+sAM bUTTERFIELD no sir, I don't agree. Dwight Yoakam's version is better than Warren Zevons in my opinion. But this is the best version of them all, hands down!
@@alexanderhantel7532 Weird as it is, if he were alive, he would be part of the LGBTQ people. He used to make his brother suck him off and then he'd "finish" the job. I imagine he would have had quite a strong odouyr tpo.
Absolutely. Just arrived in Nashville today and playing this on my acoustic on the porch. Came here for reference cause this is the best version in my opinion.
He is actually a great man he turns to different man in stage especially when their music was playing but in backstage or other footage he just act like average drug addict
VariousValue unfortunately so am I so this, and in this room are two that I really like. But in an earlier comment for me people suggested some other songs because I've only heard those and when I die, and I get the feeling I'm only getting softer side, but if you go if you comments above you'll see what I'm talking about because I left this comment a few months ago...
He was a shock rocker that wanted to make more hard-core music I'm sure, because the songs i've heard are definitely not shit throwing material at concerts so I wanted to be exposed to so if his other stuff because I've been aware of him for so long- just never bothered with his music… But the more I listen to even his rougher ones that were recommended to me, he really wasn't a horrible artist, but I assume he wasn't getting enough fame on the music alone because it was so notorious and that's why he felt he had to be a shock rocker and do shit like beat people up and throw shit to get any kind of popularity or fame
You are right. Thank you. Unfortunately, most of the so called punks nowadays mostly hate GG. But a lot of the "punk" scene is toxic nowadays.. it's so far removed from real punk it's an insult to even call it punk. Like if you go on the punk subreddits and boards online.. it's just cringe. They don't really get punk at all. They don't realise it's really a state of mind.. punk is a rejection of all the things they are and push, it's freedom of self, freedom of thought, a rejection of the oppressive, moralistic, consumerist society.. a lot of it is about individualism, expression, freedom and liberty. They literally tell people what to think and what to believe now.. even if I generally agree with the point it is they're pushing, I don't agree with them saying "oh, you have to believe this or you aren't punk" acting like the things they are claiming to be opposed to. I think people should be allowed to think for themselves. They want you to conform to their beliefs.. and silence any others. I feel many of the younger generation who call themselves punk are just posers and gatekeepers.
@@Sinnerboy88 "They literally tell people what to think and what to believe now." It's always been that way. Spouting off against fascists while dictating that to be in their special club you had to think, speak, and look like them. I also wouldn't base anything on Reddit, there's a reason "Redditor" is used as a pejorative 🤣
The first recordings he put out with the Jabbers shows he had musical talent, I just lament for the music we could have gotten if he didn't go down the path he did. We'd have a lot more of this and a lot less of cringey shit like "Cock on the Loose"
@@lukejackson5267 he put himself through being abused by his father out in the middle of nowhere?? There's a whole backstory to GG's method to his madness life he later lived
I was only 4 when this was recorded but it speaks to my life I spent one of the best summers of my life strung out on painkillers with a a girl named carmelita. My uncle used to sing part of this song when we were around now I know why. No joke lol. I'm 5 years in recovery on methadone
I'm not so sure I'd consider methadone recovery. I am pretty sure its replacement therapy. I am scared to death of methadone. I've kicked it a few times and its the "gift that just keeps on giving" H is a lot more intense , but the done... I was kicking like a whole.month. I am extra careful to not let it grab me again.
@@shanemiller2046 Yes. I was on methadone 13 years. I had to get back on smack to get off of it. I finally got on subs & it's nothing like methadone. It doesn't get you high. I've been clean taking subs for over 4 years. Never going back.
when the pills and booze are gone and left with the withdrawals, almost dying "hold me tighter i think im sinking down" were word i wished someone couldve done for me.
BEEN CLEAN FOR 8 MONTHS! LIFETIME JUNKIE, I WAS. ......NOT ANYMORE, I FINALLY GOT OFF THE MORPHINE & HEROIN! I STILL LOVE GG! IT FEELS AWESOME, TOO! GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!
I met Merle at a show and he said off stage, if you weren't an egotistical asshole he was really chill. And if you were he would take that away from you.
It's sad to me. My brother has those same demons. When he can ignore them, he is an amazing person. Unfortunately, we don't see that side often. It's easy to judge.. But I wont
Skittles VonHelvete Im a junkie. and its hard to see it from the outside in, but i am hurting the people that love me. hopefully you guys get through to him.
+Cyndy Gough Honey I'm 27, kicking subs, I've been on dope for over 10 years. I'm with you. My old man is dying in a cage at Coyote Ridge, I've lost everyone, LITERALLY, everyone to AIDS or dope. You're not alone, we're all trying. You can do it and since I chant instead of conventional prayer your name is added to my list.. Its a dick move to promote any religious choice, but chanting does work. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. It saves lives lol.
Sakura Blossom I've been addicted to opiates 25 years. Heroin methadone & pain pills. Now I'm on Subs but its better than heroin. But listening to you maybe I need to leave them alone. I'm just old and tired. Thanks for the kind words.
+Cyndy Gough I'm coming off subs now, on my way to Chicago. my best friend had a nervous breakdown and his mom needs help caring for him. He's full on syd Barrett.. This shit sucks, and kicking sucks worse, BUT, you can do it. we all can. we're the alphas, those who can survive anything. You can do it hon, and I'm still chanting for you. Good luck
Thank you for the encouragement and chanting. I'm trying to stay strong but I don't think I can make it without the Subs....but that's better than being on heroin & dope sick every morning when I wake up. Take care in your journey.
Beautifully sung! Addiction is a Mother! I speak from experience unfortunately. Currently dope free but stuck with these liquid handcuffs. I hope all those still sick and suffering get the help they need and deserve. Peace.
I was on a Zevon kick just a few minutes ago, and carmelita came on, I think I made it a verse before I had to come here. I think this song is GG's now. In my mind. anyway
GG says Jim Beam was his only friend in life. But truly, music was also GG's best friend. After all those years, the music is what stuck by him the most.
gg was highly intelligent and an artist by all definition. The man was a reflection of a sick society and people wrote him off as a talentless side show.In all reality he was showing the audience themselves and revealing their dirty little secrets through himself. He recorded some great music during his career and had he wanted to bridle his energy and talents he could have been the next best thing since Elvis and the Beatles. Dead for more than 20 years and people still cant figure out the joke was on them.
why do you think people hated him so much? he showed them the ugly truth, the thoughts everyone has but will never admit, the fact that every single person could become a monster given the right circumstances, and that scares the ever loving shit out of people.
GG made some good music, but he's kind of like your average homeless junkie who was able to perform on a stage instead of a street corner or crack house. There is always a twisted realness with those kind of people but it's definitely easier to admire & intellectualize from a safe distance

@Quasimoto I didn't know Richard was a co writer, but I did know dee dee was a writer of the song. Then the Ramone's did thier version of it and change Dee Dee to R D or Ardie...but thanx for the info!! Dee Dee kinda jumped back and forth between the two band's ( probably due to his drug of choice--SMACK😁!!!

What ever anyone says about him, well you can say this, he was true to himself, lived and died the way he wanted. You can see the inner pain in his eyes. Poor bastard.
GG also did a country album called Carnival of Excess. This is the full length movie featuring his country songs. ua-cam.com/video/kMDqYW0U90A/v-deo.html
Anyone else notice this was in a bathroom? It looks like he is sitting on the bathtub and there's a sink in front of him. The shower curtain gives it away.
Yes, We shot it in the bathroom. GG just wandered in there, I set up a camera and the person singing back up jumped in the bath tub. Very cool and organic moment.
I went from Tom Russells cut of this classic from Warren Zevon to get here, very interesting seeing GG with a literal needle on his guitar crooning such a classic country rock style tune. It's going to be a strong 7 from me Dog
He was a lunatic who I couldn't be in the same room as, but I can't help but sing this song every so often. I even play it on the guitar once I've warmed up with some chords and scales. The chords are E major, B7 and A major.

I did a thing.
One afternoon a month ago, I played this video for my partner and he was like, "WHO TF is this?!" in total awe. 🤘🏽 🙏🏽
The dude had talent, he could write and perform well when he wanted to. Just also had those demons.
So true . GG is the scariest guy I could love
Beautiful song....this is by far the best version I've heard. You can tell he is singing from the bottom of his Heroin coated heart. Beautiful!

I'm kind of fascinated by GG. He seemed tortured but you get the sense that he had a heart of gold.
heart of gold?
lol you need to grow up.
No he hadn't
Even Merle says that's not true. He wasn't the crazed lunatic off the stage as on the stage but definitely no heart of gold, either

can hear the pain in his voice gg a tormented soul that is just a reflection of us all. rip gg
This is the best song to play when you are going through withdrawal, if you don't have dope at least you got GG,
@Herb Tenderson works beautifully til you try to stop taking the Kratom.
damn thats sad to hear you say
For real this comment makes me happy because I feel that exact same way. Every time I’m dopesick I listen to GG Allin.
I love Rock n Roll & The Blues. But when I was dope sick, the only thing that helped was dope. Period. End of subject.....
He speaks for all of us goin thru it... Shit gets real asf
Such a disturbed, abused man. You can hear the weight of his heart in every vocal.
It's sad that he went through so much.
He put himself through it

This is a great song....shows how vulnerable he is.... and very truthful
GG allin was a very misunderstood and underrated singer/songwriter. He was a true poet living before his time in a world that wasn't ready for him
But you know he didn't write this song right? Warren Zevon did
@@sunshinedaydream70 yes I'm quite aware of that.
Actually he was an overrated urinal cake.

You can almost feel GG rolling over when he's prefaced by a corporate advertisement.
still waiting for a paycheck

best version of the song ive heard, original isnt all that great but GG knew there was something there...

Songs of his like this make me wonder why most critics don't praise GG. He was a true talented artist.
This isn't one of his songs it's a warren Zevon song
GG says Jim Beam was his only friend in life.
But truly, music was also GG's best friend.

Love 💕 or Hate , GG he is a legend
The true God of Rock n Roll!!! didn't give a FUCK! long live his spirit!! we need more like him. GG Forever!!!!
I hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes, they glow in the dark
And I'm there with you and it's a not-a
And I'm here in echo park
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on ElDorado Street
At the county chicken stand
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well I'm sitting here playing Russian Roulette
With my pearle handled gun
The county won't give me any more Methadone
And they cut off your welfare check
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Warren Zevon
Song is my new lullaby
I've seen Johnny Thunders have a needle on his guitar just like that in the 70's
Awesome, another ( Heartbreaker's Fan) I'm Livin on a Chinese Rock👍💀!!!
@Quasimoto I didn't know Richard was a co writer, but I did know dee dee was a writer of the song. Then the Ramone's did thier version of it and change Dee Dee to R D or Ardie...but thanx for the info!! Dee Dee kinda jumped back and forth between the two band's ( probably due to his drug of choice--SMACK😁!!!
Cool!
This made me cry. He was a man that never felt loved.
He knew ppl love him, he just didnt love anyone himself and lived with so much hatred for everybody.
All of that hate is what made him. But in the end, it caught up to him!
@Hammerschlägen M He wasn't very loved. He was enabled by his entourage. It's easy and fun to destroy yourself if someone is doing it with you.
@Hammerschlägen M I agree, but his mom loved him. I feel like his brother Merle did too. My little brother went through an extreme time of alcoholism. He's clean now and I'm proud of him. I'm drunk as fuck right now though.
@Hammerschlägen M Agreed, brother. You too, bud.
Beautiful
where was this shot I wonder? probably some random persons house after a show where everybody went to shoot dope.
It was shot in my bathroom in Tampa Fl while GG was there and we were making Carnival of Excess (audio and video/dvd)
Ponk Media wow no shit! that's fuckin awesome
Ponk Media you met GG, holy fuck I'm envious!!
Ponk Media but was there dope shooting ?
Mark bacdafucup you not see the spike in the neck of the guitar? Camera even zoomed in on it a few times
Lol , a fuckin rig on the bridge . He was a dangerous man .

monkeymilk CORRECT.
Alvarado street!!
Frank Atchison nearly..
@@donovanscott8038 Nearly What?
Frank Atchison GG did sing “county chicken stand”and not pioneer chicken stand.So you both were ‘NEARLY CORRECT’.HURRAY!!!!!!!
Słyszę jak Mariachi brzęczą w eterze
A ekrany w ciemności świecą
I jestem z nią tam w Ensenada
I jestem tu w Parku Echo
Carmelita trzymaj mnie mocniej)
Bo się zapadać zaczynam
Gdzieś na obrzeżach miasta
Złapała mnie heroina
Więc siedzę i stawiam pasjansa
Mą talią oprawną perłowo
Odcięli mi mój metadon
I wzięli Ci zapomogę
Carmelita złap mnie mocniej
Bo czuję że w ziemię wrastam
Wrąbany po uszy w herę
Gdzieś na rubieżach miasta
Cóż, zastawiłem Koronę
I idę spotkać dilera
Trzyma się Alvarado Street
I stoiska z kurczakami Pioneera
Więc trzymaj mnie Carmelita
Bo się zaczynam zapadać
Wrąbany w heroinę
Tam, gdzie się kończy osada
Gdzieś na obrzeżach miasta
Dopadła mnie heroina
Więc trzymaj mnie Carmelita
Bo się osuwać zaczynam

he tuned his guitar about as often as he showered haha
No shit , I can usually tell what string is out of tune. In this case I am listening for.one to be in tune.
Why would anybody shower
FUCK ALL OF YOU , GG ALLIN SHOULD BE IN THE ROCK N ROLL HALL of FAME !!
@roochuckyroo GG wouldn't wanna be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He didn't believe that's real rocknroll and he was right
It adds to the GG experience
What ever anyone says about him, well you can say this, he was true to himself, lived and died the way he wanted. You can see the inner pain in his eyes. Poor bastard.
GG ..Miss the crazy fun times
Michael Rose, you had to stand in the back of the bar he was playing at. Saw him 3 times. He threw shit once. It was funny watching the dumbasses run!
GG also did a country album called Carnival of Excess. This is the full length movie featuring his country songs.

Anyone else notice this was in a bathroom? It looks like he is sitting on the bathtub and there's a sink in front of him. The shower curtain gives it away.
Yes, We shot it in the bathroom. GG just wandered in there, I set up a camera and the person singing back up jumped in the bath tub. Very cool and organic moment.
Ponk Media
No offense but is there any proof that you were friends with GG Allin?
Better acoustics
TheSeattlegreen No of course not 😂
I think GG is sitting on the shitter. That would be more his style.
Beautiful.
When you notice the needle stuck in the guitar.. 😂 GG was the man
one of the realest songs EVER!!
Thank you Ponk Media for this!
Hero
I can smell this room my screen... god damn
Such a God GG love u my hero
Love this!
Pobrecito QEPD... Que buen tema
IM JELKING TO THIS
I went from Tom Russells cut of this classic from Warren Zevon to get here, very interesting seeing GG with a literal needle on his guitar crooning such a classic country rock style tune. It's going to be a strong 7 from me Dog
Lol I wonder if he ever played this song live and shitted in his hand. I heard he would do stuff like that
@@acslaterlol no.. never did acoustic songs live
He was a lunatic who I couldn't be in the same room as, but I can't help but sing this song every so often.
I even play it on the guitar once I've warmed up with some chords and scales.
The chords are E major, B7 and A major.
Very intriguing guy
Who is this sweet man?
Manda Lund Why?
Well that made me crack the fuck up
@@donovanscott8038 sweet man? Really? The man who assaults women? The man who takes a shit and throws it at people? Yeah that's a really sweet man
F'n classic! Tara still misses you GG! 😔
