  (#12) His Brother Said He Claimed His On-Stage Antics Were A Form Of Communion

  According to GG's brother, Merle, the singer's habit of defecating on stage began as nothing more than shock-inducing performance art, but was justified post hoc as an act of communion between Allin and his audience. 

  It was in '86 GG first defecated onstage. As things progressed, he had to have an answer for it, so his answer was it was a communion to his people. If you were a Christian, you ate the body of Christ. If you're a GG Allin worshipper, you ate the body of GG Allin. His blood, his piss, all of that was for his people.

  (#4) John Wayne Gacy

  • Visual Artist

  At some point during the 1980s, GG Allin struck up a pen-pal relationship with John Wayne Gacy, who'd been convicted in the slayings of 33 people. The two were close enough friends that Gacy gladly designed the movie poster for the Todd Phillips-directed documentary Hated: GG Allin & the Murder Junkies. 

  Gacy's artwork also essentially funded the film. Phillips sold prints of the poster for $15 a pop and ended up raising around $12,000, which covered the bulk of production costs.

  (#8) He Wasn't Into Traditional Sex, According To His Brother

  According to GG Allin's brother, Merle, GG wasn't into run-of-the-mill sex. As Merle explained, "GG's big thing was getting women's panties, getting a bottle of their urine and drinking it or having them pee in his mouth and masturbate. He wasn't into sex, not at all."

  (#2) He Routinely Defecated On Stage

  GG Allin cycled through about a half-dozen bands, at least partially due to his volatile stage antics, which - to put it politely - weren't for everybody. When Allin took to the stage, he wanted to leave a lasting impression. Those who saw him live would probably agree that he did just that, especially considering that he reportedly started defecating on stage around 1986. 

  He would strip nude, as well, and start fights with members of the audience in an inventive bit of showmanship.

  (#3) He Apparently Had A Thing For Teenage Girls

  Allin spent much of the early 1980s living a relatively normal life. In 1980, he married Sandra Farrow, whom he had known since high school. As his brother Merle described, "Sandy had him p*ssy-whipped. He was wearing button-down shirts and taking out the garbage." 

  The marriage dissolved in 1986. By that point, Allin was already dating Tracy Deneault, a teenager. Deneault gave birth to a daughter, Nico, in 1986. Allin and Deneault never married. 

  When Allin perished at age 36, he was was dating 17-year-old Liz Mankowski.

  (#13) Todd Phillips

  • Producer/Director

  The 1993 documentary Hated: GG Allin & The Murder Junkies provides a unique look into the life of one of rock 'n' roll's most controversial figures. The 52-minute documentary - which wrapped filming shortly before Allin's death - was the creation of an NYU student named Todd Phillips.

  Phillips, who was enamored with the punk icon and his life story, would eventually go on to direct Hollywood blockbusters like Old School and The Hangover.
