GG ALLIN - Carnival Of Excess
 

Possibly one of the best country albums ever recorded. I think Hank would've been proud. You guys heard it?

No i havent got to hear it yet. But i was always a fan of his acoustic songs like Carmelita, and When I Die..so thanks for reminding me, i have to check it out

The version of Carmelita is real out of it on this..... really slick and has a chick on backup vocals (I wonder who drew the short straw on that one?). Carmelita's a cover isn't it? I was trying to work out who sung it I've got a feeling it was David Allen Coe or someone like that?

The Troubled Troubadour is another accoustic album of his that's really good. It has When I Die on it and some other gems. I think his accoustic stuff is his best work in my opinion.

GG used to say that Hank Williams was his real musical idol. Also loved The Stones, Tom Waits, New York Dolls and of course Iggy. I put an MP3 out of us doing 'Last Time' (Stones tune) from a sound check a few years ago. I wonder if it's still floating around in cyberspace.

Yeh there's a few Stones covers floating around as MP3s by GG. I heard him doing Dead Flowers (off their Sticky Fingers album).
Yeh I thought he'd dig Hank, they seem like they had a demon or two in common.

LMAO I didn't find my old MP3 (just as well since I can make a clean mix of it now days), but I did find the old radio clip of when he was in Chicago played to 'TNT' from AC/DC. He never did give me that original tape back of the show. Little late to ask for it now I guess...

Yeh it probably is :p

Are you playing in any bands at the moment?

Nah, too busy with the film music stuff at the moment. Of course summer time always gets me wanting to play out....

You know I won't spam around here LOL. Check my signature though :D
