GG Allin Thread -

[SwedishElliotRodger]

Hello

Thought i would start a thread about this great man. Truly a man who did'nt give a fuck about anything. A true misanthrope. Any fans around here? Favourite songs?

 

[WEEDle]

Haha yeah... He could basically be a lolcow. Don't much care for his music (it's pretty bland and generic) but his stage antics and persona are certainly worth awe. Although you could have done a better job starting this thread. Not everyone knows that this guy loved to perform naked with his lil todger hanging out whilst defecating and throwing his feces at the audience members whilst trying to assault any women in sight.

 

[Some JERK]

"Expose Yourself to Kids" Is a pretty catchy tune. I mean yeah, it has wholly repugnant lyrics attached to it, but that was the goal if I remember correctly. That particular time and genre of music was interesting. They could have easily called themselves "The 'Upset Your Parents For Ignoring You'-band"

 

[LulzKiller]

The funniest thing about GG Allin is that he actually had a pretty decent voice and just decided to fuck it up by doing shit his way. Gimme Some Head is a good example of early GG:

A good rule of thumb for anybody who goes to punk shows, if you see a guy in a GG Allin t-shirt that person is an asshole and will karate mosh a girl in the face because he thinks it's "badass". Nobody likes that guy. Don't be that guy. Also GG Allin sucks and only tryhard edgelords listen to him.

Classic GG Allin.

Yeah, you're right. Its quite easy to judge a person based on his band tee. Im serious, just a look at the band logo, we can tell if the person is an asshole or not. Or if he is only a kid trying too hard.

Indisputably his best song:

GG was truly a god amoung men.

my dad got to see GG live during the early 90s. he was curious if his shows would be as crazy as he's heard and he got it, the show lasted 10 minutes, GG got naked, cut himself and attacked the audience. he said he found amusing how half the audience were running for the door as soon as GG did his thing as if they had no idea what they were going to get.

Allin's music was pretty good when he wasn't trying to be the edgiest fuck possible which unfortunately only consists of his early work with the Jabbers and his acoustic country songs

this song's still pretty edgy but the stripped down instrumentation makes the lyrics actually effective imo

 

[Gordon Cole]

There's a guy who sometimes comes to my school to sell vinyl. One of the things he constantly tries to hawk is a bootleg of the time GG played here back in the 80s. I don't think he's ever gotten any takers.

I really don't have a point to this story, so here's a Whitest Kids U' Know skit about GG:

 

[Julias_Seizure]

Not really a fan of his music but he takes shit so far over the top its kinda hard not to like him, like hes a major asshole but hes got some serious balls

 

[Stranger Neighbors]

I was a fan of his music when I was a super edgy Tard who didn't know how to think for myself. He is a lolcow almost of the highest order... He believed genuinely that he was going to change the world by peeing in front of people and attacking his fans... Then he died of a heroin overdose like a reetard.

Also was pen pals with John Wayne Gacy while he was on deathrow...

All of those things aside he was a great show

 

[The Big Vivs]

I wish I could throw shit at people and be idolized for it.

Nobody has linked the outstanding GG Allin documentary, Hated?

Regardless of what you think of GG, this is a perfect documentary. You pretty much get a complete sense of what GG was all about, and you are left to interpret it your own way. Here, let me do the honor:

A great little film, which was the first film by director Todd Phillips, who directed Borat and Joker.

Also, I will nominate GG as perhaps having the most colorful last day alive in history (so NSFW, don't even watch it in a room with a mirror) Very compelling, don't miss the riot after the show collapses:

There is more footage from this day out there, but not on YouTube.

Well you'll have to be able to shove a microphone up your ass

I posted it in the supporters board. I just worry that lurkers might flag it down due to "violating YouTube's guidelines"

Agreed though the documentary is absolutely fantastic

As much as I hate punk music and the punk subculture, I will begrudgingly admit that there were only two good things that came out of the punk scene.

One was Goth and the other was GG Allin.

Seriously, GG Allin was the kind of guy who was simultaneously one of the world's best trolls and one of the world's biggest lolcows and guys like that are once in a generation at best.

GG Allin was to music what the Marquis De Sade was to literature. He was a fucked-up sicko of the highest order, but he knew it and embraced it because he just did not give a fuck. So, I'll give GG some props for sheer audacity.

 

[EveyDwyer]

Recently found out about this guy from Count Dankula's excellent series Absolute Mad Lads. Kind of feel like he'd be more appreciated today. When you're done with this one go watch the one about Mark "Chopper" Reid.

 

[HollaGemini]

Here is a documentary some guy did in collage, its actually really good, but not funny like Dankulas video but it was made in 2014.
I often wonder how people would react to GG Allin nowadays.

Spoiler: YouTube Description

"A Short Documentary I made on the infamous GG AlLLIN back when I was in college. Took almost 3 years to produce due to funds (being students and from Toronto, ON Canada), crew dropping out (due to subject matter the more they got involved), Professors (that fought me and didn't see the vision), or just problems all together. Overall my vision from late 2005 beat the odds and my crew that was dedicated as I was, won Best Documentary presented by CTV Canada at the Sherdian MA Awards 2008. I have over the last couple of years wanted to expand it to a full length documentary, with the proper funds and Merle Allin on board. I know, we can finally pull off the ultimate GG Allin documentary! It could happen. But I will let the people decide based on the example student documentary. LIVE FAST DIE: GG ALLIN is still the king of the rock and roll underground."

I used to go to all the Boston scene shows back in the day and I remember GG getting attacked and chased out of one by skinheads for doing this exact type of shit. Also, his habit of whipping his dick out in public even when he wasn't on stage, and just an audience member, probably had something to do with it too I imagine. He was friendly though, he would invite all the teens he met to parties after the shows :^)
