MY WIFE TEACHES ME DISTURBED RIFFS...

She's got a type.

[@DroneCorpse]

LMAO💀

[@zactogepi6824]

Dan Donegan is criminally underrated, his riffage is awesome

[@MathewJC25]

10000% one of the greatest guitarist out there.

Claine is literally so down with the sickness

[@realblakrawb]

She will be the nu metal historian we need.

she is also down with the thiccness 🙏

Dammit Claine!

[@eee_d888]

Hey Dean and Claire would you ever do 4 levels of death metal with dying fetus? They're one of my favourite death metal bands and I would love for you two to play some of their riffs.

[@i_like_blast_beats]

You got the Dean stamp of approval.. I hope we'll see this video soon too!

[@davidzeager262]

If they had a vocalist who was worth listening to

[@DarthKotEI]

This is the happiest episode of this series easily. The nostalgia and excitement from both of you was so great. ❤❤❤

[@espawna]

Had no idea these riffs would be so catchy and surprisingly technical. Almost as good as bizkit

[@bellowick]

Disturbed are so underrated in terms of technicality. I play rocksmith from time to time (great when you just want to play your favourite songs without dedicating days without perfecting it), tried some of Disturbed songs and had to focus really hard and practice some of the riffs for a few of them. Probably gonna get hate for saying this, but these riffs give me the same desire to just play riffs all day as Killswitch Engage and Deftones do.

[@phoenixzappa7366]

Limp bizkit?

[@picarellileo]

actually, bizkit riffs are waaaaaay more easier than disturbed's

[@Patrick-857]

Shhhh the elitists are coming......

[@newme1589]

Limp bizkit drums and bass are actually quite more technical than you would think

[@StephenChapman]

Their album "Believe" is chock full of awesome riffs and soaring, melodic choruses. That riff y'all played from "Prayer" is a great example of Dan's unique approach to riffing!

[@DEADLINETV]

I love how Claine is pounding the downstrokes in Prayer and Dean is half-assing that riff with ups and downs...

[@Patrick-857]

​@MKBoricuaIt's important to remember that it's music, not gymnastics. Easy riffs are sometimes the best riffs.

[@Patrick-857]

@MKBoricua It's not really subjective to state that technicality and how difficult a piece is to play has no connection with it's musicality.

[@Patrick-857]

@MKBoricua Clearly you miss my point, which is a general one, not specific to these particular riffs. You sound like a snob. Some of the simplest music is also the greatest music. Making something complicated for the sake of it is easy, if you have a decent amount of technique. Writing something simple that is memorable, exciting, and stands the test of time, that's hard. That takes exceptional talent. Technically proficient players are a dime a dozen these days, and for the most part their music is exceptionally boring and uninspired. But a single note from David Gilmour or Mark Knopfler, that's something. I'd rather listen to the extremely basic riffs of Sad But True by Metallica, than most of this stuff. I love Tool because their music isn't complex for the sake of it, it's complexity that serves a purpose and sounds good. It takes you on a journey. Smoke on the Water is stupidly simple, yet I never got bored hearing it. Same with Seven Nation Army. I like all kinds of crazy stuff, as well as popular stuff, and I can say without any doubt, that music being hard to play does not correlate with it being good music. The two things are independent of each other. That's a fact. Also, snobbery isn't cool. Rock n roll has roots in folk music. Folk music is supposed to be simple, so that it can be passed on through an oral tradition, and enjoyed by anyone. Classical was the opposite of this and very much filled with clsssicism and snobbery, but even then the best classical music, that has stood the test of time has an element of catchy simplicity to it.

[@Patrick-857]

@MKBoricua Those are just examples. And while that is of course my subjective taste, these songs are far more popular than any of the music that's technical for the sake of it. You're focusing on those throwaway examples though, once again ignoring my core argument, which is that there's no correlation between how good a piece is, and how difficult it is to play. That's a factual statement on my part, and I stand by it. I'll die on that hill, because music isn't supposed to be a competition, or an ego trip. It's not supposed to be about showing off technical skill, or anything like that. You come of as a condescending snob, an elitist, and you insulting me and calling me "simple minded" really shows that. Also at no point did I say I disliked complex and technically challenging music. It's just when it's painfully obvious that the technicality is all it has to offer that I've got a problem with it. There's nothing wrong with complexity or simplicity. If it's good music, that's all that matters. If "caveman riffs" serve the song, if they get the crowd jumping, if they are fun to listen to, if they convey the feelings of the artist well, then that's all that matters. Your argument is painfully dumb, and yet so common, especially in the metal community. It's like you forgot that it's meant to be music.

[@Patrick-857]

@MKBoricua OK so you're telling me that technical = good then? Just to be sure.

[@Jopeymessmusic]

"Stricken" also has a great solo! I remember learning disturbed riffs years ago when those albums came out and I was just a wain. Good times. Honestly pretty good practice shit along with all the Nevermore and Megadeth stuff I was also playing at the same time! Ha ha ha.

[@lestatt6996]

So glad you guys are back home safe, stay brutal, see you in Osaka Dean 🤘🤘🤘

The riffs and singing on their second album Believe is so damn underrated, disturbed listened to in the background while gaming is what got me to listen a lot closer, some good ass jams in there

[@johnjackson1270]

Love your videos!! Keep em coming!

[@StormLightArchitect]

Really cool and fun light hearted episode. A lot of fun to watch. I always respected Disturbed guitar tone, a guilty pleasure for certain.

[@SOMEBODYGETASPONGE]

Disturbed has been a firm feature of my last week... It's like you got inside my head and delivered this video! I'm almost 40 and Disturbed was a big feature of my existence over 2 decades ago 😆 Guilty pleasure.

Stricken always made me chuckle when I saw it, as stricken (written exactly the same) means knitting in German and the first thing that always came to mind was a knitting grandma.

Of COURSE "Stupify." Because Goku catching Slug's fist to the opening of that song still gives me goosebumps. And I'm 30. Well done, folks! I enjoy Dan's guitar style. He is unique and identifiable. Great player.

Disturbed may be cheesy by most standards but, ngl Dan Donegan’s riffs are pretty gnarly and have a fun groove to play

[@The_Tarmaster]

Asylum is a fantastic Disturbed album. They just got overplayed on the radio

[@justinroth3174]

Can’t even lie. Disturbed has written some great songs. I was waiting for The Vengeful One. Pretty cool riffing in that one.

[@JearBear1138]

Disturbed is so good! The Night is my favorite song from them.

[@Behdad47]

My favorite song of Disturbed is Decadence. Reason? NFS Most Wanted. This game introduced me to the metal scene when I was 9 and I'm more than happy that it did.

[@Bellathor]

The first 4 albums: "The Sickness", "Believe", "Ten Thousand Fists", "Indestructible" are all great albums. After that it's hit and miss for me. Some great songs but mostly meh albums from what I can remember. I plan on giving them another listen again soon.

[@davidbridges9754]

Is that the number one thing you miss?? Well it’s number two…. LOL god I love y’all

I'm not a Disturbed fan or anything, but their mascot that they've adopted looks pretty cool! The monster guy thing is a bit deceiving, though, because it kinda sets the expectation that the music is a bit more monstrous or dangerous than it actually is, but it still looks pretty darn cool, bud!
