They are supposedly a band. Some guy, who nobody has heard of, called in a bunch of favors and lined up a number of “B” level industrial musicians.
This is his idea of a super group.
Since then, he’s been begging for followers on Twitter, begging for likes on Facebook, and begging for money on Indiegogo. (or Kickstarter maybe–can’t remember)
Now he’s annoyed because people have been asking to hear some actual music.
So he begrudgingly put together an unlistenable sampler of 2 second clips from their songs. (posted above)
He’s got a shitty attitude, and he treats what “fans” he has like they’re some petty annoyance. I was interested at one point, but fuck this guy.
I commented on one of his threads once where he was boo-hoo-hooing about being handicapped and whatnot. I called him out for playing the victim card and wanting people to bend over for him . . . . yeah, he quickly deleted his original posts, haha!
Yeah, he really pissed me off the other night. Was whining about all the “haters”. And this attitude about releasing the sampler, he said “Well since you people won’t let us release the music like WE want to–here!”
And then he puts up a clip which literally sounds like nothing. No editing, no effort. Just 2 seconds of random noise.

I’d hardly call Raymond Watts, Burton C. Bell, Luc Van Acker and Chris Vrenna B level. But it’s your call to sound like a moron. I also wouldn’t call them losers either Gunnar. However, the head honcho is and props for calling him on playing the “I’m disabled, so feel sorry for me card.”
Recording update: Two songs fronted by PIG Watts are 100% complete and amazing! He’s working on vocals for a couple more.
Dave Ogilvie is putting the finishing touches on one of Graham Crabb’s fronted songs (my favorite song of ours right now…but that changes daily too). Crabb has vocals complete on 2 other songs. There’s a couple more in the pipeline we’re playing with as well.
Burton C Bell is practicing for 4 songs and plans to begin tracking vocals in about 10-14 days if all goes according to plan.
We’ve also got some other odds and ends we’re finishing up music on to see how they turn out. Vocals are always last to be recorded so that should give you an idea of where we’re at.
A song is being remixed by Front Line Assembly and a couple surprise people for release with our 1st single.
Frankly, I am a Pig fan and a Tweaker fan. But, in the hierarchy of industrial music, they are not “A” level.
Luc maybe.
“A” level would be Al, Ogre, Bill Leeb, Sasha, etc. Guys from that class.
My ass they aren’t! Vrenna, who’s arguably the backbone to NIN. Just because PIG didn’t get as big as some of the other bands doesn’t mean Watts isn’t in the same class as the others. He’s one of the founders of KMFDM, and he was involved in their best selling album (Nihil) and their biggest hit “Juke Joint Jezebel.” How you put Bill Leeb above those guys is beyond me. Just because he was on WaxTrax? So was PIG.

Idk, any ‘A’ list that doesnt include a member of Throbbing Gristle is a bit off, TG practically created the genre. Also wasnt Watts a big part of shifting KMFDM’s sound from a funk band into the noisey rock band we’ve come to know?
Watts over Sascha anyday. Leeb is a poor man’s Ogre. Reznor a poor mans Al. Watts a poor man’s Sascha lol. I could go on.

I’d say that credit goes more to Gunter Schulz and Mark Durante, but I could be wrong on that. I’m only basing that off of Angst being a pretty heavy album.
Watts over Sascha anyday.
Indeed.
Leeb is a poor man’s Ogre.
lol
Reznor a poor mans Al.
Nah, just a wannabe
Watts a poor man’s Sascha lol.
Now that’s where your totally wrong. Those two are completely separate entities. But they also go together like PB and J.
I like Burton. I don’t give a damn about 90% of the music he’s made but he’s got a lot of heart, gives his all on stage, and is a really cool cat. I don’t know what he’s doing slummin’ it with these buttsacks, but, hey, whatever. The rest of them I am totally apathetic to . . . except for that hideous greaseball Erie and the crybaby retard running their social media and giving handjobs in the studio.
To my knowledge Erie is on the production side of things. I won’t knock him there til I hear something from these guys. I could hear plenty of Watts in the samples so I’m excited. Yeah, they were shitty samples, though. They could’ve at least given us the iTunes treatment of 90 seconds.
You expect more than 2 seconds? They’ve only had 6 months to work on it, Bro! So, yeah, at this rate you should have a complete song . . . . . in 2075.
