Disturbed
Biography
Heavy metal band Disturbed came together through the matching of a band with a singer. Longtime friends Dan Donegan (guitar), Mike Wengren (drums), and Fuzz (bass) played together in Chicago for some time before hooking up with singer David Draiman around 1997. Draiman had grown up in a religious family against which he rebelled, being expelled from five boarding schools in his adolescence. His anger found an outlet in the thrashing sound of Disturbed, and the band built up a following on Chicago's South Side before a demo tape led to their signing to Giant Records, which released their debut album, The Sickness, in March 2000. The band gained more fans and exposure playing the main stage of the 2001 Ozzfest, then breaking away to do their own self-described "victory lap" around the U.S. that fall. Also during this period, they managed to record a vicious new version of wrestler Steve Austin's theme song that was so good it managed to receive radio play, and they were one of the many bands announced to work on a high-profile Faith No More tribute album.
Disturbed stepped into the studio after stepping off of the road and began work on a new disc that would reflect their growth as a band.

that seems to apply to 75% of reviewers. most of them don't know jack about the music they critique.

Disturbed is metal, maybe not Heavy Metal (is there a Medium Metal, lol?) but I would list bands like Godsmack, Nickelback, Creed as Hard Rock. Of course, there are those that say Hard Rock, Alt Rock, and Metal have blended together to create Alt Metal, but whatever. No one can keep track of all those genres, and reviewers just seem to make their own up when they don't know what they're talking about.

people complain about everything. what a universal thing.
|
||
@Schemes: Does this mean I can go back to complaining about modernism then?
So, I'm listening to "The Divine Wings of Tragedy" by Symphony X, and it's been kicking huge amounts of arse for the last 15 minutes. |
||
everyone makes mistakes... ive mde more than my share already.. ok i would go through a drive through in an ironman suit anytime. nomatter what, because nothing could stop me!!!!!
|
||
@Schemes: Most of these bums you speak of have made a series of very bad life choices that ends them up homeless, so I'm pretty pitiless in that area...There are always a few exceptions, but I'm pretty heartless.
@Thunda: Not legally. |
||
Hey if i was out patrolling in the IRONMAN suit ....Do you think i could go through the drive-thru?? ? Im just wondering...
+BOW CHIKA BOW WOW BIATCHES!!+ |
||
you complain about the buildings you live in....
what about the bums that live in cardboard boxes when they are lucky. and in nothing when they are not so lucky. |
||
good point. most modern buildings are not "done well" in my opinion. so they bore me. lol
|
||
@Thunda: Yeah, it'd be pretty impressive, but you'd need a garage for it...
@Fangirl: plain walls and clear glass windows can be interesting if done well. It's just that they're usually not. |
||
Well i would much rather have the IRON MAN suit personally
|
||
interesting, Plague. over decorating can not be a good thing, but plainness bores me sometimes. walking into a modern building with plain walls and clear glass windows... it just seems that the basics were made and not much other creative effort was added to it.
I agree that the masonry in those buildings are very impressive. but at the end of the day, I just prefer buildings that has a not very modern style of architecture . . . |
||
...were criminals and "savages". The stained-glas s in Gothic cathedrals is impressive, but it's the masonry in those buildings that really amazes me.
|
||
@Thunda: That's the funny thing about modern architecture . . . m o s t of it's not practical.
If you're going for practical, ask yourself this question: Why are there so many Craftsman style homes? @Fangirl: I can't remember the guy's name off the top of my head, but he was one of the early modernists and he wrote an essay about how we shouldn't decorate our buildings, because it was the equivalent to getting tattoos and piercings, and the only people with tattoos and piercings at the time... |
||
hmm... I kinda like anything that's not modern. modern is too plain and un-decorativ e in my opinion. gothic, or the churches at least had very ornate stained glass windows that had beautiful pictures, even if most were religious. it's incredible how long it took for some really old buildings and churches were built - hundreds of years!
I read a bit of gothic architecture , but other than that, I'm not a pro at this stuff. this is my few cents. |
||
MODERN...... . . W a i t how about classical for its beauty and modern for praticallity ?
|
||
Ah, I see, you're just giving us a hard time.
Okay, intelligent discussion topic. Classical vs. Gothic vs. Modern architecture . Which is the best and why? (Hint: There are no right or wrong answers, and personal preference is a valid reason, as long as you back it up.) |
||
plague: hell idk man my brother came over and had me put that up. so i just ran with it. i know some about it but its no big deal
|
||
lol, and he's quite the expert at keeping us off his property...
man, TBW is pathetic. |
||
LOL. Pretty much. I suppose it's like his equivalent to marking his territory... l e a v i n g little troll droppings lying around just where you didn't want to see them.
|
||
Well, Plague, I can do the same f**king s**t that he does. It's not that f**king hard to do this s**t. He thinks he's a f**king genius but he's a real dips**t. F**k him.
|
||
@Schemes: Well, fill us in with some of your theories on the matter (and background info, because you clearly have an opinion on the subject) and start expanding our knowledge bases.
@Immortal Hybrid: TGS only wants to type words that pandora will replace at least 50% of his letters with *s. So yeah, basically it's nonsense used as an excuse to put the profanity filter into high gear. |
||
I feel like he wants to say something, but he can't form a sentence that actually makes sense.
|
||
Does anyone know what TGS talks about? It feels like he types nonsense.
|
||
wow... TBW is still delusional.. .
|
||
Well, that, and Metallica is also one of the most widely copied metal bands I've ever heard, especially their early stuff. Seriously, I hear Metallica riffs in everything.
|
||
Once Metallica went into the Load era, they became similar to f**king everyone. Is it really that surprising? The Tuesday's Gone cover could even make them similar to southern rock. Now, if you took a band like Megadeth, they would be similar to fewer bands since they have kept the same sound the entire time.
Not saying I like one better than the other, just to stop the M v M debate before it happens. |
||
Disturbed sells 450 million recordings of the sickness and you f**k face frank eaters are talking about space, moon and the stars. Give me a mother f**king break jerk off mother f**king face warmers!
|
||
@Schemes: We only like discussion about simple topics that we all know stuff about.
|
||
haha lol
you ask for a disscusion and i give it to you. and what do you do? stick you thumbs up ur asses and look at each other dumbfounded. typical oh so typical... |
||
agreed, Baron.
and I have no idea why Metallica is "similar" to Godsmack. that's inaccurate too. |
