Confidential To Dillinger Escape Plan: Please Tell Us If Lars Tries To Touch You In Your Bathing Suit Area
Local metal fans already know that NJ/Philly’s Dillinger Escape Plan are loved the world over, and make music that can simultaneously loosen one’s bowels and raise blood pressure. (Philebrity readers, on the other hand, might recognize DEP bassist Liam Wilson as the subject of our first and only Cute Vegan Alert ever.) But the band became aware of some new fans recently, namely Metallica, who saw fit to heap praise on the band on the occasion of Metallica’s induction into the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall Of Fame. Cue the Lars Ulrich soundbyte at minute five of the YouTube clip at right, please:
One band that really excites me is the Dillinger Escape Plan, I think they’re great, [when you're] talking about bands who’ve proclaimed their inspiration from Metallica. They’re awesome.
Hot damn! So long as you can forget for the moment that Lars is the man who killed Napster, this is awesome. Also, don’t watch Some Kind Of Monster. That will ruin this for you, too.

I think one of the Bird bands should rename themselves Bathing Suit Area. If no one takes it, I will, for my imaginary band.

Some Kind of Monster did pretty much out every member except for Kirk Hammett to be a whiny little bitch.
