WHY I GOT INVOLVED IN ROCK 'N' ROLL
For revenge on everything and everyone. To destroy and fuck up everything that ever got in my way and all the obstacles that still do. My rock 'n' roll is my reality and therapy ... it's my ultimate release-my mind is a machine gun, my body the bullets and my audience the target.
MURDER
Murder in our society is very important. I hear people saying all the time how they don't feel safe in their own cities and neighborhoods. So fucking what. You're not supposed to feel comfortable - comfort means conformity ... That's why this society is so fucking lame and robotic. It is very important to confront people with violence (win or lose) and to make our communities as dangerous and uncomfortable as possible. It will wake people up and keep them alert and responsive. So murder is a very positive thing ... it's very essential to eliminate the people who police us in any way or get in our way. Murder for the mission.
LIFE + DEATH
Only when you seriously seek death do you excellerate life. That way you will fear nothing. One must be willing to die a violent death while rising to one's peak. When one reaches his peak before dying, then suicide is the only answer ... Suicide is the only way to give your life and death a real and true meaning, otherwise it will be useless. Death is a very important part of your life. So the only way to make it exciting + meaningful is to be in complete control of the moment ... It is the only way for your soul to remain in its strongest form going into the next rendezvous ... But the time must be right and not premature, unless you die for your cause in the line of duty. But when you have indeed peaked out and all that matters to you has faded and the fight is gone ... then it is time ... when all is said and done, it's time to move on. Don't linger pathetically like so many others do ... Otherwise you will weaken and then when you do finally die you will also become soul dead as well.
RELIGION
I'm God, Jesus Christ and Satan all in one. There is no higher power than GG Allin. My body is also the Rock 'N' Roll temple. My flesh, blood and body fluids are a communion to my missionaries.
GOING TO PRISON
One should wear prison as a badge if they go fighting for what they believe in and who they are. I've learned a lot in prisons. How to be a better fighter and a better criminal. It has made me a much stronger person with a much more intense mind. It's a great basic training of survival and hustle. I feel it should be mandatory for everyone in this country to be incarcerated for at least one year out of their lives ... Like people going to school ... Then people would realize and have a better understanding of our judicial system's correctional program and how fucking worthless, corrupt and discriminating it really is ... To know how to beat it ...
RELATIONSHIPS
I do not believe in friendships or relationships - it is not necessary ... it only makes a person weak. For to be involved in a relationship of any kind means you have to give of yourself to that individual or individuals ... It only breaks you down. Whenever you have to give away any part of yourself it only breaks down your defenses and makes you completely vulnerable ... So I don't give of myself to anyone. I only take and put everything I obtain back into myself, for which makes me much stronger and durable both inside + out. I hate people anyway. They're always in my way. I'm not a social person. I'm a snake, cold and hard. I'll reveal nothing to you. You'll only see what I want you to see. That way my attack will give not clues ...
SEX
I believe anything goes as long as you can get off on it and it's meaningless. Hit and run fucking ... But straight fucking is boring and for the useless love-making morons. I like oral, anal, masturbation, body fluids, blood and danger ... With or without a partner ... If I want a partner I can find some sidewalk prostitute or some drug whore bitch. They make for much more fulfilling sexual experiences anyway. Underage boys, girls and animals are also fair game ... But violent sex is a must and rape is important for both sexes. It's our animal instincts that we must follow ...
TOURING
My life has been a continuous tour. When the tours come to an end with whatever band I'm with, they all go home and I just continue on. I'm always on the road. My home base is a Greyhound bus. I don't fucking stay anywhere for any great lengths of time (unless I'm in prison). I get to [sic] bored with people and places. I'm also the king of burning bridges. For me coming off a tour is like coming off heroin. It's very fucking hard for me and all those around me, so I just continue to go on with it. I'm a real son of a bitch if I ever stop moving.
CAREERS
The only important career that really matters is that of the career criminal. Fuck the laws of the government. This land is ours to rape. They send you to school and brainwash you. You get married, have kids, get a job, buy a car, house, take out loans and basically dig yourself into a hole you will never be able to get out of ... That way the state and government have you in bondage ... Fuck that shit. I will never submit to those pig fuckers. Everything I own fits into a suitcase and I don't keep an address. I have nothing to tie me down in any way. Nobody rules my life but me.
PERFORMING
Most performers are just that - performers. They are only out for shock and terror as entertainment ... Therefore, not only are they useless, they are limited as to what they can and cannot do. But as for me, I'm out to annihilate. My performances are my innermost locked up feelings of my interior depths unleashed. The wild untamed human animal. Therefore there are no laws or limits on my R+R stage. Thus my shows consist of real violence, savagery + bloodshed. As a result you can usually find more fuckin' police at one of my shows than you can at a murder scene. But I don't give a fuck. That's where I separate myself from all the others. I'm real, they're not.
Jails, prisons, hospitals, pain, broken bones, blood, tragedy and endless highways are all just a part of my Rock 'N' Roll life + mission ... I welcome them all as learning experiences ... Pain creates power, strength and endurance. I will never compromise it in any way.
FELLOW BANDMATES AND MUSICIANS
I do not get close to any of the bands or musicians who play behind me or on my records ... I use whoever I have to use to get where I have to go. I depend on myself only because I know that nobody else is willing to go the extra mile that it takes.
ROCK 'N' ROLL UNDERGROUND
The only real underground of Rock 'N' Roll has to become a dangerous force. It will only have true meaning as long as it commands a real threat and terror to our society, the system, the government and all other institutions that are attempting to kill it. Without complete uncensored freedoms to explore all boundaries and beyond of complete expression, it will become meaningless and completely arbitrary ... Most bands or performers are not willing to give their lives for what they believe in ... so obviously they cannot truly believe in what they do or say ... they go so far and then retreat. But I refuse to ever retreat or compromise in any way. I never have and I never will.
Most bands are content to rehash themselves or to retread what I have already laid down the groundwork on and paved the road for and I've gone way beyond. That's why I [am] the commanding leader of the Rock 'N' Roll underground, and all others are nothing more than phony impostors. My track record speaks for itself ... Rock 'N' Roll is nothing anymore ... It needs to be destroyed and taken over by the real outcasts and nonconformists. We need to create a Rock 'N' Roll war ... Blood must be spilled and people in the music business power seats must be killed off.
SUICIDE
If your life really does have meaning it can also cease to have meaning. Then what good are you ... The only meaning to the universe is in your own head. Your are in control of your own self. Suicide is your last reward and final thrill ... Don't be cheated of it. It is the final climactic adventure - I will commit suicide on stage when I have finally reached my peak. When I am dead my blood will poison the universe + then my soul will come back and reclaim it ...
