(Metal Hammer) The Dillinger Escape Plan's Ben Weinman says he will miss the band's frantic live shows when the band call it quits. The group confirmed recently that their new album, Dissociation, will be their last and that they'll split once the related touring commitments come to an end.
Looking back on a number of smaller shows they've played in recent weeks, guitarist Weinman says not having those to look forward to scares him - even though they often lead to nasty injuries.
He tells Fret 12: "The last couple of weeks we've done intentionally small shows. My eye like exploded so bad. I had to play all the shows and I couldn't see, I had stitches.
"That's not a big deal, it's what happens when you're in such close proximity and trying to have the free expression. I love the small shows, but there are some shows we played in the last few weeks that were straight up stupid.
"The scary thing for me, in ending this, is I'm not scared of continuing to do this - I'm scared of not having those shows." Read more here.
