presume to have an opinion about G.G.Allin as I`ve never heard a word or note of his obras de arte and am not planning to do so for the moment. However, I was intrigued enough to wiki him, and thought the following ranked as possibly the most extraordinary combination of farce and tragedy I`ve ever read :-

Spoiler for circumstances of G.G.`s death:


According to wikipedia:-
Quote:
GG Allin's last show was on June 27, 1993 at a small club called The Gas Station, a punk venue located inside of a former gas station at 194 E 2nd Street in Manhattan. During the second song, the power went out, after which he trashed the venue, walked across the street entirely naked, and then continued on (now wearing shorts, but still covered in blood and feces) through the neighborhood, followed by a large group of fans.

After walking the streets for almost an hour, Allin eventually went to the apartment of John Handley. There, he and others continued to party and use drugs. Sometime during the evening, Allin ingested large amounts of heroin, on which he accidentally overdosed and slipped into an unconscious state. Those in the apartment posed for photos with Allin around 2:00 am, not realizing that the musician was already in the early stages of respiratory failure. Sometime in the early morning of June 28, Allin died from the effects of his accidental heroin overdose. The next morning, some noticed that Allin still lay motionless in the same place where they had left him and called for an ambulance. Allin was pronounced dead at the scene. He was 36 years old.
If you put those details into a novel or film -about the naked, post-concert stroll and the party-goers posing unknowingly alongside a dying man - you`d be accused of going OTT for dramatic effect, I`m sure.

Posted this in another thread, but it fits here as well...

"With GG, you don't get what you expect—you get what you deserve." - GG Allin

Before he died, I heard a rumor that he was going to shove a stick of dynamite up his ass on the fourth of July and blow himself up.

Imagine my disappointment when I heard he had expired from something as pedestrian as a heroin overdose.

His name was Jesus Christ for a short time. His mother had it changed to Kevin Michael, which was his name for the majority of his life. His stage name is the only thing that was a reminder of his birth name, which was given because of his brothers pronunciation of Jesus at a young age, he would say it Gee Gee. The birth name was given because his father claimed he was visited by God in a dream, who told him that his son was to be the next messiah.

Anyhow not a fan, I'll stick with the Dayglos for my cheap thrills.
