Saw him a the 7th Street Entry - I think it was 1985. Stood in the back near the door (best spot in the entire room).
NOT CRAP. In no way was he crap.
And then at the after party my gf sewed up his cuts. :) Nice guy.
And if my memory serves me, at the same party, Gibby was in town, and he played piano all night long.

22Useless waste of human being. Loser couldn't rock his way out of a paper bag so he shoved things up his ass and threw his shit around.
And people payed money to see it. Idiots.

23I was at the last GG Allin show. Like most of the other people there, I was there for the spectacle. GG's style of music didn't really interest me, but I felt like it was something one should do at least once.
Unless anyone there was an idiot (other than GG, natch), they knew that going to that show, they might get hurt, or hit with feces, or see someone naked. It was little surprise, then, when GG pushed his way through the crowd the band played two songs, he hit a bunch of folks while yelling for a bit and then the "venue" (some DIY former gas station in the East Village) shut the thing down as GG broke a bunch of glass. The crowd milled around for a bit while GG popped up here and there to hit someone or perform aggressive frottage on someone else.
At one point I saw a fella being carried away by two people I assume were his friends. He was unconscious and his face was a bloody mess, presumably the result of a bad run in with the star attraction.
It's a little complicated - Allin was consistently, sincerely misanthropic and broadcasted this to anyone who paid attention. But just because you're onstage doesn't give you the right to be an asshole to other people. Punching someone's face in = asshole.
Crap.

24GG Allin had a schtick. That schtick was being scum and hurting people at his live shows.
GG beat the fucking shit out of my uncle's friend because he was wearing a collared shirt to one of his shows. What the fuck? And people take him seriously? That'd be like me pissing on every crowd member wearing something from Urban Outfitters.
I personally wouldn't waste my time on his music or his stage show. I did however see a DVD or two of his and I thought they were good for a laugh. He was just a mental midget trying to make a name for himself.
Only in America could a guy eat pussy and throw shit onstage and people would go...wow! I need a t-shirt so people will know I LOVE GG.
Not crap because he was such a fucking loon.

I agree fully.

27When I saw him, he didn't hurt a single person. He played tug-o-war with a woman he planted in the audience, that's it. Well, he hurt himself, but he's more animal then human....
I gotta say, his set was good also. Not great, but good. Perhaps I got to see G.G. when he wasn't buying his own rap. Maybe he wasn't yet bored of trying to top each show. Dunno. All I know is I saw that maniac control a packed Entry like he was splashing around in a pool of water, and he didn't have to resort to an awful lot of 'schtick' to do it.
And, if you go to an E.L.O. show, you expect to see a ton of lights and bad music. People still go. When you go to a G.G. show, you go for the living embodiment of r+r and bad music. I'd feel more raped by an E.L.O. show.

28He seems to have been exceptional at being a moron, so I'm not sure how to vote.
In any case, crap.

29I saw that show. Fortunately, I didn't work it though it took place in the four year period that I did sound in the Entry.
We played a show the night after he did at the Rocket in Providence one time, and had to endure a huge area where he smeared his bloody shit on the dressing room wall.
If he didn't stick things up his ass, and pull things out of his ass, nobody would be giving him the dubious credit of even having a Crap or Not Crap on the EA board. His music was and is completely forgettable.
That show wasn't good, even. So, he didn't hurt anyone that night. What a prince of a man.
"Living embodiment of Rock and Roll"? Maybe if you didn't have proper toilet training.
