Every artist loves Taylor as she fought and continues to use her money, power, and influence to give all artists ownership access to their content AND a fare touring wage from ticket sales. Fuck You Live Nation!
I've only ever seen two bands live, because I refuse to pay for overpriced tickets. Disturbed was one of them, and I went with my mother because she had won the tickets from the radio. Yes, you read that right. My mother ROCKS.
Last time disturbed came to Australia, my mum came along to the concert 😄 the time before that I called her from the concert so she could listen to inside the fire live.
Dave and the rest of the band are solid dudes. They take care of their crew and it’s refreshing seeing nu metal bands not falling victim to going all alt right
god, i totally forgot about incubus... pretty much heard the last song of em 20y ago... thanks for the heads up, i now know what im listening to next! cheers!
I saw these guys and some others when I took my daughter to her first concert earlier this year she thoroughly enjoyed the show we were there to see pierce the veil
Saw them at the “The End” tour for Black Sabbath with Opeth and Megadeth. They played after Mustaine and the gang, and before Geezer and the geezers. The interest to disdain ratio was one quarter to three quarters respectively. Hadn’t heard that amount of boos at any concert since Marilyn Manson at Voodoo Fest New Orleans when he bitched and moaned about the audiences’ interaction and walked off stage. Both memorable in their own ways. No hate here.
That's a hellava photo. Would be triple awesome if you could get it autographed with a white pen. Maybe mail two to their producers, one framed as a present to them, asking for an autograph on the other?
She handled it great and yeah, heart in the right place I'm sure. I have a resting bitch face even when I'm having fun + anxiety, I would either murder someone if they did that to me with strength of mind alone or die of embarasrment. Or both.
I saw them in a bar in Windsor and of the hundreds of live shows I've seen, that one stands out as the best. Seeing a band like Disturbed in a small venue was fucking incredible.
As far as just the music goes, the best live performers I've seen where Rage against the Machine, just flawless in their playing, The worst was White Zombie, fun show but Rob couldn't finish a single line without running out of breath.
Not a huge Disturbed fan, they have a few songs I enjoy, but to be honest the more I see of their lead singer being well, ... himself. I think he is a really good guy that likes people and wants everyone to enjoy themselves.
There are a few really chill, awesome people when it comes to fame. Five Finger Deatg Punch, Flogging Molly, and Rammstein come to mind. Met and hung out with all of them. Seriously awesome people. Till Lindemann, seriously awesome guy. Probably one of the best weekends ever
It’s not my type of music, but I have friends that are into heavy rock and metal and they say the bands are usually some of the nicest and most inclusive people.
They’ve come a long way since “Down with the Sickness” (I mean, it was 24 years ago). Give “A Reason to Fight” and “The Light” a listen. This genre of music – emotional power ballads by hard rock/heavy metal bands – is probably my favorite.
I laughed the first few times I heard it because I thought it was so ridiculous, especially because of his voice. I call these deep throaty voices 'eating a sammich voice' (because it always sounds like they have a mouthful of food while singing) BUT after hearing it a few more times I realized just how good it actually is, and how he slowly builds up to the graspy growly shouty voice. It is a damn well impressive cover indeed but damn, he's got some pipes!
ITs one of the few times I've actually enjoyed a cover so much more than an original. The way the lyrics are, the song itself lends to being pretty depressing, but the original S&G version was all folksy and upbeat, and it was very similar to Pump Up Kicks. It was a depressing and melancholy song made by the wrong band. Disturbed, I feel, did it justice.
Idk if I'd go that far, but to each their own. Disturbed version is definitely a fitting and solid take - my Dad likes it more than S&G. My only defense of the original as still being better is their famous vocal harmonies being on full display and while the instrumental is folksy, the vocals are haunting.
Completely agree with you - I also think there is an argument to be made for the lyrics and melody to be contrasting each other, resulting in a very haunting song
Careless whispers by Seether, Behind blue eyes by limp bizkit, Simple man by Shinedown. The house of the rising sun by the Animals. I prefer over Originals
Most of those, I prefer the original. Especially with behind blue eyes. Don't get me wrong, most of them are good, some are even equal to original, thinking of Shinedown and it's version of Simple Man. But I think most of them, the original is better.
Went to a concert venue often enough the bouncers recognized me. Went to the venue the wrong night expecting an Iron Maiden tribute band. Bouncer told me this probably wasn't my type of show but let me in for free to see of I'd enjoy it. It was Mexican death metal and a lot of fun.
I've often wondered what it would be like to see these guys streaming slowly through a jungle at night with just a few torches lighting them. First the drums, then the steps, then the faces in the darkness, then they pass smoothly around the trees and the watchers; their empty eye sockets piercing, rooting you in place until they pass into the gloom
There's a subtle tension building... we're all out here for a reason, but the drums wash over us like fog in a dream. There is purpose but it drifts below the level of conscious thought, overwhelmed by the rhythm and the scent of life on the breeze. For now. As one, we turn and follow, darkness retreating before our eyes even as the muted woodsmoke rises ever sharper, carrying new undertones. Whether dread or anticipation, who can say.
The trees thin even as the underbrush thickens, vines threatening to catch and trip yet somehow never quite in the wrong place. Perhaps the sun has sated them earlier today and they've no need of a meal in the dark. A deep red glow flickers over the faint edges of the Drummers' faces, not far ahead now waits the clearing. We are washed by a soft wave of sound, too complex to unravel into words, yet it seems to plead and rejoice and babble in equal measure. We arrive.

I saw these dudes live once, wasn't there to see them, but I gotta say they put on a damn good show.
delusionaldaydreams
I saw in October of 2000 at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion and they were one of the best acts.
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
They're super fun. They came out in the Era of a ton of really good metal bands and I think they caught a lot of flack for being more pop/nu metal.
KleineArsloch
"I saw these dudes live once, wasn't there to see them" Well this is awkward.
mephiston
they mean they were there to see someone else and disturbed were opening.

Fair enough. My bad.

I saw them live once, and their sound stopped working in the middle of a few songs, but their monitors were working so they didnt realise.
ImAnActionBirb
Did they continue with the sound of silence…??

Very good. Honestly, they kept playing into the next song, then stopped after all the boos, then finally got it all fixed and everyone cheered.

I've seen hundreds of bands. Disturbed is by far one of the best live performers. Pantera in 2000 was the worst.

Also pantera is racist pretty sure their lead singer did a nazi salute at a concert and now have a hard time getting venues

As far as just the music goes, the best live performers I've seen where Rage against the Machine, just flawless in their playing, The worst was White Zombie, fun show but Rob couldn't finish a single line without running out of breath.

Generally I would agree, but I was not a fan of how he tried to beef with Trevor Noah over a joke he found offensive.

I've only ever went to one concert, and only to see them. It was worth the 3 week headache that resulted.

I hope someday he finds his way to condemning Likud’s attempts at genocide someday. He’s been pretty supportive of them lately.

Watch the Conan live one, it's better than the official

Rule for covers of songs, they either have to be better than the original, or very different than the original. Or both.
This is I like their sound of silence version, and Johnathan Coultons Baby got Back.
