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).
And their version of “Sound of Silence” is the good one, too. Goddamnit.
I always thought that was a terrible cover. I couldn’t grasp why it was so well received.
He took a beautiful song and made it broody and corny as fuck. I don’t get the appeal, either.
And the music video…
Do you have any idea what the song is about? It’s supposed to be broody, it’s depressing as hell. Even Paul Simon said he liked the Disturbed version.
Perhaps broody was the wrong word - it’s like…a middle schooler’s favorite dark cartoon character.
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.
