Here's from an interview with Greg Puciato from The Dillinger Escape Plan:
"Paul: Be honest. When you first met the band, do you think they were intimidated by your size?
Greg: I hate that, man. I'm really uncomfortable with it, honestly. Especially in hardcore, everyone are all very skinny and small and vegans and stuff. I was really uncomfortable with it at first, everyone thought I was some kind of jock or something. I mean, I'm not like that, I've always been into punk and hardcore, metal, stuff like that. When we first started, every now and then, I would hear that, like “Dillinger's new singer is a meathead.” That's not true, man, not true at all. For so long, when we went on stage, I'd feel so uncomfortable. I'd wish that I could be like ninety pounds and then turn back to normal once I got off stage. Now, **** it. People are used to it by now. It's not that big of a deal. It's never been an issue in the band. I mean, we're not a band that has a look, you know. Our bass player has a mullet with like a blond stripe in it and a Fu Manchu, handlebar mustache or something like that. He wears shorts on stage. We're not like, “Hey everybody's got to wear this” or “We've got to have our hair like this” or something like that.” It's just not an issue for us. We were all kind of weird about it when people started talking, we had never thought of it. Whatever, man, just look at dudes like Henry Rollins. He was a big dude. Have you seen Trent Reznor lately, man?
Paul: No. Is he bulking up?
Greg: He is ****ing huge. He makes me look like a ****ing toothpick. Apparently he stopped drinking and doing drugs and just started lifting weights like crazy.
Paul: I can't see that at all. Wow.
Greg: It's the weirdest looking thing ever. He's short, like shorter than me, and I'm super-short, so he's like this tank going around on stage, singing these songs. It was really weird, he was wearing these leather pants and a sleeveless vest, and I'm like “I could never do that, wear a sleeveless vest.” It's weird. He has a shaved head. I mean, he's Trent Reznor, and he looks like Danzig now. I went backstage, I'm friends with the guitar player, and he's like, “Come check out Trent's dressing room.” I walk back there and it's like GNC. He has all these crazy ****, like energy drinks and creatine and stuff. I was just like, “What the ****? This is the singer from Nine Inch Nails? He's eating weight pills and creatine?” He has these huge dumbbells, I couldn't pick them up. I couldn't even pick them up. Apparently, he's just stopped drinking and doing drugs and does nothing but lift weights now. More power to him though. Whatever you're into."
