All right, here we are back with another episode of Beyond the Podcast of 1984. And, this is your, pal, or am I your pal? I don't know, I'm sure some of you people either listen to this or my pal. So. Hey, listen to this. You're my pal. What's up? So anyways, this is a very special episode. This is, dedicated to G.G. Allen, who, passed away 31 years ago. To this day, of course, it's like much later at night, but, yeah, this is my this is my dedication. So, first of all, before I start this episode, I want to say, if you don't like G.G. Allen, you don't have to listen to this. That's fine, I don't care. I'm doing this for myself. This is also for all the fans of the people that love Gigi. I'm one of them. I've been a fan since 1989. Okay, you know, if you find it, you know you hate it. Every fan of offensive. That's fine. A lot of people did. He did some pretty gross things, but that's that's, That's not the point. The point is this episode, it's definitely not going to be for everybody. There's going to be foul language in it, because I'm not going to censor myself to, you know, and if I need to get bleeped out, I guess I do. But, I'm going to be naming some albums, song titles and all that. And, you know, if you're easily offended, don't listen to this. So let's just get straight to the point. In, 1989, I don't one of my best friends, Jerry, who I did an episode a couple episodes ago, my friend Jerry SCV, check from, you know, real sick and scene. Anyhow, he gave me a scene. This is back in, I think around 89. Had to be 89. Anyways, he gave me a copy. I can't remember every senator. I think he just gave it to me. I don't remember, he got it in the mail. Killjoy did a fanzine. That's killjoy from Necro. Faygo rest a piece, but he did a fanzine. And, this issue was from like, remember, was like E5 or E6. I mean, I was pretty old, but anyhow, it was called the Metal Commandments and had a lot of metal bands, some punk bands and stuff. Like he had Wendy Williams on the cover, which is pretty frickin cool. And, anybody just, listening to the show for the first time? That's where the name of my show is from Beyond the Valley of 1984, of course, beyond the podcast, the 1984 title probably doesn't even make your sense. I was just thinking about it a little while ago. Does that even make sense beyond the podcast or what's beyond the board? Guys, I don't know, 1984. I don't know. Do I make it? I don't make any sense. You know, there's no rules, man. But anyways, the fanzine was really cool. I still have it. It's like in excellent condition, but no, who knows, maybe I could, like, get a reprint or something. I don't know if he did any other issues, but it was a really cool zine. Anyhow. Moving moving moving moving moving moving. You know, I had all these articles in there. He had a few interviews, but he had this article about a guy called G.G. Allen, and I'm like, what the. I had no clue. I had never heard of them or anything. The only punk at the time that I was listening to, and it was not that long before Gigi was, Ramones and the Sex Pistols and, I don't know if you really want to call the Dead Milkmen punk. Not really. But I love the dead movement anyways. So I'm reading this article and I was like, what the hell? You know, it just said it was basically describing you hear your sisters screaming, you go into the room and she's being like assaulted and raped by this crazy, mad man. You've just entered the world of G.G. Allen. And I had a picture of this guy had, like, eyeliner on and a bandana, and he's, like, yelling in a microphone, and I'm like, the first thing I popped in my head was, this guy looks like a total glam like poser. And this is when I was going through the phase. I didn't listen to, you know, all the bands that I loved back then like Ratt, Motley Crue. I didn't even listen to Twisted Sister. I mean, I just, I cheesed out for a while, you know, all those bands poison, Cinderella, even wasp. You know, Eddie Howe. I was like, this guy looks like a tool. And I, my buddy Jerry and I were just laughing. Or like, who is this guy? And, you know, in the articles describing he had said he's a circus, the sickest singer, punk rocker. You over here in your life and your songs like I Want to Rape You, I want to Piss on You. I was the other one. Fuck the dead. I can't, I want, I want to fuck myself. And I was just kind of laughing, and we kept talking about it. I'm like, we were talking on the phone because, yeah, this was like, I think after Jerry ended up going back to California anyway. Yeah, because he had sent me the scene. I'm sorry. My memories is it's been a long time, man. You know, 35 years ago, anyhow, also, we kind of started getting a fascination. We're like, wonder what this guy sounds like? And then one day he sends me a dub, copy of hated in the nation. I gotta tell you, there's only been a few bands in my life that I've heard the first time that I automatically loved. You know, like the misfits, Pink Floyd, love, Twisted Sister. You know, you know, a few bands here and there like that, you know, Celtic Frost. So I get this tape and I've listened to it, and I was in my room and I could not stop laughing. I was like, this is awesome, because it was fricking hilarious. It was like, you know, if, if, if you ever heard hated in the Nation, you know what it is? It's like, Michael Borde from heartless, he used to write for maximum rock and roll until they kicked him out because, oh, he wasn't or he was too offensive and is too controversial. You know, that magazine went down the toilet anyways. But, you know, recipes are your online now. Big deal, but I don't. That's definitely not a scene anymore to me. But anyhow, as far as I know, they're still online. They've been online for years. But they they ended up sucking at the end. They turned into, like, bullshit, you know, just a bunch of, yuppie to me. Yuppies are not real punk rockers, but these, like, assholes is turning into this totally hardcore, super left wing, politically correct bullshit. You know, the old safe space bullshit. Like, there's nothing punk rock about it. But, you know, that's fine. I'm not here to, Well, actually, I am, because this guy, Garland was definitely not busy at all, and, that's what I liked about him. I was one of the not not the main reason, but one of the reasons why I like them. Anyhow, I was listening to this album and, you know, it's a it's a combination of live and studio stuff. And Michael Borde put it together for ROI R, who is a very legendary, company. They put out all cassettes and then later on they started doing CDs and then LPs, and they're legendary. They put out a lot of punk rock, dub, hard rock, even some pop music, but always kind of weird stuff. And there are legends that you should look them up. They put out a lot of kick ass, but like Bad Brains album, you know, Japanese dub music. Some New York, I think is I Cuba. If they put out the New York thrash, it was like some no wave comps or something. But anyhow, really cool compilation, pretty cool picture GG and they're all like, totally just menacing looking, really nice black and white shot of them. These were in a vest. He's just sitting there like kind of glaring and had a really cool article in there by, Jello Biafra, who, it's funny because DC's, you know, Dead Kennedys very political band, but, jello good sense of humor. And he was he was a G fan. I probably still is. But, anyhow, I, I ended up becoming a big fan. I was like, this is over the top. I'd never heard stuff like this. I mean, yeah, the song titles are very rude of me. Come on, I'm going to review. I want to fuck myself. Ten year old fuck. I made very foul songs. Who was really doing that back that? I mean, yeah, you had, Well, a little bit before G.G., like, you know, the dead boys and, God. Okay, really, I'm trying to think of, earlier punk rock bands, but Gigi was just, an Annihilator. I at the time, of course, I didn't see any of his live stuff or anything. I just heard, but not too long later, I ended up getting the original hated in the nation. That's how I was able to, you know, see the photo and then some cool, cool picture in there. And, some little stories by other people, you know, like, like Iggy Pop may have started it, but Gigi's the the frickin Terminator and I, I'm a I love Iggy Pop, but, hey, that supposedly is where Gigi got his name. But the other story is that when he was a little kid, his father, while he was born. Jesus Christ, Alan, which his name got changed a while not too long later, but, apparently Merle, his brother, could not, pronounce, see? What was it? Jesus. So he said Gigi or Gigi, and I guess he just took that later on. As you know, his is punk rock, man. Was his real name, of course, Kevin Michael Allen. There was a whole story there. I mean, you could you can look up online if you wanna know more about Jesus. I don't get on Wikipedia or whatever. Just type in Gigi Allen, history. My, my, what is my point of the show? This is my tribute to Gigi, and, yeah, I'm kind of going all over the place, so. No, I didn't write it down. I don't care. I don't give a shit about, you know, oh, go to write all these dudes. And you know what? I was writing notes and I can't find them. I don't care anymore. You know this. This is my show. And if I don't make any sense, that I guess I don't make any sense. Anyhow, Gigi was just over the top. I mean, you know, the song titles that just mentioned are way more, probably cruder or more foul song titles. But, you know, eventually I ended up getting more stuff. You know, I ended up getting, I had found out, you know, his band before, you know, he was solo. You know, his albums like, Eat My Fork, which I believe was the first album he did after his first is, I shouldn't say his first band, but his first, the band that everybody knows about the Jabba's, great kick ass. There were way more, there were definitely punk rock, but I'd say, Gigi sang a little bit more. Hi. I don't want to say high pitch, but it was this really good, really super upbeat beat, rude lyrics, but nowhere near what happened. Later on when the band broke up and he got divorced because he was married and he has a daughter out there, but, he just kind of went nuts. I guess he didn't. He was trying to figure out what he's going to do with his life. Jabba's weren't around for a very long time, but they. They did some great stuff. Really catchy. You know, there's some fans out there that the jammers are their favorite era. I love the Jabba's, but I like his solo stuff a lot, too. I love I like all Gigi Allen, but, his very first band, which at the time, good luck finding that. That was super rare. I would say good luck finding it back then. You can get it now to just, put it out. It's been, what, about a year? But a band he did with Merle and two other guys called malpractice. And I would say that was sort of like, I don't know if I want to say artsy punk rock, but it's definitely different. And Gigi was just playing drums because many people don't know this. But he was a very, very good drummer. In fact, Gigi, you know, besides singing, was a musician. So, you know him on drums, his brother Merle on bass, and I can't remember the name of the other two guys, but tipo s Hallelujah two videos, they rereleased the very first seven. And so the band was called malpractice, and I actually, I think it's kind of funny. It's it's not bad. It's really it's kind of upbeat. It's just really different. Not bad though. It's also on a Gigi, compilation that I have that it's very easily it's like, I think it's, gl in the singles collection. I believe the malpractice, seven inches honor. But you get the seven inch now, and, which I'm happy. Anyhow, I just became a really big fan, and this is way before the internet, so the only time I ever really read about them, you know, talking to, like, like, pen pals or, sometimes people would send me a flier for, like, one of his shows. I still have this really cool flier that my buddy Jason Beck, sent me a long time ago. I still have it, man. It's in my. I actually finally put it in with all my archives because I've been collecting, Gigi stuff for a very long time, since probably about 89. I have a lot of, stuff I cut out, like old maximum rock or rolls, you know, some interviews, photocopied stuff. Whole lot of stuff, you know, like ads. Peter, you presents his name, Peter DeMaria to the Matia. I think it's the Madea, but he used, he used to sell videos through Max Rock or only. And a lot of Gigi stuff. A lot of, you know, stuff for. I couldn't sell it now, like screwdriver. And I got a lot of controversial stuff, but, yeah, like a lot of punk rock and, and of course, Merle, you know, doing his mail order, which I honestly don't know if he's still doing it. I haven't talked to him for a long time. Or. I like Merle. He gets shit from people, but I like Merle, and, you know, people always cash. You know his brother? Of course he is. Come on, man, this guy, the masters of all stuff. And I like, you know, like, I don't want to buy it from him. You know, people giving him a shirt because he shaved his head. He sold his hair. So don't buy it. That's the whole thing. That's. Merle's right. And the guy that ticks me off the people really slam on that dude. And he's an all right guy. I met him once, and he was really friendly. I met him. My buddy Jared and I met him, and, do you know the drummer? I had a really super nice guys, you know, from the Murder junkies. Really nice guys. They actually played out here, and I wish I could have seen him, but of course, this is way after Gigi's death. And it was on my birthday, too. And I was really hoping he, you know, hint, hint, you know, hoping maybe I'd get invited new. So at least I know I bought a bunch of good stuff after the show. I had enough money to buy some stuff. I know it sounds really cheap, but I was like, I really wanted to buy some CDs. And then he gave me a bumper sticker, which I still have. I have it in the sleeve of my, Brutality and Bloodshed for all LP, which I got way, way, way, way, way back. I think I bought that like 93. I still own it, and Merle signed it. I bought that from Bob at 4000 holes. But yeah, I don't think my guy is, Yeah. Like I said earlier, over the top. Foul, rude, crude, lewd. Disgusting, obnoxious. I can kind of relate because, you know, I don't know people. Some people think I'm obnoxious. Oh, you're like you're overwhelming. You're overbearing, you're sensitive, you're loud. Yeah. So actually, I'm not I'm not like that all the time. But, you know, people hate my band. I don't really care. Every time I played a show, I've cleared rooms and I love it. And y'all had a friend ask me, or did you do no purpose? No, I don't give a shit if people like my band or not. I'm not doing it for any of you people you know? Seriously, I won't say this on a on a side note here, if you don't like noise, that's fine. Don't listen to it. But it's funny how many people are. There's all hate for who did stupid. It's for you. Still don't listen to it for the same people around you. And who's a waste. And you know, I've met plenty of so-called punk rockers like, oh, you know, they hate gal. And I, you know, I mention I'm a fan or you serious? Like, oh, no, I'm just making it up. I'm just I'm just, No, I'm not really a fan, but whatever. So I don't know. The reason why I'm a big fan is I loved how over-the-top he was. I never in my life, heard of a guy like this. You know, he had countless bands and just the names of bands cracked me up. You know, in this day and age, of course, everything's offensive. And, yeah, there's a lot of offensive stuff out there. But, you know, I personally, I find the, news to be a lot more offensive. The music or singers and, you know, anyways, you know, bands like here, the scum Fox, the horror Covered wagon, the Aids Brigade, guy was, I think it was other bands. I know you had the jab way back. GG Allen and, I think one band was called the Fucking Shit Biscuits. I believe that was the name of one of the bands too. But know he had countless bands like whoever he could find, you know, there would be times he'd get a band together, allegedly. The same night, show that was supposed to happen. He wouldn't have a band or. And then he'd find some, like, crazy, like he. This boy, I've even had, did a rehearsal with Dee Dee Ramone. And if you've ever watched the documentary, Hate It, it's really funny. What's a little murder? Joker's. Oh, you know, there was the name of his band, and I started laughing because, I guess Dee Dee, he tried out on guitar and he ended up not joining. I thought that was kind of funny, though. It kind of cool. And I guess they got along pretty well. I was like, that's pretty cool. But so my what is my whole point? Here's, yeah, it's this is my tribute. I'm a big fan. I've been a fan since about 1989, and I get really tired, like work orders, too. I don't really care. You're offended by them? Good. You know, probably offended by everything. Seriously, people. And and, you know, I'm not saying, like, oh, people shouldn't be, I don't care. I don't, I just love how over the top guy was. Yeah, he could be pretty vile. He had some crummy things, and I consider or. I don't agree with it, but I'm really tired of saying that because I've said it probably thousands of times. It is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't agree with everything you said or did. You know I'm a fan? Regardless, you know, he'd play a show and, he'd get beat up a lot. One show, according to a friend of mine who's playing a show one time, and he was grabbing at this woman and apparently she was holding a rusty knife, and she stabbed them, and he ended up, having to get, like, a tetanus shot at the hospital there. That, like, after the show. I don't think the show last very long, as a lot of his shows would not last long and take just a few songs and get shut down. The cops show up and usually he'd get out of there well before the cops show up. But Guy was very known for, you know, playing, towards the end. He was playing naked all the time, but earlier games, cause he's wearing clothes, but usually just like a pair of dirty shorts or something. And a bandana. Before he went to prison, he, And, you know, he shaved his head while he was in prison. But before that, he was like, it was balding, big time. And, he wasn't a very bad looking guy. He was actually a good looking guy in his early years. And then he just, you know, as he got older and older and playing shows, smashing a microphone into his face, knocked it out his teeth, cutting himself up with beer bottles, doing smashed beer bottles on stage. But he did a lot of crazy stuff, you know, like take a dump on stage urinating, masturbating. He'd get, oral sex on stage. Men and women. In fact, there's a really funny video I was watching when my buddy Jerry back in California in 91. He gets this video from Charlie Infection. From Fudge Worthy Records. Psycho. Later. Watch other cool bands. He put out this VHS called Glenn America's Favorite Son. And I wish I would love to still get a copy of that. I don't know if it's even out there anywhere, but there's this part where he freezes the play until he gets a blowjob. So there's very effeminate guy, and this woman are are bitch slapping each other. And I think the dude ended up giving her a blowjob, and the guy was like, more effeminate than the woman. But I thought it was funny. And then he ends up, you know, playing a song, but I thought it was hilarious. But now he did a lot of pretty nasty stuff, like the one that one on one of the shows I have. I, like I said, I have all I think I have about ten DVDs, you know, two different releases of hated the documentary. I have, Alan, the family documentary starring his, dear mother and his brother Merle, and, and a whole bunch of, show collections, you know, a bunch of gigs and stuff. What was it? Oh, yeah. One of the shows they're playing, it was with the Murder Junkies. He's up on stage and the band, you know, the tuning up and then he ends up, he takes an American flag and he takes a crap. I just diary's all over it. Then he pours lighter fluid on it, and he lights and the bands play playing, you know, they're they're already starting to play. And you could just see the smoke rising off. I was just like, dang. I could imagine how nasty that smell. I was like, Holy crap. And I was just laughing. I mean, it's pretty disgusting. I couldn't even imagine him being up on stage. But apparently G.G. really stunk. And even, according to John Wayne Gacy, which I'm reference from the, But they interviewed him, and. No, it wasn't. Sorry. Unk who I, I have no clue. I can't remember what his real name is. I was friends with him for a little while on Facebook. I don't know if I offended him, but him, you know, much like many people just drop me off there and I'm like, whatever, I don't care. But now he was all right, guy. I can't remember his name, real name. But anyways, he's in the documentary and there's a part where I go see it went and met John Wayne Gacy, and Gacy told him he's like Earl of geoduck. He's real cool. But. Or does he smell like a piss house? I mean, I can only imagine because I don't think G.G. washed his clothes much. But they thing, you know, the thing. I haven't really gotten into his his music. And that was the big thing that I really liked as his music was just to me, just really kick ass. Like, the epitome of punk rock, like, just, you know, raging man. It just foul and hilarious. I mean, at least to me, I've always liked hilarious stuff. And I think that really does piss me off, though, is the fact that people can sit here and complain or his songs are offensive. I like, you know, it's a good going to bands like The Mentors. Bands like that too, you know, they're offered to. Oh, but you don't complain about Andrew Dice Clay. It's like, oh, because he's playing these. Cool. How he was paying playing comedy clubs for a bunch of yuppies. And, you know, mainstream people always support students. No, the band. No, I don't care. How about how come nobody's complaining about him or other comedians, you know, or. But it's recruiters difference now. There's not. It's like the mentors or a comedy band and it's all bullshit. All your rape people. It's all a joke. But see, and it's not even like, even now. But even back then, it's got worse now. But, you know, back then, I don't know, what what, you know, these these people are just hypocrites in, in my opinion. I'm not saying like, oh, yeah, you should go. I don't care if you don't. You're not a fan. Like I said earlier in the absolutely not a fan of the mentors, dude, I totally understand. I, I understand completely, you know, you're a bunch of prudes and you're boring and, you have no sense of humor, like, oh, no, you can't make a joke about rape. That is rape. Funny. You know, it's not. I don't think it's funny, but, you know, I've had, people I've known, and I'm not. It's a personal. I'm not going to get into it, but I've known them. Rape, date rape, all that horrible stuff. There's a big difference between somebody actually going out raping somebody and and sitting in a bar. But of course, that doesn't matter. I can't get that to people's heads because it's just like these people, you know, these all these actors and actresses and other musicians like, oh, there have been allegations of or, you know, something they said 20 years ago and oh, we need to ban them. No, it's like, oh, it's teach them a lesson because they said some a long time ago or they did something, you know, like what David Bowie died. This, this guy online, he's like, do report. He wasn't a hero. He was a rapist who raped 13 year old girls. He's going on and on. I'm like, oh, let's just trash on somebody is dead now. A funny thing is going on. It's like, how is that really a rape? Anybody? You know, all those bands I'm not justifying, you know, having sex with underage girls. But that happened a lot back then. But. Oh, no, we got to dig that up, old man. Well, you better get the Rolling Stones and probably Aerosmith and all these other bands, man. Crew. They had sex at underage girls. Guess what? They're fine. They didn't rape them. There's a big difference between rape and some girl fucking, you know? Excuse me one, screw some band because they're a groupie, you know? Oh, man, we gotta lock up everybody. Anyhow, I got I got sick of it. It's like I'd get it. I've gotten crab for people. There's always these. These so-called punks. I'm like, I don't care. You're hypocrites. It's like, oh, yeah, of a band. It's like, you know, it's like you sound like. Like your parents or like older people that are, like, offended by everything a conservative Bible thumpers. But on the other hand, it's like, that's the reason why I like G.G., because he was outrageous. And he's he still is 31 years after his death. I love his music. I've had many a times where I've been depressed. I wanted to slash my wrists or choke myself to death. Try to. I tried ones that didn't work, but, I was trying to suffocate myself. And I actually started laughing because, I don't know, I would probably look funny, you know? But the thing is, I love over-the-top, ridiculous stuff. I think it's so funny that somebody could get up there and stuff that he did. I think it's hilarious. His live albums, which I have several, are hilarious to me. You could put them right next to a comedy album because the stuff he says, oh, yeah, he says some pretty bad services, some men, you know, let's not beat around the bush. I said some racist crap. I thought it was funny because it's so over the top. And you know what? I'm a fan and I will always be a fan. And I for a very short time, my life was trying to be like, you know, I was like running a bandana on. I went to a show years ago with Jerry Wall and Soul Fear Factory and a bunch of other bands, and he let me borrow one of his leather jackets, and I was wearing his bandana and I was trying to Chrome mustache. Looked like an idiot. I think I might even shaved it like Gigi's. Like reverse Hitler, or as they call it, also aka the Mexican mustache, which I think is hilarious. Look. And that's where you get a mustache, where you shave off the middle instead of the sides, like like Hitler or, which Hitler stole that from Charlie Chaplin. So. But oh, no, we got to talk about Hitler now. Charlie Chaplin, buddy, he's the one who started it. But, yeah, he he hope he's helped me all these years through some rough times. And I've, I've listened to him many, many, many, many times. His music makes me happy. It's just like the same thing about white House. Those guys were so over the top. I listen to them. I listen to the brain bombs, which have some of the most foul lyrics, like usually from the point of view, from a nasty serial killer or psychopath. I love it. And you know, if you don't, that's fine. But you know what? I love it when people give me crap about what I like. It's like, am I giving you crab? You listen to wimpy like bullshit or oh, I listen to oh, he listened to political music. I that's fine, man. And, you know, I don't know if I stated this. I don't think it matters, but I'll say it anyways. I love Gigi, but I also, really, I like crass, I can listen to political stuff and I get it, I dig it. I think crass was fantastic. And of course, that's another man who gets a bunch of crap now, like, oh, you're Stevie Guru and saying, you know, whatever, you know, I can don't listen to them. I think crass or something else. And, definitely the opposite spectrum from Gigi, a band that, you know, very political, great stuff. Lots of cool songs. I got two of their. Well, I don't have the albums. Oh, man. I'm not. I'm not truly punk. I got them on CD, and I, I, I'm sorry, I, I should be read on bongs because there's a lot of cool punk rockers out there, but I'm just tired of it. Like every people being offended by every fricking thing in the world, you know, that's fine. There's stuff I find offensive. I hate Cannibal Holocaust. I hate movies like that. I do not like movies that of animals getting killed in them, abused all that. I hate that crap, and I don't support it. But if you do, you watch this stuff. I'm not gonna put you down for it. So don't put me down for being a gallant fan. See, what pisses me off, though, is, you know, people, these idiots think that, oh, if you listen to a band like G.G. or, you know, band like that, or you must be like a rapist or, you know, like you. You hate women. I really when I didn't know I hated women. Oh, I didn't know that I'm a rapist. I'm a violent masturbator. I'm an anti-social masturbator. You know, whatever. That's great. I think it's funny that people are so stupid. It's like you sound like somebody's parents. You sitting here? Oh, if you listen to this, you know, I've had some friends, and I'm not ragging on. I'm not going to give names, but, you know, like, oh, if you listen to them, you know, or you listen to a screwdriver, I'm not talking about National Socialist bullshit. That's stuff. Garbage. The Nazi era. I like three free National Socialists. Screwdriver, I should say read Nazi, neo-Nazi bullshit. Racist bullshit. I like, I actually, I dig, all screwed up. I think that's a that's a kick ass album. I wish I owned it. But even when I get when you get on like Amazon, there's like one copy that's been on there for years. It's like it's got this big warning on it and it's like, give me a break. It's not even a Nazi album. It was put out on a Nazi record label. It's not on Resistance Records. The band were not Nazis are National Socialist. But see even that. Oh no, you must be a Nazi. And like, you know, I'm just so sick of that. It's like people, you know, all rant about the system and all that. You are the system, you know, like telling people what they should and shouldn't listen to you. You're so fucking stupid. You think that, oh, man, if you listen to the spare. Oh, man, I listen to I'm the guy is not a Nazi. And if, let's say he if he was a Viking, this was a Nazi. Have you actually listened to them? There's nothing in there about race or anything. It's total token inspired black metal. And yes, I own a person album and I own several albums by white House. Oh, it is the word white in it, so they must be Nazis. I like Sutcliffe, Eugene. Oh no, they're controversial, so don't listen to them. I like gut, I like I, I love gut and libido. Airbag. None. Horror Commando 666. Who is it? Torso. Fuck. I will say this. I know I might sound like a hypocrite. I hate the samples. I have a couple torso. Fuck elbows. I hate the samples. It's like, sounds like women get raped, I hate it. I mean, it's not even real, but it just. It's like it gets old, but it. Going back to the Jegede. Oh, my thing is, I'm a fan, but I just it does. It pisses me off when, sometimes I'll tell people I'm a fan like, hey man, what else do you know? I'm talking about bands, you know, just random different stuff. And I mentioned you do your own workroom and then also they don't want to talk to me or something. I'm like, you're a you're an asshole. Like, whatever. I don't want to talk to you. Fucking cool, closed minded asshole. And I'm sure some of the others listeners think of, you know, kind of like a DG. You people think I'm just a blithering idiot, but that's okay. As long as I get your money, as long as I don't. You know, if I could, I could stand up here for an hour because I got your money and I. You don't. I don't have your money. Nobody's paying me for this. You know? So is there a point to this episode? I don't know, man. Maybe not. But, I will say I have a ton, ton of jiggle and stuff in my life because I went crazy. The label that I really, recommend if you're looking for his music, I mean, tons, literally of his stuff, CDs, even tapes like original cassettes, because I, you know, I got some friends out there, like, I've had people like, hey, do you get some dude juju tapes? Oh, yeah. Blood Orange Records, which is, my buddy Gus as part of that. I don't know if he's the owner or he's a co-owner or what, but anyways, they've been reissuing all of GG's stuff. Way, way back, of course. Tipos, you know, the first, the malpractice inch. But just, just about everything else has been reissued. By Blood Orange. You know, fixing everything. And the nice thing is that the jabra's, the original band members, are actually getting some money out of it. And so is GG's, daughter. And I think that's really cool because they're like, hey, man, if you're going to buy like, these albums, get these are legit and they're, they're beautiful. I got not too long ago was at Eat my fork. I got to two different I'm a geek. I got the two different color vinyl, 180 gram vinyl. And they're really nice. And all the records, you know, I've got, I've been buying a vinyl and a CDs because I'm a huge fan, man, but I have just about I think I have just about all the Blood Orange rereleases. I got a lot of seven inches one. I'm really happy that I scored. Was the violence I think was was it violence now that seven inch? I think it was, but the beast 666. Seven inch, which is cool. Is this like a black cover? I'd still like to get the, What was that? The, GG Allen and, Texas Nazis lived Texas booze and and pranks. That one I found in Ohio back in 94. I should have bought it. I didn't, but it's funny because, it's ticked off a lot of people. It's like just a blue sleeve, and it's got a hole in the middle so you can see the record, but it's got a big swastika. And of course, they did that just to tick off a lot of people, which apparently they did. I'm like, I think it's funny, but oh no, it's a swastika. Don't listen to it. It's a joke. Oh my God, the band's called the Texas Nazis. I they I thought it was hilarious. I love that album. It was the first live album that I got and I used to have a copy on cassette. I, I've had it on CD for years, but that album to me is beyond hilarious. I mean, he just goes off, even on one of the songs, I Want to Die was abused myself. I Want to Die. The guitar comes unplugged and they don't even start it up again. He's like, oh, it's okay. I didn't like the song too much anyways, but that's okay. We're still the greatest. It's, I think it's hilarious album, but it's pretty rock and but yeah, I still want to get my hands on that. That boos, that breaks. But good luck finding that because eBay won't sell it, they won't sell anything that has swastikas on it. It's funny. They were giving blood orange a bunch of crap a while back. Like they were letting everybody know on the mailing list. Yeah. You can't get some of the good stuff off of eBay now because other studios ignored. Not because one of the albums, the EMI fuck the CD version. He's standing on a cover and he's wearing a shirt with a skull and bones, you know, an old pirate flag shirt. And they said that that was a Nazi. I like, are you frickin sir? You guys are a bunch of dumb asses. I mean, I do order from eBay once in a while, but there are a bunch of idiots. Unfortunately, that's the only way I've been able to get some of the blood orange stuff is off eBay, because Blood Orange uses PayPal, and I don't use PayPal because I got screwed over by them once. I think they're a scam, but no, I have a lot of stuff. I got some books. I got a prison book that came out several years ago. It's got a lot of letters he wrote to, like Gacy and, I'm trying to remember there's, like, a letter in there to, What was it? Manson. I think he tried to, like, write to Charles Manson, but they wouldn't let him. Yeah, that's right, but there's letters in there, to and from John Wayne Gacy. There's a lot of, like, really nice letters. And they're they're not all just about doing, you know, shitty things. But there's some really nice letters, and there's this talk about his life. It's a lot of photography and stuff, but, I miss g, man. I remember the day that he died. I was sitting in my first apartment, and this commercial came on because I used to watch TV a lot more. Just, you know, basic had, like, maybe four channels. But, I was saying on the next Jane Whitney show, Jill, it says three days before his death. And I was like, what? And I was just really numb. I actually got Ahold of my buddy Jared, and we walked around. I think we hung out to about four in the morning while downtown. We to do that on weekends. We'd hang out and I was just really numb. I was like, jeez, man, I couldn't believe he was dead. I mean, because we were pen pals for a very short time. I wrote, G.G. and, wrote him in 91. He actually wrote me right back, wrote him a couple times. I still have his letters. I've got some black and white photocopies. He signed one. He put his address, and I just. I feel bad because I. I only wrote him a couple times. I should have kept a touch. I did an interview with them. I think I mentioned this on another episode. But anyhow, having a really bad time in my life thought I was going to have to join the military I destroyed. I had a zine zine. I had a whole issue just about done, and I ripped it up. I destroyed it, and one of the things in there was an interview that I did with GPS and I still to this day regret I did that, I think, I think I did an interview and impetigo too, but like, I basically did an interview with some of my favorite bands and I just yeah, that was stupid. I ripped on my life size. Well, it was almost a life size Elvira poster. It's good luck finding that now. I think I found it was like $300 a mic. Nope. Settled for an eight by ten glossy, but, yeah. No, no, it's like different bands do different things for people, but I guess helped me out through some really bad times. The fact that he wrote me right back was really cool. He didn't even ask for like, cinema Stamp, which I should have, but, you know, kind of a short, cool letter and I'll probably do it. I probably do another episode about G.G., but, the thing is, because of G.G., I got into some other bands, you know, like, not too long ago. Jam. I got into the mentors who I think are absolutely hilarious. But like I said, you know, I understand why, Pete, but people don't. You know, I kind of ranted there a little bit back there and it's all good, but I understand why. You know, a lot of people don't like G.G. you're the mentors, I get it, you know, that's cool. But like I said, I just pissed me off. And people are like, oh, you're jealous that you must be like that. I had Eric Wood one day. I got a rain. One day I woke up, I was on Facebook and he just went off on me. So if you listen to John Gray's Disgusting Angel Reapers going on and on and what I tried to respond, I'm like, where did this come from? He blocked me and I'm like, really? He actually blocked me, like, give me a frickin break. And I mean, I haven't talked, it's a Eric Wood and how long is it, man? I don't know a while, but I ended up leaving a message on his massive master says that you're a you're basically like, what the hell? I said, you're weak. You know, I did. I don't I can't remember exactly what he said, but I said, you don't even give me a chance. You and I were like friends for like 20 years, and you just flip out on me. And you're saying I'm a rapist? I'm a parole rapist. And I was like, what is your deal? And I think I was pretty nice. I didn't tell him, you know, f off or anything, but I was like, what? And I don't know, I guess he just pulled some weird stuff. But the thing is, I got nothing against you, Eric. You know, I know I always said it. A friend of mine who talks to Eric once in a while, my buddy Evan said that he said to say hi to me, you know, because I guess they keep in touch a little bit. And this was a while back, not that long ago. But anyways, you know Eric, it's cool man. You know, I don't know if it's an interest. The guy still like man is the bastard is great. I love that little more down tuned high tune bass. I don't think your gods like people like, oh, those guys are God, man of brutality. I'm like, whatever, I love guy. I don't think he's a god. He's just a he was a human being, you know, that just did a bunch of crazy stuff and, just made some kick ass music with his bands and, and did a lot of filthy things, man. But anyways, like I said, it's all good. I hope Eric, I hope you're doing better. Man, I really hope, you know, I was having some hearing problems and got some big go fund me or Kickstarter thing going, so. Hey man, I wish you the best. I'm sure you probably never even hear this episode. Probably never even listen to my show. But if anybody knows Eric, please tell him I'm good. It's all good. And that's one thing I do appreciate what Billy said. You know, my last episode was kind of ticked off about, you know, Billy. No, Sarah. My old one's best friend. But, in his little interview with me in a scene I came comes with the Be a Freak double LP. The ivory sheet that what you said, man? He was like, he was. You know, Gary got me more into, like, Twisted Sister England and some other stuff, but my. Thanks, dude, I appreciate that. That's really cool. I know you're a big fan. I don't know if he's still or, And Steve Eggs once said that, the spirit of G.G. Allen lives in, Boca. And I was flattered, dude, because I know I've gone a little crazy sometimes. 1994. First real show I ever played. Play with pile of eggs. This is Rev two earwigs. Play the earwigs played first, which I was like, thanks, dude. Is all the pile of eggs, guys? And then. And then the next was pile of eggs, and I it was a great time, but I was wearing nothing but these cut off sweatpants, a chain around my neck. I had a mullet, and I was trying to grow a mustache and a goatee, and I looked like a complete idiot. I was filthy and sweaty. We all were filthy, man. We were filthy bastards. Great show. But God, we all were sick. The next day. We were sick for about a day. But we got better right after that. And it was all good for, Anyways. Dude, he's always been a big influence on me, man. One of my, big memories, too, was when I lived in Texas. I was living with this guy named Gary and his wife. His wife was a sweetheart, but he was. He was a piece of shit dog beater, very violent dog beater, complete asshole scam artist. Scumbag. Rip off. Now, I have nothing really good to say about that guy. But anyhow, I got really depressed and I was sitting in my room a lot. I had no fan and I ended up using a fan, but the windows were like, nailed shut. This is in Fort Worth, Texas. I mean, it was fricking hot. Well, I got so depressed and I was playing my guitar a lot, and I was trying to learn jig covers, and I kept fantasizing that he would come to Texas and I'd meet him anyway. Oh, yeah, he could play in my band. And then I just, I would have done it, but I wasn't very good anyways. But, I was trying to learn it was good stuff on my guitar. I'd sit there and just keep playing and playing a plane and, obviously never happened. But I'm really grateful that, you know, got some cool letters from him and, get a lot of cool stuff, man, I got a I was like, a a mini museum of, girl and stuff in my life, and it really makes me happy. And, I'm grateful that, I discovered them, you know, because I bet there are a lot of crap in my life. I feel like I've been hated in the nation myself. I get a lot of people don't like me, and I don't honestly think I'm a bad person. I've had people to think about this earlier. I've had people say, oh, you're such a nice person. I don't see how somebody could like you. Some people don't. They get a hate on for me. And the thing is, I'm not this overwhelming, overbearing. I mean, yeah, maybe I sound overwhelming here. And with some of my little earlier rants here in this episode, I think I'm an alright person. I'm not perfect. You know. I'm not great. I never will be. I think sometimes I'm a terrible human being and I hate to call myself a human being. Call me an alien or a mutant. I call myself an alien, but I think more like I'm a mutant than. But, yeah, I just want to say, rest in peace, Gigi. I miss you a lot. You're one of my biggest heroes. So some people, Elvis is their hero. I dig Elvis, too. But, Gigi was and will always be one of a kind. And I thank you for your music. I thank you for your craziness. I thank you for the very, very short time that I, got to talk to you. And I cherish your letters and your music and my kiss and ass. Maybe I have maybe got diarrhea on my upper lip. Good. I don't care. Actually, I do, but anyway, yeah, if you've never heard, Glen, you know, when you hear something crazy over the top, just get on YouTube. I was surprised. There's a lot of stuff on there, but there's a buttload of shows. There's some really hilariously bad, early videos that are hilarious, like dead or Alive. That's. That song is great, but the video is so corny. It's so bad. Looks like rejects from Molly on it. And there's Gigi, and, the Javers. Yeah, I've kind of like, rambled on here. This is probably my longest episode, but. But I keep saying. But it, And I'm sure there's been a moments of beep beep beep beep beep, That's cool. I will keep doing my show, but I just wanted to say Gigi, rest in peace. Thank you for everything. I love you, man. Thank you for being one of my biggest, heroes. Just about my biggest hero. Maybe I'll meet you one day in the afterlife. Who knows? I wish I could have seen you live, which tried to. Jerry and I tried to see you, and we missed you, because Guy gave us the notification over your show, like, a week after it happened, which sucks. But anyhow, I'm sure I'll be doing another episode sometime, or at least sporadically mentioning him, because that's me. And with with, so my friends out there. No, I'm not trying to start crap. Sometimes people think I'm. Oh, you're trying to be controversial. No, I'm not, but whatever. I listen to a lot of different kinds of music, I enjoy it. There's a song by 311. That song down. Yeah, I like it. I think it's a cool song. I like a song by Linkin Park. Oh, no, I'm not a true metal. I've never said I was. I'm a poser and I suck and I don't really care. And you know what? I want to wear a chain connected from my nose to my ear and look dumb I don't care, you know I do care, I don't care. This has been the bizarre alien, the on the podcast of 1984. If you have any comments questions? You want to rant? You want to say how much you hate my show or how much you like it, maybe even love it. I don't know, I hate Google you just like send me. Oh my god, I hate that guy. Or oh, I love him. But anyhow, I just want to also give a big thanks to Gus, system. Sorry, dude. I don't have your name right in front of me, but for Blood orange, for being a really cool guy and, rereleasing all those albums and stuff. Man. I appreciate it, man. And, thanks to Bloody Mess. Definitely gonna have some stuff about bloody blood. He's great. He's got a lot of cool stories. Look him up online again on YouTube or Instagram. Bloody mess man. He has a lot of cool stories because he toured with DG on the Hated on the Nation tour, and they also did. There's a CD out called The Bloody Years and it's him, and it's a really sloppy, fun, good time and bloody mess. This stuff is really kick ass too, especially with the scabs, which is one of my very favorite bands. Animal scabs. So anyhow, all right, it's been, The Bizarre Island. And like always, as I've said in every episode, you can, you can leave your comments, you know, good or bad on the, beat. Was it? Beatport 1980 4.com. but hey any questions? I mean you can call me an A-hole if you want to say you're a big mouth fire. I'm not going to get mad. Really. You know, you're probably right. I am a big mouth. But, sending out lots of love to all my dear friends, my kitties, my family, and also, of course, to my beautiful dream lady. Wherever you are, as always, please come down from outer space. I'm lonely. And maybe you can heal me with all the crap that I've got bad going on now. So it's okay. You know, from my big mouth. We'll see you later. This has been Becca from Outer Face. Keep the filth by
