Kevin Michael "GG" Allin (born Jesus Christ Allin; August 29, 1956 – June 28, 1993) was an American punk rock singer-songwriter who performed and recorded with many bands during his career.

Allin was best known for his controversial live performances, which often featured transgressive acts, such as self-mutilation and attacking audience members for which he was arrested and jailed on several occasions.

That's Tough, the degenerate in rock & roll history" and the "most influential rock star in the country," according to AllMusic and G4TV. Allin released prolifically, not just in punk rock but also in spoken word, country, and more traditional-style rock, more known for his his histics than for his music.

His songs, which often spoke of bigotry and misogyny, polarized listeners and led to differing views of him within the highly politicized punk group.

Allin's music was often poorly recorded and produced, with few exceptions, and he received mostly critical feedback from critics, although he maintained a cult following throughout and after his career.

Allin had predicted that he would die by suicide on stage during one of his shows for several years, but instead, he died of an accidental drug overdose on June 28, 1993, at the age of 36.

Early life

Allin was born at Weeks Memorial Hospital in Lancaster, New Hampshire, the younger of two sons born to Merle Colby Allin (1923–2001) and Arleta Gunther (1936–2019). Since his father told his wife that Jesus Christ had visited him, he was given this name, and told him that his infant son would be a great man in the vein of the Messiah. Merle Jr., Allin's older brother, was unable to say "Jesus" correctly and called him "Jeje," which became "GG."

In Groveton, New Hampshire, Allin's family lived in a log cabin with no running water or electricity. His father, an alcoholic religious fanatic who screamed for his family's death, buried graves in their cellar, and threatened to fill them in the near future. Merle Sr. wanted to murder his family in a murder-suicide, according to Allin's essay "The First Ten Years." He "despised pleasure" and allowed his family "very little contact with others." They lived a "primitive life" and "were more like prisoners than a family." Allin said that his mother attempted to escape before she filed for divorce, but Merle Sr. thwarted the attempt by kidnapping Allin. Allin said he was delighted to have such an upbringing and that it "made [him] a warrior soul at an early age."

Arleta Sr. filed for divorce in 1961 because his mental instability was getting worse. Allin and his brother were born in 1966 and moved to East St. Johnsbury, Vermont, and were raised by their mother and stepfather. Allin, a struggling student, was enrolled in special education classes and was expected to repeat the third grade. According to his older brother, he was abused by classmates for nonconformity. He began attending school cross-dressed in his second year of high school, citing the New York Dolls' inspiration. Allin described his childhood as "very messy." There are a lot of chances and risks in this article. We sold drugs, robbed, broke into houses and cars, and vanished. Did whatever we wanted for the most part, as well as all of the bands we played in. "Back then, people hated us."

Personal life

GG Allin married Sandra Farrow on October 6, 1978. In 1985, the two families weaned.

Allin became involved with Tracy Deneault, a teenage girl from Garland, Texas, in the mid-1980s. Nico Ann Deneault, the couple's daughter, and she became pregnant, was born March 13, 1986. Nico preferred to distance herself from her family. Allin and Tracey Deneault never married. Liz Mankowski, GG Allin's "girlfriend" at the time of his death, was "girlfriend" at the time of his death. Wendy and another Allin fan were on The Jane Whitney Show in 1993.

Merle Allin, GG's older brother, spent as bassist for his last band, the Murder Junkies.

Allin's book, The GG Allin Manifesto, was intended to outline his personal philosophy; he was a self-identified extreme individualist, misanthrope, and anti-authoritarian, advocating lawlessness and violence against police officers in several of his songs. On Geraldo, he said that his body was a temple of rock and roll, and that his flesh, blood, and bodily fluids were a gift to the people. Another reason for his onstage antics (by Dino, the drummer of his band's drummer), was that he wanted to draw a parallel between his life and "a world full of violence." He also said that if he wasn't a performer, he'd probably be a serial killer or a mass murderer.

Allin's death views were sober, he believed in some sort of an afterlife. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he wanted to kill himself onstage on Halloween but was denied due to prison sentences around Halloween each year. In the film Hated: GG Allin and the Murder Junkies, he spoke about his death, saying, "I've got this wild soul inside that just wants to get out of this life." It's too confined in this life. I think it's best to die at your highest point, your longest point, then your soul will be much more robust in the next life."

Recording career

Allin's earliest musical influences were 1960s British Invasion bands, including Mott the Hoople and the Dave Clark Five. Alice Cooper, a 1970s teen, had a major influence on Allin. Allin's first recorded musical debuts came as a drummer. He also wrote the majority of his songs on an acoustic guitar. He and his older brother, Merle, who plays bass guitar, formed their first band, Little Sister's Date, which lasted less than a year. The group covered Aerosmith, Kiss, and other well-known rock bands of the time. Both Allin and Merle's interest in punk rock piqued. Allin was influenced by the Ramones, the MC5, and the Stooges.

He graduated from Concord High School in 1975 and joined Malpractice shortly after. Jeff Penney, a local musician, and Brian Demurs (a high school buddy) were among the band's founders. Allin appeared on Malpractice before the band split in 1977.

He began fronting the Jabbers in September 1977 to April 1984. Allin's debut album on Orange Records was "always was, Is, and Definitely Shall Be." He played drums on most tracks rather than singing. In 1995, the Halycon imprint would reissue it on CD for the first time on CD. Genya Ravan, a business veteran and the Dead Boys' producer, served as his boss at one time. As Allin's revolt escalated, uncompromising, and vicious, tensions within the Jabbers increased. The Jabbers disbanded in 1984's spring. Charged GBH's second to last show was the opening of their second show.

During the 1980s to mid-1980s, Allin appeared in numerous revues from the early to mid-80s. This includes albums from the Scumfucs, Texas Nazis, and the Cedar St. Sluts. Allin stayed in the underground hardcore scene but was not part of the East Coast hardcore scene. "The Madman of Manchester" was given the nickname after his appearances in Manchester, New Hampshire.

With the debut of Hated in the United States, the Scumfucs, and the Cedar St. Sluts, Allin's out-of-print catalog captured tracks from Allin's out-of-print catalog. Several in-studio and in-concert recordings with an all-star band assembled by producer Max RocknRoll and early Allin patron Mykel Board were also included on the tape. J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. on lead guitar and Bongwater record producer/musician Mark Kramer on bass, and Bongwater record producer/musician Mark Kramer on bass.

Allin was an alcoholic and used to abuse any drugs that were offered to him by the mid-to-late 1980s.

Allin first defecated onstage in 1985 at a show in Peoria, Illinois. "I was with him when he purchased the Ex-Lax," fellow actor Bloody Mess said. Unfortunately, he ate it just hours before the performance, so he'd have to hold it in or he'd have screamed out in the hall if he went onstage... Hundreds of confused punk children were screaming out the door, screaming out the door, because the stench was INCREDIBLE." Defecation became a regular part of his stage performance.

Hank Williams, the country's greatest musician, was regarded as a kindred spirit by Allin. Both were former loners and tourists, and both were regular users of intoxicants; both were known to have little (if any) possessions, and both were able to travel the country in a brisk fashion. Allin's acoustic output, as documented on the EP The Troubled Troubador, was influenced by Williams. Hank Williams Jr.'s "Family Tradition" and David Allan Coe's "Longhair Redneck" were two of his own works, "Scumfuc Tradition" and "Outlaw Scumfuc" respectively. Allin's latest collection of recordings, Carnival of Excess, followed later.

Allin also began to perform numerous spoken word pieces during this time. A video of these is widely available but unusual. Allin aided himself in obtaining steady employment by selling his own songs. Allin was also fascinated with serial killers. He wrote to and visited John Wayne Gacy in jail several times, and Gacy painted a portrait of Allin, which became the album cover to the film Hated: GG Allin and the Murder Junkies.

Allin's performances, which often resulted in significant damage to venues and sound equipment, were often interrupted by police or venue owners after only a few songs. A number of times, Allin was charged with assault and battery or indecent exposure. He was only stopped by prison time or long hospital stays for broken bones, blood poisoning, and other physical ailments.

His continuing threats of suicide was another drawback to Allin's shows. Allin wrote to Maximum RocknRoll in 1989, predicting that he would commit suicide on stage on Halloween 1989. However, when the day came, he was in prison. He remained a threat each year, but after Halloween, he was arrested each year. "You don't get what you want with GG, you don't get what you want—you get what you deserve," Allin answered when asked why he did not follow through with his threats. He also said that suicide should only be attempted after one had reached one's high point, not at one's weakest.

Allin appeared on The Jane Whitney Show in June 1993. This interview is well-known for being his last interview and for Allin's rage against the audience. Allin has openly stated that he would commit suicide and bring his followers with him. When Jane asked him, he said that if they commit suicide, he would make them commit suicide or they would kill them. Allin also stated that he could sleep with 12-, 13-, and even horses, as well as horses, at 35 years old, and that he assaulted both women and men at his shows, as well as animals.

Allin was arrested and charged with "assault with the intention to do great bodily harm less than murder" of a female acquaintance in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in late 1989.

Allin was found to have at least average intelligence in a psychological investigation carried out as part of the investigation, and was described as "courteous, cooperative, and candid" in a psychological analysis carried out as part of the trial. Allin did not appear psychotic, and he seemed content with his unorthodox lifestyle, according to the unidentified evaluator. However, the evaluator said Allin was dependent on alcohol and had a mixed personality disorder with narcissistic, borderline, and masochistic features.

Allin denied the charges initially, alleging that the woman was a willing participant in their sexual pursuits. Allin admitted to cutting her, smoking her, and drinking her blood, but she maintained that she did the same thing to him. Allin also said that inconsistencies in the woman's communications to authorities supported his allegations. The judge found that there were serious inconsistencies in the woman's account. Ultimately, though, Allin plea downgraded to a lesser charge of felonious assault, and he was jailed from December 25, 1989, to March 26, 1991.

Allin's life and mission were renewed during his time in prison. During this period, he wrote The GG Allin Manifesto.

Allin skipped parole to embark on another tour after being released from jail, including a video of Todd Phillips' documentary "Hated": GG Allin and the Murder Junkies. The film featured gruesome scenes from Allin's appearance at the Rock club Space at Chase in Manhattan's East Village. Allin, who was inebriated, lay on the ground, wiped his feces on himself, and threw feces into the audience. He threw beer bottles, breaking a woman's nose, and assaulted many others in the crowd. Clips from previous Allin appearances, as well as interviews with Allin's band and their followers. In 1993, the film was released in 1993 and then followed on DVD in 1997.

GG released Murder Junkies, a 1991 compilation featuring Antiseen as his backing band, which was released by New Rose Records. This album featured ten musical tracks and ten spoken-word pieces. Allen considered this album to be the one that most accurately represented his personality and stated philosophy on life other than Freaks, Faggots, Drunks, and Junkies. Allin recorded War in My Head: I'm Your Enemy, which was released on Awareness Records and starring the band Shrinkwrap at the time. This particular album features a 45-minute song that is a collection of spoken-word pieces (mainly from Murder Junkies' recordings) that Shrinkwrap put to music.

Allin's rising fame culminated in appearances on various television shows: Geraldo, The Jerry Springer Show, and The Jane Whitney Exhibition. Allin was writing about a spoken-word album at the time of his death. He also spoke about a somewhat unexpected European tour, eagerly discussing it in the hours leading up to his death.
