Merle Allin is an American bassist and younger brother to the late punk rock singer/songwriter/performance artist GG Allin.
Merle had performed in many of GG's backing groups, including The Jabbers and The Murder Junkies, playing bass exclusively. He currently continues the Murder Junkies, his brother's last band, with a new singer, but an otherwise exact lineup (himself, guitarist William Weber III, and drummer Donald "Dino" Saches).
Merle's trademark was his overgrown Hitler style mustache (long since mutuated into a comical 'stache and goatee'). He is also covered in tattoos (his are professional ones though, unlike most of his brother's).[citation needed]
GG claimed that he once gave Merle a blowjob on stage[citation needed], but this has never been verified. It is also written by GG in the liner notes of GG's Freaks, Faggots, Drunks and Junkies album, that he had sex with his brother, although this is more than likely to be a bit of hyperbole on GG's part.
Merle currently resides in Nutley, New Jersey and spends his time writing music, organizing tours, maintaining his brother's estate (including selling various GG Allin CD's, DVD's, and other merchandise through GGAllin.com), and pursuing his passions in the macabre. He also owns a large collection of American serial killer art work, most notably the John Wayne Gacy painting of his brother that appears on the cover of the Hated soundtrack. He has had correspondences with all of the featured serial killers.
He has been married twice; his second wife he met while he and GG were at a Butthole Surfers concert.
