Riding With GG Allin in a Limousine? How is that even Possible?

- In 1991, I brought GG Allin to Tampa Florida to record, what would eventually become, Carnival of Excess. During that week, we worked on several projects and also did a few events. One of the events was in In-Store meet and greet at the Alternative Record store in Tampa. The event was scheduled for two hours, which went the duration. It was packed. We had been heavily indulging since GG’s arrival, so we thought it best not to drive there, so we decided to take a limo. When I saw GG at the Harbor Club a few years earlier in 1989, never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be riding in a limo with him, just a few short years later. He had a fun time riding around Tampa getting lubed up and primed for the event. I’m going to be doing an episode about the In-Store itself, but wanted to share some of this Classic footage from the ride to the event. After it was over we went back to the house, went swimming and indulged into the wee hours of the morning. The In-Store was a great success and all was good. A fun day in Tampa’s music history!

I could watch this all day. Thank you so much for uploading this footage, we who understand and “get” GG really appreciate it…we are the real rock n roll underground. Cheers
Glad you enjoy it! More GG content to come documenting the time we worked together and made Carnival. Thanks so much for watching! Much appreciated!
These videos and your content is an amazing time capsule, man. There will never be another GG or anyone even close to what he was and meant. It's crazy all the time and content you got from him and with him. Thank you!
My pleasure. Im really stoked to be sharing it with all of the fans. GG and I did a lot of nice work together, most of it a bit different than he normally did. Will be adding more content/stories as the days roll along. Thanks for checking out the channel and for the support!
been waiting years to see more of the limo ride convo ! 🙏🏾 another home run, mucho thank-o
Cool! Thanks very much for checking it out and for the support!
Every time I see GG interviewed, or footage of him when he's not in "performance mode" he just seems really sad and lonely. I think "When I Die" is his rawest and most honest song
Yeah....I don't disagree. That is why I wanted to do something like Carnival (and the acoustic stuff) with him. I really wanted to do something with him that would have longevity and would give him some sort of peace, if that was possible. I told him that on several occasions. Agree on When I Die. It is power and that ep which it came from, was the inspiration for me to work with GG in a different capacity. It was the inspiration to create Carnival of Excess.
This is rad I watch all your videos. Wish I could go back in time and score a GG autograph!!
Thanks for checking out the content. It's fun making these and sharing with GG's fans! Appreciate the support!
The 'no room' basketball signature was the funniest shit I've ever seen, wonder where it is nowadays?
Thanks for your time ponk
Yeah.....that was classic! Going to be doing a video on the In Store very soon. Thanks for checking out the stuff and for the support!
it was a disgrace 😂😂😂
Really love you, Ponk, seriously brother. Thanks so much for keeping GG’s legacy live on with all of this amazing footage. Really sucks that I was born in 88, so I didn’t get into G til 98/99, so being able to see all this awesome footage of him just hangin, partying, being himself off stage is great, man. But ya just wanted to tell ya I love ya, just got home from rehab a month and a half ago and got a new TH-cam account. Time to catch up on new stuff and all the old classic. 🤘thanks brother🤘
Thanks so much fo checking out the content. I'm glad you like it. GG and I did some nice work together, most notably...Carnival of Excess. We had a lot of fun making it. Congrats on rehab! Stay strong. I know how difficult it can be. Thanks so much for the support. More to come! Thanks again!!
Cant believe how much music gg allin put out hes the bob dylan of scum rock
I was painting the ktichen yeaterday had gg allin mix on and i heard songs from eraly days i never heard before
bob dylan of scum rock maybe if bob dylan was a shit folk music player
@@DC-wh2yk bob dylan sucks. He stole a bunch of his stuff from other musicians
I’d give my right bollock to be there with you guys! Bring a few joints etc Massive fan! Ace stories again ponk! Love the work!! ☮️
Thanks for checking out the stuff. It was an interesting week for sure. Hahaha Thanks for checking out the content and for the support! Much appreciated!
Hey brother , been a PONK fan for shit, forever. Just wanted to say I appreciate you and all this GG stuff you put out and are sharing.
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the stuff! Your support is much appreciated. More to come!
Thanks for another good story dude! It’s so weird to see GG acting like a normal human person lol.
Thanks for checking it out. The work I did with GG was, at some level, to focus on the artist/musician. We did a lot of normal things that week, like swimming while listening to Bob Marley Hahaha GG could be focused and a hard worker when he wanted to be. Thanks again for the support!
@@ponkmedia There's quite a few videos of him being 'normal' out there, just gotta search for them!
Fucking Badass! old school footage of the One And Only GG Allin in a Limo drinking and looking Cool as usual.
Glad you like it. It was an interesting day/night! Thanks for checking it out. Much appreciated!
Historic.. Thank you
Glad you like it! Thanks for checking it out. More GG content to come!! Thanks for the support. Much appreciated!
Another great video. Excellent. Thanks for sharing. At one point I heard GG start to sing Dear Doctor by the Rolling Stones. I think you mentioned he liked that Stones record which surprised me. Did you have many interactions with Merle? Got any good stories? Thanks
Yeah...he liked Beggars Banquet and it was played a lot that week. Last time I hung out with Merle was in NYC for the opening premiere of Hated when it first screened....a hundred years ago.
Oh, and Thank You for checking out the content and supporting the channel! Much appreciated!
We really appreciate you sharing with us brother. Thank you so much.
Thank you for checking it out! Your support is much appreciated. More on the way!
Thanks for this man. Love GG and your videos.
Cool. Glad that you like them. Spread the word! More to come. Thanks for your support! Much appreciated!!
This is a great video (as all of your videos are). The in-store was amazing and this video leading up to it makes my memories even better. From GG banging his head to sign his name in blood to GG signing stuff for some kids just showing up to see why a limo was on Nebraska Ave. Seriously, thanks for these uploads!
Cool man. That was an incredible day. We took it into the early morning hahaha. Very boozy. Thanks again for checking it out and for the support. More on the way!
yeah I think the guys wanting autographs just saw a limo and assumed it was some big time rock star lol
It was a classic few minutes! Hahaha😆
It was!
Thet saw the ultimate rock star!
This Is Pure Gold ! GG ALLIN RULZ !
Glad you like it! More on the way and on the channel. Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks for checking it out and for the support! Much appreciated!!
👍👍👍
Such a great video as always!
Thanks for checking it (them) out! Very much appreciated!!
Great stuff as always 👍🏻
Thanks you! Very much appreciate the support!
GG would love Sweet Charity with Ariela, serene place.
We actually ended up going there a few days after the limo ride. They offered GG a free nipple piercing. I will be posting the video of it soon.
"I have to come back in another lifeform, and destroy the world. The third coming of Jesus Christ." Brilliant!
G.G looks normal!
Lol that's what I was thinking lol guess he could turn it off when he needs to and from what I've Seen he rarely turned it off especially on camera
How do you feel about being in Florida doing this new record?
I guess it’s all right
Classic gg ! Man awesome footage - love hearing y’all crank some byrds , nice little shot of you and Gg in the limo there near the end
And the part with GG singing dear doctor is awesome , as it’s always been one of my favourites
Thanks for checking out the channel. Yeah....GG liked that Stones album (Beggars Banquet) a lot. That was a sure fun day and night. I appreciate you watching and for the support! Thanks!!
HAHAHAHA OH MY GOD, on his shirt 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha 😆😆
WOW.... I had ALWAYS wondered how the limo came to be haha
This rare footage is amazing!!! Thankyou!
Any chance you will upload the whole ~20 minuets of video footage from the limo?
Also, was this video before or after GG knocked some of his teeth out? I cant remember what year he did that.
Glad you like it! That was a very long day and night Hahaha. This was after GG got out of prison. While he was in, they deemed his teeth a heath risk and yanked what shards of teeth he had left, out of his head. I will probably do something with the other stuff at some point. There are some things that can't be put up. Thanks for checking it out!!
@@ponkmedia why can some things not be put up? what is it?
Also, have you ever read about Diogenes the Cynic, dp you see any parallels between him and Gg
Oh Wow! Funny you mention that. I was reading a bit about him and did draw certain parallels between him and GG. and..not just the obvious things. I halfway thought about doing an episode about it, but I'm not educated enough on Diogenes to intelligently speak on/about him.....yet, hahaha. Interesting stuff! How about you? Do you see it?
@@ponkmedia you definitely should! I haven't found a video essay on their similarities! Might be cool.
@@scoon2117 Yeah, I have watched a few of the videos about him etc., but haven't seen anything talking about them in the same video. Interesting food for thought!
I can only imagine what GG really had to say about the guy at 4:55 😂
You had an awesome life. What do you think of Crass?
Hahaha...well, that's debatable. We all have awesome lives at some level. Crass, it's been a while since I listened to them. I like the song Beta Motel (I think that is the name) off of the Penis Envy album.
@@ponkmediaBata Motel
Did you get the new Blood orange 7in release? It’s from the jabbers era the three songs were unreleased and I guess the only way you could hear them was at the show.
Cool. Thanks for the heads up. Have not picked it up yet. The Jabbers stuff is fun!
@@ponkmedia I know you know Gus so it should be a no brainer. I love your content man. It’s great to see him in a regular atmosphere with regular people. Can’t wait for the next video keep up the good work.
Do you by chance know what you guys were listening to right around 7:45?
Yes, that was Please Please Me by The Flamin Groovies.
Thanks for checking out the channel/content.
Was there a cleaning charge on the Limo?
Hahaha….I didn’t have to pay anything extra. I did leave the driver a nice tip though!
@@ponkmedia did you ever get any piece of GGs DNA accidentally on you whilst travelling with him?
@@EdmundSampson-pd7vi hahaha…no. We rode around, drank beer and then did the in store at Alternative Records. A great day!
Who is asking him about his court date in the limousine? I’m guessing Mark
Yes, that was me asking that question. Thanks for checking out the video. More on the way!!
Your conversations with him are funny to me
@@SpiderSnake94 Why is that?
You could tell GG was a little full of himself when he spoke
@@ponkmedia it’s funny how he’s like, “what about my court date?” arrogantly, and then you respond “yeah, your court date in Milwaukee, right?”
Did he ever shower while he was at your house ??
I had an above ground pool at the place where I was living. We swam several times, so it was like a chlorine bath, haha. Technically, no...no shower, just the pool.
Clean your camera lens.
Ok 😅
