Opinions on GG Allin

ted23 · 11-06-2013, 07:48 AM

I asked a friend who knew GG and he said GG was more like a professional wrestler than anything else.

I don't believe him by the way, but he knew him well enough to be asked to be in his band.

It's far too late to speculate, but I seriously can't help it to say an opinion in a place like this.

I would say that if it were not for the early days, when he was meeting musicians like David Peel and a couple of the MC5, opening the Underground Music Scene door to him, he possibly would have been a Wrestler - the days of being a professional Circus Freak being long gone for the most part. He used the audience like a challenger in Wrestling, fed off of their goading and criticism as well as the audience's worship (sadly, there were those who did...). The early days fed his Rock and Roll interests, sparking him into going that route. Sadly, he decided to become his infamy instead of using it as just an act.

My opinion on GG Allin: He had a very good philosophy.

He's one of those guys whom I love purely because of the fact of how ****ing ridiculous and outlandish he was in everything he said and did. He didn't have a stage persona, he was so ****ing real. Do I believe that he's God? No, but my aunt sure did! (Yes, she's still alive and not in a rehab center, she lives across town from me). So yeah, I respect him as an *******, not as a musician because obviously that was not his biggest priority.

When I tell people I like punk and their first response is "I like punk too, especially GG Allin," I usually use that as a barometer to stay the hell away from them, especially at a show. Maybe I'm being unfair and judgmental, but 99% of those people turn out to be the asshole at a show.

I'd say it's more like 92%.

I think he was pretty funny.

GG Allin was the worst person in music and I don't understand how he could have any fans after literally ****ting on his own audience, although his debut does have its moments I suppose.
