Carnival of Excess: the great album by Mr. GG Allin.

Well, it's something that I'd wanted to do for years, and never thought would be possible to happen, because I never thought I'd find the right guys to play that type of music. And finding those guys was just, you, know, amazing. The piano, the... I mean, it's more than I'd bargained for. I'd pictured, you know, acoustically would be great. But, you know, when I hеard the whole thing, it was like... "yеah!", you know, "this is really fuckin' amazing!"

"Carmelita" is a hit. Yeah, "Outskirts of Life" is fuckin'.... [imitates opening guitar riff] ...you know, it's just fuckin'... God! And, I mean, we did those almost a year ago. So I'm really proud of it. And I love the way Paul put those guitar parts down. I guess it was Paul who did that... Bob, yeah, I can't fucking [trails off].

And it's new, and it's fresh. The thing of it is, some are gonna like it and some aren't. Some are gonna think "oh", you know, "what the fuck is GG...", and some will think it's just crazy. It doesn't really matter. It's what we think that counts. And I think it's a great thing, and fuck what anyone else thinks.

The lyrics are great; the music's great. And as far as... it's still a GG Allin record. It doesn't have to all... all the records don't have to sound the same. It's good to go in a different direction. You know, I'm really proud of it, to no end. And the thing of it is, is I know when I get out, I'm gonna do another electric album. I thought the last one I did with ANTiSEEN was gonna be the last album.

We should have a record release party in Orlando!

Fabulous new GG Allin and his great songs.
