In a recent MTV article, in which seemingly was intended to be a satirical editorial linking Mark McGwire’s steroid use to a number of musicians, The Dillinger Escape Plan’s vocalist Greg Puciato was accused of allegedly using steroids.
MTV writer James Montgomery wrote:
“The diminutive wailer for New Jersey spazzers Dillinger Escape Plan is ripped enough for a man five-times his size, and though he’s denied using steroids (he chalks his physique up to “eat[ing] a lot of protein and work[ing] out a lot”), we’re still not entirely convinced. Then again, positively destroying the stage on a nightly basis has to have some benefits, right?”
After a series of angered Twitter posts from Puciato in response to the accusations, Montgomery released the following statement:
“So, Greg — and, really, anyone else who I offended with yesterday’s post — I’m sorry. I didn’t do the due diligence this time around. I wrote something that was potentially damaging, and pretty irresponsible. My intention was not to suggest in any way that anyone on my list has every actually used steroids. Rather, I was attempting to poke fun at a pretty ridiculous situation, and, in turn, only created a more ridiculous one. It won’t happen again. Please don’t kill me.”
Puciato told Noisecreep:
“In a bizarre MTV news story today about Mark McGwire and steroids, some writer guy who writes ‘news’ that nobody probably reads anyway decided to basically accuse me and some other musicians of steroid use,” Puciato said. “Irresponsible? Yes. Understandable? Of course, because he obviously doesn’t know what it feels like to have actual willpower and drive. I don’t know what it feels like to be a total p—- who manifests his own inadequacies by accusing other people of cheating in order to achieve something of notice.”
The Dillinger Escape Plan’s forthcoming album, “Option Paralysis”, is set for release on March 23rd.

Dillinger Escape Plan Issue Update
Greg Puciato of The Dillinger Escape Plan recently checked in with a update on the band’s current happenings. Puciato commented:
“Since the last checkpoint, we finished recording our new album “Option Paralysis”, played a bunch of killer shows with Thursday, Fake Problems, and Endless Hallway, and then capped off the decade with two exceptional shows with our buddies Gogol Bordello, Glassjaw, Thursday, and United Nations. 2010 is gonna be a really big one for us. There’s no better way for us to start a decade then by releasing a new album in the first quarter(March 23) of the first year, and then by touring and playing everywhere that this big spinning rock will have us. Hopefully we’ll manage to avoid self destructing by 2011, cause as I’m sure you guys can tell we always have our finger hovering around the red button no matter how long we’re around. It’s the only way we know how to roll. Full speed or die. This shit ain’t fun when it’s safe, folks. Safety and comfort is boring, and leads to even more boring art. What I’m trying to tell you guys is to SABOTAGE YOUR LIFE NOW WHILE YOU CAN BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!!! What I’m really trying to say is that things in The Dillinger Escape Plan are unbelievably great right now. We’re about to unleash what we and a lot of close longtime critical eared friends around us all feel is our best album to date, and we’re all healthy and playing furious shows lately, so lets embrace it all while it’s here ’cause given our track record who the hell knows how fast and how long we can keep the train runnin’ this time. Lets all kick ass and make 2010 the best it can be and try to start strong, and finish even stronger than we began it. We’re ready to do our part.”
