What bands influence for the formation of Pesticides? In what year this happened and how was it?
I think when we heard very DRI, GBH, Suicidal Tendencies, Varukers, Discharge, The Exploited, etc ... I do not know if that influenced the formation of the band, but perhaps reflected something
the compositions. Mauro was 1992/93...o already had a project with the name and drummer and I topei and formed the band.
By training the band which has passed, what has changed from one to another?
Various formations, many exchanges of drummers, etc ... but the most striking were the changes in voice (for Mauro Renato, Renato for Mark and Jéferson) Arthur and the entry of the second guitar. I think best for each change of formation, but try to keep the same face.
Tours of Europe, which was the best? How is the receptivity Gringa with Brazilian bands and especially with the Pesticides there?

Brazil has 3% of world population and 14% of homicides in the world. Data that are alarming for our country. What we can do for a better world and
without these atrocities, we members of a society that subjulga people?
I think that investing and encourage education. An educated people seeking means of survival away from violence and crime, of course, lack employment, health and everything, but any relevant change in education must move first.

really important is that from the government and we have a duty to charge that the "FDP" that dominate this country.
