Liam Wilson

Liam Wilson (born December, 22) is an American musician.

He is currently the touring bassist of In Flames.

He is best known as the bass player for the Dillinger Escape Plan during 2000-2017, and previously played for Starkweather.

He is also a member of Azusa and John Frum, which features John Zorn guitarist, Matt Hollenberg and ex-member of the Faceless, Derek Rydquist on vocals.

He is an advocate of veganism.

Wilson is capable of playing both finger-style and with a pick, although he used a pick almost exclusively with the Dillinger Escape Plan as he felt it fit the music more.

Concerned about environmental causes, Wilson wore a shirt with the homemade message "Stop MTM/VF" on the Dillinger Escape Plan's February 2, 2008, appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Wilson has been a big advocate for veganism and has appeared in several pro-vegan advertisements for PETA, although in recent years he has distanced himself from the organization and is more flexible about those beliefs because of his yoga, and transcendental meditation practices.

Wilson performed with the band Frodus (aptly labeled "Frodus Escape Plan") for a few reunion shows in March 2009 as a statement in response to the bank bailouts and the uncovering of corporate corruption in the financial sector.

Wilson was featured on the cover of Bass Player's September 2013 issue.

He has also written several columns for the magazine, in which he extols the virtues of Bikram yoga in relation to his bass playing.

Wilson married his long-time girlfriend Jessica Curreri in 2020, in a private ceremony.

In 2020, Wilson was chosen to perform in one of Devin Townsend's live bands that year.
