This one for you ClassicMusic20. I know you want trendy Yacht Rock for your radio but calling soft Christian rock by that genre just to get me to buy something won't work and never putting a penny of your own money for anything while using pressure buy to make me buy the last one on Discogs is lame for lame music my Goodwill steals are Sanctified.as R.L. Burnside used to say live.

It is still hard for me to reconcile the early material of GG Allin with his later "I, poopeater" phase. I saw him during '91 and it was the most out-of-control night I can remember but I hated the music. Shame he couldn't match the performance with the quality sounds of the early stuff. Thanks for this!
convertido - I agree with you pretty much - GG's early stuff was incredible, and it's too bad the later material with the lame "Murder Junkies" is all that most people. know. However he did release one killer album latterly - the "Carnival of Excess" 'country' album. It's his next best thing to the Jabbers stuff, and has recently been re-released (after years of being out of print) by the same people who collaborated with GG on it back in the day (kick-ass label too, lots of other good stuff). Check them out here...

Eat My Fuc is a cracking album as well. A bit more Fear influenced. Still has his cool rasping vocal style at this stage. After this album things started to go really downhill at least musically and of course otherwise.
Your right tho' James Jesus, that Carnival Of Excess album was ace. Loved his cover of Carmelita especially.
powerpopfanatic1979, I'm 100% with you. The stuff with the Jabbers, Scumfucs, and (latterly) with the Criminal Quartet ('Carnival of Excess') is pretty much all that people need to hear of GG's. I think the problem with GG was that he started to believe his own publicity. The early stuff is spontaneous, and when he started to get really offensive (Scumfucs era) he wasn't taking himself too seriously, and there was often a humorous edge. I'd even say the album with Bulge ('Freaks Faggots Drunks & Junkies') is OK - at that point he'd upped the offensiveness level, but - whether you like the music or not, and it is pretty listenable compared to the stuff that followed - it feels genuine, it seems like a record made by someone who really was teetering on the edge. Compare that to the contrived material he did with the likes of the Murder Junkies - stupid songs portraying himself as a mass murderer, etc. Embarrassing rubbish. Not so many people know that GG wanted to break into Nashville. One of his best songs ( the great country tune 'Rowdy Beer Drinkin' Night') was found on a cassette after his death. It's thought it may have been intended as a demo to get himself known as a country songwriter. But for whatever reason he allowed himself to be sucked back into the whole bullshit scene that ended up in his death. Not that he was going to live a long life anyway. But if he'd managed to go the 'country' route people today might have actually heard of his music. rather than the stuff that did make him famous. He made a name for himself, but at what cost?
