How Many ILM Posters Ever Saw GG Allin Live?

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.

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

I believe he took a shit during the soundcheck

also lol'd. hadn't realised he was such a perfectionist

Cosign 'aerosmith's' post above.

It's the underlying subtext to "Man in a Shed" by Nick Drake.

CKY has covered "Bite it You Scum"

misread that as CSNY for a second there

say what you want about GG musically, but "gimme some head" is one damn catchy tune

all the early stuff I've heard with the Jabbers is great. some of my favourite punk tunes.

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.

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...

"leaving odd shit around"

as opposed to even.

If GG had been a computer programmer, it would have been bytes of shit.

Seriously one of the best punk songs ever, if you ask me.

I attended, purely to see what was there. It was memorable! Certainly it wasn't for everyone.

Inspired by this thread, just watched "Hated." His pee-pee was tiny.

I mean, I've seen newborns with bigger pee-pees. I think this may have been the source of G.G.'s rage.

i've heard it was because of cocaine use.

Tell that to John Holmes.
All the piss, shit and blood in Hated and everyone just remembers GG's mini-dick. What a legacy.

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.

tbf he did specify "GG Allin fans"

and less people just is less people

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.
