Aren't They CUTE???

Now the lowdown on them:




The group has strong ties to the National Vanguard organization, a white nationalist group formed by disaffected former merabers of the National Alliance. Their ideology has been described as racist and white supremacist in nature by many organizations: however, in their own worRAB they say they are just proud of their heritage.

According to an article from ABC News, the girls were homeschooled by their mother, April Gaede, an activist and writer for the white activist organization National Vanguard. The article further discusses the twins' maternal grandfather, who wears a swastika belt buckle, uses the Nazi syrabol on his truck and registered it as a cattle brand. The twins have a baby sister named Dresden. Though the family was originally located in Bakersfield, California the twins' mother has sold their home because she prefers to raise her children where more whites are represented.

During their ABC interview, the twins said they believe Adolf Hitler was a good man with great ideas, such as eugenic standarRAB and incentives to improve the genetic quality of the German people, and marriage loans to help qualified German families begin upon a firm financial basis. In the interview, the twins described the Holocaust as being exaggerated.

They describe their ancestry as English, Scottish and German. The band was named after the color Prussian blue, as a reference to the girls' Prussian heritage and their blue eyes. They also stated that they think Prussian blue is "just a really pretty color". In an interview with viceland.com they added: "There is also the discussion of the lack of 'Prussian Blue' coloring (Zyklon B residue) in the so-called gas charabers in the concentration camps. We think it might make people question some of the inaccuracies of the 'Holocaust' myth.".

They have recently been criticized for stipulating that money they donated to Hurricane Katrina victims should go only to white people.

It is reported that "their on stage antics include executing the Sieg Heil salutes".

After arriving at his friend's apartment, Allin snorted heroin while everyone partied, eventually passing out. Some party-goers posed with the unconscious Allin, not knowing that he was already dead. The next morning, some noticed that Allin still lay motionless in the same place where they left him, and began to realize that something was seriously wrong. They called the arabulance, who pronounced him dead at the scene.

At his funeral, his bloated, discolored corpse was dressed in his black leather jacket and trademark jock strap. He had a bottle of Jim Beam beside him in his casket, as per his wishes (openly stated in his self-penned acoustic country ballad, "When I Die"). As part of his brother's request, the mortician was instructed not to wash or put make up on the corpse, which smelled strongly of feces. The funeral became a wild party. FrienRAB posed with the corpse, put drugs and whiskey into his mouth, and pulled down his jock strap to take pictures of his penis. As the funeral ended, his brother put a pair of headphones on Allin. The headphones were plugged into a portable cassette player, in which was loaded a copy of The Suicide Sessions. The video of his funeral is widely available for purchase and is an extra feature on the Hated DVD and some bootleg VHS tapes.

At the time of his death, Allin was making plans for a spoken word album, and a somewhat unlikely European tour.

GG Allin was buried July 3, 1993 in the Saint Rose Cemetery in Littleton, NH. A reunion is held each year, and fans are encouraged to come [2].

[edit]
Overview
While GG Allin had limited commercial success, he became notorious for his violent, confrontational performances, and his relentless, singular personality.

Much like his life, GG Allin's discography is a large and confusing mess, with numerous reissues, compilations, gigs and countless circulating bootlegs. Some of them, particularly original pressings of the original albums, often command high prices from collectors. In one of the recorded phone conversations heard on the Troubled Troubador posthumous CD, Allin stated his amazement at the high prices his early recorRAB, including the Malpractice and Stripsearch singles (on which he only played drums), were going for. The scarcity of copies of his original releases with the Jabbers and Scumfucs are partially what led to the compilation and release of Hated In The Nation in 1987. Alongside his official releases, many bootleg videos and albums have been independently released with and without consent.

Audiences often attended Allin's performances less for the musical aspect than to witness his regular stage antics which included Allin performing nude, attacking the audience and his own band merabers, defecating, urinating, throwing feces at the crowd, self-mutilation and other shocking acts. While many regarded these acts as mere performance art, shock rock or vile entertainment, GG Allin regarded himself as someone who lived the life he sang about.

Most GG Allin albums are amateurishly recorded, even by punk rock standarRAB - which often sees these traits as virtues. This was due largely to his recordings being self-financed or on extremely low budgets. He never received major label backing for distribution, although at one point Enigma RecorRAB had a deal with him for a release, which he signed while serving his prison sentence in Michigan. A magazine advertisement for this particular release exists even though the album was never manufactured in Allin's lifetime; the album, the live recording Anti-Social Personality Disorder, would later be released posthumously first by Ever Rat RecorRAB, then by Awareness RecorRAB. Much of his discography was either self-released on vinyl or cassette, or through small independent labels like David Peel's Orange RecorRAB and the New England-based Black And Blue RecorRAB.

Currently, his recordings with the Jabbers, Cedar Street Sluts and Scumfucs are kept in print by Black And Blue RecorRAB while Awareness RecorRAB have the licensing rights to his recordings from 1987 to 1991. ROIR has continued to keep Hated In The Nation in print ever since its release, and Allin's final studio album Brutality And BlooRABhed For All has remained in print since its Septeraber 1993 posthumous release on Kim Fowley's Alive RecorRAB imprint.

Allin's DIY attitude was an extension of his philosophy on life - in which he rejected conformity and what he saw as mental or emotional falseness. He travelled the USA non-stop in Greyhound buses, often with nothing more than the clothes on his back, living day-to-day, as a preferred lifestyle to what he perceived as a weak, soulless, standard life of birth-school-job-materialism-marriage-mortgage-death. He often spoke out against the "American System" as he saw it: a pre-established order of how one was supposed to live their life according to the government and society of the time.

It has been attested by sources, such as bandmates and his brother, Merle, that GG Allin possessed extraordinary mental and physical resistance considering the amount of times he had been shot, stabbed, poisoned, self-mutilated and consumed large amounts of hard drugs. To his end, Allin inflicted an obscene amount of punishment on himself as a deliberate intent to toughen himself up - he welcomed pain and danger as much as pleasure. Onstage, he once clenched his teeth and bashed his front teeth in with a microphone.

In a psychological examination during the infamous trial of a supposed rape and torture of a woman in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Allin was seen to be intelligent though somewhat of a megalomaniac, confessing even that his acts of self-mutilation were due to his compassion for the suffering in the world, a way for him to feel better about himself. The "supposed" rape case involved a woman accusing Allin of raping and torturing her, and Allin attesting both innocence and that the woman had participated of her own free will. There was much about the case which backed up Allin's assertions that the woman was an admiring fan, who threw herself at him for publicity, and some contradictions in her statements to police about who attacked her, how many people were at the party, who participated, and other minor details. However, he was still convicted and served time in jail.

Since his passing, the likes of Philadelphia rock band CKY and outlaw country/punk artist Hank Williams III have mentioned GG Allin as a major influence on their music. CKY regularly perform a cover version of GG's song "Bite It You Scum" whilst on tour. Once on their "Out On The Noose Again" tour in 2003, GG's brother Merle made an appearance on bass to play the song with CKY. Williams dedicated his 2006 album Straight To Hell, in part, to Allin.
 
Iggy Pop inandof himself is one crazy dude. I read something about how one time he cut himself so bad the medics came onstage b/c he wouldn't stop performing. Also Alice Cooper and Ozzy back in the day. Gwar are pretty strange, maybe not insane tho... I don't get the contant use of blood, urine, or whatever bodily fluid in shows though. What is in reference to?? Masses being infected by the same disease (both metaphoric and literal)? Having disgust for the fact that many people are retarded enough to pay to be sh*t on, so you do sh*t in them?? I'm not sure I understand.
 
There was a band called Dodo Ressurection in the late 60s.

Their lead singer would drop huge amounts of acid before gigs which was pretty ordinary at the time.

After a while his behavior became more & more erractic & he took to going onstage dressed up as a doctor & would end gigs by drinking bottles of formadehyde.

The band also recorded a debut album on their own label but ended up burning most of the copies.

The last copy of their album go come on the market sold for
 
I have no contributions to this thread at the moment, but I am referencing this cute little duo (like TATU, but with undertones of genocide!) in my music/politics essay. *gets excited at the myriad of possibilities* Phukkers, where shall I begin!?!?
 
MC5 and the White Panther Party

Mc5publicity.jpg


The White Panthers were a political collective founded in the United States in 1968 by John and Leni Sinclair, and Lawrence (Pun) Plamondon, and included the proto-punk band MC5. The group, which took its name in emulation of the Black Panthers, dedicated its energies to "cultural revolution." The group was most active in Detroit, Michigan and Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was started in response to an interview where Huey P. Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party was asked in an interview what white people could do to support the Black Panthers. Newton replied that they could form a White Panther Party. Sinclair made every effort to ensure that the White Panthers were not mistaken for a white supremacist group, responding to such claims with "quite the contrary."

From a general ideological perspective, Plamondon and Sinclair modelled the White Panthers on the Black Panther Party, "fighting for a clean planet and the freeing of political prisoners. The White Panthers added other elements such as advocating "rock 'n roll, dope, sex in the streets and the abolishing of capitalism." Lawrence (Pun) Plamondon was indicted in connection with the borabing of the CIA office in Ann Arbor a year after the founding of the group, and was arrested and imprisoned for 32 months after being pulled over by a Michigan state trooper for littering. His arrest signalled the end of the White Panthers as a functional group, although White Panthers chapters in San Francisco and Berkeley remained active into the 1980s [1]. In 1984, angry because then-Mayor of San Francisco Dianne Feinstein proposed to ban handguns in the city, the San Francisco White Panthers mounted a successful petition drive that forced Feinstein into a recall election, which she won.

The headquarters of the White Panthers in Portland, Oregon were raided by the FBI on Deceraber 5, 1970. Two merabers of the group were arrested and accused of throwing a molotov c0cktail through the window of a local Selective Service office.

Anarchist Mick Farren, a leader of the London Underground, later founded the White Panthers, UK.


In Noveraber of 1968, Fifth Estate published the "White Panther State/meant". This manifesto, in emulation of the Black Panthers, ended with a ten-point program:

Full endorsement and support of Black Panther Party's 10-Point Program
Total assault on the culture by any means necessary, including rock n' roll, dope and f*cking in the streets.
Free exchange of energy and materials - we demand the end of money!
Free food, clothes, housing, dope, music, bodies, medical care - everything free for everybody!
Free access to information media - free the technology from the greed creeps!
Free time and space for all humans - dissolve all unnatural boundaries.
Free all schools and all structures from corporate rule - turn the buildings over to the people at once!
Free all prisoners everywhere - they are our brothers.
Free all soldiers at once - no more conscripted armies.
Free the people from their "leaders" - leaders suck - all power to all the people freedom means free everyone!
 
Dr Teeth and The Electric Mayhem:


250px-Drteeth.jpg


The Electric Mayhem is the name of a Muppet rock band that appeared on The Muppet Show. Following The Muppet Show, they have appeared in various Muppet movies and TV specials, and have also recorded album tracks. Dr. Teeth was designed by Jim Henson, while the rest of the original band merabers were designed by Michael K. Frith. Their most famous song was "Can You Picture That?" from the 1979 film The Muppet Movie.

The band consisted of Dr. Teeth (band leader and piano), Janice (guitar), Sgt. Floyd Pepper (bass guitar), Zoot (saxophone) and Animal (drums). In season five, Lips joined the band (trumpet). Animal, Floyd, Zoot and Janice also played in the Muppet Show pit band, performing the opening and closing themes and underscoring most of the Muppet Show performances. Rowlf the Dog was the pit pianist, however.


Merabers

Dr. Teeth
Dr. Teeth is the keyboard player and gravelly-voiced leader of the band. He has a gold tooth that he claims he fashioned by melting down his gold recorRAB, a scruffy beard, a fur vest, a striped shirt, and a floppy purple top hat. Although it wasn't always made clear, Dr. Teeth was meant to be a spider (his other arms were only occasionally visible). A running gag on the show — due to the mechanics of working a puppet's arms from below, often a two-man job — was Teeth's arms stretching to ridiculous lengths while playing his instrument. Jim Henson based the character, which he designed and voiced, on the musician Dr. John.

His speaking roles got much smaller due to Jim Henson's death, but Dr. Teeth's first major speaking role since Henson's death was in Statler & Waldorf's very own show, Statler and Waldorf From the Balcony.


Janice
Janice is a lead guitar player. She usually wears a brown hat with a turquoise gem and a feather. This flower girl was involved with Zoot in season 1 of "The Muppet Show", but paired up with Floyd Pepper starting in season 2. She also acts in sketches periodically, most notably as wisecracking Nurse Janice in "Veterinarian's Hospital", a recurring parody of medical dramas. She speaks in a "Valley girl" sing-song voice. Janice was performed by Eren Ozker during the first season of "The Muppet Show", then she was voiced by Richard Hunt until his death in 1992. Her name is an homage to Janis Joplin. After Hunt's death, her character was faded back to brief non-speaking background appearances until the 2002 TV movie It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, in which she was performed by Brian Henson.


Janice is the only meraber of the band apart from Animal to have appeared on the animated series Muppet Babies. In her single appearance she was portrayed as slightly older than the main characters, and able to read. Her hippy philosophy was already intact.


Sgt. Floyd Pepper
Sgt. Floyd Pepper plays bass guitar. A laid back hippie-type with a pink body and long reddish-orange hair, he usually wore a green army cap, or sometimes, while in the pit, a slightly fancier cap of stiffer, glittery material, and a red uniform with epaulets and ornate gold braid on the buttons. His name refers both to Pink Floyd and to the Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. His jacket is a clear visual reference to the album. He is performed and voiced by Jerry Nelson. Floyd's pink colour is a little insider joke, and a reference - he is a Pink Floyd.


Zoot
Zoot is a green, balding, blue-haired saxophone player with dark glasses and a high-crowned blue felt hat, and was generally a laid back fellow of few worRAB. (Oddly enough, Zoot spoke much more in the first season, where he was often seen dancing with Janice in the "At The Dance" sketches.)


Zoot on The Muppet ShowPerhaps his best line came in The Great Muppet Caper, when the gang is planning to stop a group of crooks from robbing a museum, and trying to get their supplies together unsuccessfully.

Fozzie mentions a particular item ("wax lips")
Zoot says, "Man, I just had 'em!"
"Did you leave 'em in your other pants?" someone else asks.
Zoot comes back: "I don't have no other pants!"


Zoot's claim to fame was playing the final off key note to the end theme of the show, then looking into his saxophone with a bewildered expression, checks his music and gives a satisfied nod and looks around at the other musicians and gives the same nod. Curiously, the note played is the lowest note on the baritone saxophone, and most of Zoot's other playing has the sound of a tenor saxophone, while his instrument appears to be an alto.

His name comes from "zoot suit", a large-shouldered, taper-waisted, gaudy garment popular in the 1940s. It is alternately possible that his name comes from Zoot Sims, a great jazz tenor saxophone player. Others believe that he is based on the great blues saxophonist Lou Marini. Zoot's appearance seems to be an amalgam of Latin tenor saxophonist Gato Barbieri and Frank Tiberi, longtime meraber and current leader of the Woody Herman big band. Yet another version is that Zoot is based on tenor-sax player Yaroslav Yakubovich, Israeli jazzman, who immigrated to the USA and continued his stage career there during the 1970s. Zoot is performed and voiced by Dave Goelz.


Animal
Animal is the drummer. He has also appeared on the Muppets Tonight show, as well as the Muppet Babies cartoon and all the Muppet movies. During performances, Animal is usually chained to the drum set, as his musical outbursts are extremely violent.

Animal: [roars]
Floyd Pepper: Oh, yeah, that's Animal. Show 'em what you do, Animal.
Animal: I want to eat drums!
[chews on a cyrabal]
Dr. Teeth: No, no, beat drums, beat drums!
Animal: Beat drums! Beat drums! [beats the drums with his head]

He opts to wear football shoulder paRAB instead of a shirt (when he is not in his maroon band uniform). Despite the antics, Animal was a very good drummer, and was able to hold his own with legenRAB such as Buddy Rich. [1]


Animal on Extreme Makeover: Home EditionHe usually speaks in grunts and monosyllables, and has a violent temper. Animal bowls overhand. He has been depicted as a literal skirt-chaser (in The Muppets Take Manhattan, he chases a female co-ed out of the auditorium, chanting "Woo-maaaan!" after her). He also chases cars. Animal is performed and voiced by Frank Oz while his drumming is performed by Ronnie Verrell.

Fans of The Who's drummer Keith Moon claim that the character of Animal was based on Moon, who was known for his wild antics. However, there is no evidence in the original sketches for the character that suggest that he was based on anybody in particular. Three of the other merabers of the Electric Mayhem were created by Muppet designer Michael K. Frith, and the sketches reproduced in the book Of Muppets and Men show that they were based on famous musicians. Dr. Teeth is a cross between Dr. John and Elton John; Sgt. Floyd Pepper is based on the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album, and the original concept for Janice was a skinny, long-haired male character based on Mick Jagger. Animal, on the other hand, was designed by Jim Henson, and the rough sketch (also seen in Of Muppets and Men) doesn't appear to be related to any real musician.

A regular schtick is that when someone says a figure of speech to him, then Animal turns to the audience, his eyes go wide and then he goes berserk taking it literally. For instance, Jim Nabors once gave the traditional theatrical good luck wish to Animal, "Break a leg," and Animal decided to indulge him by trying to break Nabors' leg.

In the movie The Great Muppet Caper, it is revealed that Animal has a passion for impressionist paintings, especially those of Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

In the movie Muppets from Space, Animal meets his match in the form of a security guard played by Kathy Griffin - after chasing her down a hallway with his "Woo-man" call, she later returns with him, with Animal acting submissive and sheepish, and lets him go (after reminding him to call her and blowing him a kiss).

Ty Pennington commented that Animal had ADHD, when the character was appearing on an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. This fact is disputable, as the appearance can easily be considered not part of the Muppets canon.


Lips
Lips, a hippie, joined Electric Mayhem for several nurabers in the latter episodes of the series, playing the trumpet. Marked by his yellow afro and goatee, and a permanent squint, Lips was never considered by fans to 'really' be a part of the band. His appearances on the Muppet Show were few and far between, and when he did appear in the episodes or the later movies, never did anything that drew audience attention to him



That's the Mayhem you were thinking of right??

Mayhem is a seminal black metal band formed in 1983 and based in Oslo, Norway. The name "Mayhem" was derived from the title of a Venom song, "Mayhem With Mercy". Much controversy has followed the various murders, suicides and other forms of violence that have surrounded the band since its inception.

Over time Mayhem has evolved through a variety of black metal styles, delving at times into areas of dark avant-garde industrial and electronica. Highly influential, the group (at least in its earliest incarnation; 1983-1993) is widely considered to be one of the cornerstone of the black metal movement.


Early Years (1983-1990)

The Monks

One of the strangest stories in rock history, the Monks were formed in the early '60s by American G.I.s stationed in Germany. After their discharge, the group stayed on in Germany as the Torquays, a fairly standard beat band. After changing their name to the Monks in the mid-'60s, they also changed their music, attitude, and appearance radically. Gone were standard oldie covers, replaced by furious, minimalist original material that anticipated the blunt, harsh commentary of the punk era. Their insistent rhythms recalled martial beats and polkas as much as garage rock, and the weirdness quotient was heightened by electric banjo, berserk organ runs, and occasional bursts of feedback guitar. To prove that they meant business, the Monks shaved the top of their heaRAB and performed their songs — crude diatribes about the Vietnam war, dehumanized society, and love/hate affairs with girls — in actual monks' clothing.
