Summary: GG Allin the ultimate punk rock'n'roll terrorist
Review: This DVD includes the 1991 Todd Philips movie "Hated" about the late GG Allin who was the most outrageous punkrocker of all times. Defecating on stage, beat up & rape the audience & selfmutilation was part of GG's performances. This documentary gives you a exellent picture of what this punk legend was all about. also as a bonus is GG Allin's last performance ever the outrageous Gas Station show in 1993 complete with show & aftershow mayhem. The camera also follows GG's walk to what later that night would show up to be his death. Nothing for the family hour but this is real world so you can't deny it.

Summary: hated GG Allin & The Murder Junkies
Review: This DVD shows us how someone can become if nobody pays attention to him. GG never had any friends at school, that's when he started rebelling, and he never stopped rebelling ever since. He became worse every day. You see a lot of nice live footage on this dvd, and you also see a lot of other stuff: interviews with GG Allin, Merle Allin, Unk(a fan of gg allin) & Deano the naked drummer. I love gg allin, but sometimes i just almost have to cry seeing how a man of which nobody ever talked to or wanna be friendly to has to do such thing, because he doesn't want to do an effort of being nice he just hates everyone, EVERYONE!! the only thing he cares for is himself, drugs & showing you all how much he hates you. GG Allin doesn't want to like anybody, he want's to take revenge on everyone who ever laughed with him or ingnored him. Now, gg allin can't be ignored, he did the most notorious things ever, nobody can do for such a long time what he did. He did the same with more than 15 bands for more than 15 years. I quess all the misery gg allin went threw made him a stronger person.

Summary: Shock-Rock in top form
Review: This film may amuse you or sicken you (or both), but it will definitely NOT bore you. GG Allin's intense sense of perversion and degeneracy, combined with his shockingly obscene stage antics make this one of the most unforgettable rockumentaries ever produced. But be advised: this is NOT a light-hearted punkfest...GG Allin's music and concert acts were shocking, crude and downright ugly. If Marilyn Manson scares you and you considered Guns'n'Roses a tad much on the anti-social side, steer clear of this video.

Summary: Better than being crapped on
Review: This is a VERY funny film - it's also quite disturbing. Those of you who think this drug-addled mental patient is some sort of hero/idol are scary (scary cause you're loose-thanks alot ACLU) - actually you're more f*'ed up than G.G. was. That being said, I bought this when it 1st came out (and it still gets played), so WTF. Actually, I'm thinking of getting the DVD to better preserve this lunkhead and his followers. I remember when he was alive and I actually thought about going to see his "act"; I couldn't get past the whole excrement thing though. Anyway, this is a demented slice of life that most of us don't experience by a long shot, so take a peek and have a ball. Lick my blowhole.

Review: Todd Phillips bring us a disturbing and exploratory search in GG Allin, who could be described as a "human animal". This video is not for the squemish or faint-hearted.

Summary: Hated Indeed!!!!
Review: Violence........does it have a place in rock and roll?? GG Allin had just been released from prison when a NYU film school fan asked to make him the focus of his final grade - a short film about anything he wanted.In the process,Todd Phillips captured GG partying,performing,talking about life...his childhood,his family and his death wish(he said that he wanted to kill him self on stage in mid-performance and take a couple fans with him!!!).A unique and facinating film that offers a glimpse into the mind of rock and rolls` #1 outlaw.
Shocking,scary and hilarious at the same time...great mix huh? By the way....the added Gas Station show is a fitting tribute to GG`s legacy - violent,funny,short and in the end, less than 24 hours later,he would be dead of an overdose.Thats Punk Rock!!!!!!!

Summary: Punk-rock martyrdom? or Circus Freakshow?
Review: What makes this film truly iconic and amazing is how it exposes what an utter joke punk rock is. Punk and it's attendant philosphy is nothing more than a lie foisted on desperate youth who can't fit in and then make a 'movement' out of their alienation. Of course, they end up forming their own 'gangs' and cliques, with their own codes of conduct and rules of inclusion....pathetic. G.G. Allin bought into that crap hook, line and sinker before turning on it and going full out and taking all his nihilism to its illogical extreme. Hated is a great chronicle of how punks inherent self-absorption and dissillusionment with just about everything, culminate into vast amounts of hopeless nothingness. Granted, G.G. doesn't represent your typical punk or hardcore kid, and many people are divided about the guy, but he took punk's 'lifestyle' and stylized self-destructive impulses to the hilt. You can practically see the guy yearning for a hug, except he probably smells way too bad for anyone to get too close. This movie is great to put on at a party and to sit back and watch everyone get grossed out at the circus sideshow. G.G. teetered on the brink of self-parody and always crossed the line into it. It seems that he's always 'on', kinda like a punk rock Robin Williams. I'll admit the movie is absolutely hilarious at times, particularly when G.G.'s confronting his audiences. The scene where he's shoving bananas up his butt at some spoken word gig at NYU is great, especially when he starts tossing banana chunks at people. But you gotta ask yourself, what's the point? Yeah, it's funny but so what? I asked myself the same thing when I saw G.G. lay down at a BBQ and had some chick urinate in his mouth, which prompted him to upchuck his hot dogs. Yay. And the reasons for his psycho-social behaviour? A lousy upbringing in New England, where G.G. overheard his father talking about killing his kids, his wife and himself....whoop-dee-doo. Seeing how G.G. dressed like a girl in high school spoke of someone so desperate for attention, but also so full of self-loathing for wanting that attention, that he turned on everyone and everything. Of course, one day G.G. discovers punk which gives him an outlet for his erratic behaviour and a cult following that gets off on his lunacy, intellectualizing it as some sort of statement about a screwed up society. You can tell G.G. got off on being held in such high regard, even if it was for making an a** of himself. Why else would the guy declare, for years mind you, that he would kill himself on stage on Halloween night? Why not do it privately and with dignity? Why have an audience? And who's to say that the guy wouldn't take out a couple of his fans as well? The strange thing is that G.G. wasn't a total buffoon and he could actually write some catchy and clever tunes, especially early on in his 'career'. You can't really tell in the tunes he does with the Murder Junkies, mostly because the sound quality in the flick ain't so great, but songs like 'Bite It, You Scum' are really fun. And the scene with G.G. strumming an acoustic guitar and singing Warren Zevon's 'Carmelita' is revealing. Was he really maybe a softie? Of course, for anyone who knows about him, G.G. will always be remembered as the guy who used to spread his own feces all over himself, the guy who'd bash his own teeth in with his microphone, the guy who'd cut himself and assualt his audience etc. etc. Todd Phillips does a great job of letting G.G. and his assorted hangers-on hang themselves with their own rope. While I don't care much for punk's philosophical standpoint, the music is pretty good. This movie is the same. I could care less about G.G. Allin, no matter how amusing I find his self-immolation to his lifestyle choice, but this movie is really well done and ALWAYS interesting. There's never a dull moment. G.G.'s demise, a typical heroin overdose like the dumb rock star he is, is anticlimactic and much like his life. A lot of bark, with only a little bite...enough to nip at your heels and annoy you, but nothing that has any REAL effect. Enjoy this in a room full of people who can't imagine a guy like this would exist and watch their jaws drop. Good fun.
