About

Kevin Michael "GG" Allin (born Jesus Christ Allin; August 29, 1956 – June 28, 1993) was an American punk rock musician who performed and recorded with many groups during his career. His live performances often featured transgressive acts, including self-mutilation, defecating on stage, and assaulting audience members, for which he was arrested and imprisoned on multiple occasions. AllMusic called him "the most spectacular degenerate in rock n' roll history", while G4TV's That's Tough placed him second on their list of "toughest rock stars in the world".

Known more for his notorious stage antics than his music, Allin recorded prolifically, not only in the punk rock genre, but also in spoken word, country, and more traditional-style rock. His lyrics often expressed themes of violence and misanthropy.

Allin's music was often poorly recorded and produced, given limited distribution, and met with mostly negative reviews from critics, although he maintained a cult following throughout and after his career. Allin promised for several years that he would commit suicide on stage during one of his concerts, but he instead died from a drug overdose on June 28, 1993, at age 36.

GG Allin, de son vrai nom Kevin Michael Allin, né Jesus Christ Allin à Lancaster (New Hampshire), le 29 août 1956 et mort à New York le 28 juin 1993, est un chanteur de punk hardcore américain. Il est connu pour ses performances scéniques qui incluaient des actions transgressives telles qu'Allin déféquant sur scène, s'automutilant, chantant nu, mettant les gens au défi de lui faire une fellation, et de multiples actes de violence envers le public. Bien que plus réputé pour son jeu de scène que pour sa production musicale, il enregistra de façon prolifique avec plusieurs groupes, non seulement du hardcore, mais également du spoken word, de la country, ainsi qu'un type de rock inspiré des Rolling Stones.
