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 Einstürzende 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 Einstürzende 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 ↴
I wanna make you go, praying everyday
It's breaking my neck
For you to talk to me I would crawl to thee
I'm gonna get you and you're gonna be mine
16 white walled, see what the world has done to me
16 valves and a shiny hood
I know that I look obscene
And I pump a pump a pump a pump a pump
A pump on my hump
Rollercoaster Chevrolet
I wanna make you go
'Cos I'm praying everyday
It's breaking my neck
For you to drive with me
I would crawl to thee
I'm gonna get you and you're gonna be mine
Little motor
I got a toaster
A TV and bar
I've got ten little fingers
And 10 little toes
You explode my mind
Drive with you
Until that day
I'm in my cupboard and I'm sweating
And I'm sweating for you
Rollercoaster Rollercoaster
I'm down and I'm bleeding
I'm up and I'm reeling
16 valves, shiny hood, see what the world has done to me
16... shiny magazine
I know that I look obscene
When I sweat and I groan
And I pump a pump a pump a pump a pump
A pump on my hump
Rollercoaster Chevrolet
I wanna make you go
'Cos I'm praying everyday
It's breaking my neck
For you to drive with me
I would crawl to thee
I'm gonna get you and you're gonna be mine
Rollercoaster Rollercoaster
Rollercoaster Rollercoaster
Rollercoaster Rollercoaster

The song "My Favourite Car" by PIG is a love song to a car, specifically a Chevrolet. The lyrics talk about the desire to make the car go and the willingness to do anything to be able to drive it. The singer is willing to crawl to the car, and sweat and groan to make it go. The car is personified as a lover, and the singer wants to possess it.
The repeated line "Rollercoaster Chevrolet" adds to this personification and creates a sense of exhilaration and excitement. The car is not just a means of transportation, but a source of pleasure and adventure. The lyrics also mention the car's shiny hood and 16 valves, which adds to its desirability.
Overall, the song is a fun and catchy tribute to the love of cars and the thrill of driving. It captures the excitement and obsession that can come with owning a beloved vehicle.

He's probably one of the most under appreciated artists who has made such a HUGE impact on this genre! He was pretty huge in Japan, from what I heard. In fact I used to have to order his CDs directly from his manager in Japan back when I was a teenager. I found out about him when I got into KMFDM. Depending on how old you are, and the fact that PIG is so low key, it's no surprise you haven't heard of him.
