I clicked into here specifically to mention Dead or Alive, but you already mentioned it. I remember liking a couple of others from that period, but I haven't heard that stuff in a really long time and Dead or Alive is the only tune I can still remember.

"Chocolate Sundae" is pretty decent.

I'll second "Sluts in the City" and chip in "I Wanna F Myself" and "You Hate Me & I Hate You". Also the intro on Hated in the Nation when he threatens some punk rocker that he's going to "punk rock your head into the f_'in pavement!"

Hopefully the "Lazer Allin" show that PBR and PBR Jr. attended wasn't more than three or four songs long.

I like the refrain of Outlaw Scumfuc, also.


Because everybody knows that I'm a scumbag


Very soulful.

But this lyric from the same song is physically impossible:


I'll turn my back on you and I'll stick you from behind


Sorry, Kevin.  Can't be done.

Bite It, You Scum is a pretty catchy tune. I also like his version of Carmelita. Better than Warren Zevon's anyway.

Side note: I used to work with a punk rock lady who regularly hung out with Merle Allin. Strangely, she said he was into some weird shit. Who'd a thunk it?

Almost any of GG's songs can be described as "pretty good" especially from the before-he-was-totally-messed-up, Stiff-Little-Fingers-sound-a-like era.

It's when you listen to several of his songs in a row that things get dicey.

I actually have the same problem with Morrissey.
