50 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT PIG DESTROYER
Monday, July 27th, 2009 at 4:30pm by Axl Rosenberg- They’re called Pig Destroyer.
- They’re called “Pig Destroyer” because they thought “Cop Killer” lacked tact.
- Their lyrics would often seem to be misogynistic.
- Their lyrics are not actually misogynistic.
- Actually I have no proof that their lyrics are not actually misogynistic, but Decibel keeps telling me they’re not so I’m just gonna run with it.
- That they have a song called “Piss Angel.”
- That said song closes what’s basically a concept album about a nut job stalking his ex.
- That for about sixteen glorious seconds, “Carrion Fairy” turns into the best Metallica song that Metallica have completely failed to write in the 21 century.
- Their cover art. All of it.
- Scott Hull’s guitar playing.
- That Scott Hull used to be in Anal Cunt.
- That Scott Hull is also in Agoraphobic Nosebleed.
- That Scott Hull is also in Japanese Torture Comedy Hour.
- That Scott Hull also has a weird secret government job.
- That Scott Hull described his son who doesn’t like grind as “my Alex P. Keaton.”
- I pretty much just have a giant man-crush on Scott Hull, okay?
- Did I mention they’re called Pig Destroyer?
- That someone in the band is obsessed with Domo, the weird Asian children’s doll that looks like a turd:
- The lyrics to “Trojan Whore.”
- The lyrics to “Soft Assassin.”
- The lyrics to “Girl in a Slayer Jacket.”
- Actually, just all of J.R. Hayes’s lyrics.
- Also the way J.R. Hayes stalks in a circle while screaming on-stage.
- Also, Brian Harvey’s drumming.
- Also, Blake Harrison is there, too.
- The fact that the band apparently still practices in a band member’s parent’s basement.
- The fact that the band members all have other jobs so that they never have to depend on Pig Destroyer for their income so that they never have to compromise, ever.
- The fact that they have never compromised, ever.
- The fact that they will never compromise, ever.
- The fact that they’re making so much noise with so few members.
- Also, fuck bass players.
- That one of their videos stars a member of Dry Kill Logic.
- Time to mention that they’re called Pig Destroyer again.
- That they have so many splits, singles, comps, and other assorted shit that trying to keep track of it all is like trying to keep track of the filmography of any given “I made 81 movies just this week” porn star.
- Speaking of porn: the phrase “pornographers of sound” doesn’t actually mean anything, but it sure looks cool on a hoodie.
- That my ex didn’t want me to buy said hoodie.
- That I bought it anyway.
- Speaking of hoodies: Their merch.
- “Natasha.”
- How shocked people are by “Natasha.”
- That they’ve work with William S. Burroughs.
- That they’ve worked with Paul Booth.
- That they’ve worked with John Baizley.
- Are they still called Pig Destroyer? They are? Okay, cool.
- The riff that starts this song:
- Everything that comes after the riff that starts that song.
- That they don’t really tour, thus making every Pig Destroyer show an event.
- That they absolutely rape live.
- That they will absolutely rape me and many others live this Friday night.
- Oh yeah. They’re called fucking Pig Destroyer.
-AR
There are still tickets available for this Friday night’s Blackened Music Series show featuring Brutal Truth, Pig Destroyer and Repulsion. WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE STILL TICKETS LEFT?!?!
Did I miss something? What happened to Metal GF? And did you get the hoodie, anway? I want one now. And while I’m at it, I totally forgot I meant to get the super-hardcore black hoodie with the black hoodie on front….
Yes, you did buy it. So I haven’t been paying attention, in more ways than one…
metalgf is Vince’s girl.
37. That I bought it anyway.
But WHY couldn’t you have posted this BEFORE I acknowledged that I’m a lazy dumbass?? You could’ve saved me the trouble of re-reading! Erm, anyway, thanks.
I also own a PxDx hoodie, but it just has their logo on the front. Still though, I bought a hoodie and I live in hot freaking Texas. I did it for PxDx. :)
Fuck yeah, you are lucky you get to see PD live. I demand footage.
Metal Injection will be doing a crazy 6-cam shoot. Oh it will be sick.
and thats why I love you guys!
Too bad the sound in that Masonic Temple is atrocious.
Don’t tease me.
I came

Friday is so GRIND!!!!!!
so that was really only about 40 things. poser
I love your posts, dude.
FUCKING PIG DESTROYER! Man I saw the clip of JR screaming over the band when his mike broke at cbgb’s(?) and was so impressed I went out and got Phantom Limb and then Terrifyer. Fucking amazing band that I have not had the pleasure of seeing live yet.
When i got “Phantom Limb” my mom was disgusted by the cover art. I found it to be very metal
Sorry but your mom’s stupid. That album cover is a work of art.
I would kill every person who has ever posted on this website in order to see Pig Destroyer live. In fact, I can’t think of a better rite of passage to a PD gig. You all better watch your backs.
Start with rape; it’s how we all really wanna go out.
What couldn’t anybody love about Pig Destroyer?!
What about the 4th member of Pig Destroyer who doesn’t actually do anything in Pig Destroyer?
^What are you talking about?! Blake Harrison brings the noise!
I will also be raped by them, for the fourth time (!), and Brutal Truth and Total Fucking Destruction this Saturday in Baltimore. Saturday is a good night to grind. It’s a good thing I don’t have work on Sunday, because my neck is gonna be fucked up!
I love that Pig Destroyer have nothing to do with the guy in front of me at FYE today who asked the cashier if they had any used Brokencyde albums in stock. Wow.
FUCK THAT GUY !
u should have big destroyed his ass immediatly !
After reading this list, I want to have a conversation using only “Pig Destroyer,” like in Being John Malcovich.
31. FUCK YOU.
I wholeheartedly agree
:[
rule 31 makes me sad.
Pig Destroyer is still amazing though.
lol at 31 :z
Two more reasons from me: the song ‘Towering Flesh’, which is an absolute cracker; and Phantom Limb – right after I first heard it, I decided to really invest in grindcore – another annexe for my music collection. PL is still in regular rotation on my iPod/turntable two years after I first got it. Truly wonderful fucking album.
“That someone in the band is obsessed with Domo, the weird Asian children’s doll that looks like a turd”
Where did that picture come from?
One more reason I’ve just thought of: they polarize the grind community like no other band. Loads of people love PD, loads of people call PD “grindcore for scenesters”, loads of people call PD “false commercial grind”, etc. etc.
Prowler fucking owns.
best thing i have ever read here. period.
I have seen them live and with that I do say Fucking Goddamn Pig Fucking Destroyer. Someone should carve them into a mountainside.
I was friends with Brian Harvey in Middle School. He was such a spaz…always banging on his desk and doing faux drums. It’s no wonder he’s shredding in this band now!
you forgot about the time the singer broke his mic on stage, and you could still hear him
I watched that on youtube last night, bricks were shat
Nothing about the super creepy ending of Phantom Limb, I believe that is what being left for dead sounds like.
Ha yeah, you know sometimes i listen to that song just to hear the dopey country song at the end, its catchy lol.
I really like these guys (and I am not a grind fan at all), but I sort of always forget about them. And then I read something like this and it’s like, “Oh yeah, Pig Destroyer! They fuckin rule!” And then I’ll listen to them for like, a week straight. …And then I sorta forget about ‘em again.
Awesome story
I can’t think of one thing I like about the band or their music. All it is extreme gay beardo poser metal.
“Extreme gay beardo poser metal”?
Wow. How original.
Let’s break this down and give your insult a score.
Extreme – OK, I’ll give you that. Pig Destroyer is the definition of extreme. So 1 point there.
Gay – Pretty sure none of them are homosexual. Sorry, you just lost a point. Back to zero.
Beardo – Anytime I’ve ever seen them, only Scott Hull has a beard. One more point lost, so we’re at -1.
Poser – Posers wouldn’t write “Natasha”. Ouch, buddy, you’re at -2. Need to make up some points.
Metal – Good job there, pal. Pig Destroyer is indeed metal. They’re so metal that I’m giving you 2 points.
Final insult score: ZERO. Therefore, your insult isn’t an insult at all – it’s nothing.
All other MS readers, please feel free to play along and add your own scores.
Friday is going to totally fucking slay. I can’t wait. Both time I’ve seen them before—once at North 6 and once at Club Europa—were amazing. I have high hopes.
Pig Destroyer sucks massive cock.
that cannot be your real name. homo
These lists suck, can you guys do something original?
Don’t pay no attention to lists
Try this band http://www.promofm.com/MALICIOUS_DISORDER

26 year old thrash guitar player looking for touring band to join, playing guitar since age 8 ,razor blade sharp
You’ll also find some unreleased , brand fucking new Iggy Pop from Mars.
BREAKING NEWS! The word “grind” is going to legally be changed to VAGINA! How can you people like this garbage? It isn’t even music. Calling this metal…? Total fuckin’ abomination. Know that the metal gods are frowning upon you.
What metal gods?
Manowar?
Have you SEEN what those cats get up to in their spare time?
…
Pig Destroyer owns. Was lucky enough to see them live when they played the Transmission Room in Auckland. My wife loved it, I loved it, fucking killer.
Manowar being metal gods? Giggle! You obviously don’t know anything about metal. I’m sure you and your fat wife had a kickin’ rad time at the Vagina Core show. Give her my best. -wink-
Manowar are the Kings Of Metal. Other Bands Play, Manowar Kills! Furry loincloths FTW!!!
I love bass asswipe!
my girlfriend loves domo!
You only need one reason to love Pig Destroyer. It’s called “Fingers In The Throat” from the epic album “38 Counts of Battery”. I had that song on so many mixtape CDs during my college days that my roomies started calling it my theme song.
