Axel , It sounds like they mean they would like to hear The Ravonettes cover it...."Die When You Die" actually IS a cover song , of sorts. It's taken directly from "You're Gonna Die" by Destroy All Monsters. He changed it a bit , of course , the words are his. He did the same thing with "Scumfuc Tradition" ("Family Tradition" by Hank Williams , Jr.) , "Outlaw Scumfuc" ("Longhaired Redneck by David Allan Coe.) and even "Blow Jobs" ("She Got a Nosejob " , a Mad Magazine record !!!!). YES , I DO NEED TO GET OUT , TONIGHT.

The Dum Dum Girls did a brilliant version of "Don't Talk To Me", with girl group-esque vocals and completely made it their own.

I forget their name because it's a Japanese name.....The very early Jabbers stuff borders on New Wave OR POWER POP , BUT , I WAS IN TOUCH WITH ONE OF THE GUYS IN THAT BAND , AND HE SAID GG WAS VERY MUCH INTO GARAGE , ROCKABILLY , ETC.
Permalink Reply by John Battles on December 4, 2012 at 7:58pm Gonzo , I guess no one answered your question , here , but , drink , drugs , jail and accelerated hard living happened to GG....It is almost hard to believe , when you look at pictures if him , taken at scarcely over a dozen years before his death , he looked like he could have done very well with the ladies. Even in '85 , when I first saw him , he still seemed like somebody the chicks would dig......UNTIL !!!!!! You know , doo doo caca poo poo shiser.

Holy crap that's GG ? What ever happened to him ...thanks for the replies.
kopper said:Always Was, Is and Always Shall Be LP (1980) is indeed fantastic. There are a couple of other early 7" EPs that are worth hunting down, too. The S/T 7" on Orange Records from 1980 is one, GG Allin & The Scumfucs 7" on Blood Rec. (1982?) is another.
I'd love to have heard him do a garage album, which could have been a humdinger. He could start dressing sharply and channel his fury more stylishly. It shows he had great taste in music. I know he liked a lot of the blues artists, as he said he could listen to that all day, as I can. I could even easily imagine him doing an R&B album too (as in the proper stuff).

Permalink Reply by John Battles on December 4, 2012 at 9:18pm A former member of DMZ told me that GG wanted them to be his backing group , but , this was long before he became "The Monster". Under a different set of circumstances , that might have worked , in the short term. I talked to GG a few times , he was'nt so imposing when he was'nt on stage....He said , when he lived in Boston , there were'nt very many bands , there , that he liked at the time , but , he did like The Lyres , and he preferred DMZ to The Lyres , as well.
Didn't he cover one of their songs?

GG Allin and the MC2 (Wayne Kramer and Dennis Thompson)
And this is my favourite cover of a GG song:
Permalink Reply by Leco Rezende on December 9, 2012 at 1:01pm In 2003, we did here in small city in south of Brazil a Ten Years without GG Allin Festival. 5 days of gore/horror/alternative movies and documentaries at the Federal University and a gig at the end of it in a local bar. My garage band played a cover of GG's I wanna fuck myself. But the best part of the festival was the hoax my friends did at the local TV Show.
