The Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman spoke to UK magazine Rock Sound about the departure of drummer Gill Sharone. The article states:
"I don't want to say to much about the new guy, he is kind of this secret weapon and we are excited about the fact that he doesn't care about running around promoting himself. He is pretty unknown and got the gig over like thirty ridiculously sick drummers. Some of which are pretty well known. He has very young nipples, though, I must say; makes me jealous.
"I would like to clear up the reality of that situation, It seems everyone is trying to play up that we can't keep members in this band. Gil didn't quit DILLINGER and there is no animosity. We are still friends and were talking about a project we are going to work on when we both have more time yesterday.
"The fact of the situation is that he both didn't like a lot of touring and felt guilty he had gone over a year without really giving his band [STOLEN BABIES] that he started with his twin brother much attention. He wanted to move forward in writing and doing selected shows with DILLINGER but asked if we would be interested in getting a touring fill-in for when he couldn't do it. We decided to go another route and he was understanding of that. That is the reality of the situation."
"The Dillinger Escape Plan look to have tapped The Rivalry's Billy Rymer as their drummer for the foreseeable future. While the band themselves have yet to comment on the situation, The Rivalry have been dropping some not so subtle hints, including mentions of Rymer's 'exciting' new obligations and a mention of "Dillinger Escape Plan's new secret weapon.""
