Remembering gg allin

It's hard to believe, but it's been almost 30 years now since we lost gg.

God bless him. But today he would have been taken seriously. Thank God he’s dead and not on social media.

I think I read in some article about him somewhere that he did state he had some same-sex experiences. But who would want to? He seemed filthy and disgusting.

He was, R4. Inside and out.

GG Allin was a showman. If you fools didn't take him seriously he would have been nothing. He's sorta like Jerry Springer. It's all an act.

Did he rape any 14-year-old boys on stage? That would have been interesting.

I moved to NYC in 1990 and would sometimes see him walking on Avenue B. He wore a long leather coat in the warm weather. I missed my one chance to see him “perform” at a place called 2B. My friends went and said it was just as expected. He shit on stage and threw it at the audience. He beat up some girl in the audience until she had a bloody nose. The music was terrible. I was definitely curious to see this insane spectacle. I was sure I’d have another chance, but like a year later he was dead.

by Anonymousreply 7October 31, 2022 3:03 AM

His earlier stuff was actually decent punk.

He definitely gave it up to be more of a “performance artist”. His more famous stuff is live recordings. I don’t think he went into a recording studio after his early stuff. Probably couldn’t afford it.

Veritably insane, and also had a micropenis. He had a very fucked up family—his birthanme was Jesus Christ Allen, if that tells you anything. That said, I give him credit for the dedication he gave to his "art".

Yes. It reads "Eat me". Video exists if you care to look for it. I'm kinda sorry that I did. He is unwashed and looks like he is rotting.

Saw him once. A garbage human being.

The video at OP also features club kids Richie Rich and Michael Alig.

Oh calm down. My point is that he's all talk. He sat there in that vid and advocated child rape. Why was he not in prison?

I'll tell you why. It was all a staged performance and he never raped anybody.

He may not have actually raped anyone onstage, as he claimed, but Allin was definitely not "all talk". He did beat up audience members {they were possibly willing). and he was arrested and incarcerated several times.

I was at one of his last shows in Texas. He threw bottles at the audience. It was insane.

by Anonymousreply 15October 31, 2022 6:00 AM

r14 But you don't rape children, openly brag about it, and then not sit in prison for years. Have any of his alleged underage victims come forward? He was a blowhard.

Sorry, though some of his punk was edgy, the guy was fake. And you can tell that from the strained braggadocio in the vid.

Just as I said. He never raped anyone, let alone children. That was a stage act.

I remember watching some kind of public access cable college lecture about music history, and this extremely square nerdy professor was talking about the significance of GG Allin on the modern pop music scene. What's strange, is that I don't remember disagreeing with him. Outside of being a disgusting POS, he earned his place in rock and roll history. Perhaps he was the true 'end of the line' rock showmen like Elvis, Jerry Lee and Jim Morrison. Haven't seen someone have that same prominence in the modern rock/pop scene.

Having watched that video - which was an extremely interesting time capsule - I dont know if "lost" is the right word. He did do some entertaining music (some of it is in my synchronised swimming playlists along with Anal Cunt and Cattle Decapitation) but he was violently insane and hugely fucked up. He managed to make Michael Alig look like a wonderful charming person by comparison.

The Club Kids in the second half were a lot more to my liking

Those two females on stage in the video are paid shills.

by Anonymousreply 24October 31, 2022 1:26 PM

I saw a video once of what was purported to be his last show (or one of them). He was nude, covered in shit, and stumbling around outside (!!) to the surprise of stunned onlookers. Sometimes he would rub up on them. He kept bellowing, “Where’s Merle?!” (Merle was his brother.). To say it was surreal would be an understatement.

A couple of years ago, I was browsing in a used CD/DVD store in Chicago, and I saw a DVD with his name on it. I don’t know if it was a documentary or concert footage, but there was some guy standing near me who say me pick it up and said, VERY seriously, “He was a great artist!” I returned the DVD to the shelf and made a run for it!

This was similar to my experience-- I saw him in San Antonio. He was completely naked and throwing bottles into the audience. And then he jumped into the audience and started throwing punches. The show ended after fifteen minutes or so, if I recall. I am a woman and I ran for cover behind the bar. I went to other punk shows, but I never saw anything so violent or, to be frank, stupid. What's the point if the show must be closed down after a few minutes?

by Anonymousreply 27October 31, 2022 9:12 PM

He was a mentally ill POS. Most of his "concerts" consisted of him shitting himself, smearing said shit on himself and others, throwing it around, getting naked, and assaulting audience members. in the hopes that they would beat him up.

He was a masochist at heart.

by Anonymousreply 28November 1, 2022 12:37 AM

I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I’m going to anyway because it’s DL, and it’ll make me feel better getting it out.

Years ago, I read a book, maybe “Rock Bottom” by Pamela DeBarres, and it had a chapter on gg in it. It was bad. He was bad. His life was horrific and his funeral was…just beyond disgusting. I couldn’t believe some of the stuff in the book, so I did some more reading on him. And fuck, I swear it gave me ptsd. I’ve seen some really terrible stuff in my life. And I’ve seen everything there is to see that’s dark and gross and whatever on the internet. Nothing I’ve ever seen (real or on the internet) has ever lingered in my brain very long. I’d get upset or grossed out, or sad, and move on.

But for some crazy reason, that guy gave me lingering (MANY MONTHS) of panic attacks, sweating, nausea, anxiety, whenever I thought about him. And to this day, I can’t read anything about him for fear it’ll come back. It’s crazy and bizarre. And would probably make that little bastard happy I suffered, were he still around.

Don't let it fuck with your serenity. GG is gone to that shit filled mosh pit in the sky.

When I was 12, I met a boy who moved into my neighborhood and he showed me his father's porn stash which had crazy weird magazines.

As i flipped through this one magazine there were the images of a BALD rock star, and his band, naked on stage, and he is pissing in the mouth of a woman! And it completely traumatized me! I was so grossed out by the images! These images stayed with me!

Thanks to DL, I now know, after all these decades, who and what I was looking at!!!! I always wondered who those people were!

I'm 52 and still "traumatized" by those images!

GG Allin was mentally disturbed!!!

I didn’t find his antics disturbing. I saw him live once in NYC (didn’t disappoint!) and I’ve heard the music and seen the docs and fanzines and saw him on Geraldo, etc. It was all so over the top it was hard to take seriously. I also perceived all the bragging about the “scary” things he’d done in his life as braggadocio. Some of it was clearly true, but a lot of it seemed exaggerated for his image. People in the underground music and art world at the time were wowed by the spectacle, but treated him as a joke (which he relished). If you have to brag that hard about how extreme you are, it’s very telling.

Dude tried too hard.

by Anonymousreply 53November 2, 2022 7:45 PM

I saw the video which is claimed to be his last performance. Looked like a dive bar with a few patrons in a semi circle watching him do his thing, which included firing a projectile turd on the floor and smearing himself. As I recall the little crowd of onlookers gave him wide berth after that and many turned their backs and walked away.

by Anonymousreply 54November 2, 2022 8:01 PM

I usually do not believe in possession in people. But, if there was such a thing, this poor deluded soul was clearly possessed.

It’s a shame he had an audience and voice in the community.

by Anonymousreply 55November 2, 2022 8:11 PM

How does one projectile shit? I’m sure he’s glad he died relatively young. I watched a fairly recent documentary about the murder junkies currently and they’re mostly fat and old. The drummer was particularly grotesque having audience members stick drumsticks up his ass then selling them.
