"So guys, I've decided to pursue another hobby in film production, I feel like I'm very passionate about it. Don't worry though, I still wanna make music and all...just not music with you guys anymore, you know...if that's cool. We still best buds?"

Well that kinda sucks. I'm sure they will find a replacement just as ridiculous though.

I'll surely miss Jeff. But, Ben Weinman IS The Dillinger Escape Plan. Once he's ready to throw in the towel, That's it.

They'll find someone more than suitable to fill his position, he was awesome when I saw them live a couple years back, but this band has had so many line up changes and all of the new members have fit the band well each time so i'm not too worried about it

Seems like it was a pretty happy leaving for the band. Hope the guy does well with all future projects and gets some films out!

And Dillinger will go on as long as Weinman/Puciato are still there.

I know Weinman was hoping to avoid any more line up changes so I bet he's pretty pissed.

Ayo what the fuck, man. Jeff was awesome.

Glad it's not Weinman, Puciato or Wilson, but still. Guess Tuttle finally saw enough horror/cyberpunk/surrealist films to want to make them.

Jeff is great and is definitely a loss to the band but JEEZ I almost shit myself because I thought it was Ben.

^If Ben decided he hated everyone/didn't want to do the band anymore (or both), there wouldn't be any DEP. He writes all of the music - everyone else is (in a sense) replaceable, although I couldn't honestly see the band carrying on if Greg decided to leave. The main thing Jeff brought to the band was his personality and energy, which will be hugely missed I think

No prob, they just need to find another guitar player who hits a trillion notes per minute. Start looking on youtube.

@NoMeansYes You came off as if he's a burden to the band in your first comment.

from various interviews and stuff i've read it seems that ben just goes and locks himself away during the writing process and then brings everything in to see if the other memebers have any input. But by the sounds of things it's his band and his rules

Honestly DEP is basically just Greg and Ben, all other members (and maybe even greg) are replaceable.

I guess he doesn't think he could keep up with the work load of DEP while studying and doing side projects?

Either way I hope they find someone and that their next album is better for it.
