GG Allin (29 August 1956 – 28 June 1993) was a punk rock singer and bandleader for a plethora of groups (see below). He is perhaps best known for his live shows which were some of the most shocking of his time. Although more notorious for his stage antics than for his wide body of music, he recorded a near-prolific amount of material not only in the punk rock genre, but also dabbled in country and western and Rolling Stones-influenced rock. Childhood He was born Jesus Christ Allin at Weeks" Memorial Hospital, in Lancaster, NH. He was given this messiah name because his father, Merle Allin Sr., then 32 years old, had told his wife, Arleta Gunther, then 20 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. As a young child, his older brother, Merle Allin Jr., was unable to pronounce his name, Jesus, properly. Hence, the origin of the "GG" nickname. Shortly before Jesus Christ Allin had started school, his mother changed his legal name to Kevin Michael Allin (on March 2, 1962 by his birth certificate). Arleta had allowed his birth-name to stand up till this point in case there was credence to her husband"s claim. However, with her husband"s deteriorating mental health, and the lack of any messianic qualities within the boy, Arleta emphatically insisted on giving the child a chance at a normal, mockery-free life, by changing his name. Early Years Some of his earliest recorded musical endeavors were as a drummer. With the band Malpractice he cut two tracks in 1977. He also played drums on a single ("Galileo"/"Jesus Over New York") for the band Stripsearch in 1981. His first years as a front man were with the Jabbers (1977–April of 1984). They released many tracks, most of which had Allin playing drums as well as singing. The Jabbers were a productive band for a number of years. Out of these years came Allin"s debut release, Always Was, Is And Shall Be. At the time, Allin was a standard punk rock frontman in the vein of Iggy Pop and Stiv Bators.Hoodies Sweatshirts Longsleeve tshirts, Lycra tops, Punk Rock Tshirts,at RockTshirtsPunk.com punk clothes, Heavy Metal T shirts, Emo Clothing, Goth clothes, Band T-shirts, Music Tshirts, rock t-shirts, Punk rock T-shirts, Punk rock Hoodies, Rock Hoodies, Cool t shirts, Punk Rock Cool clothes, Oi t-sirts Classic Rock Clothing 60s-70s-80s-90s Alternative Modern Pop Rock Music, Concert Wear Clothing.
