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.

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. |
||
they finally took Metallica off of here as similiar artist.
I definately agree. this new list is a bit more accurate. |
||
Ummm...I'll take one of my lifelines now?
Never learned much about the history of the English, nor have I ever bothered to research Jack the Ripper. |
||
OK pop quiz kiddies
why did the London White Chapel murders of the late 1880's make national news? why are people still fascinated with "Jack The Ripper"? isn't it strange that at the time of the ripper murder is when socialism got a final foot hold in england and the monarch loss power? why was the ripper never caught? or was he caught and it hushed up by the authorities? was Mary Kelly the last victim? or did she escape the rippers clutches by going to France? |
||
Well, since nothing's going on, I'm going to recommend looking up the German band Deadlock. They play melodic death metal with the twist of 'beauty and the beast' vocal stylings. It's a quite nice combination, and I must say, I dig it.
|
||
I'm not asking for bloody murder but something interesting to comment forever about.
but then again, my comment could have been interpreted in many ways... |
||
When I think i am appreciated again ill start postng awesome stuff.....
+DEATH TO....WAHTEV e r . . + |
||
@Dirty Focker: No. But some discussion WOULD be nice.
|
||
yes, Plague, I screamed at an inhuman volume because I miss some good action! the calm is nice, but nothing fun came from this one... :'(
kudos to sarahrockano c k a and Winter for that mimicry! ah... good times... |
||
ALSO, DO NOT TAKE THAT LAST COMMENT AS ME ENDORSING PUNCHING WOMEN IN THE FACE. I DON'T ACTUALLY ADVOCATE IT.
|
||
@Christian Galvis: To be honest, I'm kind of of the opinion that your ex deserves a good fist to the face as well. I'm kind of a fan of the whole loyalty and faithfulness thing, and don't think highly of the unfaithful.
Okay, Disturbed isn't the only alt. metal band that's guilty of this, but I HATE it when in their music videos, the bassist and guitarists step forward when they do a big palm-muted downstroke. It's like acting tough and aggressive instead of just BEING tough and aggressive. |
||
Great. You guys want to turn this into the Godsmack page, don't you?
NNNNNOOOOOOO O O O O O O O O O ! ! ! |
||
lol ... good one. OK now I'll pretend to be a fan. YOU'RE AN F'N BLANKETY BLANK, DISTURBED IS GONNA BE IN ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME! THE SHEAR AMOUNT OF RECORD SALES PROVES THAT! YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR GOURD IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE! THIS IS THE NEW WAVE OF METAL MAN, SO GET OUT OF THE PAST AND INTO THE NEXT GENERATION .. AND STUFF. SO GTFO, STFU, ULCA, USC, NOTRE DAME, PENN STATE, ... um ... yeah.
Cheers sarah! ;) |
||
haha...wow. do we really need the haters anyway? hah....oh geez. okay fiiiine, i'll pretend to be a hater...ehem . . *clears throat* "I AM DISGUSTED WITH THE LACK OF TALENT THAT IS SPEWING OUT OF THEIR UGLY TALENTLESS MOUTHS! HOW CAN A PERSON IN THEIR RIGHT MIND LISTEN TO THIS TRASH?! I MEAN SERIOUSLY, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO GOOD OL' ROCK AN ROLL? THIS IS A DISGRACE TO THE ROCK N ROLLERS BEFORE US! UGH! I THINK I JUST SUFFERED FROM A MINI HEART ATTACK! UGH!" ...there! XD carry on!
|
||
I kinda like the calm (before the storm?). Maybe someone with new info about the band will post something.
|
||
so is it normal that even though my girlfriend was cheating on me, I couldn't punch the guy in the face she was cheating on me with? What the f**k is wrong with me!?
|
||
@Fangirl: That's the shortest rant out I've ever seen. I hope you were screaming it at an inhuman volume, because that's the only excuse you have for being out of breath from it. :D
@Thunda: Did you ever check out anything from that list of bands that we suggested to you a week or so back? |
||
where are the pissed off fans who think we're freaking retards??? where's The Bad Wolf to scream "f**k" after every single word? where is there ANYONE who can make this page fun again????
*falls down, out of breathe from rant* |
