Is this video worth breaking your foot for?
That's a rhetorical question, but the answer's irrelevant. It was actually the shoot for The Dillinger Escape Plan's yet-unreleased "Black Bubblegum" video the day before this one was filmed that resulted in guitarist Ben Weinman breaking his foot. For "Milk Lizard," he rolled up to the set in a wheelchair and played in a cast -- but you'd never know it from his frantic, energized performance, while probably pushed a few fractured bone fragments in directions that didn't help that shattered foot heal any faster. Oh, well, you know what they say about bleeding for art.
Check out what Weinman and director Ilan Sharone have to say about the video here. And watch it again on Headbangers Ball this Saturday on MTV2.
