Someone is suddenly uncomfortable with his level of complicity.
I’m sure the Palestinians killed by his autograph feel much better now.
This asshole got booed at the last Ozzy show.
Fucking piece of shit.
So frustrating when someone with an admirable skill is a moral pariah. The guy has genuinely studio perfect vocal compression. Every metal vocalist knows it. You don’t need to like disturbed to hear it.
Joins the ranks of R Kelly and Kanye, Tim Lambesis, P Diddy, Ian Watkins, etc.
May AI bastardize their catalogues 🙏
Holy crap. I did not know that about Tim. That fucking sucks, As I Lay Dying has been one of my favorite bands since I was a teenager
Piece of shit, not quite Ian Watkins. We all have trump fans in our familes somewhere, they aren’t all infant abusing pedofiles
If any of my trump family members signed a bomb and said they hoped the dead kids it killed would come to their show, I would 100% disown them the same.
Jon Schaffer lol
Fuck Jon Schaffer. Iced Earth was my favorite band back in the Barlow 1 / Ripper era. Traitorous fuck.
Funny how compassion always seems to manifest if your pocketbook might get hurt
Disturbed are still around? Well, I’ll continue nor buying their stuff, I guess
They sucked when I was in high school. Guess they still suck now, too.
They did, and they still do, too.
No, Mommy, I’ll be a good boy!
Fuck him for this.
Very very much smaller stakes here, but also fuck him for naming his shit band “Device” when Device was already an incredible (if obscure) 80s hair metal band, which included Holly Knight (who wrote Love Is A Battlefield among other songs).
Amusingly the music video for Device (the good one)'s “Who Says” (youtube link here, and I highly recommend at least listening to the song if not also watching the video, it’s a BANGER) has a comment from Holly herself from ten years ago throwing shade at this shithead for taking the band name anyways after he asked her for it and she said no.
This is the guy that wanted the dead children to come to his concert, right? You’re never going to get anything approaching a straight answer from this asshole.
I’m sorry he did what?
I knew he was a piece of shit when he ruined Simon & Garfunkel.
As someone who spent his 20’s working in the music industry, I think it’s important to underline that success or talent for a person in music has literally nothing to do with that person’s intelligence.
Doesn’t mean they can’t be smart, but it’s far more likely than people think that the musicians you love are kinda dumb as fuck.
I think that lack of self analysis/awareness frees up the capacity to convey raw emotion or something…
Fuck Draiman, and good that this article is calling him out.
But at the same time, it’s in itself still both sides-ing a genocide and was a somewhat infuriating read.
I have compassion for anyone who has ever paid to see one of his shows.
Seldom I wished so much for an ordinance accident.
Ordnance*
Little happy accidents.
Grabbing the fuse seems to track.
This is ridiculous. It’s hard to believe the guy who wrote “Let the Bodies Hit the Floor” is capable of this. Does he actually think his fan base in the death metal murder scene will tolerate this sort of behavior?
That was Drowning Pool.
That plus the death metal murder scene referring to Disturbed makes me think it was satire
That’s some obscure satire. More likely explanation is ignorance.
Down With the Sickness*.
…I got my songs mixed up. When I was in the death metal murder scene in highschool, these songs were on the same playlists. At this point I listen to Taylor Swift and electronica.
Regardless, it is outrageous that the person behind the “No mommy, don’t do it again” song would do this. Unacceptable.
Are they part of the death metal murder scene?
