Duke: I know it's getting repetitive, but damn I loved your GG 'op-ed'. I'm not a punk rocker, don't know shit about punk, but you nailed it perfectly - I only just recently decided once and for all to see what the all the hype is about and started checking him out on 'youtube.' Well ... my curiosity has turned into an obsession. I can't stop watching the fucker - and damned if some of the songs aren't solid as hell ..... 'Die when you Die' and 'Bite it you Scum' come to mind. He was the walking, talking embodiment of truth being stranger than fiction, he was the real deal in every sense of the word, the personification of the Reagan Revolution's rancid underbelly; the most intense, outrageous perfomer rock and roll has ever seen and I'm so fucking glad I never actually witnessed him in person. I would have had nightmares for weeks.

people keep comparing gg allin to other people, like jim morrison, or sid vicious or other bands. GG allin started in the late 70's, he was around when punk started, he always did that type of shit. also HE ISNT THESE OTHER PEOPLE. those other people are fucking pussies next to him. HE WAS AND IS what punk rock is, total disregard for anything, and doing whatever the fuck you want and not giving a fuck what anyone thinks. and for the dude that wrote the article you say you've been in green day pits, who cares, green day is a bunch of pussies too, their pits are nothing. and most peopel on this dont seem like they know anything about him, they just know what hes done. you should read some interviews people have done with him. youll think hes less crazy.

I thought it was a fucking great read Duke. It's the best description of G.G Allin i've read on the net all day and i've been through a few, i tell ya. And it's only a review of a DVD! If anyone ever asks me who the psycho was i'd send 'em here mate! Well done matey!

I myself have been a big gg fan for years now. GG always embodied everything that i love in punkrock. not so much the politics, even though i am political in my punkness (notice the irony, please, lol). It's the rage that comes from depravation, insecurity projected into mindless violence and most of all having fun combined with shocking the moral majoroty. With gg this goes also for shocking not only the mainstream moral majoroty, but also a lot of the hippies waiwing the punk flag. About the music, his classic release "Always was, is and shall be" is a classic with good reason. It's fun and in your face punk rock'n'roll, what else would you want from a punk record? Also his great songs like i wanna fuck myself, you hate me and i hate you, or sluts in the city just make it fun being a punk, not really caring about what pretentious crap the crass or the people from profane existence are trying to shove down your throat as proper punk.

also, i don't mean to be pedantic, but the "own a cell phone" line seems a tad redundant considering the nature of this discussion.

hey man, thats some righteous anger right there. A word, though; maybe calling folks prissy fucks and so on is the kind of narrow-minded thinking thayt has folks questioning GG's artistic worth. Maybe those kinds of generalisations aren't any better than the ones you attack? Who knows? And i haven't watched MTV since UGLY KID JOE had Everything About You in the charts. At least a moonth ago, that must have been.

y'all are some prissy fucks. you watch mtv, you care what people think about you, you own a cell phone. how dare anyone here call GG a poseur. he was an artist in every sense of the word. now go back to your little plastic word and be shocked by marilyn manson, enemaM, and britney spears. you just don't get it. go urinate on his grave and then jump off an nearby overpass. GG loves you.

KingX, thanks for the comments. I agree, i don't think GG was putting on an act, and i explained this in my Review Of Hated - GG Allin And The Murder Junkies. I'm still fairly unsure what i think of his music, although i have said before that the track Hanging Out With Jim is unnaturally catchy. I think there was more to the antics he got up to than just "shock", although certainly that played 99% of a part in it. There was a disturbing nihilism and wrecklessness that ran under it all that means that, evn ten years later, his performances are still captivating and compulsive.

Wel, I see the assaults getting back and forth in here wether GG was an artist or not.. To me he was an artist.. an real artist.. sure when he started the whole "I am god, stan and jesus all rolled into one" crap I though he wen't a bit over the top.. but the fact is GG also ahs given us so much and created so much in terms of punk rock music.. just listens to always is and always shall be album with thej abbers.. its one of the best punk rock alubms in history.. so many bands today try and sound like that era of GG allin.. but fails alot.. anotehr thing that makes me think this was his life more than just an act is that most bands (like 95% of them) goes down in temp as more famous they get.. he on the other hand wen't the opposite way.. he speeded up and up and up.. got more and more outragous. his hatred towards society (and himself) just boiled over in the end.. now that to me is not an act.. it was what he belived and stood for.. he was an true artist.. not too many todays bands can say they are that.. singing all this "cool" stuff in their lyrics but yet they can't stand for them in real life.. btw sorry if there is spelling mistakes everywhere.. english isn't my best language... =)

JD and Nasty, thanks for the comments. I agree, GG wouldn't give a flying baboon for what folks think of him, but the fact he's still being so enthusiastically debated would, i imagine, give him cause for a celebratory shit-toss, wherever he may be. I don't neccesarily agree that he did whatever he wanted regardless of consequences. I think a lot more thought went into some of his more outrageous antics that we might imagine. But certainly he cared little for established values, other than how in the hell he might best blast them to blazes. Usually by flinging a shit or two.

There is one thing you are missing the point to.... It's his artistry is PUNK! punk is all about out of tune guitars, the lack of good timing and singers who can't sing. if you don't like it fair enough, but GG Allin was most definately a punk ARTIST unless you don't see punk as an artform he would not be an artist PUNK isn't just rebellious, like fuck the government! it's a rebellious music genre that goes against what other music genres are based upon. such as Talent. Good punk bands depend on originality and making their own melody \m/

And the Amazon links, too! (I noticed they were missing elsewhere after I posted the above comment.) You get a gold star for watching this stuff and reporting back to civilization. Further comment seems redundant, but that's what Blogcritics is all about, wot?

argh! all those lovely comments, lost to the wind! Anyway, to the fella who said about the amazon links, i feel i must stand my ground and whatnot and inform you that i had indeed the amazon links what are now back on the article, but the amazon stuff wasn't working for a couple days there on account of the site changing hands, i believe. So apologies for the absense of them for the last day or so, but they were there up until then, and, indeed, have returned!

Where's the Amazon links, man? Even if there's no G.G. Allin product extruding through their massive system, surely they sell toilet paper or some other relevant product...

Chris, OH WOW, did that generate energetic response! I'm with you, in a way. OK, let me put statements in perspective. Well, shit, one definition in the American Heritage Dictionary for "artist" is '2) Any person who performs his work as if it were an art'. Well, they put 'as if' in the phrasing. And I was just going off the concept of anyone who does what they do well is an artist of their craft. For instance, growing up here in this neck of the woods most all of us kids were 'Boeing brats', everyone's dad worked there. So alot of these engineers who came up with all this amazing designs could be considered mechanical artists. Or the mechanic at the local gas station who fixed your car (hey, my mechanic is the best!) or the person who tailored your suit, etc. I guess the reference to artistic serial killers was a hardcore punk mentality. Maybe. Naw, I never did the Oi! thing much... And I guess you saw the regional thing bringing up Bundy and Ridgeway. GG Allin is one fucking sick performance artist. Or something to that affect. Barf

That's a load of crap (pun intended) Duke. I said GG was a poser hiding behind the mask of punk rock music. I suppose we could stretch things and call him a performance artist - as that would be closer to the warped reality of GG.....But I still don't know if I would term his abhorrent behavior as art - perhaps moronic juvenile... Hey, you wrote the post - expect the shit storm (another pun).....

chris, i would point out that it was your good self who first planted the seed in this comment malarky about GG being an artist in the first place, if you were stressing that he wasn't. hehe ;)

*rolls eyes* Why is it that whenever I am discussing the definition (or lack there of) of art, someone has to pull Ted Bundy and the art of serial killing out of their ass?! What is it with you freakos? Artistic expression is an expansive canvas, no doubt. But let's stick to regular, time-honored boundaries, shall we? You wish to travel back to the days of Goth warriors and roam the lands sticking heads on polls, be my guest. How-fucking-ever, we live in civilization today, as much as Allin attempted to prove otherwise. Artistic expression would include music, writing, painting, sculpting, performing. If one is to break the traditional rules of artistic expression, one must LEARN them first. The only thing Allin learned was how to stick a needle in his arm...... Saying the obsessive murder of innocent people is an artform is akin to saying hunting is an artform - which is complete bullshit. It may be cool to make such a claim - oh so avant garde - but it reveals the very jaded attitude that spawns such illiterates as Allin.
