Disturbed's David Draiman on State of Rock + 'Immortalized' Album

[@snailman4395]

"The only way you get to appreciate the darkness is by contrasting it with light." -David Draiman, 2015

[@lighter9611]

true

[@Irishpride4774]

+Snail Man i think bob ross said something familiar too.

[@ZeroRegen]

It's always great to see interviews with Draiman. He's both intelligent and a great artist and it's always a treat getting to hear him speak about the new material. I think Immortalized is indeed next level Disturbed, and the tour & the album the succeeds Immortalized is very exciting to think about.

[@kalebpost20]

David Draiman is one of my favorite people in all of the music industry!! Awesome singer in an even more amazing band!

[@dlzrdldy29]

David Draiman...I know the words to sounds of silence. I could write them down verbatim. NEVER in my 53 years have I heard them in this manner. Youve shown me those lyrics in a way that was so insanely powerful, that I got CHILLS first, then I couldnt stop crying and excuse this part--snotting all over the place for at least an hour. Impressed doesnt even begin to cover the emotion. Thank you.

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

I love his answers, specially to the first question.

[@Supaboy000]

+Cesar “Isaac” Perez "At the end of the day I don't give a fuck." Haha xD I love David!

[@Anaescence10]

Rock is not dead!! Its alive and healthy. I love how David state it. No one couldve said it better.

[@lighter9611]

rock is kind of dead I mean rock is kind of old school stuff on the other hand metal is still alive

[@ImaWreckU]

Metal and Hard Rock tours bring in the money because the only music worth being played loud for the crowd IS Rock and Metal. No other genre of music can even come close to the energy of Rock and Metal. played live.

[@mattgarbarinofitness]

I love Draiman. He really is one of my favorite singers. Not a hint of ego, just a real nice dude

[@brennenpoffenroth4196]

+Retro - A.K.A retromodngmr102 Well, he's very upfront with his worldview and is a "take it or leave it" kind of guy, so some lightskinned people will take that for arrogance

[@mattgarbarinofitness]

Bob Cuntsmash I agree

[@Cartman8402]

@@brennenpoffenroth4196 Only light skinned pussies will take it as arrogant.

[@davidfellner1119]

"We're gonna keep roaring back" that is a great line right there

[@TheRealSandman]

Got the album for my birthday, can't wait to listen!

[@CaptainCJ97]

+Night Of Reckoning nice

[@jamesmurphysofar1803]

Rock can't die as long as one fan still listens to a rock band rock will live and even then it will always be there

[@tadhggoreyoneill13666]

I have the utmost respect for David Draiman. Great guy and would be honored to meet him if I could

[@NueVoLB]

you should do a remember dimebag episode with disturbed, since they were the ones arranging a charity concert after his death.

[@NueVoLB]

and btw Rock/Metal isn't dead, Kiss is.

[@eviltoad746]

+NueVo1st Gene Simmons has the issue of saying the wrong thing and then not knowing to shut his mouth.

[@CaptainCJ97]

NueVo1st OH!!!

[@superboyrecordings]

hey whatsup this is howie mandel from disturbed

[@28jander]

Lol

[@aprilicenhower3134]

David Draiman is such an amazing person who I admire and adore. One of my favorite people ever! DISTURBED ONES! ❤️

"nothing is over until we say it is" that says it all :D :D

[@SleepFan771]

I am not a Disturbed fan anymore, but THANK FUCK David has said this publicly. Rock & Metal are NOT dead or dying!

[@Viruz32]

+Ocean Sage why aren't you a fan anymore?

[@SleepFan771]

***** I just got tired of how same-y a lot of their music sounds to me. I got heavy into other bands and genres too.

[@MrMrcyborg]

Ocean Sage What are you talking about? Disturbed is one of those bands that get better and better every album they make.Disturbed is one of the best these days.

[@DanishThePenguin]

+Ocean Sage A fair point, I think. I certainly noticed that a lot of their songs do have an overly similar feel. Personally, it's the exact style I love listening to more than anything else so I can overlook it. At least in no longer being a fan, you haven't instead started declaring that they suck or something.

[@taylor021901]

Ocean Sage hey man, it could be worse. they could Nickleback. and actually, a lot of Disturbed's music isn't so much alike as people say it is. how is Down With the Sickness like Stricken. how is Prayer like Inside the Fire how is Stupify like The Night how is Voices like Enough how is The Animal like The Vengeful One how is Hell like the Sound of Silence

[@tatsntoos1313]

Rock will never die!! transforms at times but never dies!

[@yvesheinrich5013]

+lynn price Exactly! Genres pops up here and there but that's just for the innovation and keeping it alive!

[@drylooped]

Dear Mr Simmons; With groups like Disturbed, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Five Finger Death Punch still going strong. How The hell do you declare "rock dead"? The Light will be my funeral dirge if I have anything to say about it. As it sums up life in a nutshell.

[@martok2112]

Solid, stand-up, well spoken, intelligent individual. And my favorite singer out of the last couple of decades. I remember I used to think rock is dead with the likes of Nirvana having taken over the airwaves. When I was growing up listening to Duran Duran, The Police/Sting, Journey, Rush, U2, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Bad Company, Whitesnake, Van Halen, Robert Plant, ....that was my rock and roll. Disturbed have restored my faith that rock and roll is alive and well.

[@Luciferi4n]

Of course David,but not just the songs,you as a person give us the inspiration to be better people and treat our fellow man the way they are supposed to be.For which I thank you from the bottom of my heart

[@alexanderbob22]

Not a Disturbed fan but he spoke very well

[@Findingmyway1122]

I think loud wire asks the best questions out of anyone else besides a few such as scuzz meets etc

[@Jack-nd8xn]

The album looks great!

[@pureplays6302]

There are new heavy metal/rock bands that tell me that rock isn't dead. Rock and metal will continue to thrive, as well as rap and pop. Other genres will never top the adrenaline rush you get from a rock or metal live concert

[@rustycaplinger8804]

Wow, he's right. 100% he is a very smart man and I think we need to listen to him a bit more.

[@Superman_305]

As long as metallica, disturbed, AC/DC, and iron maiden are still around rock will never die and David draiman made a good point overseas have the most popular heavy metal fan base and that's why rock and heavy metal will never die as long as there are people willing to buy and listen to rock and heavy metal music then rock and heavy metal bands are going to keep on making music for their fans to listen to and enjoy in the words of AC/DC rock and roll will never die 🤘🤘

[@tailorslow7917]

This guy can be a spokesperson for anyone👏👏👏

[@thefreebird413]

Rock will never die!!!! Disturbed1 for life!

[@josem.castorena4853]

People make their own destinies. That's so true.

[@libertyprime2928]

1:20 hell even nonpoint will tell you that any rock or metal band is still alive and kickin

[@spark300c]

I think the problem is darker and more aggressive rock over shadows the upbeat fast pace rock. in 1950s rock and roll was quite upbeat.

[@12345678927164]

I 100% agreed with this man.

[@ethanaldridge3729]

"At the end of the day, I don't give a fuck." Love it.

Anyone got a link for the articles he spoke about?

[@guitarFlownimo]

I like this Guy !!

[@MekaGoji]

In the future pop, rap, will probably beat my favorite genres metal and hard rock I hope pop and rap don't beat metal and hard rock if it does shot me now. But let metal and hard rock rule forever I hope.

[@smokerain8992]

what exactly do you mean "beat my favorite genre metal", pop and rap is not even close to Metal, Metal and Rock is at the top and will be in the future, just look at how famous some metal and rock bands are these days and also look at spotify's report on metal

[@danielgibeault8060]

He's like the Liam neeson of metal with the way he talks

[@superboyrecordings]

the kids will bring it back

[@junpaangho6038]

just because something is not appreciated by the majority doesn't mean that it's dead. there will always be people who are crazy about rock & metal, there are always people who go against the majority & have their own things & do what they love. let the majority fuck with pop & hip hop while we can have less pollution from those fucking pop stars & really make good music & continue the music's spirit!

I'm really sad this will never happen now Disturbed feat Chester bennington

HOW U DISLIKE?

*quotes a porche commercial

[@jakeskall7114]

I'm a huge Disturbed fan (listening to them for 7 now), buuuuuut i have to say... David, what the FUCK is Immortalized? You and your band have been making in my ears the best music of all time, but Immortalized is just shit as a whole. Open your Eyes and What are you waiting for are fine. Maybe even The Vengeful One, but the seen as a whole it is your worst album. Some might argue, that you gotta see that subjectively and that it is a good album, because you tried out something new. But in fact just look at Device. You wanted to try something else, but you did the same thing in Device as you did in Disturbed and it is great, I love it. So I appreciate new ideas and shit and I don't have to like every song you put in an album, but you should watch out, that it is good as a whole, if that makes any scence. God bless you David, love you and see ya Uh-Ah-Ah-Ah

[@RedNinja22l2]

At least the rock/metal community and press are staying away from any GamerGate-esque "_____ is dead!" proclamations. I don't need any more nihilistic shit in y life, especially about the things I love dearly.

very clever man

[@РусланАдамов-и2п]

Да все рок-музыканты, которые добираются до больших сцен, в какой-то момент говорят, что рок сдох. Но это не рок сдох, а для этих музыкантов кончились их вершины, до которых они шли. Или порох, или шило в заднице. И вот они уже не в моде, поганая молодёжь пляшет шибче, орёт громче и всё более кривые и страшные рожи и голее тела показывает - и старые динозавры хотят задрать на это ногу и обесценить молодое поколение)

[@joemomma7148]

Looks on tour now KISS. Must be running out of money. Disturbed is a way better band. KISS just put on a good show but no real talent

[@CherylGross12]

If rock is dead, you are the defibbulator lol.
