GG Allin Help

rutabowa

LOSE IT
does anyone know what LP/7' "Bite It You Scum" came from? if anyone has a copy to sell even better.
here's a video (not entirely work safe)
 
He's so rude. There really is no need.

He was so much nicer in those first songs you mailed me. "just button your lip"
 
this band did a cover of it on saturday night, it was like having GG in the room, without all the unpleasantness of course.
 
wow. if you get the DVD of the documentray about him "Hated" there is a special feature which is a camcorder recording of before, during and after that last gig, following him walkign round new york trying to buy the drugs taht killed him later that night.
cool eh.
 
i dunno if it was at cbgbs it looked more like it was in a room in a scrapyard!
that album is pretty excellent thanks for posting it
 
oh here i found a thing about the last gig, sounds good:–

"Out of control from the get-go, he attacked the crowd with a vengeance that was extreme even for Allin. He viciously cracked several people in the face with his microphone, drawing blood, and knocked one photographer unconscious with his own camera. In the middle of his second song, Allin defecated on the stage, picked up the excrement, and rubbed it on himself and on a woman in the audience. When soundman John Credo then pulled the plug on the show, Allin hurled himself into a set of French doors, sending shattered glass and splintered wood flying. While Allin stumbled about covered in blood from head to toe, the audience began to riot, stampeding into the courtyard, throwing chairs and pieces of metal and bottles from a recycling bin. The bouncers who were hired as security began beating people trapped inside the small performance space with socks filled with metal or rocks. Nervous about his equipment, Credo retreated to his truck and returned to threaten patrons with his pit bull. Allin beat a hasty retreat, putting on a white miniskirt he borrowed from his 17*-year-old girlfriend, Liz Mankowski."

I think he crossed a line there. Somewhere.
 
If you'd just like a CD that has the song on then you could plump for Hated in the Nation. I think it's like a collected singles deal and it's widely available. But I don't know where it came from originally.

Have you heard his country stuff? It's pretty basic, and base, like all his other stuff, but it's cool.
 
it is like if the Dirty Water club was called the Dirty Protest club

:D

But regarding the OP, while i'm sure there are many here better qualified than me to say, having enquired about vinyl copies of "Bite It You Scum" myself i think there are various bootleg singles you can get of it, plus album versions. Apparently you can get a soundtrack album to the 'hated' film that contains two versions. The best obviously being the one when he cracks the audience member in the face with his mic.

It's a fucking brilliant tune. Crap band i used to be in was going to do a cover of it for some comp CD the NME were giving away but couldnt get 'clearance' in time.

Allin was a pretty sad case tho. I imagine folk who are really into him are utter dorks.
 
i bet it's not the most difficult of songs to cover. it sounds like there are lots of different versions then. did you ever find a 7"? they all look pretty expensive

i think most of the 7"s have been repressed or bootlegged. it would have been around 2001 or 2002 i was looking for a copy and they had a load (with , i think, a black and white cover) of copies for about £4/£5 at the electric ballroom record fair.

you can get the 'hated' soundtrack easy enough. sure they'll have vinyl copies in 'out on the floor' on inverness st amongst other places.

actually, ill check ebay out now. :)

true, not exactly Mahavishnu Orchestra, were they?
 
The Murder Junkies were touring Europe recently, I saw posters all over Gothenburg.

They didnt come to the UK though I dont think.....not that I'd have gone.
