Inside The Final Years Of GG Allinįrank Mullen/WireImage Ever since GG Allin’s death in 1993, he’s held one of the most bizarre legacies of all time. He ultimately served 15 months in prison for that crime. He admitted to cutting and burning a woman and drinking her blood. But perhaps the most serious stint was in 1989 - when he was sentenced to prison for assault. It’s no surprise that Allin found himself in and out of jail for various crimes. Several female concertgoers claimed that he sexually assaulted them after the shows, and some alleged that he attacked them during his sets. Police were sometimes called, especially when Allin began jumping into crowds and onto his fans. Naturally, the destructive nature of his sets often resulted in venues and equipment companies severing ties with Allin. He also incorporated blood into his performance by pouring it onto his body and spraying it across the stage and audience. He started eating the feces, smearing them around on the stage, and even throwing them at audience members. The reaction was evidently the one that GG Allin was going for, as defecation soon became a regular part of his stage act.īut before long, he wasn’t just defecating onstage. Hundreds of confused punk kids were flipping out, running out the door, because the smell was incredible.” “All of the old men in charge of the hall went f*cking nuts. “After he sh*t onstage, complete chaos broke out in the hall,” Bloody Mess continued. “Unfortunately, he ate it hours before the show, so he constantly had to hold it in or he would’ve sh*t before he got onstage.”įlickr/Ted Drake The aftermath of a GG Allin performance in 1992. “I was with him when he bought the Ex-Lax,” recalled Bloody Mess, the band’s frontman. Unbeknownst to the crowd, the act was entirely premeditated.

While performing a show with Bloody Mess & the Skabs in Peoria, Illinois, he defecated on stage for the first time - in front of hundreds of people. After a particularly wild performance with the Cedar Street Sluts in Manchester, New Hampshire, Allin gained a new nickname: “The Madman of Manchester.”īut in 1985, Allin decided to take his “madman” title to a whole new level. He appeared with groups like The Cedar Street Sluts, The Scumfucs, and the Texas Nazis, garnering a reputation as a hardcore underground rocker. Throughout the 1980s, Allin again found himself hopping from band to band. But by the mid-1980s, Allin was causing tension in the band due to his constant refusal to compromise with them. He soon released his debut album, Always Was, Is and Always Shall Be, with the band. In 1977, GG Allin found a more permanent gig playing the drums and singing backup for the punk rock band The Jabbers. (Interestingly enough, he also looked up to country music legend Hank Williams.) Before long, he broke onto the scene as a drummer, performing with several groups and even forming two bands with his brother Merle Jr. Instead, he explored the world of music, inspired by his idols Alice Cooper and the Rolling Stones.
