Disturbed's David Draiman - Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction? (Part 1)

[@kingmarvelous4421]

You know, for a guy with such a loud, awesome, battle-cry kind of singing voice, he is surprisingly soft spoken

[@themadwarrior718]

Yep.

[@danielobrien1137]

[@Leftylobber]

I met David when I was 16 in 2005 and he grabbed me by the collar and dragged me to the front of the line to sign autographs with the band, gave me a signed album. I got to shake their hands, and Draiman gave me a great big hug and stared me straight in the eye and said "I appreciate you as a fan, be good to people, be good to yourself"

[@thrashertrash7331]

David's best quality, besides his powerful singing voice, is his honesty.

[@jamesedleymusic]

He’s very well-spoken and intelligent too.

[@Loriwiar]

Absolutely. That soul is his voice...!

[@jfreakzach]

This yes. But it takes a real man to own up to his mistakes. To let people know that you can grow from it and do better for yourself. Anyone can do it. 👍

[@shardinhand1243]

one motivation for honesty is a lack of ego.

[@iSiberianHusky]

*HA!!!!!!* His honesty. Good one! If his nose grew an inch for every time he's lied about his use of Auto-Tune, that massive pointy schnoz would extend from Earth all the way to the farthest galaxy. It would be so far away, even William Shatner and his raggedy toupee and Scotty's most powerful engines would be unable to travel the distance necessary to explore it.

[@davidnissim589]

Am I the only one who noticed how he seems rather nervous and soft-spoken in person? This is the guy with one of the most powerful voices in metal.

[@MrJtin69]

Sorry to burst your bubble with some friends who our audio engineers and technical advisors every live mic can be tuned and added effect there's plenty video out their about it but with that being said it takes someone with an amazing voice to only need slight touches and effects added to provide a show he is amazing frontman and singer but he does have his mic tuned like everyone but it's part of the performance so it's not a knock against them just know when you see Broadway now that's true performances and talent singing

Because if you were referring to the latter, one could ONLY expect that it was YOU that originally threw the weight. THAT'S what I am talking about.... since you needed it specifically spelled out.

I know my comment is way late, but have you thought about noise canceling headphones? I’m autistic too and I use them to help me at work and when I’m in loud places. They might help your kid, too, if you’re interested. And if you plan on taking them to a concert, I’d recommend staying near the edge of the crowd so if they get too overwhelmed they can get out for a sec and take a break. I hope this helps. :)

@@Umbra_Magna777 Great idea. I have ADHD and a strong sensitivity to sound as well. There is a product from a company I think is called Loop. It's an earbud that cuts out the higher frequency noises, which I find the most overwhelming. Is there a certain register that is harder to handle? If so, there may be a product that would assist.

My son lives with Autism and went to his first big metal show (Black Label Society) a couple of months ago. He wore headphones and we gradually introduced him to the loudness of shows by seeing local bands perform. I hope your kiddo is able to enjoy a show soon. 💜

[@Sabatonrex]

I have adhd and autism, and I know that both adhd and autism is a spectrum, for loud music always has been my free comfy zone/space. And going to concerts has been very fun and very mening full for me to go to on another level mening full for me to do. So if you're son really have a favorite band ask him if he can consider to go and watch them or maybe stand somewhere outside the concert area and just listen. It might be great for him

"The Sound of Silence" as sung by Disturbed is so beautiful. The best rendition by Disturbed is featured on Conan. And at my age (old as dirt), listening to some of this band's songs drives me crazy. However, "The Light" and "The Sound of Silence" give me goosebumps!

[@elizevaneeden2000]

This was really the first very honest interview that I have seen. So glad that David's life has turned around in such a good way. Big fan of Disturbed.

I truly feel David will be noted as the best singing voice and video in history with the Sound Of Silence. It's brilliant. That's my opinion anyway. I could listen to that song all day long. Truly remarkable capture of the song.

David Draiman has become probably my favorite singer in rock and roll in the last couple of decades. I grew up on Duran Duran, Journey, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, Rush, U2. What they were for me back in the 70's and 80's, this guy and Disturbed are for me in the last couple decades. Thank you, Graham, and Loudwire, for this video. Keep up the great work!

[@caseythompson474]

I love this guy! I read somewhere that Disturbed’s performance of Sound Of Silence that was on the Jimmy Kimmel show won an award for the best live performance. Not many could win an award for playing a late night talk show. It’s one of the few covers that are just as good as the original. Gives me chills!
