If not, one centimeter below the pig.

About the bands tribute, he had not spoken since that Iron Maidens was presented at the Hard Rock Live in this City of Mexico. It was in September 2006. In fact I started this article with the phrase: "I'm not really a big fan of taxes ...".I went to that concert because Aja Kim and Linda McDonald, whom I contacted, they sent some flyers along with my admission ticket.Wow! It was a tremendous touched it offered. And since then I have seen many tributes groups of large rock bands, good music.I've gone a few bars / clubs with tribute bands and there, both wicked bands as bands of very good level, of the highest level: Swine is one of them.In Las Vegas, as celenita talk my brother, Juan Manuel "choks" Marruenda, who lives and works there in the last decade, who crowd the bars, clubs and theaters are the Tribute Bands and just want to internationalize. Maiden tribute bands, Journey, Def Leppard, Zeppelin, Scorpions, Metallica, etc..As this wave of Tribute Bands also exists here in Mexico City. Obviously, there as here also there are tribute bands and were just about to the original and rather are to form part of the "rock chaos" of which I have spoken on other occasions.Pigs have more than twelve months for the "pigsty". This trio of "Good Gracious" came out of the pen to delight us with the best covers of the world metal band Black Sabbath, and the best vocalist ever in the genre, Ronnie James Dio (short pitch).In view known guitarist, Edu Well, a few dollars near our colony and other gigs, and finally reached my ears comments on "Pigs", and very good, so I put as the next stop: The Pigs.For circumstances preset agenda or schedules, I could not attend the following gigs, but it was not until the month of August 2010, when I could gather from other events, the great show that fanned the Red Pool along with 2 other bands, also tribute.So, ready! We went to the bar at the time. Pigs were presented, Mönster Crüe, and Dynasty; Sabbath tribute bands, Mötley Crüe and Kiss respectively.At the bar we attended far too many people that the place was packed with fans of the band, had invited friends and countless musicians.It was an extraordinary night, and when they opened the scenarios Pigs, all come together to the front, about to open the "slam" for obvious reasons and space is almost impossible ... let alone put together a "wall of death ".Pigs, immediately caught my attention, the songs, the music, the vocalist ... was a trip to remember Sabbath concerts in 92, with Ronnie on vocals.There, subjectively heard and enjoyed because of the first to the last decibels, had my attention, at the same time lived with my "metal headbangers brothers" who accompanied me."That bandota" - was my first expression when leaving. I must see them again to write about them.He knew perfectly well that if I did at that time, subjectivity and beat me then my words would be undermined by feelings.Wanted and listen again, but it was his performances at the rockstore of Tlalnepantla Toluca Kiss Lounge and the Black Dog in Queretaro and had to come on Saturday, April 2 to launch me, along with my son Rick, the Blue Factor located at the entrance fromtheAjusco in DFThe event was marked at ten in the evening, but was only eleven when I began to despair because I knew it would open an Iron Maiden tribute band, and as regularly happens, chaos bands playing are just that: Rock Animal House. So after a few beers, just looked at the clock, which progressed slowly.Fortunately struck up conversations with bassist Pigs, Fer, and Jorge "Pipo" drummer. Time was lapsing.It was just a quorum at the club, and I wanted to start the opener band, they played five minutes, they left and arrived Pigs.At 11:35 o'clock the Maiden took the stage Slaves, and the surprise was huge. In this blog, I write about it because "deserve" their own section.Finally, after the first hour of Sunday April 3, climbed those 3 pigs musicians on stage, taking his musical instrument and evoking gave a long introduction to Neon Knights.Puta Madre! Thereafter, all the way up to "Crazy Train" Ozzy teacher, went through "Die Young", which for me was one of the best performances that night, along with Holy Diver, the now immortal Ronnie James Dio, also appeared "Paranoid", "Heaven and Hell" and "Children of the Grave" among others.But let me tell you, my dear two readers, to see Edu after the 8 string in black and beloved lyre; see Fer on bass and enjoying touching as that instrument was a nymphomaniac dissatisfied and behind them, on percussion, the master of batacas, Jorge "Pipo" Cortés, who as we have always talked, this instrument is to be played with heart and soul, otherwise there would be quality music.I was facing the stage, enjoying every note, decibel, letter, movements, steps and pratfalls of this great trio.They are and will grounders, those of Iommi, Butler, Ward, Osbourne and Dio among others, the best of all time. Black Sabbath is the source of pure metal, unique.And these same, performed by The Pigs, and have made them part of a permanent legacy that will endure for ever and ever.Talking Tribute Band, I'll focus on two aspects only, which are devoted to the covers and imitate to almost 100%. Of these there are many and few are really good, to show there are many buttons.Tribute to Led Zeppelin by Great White is unquestionable one of the best tributes to the band. Full Disc this tribute was a near faithful the original Zeppelin.The other tribute bands are those doing the covers of the band, PUTTING original touch, bringing their ideals and highly customized formats to the original band. And this is the case of "The Hogs" who (and I repeat: it is a very personal point of view) have made the songs from Sabbath, Dio and Ozzy rolas a very, very similar, with very vocal in TOUCH unique, as the voice of "Pipo" is among the witticisms of Ozzy and serious Wonderland "Dio". The vowels of "Swine" can already tell that are unique, are part of the essence of Pigs and are your ID in order to distinguish them immediately.The 8 strings Edu, returning to the essence of Iommi, are of excellent performance, also is not easy to take and accept the commitment to implement "is style" lefty leader Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. My dear Edu, have a commitment to follow and always keep it up, because you do not do that, not anyone, much less interpret it with such passion, pleasure and happiness on stage.Interpret Iommi, is a challenge. Witnessing that challenge has not been satisfactory mother, and my son and I have witnessed.Moreover, taking the role of "Geezer" Butler on bass, in my personal opinion, Fer has almost perfected. He has much more power, energy and much twist with your right thumb on the 4 strings, in addition to touch them with pleasure, the insults and hits ... and they respond favorably.To sample, because all the previous repertoire. With "Heaven and Hell" have sealed this tribute to the best band in the metal, and see, that I will be contradicted. But Black Sabbath is simply Black Sabbath.He happened to immortality with striking legacy. He is already part of the musical heritage, so much so that the future will be adored by Church of Heavy Metal in the UK, and many faithful followers and apostles of this "religion", "spirituality" and "lifestyle" we will continue noting.Because "The Pigs" so inclined, follow immortality noting the legacy of Sabbath, Dio and Ozzy, is all music that gives us touched upon touched."Nativity in Black" in his two volumes, are a proof of the second type of tribute bands, where each group has its "essence" each Sabbath groundout.Perhaps, "The Pigs" will appear in a Nativity in Black 3?And if not, then hopefully these pigs metalheads take out some audio compilation of this tribute.In fact, I got a CD with the videos of some of their presentations. I insist: if you have not seen Live Pigs ... well, CARAJOS WHAT EXPECTED TO GO?!My dear brothers, Edu, Fer and Pipo: I like to mothers who deserve the full attention of both Sabbath fan exists on the planet. And for this we have to keep doing what they love: pure metal downright Sabbath & Dio.Keep spreading the cysticercus and taking the pigsty to the bars / clubs further afield you can, take the gospel of Iommi & Dio to those remote places where there are people who need to be saved from such "shit" musical. Sean and now live as He commands. Always touch whatever they want and never touch for others, but yes: ALWAYS share what they touch, because well, I feel I have.I send a very strong hug and best wishes to you music. Keep paddling in each pen and do not forget visiting greet in one of those.Another hug to Rick, my son and metal padawan, who recently accompanied me in these matters of the bands.Well, dear readers, continue to enjoy good music and that He bless you for ever and ever ...
