I ultimately have to blame my boyfriend... last year he introduced me to the wonders of KMFDM and KMFDM Radio. While listening to KMFDM Radio I kept noticing that some of the songs I liked were by this group named PIG. Then I noticed that the singer for PIG (I didn't know names or what anyone looked like at the time) showed up in the credits for some KMFDM songs, and that one of the CDs I'd bought (Sturm & Drang 2002 tour) had PIG mentioned on the cover (I'd noticed that at the time of purchase, but at the time I had no idea who PIG were, so it meant nothing to me) and a PIG song. Then after discovering more about KMFDM and PIG via websearches and the UHB forums, I finally learned who the members of PIG were and that I really did enjoy their music... then I discovered these fora, and here I am, unexpectedly a PIG fan and learning more about industrial every day Who's next?

After drowning myself for years on the Nihil CD, drooling over Raymond. I finally heard PIG on KMFDM radio... I didn't like his music at first, but I have this weird tendency where if I hate a CD when I first get it, then one week later, I'm madly in love.... so that's basically what happened. Its corruped every part of my being. I quote lyrics and nobody knows wtf I'm talking about. Good times.

Huge fan of KMFDM. Heard of Pig when I bought the Symbols album. Downloaded a bunch of KMFDM and pig shit through Napster (When they were free), and many other free file programs. Couldn't find a Pig album in any store, until 2000. Bought GAM, and then later picked up Wrecked.

Got into it not that long ago. Long time KMFDM fan, went looking for something new and exciting, found Pig, haven't looked back since.

I fell in love with Raymond's singing after hearing JJJ on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack back in 1996 when I was 9. Early in 2004, I got the S&D DVD and heard some pig and then I downloaded some stuff from Pig vs KMFDM. About that time, the Pigmartyr album sampler and Arbor Vitate video came out and I couldn't stop listening to them so I got Pigmartyr, which led to my current obsession with Pig.

I bought KMFDM Symbols when it came out at Target before they banned it. Spit Sperm was my favorite song off of the cd. After hearing about PIG from Nothing records and linking from being on Symbols I researched PIG. I've been a PIG fan since 1997. I bought my first PIG cd Sinsation in 1997 when I was up in Michigan visiting relatives.

Randomly spotted Sinsation sitting in a record store right when it first came out. Noticed it was on Nothing Records, which was more than reason enough for me to buy it. That was in '96.
Next release I discovered was KMFDM Vs. Pig, which a friend owned. Then I imported Prime Evil from a local record shop as soon as it was released (Jan '97 - and I insanely overpayed for it). Then I found the Praise The Lard re-release. Etc, etc, etc. By my junior year in highschool ('98), I was talking with Raymond directly.

I became a PIG fan like most others here, through KMFDM. First PIG song I ever heard was from Wax Trax's "Black Box" some time around 96'. While trying to gather all the KMFDM releases in my shithole of a town I obtained KMFDM Vs PIG and was a hardcore PIG fan from then on. I tryed to order all the PIG cd's that were available at that time (98') and got "Praise The Lard", "Sinsation", "Wrecked", "Prime Evil" & "No One Gets Out of Her Alive". Since then I have stayed a huge fan and got most of the other releases that I could.

A friend of mine *waves to him if he ever reads this* got me into Pig. This one day, we swapped CDs: I gave him Guniw Tools, he gave me Pig. I absolutely loved it. This was 2 years ago. He also gave me Pigmartyr not too long ago. Yeah, he burned me a copy, so I'll need to go buy some Pig CDs pretty soon. Though, honesty, I'd rather send Raymond my money than pay the damned record companies. He'll get like 5 cents from whatever I buy.

Still not worth it, conscidering he has to pay out to other people afterwards.

ZOMG, I wish!!!!! He'll never tour Minnesota... or the US for that matter. We've pissed him off. At least that's what I read in his interviews. Bah...
Hey, does anyone know if he performs live everywhere else? Like London or something? I'm curious about his whereabouts...

First time I heard PIG was at Ground Zero in Boulder, the DJ played "Sh*t for brains". I Went up and asked him who that was after his set. Two days later I went to the record store and got "poke in the eye" and that was that. Been a fan ever since.

Crap, 92 or 93 I think. I was about 14 or so. My buddy, Enka worked there so I got to go even though I was under 18. As long as I stayed off the dance floor.
Damn, I'm feel old now....
