Oh there were worse photos of him, but I seriously didn't think I could post them. There's even one of him in his coffin all dead and dirty.

(read the Wiki link above about his death and funeral )

Despite threats of an onstage suicide, Allin died of a heroin overdose on 28 June 1993, in a friend's New York City apartment, at 29 Avenue B, Manhattan. He was 36 years old. His last show was at a small club called The Gas Station in New York City. Video footage of the soundcheck, concert, and aftermath is appended to the DVD release of Hated. In his last show he did a few songs before the power went out, after which he trashed the venue and walked the streets of New York naked and covered in blood and feces, surrounded by fans whom he openly embraced. On VH1's recent Freakiest Concert Moments, Allin's final show ranked at number four.

After arriving at his friend's apartment, Allin snorted heroin, eventually passing out. Some party-goers posed for photos 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 had left him, and called for an ambulance, but Allin was pronounced dead at the scene.

At his funeral, Allin's 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 the corpse, (which smelled strongly of feces), or apply any makeup. The funeral became a wild party. Friends posed with the corpse, put drugs and whiskey into its mouth, and pulled down the jock strap to take pictures of Allin's 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.

That was me.

This thread is nasty. I should not have read any of it.

We can watch the funeral DVD together.

minneapolisgenius said:

is that the one that has footage of him chasing his audience out of a performance space and then rampaging down avenue a, trying to catch a cab wearing nothing but a soiled jock strap and a head wound?

that was art.

Anx said:

Could be. Read that description above.

minneapolisgenius said:

well, i've seen "hated" but it was back in the VHS tape days. i think his avenue a rampage is a special feature on the DVD. it reminded me of the end of john waters' "multiple maniacs", after divine gets raped by the giant lobster and thinks she's king kong, and starts chasing groups of people down city streets.

i just love the idea of rock stars and drag queens as real life supervillains.

Anx said:

I've never seen it. I've seen plenty of pictures of him, but never any live footage of poopy pants.

Yuck. He smelled like shit at his own funeral. His family had to be quite proud.


Smooches;)

I don't think his family would have even given a shit. Sounds like it was pretty fucked up when he was a child.

bah, he's no more offensive than sarah mclachlan.
