![]() GG: With GG, you don't get what you expect. When asked why he didn't follow up on the threat, he responded with a now-famous quote: He was in prison when the day arrived, and in fact, a similar situation would repeat for a few years afterward. One of his most infamous claims was that, on Halloween in 1989, he would commit suicide on stage, in order to make a statement about choosing your own fate and ending when one is at one's peak. It should come as no surprise that due to GG's antisocial behavior, on stage and off, he wound up serving a significant amount of jail sentences, the longest of which was for the alleged assault of a female fan. GG preferred to express all this debauchery through loud, three-chord punk rock with rock-bottom production values, but he actually showed some ambition later in his career, when he dipped his toe into Country Music and Spoken Word.ĭespite being such a mentally unstable and proudly repugnant human being, GG did have a cult following, whether from the outermost fringes of society, or just extremely dark-humored people who loved the ugly spectacle (both camps persist to this day). They were simply callous and misogynistic while he was in the Jabbers, but afterward, he embraced shock value as a public statement in and of itself, and began writing loud, fast songs about misogyny, murder, self-harm, drug and alcohol abuse, blasphemy, criminal sexual conduct, and of course, overthrowing American society. Even putting aside all this mayhem, there was also the matter of GG's songs. ![]() GG would frequently perform naked, self-harm, defecate and perform coprophagia on stage, and either physically or sexually assault audience members, male or female. True to his word, his concerts were some of the most infamous that punk rock had to offer, for being confrontational, scatological and incredibly violent. His personal philosophy became extremely individualist and anarchist, once referring to himself as the 'last true rock & roller,' whose purpose on Earth was to make rock & roll music dangerous again. Taking more of a Pop Punk-ish direction than his later albums, it remains likely his least controversial album. ![]() Their first album, Always Was, Is, And Always Shall Be was released in 1980. ![]() It gave GG his start in the music business, which eventually resulted in him fronting The Jabbers starting in 1977. ![]() Inspired by rock & roll at an early age, GG began playing drums for local bands, and he and Merle formed a band called Malpractice. Unfortunately, her attempt ultimately failed - on top of being a poor student, GG was constantly bullied for not fitting in, so to rebel, GG would start cross-dressing to school. She even went so far as to change his name to Kevin Michael Allin, to keep him from being bullied in school. (The shortening of his name to "GG" was born out of his brother Merle's mispronunciations.) His mother left the marriage, following years of abuse, and took GG and Merle with her. Kevin Michael "GG" Allin (Aug June 28, 1993) was born Jesus Christ Allin, so named by his Christian father, who claimed to have had a vision of his son being a powerful man, likened to the Messiah. A deceased punk rocker known for obscene lyrics, infamous lifestyle, and subversive live shows. ![]()
