Allin- is perhaps best known for his notorious live performances which typically featured transgressive acts such as defecating and urinating onstage and often consuming excrement,performing Naked,committing self injury and attacking audience members(!). Although more notorious for his stage antics than his music(?), he recorded prolifically not only in the punk rock scene but also spoken word,country grunge and more traditional style rock. His extremely politically incorrect lyrics which often covered subjects such as misogyny,pedophilia, and ??? polarised listeners and created varied opinions of him within the highly politicized punk community. Though he had a devoted cult following,G.G. Allin's music was often poorly recorded and received mostly negative reviews from critics. However,his status as a cult figure is such that a number of established artists have covered his songs;among these are... Faith No More,CKY,the 69eyes,Maryslim,Beck,Bus Station,Loonies,the LemonHeads,No Age,the Splits and The Dum Dum Girls. *EARLY LIFE- G.G. Allin was born Jesus Christ Allin. He was given this messianic name by his fanatical christian father who told his wife that christ himself had visited him and told him that his new born son would be a great and all powerfull man in the vein of the messiah. His older brother,Merle Colby jr. couldn't pronounce his name 'jesus' properly and kept calling him "jeje" which later became "G.G". The family lived in a log cabin with no water or electricity in Northern New Hempshire. G.G. Allin's father forbade all conversation after dark, and was a religious fanatic and anti-social. In 1961,she divorced him as his mental instability was worsening. Arleta then changed her younger son's legal name to Kevin Michael Allin on March 2nd 1962 during his first year of schooling. *EARLY MUSIC RECORDING- G.G. Allin's earliest musical endevours were as a drummer. He had a pendiant for theatrics earlier on. While perfoming with his band at a high school prom,he pulled the curtains and decorations evoking approval from the crowd. Allin graduated from high school in 1975 and shortly after... formed the band Malpractice with several high school friends and his older brother,Merle. He was the drummer for Malpractice until the band separated in 1977. He then became the drummer for another band... Stripsearch,writing and performing the songs "Galileo" & "Jesus in New York" He also performed as frontman for The Jabbers from September 1977 to April 1984 in which Allin played drums and performed vocals. G.G. Allin's debut album was "always was,is&always will be". Tension within The Jabbers mounted as he grew uncontrollable, uncompromising and vicious. The Jabbers disbanded and parted ways. G.G Allin's intense drug-use started during this period. G.G. Allin fronted a lot of crews and many acts during the early to mid 1980's. This includes albums from The Cedar Street Sluts,The Scumfucs in 1982 and the Texas Nazis in 1985. He remained in the Hardcore Underground performing in and around Manchanster,NY, with the Cedar Street Sluts which earned him tie title... "the madman of Manchaster" G.G. Allin gained wider attension with the ReachOut International Records(ROIR) cassette-only release of..."Hated in the Nation"(1987) containing tracks from some of his out of print catalogue. The tape also featured several in-studio and in-concert recordings with an all-star band assembly by producer Maximum Rock n Rock and early G.G. Allin patron Mykel Board. This band featured Mascis of Dinasaur jr. on lead guitar and BongWater record producer/musician- Mark Kramer on bass. Tracy Denault was a teenage girl from Texas whom G.G. Allin began seeing after Sandra Farrow divorced him. Their daughter Nico was born March 13th 1986. Nico chose to distance herself from her family. G.G. Allin and Tracey Denault never got married. *Mid Era:_(...and more extreme live performances)- By mid to late 1980? G.G. Allin was addicted to heroin and alchohol and generally abused any intoxicants provided to him,sometimes taking pills without even asking what pills they were. His hygene was atrocious and he rarely bathed.(!) ???

G.G. ALLIN,(PART2:MUD!)

(gg allin getting Head on stage!!!).
By mid to late 80's...at this point G.G. Allin began eating laxatives before performances as defecation was becoming a regular stage act. G.G. Allin described himself as "the last Rock n Rolla" by this,he meant that rock n roll music itself had started as an embodiment of danger,anti-authoritarianism,and rebelliousness but had become largely taken over by corporations and business concerns. G.G. Allin's music and perfomances were thus meant to return to what he saw as its roots,reclaiming it from the corporate system. During this time he collaborated with Bulge also known as...'psycho' under a different psuedo-name on the album(s):_ (FREAKS,faggots, DRUNKS and junkies), The A.I.D.S BRIGADE(the 7" E.P- Expose yourself to kids) and The Holymen(...you give love a bad name). G.G. Allin began performing spoken word pieces.(video footage of these is available but Rare!). Unwilling to seek steady employment,G.G. Allin supported himself by selling his own records. He was also fascinated with serial killers. He wrote to and sometimes visited John Wayne Gacy in prison a number of times and Gacy painted a portrait of G.G. Allin,which became the album cover to the soundtrack of the film documentary-HATED: G.G. ALLIN&the murder junkies. When asked about G.G. Allin,Gacy said:"G.G.,great kid,love 'em to death but if he doesn't stink  like the worst pissy ass wino" Another attraction to G.G. Allin performances was his cardinal threats of suicide. In 1988,he wrote to Maximum RocknRoll stating he would commit suicide on Halloween 1989. However,he was in jail when that day came. He continued his threats every year but ended up imprisoned each following Halloween. When asked about it,he always stated:"with G.G. you don't always get what you expect-you get what you deserve!" He also said suicide should only be done when one had reached his peak meeting his afterlife at his strongest point and not at his weakest. *1989:(trial&imprisonment)- In 1989,G.G. Allin was charged with rape and torture of a female acquaintance in Ana Arbor,Michigan. Earlier in the year,he had been signed by Enigma Records(Enigma had a distribution with EMI/Capitol at the time and for all intents and purposes a major label). In a psychological evaluation made as part of the trial,it was asserted that he did have behaviours consistent with masochism and narcissism and displayed symptoms of borderline personality disorder and bipolar. G.G. Allin initially denied the charges,claiming the woman was a willing participant in sexual activities with him. According to Allin,he cut her,burned her,drank her blood and she did the same thing to him. He also claimed in consistancies in the woman's statements to authorities supported his assertions and the judge in the case agreed there were substantial in the woman's account of the story. Ultimately,however, Allin plea bargained to reduced felony assault charges and was imprisoned from December 20th,1989-March26th,1991. It was during this time that he began to feel re-energized about his life and "mission" as he put it. He wrote and published the G.G. ALLIN Manifesto(1990) during this period. *HATED: (documentary)- After his release from prison,he skipped parole to go on another tour,footage of which made it into Todd Phillip's documentary Hated:G.G. Allin&the murder junkies. The film came out in 1994 and was released on DVD in 1997. During the 90's G.G. Allin recorded his Murder Junkies album released by New Rose Records featuring band...AntiSeen. This album contained ten musical tracks and ten spoken word pieces. It was also during this period that he recorded and released 'the war in my head: (i'm your enemy) on Awarness Records featuring the band- Shrinkwrap. This recording constists of one 45 minute long track,which is a collage of spoken word pieces that Shinkwrap put to music.

G.G. Allin,(part3:BLOOD!)

*Death&Funeral- G.G. Allin died of an accidental heroin overdose in Manhattan on June 28th,1993 in the apartment of John Handley Hurt and Dwanna Yount,three days after attending the premier of the documentary,Hated. He was found lying in an acquaintance's apartment on the morning of the 29th but had actually died the previous night. He was 36 years old(!). His last show was at the 'Gas Station' -a small club located across the street from Hurt and Yount's apartment. During the show's 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 shit!), through the neighborhood followed by a large group of fans. *Beliefs- G.g. Allin an extreme individualist and anti-authoritarian promoting lawlessness and violence against cops in many of his lyrics and essay was intended to summarize his personal philosophy. He once stated that "...his body is the temple of rocknroll and his flesh,blood and bodily fluids are a communion to the people" Another reason he gave for his antics on stage was that he wanted to draw a parable between his actions and "a society that's going crazy with violence" also that if he didn't do what his was doing he would probably be a serial killer and mass murderer.
