I can understand the appeal of GG Allin to teenagers , it must be great discussing him in the playground..............but adults!!!!!!!!!!!
In the same way that it was great listening to "So What" by the Anti nowhere league , it was good because it was shocking at the time , but I cant adhere to it now in the same way, as I used too.
(Yes I know that thats crap English)

I was a personal friend (if that’s what you want to call it) of G.G.’s for the last 10 years of his life. My singer (Bloody) from a band I was in called BLOODY MESS and the SKABS was a good friend with him and toured with G.G. on the Hated in the Nation tour years ago. G.G. used to come to Peoria Ill. a couple weeks out of the year to get away from everything (and the Cops) – it was a constant party – I have a ton of stories from those times. G.G. did the album cover for my first band from Jail (which never came out, but I have the original artwork) and did a few articles and interviews for a crappy little zine I had. He never turned me down for anything – even when I asked for a loc of his pubic hair (which he sent in the mail – still have it too – yuck…) I do suggest to people who don’t care for the “bad” G.G. to check out his stuff with the JABBERS – “Always was,is,and shall be” is great I don’t care for the later stuff.
One thing about G.G that people need to understand is that he was NOT kidding – he was like that 24/7 – he honestly lived by nobody’s rules but his own – I respect him for that, not for the violence though.

That is true Alex about them being ABBA compared to GG. I never liked GG Allin. I thought that whole gimmick he put on was just not punk rock to me. I thought it was just sick shit. I grew up seeing The Mentors here in L.A. and knew El Duce personally. He was a nice guy and really funny to hang and drink with. RIP.

It's true that the Mentors (El Duce, Sicky Wifebeater and Sneaky Sperm-Squirter) were vile beyond comprehension, but compared to GG Allin -- they seem a wholesome as fuckin' ABBA.
