A great
metal band who had the misfortune of being branded with the "nu
metal" label, which warrants every
hater to say "listen to real
metal." Despite this label, Disturbed is heavier than the fathers of metal, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, and other influential metal bands such as AC/DC and Iron Maiden. In fact, their most popular song, Down with the Sickness is heavier than Metallica's most popular song, Enter Sandman.
Sure, Mike Wengren is no Lars Unlrich and
Dan Donegan will never tear through solos
like Dave Mustaine, but Disturbed is a band that should not be underestimated. Everything from David Draiman's aweworthy vocal range to the band's ability to recreate the feeling of pure, relentless terror give them the right to be called the Metallica of the new millennium.
Hater: Distubed sucks! They aren't even metal
Disturbed fan: Have you even listened to their
music?
Hater: No, but my friend told me they did a Genesis cover
Disturbed fan: *facepalm*
