If you want to know GG, watch this film.
31 March 2004
Many people, like myself, heard all the wild stories about GG Allin. I thought I had seen it all, or at least, could picture it all. NOTHING in my lifetime had remotely prepared me for this documentary/film. Sure, someone could tell you, "He craps on stage and smears it on his face, then throws it at the audience. Then he goes into the audience and beats the hell out of people", or, "He had a prostitute pee and his mouth and then he threw up while continuing to drink the urine". Of course you'd either laugh or cringe, but no matter what you're thinking, it's nothing like sitting there and actually watching these events take place in front of you. It will cause you to question many things, and wonder what happened to Allin in his lifetime to want to destroy himself in the manner that he did. He takes every possible degration and humiliation and makes it his life's blood. The interviews with his brother, friends, and former band mates are a great source of information, but the interviews with Allin himself will grab your attention the most. He reeks of desperation, patheticness, and anger. He was a man who could actually claim he had no morals and meant it, all the while you may find yourself not being able to help but feel sorry for him. It's an amazing thing to watch, and possible the most disturbing. Many people I know could not watch it more than once. I recommend that you do.
