He is one of the most influential and creative songwriters/guitar players out there. Definitely deserves more recognition. Some of Dillinger's stuff is just absolutely breathtaking.
Gonkosan Roberto I'll 3rd that, his guitar playing style is bananas...
Mostly because if you're at a DEP show you can't breathe because your getting pummeled by everyone around.... band included.
@Jimmy The Abyss Walker An acquired taste, not for everyone
No, he’s not. Good guitarist, intriguing and unique songwriter.
I remember being a total new metal fanboy and I went to see system of a down at Manchester and Dillinger where supporting , they literally tore my face off I had never experienced such energy in a band or music which I couldn't understand and it changed my life forever , I remember asking one of the band at the side of the stage for an autograph and he was shocked I had asked lol.
They literally tore you face off!?
+EDDIE yeah that's my real portrait, there music literally removed my skin , 80s metal melts your face , Dillinger removes it with force lol .
William Stanway That's so cool!
Have you since then been able to “fix your face”?
This comment section is a meme
I had seen a lot of interviews with Ben Weinman and in all interviews he had that facial expression of a shy kid with a lot of insecurities, very tense pose while talkin' with the interviewer, but during live shows? shit, the stage is his, all the fuckin' audience is from him to him, he's in his Dillinger softly insane world, and I apreciate that very much.
And that left eyebrow always high.. wtf.
They look like brothers, lol.
he looks like hes interviewing himself
Graham, you are my favorite interviewer ever
:D
Yea he is a great interviewer and he wears the best band shirts
I first met Ben after "Under the Running Board", but before "Calculating Infinity", and several times since. Always a great guy, so personable. One of the greats.
In order to make such complex music you have to be in it for the music, not fame or money. Because there is no way you could ever break into the mainstream.
its about time these guys became big. I first heard them on smackdown vs raw 2006.
what?! god damn it. really they get noticed at the end of the journey. that's like chasing a girl from freshmen year to senior graduation then she tells you she likes you.
They've been big for a long fucking time.
>"it's about time"
>"smackdown vs raw 2006"
make up your fucking mind
I waited literally for years for WFoF with him and this was absolutely worth the wait. Thank you so much, Loudwire and Graham for doing such an amazing job. The level of production and professionalism is increasing with every episode. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
Get Kurt Ballou on one of these
YES!!!
For some fucked up reason I've read Kurt Cobain and I was like: Wtf? How are they supposed to do that?
Fuck yeah
Fuck yes
fuck yea i’d love that
I'd love to be the interviewer on here, he meets so many awesome bands
On the subject of Dillinger not being commercial: they played “Black Bubblegum” (one of their most accessible by the mainstream, “poppy” songs) on Conan, ostensibly to promote Ire Works. I like to imagine the normie who bought the album based on what they thought of “Black Bubblegum” and what they must have thought of the rest of the album.
Ire Works was so fucking amazing, that was my intro around 2009.
the "normie". pretentious prick
one of the greatest bands ever. sad to see them ending dillinger but at least we got a lot of great music
do Mike Patton!
Hell yeah mr bungle
Get mike patton dammit
The Dillinger Escape PlanThe best band name ever
oh, what i would do to hear those Dillinger vocal submissions...
dan _ I’ve got them!!
@@itsMrNoble what do you mean you got them?

Do Deftones

God no
Your mother did the Deftones.

The person he is talking about at 6:56 is jeff wood, who also was the singer for a band called SHAT. Seriously one of the best/weirdest bands ever. Ben would occasionally play drums for SHAT live as well. watch?v=EPoZBy95onY
Get brent hinds on this show!
Been waiting a long time for this. Yes.
How could he hate Calculating Infinity? Best thing they ever did, maybe tied with Irony is a dead scene.
Under The Running Board was excellent, too.
Well I have the same thing when I compose something and it's not as perfect and syncopated as I want it to be, an artist is never satisfied, and I totally get it why they themselves didn't like it, that's because it was completely new to them as well
I have to agree calculating infinity was their best record. Under the running board the second best. Got to see these guys when they first started touring in a tiny club and it was incredible. The weird thing was the band paw (who I really like also,but completely different ) opened for them. Then saw them open for vision of disorder at the grog shop in Cleveland.
Not at all.
I saw him post on Facebook that calculating is their masterpiece (and that he did it sober and couldn't have done it inebriated). He DEFINITELY doesn't hate it. He's just the "tormented artist".
Calculating infinity changed my life
I'm trying to remember if 2005 was when I saw them play with Coheed and Cambria, because I remember it being a big deal that Ben wasn't there because he never took time off. And then after that tour, Dillinger's drummer left to join Coheed.
Wow.. So Ben's relationship with Greg involves a lot of tugging and pulling :-D
Discovered them with 43% burnt and was addicted. Now I'm just a random "fan" of their stuff including their side project. Simple dudes with skills and humour
I loved this band early on. I was listening to them in early 2000s all the way in MN. So they were clearly doing something right.
i need a 10 hour loop of ben air-drumming
6:42 -- Pretty sure he's talking about Jeff Wood, aka SHAT. Check him out. Absolutely wild, profoundly vulgar performer.
Finally! One of the only few metal bands I really love (other being Meshuggah), but at some point every band has to call it quits. I hope their next album will be a blast so they'll go out with even a bigger bang. Dillinger, you will be remembered
That’s WILD that Ben and the band didn’t like how Calculating Infinity came out at first. But it makes sense from the perspective that it was really uncharted territory for music, so it was probably hard to grasp what they did
We send in a gnarly entry!
it's ok to eat fish cuz they don't have any feelings.
Great 🤘 I can "eat" my boss then😎
Something in the way......
Please try and get Steph Carpenter from Deftones on this show!!
or Chino
Can you do a suggestions box or something on the website for who we want to see next?
I really want to hear the audition tapes now :D
Seems like a really cool dude.
Favorite bandddddd
I got too meet him at a Suicidal tendencies show he was blended in the crowd also a very humble and approachable person. I didn't even know he was in Suicidal tendencies at the time 😅.
just a rad dude!
Didnt know Adam Sandler was in Dillinger
Love Ben, probably my favourite guitar player ever.
How do you put on shows like that touring for 5 years straight? It's remarkable they're not ALL paralyzed.
The thumbnail to this vid makes him look like Nikola Tesla.
Cliff Trainor listen to calculating infinity and under the running and you'll hear Tesla's influence there.
An Alexi Laiho or At the Gates fact or fiction would be fucking awesome.
Saw them for the first time randomly with Dimitri on vocals with Snapcase in 01
How bout fact or fiction with Matt Tuck from bullet for my valentine, Tom Delonge from Blink 182, and James Hetfield from Metallica.
You get Ben from Dillinger and then ask for Matt Tuck and Tom Delonge? Fk sake 😂
I’d forgotten all about Giraffe Tongue Orchestra.
Hearing that the other guys in mr bungle didn’t like calculating infinity is surprising
Hey Graham you should do Keith Morris
High on Fire! 🤘
Who woulda thought he was working a regular corporate job one day, and then a few yrs later would be hanging upside down by his legs from the ceilings rafters at the Beaumont club in Kc mo. I remember him doing that…wonder if he does?…he’s straight edge so probably so lol. That explains why the other guys from DEP that I met after the show were all asking me…”how do you get to Westport” 😂 (bars) Epic show!
The Adam Sandler of metal.
Got into DEP way too late. I saw them with Red Fang supporting Mastadon in Bristol a few years ago and to this day I kick myself for not listening to them before hand. The crowd was on a mad one and my friends and I were just stoned as fuck in the back waiting for the headliners like idiots.
Do a Maynard James Keenan fact or fiction plz
He wouldn't do it, he hates interviews.
so what happened with Murphy's law and dillenger escape plan
Do Jeff Waters from Annihilator Please
Yes that would be awesome
+ Metal Marauder No, I'm 16 and I forgot that I had the caps lock on.
Could I just ask why you would expect a bassist suffering from brain damage due to being shot in the head to play bass FOR The Dillinger Escape Plan. Even normal functioning human beings wouldn't remember every beat of a TDEP song - let alone someone brain damaged!
Jeff was fucking awesome live. Him and Ben were powerhouses as the live component.
Still waiting for Tosin Abasi!
Norma Jean interview!
Yaaaaaayyyy!!!
Wikipedia fact or fiction with Rush
And Iron Maiden
...and...Peter Steele.
...and...Wayne Static.
Sad.
Sad.
You guys f****** rock!!!.
how the hell has ben met lauryn hill? crazy yo
way to follow up on the L. Hill goss...come on my man!
1 minute in and I love Infected Mushroom more.
7:17 yes
interview m.shadows and some Sabbath members
Putting M. Shadows next to Sabbath is like putting Hitler next to Gandhi.
+Stratosfear the God neither of them liked black people
Metal Marauder True.
7:19 did ben just make fun of a guy who, used to be their bassist, and then got shot in the head???
BillyxRansom You have to understand who the guy is: Jeff Wood. He's got his own band called Shat. He's f'ing nuuuuuuuuts. I saw them with Jeff and he was his own crazy for DEP. Jeff is alive and kickin and has a twisted sense of humor.
Dude looks like an Adam Sandler deep-fake
He's 41?!
Will you ever do an interview with Amon Amarth

Well shit...
Ben is starting to look like the archetypal old jewish man.
I knew it was only a matter of time before someone out there would take an antisemitic dig. Given that you're the first in these comments, It's hard to know if you should be congratulated or simply whipped in public. I'm voting for the latter.
Pls loudwire,wikipedia fact or fiction whit anybody from static-x band,pls.
Get biff Byford from saxon!!! That would be epic. Or Sam Carter from architects...
Watched a dude do at one of their shows in Pittsburgh. Show was sick tho. Fire blowing, all kinds of shit.
why did the original singer leave???
Heath Sousa Jr. He want to focus in finish their studies of graphic design
Heath Sousa Jr. kicked out
I'm pretty sure he left amicably.
I. Fucking. Miss. Him.
@@aplus1080 he did some artworks for the band after leaving the band. And he did some gigs with them before they ended. They are real and good friends
whew got here under 200 views.
Gruhammad looks like a hipster, when don t he have long hair no more, his hair looks great.
do chelsea grin
Top 10 metal singers with no tattoos

There aren't any.
You are sure you guys aren't brothers?
Mother: "we have got Marshall's at home..."
Home:......
Whoever thought it would be cool to put a cheap Marshall in the background like its "rock n roll" or some shit? big L, hold that L. Anyone who has ever owned a guitar and actually learned at least 3 chords (so a huge portion of rock and metal fans), knows its a cheap practice/my first Jam space amp. Literally no good albums have ever been tracked with that amp (possible random band in some obscure part of the world with low living wage and little to no music gear distribution, but other than that). It's not a Plexi, an 800 or even 900 that most people hate, or a modern day cheap made DSL or Origin, it's not even a Valvestate ( the old budget Marshall range that has more recently become somewhat sought after), its an MG ....which means it dd not cost more than £/$200 and probably less than 150, and as far as budget amps good , is not even considered that good
Dude its not that serious.
Jesus Christ man, no one fucking cares.
Ozzy? No?

LOVE The Fugees & Wyclef's album The Carnival. Too bad he stole all that charity $ from Haiti during their crisis. Shame.
