    Controversy? What controversy? The only people who are butt-hurt are the genocide apologists. And I don’t really give a shit what they think.

      Saw Bob Vylan in the mud and muck last year at Louder than Life, and that’s the performance that has stuck with me the most by far from that fest. Such a high energy performer, and there were only maybe a couple hundred people in the crowd (early set, on one of the smaller side stages, so kind of expected). The messages in the lyrics are spot on too, but it was kinda funny looking around at all the rural Kentuckians there looking all uncomfortable and rolling their eyes when they realized what they were listening to lmao

    Draiman is a self-described “very strong supporter of Israel” and last June, he posted images of himself online signing an IDF bomb and appeared to write “Fuck Hamas” on it.

    Jesus Christ. It’s so exhausting to continually hear of absolute depravity from people who I used to think were so cool (albeit for this loser, it was when I was like 14).

      I’m so glad I stopped caring about disturbed close to 20 years ago. Plus, that album after inside the fire was fucking trash.

      I saw them live at an open air festival before COVID and that was such a disappointing show. Definitely killed any interest I had, and this just buries the body.

        I’ve got a good Draiman story. Disturbed played in my city in 2009. It was an all day music festival. I was on my feet all day which aggravated my old knee injury. Disturbed were the last or second to last band to play at night, so by the time they came on I was in so much pain. I went and sat down in the closest section to me.

        The band comes out and plays their set. A bit of the way through Draiman does some crowd interaction. He calls for everyone to stand up. Everyone does, except for my section. He pointed at us and went “what is this, the fucking pussy section?” I looked around… it was the disabled section.

        So anyway, that’s the story of how I got called a pussy by Draiman.

        Umm, it’s fucking hot garbage shit. Kids today haven’t listened to Bridge over Troubled water all the way through, guaranteed. What a sad realization.
