SWEDISH SCUM BRINGS YOU PROUDLY...

Some of the reviews GG's got from the media during the years.
"all reviews are good, especially the the bad ones"

GG’s stupid, but there’s good guitar bits.
John Holmstrum. Punk Mag. NY 1979


Not an inkling of intelect talent or innovation.
Subway News. Boston Mass. 1979


Tremendous amounts of bashing, screaming power cords
and bored with the world lyrics.
Sweet Potato Paper. Boston Mass. 1979


There’s no ignoring GG Allin with his punk fast statement.
Rock Scene Mag.NY NY 1980


We gotta keep this spirit happening.
Wayne Kramer Ex Mc5 1980


Of course I love this. Allin is a prototypical adolecent boy.
But don’t blame me if you don’t like him, cause I never said I had taste.
Inside Joke Zine. NH 1981


GG puts out music for the body, for those times when the mind needs a rest.

This punk Napolion leaves me speechless.
He makes fun of everything including you and your sister.
Peru Zine SF Calif. 1981


Rough and tough Rock N Roll.
Chaus Zine. Pelham NY 1981


GG got kicked out of the Rat in Boston recently, because of his behavior
and strong right blow to Endlands (P.I.L. Drummer) Brian Brain.
Preview Paper. Lawrence Mass. 1981


I usualy deplore cock rockers and mindless morons in general,
but GG is the leader in this field. Maybe he can get rude and down
right bad, but when he’s good, don’t I miss out.
No Fashion Mag. Tulsa Okla. 1981


GG Allin is the fuckingest asshole in the whole world.

throughout New England because of his stage antics & his loud, crewd behavior.
Take It Mag. Boston Mass. 1981


GG Allin carries on the true nihilist spirit violently opposing anything
considered decent by society. They will offend. GG is a cross
between Iggy Pop, Stiv Bators and God knows what else.
Ripper Mag. San Jose Calif. 1981


GG Allin is an enemy of the State.
NH Liquor Commissioner. 1981


Toilet rock. GG excells at the disgusting and offensive.
He has a good future as an alarmest Rock N Roll.
Kim Fowley. Producer Musician 1981


GG began crawling around on the floor like some parastic reptile just out
of it’s lightless covern. He was covered with spit and beer and dirt.
Two guys actually walked up on the stage and urinated on him and
through it all GG seemed oblivious. Behind him the band fired off
high tension noise, fast, distorted and dangerous while GG screamed
few anaudible lines, broke the mike and started diding on to tables.
There is a propensity for violence that is generated through GG Allin’s music.
NH Times. Durham NH 1982


GG Allin makes music not for your pleasure but for your discomfort.
Catch 22 Zine. London Eng. 1982


There’s lot of action on the local scene led by the Rings
and NH’s own GG Allin.
The Boston Globe. Boston MA 1982


Easily the crudest and dumbest since the Rotters. Vintage punk.
Like the Dead Boys the mediun at least makes the message or lack there of.
Trouser Press Mag. NY NY 1982


A good source told me that GG ate the first cockroach he saw
when he got to NYC. One of the many antics GG is known for.

Sex craxed punks living in a winter wonderland.
Faltdisc News. LA Calif. 1982

This guy probably fucked his older sister and ate dog shit or something
and wants whatever image and decadence you want to foist him to.

Heavy Metal, punk idiocy full of sexist drive. A real asshole with a capitol A.
Tribal Noice. NY NY 1982


Raw, frenetic, rough, brutal and stupid.
Sweet Potato Papier. Boston Mass. 1982


Two of New Englands primal screamers Mach Bell and GG Allin are back.
Those of you who have seen GG are no doubt aware of the madmans
penchant for fast living and oral copulation in general.

Prime punk rock replete with silly boy lyrics delivered by
GG and non stop guitar thrashing.

He no doubt is a sick puppy.
Touch and Go Zine. Wash. DC 1982


Fast, raw, slappy and killer.
Inner Mystique Zine. Stillwater Okla. 1982


GG Allin is a wildman on stage. He can alienate an entire audience
and empty a club faster than a truckload of cops.
Chainsaw Mag. Beth Pa 1982


GG’s quest for show and music reach for the max.
His live performances suggest frenetic, erotic frustration.
Prov Rock Fancine. Prov.RI 1982


GG Allin since the death of William Leob is the only madman left in
Manchester. He provided the evenings comic relief by beaming a
bystander with a flying beer bottle bringing the club owner to
ban the band from streets.
Take It Mag. Boston Mag. 1982


GG Allin had to be removed from the stage at the Frolics in Salisbury Beach
by members of the Salisbury Police Dept. GG who at the time was squirming
around on some broken glass says the show was just getting started.
Preview Paper. Lawrence Mass. 1982


Over the Channel we watched the crowd cover GG Allin with their saliva.
Noise Zine. Boston Mass. 1982


New musik is really not that bizzare. Bizzare is GG Allin who spits
at the crowd and bills himself as Public Animal No. 1.
Sunday Journal News. Prov. RI 1982


A guy not known for his subtlety.
Oedipus. WBCN Radio Boston 1982


NH’s irrepressible animal. You would be harder pressed to find many
harder driving bands than this. But my critisism still stands.
Great music, sad attitude.
Boston Rock Mag. Boston Mass. 1982


GG shouting obscenities over murky musicianship.
OP Mag. Olympia WA. 1983


GG really knows how to trash. Sick but great.
Malice Zine. Memphis Tenn. 1983


Not since Iggy Pop with the exception of Stiv Bators when he
was in the Dead Boys, has anybody engendered so much
physical hostility at an audience.
Mykel Board. Writer/Producer. NY. 1983


GG was a horror show. His face went blank, his mouth hung
agape if hegot near the crowd, They pushed him, spit on him
and draggedhim around like a piece of meat.

GG Allin the scumsucking dog of NH recently got himself
into big trouble with Don Law.

relaxing in a Lowell Mass. jail for inciting a riot, disorderly conduct &
obscenities while waiting to go on stage at the Univ. of Lowell MA.
Boston Rock Mag. Boston Mass. 1983


The bowel movement of punk.
Flipside Mag. Wittier Calif. 1983


GG Allin is furious, sensless and outspoken. GG puts an honor
into using bad language and insulting everyone.
Expressen Daily Newspaper. Stockholm Sweden 1983


GG rants and raves and acts like an animal over raw buzzsaw trash.
His general purpose Fuck You is as tired as it is immature. As if he’ll
ever be guilty of high brow entertainment.
Trouser Press Mag. NY NY 1983


GG’s great and he’s sexy and I’d like to produce him.
Genya Ravan. Singer, Producer 1983


I really don’t understand this guys attitude.
Hamsterama Zine 1983


Mr. Allin’s performance quality seems quite disorted. Girls giving him head,
no rules and apeing the master stooge during his heroin heyday.
Degenerate and sick.
Transmission Zine. Winnipeg Man. Canada 1983


Imbecillic. You probably have to see GG live to get the
full affect of his tastleness.
Max Rock N Roll Berk. Calif. 1983


GG is the most exiting performer in punk and continues to separate the
men from the boys with his music and his lifestyle.
Inner Mystique Zine. Stillwater Okla. 1983


This guy always was, is and still is one of the wildest most sexiest rovers
of the Iggy Detroit Super Charge School, easily matching the Dead Boys
at their most anoxious, but with more slash and burn eneriy. It stinks
and it’s not pretty but it’s a convincing genere exercize.
Trouser Press Book, NY NY 1983

GG is a constant reminder of how absured people can be.
Max. Rock N Roll. Berk. Calif. 1983


Really the pits.. Not fit for scraping up dog droppings.
Absolutely vomitose. Serves him right. HE SUCKS.
New Paper. Prov. AI 1983


A perfect tonic for those who feel Iggy has gotten to mature.
OP Mag. Olympia WA 1983


A true spokesman for our generation. One of the few
truely depraved Rock'N'Roll hero’s and real men left.
I think GG is the second cumming of Christ.
Suburban Punk Zine. Boston Mass 1984

You usually only read about shows like this. GG headlined at Brothers
in Sept. GG hit the stage twice that night and belive me, everything you
read about this guy is tru. He is nonstop motion and gestures.
He rolls around on the stage and he couses much commmotion. GG can
now add Brothers to his banned from list. After repeated warnings
to calm down the show were ignored, the clubowner stopped
the show midway through the second set.
New Age Zine. New Haven Conn. 1983

GG invites crowd hostility. His new songs are ranting set to indifferent music
and incourages a contemt between the performer and his audience.
Derry Daily News. Derry NH 1984


Fast, obnoxious, tough, ballistic guitars, crashing and trashy.
The lyrics are intelligible and not to be confused with intelligent.
This is especially annoying.
OP Mag. Olympia WA 1984


GG and the Scumfucks will blister your eardrums, definatly not for the
squeamish. They have also been known to piss on people.

Johnny Ramone. Ramones 1984


Where’s the pervert.
Steve Jones Ex Sex Pistols 1984


I propose a toast. A toast to the fuckups and misfits. The troublemakers
and the monkey wrench throwers and those who puke at black tie parties
with a gulp each to Bob Noxious. Tesco Vee. GG Allin and anyone who
stumbles through life followed by crowds of screaming
people shaking there fists at them.
Max. Rock N Roll.Berk. CA. 1984


There is a good and bad side to everything with the primary exception being
GG Allin. Horrible, atonal matter made for avoiding. Try to hear none of his
tripe and you’ll be better off. Recommended only for the severly
retrospective, anal types who examine there own stool for a hobby.
New Paper. Prov. RI 1984


Like it or not GG represents the authentic spirit of Rock N Roll.
You would exect him to mellow out but he’s back and more
primative and disgusting as ever.
Max. Rock N Roll. Berk. CA. 1984


Mr. Allin is fascinated by only one thing. Unfortunately he assumes
we to are interested in how, and with whom, and how many
times he does it, and he’s wrong.
Boston Rick Mag. Boston Mass. 1984


GG Allin landed up on the floor, in the crowd and in poses that would
make anyone blush. Casbah owner had to pull the plug on the
Public Animal during an April gig much to the relief of Allin’s band.
Preview Paper. Lawrence Mass. 1984


GG Allin recently pulled a Jim Morrrison on stage at Manchester
NH’s Casbah that was so crude and tasteless that even his bandmates
won’t play with him anymore.
Boston Rock Mag. Boston Mass. 1984


GG Allin added to his reputation as a problem act with a rowdy,
uncontrollable set, that the management decided it had to shut down.
Allin’s pants stayed up more or less, but there was more punsch in the
crowd than in the band. And after one trip to many by Allin into the
crowd, the plug was pulled. This band can do better.
Derry NH Newspaper 1984

There is something prevertedly endeoring about his gross, loud and
crude stage act. GG incourages people to spit on him and abuse him
while he barks out. Seeing GG for the first time is like your first
ejaculation and one of those unforgettable experiences.
Suburban Punk Zine. Lynn Mass. 1984


My first exposure to GG Allin was nothing short of inspiring talk
about energetic. This guy never stops moving.

a seemingly impossible task.

As the performance progressed, however, he played some of his
music, then generally abused & exposed himself.

was charged with disorderly conduct.
