LARS BLOWS UP THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN AT THE R&R HALL OF FAME PRESS CONFERENCE

[@zealot566]

I like how they all nod their heads as if they knew who they were.

[@verifyinfieldpodcast]

if they are music journalists, surely they should know TDEP, shouldn't they, or do you think they are that dim?

[@sanjay2489]

Every Dillinger album with Greg has at least one 'pop' song on it and, frankly, it's fucking great! These guys are ridiculously talented, like, more talented than any human could ever possibly need to be and by occasionally crafting these more musically standard songs (milk lizard, unretrofied, black bubblegum etc.) they're just further proving it! Creating their insane, unhinged-yet-fucking-tight music is one thing but having the talent to make catchy, hooky 'pop' songs too?! Genius! xx

[@DJENTISNTNOTAGENRE]

One of my favorite examples is Black Bubblegum. You hear a song like that and then realize this is the same band who wrote 43% Burnt. It's shame they're no longer together, but I think they made the right move ending it with a damn near flawless discography to carry on their legacy.

[@killerke2]

it would be great to see Metallica open for Dillinger

[@allistergraham6704]

Lyrics in description, love it 👌

[@PutriOddity]

"Inspiration from Metallica," everything except the drumming Lars

[@coreywho2972]

Hahaha 👍 👍 👍 to be fair though Ben and Greg have said they loved Metallica growing up.

[@verifyinfieldpodcast]

Billy is definitely in a league of his own as a drummer.

[@yarnboy]

Actually, if you listen to alot of the vocal phrasing on Master/Justice you can hear the root of that influence.. Chris also basically decided to play drums from the latter of those two.

[@millenwagon]

thats something i never expected to hear lars say, thats awesome that he thinks theyre ''awesome''

[@bustercampfiresongs]

Lars is a cool guy, everyone who hates him (because it's cool to) is just being a tool.

[@somekindofbattery]

I listen to both.

[@GlueyPorch]

the more melodic DEP songs are extremely influenced by mike patton and faith no more

[@DOPOW9419]

Your description is what made me watch the video haha

[@davethehostage]

@PhillyKidWhatUDo Well if that's the case, pretty much every band can be labeled as being "scene", since every genre can be described as being part of "the scene". The southern California punk scene, the British new wave scene, the Seattle grunge scene, etc. Doesn't mean these bands will ever be classified as being "scene bands". Especially when the definition of scene today is the aforementioned skinny-jeans, dyed black/straightened hair and autotuned vox.

[@davethehostage]

Reading the comments...did I actually just read someone describe Dillinger fans as "scene kids"? I have never in my life, whilst going to schools practically overrun by scene kids, met a scene Dilinger fan. Scene kids aren't comfortable with anything lacking in breakdowns and autotuned vocals.

[@yrureadingthisname]

What's funny is that Lars does not have the musical talent to play one song by Dillinger. Watching Lars attempt to play 43% Burnt would be the funniest thing. It would be easier for him to calculate infinity.

[@Lexilulz]

i have sooo much more respect for this guy now

[@MyPetMartyr]

you damn right they're awesome!

[@Destructerator]

@ video description what is this I don't even

[@Bigngreen]

i can believe that listen too mama said an unforgiven II

[@TheMetalAllfather]

Long time listener, first time caller; when did they change the name of the channel from ChuckBillyTotemPole?

[@underscoreisnotvalid]

james is into meshuggah and DEP? thats awesome!

[@cannibalsex]

Damn straight!

[@Chargeglass]

James also listens to country believe it or not.

[@3eleven]

and there were 4(or is it 5?) bodies that were ready to explode in sheer happiness, at that second...congrats.

[@shakesmay]

When's the Metallica/Dillinger tour?

[@Divad_DA]

Holy shit.

[@1vertigodown]

was that liam in the middle and greg on the left at 0:05 ?

[@xbreakfastcorex]

holy shit. awesome.

[@derbavarian]

who r u to dudge Lars ulrich ?... he is a legend what ever he said no one will replace him ..... done.

[@didgist]

Lars I was pissed about the Napster shit, but it's good to know you still know what it means to rock the fuck out.

[@bedlam23]

But it is nice to see the world hardest working band get the cedit they deserve!

[@Mailrobot]

Im actually going to see them on the 14th. However, I know Im not going to a METAL show. I know Im going to a pop-alternative rock show LOL!

[@Surisis]

I would have never guessed he would say that. Is he talking about old or new or both?

[@stelderhaiderman]

@smackheadmetal epic comment and the thing with your teacher, its the same thing with every fucking teacher in every fucking music school. it´s sad but true.

[@TomWhaley621]

@todddeth good one

[@MMM88X]

How about taking them on tour Lars ?! It would be great to see Dillinger open for Metallica.

[@includao]

ik want to see metallica playing dep

[@goredzilla]

D.E.P. = WIN

[@untitled949]

there a band look them up

[@tamijo-]

WOO! Go Lars! Best thing Metallica have ever done! xD YJ

[@caloomface]

i wouldnt mind seeing metallica trying to cover panasonic youth and

[@luke666808g]

@Mailrobot pop/alt rock, huh? Well I guess they do defy classification...

[@Mailrobot]

I cant read what I posted cuz all the emos DEP fans gave me thumbs down, but Metallica are the biggest posers to have ever been Metal once. So I dont know where you get that I said Metallica weren't posers.

[@Chapter93]

now that is fucking rad.

[@somekindofbattery]

Lars from Metallica, the biggest metal band in the world, gives props to Dillinger Escape Plan - a small indie band in the grand scheme of things - in public to all the press and people can only bitch about Metallica and how much better the thing DEP. So pointless and elitist.

[@Trisket]

@MeatCatCheesyBlaster They have to listen to Lars talk.

[@Mrlaheysbottle]

Lars is a metal god and a poseur all at the same time.

[@Meg_Lovegood]

He is funny

[@XmegallicaX]

Okay, I'm sorry, I misunderstood the message. Maybe I'll listen to your music after all...

[@midgetsrule93]

mike patton did not create DEP

[@1vertigodown]

holy fucking shit!

[@micio800]

@MMM88X They probably get arrested. To much talent on one stage.

[@Mychemicalmetallica]

@godsizedhole good one..

[@Mailrobot]

hahahaha you live in disneyland

[@slimkling]

What? Dillinger kicks ass, all their albums kick ass.

[@Failhaid]

dude you can go to Wacken for that money!!!

[@Duttyboy2402]

I bet Greg jizzed himself when he heard Lars say this.

[@GhANeC]

didnt know tdep said that they were once inspired by metallica (if this is what lars said)

[@googlemail2978]

they named a song 82588 as in August 25th, 1988 the day And Justice was released. Greg's favorite band growing up was Metallica.

[@GhANeC]

google mail which now just makes the lyrics more confusing lol

[@BeingZlatan]

ghoawaynetcabo Fallen angel how you've changed Poison runs through your veins You were never a saint but now you're a sin Spoiled rotten from within I think it makes a whole lot more sense.

[@makeithurtful]

im sure if it wasnt for owning ...And Justice For All when I was 5 or 6 years old, I wouldnt be thrashing my skull to Dillinger nowdays. Funny how that works.

[@OriginalGaucho]

Fuck! That's so cool!

[@emadsen]

So that's why you're commenting on a Metallica video.

[@captainmorrow]

I bet Greg was facing the fuck out when he first saw this!!

[@blacksabbathfan007]

@killerke2 bro it'd be the other way around.

[@Applehurler]

@halonerd04 Because they get mainstream attention. Talent isn't related to it as much as fame, you'll find plenty more talented bands underground.

[@emadsen]

So the hypothetical here is that if you had any talent, then you would be offended if a successful musician said nice things about your band. Does hypothetical indignation feel as good as real indignation?

[@Mychemicalmetallica]

@DeadRedDominance dude..i dont listen MCR man!!!i have the same account with a friend of mine!!and he listens to MCR and I listen to Metallica,Nirvana,Maiden,A7X,Bullet etc..!!

[@Superfission]

Why yes, Lars. The Dillinger Escape Plan certainly does rule all over your ass.

[@Mailrobot]

I dont even know what you are replying to.

[@MMM88X]

Thank god he didn't say Trivium !

[@hilikus8]

shiiiiiittt, nice

[@Mailrobot]

oh please. how much did it take you to come up with that? thats lame.

[@Mychemicalmetallica]

@DeadRedDominance Dillinger is better than Metallica?is that what you're saying?

[@halonerd04]

@adaytoremember518 ok if metallica is gay why are they in the rock in roll hall of fame and nearly one a grammy for every one of there albums

[@ItheZEROmanI]

I wonder what kind of bet he must have lost to say that in public

[@Mailrobot]

why who are posers?

[@BioHazardTBZ]

@killerke2 lol

[@TomWhaley621]

@godsizedhole Dillinger > Metallica? lmao. yeah. okay. good one.

[@GettinMahPwnOn]

Now When You Say Dog, You Mean Your Mom Right? WILL DO. Thanks. :) Have A Nice Day Skipper.

[@Chargeglass]

Wow OMG, he totally BLEW UP on them, wtf take this off your fucking list or rename it

[@lollipophugo]

@MMM88X Mate Metallica should be opening for Dillinger. Sorry but Metallica are old hands and music has moved on. Influential, yes. Still the best? No. Metallica doesn't hold a candle to some of the creative modern bands that stand on their shoulders. Pay tribute to the old legends, for sure. But their time is past. Let the new bands take up the legacy, new bands with as much if not more to offer.

[@Chum_Kiu]

He wouldn't be able to keep up.

[@tanvo93]

saddest thing is people dont know shit about progressing..metallica plays for metallica dillinger plays for dillinger they are not tryin to feed ignorant minds..i play for me music isnt about how heavy u play thats why core music is loosing its edge after the 90's it just went down hill..

[@Grimeyhoob]

hey look Metallica inspired dillinger. theyre both great bands who have (at least at some points in their careers) done something new. That cannot be said for trivium or bullet for my valentine or avenged svenfold, who are all talented, but are not doing anything new, theyre simply replicating the works of other bands

[@BananaRelapse]

@yourname50 every thing that has ever existed> justin bieber

[@comonowicz]

i mean come on whats up woth he scarf :D:DD:D:

[@johndillinger1932]

nothing wrong with metaliica...shame cliff had A BUS ROLL OVER ON HIM...but they wrote song fuckin good songs...one, master of puppets, seek and destroy.....they've played with so many bands..for lars to single out dillinger is great. Fuck Reznor had the entire band play wish with NIN in austraila quite a few times..expect that here in the states somethime soon...NIN/dillinger escape plan on tour..special guest Meshuggah

[@aperisimo]

@godsizedhole LOL

[@mjrupps]

@zealot566 Haha.

[@8JobForAMexican8]

Metallica gives respect to other bands, they don't say "Fuck this band and listen to us" They're grown adults not 21 anymore. And yes they have been talking about modern thrash bands like Exile, or their old friends Selptura making new shit. Don't be so ignorant about bands, and fuck Racer X they're too repetitive Cacophony is twice as better because they expose more talent in their music, and not the same shit like you want it to be.

[@frybacon]

Hating Lars is so trendy.

[@jordangreen93]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahahaha. ^^^

[@coldvoid]

tf so funny, moron? o_O

[@TheSiftonStrangler]

@nickk9 How is LULU epic? Epic Fail!

[@aidanbash08]

learn to spell before you try to rip on a band. Oh and The almighty D? Tenacious D?

[@Mailrobot]

Its not about thrash, is about METAL. Thats why they are posers: cuz they are not metal and they PRETEND to be.

[@doobopsheewaa]

generic time wasting comment about a useless argument!

[@MyRamona]

That is the worst justification for anything ever. You do yourself no favours with having Manowar in your username. BATTLE METAL hahahahahahahahahahahahah!

[@jasper36]

I hate Lars soo much less now it's crazy

[@8JobForAMexican8]

LMAO, thats even more ignorant. You think that people would like a band that plays nothing but thrash that only shows what they CAN play and nothing else? Its all repetitive Slayer barely gets and fame as much as Megadeth does. You can't become a poser by changing your sound, no one gives a fuck what you like from that band it doesn't change who they are. Metallica is talented in so many ways and they should use their talents instead of playing the same shit over and over again.

[@TomWhaley621]

@mee11mee The Black Album was good. Everything after was awful. I clicked on this video for Lars, not DEP. Nice Coheed burn? Still bitter? Chris Pennie doesn't seem to think they suck hahaha

[@metalheadblues]

@DOPOW9419 yeah lars blows

[@TomWhaley621]

@mee11mee lol metallica is a household name worldwide. Essentially every thrash metal band to come out after them cites them as an influence. but Okay, yeah, DEP is 10 times what they are. lmao.
