-
Meh.
-
I guess I'm one of the few people on here that doesn't like hearing this news.
-
I'm happy about it, because now my local rock station will have to find a new song to play. :D
-
I don't like hearing this, Disturbed are a great band. This in my opinion is a premature departure for them.
-

I absolutely despise them.
But with that said it's never cool to see bands break up.
-
I'm glad. They used to be my favorite band, but they turned into another rehash band. Hopefully whenever they come back, a creative spark will have united and we'll get some better music out of them.
Not sure about leasing the band name though. That's pretty lame. We don't some hardcore band taking over with the name and releasing shittier music.
-
They're leasing the BRAND name of the Music As A Weapon tour. Not their band name. Silly Zook. :p

Oh :lolpalm:
-
I'm okay with this happening, seeing as Asylum wasn't that good and maybe when they come back they can up their game again.
-
I read that as infinite instead of indefinite.
looks like it's bedtime.
-
I did enjoy Indestructible, but yeah, Asylum had about three or four good songs on it. Sad to see this happen, but oh well.
-

This!
-
There's a reason there is CD players in cars lads. I've got my whole CD collection in my car and never have to worry about bad music on the radio B)
-
And nothing of value was lost.
-
10K Fists and Indestructable were amazing. Asylum was pretty weak. This is a bit of a surprise really.
-

-
Well, I hope if they do come back, they start making better music. Their last 2 albums were pretty stale.
-
About time. They were quickly becoming the AC/DC of poorly done metal.
-
About time. They were quickly becoming the AC/DC of nu-metal.
Except they weren't nu-metal.
-
About time. They were quickly becoming the AC/DC of nu-metal.
Except they weren't nu-metal.
Well, they were when they started. I've edited my post to be more accurate.
-
I liked some early Disturbed. It was the first music I kind of discovered on my own
Actually my next door neighbor turned me on to it, but still,
Even though it lasted like... 6 months and I never listened to them after that
Ok, but really, The Sickness was cool. I listened to a couple of tracks from Believe and liked Liberate. At the time, that's all they had out, so I haven't heard any music from them after that, other than one song from the album after Believe. But since people are saying all of their new music is the same thing, I guess it's not all that sad news.

:facepalm:
-
Early Disturbed was great because it was nu-metal. Their change of sound was their death knell. Not to say I'm against bands that change their sound on principle, but I feel like they just failed at it.
-
They must have come down with the sickness.
-
10K Fists and Indestructable were amazing.
Agreed. I havent listened to Asylum, but I havent really gotten the interest in it.
-
But with that said it's never cool to see bands break up.
What about New Kids on the block?
-
I used to dig these guys. Dug Ten Thousand Fists, Indestructable, and a few songs off The Sickness and Believe. Asylum was pretty awful though.
-
The Sickness through TTF = :metal :metal
Indestructible = :|
I still haven't listened to the entire disc. I have no desire to subject myself to such drudgery.
-
Indestructible had The Night and a couple other cool songs. Mostly filler though. Asylum=all filler, except the hidden U2 cover.
-
For me, Indestructible and Asylum feel like the same album, except all the good songs got dumped on one disc and all the filler got dumped on the other. Except for the opening instrumental and the title track, I love them.
-
Indestructible had The Night and a couple other cool songs. Mostly filler though. Asylum=all filler, except the hidden U2 cover.
Yeah, the only two songs I actually liked were The Night and Inside the Fire.
Also, the album version of Perfect Insanity isn't *bad* but it really loses all the magic of the original.

This.
-
I used to like them, but their last 2 releases sucked IMO.
-
Yeah all the life and energy were sucked right out of the remake of Perfect Insanity. I wish the original had better quality.
-
They started sounding the same after 10,000 fists. The Sickness and Believe were pretty great.
-
They must have come down with the sickness.
I can't believe it took someone this long to say it. :lol
-
Sickness was OK. Overall not a big loss. At all.
-

Agreed. I havent listened to Asylum, but I havent really gotten the interest in it.
Don't bother, it's nowhere near the standard of those two before it.

-
David Draiman is an asshole.
-
Sorry, I just find it funny that someone who likes Iced Earth as much as you do is calling the leader of any other band an asshole. :rollin
-
This had no affect on me. I listened to them in my angst-devoted middle school days and thought they were great. That faded pretty quickly. I can't remember caring about them after Ten Thousand Fists, which I still think has some actually pretty good songs; even then, they're mainly too nostalgia-filled for me to make an accurate judgement. Better a hiatus and/or break up than continuing in mediocrity....or worse.
-
I still really like Indestructible. Asylum's grown on me a little, but I still think it's a half-assed effort (barring the title track, which is fucking awesome). The b-sides and rarities album The Lost Children didn't do anything for me. That was the last album to come out, I believe.
-
Sorry, I just find it funny that someone who likes Iced Earth as much as you do is calling the leader of any other band an asshole. :rollin
Well Jon Schaffer is a crazy asshole, but I bet if he had a twitter account, he wouldn't be a prick to all his followers.
-
Isn't Amob's drummer from Disturbed? I guess he's gonna have a lot of time now....
-
Joking aside, I think Mike Wengren is an excellent drummer, and is wasting his potential with Disturbed and his new project, Fight or Flight.
Oh, and David blocked me on Twitter, but I provoked it after he was being a condescending douchebag. Basically, he posted an article and put "wow, mother of the year". A lot of his followers are idiots, and as a joke mocking those who always take him too seriously, I put "mother of the year? That's awful, David. You should be ashamed! :P" To which he replied, "it's sarcasm, genius, don't you get it? i was merely testing him as I knew he wouldn't get that I too was being sarcastic. I even had the damn emoticon at the end.
Oh then he said I was being "butthurt" (I hate that fucking word) because I tried being a smartass and he called me out on my bullshit. It may have been in bad taste, but I think he was the only one upset that he couldn't tell I was joking with him, even with that damn smiley. The guy is a tool, and it's not the first time he snapped at me. Telling me to butt out of a conversation on fucking twitter. Last time I checked, Twitter wasn't a private messaging service. And I was trying to joke with him that time too.
-

I'm pretty sure the drummer is from some other band.
-
Well the hiatus is over...
The Vengeful One:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8nW-IPrzM1g
The song isn't terrible, but it isn't anything new, and Mike sounds like he's holding back on the drums.
-
Agree, not bad, but they certainly haven't reinvented themselves.
-
This indefinite hiatus needs to be more indefinite
-
Meh.
-
This indefinite hiatus needs to be more indefinite
Quoted for truth.
-
Yeah, 5 years and the new song sounds like a b-side from the last 2 albums.
-
I like the new album cover... that's about it. Seriously, they clearly needed a break after Asylum was so uninspired, but this... sounds like it could have just been shat out with the rest of their music. Hopefully the rest of the album is better. I'd never really expect Disturbed to ever really change their sound, but still, when you announce a hiatus to take a five-year rest from making samey music, and come back with something that just sounds like your filler tracks, it is kind of lol-worthy.
-
So in the time it's taken Tool to follow up 10,000 Days, Disturbed has released two albums....broken up...then got back together and released a third. :censored

omg yes.
-
This song actually isn't that bad. The title track:
https://youtu.be/Auuqlcom6tM
-
So this album has really grown on me. Fire It Up is really the only weak link, but that's mainly due to the stupid lyrics. There are a few other "filler tracks", but overall this album is a nice comeback with some new elements thrown in. Definitely better than Asylum. After over 2 years (when Draiman and I got into a stupid argument on Twitter, revealing his true colors) I finally want to listen to this band again.
-
^^ Did he blast you with all caps in the tweets he sent you?
As for the album, it's not that bad. Probably won't crack my fave five of the year, and there are some skipable tracks, but it's pretty consistent enough from start to finish. I'm glad to hear it. Favorites so far: The Light, What Are You Waiting For?, The Sound Of Silence, Never Wrong, and Who Taught You How To Hate.
-
I've never seen him not use caps lock. I write in all capitals, but never keep caps lock on when typing.
My favorites are Immortalized, Open Your Eyes, The Light (chorus is lacking though) The Sound of Silence, Legion of Monsters and The Brave and the Bold. The other songs are run of the mill, but at least they have a hook unlike anything from Asylum.
-
Great return, I already love the new single and I only discovered it yesterday.
-
I'll probably pick this up on the weekend. Glad to hear it's better than Asylum, that album was a let down.
-
Glad to hear this is better than the singles were leading me to believe. Gonna look for the bonus track version.
-
Got the deluxe version yesterday and having a listen for the first time, up to the song Who, and I'm really enjoying it. I didn't expect anything new but as Zook said, a lot of hooks unlike Asylum. Strong performances and strong production.
-
Heh. The bonus tracks are better than some of the tracks on the actual album. Why would they not include them on the album? :facepalm:
I don't get the hate for Asylum. That album has some killer tracks.
-

yeah, just heard them, I'm glad I got the deluxe edition. Brave and the Bold could be like top 5 at least.
Asylum was just bland and had nothing memorable IMO.
Interesting that John didn't record on the album either. I guess he was out with AM.
-
Yeah IMO, Asylum had 2 absolutely amazing tracks, 1 good/okay track (title track), and the rest was pretty forgettable to me.
-
Didn't know these guys had a new one. Always enjoyed this band. Homogeneous discography but also a consistent one in quality imo. Will listen. But man, I can't keep up with releases this year :lol At least DT postponed to 2016.
-
I'm really liking this cd, although even though the Sound of Silence cover is actually quite brilliant, it feels out of place. Should have been on the end as a bonus track I guess. It's pretty damn impressive though.
-
I don't get the hate for Fire it Up, the lyrics are something different (more suited to Wiz Khalifa song I guess) but the main chorus riff is like top 5 Donegan at least.
The Sound of Silence cover does feel out of place inbetween two heavy rockers, I usually just skip it since I use the album as workout music and it can kinda kill the drive. It's probably their best cover yet though.
-
Fire It Up would be my least fav too actually.
And yeah, Sound of Silence could be their best cover. I still love their Land of Consufion one though.
-
Damn, it's already been 2 years since Immortalized.
Anyway, I learned today that Disturbed, or rather David Draiman, did not coin the phrase "Droppin' Plates", but it may in fact have been........ Beavis. In the episode Green Thumbs during the Michael Bolton video, Beavis suggests Bolton do Gangsta Rap, and says, "Droppin' plates on your ass bitch!" I searched google and only the Disturbed song pops up and people asking its meaning. No other lyrics from rap songs. Did Mike Judge create the term, "Droppin' plates"? He must have heard it from a rap song or rapper or something. Why else would Beavis mention Gangsta rap?
-
Cool, I killed the thread for almost a year. RESURRECTED FOR MEDIOCRITY
New song:
Are You Ready
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55NJzOSuKuY&
-
Fine song, sounds like standard Disturbed
-
Coheed released a new song, Disturbed released a new song...it’s a good day
-
Honestly, this track is a bit meh to me, but quite frankly in terms of the tripe that modern alternative metal bands have released nowadays (Shinedown, Five Finger Death Punch, and Godsmack), I'd prefer this Disturbed track over that sort of tripe I just mentioned.
What up with that music video with the drones and, well for me, the horribly choreographed parkour scenes?
-

NOMACS!
The song isn't bad, but it's an amalgamation of their other songs, down to the same riffs and melodies.
-
Before I discovered DT, Disturbed was my favorite band. The thing with them is that they never explored outside of their original sound and style, which is why a lot of their songs sound similar. This song sounds pretty similar to immortalize or any old “heavy” disturbed song.
With that said, I like it. First listen didn’t do much but second and third time, the song grew on me. Very excited for the album and hopefully seeing them live.
-
This is the band that took a five year hiatus from making albums to freshen up their sound and came back with... the same exact sound, so I'm not really expecting anything to out there from the usual. I still like listening to them though.
Is the new album cover the first one since Believe to not have their mascot on it? :eek
-
I liked the new song. Not sure why, but don't really care. I liked it.
I really love Believe and 10,000 Fists. But to be honest, I think the albums that followed have all been forgettable.
-
Another new song:
A Reason to Fight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4382UVl0oc
It's... OK. David has a great voice, but the song itself doesn't have a lot going for it.
-
Not surprisingly, Evolution isn't very good. I like Hold on to Memories, one of the acoustic ballads. Are You Ready has grown on me though. After one listen, it's still better than Asylum, but not by much.
-
^^ How does it compare to Immortalized? I liked a couple of songs off that one. The Vengeful One, The Light, Who Taught You How to Hate are solid enough and of course, their version of the Sound of Silence is great (albeit overplayed now and probably have overtaken Down with the Sickness as their most well known song now).
-

Immortalized is a masterpiece compared to this album. I like that they tried something different, it's just that aside from the acoustic songs, and adding electronic elements back into their sound, I'd hardly call this album an "evolution". It's really just typical Disturbed, but with a more stripped back classic rock sound, which is exactly what they were going for. There are few songs on Immortalized I didn't care for, but I got more enjoyment from that album. These are my thoughts after just one listen, but I was underwhelmed.
-
I pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition, and tried to cancel, just based on what I've heard. Apparently it shipped, so I'll probably return it. Stick a fork in Disturbed.
-
In all honesty, Evolution is an ok album to me. It's not much of a masterpiece, but it's sure is better than the tripe that their contemporaries (Five Finger Death Punch, Shinedown, and Godsmack) released this year. The ballads I like the most (especially Hold On To Memories), and the heavy stuff were a bit monotonous to me. Are You Ready is quite the grower. You hear it enough on Sirius XM radio and you cannot get it out of your head afterwards, which I guess fulfills its role as a single.
-
I'm interested in seeing them at MSG in February, haven't listened to the new album, probably won't for a bit actually, but I saw them once a couple years ago and thought they were good live.
-
I, too, am interested in seeing them at the Forum in Inglewood, CA. They got Three Days Grace as support and, sure, no Adam Gontier in the band really hurts their appeal, to me, but I'm sure there's going to be some good singalongs in their set. Cheapest tickets in the 200 sections is at least $50.00 + fees. Don't want to pay that price which could go to at least $65.00 fees included.
I guess I will hope that there's a Groupon deal for cheaper. I mean if 30 Seconds to Mars had a Groupon deal for their show at the Forum, Disturbed's bound to have one eventually.
-
I've seen Disturbed three times. Each time, they got showed up in the energy and charisma department by bands they were playing with (Sevendust, and now, of course, I can't remember the other two). And each time, my wife and I both agree, it comes down to two factors - the lack of a second guitar to replicate the heaviness on the albums, and David Draiman thinking he has more control of a crowd than he really does.
I would have liked to have seen them in a club - maybe in a small room, the energy would be different. All three times it has been an arena, theater, or amphitheater.
-
Draiman defintiely gives me that impression too live, but I actually found his signing was better than I expected (I had low expectations from him going in) so he didn't totally turn me off although he just has that smug cockiness that I'm not a fan of type of look.
-
Just wanted to share.
Saw Disturbed yesterday at MSG. It was their first time playing in MSG and the show was pretty good. Some emotional moments (they played tribute to some fallen friends like Chester, Chris Cornell and others).
I don't know who was on stage with them, but they had a second guitarist for a few songs, which was nice. Draiman still sounds awesome.
-
I was there as well, awesome show
Here's my video of Inside the Fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-mRFuCL9TU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-mRFuCL9TU) and I should have more tonight when I get home and can edit/review the footage.
-
Should've got footage of Prayer and Stricken.
-
Should've got footage of Prayer and Stricken.
I have plenty of footage including these songs, just not the whole song. I should have my full video up tonight after work.
-
Awww, man. I checked the setlist for the MSG show. They played Stricken and Ten Thousand Fists? Those were the ones I really wanted see the most at the Forum show, last month, but they didn't play it. They only played Land of Confusion from the Ten Thousand Fists album.
-

Yea looks like they added those songs recently to the set which is awesome for people like myself.
So that concert was a first for eating lobster and crab at a metal show. My friend got hooked up from his brother in law with suite tickets for last night and this suite had a seafood buffet. I was eating lobster tails, crab legs, some of the biggest shrimp ive seen, and sushi. It was sooo good. I'm hoping some of my video of the buffet came out well too :lol

Damn...you lucky. I couldn't imagine eating that at a metal show haha.
But yeah my cuz went to Disturbed and they didn't play Stricken or Hold On To Memories. He did say David did jave a cold though, so it was a calm set.
Looking foward to the video...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrKnXwQzrTI&t=693s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrKnXwQzrTI&t=693s)
I timestamped it for a nice shot of the food spread :lol
I'm so mad though, my camera had an issue during the Disturbed set so I had to use my phone for the end of the video, which isn't terrible but doesn't have the 30x zoom which is useful when you are fairly far away from the action. My mic also caught me singing a bit during Prayer and it's pretty bad
-
Based on your videos, I was sitting at the section right underneath you. I had floor tickets, but decided to sell them for seated tickets.
Cool video though
Edit: actually I can see myself in your video a few times :D

-
I just got my ticket in the mail for the pit for Disturbed at the MMRBQ festival this weekend and now this! Already have my summer pass for PNC Bank Arts Center so I'll be there when they come back to NJ 2 months later.
Based on your videos, I was sitting at the section right underneath you. I had floor tickets, but decided to sell them for seated tickets.
Cool video though
Edit: actually I can see myself in your video a few times :D
Nice, I must have missed this before :metal

Dave D is a great person and has an amazing voice and talent

Dave D is a great person and has an amazing voice and talent
I used to really think he was a dick. He's come a long way. I find him to be so much more likeable now. I put this moment as my #10 top concert moments from 2019 because I thought it was really cool for him to spot something wrong in the mosh pit and explain how you should treat others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THqF_w_UynQ&t=35s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THqF_w_UynQ&t=35s) I find that type of action to be very respectable. Him being very likeable these days is a reason why I will continue to go to their shows as I expect to see them twice this year.
-
Well, the tour with Staind and Bad Wolves has been pushed back to 2021. I think I already got a refund from Groupon on my tickets, so I guess I will try fishing again. Not now though. When it's ok for us to go to concerts as in the state we all know and love, I'll try fishing again.
https://loudwire.com/disturbed-rescheduled-2021-tour-staind-bad-wolves/
-
I guess it will be the 21st anniversary tour then :lol but no surprise here with it just being pushed back to next summer. And like you, I don't plan on buying any tickets until we actually see shows happening again. I see no reason to give livenation my money to hold onto for an entire year just to see if events can even be had.

New song:
Hey You
https://youtu.be/YCGIj7KmwyI
Sounds like everything else they've done. Dan has been using the same riff for 20 years, modifying it slightly as to not plagiarize himself, but it's the same shit. The song isn't horrible, but it's not that great either.
-
Yeah, I kind of like it but it's basically Disturbed by the numbers.
When I saw Disturbed a couple months ago David mentioned the new album will be 90% heavy.
