I was Kevin Allin’s counselor for a year while he was in a prison in Michigan (Adrian Temporary Facility; D Unit). Had many talks with him in my office, and although he was guarded and didn’t make much eye contact- at first, anyway- he loosened up enough after a while for me to see the person behind the image, at least to a good degree. Although he had obvious personality and mental issues, Kevin Allin was not very much the same as the stage persona GG Allin, which is how his fans knew him. Although there were some similarities, Kevin was rather quiet, could be found most of the time on his top bunk (in an open dorm-type setting; i.e., no “cells”), presented a somewhat timid persona, and as the corrections officers I supervised agreed, seemed to be intimidated by the black inmates. Pretty much none of the other inmates knew who he was, and he purposely kept it that way. At one point he came up to one of my officers while holding his face, and “snitched out” another inmate who had punched him. When it came down to it, and as evident in his stage shows, he wasn’t actually a real good “fighter.”
At one point when he was nearing parole, I asked him “Kevin, you’re in your mid-thirties now, how long do you think you can keep doing what you do?” He responded that he was working on composing country songs, and seemed to suggest he would go in that direction, although he slid right back into his former persona and “career” immediately after parole. At that point I knew it was a matter of time for some kind of shit to really hit the fan, and it didn’t take long… My take on the guy is this: like so many people, he would have much preferred recognition and fame in the “traditional" rock star way, ala the Stones or maybe the NY Dolls. However, his limited vocal and musical skills (which are evident on “home” videos of him and brother Merle playing acoustic guitars and singing) forced him toward a more “punk” approach, and because even those attempts took him only so far, the music became increasingly irrelevant and “the show” became more about the only “talent” he had that set him apart from every other rocker on the planet- more increasingly bizarre behavior, actions, and words that nobody else would even attempt. Basically, it boiled down to this: at that point, either become GG Allin or fade into obscurity. Although there’s a lot of truth regarding record company weasels, Kevin wasn’t personally really serious about his “role” and “message”- after all, nobody except maybe his most hardcore fans ACTUALLY believed his schtick about “saving rock and roll”, especially by “spilling blood.” And no, we weren’t holding him as a “political prisoner” in order to stop him from this mission (as more than one letter to us from outraged fans claimed.) And yes, Kevin Allin had to have certain personality traits that would allow him to morph into GG when the show was on. But it all was very necessary to the caricature, the image, and wasn't how he would have written his own script. I come from a unique background myself and have known some real characters, so I actually liked the guy, and felt some empathy for him, because in the end, I’m pretty convinced of this- if Merle Allin (Sr.) had not been who he was, there would have been no GG Allin- only Kevin, and who knows, he might have turned out to be a rather sweet guy.
@@danielmenjivar793 A semi-humorous story: In 2016 I planned a three-week road trip for my wife and I through all of New England. At one point heading north out of the White Mountains to go eventually to Stove, VT I saw that it would take us right past Littleton NH, where GG is buried. I said to the wife, why not, and told her how some of his fans that visit leave things and/or do things to his headstone (there’s a video of Merle catching them peeing on it.) When we got there I found it’s not a big cemetery, so we drove up and down the lanes looking for it, but no luck. We then saw three cemetery workers who looked like they were getting ready to call it a day, and I drove up, got out, went up to them and the short conversation went pretty much like this: Me, politely: “Can you tell me where GG Allin’s grave is at?” The leader, who looked at me and gave a one-word reply: “No.” Me, again politely: “Oh… is there a reason you can’t?” Him: “They removed his headstone, because people were doing all kinds of things they weren’t supposed to.” Me: “I see, although I’m not really a fan or anything, I was his counselor when he was in prison.” Him, looking straight at me: “Well apparently you didn’t do a very good job.” Me, laughing pretty good, “Well, I can’t really deny that, can I?” I then said, “I wouldn’t pee or whatever on his grave, I would be respectful.” Him, nodding to one of the workers: “Take him up there.” The guy got in a truck, led us a short way to near the street adjoining the cemetery, and pointed to a bare spot (no grass) next to another headstone. I thanked him, stood there a while, thought a few things about Kevin Allin, and felt a sort of pity that I always had for him. So unless they’ve replaced it in the past five years or so, if you go to the cemetery, don’t plan on dumping drinks on his headstone, and good luck finding his grave.
My GG Allin story, 1991 a kid who delivered pizza for the restaurant I was running told me he was going to see his show and when he comes to work the next day another employee said “you have to say something to Dave” why, I asked “I’m not going to tell you, just come look” he had actual 💩 smeared on his face that GG Allin personally put there and when I said wash it off or you no longer work here he quit rather than clean another persons excrement off his face. He’s a moderately successful real estate agent now and I actually bought a house from him.
@@curtishanlon1781 back in the day? It’s never stopped! Whoever it was who would piss on the front row, Marilyn Manson I think, many hardcore death metal bands typically spit at the audience, I’ve even heard of cum being thrown, actual sex on stage, etc. It’s nothing too far out of the wheelhouse of rock.
@@curtishanlon1781 now who goes to see that? I honestly don’t know. I feel like they hibernate in drug dens and brothels between shows. That’s such a weird thing to even purchase a ticket to in my opinion
I met him when i was 14. He was actually mellow and tried to get me in the show because it was 18 and over. The stage GG was totally different than the social man.
@@fennec1215its really easy to say a bunch of opnionated garbage and walk away on the internet. Go fowards, you people dont know nothing about nothing, just like to feel like you do.
It’s weird to see someone I met as an adolescent at my second Ramones concert at Club Casino in Hampton NH with my friend Mark from high school. He was walking up and down the strip screaming “scum fuck for a buck” selling 45’s. Mark and I were out of money but he traded a record for some costume jewelry we’d bought. He came to visit Mark once and brought him over my house. True to form he was completely normal offstage. I will never forget this guy standing in my parents bedroom doorway. Wearing these ripped shorts with fishnets and no underwear, his junk half hanging out...I remember clearly, him just standing there completely normal meeting my mom already in bed, and him saying in a friendly voice...”hi Mrs. Walsh!” I’ll always remember that even though the end was truly a sad time, from what I heard from mark the funeral was a spectacle too.
Funny thing is, everybody tells me his brother Merle is the sweetest guy you could hope to meet. I asked a guy why he had so many GG live DVDs in his little shop and he said "Merle brings 'em in and he's so nice you just can't tell him no..."
I remember my mom inviting me to a Murder Junkies show in New Orleans during the early 1990s. I was always going to local concerts with her and skipped out on about 20% of them just to chill around the house, reading comic books and watching TV. This was one of those times I decided to not go. Such a bummer. I can only imagine what I missed.
Always felt so bad for this man. He tricked himself into believing he was in some great war against the world..99.99 % of the world never even knew he existed, and he never harmed anyone, except himself. He ruined, the ended his own miserable life for nothing but a delusion.
That's okay. Do you think GG Allen would have enjoyed getting old? What do you think? He felt when he expressed the deepest darkest part of himself with a bunch of sweaty young Pogo dancing, loyal fans. He wasn't meant to live long. Tell us about yourself.
in response to most of the morons “Florida Man” is a meme, google Florida Man and you see so much dumb stories about people who did crimes in FLORIDA that are MALES
No one has or ever will top him in the category of degenerate rock star. No one will ever have the self destructive behavior or aggressive behavior on stage as him. No rock star is going to choose to suffer on that level. He set a real high bar for front men that think their hard.
GG was the personification of punk. He was an actual non-conformist with zero limits, but he also served as a living example of why exactly there needs to be limits.
@@beeatoms ive only heard a few songs a long while back, it was nothing memorable. sounded generic. bland. like background music for a biker scene in some crap movie
I got to meet GG in 1989 (I forget the year exactly) when he and the Disappointments played Wallys Place in Bethlehem, PA. He was a really decent guy. He was a pro, and the gig was great. A truly rocking performance. Metallica was playing up at Stabler Arena that night, so this was a very polarizing evening for the Lehigh Valley scene depending on which concert you would go to that night. I think that the people that chose Metallica that evening will regret it for their entire lives. One thing that disturbed me however about the show was coming into contact with some of his "fans" who stated openly that they were disappointed in the performance because there was no feces, and not nearly enough blood. I realized then, that there were a certain amount of people who fed off GG like parasites for his self destruction, and it disgusted me.
I saw a GG show a few weeks before his death. I talked to him before the show and he seemed fairly normal and polite. As the soon as the music started he turned into a animal. He was throwing shit and he chased about 3/4 of the crowd out of the venue at one point. It was actually scary because one had the sense he could do anything.
"Always Was" is such a great album. It really is a shame that it didn't catch on. As far as punk is concerned, it's every bit as good as Nevermind The Bollocks and Bad Brains's debut in my opinion.
If I owned any of the venues he performed at(I actually live in peoria lol so for example, maybe I can buy his first gig's venue if it's still up and functional) I would splatter brown paint on some portion of the wall, and tack a false frame around it and just pass it off as his shit stain.
@@nignamedmutt7270 GG's notoriety was way more interesting than his music. People showed up for the shit-show and wondered if this gig would be the one where he committed suicide onstage.
wow this was really well made. say what you want about gg but he was one of a kind. I own a lot of his records and to this day can enjoy a lot of what he made. even among the more insane stuff there are good things to be found.
GG Allin was less of a musician and more of a performance artist, if that makes sense. People didn't go to his shows for the music. They went for HIM. They went to see what kind of depraved and fucked up things he was going to do on stage for them in an era that actually preceded other artists that would undoubtedly take inspiration from him, including other "shock rock" acts that came down the line like Marilyn Manson for instance (which looks like the Mickey Mouse Club compared to GG Allin's stuff). People thought Marilyn Manson was the epitome of "intentionally offensive pop culture" but every single time I tell them that's because they never heard of GG Allin, clearly.
He was a fascinating man for sure. I don't know if i would have had the balls to be at one of his concerts, or even liked the guy, but there were times he seemed normal. He looks like a guy that just lost it from a troubled upbringing, but nonetheless he was entertaining, and nobody I see nowadays can compare really.
@@jayb94 I personally am on the fence over whether I would go see any concerts by him if he was somehow still around to have them. If he wasn't in jail or something by then. I do think if he kept going at the pace he was he'd likely have just been banned from most places as his legend grew (nobody wants to clean up after a GG Allin concert I would imagine, all the blood and shit everywhere). It would be a once in a lifetime experience. Assuming you made it out of the venue in one piece lol
@@voteZDLR Yeah exactly I don't think I could pay money to have a guy throw his bloody shit at my face, or try to attack me just for being at the show 😂
People who don't understand basic psychology would say "he didn't care about what people thought.". No man who goes that hard in front of a crowd cares harder about his persona
I think his entire thing was ‘why are you so shocked? Everyone does what I do on stage everyday so why is it shocking? Humans fight all of the time but you fear seeing aggression. Look how you’ve been made to conform and how it’s made you weak!’
@@BlacksmithBets that might have been part of his gig sure. I think a lot of musicians want to change the world with their music...but I remember reading somewhere that the inspiration typically falls short. Take Rage Against the Machine...not sure they've really made much of a difference but then again - how could we gather those stats? Maybe they did?
People who understand psychology are way too quick to just replace one's reality with a diagnosis. Maybe he did want to make a statement to the world through his art, even with the drug-fueled mentally ill reality he had nurtured through his entire life. Psychological analysis itself is not enough to peek at someone's reality. Sigmund Freud used to diagnose women with 'hysteria' because they would feel sudden waves of distress and anxiety. Now, in retrospect, it could very well be that these women were feeling distressed by the fact they were aware of their precarious position in late 19th - early 20th century society.
This guy used to come into the Guitar store I worked at (before my time a bit) and the owner of the store told me despite everything else, he was a brilliant musician.
LMAO! 🤣🤣🤣 That would be an awesome name for a punk band..."The Shit Covered Psychopaths" There was a punk band in my home town back when I was in high school called... "The Vomit Spots"
Odd that i was just watching the Hangover today again and had no idea Todd Phillips was behind this stuff with recording GG Allin lol man he had such an interesting beginning in film making. Don't know alot bout him but i heard of GGs crazy antics alot . Very interesting vid so far
Malpractice and stripsearch are both used by faith no more as track titles. In angeldust & album of the year respectively if recall it well. GG did influence many
I went to Jr. High and High School with GG Allins daughter, Nico. I’ve seen so many crazy things her mom kept of GG, along with her Uncle/GG’s brother, Merle (who played in most of GG’s bands’. Fun fact: Nico looks very much like her father, and while she lives a private life - she is in no way like her dad and lives a very normal life as a mother now.
Eric.....You're lying because I truly do know his daughter. Nothing you said is the truth. I doubt you even live in the Metroplex. I actually got her a job with my company, in the adult film industry. Of course she goes by her "stage name" , but any of you who watch porn will know her because she's one of the top 5 female porn stars in the world.
In the very early 90’s I saw GG at the Antenna Club in Memphis. It was pure chaos. At one point GG pooped on the stage, picked it up and threw it into the audience. The crowd parted like the Red Sea and made a mad dash for the door and the gig was over🤣
@@ChristChickAutistic I caught some good shows at the Antenna when I lived in Memphis. I also found out the Sex Pistols played Memphis back in '78. There used to be a club on Union close to the hospital. Its a Taco Bell now
"We were prisoners to father, and father was a prisoner of himself." I can relate. I think, many people who grew up with a conrolling fahter, can relate.
I mean punk rock was experimental and very diy. We've had Hanatarash bringing chainsaws bulldozers and and Death squad shooting up and holding a loaded gun up to listeners. I'm not surprised at GG. People still piss on this dudes grave, but you know he'd want that.
I heard if death squad before but couldn’t find any info of their batshit crazy antics. Do you have anywhere I can look to find stuff about them? Thanks in advance
I found one of his singles in red vinyl at a record store underneath a shelf and got it for free and I’ve never herd of him until then and I’m a big punk rock guy
I'm not sure if I missed it, or if he didn't mention it, but the name GG came from the fact that when they were young his brother Merle couldn't pronounce his name "Jesus", so he always just called him "JeeJee", So that name stuck.
@@davidarruda8400 Related, the word "Holy" is supposed to mean "Set Apart." ... Well, I can't say that GG's wasn't "set apart" in a specific and ridiculous way, but I'm _not_ considering _that_ level of "set apart" to be Bible levels of Holy. Maybe the word "Holy" also means "Set Apart" in a different way than how I just described Allin's... Excrement. It probably does. Semi-related: The Bible _does_ have a commandment early on, where people in the Exodus (before they got to the land of Israel) couldn't have a "restroom break" in their camp; they'd have to go _outside_ the camp, I guess that was to keep sickness and biohazards far at bay. So yeah, there's no way that GG's actions could be deemed "Holy" at all, except in the negative sense. (I had to say it, just in case.)
I saw them a few times my brother was a hard core fan. After my brother passed away I went to the next show to keep up his tradition of having the same T-shirt autograph every year. So I get to the front of the line and I'm crying like a baby. Well GG gave me a confused look so I told him that Mike had passed a few weeks earlier, he looked at the shirt and he totally remembered my brother. They went up and dedicated the next set to Mike. So I did it! I went into the most intense Pitt ever. It was brutal AF! But I had to do it. I even had my mom at the show. Mom was a badass! 🤘 Oh yeah and fortunately there was no shit involved but they did come out on stage bare ass naked. The looks on my family's faces when we would sneak in a GG tape during a holiday get together. 😂 Live fast die young!! GG's memory will never die!! 🤘💯🎯
I think thats why GG is the greatest punk of all time. He was completely insane but somewhere under it all lived a man. He wasn't some made up fake persona, he was a real human being who was just fucked up beyond recognition.
What a heartwarming story, GG was truly devouted to the people that loved him, and what a way to dedicate an entire set to someone so dear to you. Tho your family's faces during the band's tape played LOL non native speaker so that's all. Hope you're still close to your family, one of the pillars for happyness is to remember with gladness and gratefulness those who perished, less no forget the people still walking on this earth. Wish you a great weekend. Tho I believe your brother's with you, maybe because of my upbringing, anyways, aknowledge his love towards you because I'm sure if you cared so much for him the feeling was reciprocal. Thank you for making many souls have such an experience. Bless
Thats an awesome experience!! Im sorry u lost ur brother, i know the feeling i lost mine 15 yrs ago and we were thick as thieves as they say as he was also the guitar player of all of our metal& punk bands we did since 7yr old kids ( he was about 9 then 😂) but just wanted to say I been a HUGEEEEE GG fan for 25 yrs now at least and im 43 and i think he had some amazing music tht people just write or dont even listen and ge was the most intense true rock n roll artist the world had ever and probably will ever see as he took EVERYTHING to the most insanity driven performances possible. Merle and I been friends at least 20yrs too, I truly believe GG was one of the most misunderstood people in music history and to anybody interested should check the newest film on him and his brother& mother called " The Allins" cause its sooo good!! Cheers fuckas
I saw this maniac live in the early 90’s because some friends said I had to see it. They told me the stories so I was on guard in the show. It was in a dive bar/small club. It was standing room only so we stood against one of the walls to the side. He was pacing back and forth naked across the stage and reminded me of a caged, not in a great mood, big zoo cat. I was standing right underneath a single, bare light bulb that was hanging from the ceiling. I’ve been to a lot of shows so I know how to handle myself. He was drinking beer and throwing the crushed cans around. I knew he could easily see me because I was kind of spotlighted under the bulb. We weren’t that close but close enough. I was waiting for it. I knew it was coming. I didn’t take my eyes off him. The crowd was chanting “ Cut your dick! cut your dick!” Sure enough, winged a crushed can straight at my head. He had targeted me but I was watching his every move. He tried several times to nail me in the face with a can but the closest he got was the first one that hit the concrete wall right above my head. It wasn’t his best show. I’d rather see GWAR any day. People just wanted the self destructive spectacle. I’d rather see a professional band than this tragic guy. I think he was dead within a few short years. So I can say I saw that maniac. Lost soul for sure.
@@krystalriley10, seriously, I’ve seen a stupid ridiculous amount of concerts over the decades. Most big bands numerous times, over and over. It’s basically all I did in the 80’s. I started with a lot of these bands from their first tours on up. Late 70’s to mid 90’s before I slowed down at all. Looking back, I can’t believe I did all that. It was decades and it was much cheaper. I’m a human library of the Rock and Roll lifestyle. I was an extremist. Just to give you an idea, here are ONLY 3 of the bands I saw live. RUSH 18 times, IRON MAIDEN 18 times, QUEENSRYCHE 21 times. That’s just 3. It goes on and on. Stupid ridiculous amount. PANTERA 6 times, AC⚡️DC 6 times, Z Z TOP 6 times, YES 6 times, PINK FLOYD 3 times, JUDAS PREIST 18 times. Still, that’s just a fraction of what I’ve seen.
The first time I heard about this character was on a CBC radio show(I'm Canadian) called Brave New Waves,broadcast from Montreal. The host,Brent Bambury(not sure of the spelling),I'm pretty sure,interviewed Todd Phillips about the Allin documentary. He mentioned a barbecue held for Allin's birthday. Allin was looking for a female to urinate into his mouth. After gorging himself with hot dogs,he found a willing participant. He then got violently sick. Phillips accidentally,he claimed right away,gave the female's name on the air,something he had supposedly promised not to do. Later I read about one of his shit throwing concerts in Milwaukee.
I knew nothing to not much of GG Allin until seeing one of the CKY tapes in high school. Chad I Ginsburgs pilgrimage to piss on GGs grave out of respect blew my mind way back when and once upon a time.
He was a sick individual who cared very much that people noticed him. He grew up without anyone giving him the time of day, so when he grew older and he realized this was a way to get attention he was hooked. As sad as he was, it was all the hangers on that were the saddest, They couldn't get noticed if they tried because they were too timid, but if they could hang on to GG Allin's coat tails then someone might notice them. Those are the people that fed GG's sickness. He thought he was important because these hanger ons wanted to be near him. He thought he had to keep that image going even when he got off the stage. He had to do more heroin than everyone else. That night he accomplished that task and died. Then his hanger ons held one last hang before they burred him and people are still talking about hanging with him, or getting his shit thrown at them just so they can be cool.
@@jhard8789 I'm sorry my dude.. this video and comments must be hurting you so much that you have to comment all over to pple who liked him. Such next level shit of not liking an individual. My condolences to you
@@Krotas_DeityofConflicts only shows how ignorant and and arrogant he is, hopefully some people grow tf up 🤷♂️ I don’t care for the man myself, but it’s interesting and I’m not gonna comment “so sad I couldn’t punch his face till he stopped breathing.” Bro, J Hard, get some help, obviously need it!
I've seen that newsreel footage before, but never noticed before that the onsite reporter is none other that Fox News anchor Shep Smith - that's genuinely hilarious.
The actual heartbreaking thing is sad people with an enslaved mind like you actually confuse "functioning in the supposed way" in this utter shitshow (lol) of a society with living, AND with friggin HEALTH 😂😂
Thank you for watching the second episode of Morbid Musicians, these videos take longer to make so I'll be less consistent over on this channel but I've been posting pretty much every week on the second channel so you can find me over there if you get bored!
I actually opened for him in 1985. I was only 15 at the time too! We didn’t know what to expect as we had only read about his shows in MR&R but it was very early on. It’s completely true that before his performance he was completely nice. He just talked about Iggy Pop a lot and hung out with everyone. The minute he hit the stage though..complete transformation.
The fact that Todd Philips was involved with him speaks volumes. This guy is definitely interesting maybe not as a singer but as a character. He probably used some inspiration from this guy and add it to the Joker 🃏
I remember when I was younger, he preformed in my home town at a place called "Rosie's" there was so much buzz about it. I loved rebellious music, like D.R.I., Leeway, Cromags, Agnostic Front, S.O.D. and many others. And though it was walking distance from my house, I said no, didn't have the balls. I believe Rosie's had no more concerts after GG. As Always Excellent production, Thank you
I can't remember if they played City Gardens. I don't believe they'd be allowed. The feces wouldn't fly with owners and a lot of shows were all ages so shit wouldn't sail well there due to that.
Considering his childhood, his family lived in a log cabin with no running water or electricity in Groveton, New Hampshire. His father was an abusive religious fanatic who threatened his family with death, digging graves in their cellar and threatening to fill them in the near future. In an essay titled "The First Ten Years", Allin wrote that Merle Sr. wanted to kill his family in a murder-suicide. He "despised pleasure" and allowed his family "very little contact with others". They lived a "primitive existence" and "were more like prisoners than a family". Allin also stated that his mother attempted to escape before she filed for divorce, but Merle Sr. thwarted the attempt by kidnapping Allin. What he ended up being was probably the best possible outcome.
And what does society expect eh? You or me would probly have turned out the same or even worse if we'd had the same in childhood. Least he never killed anyone. If you abuse kids, this is what happens when they grow up. Love is all, get that in the membrane people.
I was Kevin Allin’s counselor for a year while he was in a prison in Michigan (Adrian Temporary Facility; D Unit). Had many talks with him in my office, and although he was guarded and didn’t make much eye contact- at first, anyway- he loosened up enough after a while for me to see the person behind the image, at least to a good degree. Although he had obvious personality and mental issues, Kevin Allin was not very much the same as the stage persona GG Allin, which is how his fans knew him.

At one point when he was nearing parole, I asked him “Kevin, you’re in your mid-thirties now, how long do you think you can keep doing what you do?” He responded that he was working on composing country songs, and seemed to suggest he would go in that direction, although he slid right back into his former persona and “career” immediately after parole. At that point I knew it was a matter of time for some kind of shit to really hit the fan, and it didn’t take long…
My take on the guy is this: like so many people, he would have much preferred recognition and fame in the “traditional" rock star way, ala the Stones or maybe the NY Dolls. However, his limited vocal and musical skills (which are evident on “home” videos of him and brother Merle playing acoustic guitars and singing) forced him toward a more “punk” approach, and because even those attempts took him only so far, the music became increasingly irrelevant and “the show” became more about the only “talent” he had that set him apart from every other rocker on the planet- more increasingly bizarre behavior, actions, and words that nobody else would even attempt. Basically, it boiled down to this: at that point, either become GG Allin or fade into obscurity. Although there’s a lot of truth regarding record company weasels, Kevin wasn’t personally really serious about his “role” and “message”- after all, nobody except maybe his most hardcore fans ACTUALLY believed his schtick about “saving rock and roll”, especially by “spilling blood.” And no, we weren’t holding him as a “political prisoner” in order to stop him from this mission (as more than one letter to us from outraged fans claimed.) And yes, Kevin Allin had to have certain personality traits that would allow him to morph into GG when the show was on. But it all was very necessary to the caricature, the image, and wasn't how he would have written his own script.
I come from a unique background myself and have known some real characters, so I actually liked the guy, and felt some empathy for him, because in the end, I’m pretty convinced of this- if Merle Allin (Sr.) had not been who he was, there would have been no GG Allin- only Kevin, and who knows, he might have turned out to be a rather sweet guy.
This is some incredibly interesting stuff Jerry, you should make a video or essay speaking more about GG and your experience with him
So.... he didn't throw crap over you then?
Oh no, he knew better, so no need to be jealous.
Please share more.
@@danielmenjivar793 A semi-humorous story: In 2016 I planned a three-week road trip for my wife and I through all of New England. At one point heading north out of the White Mountains to go eventually to Stove, VT I saw that it would take us right past Littleton NH, where GG is buried. I said to the wife, why not, and told her how some of his fans that visit leave things and/or do things to his headstone (there’s a video of Merle catching them peeing on it.) When we got there I found it’s not a big cemetery, so we drove up and down the lanes looking for it, but no luck. We then saw three cemetery workers who looked like they were getting ready to call it a day, and I drove up, got out, went up to them and the short conversation went pretty much like this: Me, politely: “Can you tell me where GG Allin’s grave is at?” The leader, who looked at me and gave a one-word reply: “No.” Me, again politely: “Oh… is there a reason you can’t?” Him: “They removed his headstone, because people were doing all kinds of things they weren’t supposed to.” Me: “I see, although I’m not really a fan or anything, I was his counselor when he was in prison.” Him, looking straight at me: “Well apparently you didn’t do a very good job.” Me, laughing pretty good, “Well, I can’t really deny that, can I?” I then said, “I wouldn’t pee or whatever on his grave, I would be respectful.” Him, nodding to one of the workers: “Take him up there.” The guy got in a truck, led us a short way to near the street adjoining the cemetery, and pointed to a bare spot (no grass) next to another headstone. I thanked him, stood there a while, thought a few things about Kevin Allin, and felt a sort of pity that I always had for him.
So unless they’ve replaced it in the past five years or so, if you go to the cemetery, don’t plan on dumping drinks on his headstone, and good luck finding his grave.

My GG Allin story, 1991 a kid who delivered pizza for the restaurant I was running told me he was going to see his show and when he comes to work the next day another employee said “you have to say something to Dave” why, I asked “I’m not going to tell you, just come look” he had actual 💩 smeared on his face that GG Allin personally put there and when I said wash it off or you no longer work here he quit rather than clean another persons excrement off his face. He’s a moderately successful real estate agent now and I actually bought a house from him.
lmaoo wow
Wtf 😭

The craziest part isn’t that he shit on stage. It’s that he did it constantly and people kept going to see him.

He was walking up and down the strip screaming “scum fuck for a buck” selling 45’s. Mark and I were out of money but he traded a record for some costume jewelry we’d bought. He came to visit Mark once and brought him over my house. True to form he was completely normal offstage. I will never forget this guy standing in my parents bedroom doorway. Wearing these ripped shorts with fishnets and no underwear, his junk half hanging out...I remember clearly, him just standing there completely normal meeting my mom already in bed, and him saying in a friendly voice...”hi Mrs. Walsh!” I’ll always remember that even though the end was truly a sad time, from what I heard from mark the funeral was a spectacle too.

Thats about the sum total of it.
Too bad GG wasn't even slightly talented to begin with.
I remember my mom inviting me to a Murder Junkies show in New Orleans during the early 1990s. I was always going to local concerts with her and skipped out on about 20% of them just to chill around the house, reading comic books and watching TV. This was one of those times I decided to not go. Such a bummer. I can only imagine what I missed.
Always felt so bad for this man. He tricked himself into believing he was in some great war against the world..99.99 % of the world never even knew he existed, and he never harmed anyone, except himself. He ruined, the ended his own miserable life for nothing but a delusion.

I got to meet GG in 1989 (I forget the year exactly) when he and the Disappointments played Wallys Place in Bethlehem, PA. He was a really decent guy. He was a pro, and the gig was great. A truly rocking performance. Metallica was playing up at Stabler Arena that night, so this was a very polarizing evening for the Lehigh Valley scene depending on which concert you would go to that night. I think that the people that chose Metallica that evening will regret it for their entire lives. One thing that disturbed me however about the show was coming into contact with some of his "fans" who stated openly that they were disappointed in the performance because there was no feces, and not nearly enough blood. I realized then, that there were a certain amount of people who fed off GG like parasites for his self destruction, and it disgusted me.
Great job on this video! His brother, Merle, is touring around with his band r/n.

Truth!
Nah he didn't have the balls. He planned for years to do it and then died of an overdose. Poser.
I saw a GG show a few weeks before his death. I talked to him before the show and he seemed fairly normal and polite. As the soon as the music started he turned into a animal. He was throwing shit and he chased about 3/4 of the crowd out of the venue at one point. It was actually scary because one had the sense he could do anything.

If I owned any of the venues he performed at(I actually live in peoria lol so for example, maybe I can buy his first gig's venue if it's still up and functional) I would splatter brown paint on some portion of the wall, and tack a false frame around it and just pass it off as his shit stain.

GG Allin was less of a musician and more of a performance artist, if that makes sense. People didn't go to his shows for the music. They went for HIM. They went to see what kind of depraved and fucked up things he was going to do on stage for them in an era that actually preceded other artists that would undoubtedly take inspiration from him, including other "shock rock" acts that came down the line like Marilyn Manson for instance (which looks like the Mickey Mouse Club compared to GG Allin's stuff). People thought Marilyn Manson was the epitome of "intentionally offensive pop culture" but every single time I tell them that's because they never heard of GG Allin, clearly.
He was a fascinating man for sure. I don't know if i would have had the balls to be at one of his concerts, or even liked the guy, but there were times he seemed normal. He looks like a guy that just lost it from a troubled upbringing, but nonetheless he was entertaining, and nobody I see nowadays can compare really.
@@jayb94 I personally am on the fence over whether I would go see any concerts by him if he was somehow still around to have them. If he wasn't in jail or something by then. I do think if he kept going at the pace he was he'd likely have just been banned from most places as his legend grew (nobody wants to clean up after a GG Allin concert I would imagine, all the blood and shit everywhere). It would be a once in a lifetime experience. Assuming you made it out of the venue in one piece lol
@@voteZDLR Yeah exactly I don't think I could pay money to have a guy throw his bloody shit at my face, or try to attack me just for being at the show 😂
Idk, GG definitely had BOPS
He wasnt a musician at all
People who don't understand basic psychology would say "he didn't care about what people thought.". No man who goes that hard in front of a crowd cares harder about his persona
I think his entire thing was ‘why are you so shocked? Everyone does what I do on stage everyday so why is it shocking? Humans fight all of the time but you fear seeing aggression. Look how you’ve been made to conform and how it’s made you weak!’
@@BlacksmithBets that might have been part of his gig sure. I think a lot of musicians want to change the world with their music...but I remember reading somewhere that the inspiration typically falls short. Take Rage Against the Machine...not sure they've really made much of a difference but then again - how could we gather those stats? Maybe they did?
People who understand psychology are way too quick to just replace one's reality with a diagnosis. Maybe he did want to make a statement to the world through his art, even with the drug-fueled mentally ill reality he had nurtured through his entire life.
Psychological analysis itself is not enough to peek at someone's reality. Sigmund Freud used to diagnose women with 'hysteria' because they would feel sudden waves of distress and anxiety. Now, in retrospect, it could very well be that these women were feeling distressed by the fact they were aware of their precarious position in late 19th - early 20th century society.
Using edginess and poop in place of actual talent.
Yea, well he should have, or atleast cared about what God thought..
cuz he's in hell now.

Well, I can't say that GG's wasn't "set apart" in a specific and ridiculous way, but I'm _not_ considering _that_ level of "set apart" to be Bible levels of Holy. Maybe the word "Holy" also means "Set Apart" in a different way than how I just described Allin's... Excrement. It probably does.
Semi-related: The Bible _does_ have a commandment early on, where people in the Exodus (before they got to the land of Israel) couldn't have a "restroom break" in their camp; they'd have to go _outside_ the camp, I guess that was to keep sickness and biohazards far at bay. So yeah, there's no way that GG's actions could be deemed "Holy" at all, except in the negative sense. (I had to say it, just in case.)
Partied with them, Antiseen and others a few times. Wild and insane. Had to fight him twice.
@Balthasar Krause thats wild you are clearly very much cooler than me!
I was at the '91 show in Orlando. I've had musicians fling sweat at me, spit on me, and even bleed on me, but when I saw a turd fly by me, I was out!
I saw them a few times my brother was a hard core fan. After my brother passed away I went to the next show to keep up his tradition of having the same T-shirt autograph every year. So I get to the front of the line and I'm crying like a baby. Well GG gave me a confused look so I told him that Mike had passed a few weeks earlier, he looked at the shirt and he totally remembered my brother. They went up and dedicated the next set to Mike. So I did it! I went into the most intense Pitt ever. It was brutal AF! But I had to do it. I even had my mom at the show. Mom was a badass! 🤘 Oh yeah and fortunately there was no shit involved but they did come out on stage bare ass naked. The looks on my family's faces when we would sneak in a GG tape during a holiday get together. 😂 Live fast die young!! GG's memory will never die!! 🤘💯🎯
I think thats why GG is the greatest punk of all time.
He was completely insane but somewhere under it all lived a man. He wasn't some made up fake persona, he was a real human being who was just fucked up beyond recognition.
What a heartwarming story, GG was truly devouted to the people that loved him, and what a way to dedicate an entire set to someone so dear to you. Tho your family's faces during the band's tape played LOL non native speaker so that's all. Hope you're still close to your family, one of the pillars for happyness is to remember with gladness and gratefulness those who perished, less no forget the people still walking on this earth. Wish you a great weekend. Tho I believe your brother's with you, maybe because of my upbringing, anyways, aknowledge his love towards you because I'm sure if you cared so much for him the feeling was reciprocal. Thank you for making many souls have such an experience. Bless
Why would he shit? And why would he throw it on people?
Thats an awesome experience!! Im sorry u lost ur brother, i know the feeling i lost mine 15 yrs ago and we were thick as thieves as they say as he was also the guitar player of all of our metal& punk bands we did since 7yr old kids ( he was about 9 then 😂) but just wanted to say I been a HUGEEEEE GG fan for 25 yrs now at least and im 43 and i think he had some amazing music tht people just write or dont even listen and ge was the most intense true rock n roll artist the world had ever and probably will ever see as he took EVERYTHING to the most insanity driven performances possible. Merle and I been friends at least 20yrs too, I truly believe GG was one of the most misunderstood people in music history and to anybody interested should check the newest film on him and his brother& mother called " The Allins" cause its sooo good!! Cheers fuckas
You are a fan on a 39 year old man who Sand about r'ing high school girls? I guess birds of the same feathers flock together.
I saw this maniac live in the early 90’s because some friends said I had to see it. They told me the stories so I was on guard in the show. It was in a dive bar/small club. It was standing room only so we stood against one of the walls to the side. He was pacing back and forth naked across the stage and reminded me of a caged, not in a great mood, big zoo cat. I was standing right underneath a single, bare light bulb that was hanging from the ceiling. I’ve been to a lot of shows so I know how to handle myself. He was drinking beer and throwing the crushed cans around. I knew he could easily see me because I was kind of spotlighted under the bulb. We weren’t that close but close enough. I was waiting for it. I knew it was coming. I didn’t take my eyes off him. The crowd was chanting “ Cut your dick! cut your dick!” Sure enough, winged a crushed can straight at my head. He had targeted me but I was watching his every move. He tried several times to nail me in the face with a can but the closest he got was the first one that hit the concrete wall right above my head. It wasn’t his best show. I’d rather see GWAR any day. People just wanted the self destructive spectacle.
I’d rather see a professional band than this tragic guy. I think he was dead within a few short years. So I can say I saw that maniac. Lost soul for sure.

The host,Brent Bambury(not sure of the spelling),I'm pretty sure,interviewed Todd Phillips about the Allin documentary. He mentioned a barbecue held for Allin's birthday. Allin was looking for a female to urinate into his mouth. After gorging himself with hot dogs,he found a willing participant. He then got violently sick. Phillips accidentally,he claimed right away,gave the female's name on the air,something he had supposedly promised not to do. Later I read about one of his shit throwing concerts in Milwaukee.
I knew nothing to not much of GG Allin until seeing one of the CKY tapes in high school. Chad I Ginsburgs pilgrimage to piss on GGs grave out of respect blew my mind way back when and once upon a time.
I like this Morbid Musicians series. I recommend looking at the black metal band Mayhem.
Keep up the awesome work.
Mayhem would be great for this series!
Burzum would be better tho
What abput Silencer
@@Sebass445 I think the connection between Mayhem and Varg would be an awesome video.
Mayhem is a must for such a series
That "cutting edge" show turned out to be a shitshow. Worst $7 ever. I am literally crying lmfao the way the news explained it killed me
Lol ikr
Yeah I don't know his music seems pretty terrible I wouldn't go to a show
I’m surprised the news reporter didn’t say “I hope they got their money back.”
They probably didn’t by the sound of it.
The news reporter looks like a young Shep Smith from Fox News
@@PROUDTOBEANAMERICAN55 they didnt wanted to hear the music, the music was the fries, and him was the burguer.
dying at Johnny Puke's apartment was destiny for this guy.
Most of his concerts were a real "shit show"
you are funny, and original. A total " one off "
.... one off the wrist ......
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Guess you could say GG was the king of making brown noise
@@iletthedevilin828 what happened after you let the devil in?
@@Rooftop_Korean_159 I lost my taste for heavy metal and starting listening to creed
He was a sick individual who cared very much that people noticed him. He grew up without anyone giving him the time of day, so when he grew older and he realized this was a way to get attention he was hooked. As sad as he was, it was all the hangers on that were the saddest, They couldn't get noticed if they tried because they were too timid, but if they could hang on to GG Allin's coat tails then someone might notice them. Those are the people that fed GG's sickness. He thought he was important because these hanger ons wanted to be near him. He thought he had to keep that image going even when he got off the stage. He had to do more heroin than everyone else. That night he accomplished that task and died. Then his hanger ons held one last hang before they burred him and people are still talking about hanging with him, or getting his shit thrown at them just so they can be cool.
Ok Oprah.
Nailed it.
Yeah pretty much
One big shitty case of misaligned codependency...
The insight of this comment left me feeling very sad, but I'm glad it was made.
Never heard of this dude before this video and I'm glad I'll probably never hear of him again.
GG Allin shows, where the back seats are more expensive then the front seats
Fun fact: gg allin was a really good chef and really good at scrabble.
Just what I crave...someone making me scrambled eggs with shit-covered fingers...
where'd you hear that? haha I've never heard of him cooking, nd also I'm not surprised by the Scrabble fact, he's an incredibly well-spoken person.
@@antarcticorb9197 He could do eggs shitty side up also
Daddy would you like some sausage daddy would you like some sausage daddy would you like some sausage
I heard his food is the shit too. Lol
I can ONLY imagine what the VIP Experience would've been like.
Vip= a warm Busch light, broken cigarette, last hit off the joint and first smear of fresh poo.
He sits on your lap and shits
...and pukes in your hair while smearing pizza on your face (to chase away the feces smell).
"Book your VIP corporate hospitality experience with GG inc. promotions right now!!"
@1:30 his parents had me in tears how the narrorator pronounced it😭😭😭😭💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Amazing.
Well done man. I learned of GG about a dozen or so years ago. He obviously battled a lot of demons in his own mind and soul. A twisted dude.
@@jhard8789 do you you just go talking shit about allin throughout the whole comments what a fucking no life.
@@scarlet6917 yes 🤣
@Mr Dracula hahaha im sorry that gg the clown allin was a no talent b****. Did i hurt your feelings?
@@jhard8789 I'm sorry my dude.. this video and comments must be hurting you so much that you have to comment all over to pple who liked him. Such next level shit of not liking an individual.
My condolences to you
@@Krotas_DeityofConflicts only shows how ignorant and and arrogant he is, hopefully some people grow tf up 🤷♂️
I don’t care for the man myself, but it’s interesting and I’m not gonna comment “so sad I couldn’t punch his face till he stopped breathing.” Bro, J Hard, get some help, obviously need it!
Man GG had to have been the grossest human being ever
look up a man called Pazuzu, he's just as bad or possibly worse.
He had no talent. Gross out was all he had.
Look up James K from My 600 LBS Life
@@tommyboyindy1157 he had talent. He was just a strange crazy gross dude.
Right?
I've seen that newsreel footage before, but never noticed before that the onsite reporter is none other that Fox News anchor Shep Smith - that's genuinely hilarious.
My old dishwasher Scary Gary? Shared a cell with g.g. in Jackson, here in Michigan. Can you imagine?
I honestly have to say this is heartbreaking if nothing else. The guy needed help. Not gigs were he crapped all over the place.
He was just the male Amber Heard 😂
@@nostradamus7648 Ohhh snap.
The actual heartbreaking thing is sad people with an enslaved mind like you actually confuse "functioning in the supposed way" in this utter shitshow (lol) of a society with living, AND with friggin HEALTH 😂😂
We ain't need no help to live. If we all just lived, the world could be a better place
Help with what
Thank you for watching the second episode of Morbid Musicians, these videos take longer to make so I'll be less consistent over on this channel but I've been posting pretty much every week on the second channel so you can find me over there if you get bored!
Can you do the musician ‘Passenger of Shit’? His songs make gg Alin’s look tame in comparison
YESSSSSSS! Thank you @Deburke321 for your time and effort in making this video! 🤘
What is the first episode
@@megazoid6573 ruclips.net/video/L4Ury06WEco/видео.html
You HAVE to cover Burzum
Song from 0:21 to 0:35 ?
As a Kevin into punk, I've got a lot to live up to.
I actually opened for him in 1985. I was only 15 at the time too! We didn’t know what to expect as we had only read about his shows in MR&R but it was very early on. It’s completely true that before his performance he was completely nice. He just talked about Iggy Pop a lot and hung out with everyone. The minute he hit the stage though..complete transformation.
Glad this creep is no longer with us.
What band were you ?
Came real close to signing that soul contract to Satan, eh?
@@sus-it5tr Freddie Fishstick and the 3 finger bourbon band.
@@thisisgettingold not how it works
The fact that Todd Philips was involved with him speaks volumes. This guy is definitely interesting maybe not as a singer but as a character. He probably used some inspiration from this guy and add it to the Joker 🃏
Put GG in the hall of fame already!!!
cant believe what gets passed as art
I remember when I was younger, he preformed in my home town at a place called "Rosie's" there was so much buzz about it. I loved rebellious music, like D.R.I., Leeway, Cromags, Agnostic Front, S.O.D. and many others. And though it was walking distance from my house, I said no, didn't have the balls. I believe Rosie's had no more concerts after GG. As Always Excellent production, Thank you
Dang. Mind if I ask the hometown? I gotta look this up
Laa0fa same TvT
I can't remember if they played City Gardens. I don't believe they'd be allowed. The feces wouldn't fly with owners and a lot of shows were all ages so shit wouldn't sail well there due to that.
@@VanHellsing12 he wouldnt tell ppl what he did, sometimes his shows were canceled cuz they'd find out what he did
@@humanoidbastard673 referring to the general knowledge of his act. I'm certain that word was able to travel fast to other venue owners for the time.
Considering his childhood, his family lived in a log cabin with no running water or electricity in Groveton, New Hampshire. His father was an abusive religious fanatic who threatened his family with death, digging graves in their cellar and threatening to fill them in the near future. In an essay titled "The First Ten Years", Allin wrote that Merle Sr. wanted to kill his family in a murder-suicide. He "despised pleasure" and allowed his family "very little contact with others". They lived a "primitive existence" and "were more like prisoners than a family". Allin also stated that his mother attempted to escape before she filed for divorce, but Merle Sr. thwarted the attempt by kidnapping Allin. What he ended up being was probably the best possible outcome.
And what does society expect eh? You or me would probly have turned out the same or even worse if we'd had the same in childhood. Least he never killed anyone. If you abuse kids, this is what happens when they grow up. Love is all, get that in the membrane people.
Bro we know all this from the first 5 minutes of the video that we all JUST watched, who the fuck did you write this for?
@@coochiecoo68 nah, abuse does not do that. As an emotionally, socially, mentally and physically abused individual, I can confirm.
I grew up with less than that.
