The shout out is notable for mentioning former vocalist Greg Puciato, who has since moved on along with his new band Higher Lovers.
“My woman put some enjoyable footage collectively from our weekend, and all i can say is Wow! There are not any phrases that may categorical how grateful I’m for the chance to play these particular throwback exhibits with a few of my former Dillinger Escape Plan alumni besties, and nonetheless have the chance to get #cyco with Suicidal Tendencies.
“I actually need to thank Dimitri Minakakis, Liam Wilson, Billy Rymer, James Love, for having me. I’m additionally tremendous grateful for Greg Puciato and the opposite Dillinger relations for his or her dedication in serving to construct this band into what it’s for thus a few years following #calculatinginfinity. If it weren’t for him and the opposite individuals within the DEP fam, I’d have by no means been in a position to see my good friend Dimitri play in entrance of this many individuals. It’s tremendous cool to expertise in any case these years.
“Because of my heros Mike Muir and Jello Biafra for becoming a member of us on stage. Undoubtedly a pinch myself second.
“Particular thanks to our crew, who we share with ST, for being critical warriors. We have been caught in fest visitors and actually jumped on stage, and I can’t consider how these unhealthy asses made it occur below the circumstances. Thanks @deathtotravis @melisssawalton @chris.waiau @coreykoniz and extra thank yous within the feedback under.”
Puciato not too long ago voiced his opinion on the present exhibits through an interview with Steel Hammer, saying he is not towards them occurring with out him.
“It would not trouble me in any respect. When individuals ask me that, as if I am gonna be bummed, I am, like, why would I be bummed? I am not on the report. To me, if the band was nonetheless a band, and a few of these guys, clearly [original members Brian] Benoit [rhythm guitar], [Chris] Pennie [drums] and Adam [Doll, bass] aren’t [part of the reunion shows], but when, if Dimitri and Ben have been, like, ‘Hey, we wanna do some ‘Calculating Infinity‘ exhibits, what am I gonna do? Be, like, ‘No!’ That does not make any sense. I wasn’t on the report.”
“So, I hope they’re wildly profitable with it, and I hope that it does loads of good for them — I hope it makes them really feel good personally, these two. ‘Trigger, clearly, Liam and Billy weren’t on that report, however the ending of them earlier than I joined, I do not assume it was — it wasn’t fulfilling. It wasn’t a satisfying closure. It wasn’t precisely on everyone’s phrases concerned. So I believe them with the ability to return and do that and have a good time what’s non-arguably a fucking genre-changing milestone report that many bands wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for. They need to play all over the place. They need to come to London, they need to go play festivals, they need to do all the pieces. Like I mentioned, I am all for it, man.”
