Murder Junkies
Encyclopedia
Murder Junkies is the album in which GG Allin
used ANTiSEEN
as his backing band. It was released in France by New Rose records. The title of the album was appropriated from the name of an obscure Texas band (formed entirely independently of Allin) - which performed as his backing band for several live dates in the late 1980's; a name in turn appropriated by Allin for the name of the studio band (including Allin's friend Mark Sheehan on guitar) which recorded the GG Allin and the Murder Junkies "Watch Me Kill" 6 track e.p., released on Fuckin' A/Stomach Ache Records in 1991. The third GG Allin-related band calling itself the Murder Junkies was formed in the same year, around the time that the GG Allin and ANTiSEEN Murder Junkies album was recorded. This final outfit calling itself The Murder Junkies
became what would prove to be GG Allin's last backing band.
The album consists of spoken word by Allin, interspersed with musical tracks featuring Allin on vocals backed by ANTiSEEN.
Jeff Clayton, lead singer of ANTiSEEN, has described this album as a mixed blessing. Although he is very happy with the way it turned out, he thinks that a lot of people got the impression that they are nothing more than a backing band for GG. Clayton has stated that GG Allin was very professional during the recording of the album, and he wonders how much of GG's stage act was real and how much of it was "for the marks." In professional wrestling, a mark is someone who believes that everything in the ring is real.
In 2003, a second CD version of the album was released by TKO Records. This version omitted Allin's spoken word material in favor of bonus material: the GG Allin and ANTiSEEN "Violence Now" 7", and the GG Allin and the Carolina Shitkickers "Layin' Up With Linda" 7" e.p. The Carolina Shitkickers, contrary to popular hearsay, were not simply ANTiSEEN under another name. The band was composed of Jeff Clayton (ANTiSEEN), Jeff Young (aka BBQ Young and Brother of Joe Young, guitarist for ANTiSEEN), Greg Clayton (ANTiSEEN) and Robert Everett (a.k.a. Suave Robbe - pronounced Swa-vey Ra-bey). The Carolina Shitkickers e.p. is composed of acoustic country music
- as opposed to the punk rock that that ANTiSEEN played on the "Murder Junkies" album and "Violence Now" 7" - and was recorded in Charlotte, NC, very shortly before GG's passing.
