  GG Allin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was given this messianic name because his father, Merle Allin Sr., then 32 years old, had told his wife, Arleta Gunther, then 21 years old, that an angel had visited him and told him that his new-born son would be a great man in the ilk of the Messiah.
GG Allin's acoustic output, documented particularly on the EP The Troubled Troubador, was heavily influenced by Williams.
In a psychological examination, during an infamous trial of a supposed rape and torture of a woman in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Allin was seen to be largely intelligent, though somewhat of a megalomaniac, confessing even that a lot of his self-mutilation was due to his compassion for the suffering of the world.

 dOc DVD Review: Hated: G.G. Allin and The Murder Junkies (1993) - Printable
Allin's band, musically, was nothing more than one of the many two-chord hardcore groups that screamed racist, sexist and violence-fueled lyrics during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Allin's constant demands to "get high" turn this into the video equivalent of a traffic accident, and it is hard to stop watching, especially knowing Allin is shown on his way to the drug overdose that would kill him.
Allin was no tough guy poseur, he was the real deal and this Todd Phillips' comically dark documentary succinctly captures one of rock's truly weird chapters, warts and all.

That's exactly where Allin has spent the better part of the last four years, under highly suspect legality; his parole board has decreed on record that he is "a performer for all the wrong reasons," and thus recommended he serve maximum incarceration time, even though the charges he's in for are not performance-related.

 Hated: G G Allin and the Murder Junkies
It is clear, however, that Allin and Merle were, perhaps inevitably, the products of a dysfunctional family.
We learn that their father – an absent presence, so to speak – gave his son the name Jesus Christ Allin and that violence and the threat of death were an omnipresent part of the young GG's life.
How much worse things could have been, however, is demonstrated by the main value-added extra, a hour's worth of unedited footage of Allin's last performance, the ensuing riot and his quest to score the drugs that would kill him only hours later, the camera moving in best war zone film-maker style.

Die." True to his word, shock-rocker GG Allin (real name: Kevin Michael Allin) consumed rock ‘n’ roll’s indulgences to their fullest until the day they claimed his life.
On stage, Allin repeatedly threatened suicide (as a self-proclaimed sacrifice to rock ‘n’ roll), scarred his body with broken glass, and attacked both audience and band members.
It is where, according to Allin’s brother (and bass player) Merle, GG "began rebelling right from the start." His teachers (among them, his music teacher) recall similarly, noting that Allin and peers were rumored drug-takers who failed to fit in Concord’s somewhat "Leave It To Beaver-ish" confines.
