      I swear to god this is a coincidence. I was looking up these bands because I was in the mood for something new, and you just happened to have commented on both of them. I have to ask you though, what do you honestly think of GG Allin?... Unless you are him.

      ***** Even though he was a huge asshole, he was the special one-of-a-kind asshole who had no desire become a politician or some shit. He just wanted to fuck shit up and he was very good at doing the shit (and throwing it) that even the most extreme shock rockers would not do. I would have loved to see what he would have done had he not died so soon.

    • @bulletbelt97
      @bulletbelt97 9 лет назад +7

      To be honest, if he hadn't have died when he did he would have just ended up dying some other way. It'd impossible for him to be alive today.

    Around the turn of the decade, A music scene began to raise it's ugly head into the world.
    A scene heavily influenced by bands such as THE LOCUST and MELT BANANA.
    When asked, the pioneering bands of Neo-trash, state that, if Neo-trash truly is a genre then The Locust was truly the first.
    They looked to create a music scene outside of the norm. The small secretive group called this scene NEOTRASH, The style of audio graffiti. It all started with a band called“The Ghost Computer!!”. That band spawned, probably the most influential Neotrash band in the scene “This Killed Jonbenet”. From 2004 to 2012 this scene grew like a virus along the east coast of it’s home in Australia. Staying subterranean and only letting a few into the circle.
    Over those years the scene developed into a underground political movement, consisting of political hackavists, crazy people and enlightened lovers of experimental music.
    Some called themselves a family, others called themselves and army.
    With politically driven lyrics, fired at you through polyp inducing screams and a chaotic haze of over distorted guitars. swarmed by crazy cybernetics and muscle melting drums...I think this maybe for you.
    In 2012 the founding band “The Ghost Computer!!” broke up and the scene seemed to fall apart...I’m doing my best to revive this scene I love. Keeping things a secret to keep posers out doesn’t work. Help me get bands like these back in the world.

    How does he get his guitar to be so high pitched. I've heard lots of noise guitarists hitting these unbelievably high notes and I wanna figure out how for my own projects.
