Denis "Piggy" D'Amour (September 24, 1959 – August 26, 2005) was the guitarist for the Canadian heavy metal band Voivod from its inception in 1982 until his death from colon cancer in 2005, aged 45. His approach to music was anarchic and experimental rather than strict and theoretical. He was trained in classical violin as a child. He was influenced by progressive rock artists such as King Crimson, Pink Floyd and Rush. == Death == In the summer of 2005, D'Amour was diagnosed with colon cancer. Subsequently, a routine operation was scheduled though several complications led doctors to suspect further problems. The cancer had extensively progressed, rendering any operation non-viable. D'Amour slipped into a coma in the palliative care unit of a Montreal hospital on August 25, 2005, surrounded in his final hours by family and friends. The guitarist died the next day at approximately 11:45pm. The documentary ''Metal: A Headbanger's Journey'', featuring an interview with D'Amour, was released on September 7. Piggy's final recordings appear on two of Voivod's albums ''Katorz'' and ''Infini'', released in 2006 and 2009 respectively. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Denis D'Amour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
