There has never been a performance like this on SNL before or since and there probably never will.

Essential Viewing round 1

For one week only, Pitchfork is hosting the classic gg allin documentary "HATED", full and uncut. Click and watch. Enjoy.

Hated


If you have never seen it, or have never heard of GG, watch it now and thank me later. While on the topic of bad ass music documentaries, do yourself a favor and watch Heavy Metal Parking Lot, another classic shot entirely in the parking lot of a judas priest concert, circa 1986. 16 minutes worth of tailgating, shotgunning, shittalking, babes, metal, mayhem and spandex. Glorious.

RIP strange one
