this is so fucking disappointing
Comment on Disturbed

Draiman is a self-described “very strong supporter of Israel” and last June, he posted images of himself online signing an IDF bomb and appeared to write “Fuck Hamas” on it.
Jesus Christ. It’s so exhausting to continually hear of absolute depravity from people who I used to think were so cool (albeit for this loser, it was when I was like 14).

For real. I got to see Disturbed live when I was 18 and now I’m disgusted with myself for ever thinking Dave was such a badass.

Yeah, I regret ever giving this asshole money. Him and the dude from Staind.

Oh fuck, I hadn’t heard about the Staind dude

W o w. Never listening to that again.

And their version of “Sound of Silence” is the good one, too. Goddamnit.

I always thought that was a terrible cover. I couldn’t grasp why it was so well received.

Simon & Garfunkel minus vocal harmony, plus angsty wallowing. No thanks

He took a beautiful song and made it broody and corny as fuck. I don’t get the appeal, either.
And the music video…
Soup@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Do you have any idea what the song is about? It’s supposed to be broody, it’s depressing as hell. Even Paul Simon said he liked the Disturbed version.

Because it’s the best written song they’ve ever performed (because they didn’t write it)

Its gratingly bad. But people today do not understand good music anymore.
gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Its gratingly bad.
Completely agreed
people today do not understand good music anymore.
I don’t think that’s anymore true than it’s always been, we just have a biased impression of the past because the best stuff from that period stays in rotation, but there was plenty of chart topping crap back then too

I think they played it live on America's got talent or American idol, that's why.

Live with automate.
Can’t describe how much I hate people covering and ruining amazing original songs. Should not be allowed.

Umm, it’s fucking hot garbage shit. Kids today haven’t listened to Bridge over Troubled water all the way through, guaranteed. What a sad realization.

The Johnny Cash cover, as with all Johnny Cash covers, is excellent.

I’m so glad I stopped caring about disturbed close to 20 years ago. Plus, that album after inside the fire was fucking trash.
I saw them live at an open air festival before COVID and that was such a disappointing show. Definitely killed any interest I had, and this just buries the body.

I’ve got a good Draiman story. Disturbed played in my city in 2009. It was an all day music festival. I was on my feet all day which aggravated my old knee injury. Disturbed were the last or second to last band to play at night, so by the time they came on I was in so much pain. I went and sat down in the closest section to me.
The band comes out and plays their set. A bit of the way through Draiman does some crowd interaction. He calls for everyone to stand up. Everyone does, except for my section. He pointed at us and went “what is this, the fucking pussy section?” I looked around… it was the disabled section.
So anyway, that’s the story of how I got called a pussy by Draiman.
