With a name like Cattle Decapitation, you’d think impaling pig heads on stage was more their type of publicity stunt.
But the band is actually outspoken about mistreatment of animals and the environment, and were quite shocked (and not for good reasons) when the band Burning of Rome used impaled pig heads as their stage prop at the 2009 San Diego Music Awards.
Travis Ryan, lead singer with Cattle Decapitation had this to say:
“It’s kind of cheesy. So many bands have done that. It didn’t seem to mesh with what they were doing onstage. After their set, they pulled the heads off of the mike stands and showed them to everybody in the crowd as if to say, ‘Hey, look at me.’ ”
“Pigs are smarter than dogs. I find it deplorable to do anything to support the meat industry. This was so silly. [Pig heads onstage] has been done before.”
No kidding, Travis. Ozzy Osbourne nightmares flashbacks anyone?
