— they were brought together by a shared punk rock spirit. And for the last few decades, these tight-knit groups have proven to be the dominant force in alternative rock, according to Mike Shea, founder of “Alternative Press,” who used the word “community” to describe the scene.Shea said Shapiro was “vital” in bringing these punk rock subcultures to the masses.

“In this music industry, there are just too many people ripping people off and using people,” he said. “Dave was not like that. He was a beautiful soul, and beautiful person, a guiding force, just someone who would end up being an inspiration for so many people. And he will continue to be an inspiration.”And it was not only musicians but also many booking agents, band, and tour managers and promoters who got their big breaks because of Shapiro, Gutches said.The bands Shapiro represented are many of the most popular of their genre and scene, like the Grammy-nominated Sum 41 or the platinum-selling Pierce the Veil.

That also includes The Devil Wears Prada, one of the best-known metalcore bands of the last few decades, celebrated for their ability to marry melodic punk rock with metallic detouring. When Williams “was in the band, that’s when they broke out,” Shea said.Gutches said Williams captivated audiences at shows with his drumming as much as a band’s frontman does: “Daniel was putting on a show from his style of playing.”

The tributes will continue for both, Shea said, as more and more artists reveal the impact Williams and Shapiro had on their lives.

Case in point: “There is no single person more responsible for my identity as a professional adult than Dave Shapiro,” metalcore band Issues bassist Skyler Acord said via Instagram.A table sits ready for customers at the Quintonil restaurant in Mexico City, Friday, Feb. 28, 2025.

“In Mexico City, we have ‘escamoles’ season,” Vallejo said, referring to an edible larvae the Aztec people ate. “But in Oaxaca, we can find the ‘chicatana’ ants. In Tlaxcala, ‘cocopaches’ (a leaf-footed bug) and in Guerrero, they have insects of their own.”Alexandra Bretón, a food enthusiast who has visited Quintonil several times and reviews restaurants in her blog

feels that Vallejo’s contribution to Mexican gastronomy is invaluable.“He has elevated Mexican ingredients,” Bretón said. “My memories of Quintonil are of dishes where herbs, insects and vegetables are taken seriously in dishes with great technique.”
