Who is GG Allin?

Perhaps one of the most controversial names in the world of rock music, GG Allin was the symbol of rebellion and danger. He is till date remembered for his unconventional, notorious behaviour on stage that included indecent exposure, self-mutilation and harming audiences. A total anti-authoritarian, Allin’s music had many elements of lawlessness, substance abuse and violence. This infamous punk icon was arrested over 52 times on accounts of assault and indecent expose. He became a victim of substance abuse and depended heavily on alcohol. While many believe that his erratic behaviour was due to his troubled childhood and mentally unstable father, others speculate that he suffered from personality disorders that aggravated due to substance abuse. Nevertheless, Allin attracted large number of audiences for his musical performances. He released several albums in the spoken word style and traditional style rock, the lyrics of which were often known to be politically incorrect. He is referred to as ‘the most spectacular degenerate in rock & roll history'. Unfortunately, he lost his life at a young age of 36 to heroin overdose.

Childhood & Early Life

He was born as Jesus Christ Allin in Lancaster, New Hampshire, U.S to Merle Colby Allin, Sr. and Arleta Gunther. His family had no access to water or electricity in the log cabin they lived in.

His father did not prefer to socialise much and at times was rather unstable in his behaviour. The family was forbidden to have conversations after dark. Though these childhood experiences are perceived to have had an effect on his later personal issues, he denied the same.

Due to his father’s unstable mental condition, his mother filed for a divorce. During this period, he and his brother were raised in East St. Johnsbury, Vermont, by their mother and stepfather.

In school, he did not excel academically and had to attend special education classes. It is also believed that he had difficulty fitting in and was bullied by other students.

During the mid-teenage years of his life he collaborated with his brother, Pinky and formed the band named, ‘Little Sister's Date'. The band played popular hard rock songs of that time but broke-up in about a year.

In 1975, he graduated from Concord High School in Concord, Vermont. Soon after, he became a part of the band named, ‘Malpractice’, for which he played the drums.

After 'Malpractice' separated in 1977, he became the drummer for the band 'Stripsearch'. He later played the drums and performed vocals for the punk rock band, ‘The Jabbers'.
