Or are the two intertwined? How to come up with that mystical combination of notes that, for whatever reason, resonates within a human being better than another is not something you can teach. It is not science. It is all feel. But people like to put others into boxes. Why do people want to put people into camps? Draiman: I think it makes them comfortable. All of the elements that are parts of being a nu metal band were never part of what we did. But we came up at the same time as those guys were enjoying a tremendous amount of success so we got slapped with that label.
This was a change of direction that felt so gratifying. Draiman: I got pleasure out of not expecting what it would sound like as we did it. And for it to come out the way it did was a shock to my system. It was a heavy moment. If it did that to me and the rest of the guys when they heard it, we thought for sure people are going to feel this.
MC: Your voice, especially on that song, is so powerful. You can sing clear notes and transition to darker, more metal tones. How do you achieve the control that allows you to shift your voice in that way? Are there exercises that help you do that? Draiman: There are. Putting a bit of distortion, a bit of grit, on the vocal, making it a bit more agro, doing that while maintaining melody is a very difficult technique.
Melissa Cross is my vocal coach. To do a metalcore tonality is easier to replicate consistently than to add distortion to a melodic vocal, because carrying a melody requires control. Draiman: Oh yeah. Just one push without the proper support starts the inflammation. And, if you keep those bad habits going, over time you get into serious trouble.
How did that come about? Draiman: We were on tour with Alter Bridge last cycle. It felt like, dude, we have to do this. The band has released six studio albums, five of which have consecutively debuted at number one on the Billboard Their seventh studio album, Evolution, was released on October 19, Awalt left the band shortly after the recording of a demo tape; the other three members advertised for a singer. Draiman answered the advertisement after going to twenty other auditions that month.
Chill up my spine. It just seems to symbolize everything we were feeling at the time. The level of conformity that people are forced into was disturbing to us and we were just trying to push the envelope and the name just sorta made sense. Disturbed headlined the Rock Fest, along with Godsmack and Incubus.
But back then, no one was accepting of ballads. I was obviously way too cocky for my own good, and was so defensive. And yet, Disturbed defied the haters to become one of the biggest metal bands in the world. They regularly pull arena crowds. In , following the release of post-hiatus record Immortalized , they were the most-played band on rock radio in the US and Canada.
Would you like to see how it feels, mommy? These days, it radiates the knowing, polished air of wealth. Ten minutes before the Conan appearance, filmed with a piece orchestra, David could be found pacing his dressing room, sweating, ravaged by illness and emotionally riddled with nerves.
I had no idea how it was going to sound. I tried to shut everybody and everything out, and focus on how I felt about the song and where it was taking me, and not worry about the camera. I can play in front of , people, no issue. That red light comes on on a TV camera, I get nervous. Getting over the level of intimidation was tough. At the time of writing, the performance has had more than 80million views on YouTube, while the official music video is pushing million.
Everywhere I go now. The rebellious entity within the family, or the one that strayed off the path. I kind of enjoy being that guy. The exposure prompted him to leave Twitter three years ago. So why are people still hating on him today?
