GG Allin
 

What's a good GG Allin record to check out?

'Hated in the Nation' offers probably the best overview I've heard. A mixture of studio and live tracks. Not great, but then neither was GG Allin.

thanks

i like banned in boston the best.

Unremittingly shite.

thanks, I haven't heard Hated in the Nation yet. Also, it's entertaining to watch his youtube interviews, they're quite radical

he's ok in a cartoonish kind of way but that's about it. a one-listen-wonder. he probably makes more sense in an American, Hank Williams kind of context than he does in the UK. I mean at least Sid Vicious was pretty.

Is it bad that I don't think I've ever heard a single note by GG Allin?

gg allin is cooler than sid vicious

if you do not like rocking out with a guy who is shitting himself and smearing it on himself and others then....

do yrself a favor and don't check out any of them.

as theatre he was amazing. as songwriting it is merely a soundtrack I guess..never liked his albums

Yeah, you pretty much some it up there describing his music as a soundtrack to the theatre of his overall life. The interviews I've seen with him on things like Jerry Springer are far more entertaining than the music. There's also a pretty funny account of him in Lisa Carver's biography 'Drugs Are Nice'.

I have some fond memories of owning backroads in a trusty busted up beauville, ashes and grime and cool teen bad attitudes screaming along to gg. Ha, it was good times, then.

Sitting back downloading from my laptop...ha, I doubt I would have near the same attraction now if I hadnt heard of em.

I wonder of all kinds of music that might have been more apart of my life if there had just been a particular context for, but never have. Some things I probably pass up just because they needed something else to be a soundtrack to, and would have made a unique experience altogether for me.
Sometimes different things in the environment just make things click.

Fuck, enough with my nostalgia. It's the mood, as I enter a new age bracket in an hour - 25 to 70.

Anyways, I definately concurr with demonrail - albums like hated in the nation have some of the best...classic songs like drink fight and fuck, and the backing band The Jabbers is my favorite.

Banned in Boston
Eat my Fuc

my favorites.

who is that guy from the mets?

I've been reading about him and watching interviews on Youtube lately. I don't care for the music - I gave some of it a listen, and the early stuff is just seems to be a bad Stooges rip off which is completely undangerous and unthreatening, and the later stuff I couldn't care less about.

"Hated", a documentary on GG Allin is pro skater Eric Koston's favorite movie (he didn't retire yet, did he?) At least according to this site: http://myberrics.ning.com/profile/EricKoston

Reason enough for me to want to see it.

Anyone seen it? Is it good?
