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 ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't feel
I don't know what the fuck is real
I don't need rehabilitation
I just need my medication
I used to dream of apple pie
The girl next door
A golden thigh
The whole place just brings me down
I was born in 44
20 years later
Right for war
I better get my morphine
Because I'm allowed a medics killing machine
Get up stand up
Shut up
I want more
Get up stand up
Fuck up
You need war
In this city of my sensation
Breaking my back for this whole damn nation
I was sent to a foreign land
To kill for the glory of Uncle Sam
It's real life of nightmare shame
The things I've done in freedoms name
Now I'm a waste in society
I only know of aggression and brutality
My piece of mind
Is a mind of crap
I've had my thrills
I need my pills
I just need high sedation
What that is germination
My crutch is guilt
My crotch is dead
My crop is the wrath of Beelzebub
Get up stand up
Shut up
I need more
Get up stand up
Fuck up
You need war
Get up stand up
Shut up
I need more
Get up stand up
Fuck up
You need war
This city of my sensation
Breaking my back for this Damn nation
This city is my damn war
I'm sorry ya'll accepted
Unrational laws
Coming home you promised me
A hero's welcome
A remedy
Now I'm a waste in society
I only know of aggression and brutality
I've been paralyzed
Analyzed
I had enough of your bag of lies
I don't think
And I don't feel
I don't know what the fuck is real
You can free ya
Never see ya
Never free ya'
Notice me yeah
The lyrics to PIG's song "Veterano" convey a sense of disillusionment and despair from the perspective of a war veteran who was sent to a foreign land to fight for their country. The singer does not feel or think anymore, having been numbed by the horrors of war and the subsequent lack of support and understanding from society. He expresses a desire for medication and sedation to escape the guilt and trauma he carries with him. The repetitive chorus of "get up stand up, shut up, I need more, fuck up, you need war" emphasizes the singer's belief that war is a necessary evil, despite the toll it takes on individuals and society as a whole.
There is a strong sense of bitterness and resentment towards the people and laws that sent him to war, promising a hero's welcome but ultimately abandoning him to his own devices. The line "breaking my back for this whole damn nation" suggests a sense of betrayal and sacrifice, leading to the singer's feelings of uselessness and waste in society. The reference to "Beelzebub" at the end of the song further emphasizes the singer's spiritual descent and lack of hope for redemption.
Overall, "Veterano" is a powerful and poignant song that sheds light on the often-overlooked struggles of war veterans and the toll of war on individuals and society.

I don't think
I'm not capable of rational thought
And I don't feel
I'm emotionally numb
I don't know what the fuck is real
I'm disconnected from reality
I don't need rehabilitation
I believe medication is sufficient for my issues
I just need my medication
Medication is essential for me to function
I used to dream of apple pie
The girl next door
A golden thigh
I had simple and innocent aspirations before my traumatic experiences
And I can't take my whole town
The whole place just brings me down
My surroundings remind me of my past and trigger negative feelings
I was born in 44
20 years later
Right for war
I was born in 1944 and was drafted into the Vietnam War
I better get my morphine
Because I'm allowed a medics killing machine
I have access to powerful weapons and need drugs to cope with my role as a killer
Get up stand up
Shut up
I want more
Get up stand up
Fuck up
You need war
I resent the authority that sent me to war and believe it's necessary to fight back
In this city of my sensation
Breaking my back for this whole damn nation
I'm suffering in my own mind and body while serving my country
I was sent to a foreign land
To kill for the glory of Uncle Sam
I was deployed to Vietnam to fight for America's pride and interests
It's real life of nightmare shame
The things I've done in freedoms name
I regret the atrocities I committed and the hypocrisy of fighting for freedom while taking it away from others
Now I'm a waste in society
I only know of aggression and brutality
I'm a damaged and undesirable member of society and have lost touch with compassion and empathy
My piece of mind
Is a mind of crap
I've had my thrills
I need my pills
My mental state is in shambles and I rely on drugs to feel pleasure
I just need high sedation
What that is germination
My crutch is guilt
My crotch is dead
My crop is the wrath of Beelzebub
I crave intense numbing from my guilt and trauma, and believe evil forces are at work in my life
This city of my sensation
Breaking my back for this damn nation
This city is my damn war
I'm sorry y'all accepted
Unrational laws
My hometown symbolizes my inner strife and I feel regret for accepting misguided political decisions
Coming home you promised me
A hero's welcome
A remedy
Now I'm a waste in society
I only know of aggression and brutality
The promises of honor and healing upon my return home were empty, and I'm still stuck in my destructive mindset
I've been paralyzed
Analyzed
I had enough of your bag of lies
I'm stuck and overwhelmed by my thoughts and experiences, and resent the false promises of leaders
You can free ya
Never see ya
Never free ya'
Notice me yeah
I feel trapped and unseen, and crave acknowledgement
