* FaceOfTheBand: Of many bands! The Jabbers, the Scumfucs, the Cedar Street Sluts, [=ANTiSEEN=], the Carolina Shitkickers, the Southern Baptists, the Bulge, the Criminal Quartet, and most notably his final backing band, the Murder Junkies. Some of these bands - the Jabbers, [=ANTiSEEN=] and the Murder Junkies - have had notable careers outside of being his backup band, but GG invariably gave them the most notoriety (how could he not?).

* GrowingTheBeard: Of the Genghis Khan-looking variety, anyway. His early years with the Jabbers saw a young GG in comparatively decent voice, merely being obnoxious and demeaning to women. ''Eat My Fuc'' is where GG truly fell in love with shock for the sake of shock, with songs about drinking, rape, murder, and his god complex, with hoarse vocals and no production quality whatsoever. You know, the GG we know and love to loathe.

** A good way to tell if you were at a GG Allin concert was if you or the lead singer was covered in shit or blood.

Added DiffLines:

* OvershadowedByControversy: In the long run, GG has proved to be known first and foremost for his violent, unhinged live performances, not to mention the misanthropic attitude and disgusting personal hygiene that came with it. His music, regardless of quality, is almost incidental.

%%* * EpicRiff: "Bite It, You Scum," and how. how - it's more or less repeated through the whole song, save for a sloppy guitar solo. Also, "Assface.""Assface," courtesy of the poppiest band GG ever fronted, the Jabbers.

Scum"; his anarchist outlook summed up in one ugly, muddy, punk rock anthem.
*
TearJerker: "When I Die." No, really. GG more or less wrote his own epitaph and set it to a minimalist arrangement, and the result is easily the most solemn thing he put to tape.

* EarWorm: GG's not as adverse to a pop hook as he'd have you believe; for example, "Tough Fuckin' Shit," "I Wanna Fuck Your Brains Out," "Bite It You Scum," "I Wanna Fuck Myself" and especially his old songs with the Jabbers are all surprisingly ear-wormy.

** GG was so over the top, in fact, that there have been serious discussions among fans (and non-fans) over the years about how much of his deplorable behavior was merely an on-stage persona, and how much was real. If you think much of it was the former, obviously, that makes GG that much more Narmtastic.

** All of his songs about underage girls will probably require some serious BrainBleach.

** This reaction was the reason a lot of people went to see his shows; there was something revolting yet unutterably fascinating about GG's freak-show performances. People still joke about him today.
