Of all of the people in music that you could possibly pick a fight with, MTV have decided to print misinformation about human brick shithouse, Greg Puciato. The guy has to be crazy.

If there’s one basic rule of fighting, it’s don’t pick fights you can’t win. In the case of Dillinger Escape plan frontman and all-round double-hard bastard Greg Puciato, this basically means 99% of people walking planet earth right now. Bearing this in mind, would you make up lies about Greg using steroids and post it on your website? No, us neither.

MTV managed it though. Talking about Puciatio, the MTV website states: “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?”

Rightfully refusing to bite his tongue, the Dillinger Escape Plan frontman responded on Noisecreep, saying: “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. 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.

“Unfortunately for him, they don’t have ‘writer potions’ that he can take to better himself at his chosen hobby. While this isn’t the first time that someone has presumed that I take steroids, it is the first time that I can think of that it’s been publicly presumed. Although I usually take it as a compliment, it borders on slander when done in this way, and in actuality, it’s more of a shame that we live in a time in which people assume that you need to cheat somehow in order to actually achieve anything worthwhile.

“Your article says more about you, James, than it says about me. Regardless, thanks for the publicity softball pitch, and you can thank me in return. Keep practicing the whole ‘writing’ thing, cause it apparently doesn’t come that naturally to you. And meanwhile I’ll go pop all the huge zits that I have on my back, beat the s— out of my girlfriend for having a guy friend, start a fight at a sports bar, drunk-bang a bunch of 19-year-old sorority chicks and crush 20 Wendy’s double stacks.”

We think the moral of this story is that Greg Puciato rules. The Dillinger Escape Plan will release their unbelievable new album, ‘Option Paralysis’, on March 22nd.
