When I was getting into punk I had some friends who were obsessed with GG Allin. They would buy videos from Merle Allin and my friend Francis would go into a studio and record entire sessions of himself doing Murder Junkies songs one man band style. He would send these tapes off to Merle and eventually he went to a one of their post GG gigs where the singer was too wasted to sing. He took the stage and became a Murder Junkie and did a few tours with them. I always thought that GG was a no talent hack who shit on his audience to make up for it. In the last few years, the stuff that he did with the Jabbers in his early days have easily become probably some of my favorite punk tunes. Check out this killer live set.
