Greg Puciato Speaks, And In Volumes

Greg Puciato, vocalist for The Dillinger Escape Plan, recently did an interview with Paul Tao of HateSomethingBeautiful.com. He seems to cover pretty much everything: how he joined the band, guitarist Ben Weinman’s shoulder surgery, why they refuse to play Ozzfest, how they hate being pigeonholed into genres, how much he can’t stand Avenged Sevenfold and Atreyu, plans for their next album and plenty more.

It’s exciting and insightful to hear interviews from the more talkative artists on the circuit. Puciato speaks what’s on his mind, and quite loudly at times (which I say as something of a warning to the more sensitive of what few readers I may have).

“Bottom line, Dillinger Escape Plan will always be like Calculating Infinity, crazy-ish kind of material, that’s what we do best, but I don’t feel like we need to only do that. If we want to write a country song or an electronic song, we could. It’d be nice so that when I’m forty, I don’t have to scream all the time, you know, break bottles on people’s faces.”
