Disturbed's uncertain future

2011-08-01 by taylormemer | 130 Comments
Disturbed's frontman, David Draiman, has offered personal insights into the reasoning behind the band's recent hiatus anouncement in an interview with Billboard.com.

In the interview, he explains that the hiatus is not as a result of "any animosity" amongst the band members (rather the contrary) and is instead as a consequence of personal reasons and commitments, and the "demise of hard rock and metal." He further adds "The [music] industry is still in a state of reformation; it is on the verge of collapse, in my opinion."

In response to the future of the band, Draiman showed uncertainty saying "We don't know. I can't definitely tell you at this point one way or another.", but went onto say that it the band isn't "dropping off the face of the Earth."

I like Disturbed, they're nothing earth shattering but the songs are enjoyable and theyre good live. I do agree that it's time for them to step away though. Give bands like asking alexandria more spotlight (sarcasm)

Disturbed was a descent band for a while but Asylum sounded like they just packed it in. Good thing they are taking a break from music. Maybe when they come back, if they come back, they will have a whole new sound. Hard rock and metal are not dying and neither is the music industry. They just need to realize that numetal died years ago.

Like all their music, honestly though I thought they were taking a break just because they ran out of ideas. Being consistent can only be interesting for so long. I think this all just sounds like a dumb ass excuse to be lazy and quit trying to come up with anything new.

Oh well. I am a fan of some of their older stuff, but most of Asylum sure did suck. Hopefully, they come back in a couple years with something on the level of Believe.

Draiman should do some sort of solo thing too. Different sounding music. Always thought he had a good, unique voice when he actually sings.

"demise of hard rock and metal."

Ha! Even i this is the case, it proves Disturbed are only in it for the money. So what if it's the demise of hard rock and metal (even tho I don't believe this is true), what happened to playing cos you love it, go underground for a while and when hard rock is popular again you'll come out the otherside stronger for it.

Also a hiatus is exactly what this band needs. Might give them the time to come up with enough ideas for an album which isn't 70% filler.

Quick, everyone stop making music until we can be sure we can still make money off of it

Of course not. Too much potential profits from a "comeback" album. See you in two years, boys.
