Loading ...This video of Dillinger Escape Plan covering Van Halen’s “Hot For Teacher” is from last year’s Warped Tour, and its attendant comment section is littered with a bunch of Internet pedants bitching about the minor flubs of the lyrics, but oh man did stumbling across this YouTube clip make my day. Of course, no one with a knowledge of the DEP’s ability to shred should be surprised by the note-perfect replicas of Eddie Van Halen, but you have to give whoever’s on backing vocals extra credit for performing his Michael Anthony duties more than ably.

“Nine Inch Nails just invited Dillinger Escape Plan onstage to play ‘Wish,’” my former partner in powerblogging Christopher R. Weingarten texted me from Trent Reznor’s maybe-quitting-the-Internet-because-of-you farewell show at Bonnaroo late Saturday night. “Check YouTube every 30 seconds!” Alas, searches for said performance on the video-sharing have turned up dry for me so far–but all is not lost, since they engaged in this little bit of collaboration in March 2008, too.

One of the best metal bands going, Dillinger Escape Plan, tried their hands at one of the best metal songs in history, Living Colour’s “Cult Of Personality,” last Saturday show in New York. And the results were, shall we say, less than power in your God’s name. But, if you click in to watch it, I promise at least one kinda-related video that’s worth your time.
Disturbed Vs. Dillinger Escape Plan: The Crankiness Continues
10:00 AM on Wed Jun 4 2008 by anthonyjmiccio
It all started when Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman mocked Disturbed’s sound check, claiming the body-modification champions were “practicing where they were going to walk and when they were going to put their leg up on the monitor and pose.” Disturbed has since responded, saying a) all they do is make sure the guitarist is under the spotlight for his big solo and b) how the hell did some dillweed punk guitarist get into the room during their sound check anyway? Sez the happy dude pictured to the left: “It’s called production — it’s what any big professional band that isn’t just punk rock… Not to say that there is anything wrong with punk rock, because I have my roots in it, but you can’t compare the two styles of a show.” But Weinman isn’t buying it.
Disturbed Strike A Pose, Horrify Dillinger Escape Plan Guitarist
2:00 AM on Wed May 7 2008 by anthonyjmiccio
Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weiman recently described watching body-piercing enthusiasts Disturbed practice their turn-turn-kick-turns before a show in England. “[They were] practicing where they were going to walk and when they were going to put their leg up on the monitor and pose. That was weird for us. There are times where I don’t even know where I am.” Hey dude, maybe if you worked on your on-stage theatrics you’d be as big as they are! Don’t hate just cuz you’re not down with the sickness! Oooh-wah-ah-ah-ah!
