Swedish Scum brings you...
Always was, is and always shall be
GG ALLIN
" GG Allin was the real definition of Rock n
Roll Outlaw.
No one else will ever come close."
(Jeff Clayton 000223- Antiseen singer)
"When GG was in town anything exept the
ordinary things always happened,
he was a true man of
surprises."
(Stephen Lee 000229 - GG N.Y concert
viewer)
"GG Allin was a guy who like to get fucked
up, play
music and fling shit at punks who liked to get
fucked up, listen
to him, and have shit flung at them."
(Chris
"Critter" Lamy 000416- The Jabbers Guitarist 1980 - 1983)
"What GG did was no joke, although there was
a sense of humour behind it!
Laugh at him and you'd get a bottle or chair in
the face!
His ultimate goal was to destroy rock n roll and rebuild it in the
name of GG Allin."

British scum)

"GG didn't give a fuck what other people
think about him.
If somebody said "don't do that!" GG would do even
harder!..that's one thing
I love about him. He didn't stop what he was doing
and he took it all the way."
(Markie Sleeze 000428
- GG freak from Finland)
"Kevin Michael (GG) Allin was
pondering,confused and delusional just like most
humans living on this
marble.What made him special was his will,desire and courage
to follow his
rock n' roll dreams which for him gave his onstage and offstage
life
direction,meaning and a purpose.For this alone,he should be
admired."
(Steve S. 00428 - The Jabbers Guitarist 1983 - 1984)
"There is no doubt in my mind that GG was
for real. I admire him for his honesty.
There
never were and will never gonna be, anyone like him."
(Staffan F. 1994 - GG recordcollector from Sweden)

"GG was a powerful individual, mentally and
physically. that makes him a God. Comfort and "Every day (If not in jail or at hospital)
for more than 15 years GG did whatever he wanted to do "GG Allin was the freeist person in
rock'n'roll. He chose to live his life exactly as he wanted,
conformity didn't mean shit to
him. He saw society for what is was(and still is) lame and robotic.
He did
some of the coolest punk rock tunes ever. It's the best therapy of any kind
for someone alienated such as myself."
Scuz's got a longer
writing on GG here
with his life. He
crossed all laws & limits. He kept danger in the music & was a
outstanding
prophet of the independent underground. He never sold out as
most other so called punkbands.
He always paid the price of his deeds &
continued to be a true outlaw scumfuc 'til death.
He can never be replaced,
but his spirit will be hailed by followers forever"
when he wanted,
without restrictions. He paid the price for that choice."

"GG Allin was a good friend to his friends and a deadly enemy to his enemies.Long Live Scum Rock!"

"During the late 70's G.G. Allin used to
come into my recordshop here in Portland, Maine to personally deliver his
latest singles. He was a nice guy to deal with. Later, in the mid 80's, I
booked shows for a local club and gave GG a gig.
He got the crowd so upset,
the owner(Geno) had to escort him out the back door. It was a tough way to make
a living."
"He once told me that he loved the fact that
he could beat the shit out of people,
smear his own bodily fluids all over
them, and after the show, they would thank him.
He thought this was
the greatest thing in the world - that he could dole out such abuse and
be
lauded for it by the very people who were his victims. He also saw
the insane humor in that as well."

"Those Allin brothers are two of the nicest
boys you'd ever want to meet!"
(Julie the Half
Swede 1981 - early 80's friend in N.H)
"When i came to usa in 1988 because i was in
love with Lisa suckdog, i was very jealous because
she was in love with GG
Allin, so i did the LP Rape GG to destroy him. I did a voodoo doll
looking
like GG (which is on the cover of the LP) to try to put a spell on him so he
would
loose Lisa and die soon. And it worked!!! I married Lisa Suckdog and
GG died few years later."
(Costes 000625 - French
guy that released the weird "Rape GG" album 1988))
I scanned
the cover from the "Rape GG" album you can see it by clicking
here.
"I grew up skateboarding and listening to
punk, but never got into GG for some reason. Now Im 27 Ive become
drawn to
GG within the last months. Fuck I wish I knew about him when I was 15 or 16. He
was an incredible person.
I saw a band in a N.H church (yup).. The singer
said " There are two kinds of people in this world, the fucked and
the
fuckers!" I think G.G. would'a liked that. Cheers to a man that lived and died
by the sword. Long live the legend."
"When your head gets twisted and your mind
grows numb,
Thanks to Jeff Clayton for letting me use this classic drawing.
When you think you're too old, too young, too smart or too
dumb,
When you're lagging behind and losing your pace In a slow-motion crawl
or life's busy race,
No matter what you're doing if you start giving up, If
the wine don't come to the top of your cup,
If the wind's got you sideways
with one hand holding on and the other starts slipping, all the feeling is
gone."

Also
thanks to all the other guys for their contributes

any other girls with guts out there?
We'll see, maybe she broke the
barriers.
