I feel a way now!! Disturbed "Down with the Sickness" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@DustyBelew]

That may have been the most honest reaction I've ever seen from anyone - When Asia heard the refrain about abuse, specifically when the singer's character started fighting back. BJ is still grooving and Asia is just staring open-mouthed at the screen. Exactly what the band was going for. Excellent reaction video.

[@jeremyw.norwood1453]

Yeah, the harsh realities of this world; can only provide one with the evidence that true horror is nothing more than what the most unimaginably depraved & vile aspects(that are all too often on full display, in those most unfortunate individuals amongst us) of the human experience truly consists of. It isn't even remotely pretty, it isn't something which any of us wish to have to consider or ponder; yet it is, and most depressingly so, simply what these unlucky wretched souls have experienced throughout the entirety of the lives they have been given... Personally, I just cannot fathom how such a despairing level of abject torment & utter hopelessness would feel... but it certainly doesn't look like it is a psychological scaring which could ever be easily overcome; or even a thing that could be long tolerated before it would induce a real psychotic break in it's victim... which will lead to them unleashing all of that built-up psychological torment & emotional pain upon any & all of the innocent people whom were unlucky enough to have been within their striking distance at that specific horrifically momentous moment of their breaking! Thus the unknown factors behind many a mass shooting, or insane "hostage taker & police standoff" type of incident which we have all seen are clearly just occurring more & more often over these most recent few decades... damn. There are so very many parents whom should never have become parents... totally self-serving, with wholly selfish motivations; and an uncaring, unloving, unconcerned, unthinking, un-empathetic, unfeeling, & ultimately just inherently irredeemably irresponsible to the point of being completely indifferent, neglectful, and unfathomably cruelly abusive... there are monsters raising innocents... and it can absolutely turn those poor innocents into future monsters themselves... Unfortunately, this type of cyclical abuse pattern in the familial settings is just an inevitable form of societal dysfunction; & it is one which has always been endemic to humanity's experiences, since the very beginnings of our tribal & societal formations... it is one of the harsh realities of existence; and it is just another form of darwinian filtering; necessary for separating out the weak "chaff" from those possessing the requisite strength of character... those innate genetic traits which grant them the necessary strength of will, & emotional endurance, which shall enable them to have a better chance at perseverance over such truly daunting & terribly adverse familial conditions... All of it can be such depressingly sad facts of this life for so many; & yet, just objectively speaking, it is clearly juat a simple fact of life for some experiencing this world's more harsh conditions... it is that way for all too many of those folks we all share this world with everyday y'all... so maybe take this into consideration the next time you see someone out there whom seems on the verge of snapping... it can absolutely all suddenly turn into a true horror show; and this kind of sudden transformation of your world into something like that out of horror movie ~ an utter slaughterhouse of carnage, leaving only a bloody hellscapes of death & destruction... that is actually something which can occur in the blink of an eye.

TL:DR & all that jazz, ya know... Ha. Heh, Jesus, WTAF man? Are you actually being for real my man!?? I mean true enough, this entire illogical idiocy of how folks today are so wilfully ignorant, it would probably be absolutely hilarious to me too... That is, if it weren't so very pathetic & embarrassing. The vast majority of fools in this day & age are just objectively such pitifully incapable, weak-willed, & irredeemably ignorant fools; that they are now little more than easy prey for the corrupted elites... The general public in America has become so hopelessly lazy, thin skinned, & misinformed as for them to have literally become nothing more than pansy-ass, weak-willed fools; in other words they've all become clueless marks & easy pickings. A majority of Americans today are so complacent & compliant that they have effectively been rendered into unquestioning sheep; proletarian scum whom are basically just absolutely & utterly worthless... On top of all that, they are also the biggest damned pansy-ass, psychologically fragile, & self-entitled bratty twats I have ever even imagined possible. A total lack of Intellectual curiosity, & a mentality of utter laziness are precisely some of the reasons why, just objectively speaking, a vast majority of my fellow American citizens are uninformed, uneducated, & wholly unenlightened... So, pretty much just abject imbeciles, there is simply no widespread understanding or knowledge of the basics: scientific methodology, mathematical theory, proper english & classical literature, world history & historical accounts, artistic design, or even current geopolitical events... What is there of any real substance in any of the shallow meaningless "academic teachings" which are being passed off as an actual higher learning education; what does it even take to be seen as being "knowledgeable" these days man. Very little. Today's population tend to know nothing precisely because they are generally so spoiled that they cannot ever be bothered to even actually read anything which has more than three sentences to it... This shit is all just so pitifully sad. Hell man, "pathetic losers" doesn't even come close to adequately describing just how low so damned much of this country's populace has truly allowed themselves to sink: Weak-willed fools, ignorantly small-minded, arrogantly misinformed, stubbornly misguided, wilfully ignorant... Basically, that would accurately describe around 80% of my fellow Americans currently; that is, insofar as I've bothered to discern anything about this matter anyway... This conclusion is clearly only veing based upon my own anecdotal observations though... So here's to hoping that I am just terribly mistaken about all of this! So I guess y'all can be "clever"... and reply with that sarcastically derivative [TL:DR] type of bullshit all ya want... for, honestly, that type of stupidity shall only make it all that much easier for those in power to readily identify the truly irrelevant individuals amongst the overall general population.

[@RaduRadonys]

It doesn't matter. It can be interpreted both ways. Many ways. That's what matters.

[@Z-one1000]

​@@RaduRadonys It DOES matter when it causes people to have misconceptions about the artist or the artist's family. I'll be the first to agree that any song (like any other work of art) is not limited to only one point of view or interpretation (that's the reason why art is so beautiful and diverse). If I hear a song or look at a painting or read a novel that makes me feel one way or another, I also know that those feelings are my own and I don't try to project them onto others. In this case the band even explained the metaphorical intention behind the lyrics. Does that mean people can't find a personal meaning to the song? Of course they can. Just remember that your personal interpretation is just that....personal.

[@Dyrtbag68]

People are gonna take it how it makes them feel but Taylor is right, David said the same thing in an interview about what the song was about but wasnt surprised people would interpret it different from the original reasoning for the song. Now songs like "Daddy" from Korn have no way of being mistaken what they're about.

[@shyboy022]

Still no talk about the mother's roll in this song. Because I think it says a lot about the issues with single moms. Which abuse their kids more often than single father's.

[@purtexan1461]

This song fully describes my childhood and how I was raised by women. My own mother neglected and abandoned me at a young age. My step mother abused me physically and mentally for over 10 years before I finally retaliated. Didn't kill her but did hit her back. I've been messed up my whole life and feel relieved a band put into words something I never could. Child abuse is real people and didn't want my kids to go through same as me but they did as well by their own mother. I was able to save them from enduring as long as I did but regret they went through it at all

One of the best concerts I ever went to was Disturbed, the band was on point, the crowd was on fire, and considering I was a single 17-year-old female at the it was one of the best crowds in terms of safety and felling comfortable on my own. Most of the rock concerts I went to were great in terms of safety; actually, I never felt uncomfortable if I got separated from friends at rock venues. One of the great aspects of the culture. Y'all should listen to their Sound of Silence cover, Ten Thousand Fists, Stupid, and Land of Confusion.

@Harry Treakle... I agree! THE LIGHT is an amazing song of hope, faith and perseverance! A little bit of Draiman's religious background bleeds through!

When they started out David Draiman use to come out in a straight jacket and was electrocuted in a electric chair. Song is completely a metaphor. It is about how "mother society" beats its "children" into submission. It is a straight out attack on comformity ("the Sickness").

I love how music brings people together. No music is for one type of person, one race etc Good music is good music just vocalized differently. I listen to mostly Christian music and hard rock/alternative 🤷🏻‍♀️ and I love Motown and 80s/90s R&B. It’s about the feeling you get and anything with a good beat I’m all about it.

The first part is what I show everyone else, the "I'm fine, I'm normal" face and the lyrics discussing abuse represent the anger, pain and fear I never showed anyone else.

Definitely lots of other songs to check out by Disturbed. "Stupify" and "Inside the Fire", and "10,000 Fists" are great songs. Check out their covers" The Sound of Silence" originally by Simon and Garfunkel, Land of Confusion, by Genesis, an excellent video as well, Shout2000, by Tear for Fears, If I ever Lose my Faith, by Sting, and Living After Midnight, by Judas Priest.

I love y'alls authentic reaction to the realization of exactly what that song was about when y'all heard the words that gave it away. But what I think y'all missed was the fact that it WAS actually a GIFT that was given to him. Think about this: he was abused in ways that are indescribable. However, the gift that was given to him is what he turned the abuse into. He took all that abuse, all that hate, all that violence, and turned it into something that millions could enjoy as a positive attribute in their lives. A relatable circumstance, a common ground, a reason to gather and celebrate together in love and harmony. He didn't allow that demon to bring him down. Instead, he used it to lift others up. And that is The Sickness.

Asia you should have seen the look on your face... BJ, you truly surprised me. Your assessment was spot on. That was the first time you got it right from the start. Your observations and commentary was concise and accurate as pertaining to the artists intent. Congratulations.

Subbed cause you both are awesome 😁 and you seem to get at least how I interpret the song. Amazing

[@johan.ohgren]

there´s also "that" song with Korn that does actually speak of actual abuse from a first person perspective. That is a song that hits hard. Take that mommy part of this song and multiply and you get the idea. Do it if you like, but be aware, it´s a real song about real abuse.

Great reaction you two. Keep up the great work. 👍

They have many great songs

check out the Sound of Silence cover - both the official video and the live performance on Conan - you may not recognize that it is the same band

I was in high school when both disturbed and slipknot came out around the same time and first time i heard disturbed it just spoke to me but just couldn't get into slipknot, it's kinda like the pantera versus slayer battle a decade earlier got to pick your metal and stick with it.

It's a Song that speaks out against child abuse.... Nice Reaction

One of my favorite workout songs.

[@macalcord]

One of the best opening EVER! I could be in church and if that song came on its on!

[@nebidiaswift5200]

Great reaction I’m not sure if I’ve seen BJ vibe so much! Every now and then this song vibes well but I always switch it when the interlude between his mother comes in it’s just changes the vibe for me

Thanks for your views on this. The Game is another great song of theirs from that album
