THE 51ST REASON I LOVE PIG DESTROYER
Tuesday, July 28th, 2009 at 3:30pm by Axl RosenbergThanks to all the commenters who pointed out that I left a ridiculously awesome to worship at the alter of Pig Destroyer off of my list yesterday: this below video.
In case you’ve never seen it, the short version is that vocalist J.R. Hayes’ mic died in the middle of a performance at CBGB, so the dude just keeps yelling… and is so loud he can still be heard over the music. That seriously might be the single most metal thing that has ever happened in the history of time and space.
Holy shit, do I fucking love this band.
-AR
yeah, that’s pretty fuckin badass
Fuck Yea! I have watched this video in amazement so many times
definition of brutal
O_o
Completely irrelevant, but check out the ad to the side that popped up with the pig destroyer article.
Almost as good as the ICP and Hollywood Undead ads that kept popping up during the ‘Most Importantest 21 albums list thangy’

BACON!
badass
Haha, holy shit. Awesome.
I coughed up blood just listening to that.
heheh!
Is it any coincidence that the name of the song is “Forgotten Child” and you forgot to put it on the list?
Damn that’s awesome, I’m checking this band out for sure.
AXL 7/31, FIGHT ME!
The most metal moment I’ve seen all month
I haven’t heard much from Pig Destroyer, but watching that insanity makes me want to check them out. And I shall indeed do just that.
get that man a fucking beer
and some throat surgery
and look how much the fans are into it. i think i saw one of them scratch his nose in appreciation.
I have cum in my pants.
That’s how I yell at my wife when I want something done.
Okay, that was fuckin’ insane.
Can you imagine having the guy giving a Powerpoint presentation to a full college auditorium with that voice???!?!?
They’re just ripping-off Minor Threat.
for those of you saying you will check them out after seeing this, go to their myspace and listen to their entire prowler in the yard album all the way through
Fuck yeah!
That is a grind CLASSICK!
I find it funny, Pig Destroyer are written about very often in magazines, websites, and reviews, yet people are always saying they have never even heard of them. I say all three of their records are needed in any metal heads collection and I really wish I wasnt working Friday night.
Jesus god, j.r….it was awesome, but was it worth it? That was the lamest audience I’ve ever seen. You could have at least thrown the mic at one of them. Brooklyn Masonic Temple 7/31!!!!
this gets bonus points for the tool shirt. also, that is some straight up dedication to ones performance. my hat goes off to that guy.
These fuckers killed it at Scion. That is all
Music for beardos. PD is one seriously overrated band.
That was fucking sweet, although I did wonder if from his demeanor, whether or not he didnt need to take a shit from shouting so hard, and was holding it in. Watch it again. See?
Seen this classic many times, fuck yeah!
Pig Destroyer owns your fucking soul.
Brooklyn Masonic Temple… any and all metal fans should be there. PIG DESTROYER, REPULSION, AND BRUTAL TRUTH!!!!!
Real men don’t need mics..
LOL!
I thought it was cool of the audience to be quiet until the song was done. He was clearly not using a mic…if the audience was cheering it might have nullified the awesomeness of his voice.
They did go balls out when the song was done, so clearly they appreciated it.
FUCK every single person in that crowd. WTF.
holy fuck…
too bad he has absolutely no stage presence to accompany the badassness of his voice.
