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.

The Gravy Train
Pig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The first foot forward is the right
The blood in the sands and the broken crutch
The blood on my hands - whose magic touch?
Yeah yeah my my my - gasoline is burning
Yeah yeah my my my - listen to the mother cry
Yeah yeah my my my - gasoline is burning
Be - bop - a - lula that's our gravy train
To the place where desperation reigns
Be - bop - a - lula deliver me from evil
For slime is this kingdom
The incubus waiting to fly
I've been ground down honey
I've been wound round your little finger
I hear the dog is fighting tonight
The first fist forward is the right
I see the would of lies through Judas' eyes
My life in your hands, your knife in my glands
Be - bop - a - lula that's my gravy train
To the place where desperation reigns
Be - bop - a - lula break the daisy chain
The is the place where desperation rains
Down
Down
Down
Down
In "Gravy Train," PIG describes a dark and sinister world that is characterized by violence, desperation, and corruption. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song as PIG hears a dog barking, which can often be a signal of danger or impending violence. PIG acknowledges that in this world, the first foot or fist forward is the right one, indicating that violence is often the first response. The blood on his hands suggests that he is implicated in this world - perhaps as a participant or a bystander - and he questions whose magic touch is responsible for the destruction around him.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the destructive nature of this world through the image of burning gasoline and the sound of a mother crying. This world is characterized by pain and suffering, and PIG longs to be delivered from it. The refrain of "Be-bop-a-lula" - a popular rock and roll song from the 1950s - suggests that music may offer a way out of this world or a way to cope with it. However, the chorus ends with the observation that "slime is this kingdom" and that an "incubus" - a demon believed to cause nightmares - is waiting to fly.
The second verse describes the personal toll that this world has taken on PIG. He feels as though he has been ground down and wound around someone's little finger, suggesting that he is a victim of this world - perhaps of someone with more power or authority than he has. The reference to Judas' lies suggests that betrayal is a common occurrence in this world. The refrain of the second verse follows the same pattern as the first, emphasizing the violence and desperation of this world and calling for a way out.
