His set was supposed to be backed by both Squirrel Bait and Volcano Suns guys, but his behavior during the soundcheck pretty much nixed that idea. I believe he took a shit during the soundcheck
immense irl lol

Nah, not me. Adult humans that get shit on me on purpose might have a tendency to bleed and stop living. I've had Iggy Pop stage-dive sweat on me before, and the singer from Anti-seen bled on me once, but I draw the line at poop. Sorry.

This Chicago showstopper?
Didn't the Geeg arrive on the greyhound brandishing a half empty bottle of scotch and a grubby miniature dildo in a brown paper bag? Said dildo being quadruple the size of the Geeg tail?

One of my nephew's friends had him hiding out at his house in Tampa, and he offered to introduce me to him. I chickened out. I regret this quite a bit.

via the chicago show...noone, not us, or bait was supposed to "back" him...have no idea where any of that came from...noone ever would have been agreed to soemthing so silly...the guy got off a greyhound with, I still remember, his buddy....bloody f. mess...who was up front during his bananarama thing singing to a cassette...BF mess taking pics with some tiny kodak tourist camera like he was at disneyworld and getting an up close of some fucked up goofy...

just in case there was a demand for an acoustic cover of "I Kill Everything I Fuck"
― bug holocaust (sleeve), Thursday, 29 April 2010 22:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Wow.
The Volcano Suns were a great band, I have a load of their records.
I actually like a lot of GG Allin songs but I think I'd have a harder time liking them if he wasn't dead, if that makes any sense.

^^^^^GREATEST POST IN ILX HISTORY
― Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 29 April 2010 23:12 (thirteen years ago) link
The wikipedia article needs amending here However, his status as a cult figure is such that a number of bands have covered his songs. Among them, Faith No More has covered "I Wanna Fuck Myself", CKY has covered "Bite it You Scum", the 69 Eyes have covered "Gimme Some Head," Beck has covered "Tough Fucking Shit", and The Lemonheads have covered "Layin' Up With Linda". to add Joseph Cotton.
― Willing Travelbury (S-), Friday, 30 April 2010 05:55 (thirteen years ago) link
x-post - ha yes, that is awesome
I used to know the director who made Hated and at one point thought it was the greatest thing because he was just so fucking ridiculous but haven't watched it in years. I don't think I would have gone to see Allin irl if you had paid me though.
― Aqua Backrat (ENBB), Friday, 30 April 2010 08:22 (thirteen years ago) link
the 69 Eyes have covered "Gimme Some Head,"
this is one of the saddest songs in history, by the way - there's a poignancy to it because it predates GG actually figuring out what's shocking - it sounds like it was written by a guy who's really never done much but suspects there's a whole really transgressive world out there, but the most transgressive thing he can really think of is some head. Hey ,now , girls, I want lip-service/I don't wear a uniform and I'm not in the service/I've been in all day never seein' the sun/but when the sun goes down to the night I come/girls ,girls ,girls ,girls/gimme ,gimme ,gimme some head/I like the nasty things that you do to me in bed. Yes, GG. The incredibly nasty things as for example this really common sex practice that everybody does. I am excited to hear that you don't leave the house til after the sun goes down though! Incredible! Do the authorities know about this?
Really, that this song begins "Hey now, girls," is the sort of thing that, on the wrong day on a big enough sleep deficit, will make me cry for several hours

say what you want about GG musically, but "gimme some head" is one damn catchy tune
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Friday, 30 April 2010 15:06 (thirteen years ago) link
all the early stuff I've heard with the Jabbers is great. some of my favourite punk tunes.
― gnarly sceptre, Friday, 30 April 2010 15:43 (thirteen years ago) link
also, even the pre-Jabbers material. are Love Tunnel, Lover's Triangle and 1980's Rock n Roll pre-Jabbers? those tracks are almost unrecognisable from later stuff.

The Scumfucs era is pretty good too IMO, after that it all goes to shit lol see what I did there

Anyone know where we can find dave q's awesome post about that SF show, referenced way up top? I remember being very entertained by that, I think it was on another thread.
― Mark, Saturday, 1 May 2010 01:59 (thirteen years ago) link
As a followup local postscript...he is buried over in Littleton N.H. right on Vermont border...I think that is the name of the town tho I could be wrong...one of the little local papers runs a story every six months or so about "fans" of his doing odd things at his grave...leaving odd shit around, bothering the other graves ect ect...
personally, I never minded the guy...I just thought he was most likely a schizophrenic...common enough problem really...

all goes to shit lol see what I did there
Yes I did see, Colonel Poo...

Inspired by this thread, just watched "Hated." His pee-pee was tiny.
― thirdalternative, Thursday, 6 January 2011 02:33 (thirteen years ago) link
I mean, I've seen newborns with bigger pee-pees. I think this may have been the source of G.G.'s rage.

Tell that to John Holmes. All the piss, shit and blood in Hated and everyone just remembers GG's mini-dick. What a legacy.
― Satantango! (Matt #2), Thursday, 6 January 2011 21:36 (thirteen years ago) link
also there seem to be stories about him cutting off the tip, though I'm sure you'd be able to tell from pics whether that is true.
another thing: if he was so pissed about that, why would he make sure everyone knew about it?

I'm joking, kids.
I thought it was a good doc but the director's comment at the end, something along the lines, "I'd hoped GG Allin would have died in a more spectacular fashion, on stage suicide taking five fans with him, instead he died like a typical rock star" was enraging. What a FUCKING STUPID thing to say. Yeah, it would have been so much better if he'd taken five people with him. What a load.

The 50-minute bonus footage was incredible, especially the very clean cut guy in a sort of raincoat who kept following GG around and sticking his fingers up GG's shitty asshole.
