7 Outlaw Scumfucs

"If you believe in the real underground of Rock 'N' Roll, then now is the time to do something about it...Talk is fucking cheap…It's time to fight… Make them aware that the disease and the Scumfuc tradition is still spreading. We must live for the Rock 'N' Roll underground. It CAN be dark and dangerous again. It CAN be threatening to our society as it was meant to be. IT MUST BE UNCOMPROMISING. And with me as your leader, it will happen. I am ready to lead you, my allies, into the real Rock 'N' Roll underground. Let's get started." ---From the GG Allin Manifesto. 21 years ago on June 28th, we lost Kevin Michael “GG” (born Jesus Christ) Allin, before his mission to save rock n’ roll was complete. The following is a list of 7 people continuing his Outlaw Scumfuc tradition:

1. Merle Allin

GG's older brother Merle sports a sort of modified tickler mustache, dyed bright red to look as though someone sat on his face, then got their period, coupled with lengthy, dreadlocked sideburns. The bass player of GG's final band, The Murder Junkies, Merle collects and sells serial killer artwork while overseeing his brother's legacy. This past April, Merle unveiled The Resurrection of GG Allin, an exhibit in conjunction with L.A.'s Museum of Death, featuring the clothing GG was wearing on the night he died (not to be confused with the outfit he was buried in: a motorcycle jacket and jockstrap). The Murder Junkies still tour regularly, and released the album A Killing Tradition (with They Hate Us singer PP Duvay on vocals) last year.

2. Spike Polite

Polite's band, Sewage, was one of the opening acts for GG's notorious last show at The Gas Station, on June 27, 1993---a show that ended in rioting after the power was cut, and saw GG, clad in ill-fitting Daisy Dukes and covered in poop, pied- pipering a pack of raucous punk rockers up and down the streets of the Lower East Side. In 1999, newspaper headlines all over New York screamed about Polite's bad friendship choices after his name became associated with a grisly crime involving the slaying of his landlord. Released from prison a few years ago, Polite and a reformed Sewage play regularly around New York City, and a documentary film is in the works focusing on Spike's adjustment to the technologically-savvy world that emerged while he was in prison, potentially answering the question, "How many punk rockers does it take to turn on an I-Pad?"

3. Gene Gregorits

Gouging at his chest with a torn-open aluminum beer can during a 1989 reading in Boston, GG proclaimed, "My body is like paper." When underground writer Gene Gregorits cut off his earlobe and ate it in 2012, "to promote books," he said that the flap of flesh "tasted like beer." In the same way that Allin's talent as a songwriter was often completely overshadowed by his Rampaging Shit Warrior persona, Gregorits' talent as a writer is often obscured by his melodramatic online antics, bitter rivalries, and gore shows. This past May, Gregorits accidentally- on- purpose slashed his arm while reading from one of his books at a Providence Gallery, the resulting wound requiring close to 50 stitches. The fans who didn't flee in horror promptly showed their adulation by dipping their just-purchased books (in a few cases, their just-stolen books) in his blood as he was carted off to the emergency room.

4 & 5. Zoe Hansen and Richard "Handsome Dick" Manitoba

She's beautiful and brash. His feuds are the stuff of punk rock history. Together, they own and operate New York City's last real rock 'n' roll bar, Manitoba's. When Richard's not on tour with the Dictators NYC, or doing his radio show, and Zoe's not writing, or working on the FEAR CITY custom clothing line she designs with Mary Raffaele of Cycle Sluts from Hell fame (it's worth noting that the name FEAR CITY comes from the 1976 flyer put out by the City of New York to alert tourists to the crime wave that had overtaken the city at the time), they can be found there, behind the bar, doing their part to keep New York City gritty.

6. Tibbie X Kamikaze

A week after GG's death, drug-addicted, and feeling despondent after the discovery of his girlfriend's body in the back of serial killer Joel Rifkin's truck, Reagan Youth singer and co-founder Dave Insurgent ended his life with an overdose of antidepressants. This could have been the end of the seminal NYC band, but they've soldiered on, with a new line-up featuring Gash singer Tibbie X on bass. Known for her aggressive vocals and in your face stage style, she's working with original guitarist Paul Cripple on a new album of songs about Dave's life.

7. Duane Peters

It's been a tough year for US Bombs singer and O.G skateboard legend Duane "Master of Disaster" Peters. After going M.I.A this past February, clad in only a hospital gown, his ex-wife, original Nashville Pussy bassist Corey Parks put out an SOS online, trying to track him down amidst rumors of legal trouble and concerns for his state of mind. Thankfully, things seem to be on the up and up for the man who invented scores of skateboard tricks, including "the acid drop" and "the loop of death." Take care of yourself, Duane! The Outlaw cause needs you! No one ever said Scumfucing was easy!
