@blackenedlegions ... Hey Pinky's a cool guy man. I was at a Murder Junkies show recently and bought $600 of GG merch from him. The total came to $600.85 but Pinky let me off the change. That's real punk, man! Who said Pinky's in it for the cash. He's one of the most generous guys that ever lived. talented too. and he's badass as shit. See that vid of him hitting the kid who can hardly stand up?

That's pretty good that he let you off the 85c but I don't think its that much of major deal, say if it was $10 I would think that was a good deal, however how much he was selling to you for $600 no doubt I would assume to be quite a lot & a great deal, they are all seeming to stay true to the Punk ethos Saying that I know mainly Merle & co as well make a living off the Merch they sell, GG Allin merch & Murder Junkies merch which also helps to keep GGs legacy & talent alive & introducing younger fans of the younger up coming generation into this music which is so important these days where it is so damn politically correct western would where people can no longer express themselves through music artistic freedom & expression in any way. Some art & music including stage performances are not always about someone singing lame songs about love, flowers, peace all things nice. The reality is this word can be as equally fucked up, full of violence & all the other negative aspects of society in this western world, & appears to me their are more negative aspects the land of so - called freedom of expression, equality & true liberty. I do think Paul ( PP is the greatest singer since GG fronted the band, he reminds a little of both GG Allin & Jeff Clayton combined vocally with also his own style that he brings to the table. Sick of death of people talking shit about Merle & calling him just money hungry & worst still living of the memory of his brother mainly to gain the Murder Junkies a little more recognition & attention . He is just keeping GG's memory & amazing legacy alive. He doesn't charge much/next to nothing to his fans to attend a Murder Junkies & he sells his merch including CD's cheap as fuck. A man has got to make a living & what he does or is doing is Punk Rock & its great to see he is still doing it at his age. Just like Charlie Harper from The UK Sub's he also could be considered the Peter Pan of Punk, never grow old. Current Murder Junkies including their last 3 albums are great, one of my favorite bands around today. I just still wish they could cone to New Zealand as America won't let me in to the country.

No they have nothing to do with GG, as I did say, but its just a fucking band, people have to stop comparing them to GG, and yes they play some GG covers, but no matter how much you dislike it, they play most oroginal MURDER JUNKIES songs, with a new singer, and thats about it, no big deal. Other than that Ive seen em live twice, and it was a really good show and Ive seen alot shit live. And NO I dont support Pinkys lifestyle, but I do like the murder junkies, period. Its a band god damnit...

[@calexon777]

I actually dont know whats so bad about Murder Junkies gaining some success and making money, sure might be true its the only thing Merle cares for, but you cant say they dont put on a good show, Ive seen em twice and both times I really enjoyed the gigs, and Ive seen alot of bands. And yea, the way I see it, Murder Junkies today has got nothing to do with GG, but then again thats ok since Murder Junkies is a band, its not GG. Then Merle uses GGs name to make some money, thats just fucked yea.
