THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN Guitarist Clarifies Drummer Situation
- Sep. 1, 2008

THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN guitarist Ben Weinman has denied online rumors that drummer Gil Sharone has quit the band.
"He didn't leave and we didn't kick him out," Weinman tells Kerrang! magazine. "He will be busy, though, working with his other band (STOLEN BABIES) a lot over the next year, so I am talking to other dudes both for DILLINGER possibilities and just for me to play with on other creative projects. We still may be touring and writing with Gil, though. Kinda in the air. No big drama though or anything."
Although nothing has been confirmed, drummer Marco Minneman (NECROPHAGIST, EPHEL DUATH) has reportedly indicated that he plans to work with THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN during the coming months. Raanen Bozzio, son of drumming legend Terry Bozzio, is also said to be a candidate for the job.
Fresh off the 2008 Warped Tour and a cross-country tour with CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN is currently home in the early stages of writing for its follow-up album to "Ire Works".

Terry Bozzio is a fucking insane drummer. Check his shit out on The Black Page #1 by Frank Zappa. Here is a recent cut of him with the Dweezil fronted Zappa plays Zappa, so he's still got it.(incidentally the Zappa plays Zappa show is one of the best shows I've ever seen)

If his kid is a chip off the old block this could provide for some exciting stuff. Dillinger is great. Just ordered the 82588 shirt a while back. It's an homage to Justice.

Too bad he ain't even a micro-chip off the old block. Dweezil pretty much sucks.

first of all, he was referring to bozzio's kid.
second of all, dweezil rules, nails all of the zappa solos perfectly and his ZPZ arrangements are great, though his solo stuff was real boring

On all counts. Dweezil basic re-learned guitar in order to be able pull this off. Have you ever seen ZPZ? No, he ain't his Dad, but this band comes close and runs circles around most all of their contemporaries.

to read some Zappa comments here. Awesomeness. :-)
Marco Minneman is an incredible drummer too, and I would love to hear him with DEP.

His drum solo on last year's Summer Slaughter was worth the ticket price alone. Whichever way it goes I'm sure they'll pick somebody good.
