DISTURBED's Belgian Show Cancelled Over DAVID DRAIMAN's Photo Signing IDF Missiles

OO AH AH AH AH

The coolest.

I feel so justified for never liking their music.

Past tense is important.

They made maybe one or two decent albums in the 90s, and then faded into obscurity.

"Decent" is also a matter of taste.

They were very angsty when angsty music was popular. Now they're just old guys trying to hard to connect with a scene that is far too young for their music to be relevant for.

It barely mattered when it was released, but looking at everything else that was released in the 90s in similar genres, there was a lot of anger and angst that those Gen Xers were expressing that resonated with the early millennials, myself included.

His voice is awful, that's reason enough.

Nice

Oh god damn it, what did Iced Earth do?

e: guitarist was one of the Jan 6 rioters

Look, I'm not going to support his recent actions, but imo that's one of the best covers ever done. I legit prefer it to the original.

Jet Li?

staaaaap

If those hit the people they were addressing, sure. But in reality, both those bombs, if they actually hit someone, probably killed poor schmucks just trying to make their way through life.

I have so much respect for you, stranger

Back when Napster was a thing, I shared "Somewhere I Belong" by Linkin Park and after the lyrics "I have nothing to say" all the vocals were removed by a shitty winamp plugin. Kid me thought that was hilarious.

I don't think they care, it is for my peace of mind really. Each time I listen to one of their songs I will be bothered by what an asshole he turned out to be.

zionism does not imply they are religious.
Some of the worst zionists are atheists or US 'christians'

There's a gargantuan difference between naming a weapon you're using yourself and doing some performative shit and signing a bomb that you'll never see the repercussions of. At least there's a bit of logic behind soldiers naming their swords or guns because those items are directly responsible for their own survival in a shitty situation they may or may not have directly volunteered for. My agreement or disagreement with that entirely separate subject aside: Fuck any wannabe badass who does shit like this thinking it's some sort of flex. Murdering someone over political or religious reasons is fucking stupid every day of the god damned year. Period. Full fucking stop.

I mostly enjoyed them as a teenager. The only song really left in my rotation was their sound of silence cover.

Their old Deify song is very on point now. Dude could've became the voice of despise about the current admin, but instead he got one (1.0, single, singular, SOLE, O N L Y) strong political opinion and it is that one. What the fuck.

It’s not the most important distinction, but I do agree that we gotta be smarter than that. Maybe we just teach people the word “munitions” and move on.

Fair enough.

He still hasn't been relevant in a long time.

What a loser.

Grotty. Guy probs got divorced because she didn't understand the literal extent of the band's name when marrying him and thought those tendancies were fixable.

Earlier this year, he divorced his wife of 12 years, Lena, and his dog, Gabriel, died.

There's got to have been a better way to write this...

Kept reading and

As for rising antisemitism, Draiman is equally concerned. “How can you not be worried about it?” he says.

For real for real.

Referring to some Democrat politicians, he says: “They pretend to represent everyone when they don’t. It’s very scary how they keep on stirring the pot of antisemitism on a daily basis, ...”

Hard agree. I don't follow American poli too closely, but your Democrats sound super conservative.

under the guise of being social justice warriors, with no repercussions.”
