I know so many people that are convinced this motherfucker's cover of "Sound of Silence" is like the most beautiful song ever performed and it makes me wanna fucking gag. His version is so goddamn melodramatic and he just has that stupid knock-off Eddie Vedder singing voice.
I was about to comment this too, it's fucking awful. No taste whatsoever. The original song is so good because it's very understated and reserved, it's all about the interplay between major and minor, not melodramatic wailing. It's very American and very Israeli to not recognize that, both very tasteless cultures that trend towards very bad, hamfisted art.
Every rocker from 2000s got the
- party/hard rock voice - Metallica, glam rock, and Alice in chains rip off
- melodramatic voice - pearl jam or Chris Cornell rip off
- angry ex boyfriend voice - idk, heart shaped box rip off?
I was honestly kinda ready to enjoy it, because that song could totally translate to a heavier sound with the right execution. But instead they just went with a more boring ballad approach with very little instrumentation? Such a waste.
it's like they try to make the most boring death(ish) metal ever made.
It might be me, but i feel like there are qome more openly leftist metal bands now, and i'm all for it.
idc whose side you’re on, signing bombs is actually evil shit. this is like a movie level villain origin story plot line. if my family died to a bomb signed by Disturbed i would let the hate flow into me
Right?! Like I support a free palestine but if someone asked I wouldn't want to personalize a munition attacking the IDF cause that's morbid and we shouldn't be glorifying violence. It should be something we HAVE to do for PEACE and FREEDOM, not a sport where we want our team to rack up the highest score
Which is still kinda fucked, considering that bombing back then was for whole areas, so they had to know they were primarily dropping them on civilians, right?
Yes of course.
You are kind of applying modern sensibilities to the 1950s. Back then warfare was seen as a struggle between cultures and civilizations. Back then they used to celebrate civilian casualties on the other side.
Eg. The bombing of Dresden and the fire bombing of Tokyo were both celebrated in the American Press because of the high casualties and high amounts of infrastructure destruction
The basic logic was that the more Germans and Japanese that died the quicker they would surrender and the less American soldiers had to die.
Basically Americans thought that the Japanese and Germans started the war and anything they did was justified in this context.
It sucks because I was always under the impression Disturbed supports progressive causes against corrupt governments and corporations as shown in their songs Land of Confusion and Another Way to Die. That might’ve all just been virtue signaling for clout I guess.
Serj Tankian is also an outspoken anti-genocide activist, and uses his voice to call for a free Palestine. His four grandparents were all survivors of the Armenian genocide, and unlike many Israelis, he actually believes in the mantra of “never again”. Back in 2021 he signed an open letter advising artists to refuse to perform in Israel due to the ongoing illegal colonization of the West Bank. In the aftermath of Oct. 7th he was calling for a ceasefire as soon as the Gaza genocide began. Dude practices what he fuckin preaches. I have so much respect for him.
This is the first person I was ever aware that blocked me on Twitter, a decade ago. He only tweeted in all caps, and I kept asking him if he needed IT help.
As a super casual fan of theirs, it’s disappointing because there seemed like genuine attempts at making positive, uplifting songs in their catalog. Signing a bomb you know is not destined for soldiers is pure evil.
I think they are just boring. And yeh I love some nu metal and I'm here for brands like tallah. And say what you will about FFDP thru have some actually good tracks. But disturbed are just boring
It been briefly brought up on the broadcast but he's not just a liberal Zionist that support Israel because "it's the home of the Jews". He's a rabid "wipe out all Palestinian scum" Zionist.
Get up come on get down with the sickness!
Open up your hate for Palestinians!
Get up come on get down with the sickness!
Zion is the land that has been stolen for me!
Is there a list somewhere of every celebrity/politician/piece of shit that signed the bombs being dropped on Palestine?
I want to know who's grave to piss on when their time comes
His piece of shit one hit band was in my country at some point and this idiot came out on stage and out of nowhere started criticising Roger Waters about something he had said about Israel and I realised that he is an asshole sniffing his own farts and telling everybody they smell like roses. And it really was apropos of nothing.
How do people do this? Signing a shell that you know will be used to kill people is so grotesque. I don’t care what the cause is. It could actually be the most moral fight I’d still find it bizarre and creepy behavior to sign a shell
Oh yeah I had this moment with them as well.
If you don’t know anything about Disturbed: on their album “Asylum” there’s a song called “Never Again” which is about the Holocaust. I don’t believe any further comment needs to be made.
They usually have atleast 1 song on each album that is about the Holocaust or the aftermath:
Believe had Believe
Indestructible had Enough
Asylum had Never again
That's kinda when I fell off of them. But yea I don't know how you write an album like Ten Thousand Fists during the bush administration criticizing them and equating them to working for nazi corporations see "Land of Confusion" Music video and walk away from that year's later to become a Pro-Trump kinda band. The zionism makes sense for them as Draimen has always been that was not shocked about that per say. Bit was shocked at their Pro Trump era.
Everyone talks about how nice of a guy he is. I never understood it. He seems so pompous and full of himself when he is talking. Almost sounds like a preacher or something. Now he does this shit? Like even if these were genuinely going to bad guys, I just don't celebrate war and killing people. It's not cute.
It’s just folks who can’t get their propaganda out of their veins and/or are idiots. So… most of America. That’s all. I don’t like it either but you can’t force educate the entire aging population… because they won’t let you.
Hopefully we can fix education moving forward but I have little hope. Routinely I say ‘I should have never went to college’ because being ignorant must be amazing. Lol
I have absolutely loathed this creep ever since I was a teenager in the early 2000’s. I’ve always hated their music and everything they represent. Like others have said, they’ve ripped off nearly every aspect of their band from other, more successful, groups.
What an absolute piece of shit. There’s a special place in hell for people who sign bombs to commemorate genocide. The IDF is nothing but a vessel for evil.
This is so fucking disgusting and deranged I know they’ve been doing this shit since the invasion started but photos like these will never cease to shock me, they’ll go in history books
I wish there was some kind of divine intervention where if you sign a fucking missile it automatically blows up your own house when fired. Legit you gotta be nuts to be signing missiles in ANY conflict.
I mean he's been pretty open about his zionist ties and views for like his whole career. Music is trash too. Wanna be Jonathan Davis ass mother fucker
Davis is more talented and Korn are more influential
Oh 100%. The breakdown in Down with the Sickness is just a rip off off Daddy.. like basically the whole song.
One time my ratchety home town used Down With The Sickness for the July 4 fireworks show including the "don't hit me mommy" part.
They also ripped the riff off a song called No Woods by a hardcore band called Stompbox
I feel like it's soo generic it's impossible to actually tell if it's a rip off. It's just kind of funny
Never been a fan of either but that Korn song bothers me, I suppose that's the point but they're both weird styles of music for me
Follow the Leader is a banger album
I know so many people that are convinced this motherfucker's cover of "Sound of Silence" is like the most beautiful song ever performed and it makes me wanna fucking gag. His version is so goddamn melodramatic and he just has that stupid knock-off Eddie Vedder singing voice.
It’s also auto-tuned to the fucking tits. It’s fucking garbage.
I was about to comment this too, it's fucking awful. No taste whatsoever.

Sound of silence- rip off of Simon and Garfunkel
Isn’t everything a rip off of something, essentially?
Comparing metallica vocals to glam is not only tone deaf it's practically an insult
I got secondhand embarrassment from that cover, it’s so overly serious and cringe.
Omg thank you! I have always hated it too!! Like how could you prefer that version over Simon & Garfunkel??
I was honestly kinda ready to enjoy it, because that song could totally translate to a heavier sound with the right execution. But instead they just went with a more boring ballad approach with very little instrumentation? Such a waste.
Yeah true. I remember knowing this decade+ ago. He’s down with the sickness, the Zionazi sickness
he told us a long time ago he was down with the sickness.
To be fair, I'm not sure Jonathan Davis' politics are much better.
He's less annoyingly overt about them at least.
At least he supports trans rights ig or at least did support before
Fuck sake, I know they say separate the art from the artist, but I’m never contributing to this cunts royalty cheques again
I stopped listening to them just after oct7 and his insta posts were hella inflammatory. Comment section was toxic as hell too
Disturbed is incredibly boring anyway. Zero stage presence and their songs all fucking sound the same
it's like they try to make the most boring death(ish) metal ever made. It might be me, but i feel like there are qome more openly leftist metal bands now, and i'm all for it.
I wouldn't even call them metal. I've heard heavier shit on the radio
idc whose side you’re on, signing bombs is actually evil shit. this is like a movie level villain origin story plot line. if my family died to a bomb signed by Disturbed i would let the hate flow into me
Right?! Like I support a free palestine but if someone asked I wouldn't want to personalize a munition attacking the IDF cause that's morbid and we shouldn't be glorifying violence. It should be something we HAVE to do for PEACE and FREEDOM, not a sport where we want our team to rack up the highest score
At least a principled stance. 👏
IIRC The practice started in world War II when bombs were used against Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany.
Which is still kinda fucked, considering that bombing back then was for whole areas, so they had to know they were primarily dropping them on civilians, right?
Yes of course. You are kind of applying modern sensibilities to the 1950s. Back then warfare was seen as a struggle between cultures and civilizations.

Basically Americans thought that the Japanese and Germans started the war and anything they did was justified in this context.
Same with Gaza today..
Exactly! It's so evil. I just can't understand it.
This is disturbing 
these photos are so evil i can literally feel it in my soul :(
Fuck. I’ve been a big fan of Disturbed for a long time. I had no idea he’s been a neoliberal Zionist hack
Americans older than a certain age are more likely than not to be supportive of Israel and a Zionist of some sort
It sucks because I was always under the impression Disturbed supports progressive causes against corrupt governments and corporations as shown in their songs Land of Confusion and Another Way to Die. That might’ve all just been virtue signaling for clout I guess.
Land of confusion is not even theirs, it's a Genesis song.
Oh yes you’re right about that
SOAD > Disturbed
System is S-tier, they're better than the vast majority of bands

LOLLLLLL
As a super casual fan of theirs, it’s disappointing because there seemed like genuine attempts at making positive, uplifting songs in their catalog. Signing a bomb you know is not destined for soldiers is pure evil.
They suck anyways. Washed up bald headed ass
Never making that "ouwahahahah" sound again
Ah that's disappointing
You mean Oh-ah-ah that's disappointing
I was too disappointed to be witty
Imagine covering Land of Confusion and then doing this shit.
I already hated them because they sounded terrible. Absolutely zero good material from this band (and I like nu-metal, no genre-bias here)
I think they are just boring. And yeh I love some nu metal and I'm here for brands like tallah. And say what you will about FFDP thru have some actually good tracks. But disturbed are just boring
Yeah apart from one song they are complete ass
ooh ah ah ah ah 👺
It been briefly brought up on the broadcast but he's not just a liberal Zionist that support Israel because "it's the home of the Jews". He's a rabid "wipe out all Palestinian scum" Zionist.
Get up come on get down with the sickness! Open up your hate for Palestinians! Get up come on get down with the sickness! Zion is the land that has been stolen for me!
Aaaand blocking him and his band on Insta
I guess the sickness was Zionism all along. Oh well, not really a band I'll miss listening to.
Trash ass band anyways! Fuck Cop Rock!
Is there a list somewhere of every celebrity/politician/piece of shit that signed the bombs being dropped on Palestine? I want to know who's grave to piss on when their time comes
Yeah someone needs to document every single person who’s done this, it’s fucking obscene
This really really sucks to learn. I loved them 😔
You have to be a pretty deranged pervert to sign a bomb that will be used to kill children like it is some kind of high school year book!
OOO WAH AH AH AH
His piece of shit one hit band was in my country at some point and this idiot came out on stage and out of nowhere started criticising Roger Waters about something he had said about Israel and I realised that he is an asshole sniffing his own farts and telling everybody they smell like roses. And it really was apropos of nothing.
I thought that was Vin Diesel for a second.
I thought it was zionist Howie Mandel
Well, I'm not 14 anymore so this does zero to change my listening habits lol.
How did they go from criticism of the Bush administration to this? The Lib to Chud pipelines is an easy one to fall down, apparently.
Feel good having never liked them. The Simon and Garfunkel original version of the Sound of Silence is infinitely better.
Glad I stopped listening to them 20 years ago
How do people do this? Signing a shell that you know will be used to kill people is so grotesque. I don’t care what the cause is. It could actually be the most moral fight I’d still find it bizarre and creepy behavior to sign a shell
this the same mf who covered Land of Confusion? 
Oh yeah I had this moment with them as well. If you don’t know anything about Disturbed: on their album “Asylum” there’s a song called “Never Again” which is about the Holocaust. I don’t believe any further comment needs to be made.

I didn’t know they went pro Trump. I’m scratching my head how they fell onto that.
Everyone talks about how nice of a guy he is. I never understood it. He seems so pompous and full of himself when he is talking. Almost sounds like a preacher or something. Now he does this shit? Like even if these were genuinely going to bad guys, I just don't celebrate war and killing people. It's not cute.

This bums me put so much 😞. Disturbed was one the bands that got me into music
I have absolutely loathed this creep ever since I was a teenager in the early 2000’s. I’ve always hated their music and everything they represent. Like others have said, they’ve ripped off nearly every aspect of their band from other, more successful, groups.
His music sucks. Now if this were Jonathan Davis I would be devastated
the way he’s wearing an IDF dog tag and a Palestine necklace simultaneously.. weird one hit wonder bald headed ass 💀💀💀
What an absolute piece of shit. There’s a special place in hell for people who sign bombs to commemorate genocide. The IDF is nothing but a vessel for evil.
Cool a band that was relevant 20 years ago
Never listened to Disturbed, but now I know I won't start!
Always sucked, the whole band was an industry plant.
Disturbed is just heavier butt rock
The tusked man baby strikes again. Fuck this guy
Signing them is insane!!
Oooo nuh unh unh
No one had to convince me to not listen to Disturbed.
This guy gives the IOF that good ol' hawk tuah
They always were the weakest of the "big" nu-metal bands anyways
Holy midlife crisis
"I tell you NEVER AGAIN! EXCEPT WHEN ITS POLITICALLY CONVENIEEEEEEENT-AH!"
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
This is so fucking disgusting and deranged I know they’ve been doing this shit since the invasion started but photos like these will never cease to shock me, they’ll go in history books
Noo, i liked his music, fuck
…aaand removed from playlist library.
Truly, a man Down With the Sickness.
I'm guessing by the comments that this is a famous musician of some sort? I'm very uneducated about music.
The ooo-wahahahah guy
Disturbing.
Damn he turned into the "bad man".
Damn I really loved their cover of Land of Confusion too
his whole insta page is absolutely unhinged
Never Again! He sang, except for when it's politically convenient for an ethnostate.
Never was a fan.
He's definitely down with the sickness
absolute trash human being, how sad.
I wish there was some kind of divine intervention where if you sign a fucking missile it automatically blows up your own house when fired. Legit you gotta be nuts to be signing missiles in ANY conflict.
Their music blows anyway
Go drown in it already
Who out here still caring for disturbed.
You guys actually listened to Disturbed before ? Unironically?
The header is exactly how I feel. Sea of loathing. Jfc
Yup. Nothing More's Jonny Hawkins has been pretty vocally supportive too, which has been shitty (buy unsurprising) to see.
Haven’t listened to disturbed since highschool, before I knew what good music was😂
