1) In his past lives, PIG … Read Full Bio ↴There are more than one artist named PIG.
1) In his past lives, PIG was Lord Raymond Watts, known variously as Raymond Scaballero in Foetus, an icy addition to Psychic TV, a savage PA destroyer in EinstΓΌrzende Neubauten, and a founding catalyst of KMFDM. Watts began his arrest record in London where he was most likely pissed off about something and doing sound manipulations, loops and live sound for Psychic TV. He soon crashed into EinstΓΌrzende Neubauten (probably in a strip bar) and escaped the smug complacency of the English music scene by moving to Hamburg, Germany and setting up his Building Site studio in a bunker of munitions factory, where he invited in artists including Sprung Aus Den Wolken, Die Haut, and Christiane F. In his pursuit of a cutting edge music scene he sought out like-minded souls to create terrorism instead of tonality. Playing on European/American Neubauten tours, he quickly earned a reputation for destroying PA systems -- the security guards sent by the PA companies to protect the gear were not amused. Between their security thugs and ones hired by Watts to protect him from them, most nights ended up bloody, tense and occasionally on fire.
While collaborating with Neubauten's "gritter" twins: Blixa Bargeld and FM Einheit, Watts lived in the red light district next to a brothel, in amongst the sleaze of the Hamburg docks. Watts heard about Sascha Konietzko who was doing bizarre work with vacuum cleaners, and after drinking him into submission, dragged him and his tall, pale cohort En Esch down the stairs into the freezing Building Site studio, where they locked themselves into Watts' "frozen cesspit" with 20' steel sheets and other garbage, emerging with the debut What Do You Know Deutschland?
As one of the architects of the KMFDM sound, Watts went east to plow through the entrails of the German avant garde, planting the seed of his new experiment while KMFDM moved to America. The mutant was born out of the blood and piss in a basement studio opposite the Berlin Wall and became the 1988 debut album A Poke In The Eye. In addition, Watts was recruited by Foetus (Jim Thirwell) to be in his first live band, and after a European tour which involved disappearances, catholic school girls, and worms, Thirwell stayed on the produce the 12" Shit for Brains. Watts said he'd buy the next round and went to the US to record Steroid Maximus with Thirwell, and also did sound for Crime & the City Solution.
When the wall came down, Watts split his time between London and Tokyo, looking for a new alien habitat after Berlin's pleasure dome exploded. PIG morphed with various collaborators and Watts started working with Japanese musicians, turning his attention to Schaft, which became a huge hit there. The Watts system emerged as an elastic style of working with refuse and collaborating with pariahs: one man's trash is another man's treasure, darling.
Long-time PIG fan Trent Reznor came to see him around '91/'92 at a tiny club in Camden, England and introduced himself to the unimpressed Watts who was surprised that this fellow knew most of PIG's scattered discography. PIG was invited to open Nine Inch Nails' European tour in '94 -- complete with real pig heads on stage that were a load of fun after a few days' decomposition. Later, in 1995, Reznor's Nothing label released his fourth album, Sinsation.
In the mid 1990s, Konietzko ran into Watts again and they worked on the Sin, Sex & Salvation EP, which led to Watts returning to the fold for Nihil, the most successful KMFDM album to date, which included the Watts-penned hit Juke Joint Jezebel. Watts also appeared on the band's Symbols album, doing vocals on the delightfully-titled Spit Sperm and Unfit, while KMFDM's Gunter Schulz and Sascha Konietzko appear on the 1997 release Wrecked, furthering their incestuous relationship.
Still bigger in Japan than the rest of the world, PIG released his sixth album, Genuine American Monster, there in 1999. Finally, in 2002, PIG found a new American home with the Metropolis Records label, who had that year recently released the album ATTAK.
In 2012 PIG released two demos; written by Watts; and performed by Watts and Marc Heal (Cubanate) entitled: Drugzilla (Rough As A Hog's Arse Mix) released on June 8th; Shake (Rough Mix) released on July 14th; and Drugzilla (Pork Talk Mix by Raymond Watts) released on December 2nd.

PIG Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To this shit that never ends
There behind the glass
Is the ever spreading ass
Your thrills in hoc, we got electroshocks
Golden worlds and shit-filled pearls
Hands that steal and mouths that heal
So step right up and baby, you will feel...whole
We got high flown airs, electric chairs
Hooks and whores, fucks and laws
Stay, shut up and take a little token
Keep your mouth shut baby
And your legs wide open
To the lonely preach, my sweet fake
Every dollar, we will take
Welcome back my, friends
To our sordid little end
We got hits and writs and lines of shit
A twisted take and a sweet mistake
We've got a serpent, sinner, loser, winner
Drunk or sober, it's never over
I'm whole
To the lonely preach, my sweet fake
Every dollar, we will take
Well, our thinking's slow
Our drinking's fast
Hope your torture truly lasts
You want reward
You want pain
We want risk
And we want veins
Keep your eyes shut, here's a little token
Keep your mouth shut, baby
And your legs wide open
Keep your eyes shut, here's a little token
Keep your mouth shut, baby
And your legs wide open
Dream on, baby
Dream on, baby, dream on
Dream on, baby
Dream on, baby, dream on
To the lonely preach, my sweet fake
Every dollar, we will take
Dream on, baby, dream on
Dream on, baby
Dream on, baby, dream on
The lyrics to PIG's song "Take" explore themes of manipulation, exploitation, and the thirst for power and control. The opening lines sarcastically welcome back the listener to the never-ending cycle of corruption and greed that characterizes society. The "ever spreading ass" behind the glass represents the constant temptation and indulgence that people are offered, while the references to electroshocks and hooks and whores suggest a world of punishment and reward, where individuals are controlled through fear and desire.
The chorus of the song is particularly biting, as it addresses those who preach falsehoods and swindle others for their own gain. The line "every dollar, we will take" highlights the sense of entitlement and callous disregard for the well-being of others that appears to motivate those in power. The repeated refrain of "keep your mouth shut, baby, and your legs wide open" reinforces the idea of subjugation and exploitation, as people are reduced to objects to be used and discarded.
The verses of the song go on to depict a world of excess, where drugs and sex are used as tools of control, and where people are encouraged to take risks and get high. The line "hope your torture truly lasts" suggests a kind of sadism and a desire to see others suffer, while the final chorus encourages the listener to dream on, even as they are being manipulated and led astray.
Overall, PIG's "Take" is a dark and biting critique of modern society, where greed and corruption rule and individuals are reduced to pawns in a game of power.
