Books by Reid Chancellor

Born as Jesus Christ Allin and raised in rural isolation by a violently abusive religious fanatic, GG Allin grew up to be one of punk''s most controversial figures. His onstage antics, which included throwing blood and faeces at the audience, overshadowed his music. In this first substantial biography of the man who wanted to make rock ''dangerous'' again, author and illustrator Reid Chancellor portrays Allin''s life and early death with sensitivity, asking us to look beyond the shocking spectacle to understand the troubled human behind the scenes, and the societal forces that pushed him to the edge of creative expression.

2020 marks the 27th anniversary of the death of GG Allin, the most notorious rock n roll artist of all time. He was loved and hated, but it was clear to everyone that he knew how to create a spectacle: defecating on stage, throwing blood at the audience, self-mutilation, and violent attacks. This colouring and activity book honours the best of his unique creative expression. Draw his tattoos, colour his infamous onstage antics, engage with his unflinching takes on death, pain, and religion. Channel your rage through the page.
