(energetic drum music)

- I first went to see GG Allin and his band perform

at the Lizmar Lounge in New York City sometime in 1988.

The show began and ended with GG stumbling down the stairs

leading to the stage.

He had done too much heroin

and couldn't go through with the show.

But his fans managed to get their money's worth

by repeatedly kicking him

and breaking bottles over his head.

When I left the club he was still out cold

by the foot of the stairs.

After that GG spent a few years in jail

for assaulting a young woman in Michigan.

It was then that I met Merle, GG's brother and bass player,

and told him of my idea to do a documentary on GG.

He got me touch with GG,

who by now had completed two years of his sentence,

and was on parole in Michigan.

He liked the idea, and offered to skip parole

and head for New York to kick off a US tour.

I sent him a one-way bus ticket,

and he arrived the next day.

- Grab onto your bowels, you're about to meet your God.

You'll slide back, don't you know what you're gonna get

during the next 40 minutes or so.

So get down on your knees.

No, no, wait for that.

Right now, you're gonna hear the only true

rock and roller left in the world, GG Allin.

* The faggots with AIDS are all gonna fry

* You stuck it up an ass tonight now we're gonna die

* Die when you die when you die you're gonna die

- We the jury, find the defendant, Kevin Michael Allin,

guilty of disorderly conduct as charged in the complaint.

- With the narrow-minded hypocritical puppets in society

trying to kill rock and roll, and they can't do it.

* The KKK took them niggers out to die

* When the black meat's burnin' I hope he's gonna die

* Die when you die when you die you're gonna die

* Die when you die when you die you're gonna die

* I talked to my bitch but she was a guy

- (muffled) It's nothing new.

He's done the same thing over and over,

with 10 or 15 different bands.

Once, he even took a microphone

and slammed it into his clenched mouth,

breaking six of his own teeth.

* You got cancer so go fuckin' die

* If you got AIDS spread it around and take some lives

* Die when you die when you die you're gonna die

* Die when you die when you die you're gonna die

- Unk.

Yeah, my name's Unk.

What I like about GG is,

when I first discovered him,

it was a review of this video.

It said, watch GG stick a bottle in his ass.

Watch GG beat up his band members.

Watch GG take a shit and roll in glass.

I'm like, yeah this guy's cool.

This is punk rock.

So, I went and checked out a bunch of GG's stuff.

- You know it depends on the person he's around,

and what's going through his mind.

He can be normal one minute,

and he can turn on you like an animal in the next minute.

I think this tour will probably be,

the craziest tour yet.

It's just gonna be a total war.

Anything goes,

which pretty much

can sum up any GG tour.

You never really know what's gonna happen,

but you know you've gotta be prepared,

for the worst.

- In your future, what about plans?

- Stay one step ahead of the law.

I don't know, I don't think about the future.

I think about what's happenin' today, I don't.

Fuck tomorrow.

I don't know, it's really not important.

As long as I don't get arrested today.

Whatever, just fuck it.

Whatever's happenin' today

is the only thing that really matters.

Tomorrow, we'll get there when we get there.

- As far as the whole tour.

Finishing the whole tour is,

you never plan on going on the road.

You never plan on finishing the whole tour.

- Why's that?

- Usually,

there's two reasons.

Prison -- or the hospital.

(punk music)

The current lineup

for GG Allin and the Murder Junkies is,

of course, GG,

myself on bass,

Bill Weber on guitar,

and vocals, and

Dino is on drums.

Dino's the perfect drummer for this band because,

he's just a

total, hard-hitting psycho.

You know, doesn't care about anything

but just playing his drums.

He doesn't really know what's goin' on.

He's just there,

he keeps the beat,

he's a pounder,

and he's fuckin' psycho.

He's perfect for the band.

- Dino, tell me something about yourself.

What are you like?

- What am I like?

Why, I'm just peace and love,

in the midst of all violence.

And I am free, legal, and innocent.

Squid, Theo, Gina, Sindi, Becky,

Lunachicks are number one.

GG Rock,

Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Brook.

- Dino, the naked drummer.

Dino believes

that he's immortal.

He believes he's free of all law.

And he believes he's

telepathically connected to the Lunachicks.

And he believes that they love him.

And Dino's

done time for exposing himself to people.

- What about that?

- Dino exposed his schwing to a little girl,

and did time,

and later when asked about it,

said, ah, I was just teasin' her.

- I don't always play naked.

Sometimes I do it, or most of the time.

There are physical reasons for it.

Because of,

if I wear clothing,

I play very heavily,

and I sit very hard on the drum seat and I,

irritate my skin,

severely sometimes and it

really hurts and if I sit on plastic

or on a good vinyl seat,

with nothing underneath, I don't get hurt.

That's basically the main reason.

Then there's also the fact

that it's a thrill to the audience.

And it is often requested,

because I have done it, and I am known to play naked,

so when people see me they ask me to play naked,

in the audience and things like that.

- The whole thing was supposed to last

maybe a year or two.

It was just something that I wanted to get out of me.

And as the thing escalated and went on,

I realized that there was just so much more

that I had to do.

And the more I did, the more I wanted to do.

I just said, fuck it.

I'm gonna just take over the world.

So at that point, I had begun to lose band members,

because I just outgrew everybody that I ever played with.

Everybody, it got to the point where I was just,

uncontrollable, and the Jabbers dissolved,

because they couldn't control me,

no matter what I said, I do what I wanted to do.

- So, you toured with the band.

What made you decide

to quit GG Allin and the Murder Junkies?

- Well, the band is going nowhere.

I don't believe in GG anymore.

I don't believe in what he's doing.

I don't think he's doing anything,

except like just doing shows.

Occasionally, something interesting will happen.

On a whole, the band,

it was more or less boring.

- It's been said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder,

and nowhere is that more true

than in my studio today.

Let's meet these artists now,

and we'll also meet those who feel their work

is nothing but smut.

This is GG Allin.

GG is a rock and roller

who makes the most wild punk groups pale in comparison.

I don't know if you'll recall this,

but he made the news recently, GG did,

when it was revealed that he relieved himself

on stage, live.

Why GG, did you feel a need to

to defecate in front of a live audience?

- Well, my body is the rock and roll temple.

And my flesh, blood, and body fluids,

are a communion to the people,

whether they like it or not.

I'm not out to please anybody.

My rock and roll is more

not to entertain, but to annihilate.

I'm trying to bring danger back into rock and roll.

And there are no limits, and no laws.

And I'll break down every barrier put in front of me,

until the day I die.

(cheers)

- The applause, in case you are curious,

is coming from a

GG Allin fan club there in the first two rows.

Notice, the cool mustache on the third guy in,

on the first row.

You get a shot of him?

- Merle.

- What's his name?

- That's my brother, Merle.

He's my bass player for the Murder Junkies.

- Oh is it? Alright.

Great, I love that mustache is really

a happening, happening.

- About a week before the first show,

I found myself driving in a rental van,

with GG, Merle, and the band's newest addition,

Dee Dee Ramone.

- Dee Dee, what made you decide to join the Murder Junkies?

- So that's the name?

I didn't know that was the name.

I thought it was the GG Allin band.

I joined it 'cause I wanted to have some fun,

and play a little.

And not have any responsibility.

- We had been drinking heavily,

and as we drove down 9th Avenue,

GG opened up the van door and began

throwing beer bottles at some hookers.

I wasn't worried because I knew at 30 miles an hour,

he was too drunk to hit anything,

let alone a prostitute.

One week later, Dee Dee quit the band,

claiming it had nothing to do with that incident.

That night we decided to set up a solo performance

for GG at New York University.

I got the okay from university officials,

and that Thursday, we set up to film

at the Loeb Student Center.

- We're gonna play with a banana today.

The name of the song's Dead Fuck.

Watch.

Are you hungry?

(laughter)

Okay, now.

Everybody all get naked.

Everybody get their, powerful clothing.

Worn powerful clothing.

Anything.

You got your head up here in a cloud.

More power.

You can have the leftovers.

Worn powerful clothing.

They're leaving.

You can tell who the fuckin' sissies are.

Alright, no clothing.

Give me some clothing, now.

Or I'm out of here.

Something up here.

So I'll have a little (muffled) pee (muffled).

Don't all leave now.

Shit, you are.

Talk about it.

Come on, don't leave so soon.

See ya.

(confused yelling)

- Get him fucking out.

Shut that fucking (muffled), now.

* Fuck the law

* Kill kill kill kill them motherfucking asses

* Fuck authority fuck authority

* Kill the president and seniority

- I thought he was gonna cry.

He was like smiling, but I swear,

I thought he was gonna start crying.

(audience chanting)

- Don't even start.

Don't even think about it.

(muffled) very serious.

The filming is finished.

- Definitely was whacky when he was (muffled).

- GG Allin is God.

- I think,

what pisses off people,

authority figures, as far as GG is concerned,

is the fact that,

he absolutely does not give a fuck,

about what they stand for.

He hates what they stand for.

Whether it's even thought about or not,

he just hates the fact that they stand for

what they indeed stand for, that authority.

He hates that more than anything.

And, that goes from parents to teachers,

and especially cops.

- Merle, what do you think made GG rebel?

- I think

just growing up,

being different,

and having everybody laughing at him.

And, you know, he didn't really get along with anyone,

growing up, especially through school.

It's probably made him

hate just about everyone.

He pretty much does hate everyone.

I think he just basically,

he started rebelling

right from the beginning.

As soon as he started playing music,

and started listening to more obscure bands.

He'd go to high school wearing women's clothing.

- I hate you motherfuckers.

I hate you motherfuckers.

I hate you motherfuckers.

I hate you motherfuckers.

I hate you motherfuckers.

I hate you motherfuckers.

(drums)

- Well, I mean we grew up in a small town,

that basically consisted of

farmers and rednecks and jocks.

Nobody was into music.

- Well, my first impressions, Allin.

That he would be easy to get along with.

He didn't pose a problem,

in the classroom.

You know, by city standards, I think,

we're slow.

Everything comes to this area,

after it's been well worked over

in the urban environment.

And then it finally gets here.

So you could say,

in that respect,

to a degree, we're behind in fashion,

and this sort of thing.

And to an extent, culture, lack culture.

- Can you play that?

- This thing?

- On the recorder.

- Okay.

(loud punk music)

- Everybody in a city, or in urban area's

in everybody else's way.

But here, there's plenty of space.

Nobody need be crowded.

Physically or emotionally.

- Do you think GG felt crowded?

- Yeah, I would say.

And everybody always suspicioned,

Allin, and others like,

that were in that crew were always users of drugs,

users of drugs, and etc.

But, not for sure.

* I want to kill my parents

* I want to take their life

* I want to kill my brother

* And kill my ex-wife

* I want to kill the president

* Kill the niggers too

- I remember one night,

it was like two in the morning,

and we were stopped at Dunkin' Donuts or something,

and his brother Merle,

slipped a hit of acid into one of his Dunkin' munchies.

And he never did drugs.

Never smoked pot, or drank, or anything.

We were all experimenting back then,

but he never did.

- Merle's fault.

- I was trying to goad him into doing something like that,

but never succeeded.

And his brother finally stuck it,

a hit of acid in one of those munchies.

He did some strange things that night.

- Like?

- Well, actually, tear up an apartment,

take all his clothes off,

kicked the walls in,

just went nuts.

We tried to calm him down,

and he was pesterin' his brother,

he was gonna try to kill his brother Merle.

- I can't imagine,

liking to bleed like he does.

Fuck, you know Leo, he's standing over there.

He's a butcher by trade,

and I'm used to seeing blood, you know what I mean?

But why fucking beat your own head in?

That's what you get married for.

(laughter)

- Boy, is that the truth, brother.

- What animal Kevin would be?

Knowing about him now, I'd say a wolverine.

He has an insatiable appetite.

He always kills and eats more,

or kills more than he needs to sustain himself.

In other words, he's excessive.

And I guess that relates to what

Kevin might be doing now.

Dealing in music, is excessiveness,

of the punk era.

A weasel does the same thing.

The weasel family.

Same thing.

- As far as the music we were doing,

It was regular high school band.

He was just one of the drummers.

- Describe GG to me.

What's the best way to describe him?

- God, Jesus, and Satan rolled into one.

- You believe that?

- Yes, that's how he describes himself.

- How would you describe him?

- Extremely outrageous and beautiful person.

Likes to have fun.

No holds barred, no limits.

If it was up to him, he would do anything he can do,

and that includes everything,

just to make himself and others laugh.

And he's also a serious social comment on

the problems of violence in the human race.

You see there's far too much violence,

not enough sweetness,

and that's basically,

if you ask me, what his whole act

centers on.

- While we were sitting in a bar one night in Boston,

a bunch of us just trying to be left alone,

and this woman came over,

and started asking GG a bunch of stupid questions,

and you know, just bothering him.

After we tried to get her to leave,

and she wouldn't leave,

GG ended up putting a cigarette out in her face,

and throwing her halfway across the bar,

into a bunch of tables,

and we all ended up gettin' thrown out of the bar.

It just goes to show that

when GG's around people

that he doesn't feel comfortable with,

or just doesn't want to deal with,

anything can happen.

- Myself, I don't look at GG as a leader.

GG, I do believe GG hates everybody.

And I think a lot of people pick up on that,

because a lot of people,

especially like me,

filled with a lot of shit,

that maybe even if I don't ever get it out myself,

he's gettin' it out for me.

I can do it vicariously through him.

Like my band, I'd never go on stage

and take a dump and throw it at people.

But GG's doing it.

I think, because GG's doing it,

and the reason why people follow him is,

he's doing something that a lot of people

wish they had the fuckin' balls to do.

And, there you go.

- Fuck it, it's like the whole thing

with society today,

you know, go to school, get a job, get married,

and have kids, and take out loans,

and dig a fuckin' hole you can never get out of.

And to me, that's just the way of the government,

chaining you down,

so that you can never get out of their grip.

It's somebody like me, who can do whatever they want.

I never have to pay taxes.

I fuck whoever I want.

I can go here, I can go there.

If somebody calls me, I can go tomorrow.

I don't have to think about,

well, I gotta take care of this.

I can just go.

That's the only way to fuckin' live.

People are just so fucking concerned about stupid shit.

- Give us, we'll bleep it,

as we have been bleeping

everything you've been saying up until now,

but give us an example of a lyric.

Can you give us a lyric?

- Well, we've got one called, I Love Nothing.

I'm a cold (bleep) nothing will hitch.

I was a fetus-infected son of a (bleep).

People and possessions only slow me down.

I'm on a burning bridge,

you're in my way, you're going down.

(laughter and applause)

- Again, I point out for the record, that

GG Allin's fan--

the name of GG's band incidentally is

the Murder Junkies band.

The Murder Junkies band,

could you show John right there the tattoo on your--

it looks hand-done.

- On what?

- On your chest.

I got it (bleep),

with fast dye.

- The only difference between a tattoo that I would get,

and a tattoo that GG would get,

is that I pay for mine.

(laughter)

- Who does GG's tattoos?

- Ask him.

He probably couldn't even tell you.

- Oh, he doesn't do them himself?

- No, he gets,

he used to get rip-roaring drunk,

and whoever was around with

ink and a needle,

whatever they thought about puttin' on him,

that's what he'd get.

You ever see any of my brother's tattoos?

- Rude and crude.

- Oh yeah.

The kind of tattoos that wouldn't work

for anybody else but GG.

GG has no place in society.

He's pretty much

taken over

doing exactly what he wants to do.

Society has no place for GG.

I mean he's just a --

- What about his fans?

- His fans' place in society?

I have no idea.

I don't know if they know themselves.

- I think a typical GG fan is probably

somebody that drinks a lot.

- Are you a typical fan?

- I guess you could say I may be a typical fan,

because I do drink a lot,

and I pretty much think about everything he does

is totally fuckin' hilarious.

I mean, a lot of people get scared,

or too scared to go to GG shows.

After they go see one they might be scared.

But the thing is, that's why you're there.

And to me, that's like comedy,

going to see him.

As long as he ain't jumpin' off on my ass.

If he's beatin' up other people,

and throwin' his shit at others, I'm happy.

'Cause I don't want none of it on me.

I just learned quick where to go,

once he hits the fuckin' stage.

It's behind him.

- If there's zen in it all,

it's going there, and contributing to the bad karma,

which everybody around him,

he just seems to attract people with the worst attitudes,

and like just the biggest losers on the planet.

They just flock to him like a magnet.

If he had any kind of sense,

he would rally these people like troops,

with some kind of like bogus religion.

Put drugs in their food, half starve them to death,

and send them out on the street, begging money.

But, he doesn't,

because he's very small-minded,

and instead he just has these people

come to rock and roll shows,

and throws chairs at them.

Breaks bottles on his head,

smash himself in the head with a microphone,

and then,

he runs through the crowd naked,

and he eats his own shit, big deal.

- Everybody's an enemy.

Fuck it, I hate everybody.

I'm not part of any scene.

I do my own thing.

My mind's a machine gun.

My body's the bullets.

The audience, is the target.

- Entertainment,

laughs,

even the fear thing,

because there's been a couple of GG shows

where I was definitely afraid that

my skull was gonna be cracked at any minute.

It's that whole thing,

it's kind of like going to see

the most bizarre freak show

you'd ever want to see in your life.

Why do people go to freak shows?

- He's got some real diehard fans.

He's got fans that would,

that would probably kill themselves,

with him if he wanted, you know.

I've had plenty of people

say to me, well

I'm gonna be standing right in the front row,

when GG kills himself.

And hopefully he'll take me with him.

I think that's a pretty, hardcore fan right there.

- Okay, so last August, it was GG's birthday,

and he'd just gotten in town.

Hung out with him a little bit,

and went to the first show in Jersey and said,

let's throw a birthday party for GG,

a cookout at my house.

Me and Lenny bought a bunch of meat, a bunch of beer,

and we bought GG's Jim Beam.

GG comes over, and before he came, he said,

I'm not coming to Brooklyn unless you're gonna get a girl

to piss or shit in my mouth.

I said okay, just come on over, we'll get somebody,

'cause there's all these crack whores

right around the place where I was livin'.

We figurin', I'll get somebody.

You know, GG'll pay 'em 50 bucks if he has to.

We'll get somebody.

It turns out this girl I know,

who's like an especially frisky type,

was there, and I turned to her and I said, Jennifer,

you want to piss in G, wait, whoa.

I fucked up, I really shouldn't like say her name.

- Mark it.

- So this girl I know that was there.

I said to her, I said look,

would you take a piss in GG's mouth?

And she goes, yeah.

And I said, do you mind if Merle films it?

She goes, no, not at all.

So, I moved them into the bathroom,

and GG lays down on the floor,

and she strips off all her clothes and she squats.

And it's great because she's got a pierced clit

and everything too.

So it looked really good.

And she just starts pissin' in mouthfuls,

and GG's laying there drinkin' it, and like, (guzzle sounds)

and then, on like the third gulp, he got down,

this is the best part,

he just absolutely like upchucked, and puked,

all the barbecued weenies and burgers

he had been eatin' at the cookout,

up all over his face,

and then took another mouthful of piss,

and he was a pretty happy boy after that.

I mean, I felt good about him

not even having to pay out his money.

And I got the girl to piss on him for his birthday.

- Is that it?

Am I off?

- You're off.

- I don't want to be off.

Put it all on, anybody else?

Come on.

(applause)

I'm not done yet.

- (Muffled) fuckin' fucked, so fuck it.

- I wanna be fucked.

- Who's my am.

- This skin is like paper.

- It's like my stage show balances me out,

because if it wasn't for what I do on stage,

I would probably

be a mass murderer.

I know I'd kill somebody,

because I have such a fierce, intense,

fire burning inside of me,

that just so much, just wants to explode.

- GG, at least at one time claimed that he related to Gacy,

like, just because of the fact that Gacy

was the most notorious of all American serial killers.

And he's the most easily accessible.

I mean, you can just write to the guy,

and he'll write you back.

And GG had actually gone to visit him.

Which is pretty funny bringin' up Gacy.

I went to visit Gacy one summer

like about a week after GG had been there.

And Gacy said to me, he goes,

that GG man, great kid, I like that guy a lot,

love him like a brother, but man if he doesn't stink

like the worst, pissiest ass wino I've ever met in my life.

- What do you think they talked about?

- Gacy and GG?

Probably a lot of sex, 'cause no matter who you are,

if you go to visit Gacy you're gonna talk about sex all day.

Especially violent sex,

and anything that has to do with like

any kind of piss or anything.

You're gonna be talkin' about that.

Although first hand, I wouldn't actually know,

I've got a good idea what they were talkin' about.

Tyin' up young girls.

* I hear Mariachi static on my radio

* And the tubes they glow in the dark

* And I'm there with you in Ensenada

* But I'm here in Echo Park

* Carmelita hold me tighter

* I think I'm sinking down

* And I'm all strung out on heroin

* On the outskirts of town

* Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson

* And I went to meet my man

* He hangs out down on El Dorado Street

* At the county chicken stand

* Carmelita hold me tighter

* I think I'm sinking down

* And I'm all strung out on heroin

* On the outskirts of town

- I think GG is takin'

this sort of like, my father,

'cause my father, is like, very strange,

and very set in his ways,

and he's a total recluse,

and basically doesn't really associate with anyone.

He doesn't have any friends at all.

I think GG's basically

has turned out a lot like his father.

- My lifestyle,

pretty much consists of what you see.

I got one pair of pants.

I got a jacket, shirt.

Pretty much everything I own

will fit into a paper bag.

To me it seems like it's the only way to live.

If you gotta,

I'm the type of person

who always has to get out of town quick.

So, possessions really don't mean anything to me.

It's more of the fact that I need to move fast.

So I don't need anything.

That way,

they can never catch me.

- Can you tell me a little bit about your father?

- Well, he told my mother one day, that he wanted to

commit suicide with her.

Well, kill the two kids, and then commit suicide,

and she kind of blew it off,

and then one day,

he was down in the cellar, digging,

and he came up and she said,

what are you doin' down there,

and he told her to come down and see,

and he had four graves dug in the cellar.

Things like that.

And he would take the bed out, and set it on fire.

You know, bury things in the yard.

You know, just things like that.

- My last memory of my father is,

actually I don't really have

too many memories of him, because he was never really

around that much,

and when my parents split up,

we didn't see our father for years.

- This is news channel four at six.

- I will continue to fight,

and I will never back down to anybody.

They'll have to put me in jail for life.

- The jury returns a guilty verdict,

saying it's a crime, not art.

- My message is a message of rebellion.

I'm the voice of the young people in America.

The angst, I'm anchored in rebellion.

My message is from the street.

The people that are out there.

I take the street, and I put it on the stage.

- Allin also claims he will kill himself

on Halloween night, 1992,

as a sacrifice to rock and roll.

But this is not the first time,

he has made that specific threat.

- If I was giving my life to something

as big as rock and roll,

I'd be killing the president,

in the name of rock and roll.

I would be changing worlds of people,

instead of like making a small, minor dent,

as if I was throwing a quarter at a sheet of metal.

You know what I mean?

And he's like,

he's toying around with this underground thing.

He's not helping, he's not hurting.

He's not doing anything, he's just a spectacle.

He belongs in a circus.

- GG's been talking about killing himself on stage

for a while now.

And he keeps puttin' it off.

And a lot of people are like, starting to naysay,

and saying, ah he's never gonna do it,

he's never gonna do it.

I think,

that he probably will do it,

if somebody didn't end up

puttin' a bullet in his head first.

I think he will do it,

but God knows when he'd do it.

- Let me quote you.

As to what GG Allin says,

he really intends to go through with his suicide plan

remains to be seen.

What the fuck remains to be seen?

I may have gone to the fucking hospital,

and I may have done these things.

But I'm never fucking crying wolf.

When I say I'm gonna fucking kill myself,

on October 31st 1990,

I'm gonna fucking do it.

And no god damn bullshit Boston newspaper,

is gonna fuckin' tell me, that I'm crying wolf,

when I'm fucking dead.

This fucking newspaper

is full of fucking shit.

Burn with it, baby.

Bull-- why don't I what?

Why don't I what?

Do what?

Kill myself sooner?

Because it would have pleased you too much

you fucking cunt.

Come up here,

why don't you come right up here

to the mic and tell me that.

Come on.

Come on.

- You want me to?

- Yeah.

Why didn't I kill myself sooner?

Why don't you kill yourself sooner?

- Fuck you.

- Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Why didn't I kill myself sooner?

You fuckin'--

Fuck you.

I'd kill myself sooner.

Do you want me to kill myself sooner?

Well, you're gonna have to wait.

Because I ain't gonna kill myself on anybody's benefit.

Take your fucking newspapers,

take whatever you got.

Oh yeah, do that.

Take the barrel off, bring on the posse.

- What's the reason for it?

- Well, it's like my soul is just,

it's just beyond this fucking universe, it's like,

it can't be confined,

it's like I got this wild soul.

It wants to get out of this life.

It's too confined in this life,

and I think that

to take yourself out,

at your peak,

if you can die at your peak, your strongest point,

then your soul will be that much stronger,

in the next existence.

- Well I feel that

if that's what he wants to do, it's his life.

People are always sayin', well why don't you

try and talk him out of it.

But, if you know GG, the way I do,

you can't talk GG out of doing anything that he wants to do.

It doesn't really matter what anybody thinks,

because he doesn't really care what anyone thinks,

about what he does.

Bottom line is, if he wants to do it,

he's gonna do it.

- Do you think people are gonna die?

- I'm not gonna answer that.

I don't want to answer that.

(crowd noise)

(muffled conversation)

- Asshole.

(sirens)

- Gee Gee!

(sirens)

- GG evaded the police that night,

and the next morning, the Murder Junkies left New York

to complete their US tour.

They headed down the east coast,

and we eventually lost contact.

I don't know if GG was born this way,

or if society created him,

but I do know that the Murder Junkies

and their fans are exceptional.

They represent a part of America

that most people would rather not think about.

An alienated, directionless, minority,

that appears to have found it's voice,

in a punk rocker with a death wish.

The band made it as far as San Antonio, Texas,

where 15 of GG's fans jumped him and broke his arm.

He was taken into police custody,

and the tour ended.

(phone rings)

- Hello.

- This is Sprint, with a collect, long distance, call from--

- Yeah, Todd, its GG Allin,

- calling from a Michigan Correctional Facility.

Please answer the following question,

by pressing one, for yes,

or two, for no.

Will you pay for this call?

(beep)

* When I die put that bottle in my hand

* All these years on earth, it was my only friend

- What do girls look at?

What were you saying?

- Girls look at men just like men look at women.

They like to look at what you have.

What you look like.

Well he's not lowering the camera.

* All my life I've been living on the run

* Hanging out in bars and hotel rooms annoying everyone

* Living on the road running from coast to coast

* Spending many nights in jail, like a gunman at his post

* When I die, you don't have to cry

- If GG was gun, which would he be?

- Shit he'd have to be a .45.

After a while he'd like to blow his fuckin' load heavy.

(laughter)

- I'd say he's more like an Uzi.

- An Uzi.

- Fast and furious, the ultimate.

- I was gonna say, 300 magnum.

- 300 magnum.

- Yep.

* Live my life like a loner on the trail

* Some of the nights in jail, I couldn't afford no bail

* No one to call, no one to see me through

* So I bought a gun one day and I came gunning after you

* Living on the road, playing scumfuc rock 'n' roll

- And as far as hittin' yourself in the head with

a microphone GG, it's just not that big of a fuckin' deal.

No big deal.

Doesn't hurt that bad.

Alright, am I good?

- On July 28th, 1993,

GG Allin's mission came to a sudden end.

The day before, GG and the band

gave their most violent performance ever.

A bloody, all ages show at the Gas Station in New York City

that ended with over 100 fans rioting

throughout the surrounding neighborhood.

After the show, GG and some friends went to a party,

where they began an all-night binge on alcohol and heroin.

The next morning, Merle called with some disturbing news.

They found GG face down, dead from a drug overdose.

At the funeral, Joe Coughlin, GG's biographer,

had this to say.

- It must have been a lonely place you lived in,

because for every indulgence,

there was something else he denied himself

as a means to the end.

He accomplished what he did,

right here in our faces, in real time,

with little help from any tool outside his own mind.

These things can't be denied.

Could we have learned more if he was still around?

Did we in fact learn anything?

Hope we meet again.

* Your god fucked me in the ass

* Jesus Christ sucked my fuckin' ass

* Your bible is such a piece of trash

* I am the highest power, the leader of the pack

* Hail Mary is so full of shit

* Virgin Mary I'll rape that fucking clit

* Jesus Christ was the son of a bitch

* I am the highest power, the leader of the pack

* Your church, let's burn it to the ground

* Priests and nuns, let's put them in the ground

* We don't need those lames to hold us back

* I am the highest power, the leader of the pack

- Personally I always hoped

he would go out in a more glorious fashion.

Onstage suicide, five dead fans,

something rock and roll could never ignore.

Instead, GG Allin, public animal number one,

died like a rock star,

in typical rock star fashion.
