If anyone could be considered "a regular" on the indecent exposure scene, that distinction would have to be given to shock rocker GG Allin. Known almost exclusively for his ridiculously obscene and disturbing live shows, Allin was proud of his status as the preeminent degenerate of punk rock.

He was known to defecate, self-mutilate, and masturbate on stage, sometimes all in one night. He'd even go so far as to eat his own feces mid-song if he thought it would get a bigger reaction from the crowd. GG Allin was not what you'd call "well adjusted."

As you'd expect with these kinds of cheeky "antics," the guy rarely finished a concert before the place was shut down by police. Allin claimed to have been arrested more than 50 times during his career, often for flashing his junk.

One of his more notable arrests happened during a gig in Austin, Texas, where he performed his usual ritual of flinging feces into the audience and causing a riot.

The police officer called to the scene noted that Allin "was nude and staggering around the stage, bleeding from the forehead." Though the officer stated Allin was wearing only black gloves and a dog collar, he didn't "make any lewd gesture with his genitals or anus." So at least he had that going for him.

He was arrested for an outstanding warrant, probably because they thought charging him with indecent exposure yet again was a tad redundant.
