He is an absolute virtuoso.. never liked the dillinger drummers that came after him quite as much. he was the perfect fit for the band, same with dimitri. his single and double strokes were flawless

@@underscoreisnotvalid flawless paradiddles and blasting, too.

I was a huge fan of the DEP (saw them 5x in 1yr), but once Chris left they're music was never the same...

@@raumyurena5693 yep, Chris was the "calculating" to Ben's "infinity"

Agreed! I remember for a while he was playing with only one Tom (floor) and that just blew my mind so hard

Ppl forget how sick Benoit was

Dimitri is the best vocalist for this band, I still like the miss machine album, but the previous albums are my favorites

Good work

The guitar part on that song definitely has to be a one of the best Dillinger guitar parts ever

​@@jaggercanney7821i just got a notification of this . Weird .

@@michaelvieregge2257 *mullet hahah 2 year old typo

The Nick Mullen burden

I actually like Dimitri's vocals better than Greg's.

@@rungavagairun I always liked Dimitri but Greg could do a lot more vocally bringing TDEP to new heights.

I think they dont know what happened😆

Shit. I think I found them the same way. Is that that same gorguts that became gorod? I remember the hottest shit back then was Dillinger calculating Infinity, psycroptic sceptre of the ancients, gorod leading visions and pig destroyer.

Gorguts 👍

@@reyntime1950 nah Gorguts was always Gorguts. They were traditional death metal on their 1st 2 albums, and quite good at that, but on their 3rd album "Obscura" they completely lost their minds. Must hear if you haven't. Nothing quite like it.

​@@reyntime1950You're thinking of Gorgasm who changed their name to avoid confusion with the US band. The one & only Gorguts from Canada.

Scepter of the ancients I found at FYE such a good find

blah blah blah

Nothing today can touch this.

@@jumpfart666I guarantee there's some band of dudes making music as good as this, but they're unknown playing in some tiny venue

Haha yes, It was a small load of a crowd and either they were to week to not catch him or he was to big😂😂

And they didn't even count themselves in!

I'm 6'2", and he looks taller than me.

He's not. Dimitri is like 5'9"-5'10". Liam is like 6' even. It's not even that they're tall, it's Ben is small lol

Also Jeff "I got shot in the head and became even awesomer" Wood on bass.

Yeah this lineup and the Miss Machine lineup are the best. I didn't mind Greg coming in, but after Chris Pennie left, they were never as good.

You couldn’t be more wrong lmao

what do you mean

@@casperado666 um... he was awesome?

and then send it to me lol

I actually did find it, it has some pretty deep scratches on the disc, I'm going to see if I can get it to work. Also found a BTBAM live set from the Alaska years.@@mirandalarrieu8337

lame

Jim Fear really fucking scared me when i first heard it. He seemed honest about his rage. And that's what i loved about him. Greg souded too controlled

same

Man, Chris Pennie, absolutely one of the best drummers to ever exist yet nobody knows his name. Sad.

@@lukerogers151 I went to Coachella 2010 when I was 19...mostly for Faith No More, but I really wanted to see DEP, and they were my first metal show. Patton was there for FNM, and Pennie for Coheed...I thought there might be some crazy crossover lol. I wish Chris's playing was more exciting in Coheed, they are boring to me. Glad he's back doing stuff with Greg.

@@lukerogers151 dont feel too bad . A bunch of us drummers still know and love him more than our own children and parents

hear hear. Greg's vocals were too controlled. Dillinger's first record was pure rage, pure chaos, beautiful explosion of negativity. With Greg it was not the same smh. I mean it was still great, but it was a different band

@@casperado666 yeah I like the rage and chaos. With Greg it was a different band, they should of changed the name

Amen.

everyone seemed to be pivoting towards more melody at that time. when miss machine came out, i was so excited for it because i knew DEP wasn’t gonna follow that pattern. and then they did. i understand now that bands have to grow, they can’t make the same record over and over again, but at the time? i was pissed. it’s still not my cup of tea, calculating infinity will forever be a massive achievement in aggressive music. converge, cave in, coalesce, botch and DEP. every single one of them have made records that are untouchable.

@@heysahan well said, man. What are coalesce and cave in albums you would recommend?

Jeff Wood of THE SHAT. Adam was already wheelchair bound by this point. His accident happened just before they were gonna record Calculating. Brian was still in Converge at that point, this was likely one of his first shows with them.

R u reffering to the Greg era of DEP?

yes, exactly @@klar7566

“A jock singer”? What do you suppose Dimitri was, then? Aquaman?
