Dillinger Escape Plan Frontman Rants

Greg Puciato unleashes his fury in a lengthy blog post about the current state of the USA.

Dillinger Escape Plan frontman Greg Puciato has unleashed a scathing attack on the US Government's recent handling of the economic crisis. He also rebukes the American people for their support of current policy in a lengthy blog post:

''You ever wonder how prosperous countries fall? Or wish you could have been around for the fall of the Roman Empire? Well you might be in luck. Remember how psyched most of us were when Obama won? Well it turns out he's pretty much George W. Bush lite, wearing a young black man costume, and it pisses me off waaaaaay more than W did because at least George smelled like a dick coming into it. You knew he didn't know any better, he would be working at a tractor dealership or something if his last name wasn't Bush, so even though he pretty much screwed up at every possible opportunity, what did you really expect out of the guy?

Obama on the other hand had every single possible thing he could ever have going for him: public sentiment for change, public disapproval for current government policies on just about every issue, charm, relative newness and lack of corruption from the system, youth, a different/hipper look....and with his overwhelming victory, he obviously had people's support, so really was in position to shake some shit up. So its sooooo much more infuriating to watch him still pander to old white dorks who haven't had a fresh idea or uncorrupted brain cell blinking in their heads since my parents were born.''

Puciato's solution?

''f I could tell everyone to do one thing right now, it would be to buy a gun, preferably a non traceable illegal black market machine gun, basically whatever gun you can find that comes the closest to the one Jesse The Body used in Predator to level the ENTIRE JUNGLE(how rad was that?), buy a bunch of gold bricks, put that shit in a safe and be ready to shoot people in the face when it all goes down....even if they wear a uniform. Sound like lunacy you say?''

In other news, Puciato has contributed backing vocals to a new Every Time I Die song and Dillinger Escape Plan will enter the studio on July 20th to record their new album.
