GG Allin was born August 29, 1956 in Lancaster, New Hampshire as Jesus Christ Allin. His brother Merle could not pronounce his name right so he called him GG for short. Shortly before he started school his mother renamed him Kevin Michael Allin. He was raised in a log cabin without electricity, heat, or running water in. His dad was insane and abusive, sometimes doing things like lighting the cabin on fire and digging burial plots in the cabin\'s dirt floor. GG was featured with many bands throughout his career including The Jabbers, The Scumfucs, Bulge, The Cedar Street Sluts, Antiseen, and The Murder Junkies. His earliest recordings date from 1980. He has a large list of albums, which is largely out of print and sometimes commands high prices from collectors. His recordings and performances were amateurish, and messy but they were still awesome. People often came to GG\'s shows less for the music than to see his regular performing nude, attacking the audience, shiting, eating his shit, pissing, throwing shit at the crowd, masturbating, and having some people preform oral sex on him. Some people say it\'s and act of performance and art, and GG might be seen as the most genuine shock rocker. He was arrested and jailed many times throughout his 15 year career for his wild stage antics and performances were often stopped by police after only a few songs. GG\'s notoriety led to appearances on episodes of Geraldo, The Jerry Springer Show, and a memorable episode of the Jane Whitney Show. He was going to commit suicide on stage on Halloween of 1993 but died of a heroin overdose on the 28th of June 1993, in his New York City apartment. GG is now buried in the Saint Rose Cemetery in Littleton, NH.
