Category: Fuck GG Allin – a Tribute!

Perhaps underrated and virtually forgotten (as GG Allin rolls around on broken glass, sh’t, vomit and his own blood – whilst ‘shouting’ incoherently into a mic) is the staying power of his backing group! They soldier on playing the drums and guitar – whilst stagehands keep an eye on the violence by regulating its intensity – ensuring GG Allin is not overwhelmed by multiple opponents or beaten too far into unconsciousness (as there is a show to perform)! GG Allin certainly seems to take a good shot and always comes back for more whilst serenely detached from the events he is the centre and has unleashed. Occasionally, the drummer has to stand the cymbal back up or realign the bass drum with the snare, etc, sometimes continuing to bang away with a single drumstick whilst these adjustments are made, and prostrate bodies cleared away from the working area! The guitarist seems to think he’s in ‘Nirvana’ with the manner of his dress and his indifference to the madness that is unfolding around him! Every so often he fires a well-aimed kick at the body (or head) of an unsuspecting audience member who has just fallen over his own legs – or some part of GG Allin’s anatomy! All Grist for the mill.
