Hated In The Nation

About

The Legendary Underground 1987 GG Allin Roir Cassette rereleased with 4 bonus tracks! "I'm not imitating anything as much as I am trying to take it beyond" - GG Allin 22 Tracks of pure GG assembled by GG's brother, Merle, and original executive producer, Mykel Board, timed to coincide with the 5th anniversary of GG's death by overdose following a New York City performance in 1993. Press "He became the worst nightmare the Dead Boys and Iggy never had. Self-immolating, jock-strap clad, a mace-spraying, dung-heaving aberration. For better or worse, GG Allin is (was) a legend." - Trouser Press Guide to Indie Rock "(ROIR cassette, 'Hated In The Nation') ...the best place to be introduced to the demented moron who made obscenity a political statement. If you're a fan, find thi." - All Music Guide To Rock "Of all the degenerate acts carved out in the name of rock n' roll, there are few who have touched (preferably with disinfected gloves) the life and times of GG Allin." - Guinness Who's Who of Indie New Wave "At any given performance GG may knock some of his teeth out with the microphone, bloody his head, masturbate, beat up spectator, defecate on-stage (a spontaneous artistic decision - editors note) and get beaten up by spectator. Where many underground bands flirt with an aura of self-destruction of danger, GG is one of the few who actually lives what he sing." - Jim Greer Spin Underground "GG Allin is (was) one of the most extreme performers of rock and roll. His shows rarely lasted more than 20 minute, the plug was almost always pulled by an outraged promoter or by the police." - Melody Maker "Among the luminaries and oafs who recommended the GG cassette are Thurston Moore, Steve Albini, Jello Biafra and Tim Yohannon. So bad, it's funny." Sounds UK "Whatever you think of GG, you've got to admire a man that lives and dies for every performance - not since Iggy Pop has any artist engendered so much of the animal within us all." CMJ New Music Report "The only friend I've ever had in life was the music I created. For me, rock n' roll has to be the ultimate weapon of revenge." GG Allin from Jail This exclusive for ROIR collection of 22 tracks is presented as a fake "live" concert, as GG, up to the time of this 1987 release, had never been allowed to finish a gig without the plug being pulled. The original cassette released in 1987 was by far the most revealing and accurate presentation of GG's work until that time. "He is essentially a depraved madman whose exhibitionism knows no bound. His music is probably the crudest, most primitive hardcore ever recorded. 'Hated In The Nation' is one of the most frightening things I've ever heard. Sick, repellent and compelling all at once." - Kevin Whitlock, Vox UK All CDs will bear the following: WARNING .
