At the time, Allin had been prohibited from performing as a musician in Boston since around the time his first backing band, The Jabbers, were coming to the end of their run.

Allin would later consider Freaks, Faggots, Drunks & Junkies to be one of the most definitive pieces in his discography, so much so that six of its songs would be heard - one in a live version - on the soundtrack to the 1993 documentary Hated: GG Allin and the Murder Junkies.

Three featured tracks, "Outlaw Scumfuc", "Die When You Die" and "I Wanna Kill You", are actually rewrites/parody by Allin, of the David Allen Coe song "Longhaired Redneck", of the Destroy All Monsters song "You're Gonna Die" and of former mentor David Peel's "I Want to Kill You" respectively, although no mention of this is made on any edition of Freaks, Faggots, Drunks & Junkies released to date.
