The most outrageous performer in New York's rock underground landed behind bars after a performance that featured such raunchy lowlights as urination, defecation, self-mutilation and a naked run through the audience.
According to Florida police, GG Allin, 35, the lead singer of the GG and The Murder Junkies, kicked off their Orlando show Monday night by breaking bottles on his head and grinding the splintered glass into his forehead.
He was just warming up.
After defecating on stage, Allin and a fellow band member ate his feces and then threw some at the audience, police said.
"This is one of the most immoral and disgusting things that I have had to deal with," said Sgt. Bill Molby of Orlando.
Police didn't attempt to stop the performance until the majority of the 100 people attending the show at Orlando's Club Space Fish Café bolted from the club.
"He bled all over some girl," said an audience member who requested anonymity. "Every time he went to one side of the club, everyone ran to the other side."
Cops charged both the New York resident and bandmate Donald Sachs with exposing themselves, and seized a video tape and photographs of the show.
Allin, who could not be reached for comment, was released Tuesday.
It's not the first time that Allin, whose former groups include the Scumf-cs, the Jabbers, and AIDS Brigade, has been busted for his wildly offensive stage antics.
Mykel Board, who produced Allin's cassette "Hate Is in the Nation," estimates the controversial singer's "total arrest record is about 50 or 60."
Allin was convicted in 1989 for inciting a riot after a similar feces-flinging incident in Milwaukee.
He's currently on probation after recently serving 18 months on an assault charge pressed by an Ann Arbor woman, Board said.
That jail term allegedly prevented Allin from following up on his publicized pledge to kill himself on stage in New York on Halloween.
No arrests were made at Allin's performance last week at the NYU Loeb Student Center - but campus security halted the gig after the scatologically obsessed performer inserted bananas up his anus.
At the same performance he stripped a woman of her eyeglasses and stomped on them.
"I don't think there's any musician who's up to his lifestyle," said Gerard Cosloy, who once played in a band with Allin "for about five minutes - literally."
