Moron: G.G. Allin

The point he was trying to make isn't hard to understand, and to a certain extent I agree with aspects of it. However the road he chose was as narrow minded and fascist as a religous zealot or cult leader. There seemed to be no room for a vast spectrum of the experience of life in GG's world. I know this might sound funny but if he took himself less seriously than I think it would have made a world of difference.

I have a friend who's a Steve Vai-level guitar god maniac (no hyperbole here--he won some sort of guitar composition contest that Vai ran for people in the towns he was coming through on tour once). We played with his band once and it was all prog-metal Maiden-meets-Dream Theater goofiness. But the guy could fucking shred.

Anyway, my point is that this friend of mine's favorite musician ever is GG Allin, and that cracks me up.

I've heard like a couple of his songs and saw that picture of him in his coffin in MRR. I dunno, i guess you sort of have to vote CRAP because that can be construed as either a positive or negative vote in the case of this guy.

Is it true he would throw bottles at prostitutes from his tour bus? My favorite teacher told me that when he tried to explain why he couldn't support G.G. Allin...that was my freshman year of high school. This teacher was into the Jesus Lizard and Wilco, and my friends and I just thought he must've been a wack-job (albeit a really cool one). We downloaded their cover of "Wheelchair Epidemic"...we thought it was an all right song actually...but we were more into Weezer...and my friend's cousin was the original bassist for the Plain White T's...so that's pretty much what we liked when we were softheaded children. I guess the Lizard had just broken up at this point. It was 2000. Weird.

I guess I'll vote CRAP because it was literally a part of his act.

After arriving at his friend's apartment, Allin snorted heroin, eventually passing out. Some party-goers posed for photos with the unconscious Allin, not knowing that he was already dead. The next morning, some noticed that Allin still lay motionless in the same place where they had left him, and called for an ambulance, but Allin was pronounced dead at the scene.

At his funeral, Allin's bloated, discolored corpse was dressed in his black leather jacket and trademark jock strap. He had a bottle of Jim Beam beside him in his casket, as per his wishes (openly stated in his self-penned acoustic country ballad, "When I Die"). As part of his brother's request, the mortician was instructed not to wash the corpse, (which smelled strongly of feces), or apply any makeup. The funeral became a wild party. Friends posed with the corpse, put drugs and whiskey into its mouth, and pulled down the jock strap to take pictures of Allin's penis. As the funeral ended, his brother put a pair of headphones on Allin. The headphones were plugged into a portable cassette player, in which was loaded a copy of The Suicide Sessions. The video of his funeral is widely available for purchase, and is an extra feature on the Hated DVD and some bootleg VHS tapes.



Wow. I would love to see the video of that funeral to satisfy my morbid curiosity.
kerble is a walking contradiction
