Disturbed's uncertain future 2011-08-01 by taylormemer | 130 Comments



In the interview, he explains that the hiatus is not as a result of "any animosity" amongst the band members (rather the contrary) and is instead as a consequence of personal reasons and commitments, and the "demise of hard rock and metal." He further adds "The [music] industry is still in a state of reformation; it is on the verge of collapse, in my opinion."



In response to the future of the band, Draiman showed uncertainty saying "We don't know. I can't definitely tell you at this point one way or another.", but went onto say that it the band isn't "dropping off the face of the Earth."

Distrubed sucks





*sucked.





"demise of hard rock and metal."



lol



Digging: RMR - DRUG DEALING IS A LOST ART

demise of hard rock and metal





good riddance





"demise of hard rock and metal."



That they contributed to.





they are causing that very same collapse



Digging: Cloudkicker - Solitude

I always thought this band was indestructible.





lolol n1.





lol at the first comment following the interview



"There is hardly any money in it w/o massive tours. Especially for the REAL rock genre."



disturbed=/= real rock





I like Disturbed, they're nothing earth shattering but the songs are enjoyable and theyre good live. I do agree that it's time for them to step away though. Give bands like asking alexandria more spotlight (sarcasm)



Digging: Saosin - Along the Shadow

Any band that repeatedly gets platinum certification for what amounts to the exact same album year after year loses their right to bitch and moan about the state of the music industry.





SAVE THE MUSIC INDUSTRY DISTURBED WITH TRUE HARD ROCK AND HEAVY MTEAL!!!





please plese god just please make disturbed go away.



Honestly I cant even begin at how happy I am. but if they really cared about the fans they wouldnt have said what they said and they are obviously making music for the $$$$





"The [music] industry is still in a state of reformation; it is on the verge of collapse, in my opinion."

oh my, what a tragedy would be.





^^^ lol nice dig asshole ^^^





Guys this can't happen. We got to Believe





"That they contributed to."



This, so much.





Disturbed was a descent band for a while but Asylum sounded like they just packed it in. Good thing they are taking a break from music. Maybe when they come back, if they come back, they will have a whole new sound. Hard rock and metal are not dying and neither is the music industry. They just need to realize that numetal died years ago.





Disturbed was a descent band for a while



DESCENT JUN JUN JUNJUNJUN





They just need to get some asylum from the public for a while.





more than one thing wrong with that sentence amirite





i used ot be a fan of nu-metal : ( but really was numetal ever that good?





urrite





Duderino's uncertain future





this band is the reason i started downloading cds





My mom met David Draiman last night



Digging: Gorephilia - In The Eye Of Nothing

^^ That last part about the music video is great





I'm lolling so hard at this entire page. Fuck Disturbed.





2011 just keeps getting better.





ooo WA AH AH AH





AWK AWK



AWK AWK



MMNAH AH MMNAH AH





The sickness is still rules





Maybe they're all just down with the sickness





bah wit da bah da bang da dang





oh god why did I have to read this before going to bed now I'm not going to be able to sleep knowing all is not right with Disturbed. One might even say that they're a bit... disturbed.





i bet these guys were gonna use music as a weapon





The funny part is Dillinger calling Disturbed a bad band.





that's mildly amusing i suppose, but dep seem like massive chodes





I prefer GWAR over both these bands and GWAR has better shows





i bet these guys were gonna use music as a weapon



I think they were ... fu**in dreamers





I'm not the biggest fan but they are no Disturbed.



Still found it funny that they consider themselves to be that much better though.





"There is hardly any money in it..."



Oh, so you don't make music because you enjoy it...?





This band is disturbing.





disturbed be dropping plates on DEP





their band name was a clever foreshadow





sonic is stupified







The pun-makers here need to die





Dis-turd





we are all just stricken





please don't tell me you think dillinger is a bad band.

nah, they're just not really my cup o' tea and they seem like d-bags is all.





you're getting it sonic! you're part of the game





i think they are all quite stupified





can't believe i used to like them





lol





^

Already used today.





if their indestructible can they survive inside the fire?





ooooooooooooh dehvun





"i hate rap but i dont listen to metallica, disturbed or tool xDD i listen to suicide silence, motionless in white, iwrestledabearonce, attack attack! (US)"

:|





i'm starting to get haunted by all these puns





I guess Disturbed are out of the game.





this band is giving me the sickness





Like all their music, honestly though I thought they were taking a break just because they ran out of ideas. Being consistent can only be interesting for so long. I think this all just sounds like a dumb ass excuse to be lazy and quit trying to come up with anything new.





If they break up, all you'll see from Sputnik is Ten Thousand Fists in the air.







.............Yeeeaaaahhhh?





Oh well. I am a fan of some of their older stuff, but most of Asylum sure did suck. Hopefully, they come back in a couple years with something on the level of Believe.



Draiman should do some sort of solo thing too. Different sounding music. Always thought he had a good, unique voice when he actually sings.





Hey there, I hope no one is bashing Tool in here, lets keep it real. Don't make me put 10,000 fists up your butt!





Just stop





eww a sharks fan gross





Ewww a hockey fan more gross







"demise of hard rock and metal."



Ha! Even i this is the case, it proves Disturbed are only in it for the money. So what if it's the demise of hard rock and metal (even tho I don't believe this is true), what happened to playing cos you love it, go underground for a while and when hard rock is popular again you'll come out the otherside stronger for it.



Also a hiatus is exactly what this band needs. Might give them the time to come up with enough ideas for an album which isn't 70% filler.





Aso Tamaki - "Draiman should do some sort of solo thing too. Different sounding music. Always thought he had a good, unique voice when he actually sings."





As long as there are no 'Ooo wah ah ah ah's' in it!









In my eyes the future of Disturbed is not at all uncertain. They'll either break up, or still be shit.





Drainman should not do a solo thing, EVER.





How is this news? Who the fuck cares?



The charts have been down for 7 months





When I saw this article, it made me want to shout 2000.



idk who cares at this point.





great avatar Scoot.





masturbed.



oh yeah, I'm good.





This band is like that disrespectful prick who manages to regain consciousness and crawl towards the door again every time you think you've smothered them.





no matte what the industry looks like people won't stop making music. i know i wouldn't. what a tool.





but went onto say that it the band isn't "dropping plates on your ass bitch."







"demise of hard rock and metal"

Lol, good one. I don't know if I've passed something but metal's been goin' good lately.





Meh, I actually like Disturbed but it's good they're at least taking a break, it's not like anything they'd potentially put out would be groundbreakingly unmissable anywho





I'd appreciate it if they did fall off the face of the Earth, thanks.





So sick of them. I've been Down With the Sickness for 10 fucking years, it's time I feel better.





the demise of hard rocking nu metal is what this guy meant to say





also:



"How is this news? Who the fuck cares?



The charts have been down for 7 months" [2]







"demise of hard rock and metal."



That they contributed to. [2]



"disturbed will not go quietly into the night."

seems not sir





I am Stupefied by the decision this band is making.





^ if that was a joke I lol'd with you but if not I lol'd at you sir.





Disturbed went out famously like Nirvana, except they can return.





the "demise of hard rock and metal."

The same decline that gave these mongoloids an avenue to be popular to begin with?



"The [music] industry is still in a state of reformation; it is on the verge of collapse, in my opinion."

Quick, everyone stop making music until we can be sure we can still make money off of it



the band isn't "dropping off the face of the Earth."

Of course not. Too much potential profits from a "comeback" album. See you in two years, boys.





Fuck I hope not.





What a bunch of money-whoring bastards, they're really the Sons of Plunder. But in my opinion, they are just living in the Land of Confusion. They should Just Stop while they are Strickened by it.

daviddraimansoloalbum





97% of the posters in this thread need to die in a fire





especially you opblasskonijn, especially you





How's your scene-phase going for you?





How's your scene-phase going for you? [2]





Oh no. Good thing I don't give a shit.





So they're breaking up because they don't have enough fans?



Nu-metal has passed. They should come back in about 35 seconds with a crunkcore album if they want to make money. 35 seconds because that fad should be gone any minute now....





Ovrot be killin' it with the puns





I honestly couldn't care any less if they don't come back. :L





"the band isn't 'dropping off the face of the Earth.'"



Aww, damnit





They will be back to haunt you all





let them try ^





lol I don't think the music industry is going to collapse





consequence of personal reasons and commitments, and the "demise of hard rock and metal."



Aren't they one of the biggest contibutors to this "demise"?



Digging: Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow

Metal? Demise? What in the actual...nah, must've meant Nu Metal.





hahaahahaah his statement is hilarious !!!!





#

Rap is way better than metallica? What the fuck are you talking about? Are you like serious or just being a complete ignorant troll? Just stfu dude. Without metallica those modern metal bands wouldn't exist.

Alexander Alex Or even the older metal bands, you've got no idea buddy.



HAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA





Oh my god, I try to talk music with my new coworker some days. He talks about how the only real, "truthful" rock frontman still alive is the lead singer of Disturbed. He loves Disturbed and thinks they're hardcore metal.



Then again, I take that with a grain of salt, seeing as how he's never head of Mastodon, Cynic or Tool.





Not even a Prayer can Awaken this band from mediocrity





This is disturbing news.





Whoever posted that Facebook page...that was real disturbing stuff man (no pun intended, promise). I don't know what's sadder, Disturbed thinking metal is on some sort of catastrophic decline (that not even they can stop), or the level of close-minded stupidity on that page >.





You'd think with the big fanbase these guys have that they would embrace new, modern ways to get their music directly to the fans as opposed to blaming the "collapsing" music industry on things being hard.





i've had Enough of these song name puns!



on another note I had always hoped this band would Just Stop!





this band needs to be locked in a insane Asylum for making disturbing music.





LOL OH MAN THAT WAS FUCKING BRILLIANT LMAO





Never Again will we hear from Disturbed, but remember, the remnants will not continue on, don't even bother with a prayer, just leave it alone.



oh yea, got 5 in 1





Brilliant comedians itt



They'd probably never match 10,000 Fists or Indestructible again anyway, so no big deal.





oh god lol





Never Again shall i Sacrifice my braincells with such Intoxication such has listening to Disturbed, i'd rather Crucify my Child for the Serpentine in the Night than to be overburdened by hearing the Disturbing noise, ive had Enough of them...





11 in one









10k fists was good





I can't decide what's more pathetic: the fact that people are STILL posting these retarded puns or that they actually think they are being funny.





i always thought their music was 'Hopeless'. it looks like they have finally 'Had Enough'. it's 'Lights Out' for this band!



...wait, what?





just stop.





lol linked from reddit





"I can't decide what's more pathetic: the fact that people are STILL posting these retarded puns or that they actually think they are being funny."



Both





puns about disturbed > actual disturbed





jeez i hope they fucking break up. Disturbed is awful.





disturbed blows ass, i hope the vocalist eats shit and dies, 'the demise of hard rock and metal' lol what a dumbfuck
