Disturbed Balls 2007-07-28 by Otisbum | 21 Comments | Disturbed guitarist Dan Donegan gave a brand new interview to "The Big Rock Show" about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the band's new album and their future plans, reports 93X.com. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:
On what Disturbed has been up to in the last few months?
"We've just been writing. We've been real busy. Our personal lives have been busy as well. Mike [Wengren], our drummer, just got married a couple of weeks ago, and I just had a baby boy a little over a month ago. We're all just kind of balancing family life and trying to get back in writing mode, which we've been kind of hitting it pretty hard. Before Mike's wedding and before the baby came, we wanted to get the majority of the material [for the next Disturbed album] written, which we we seemed to be pretty successful at, so we're just kind of fine-tuning a lot of stuff right now."
On how the new Disturbed material compares to previous albums?
"Definitely, as far as musically, it's a lot ballsier than we've written. There's gonna be those signature things that are us, just 'cause stylistically that's the way we perform, and David [Draiman], vocally, is always gonna sound like him, so... he's got some big melodic moments, but there's some still aggressive stuff -- just a lot ballsier, I think. [We're] trying to get a good blend of the elements of the past three CDs to try to evolve into something fresh and new for us as well."
On the bands's plans for the rest of the year and the possibility of live dates?
"Right now the gameplan is to hit the studio this fall. That's where our heads are at, that's where we feel... that we're ready for it, so as long as we get the green light from the record label to give us our budget and let us go in and make this record, then that's our main goal right now -- just bang this out and get it ready. More than likely, we probably won't hit the road until after the first of the year, but I don't wanna rule that out -- anything is possible in this business; things pop up all the time and opportunities pop up, but the main priority is, once we get into the stuio, it's highly unlikely that we're gonna leave until we're finished with the CD. I Once we get in that mode of recording, we like to just see it through and finish it."

the elements of the past three CDs
The first two were the same thing and the last one was the same thing with solos.

Honestly, I'd rather just listen to this for an hour straight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwTZ2xpQwpA

Hate!!!!
| | |
lol, nu-metal with balls...now I have heard everything
| | |
chocolate rain!
| | |
Disturbed sucks beyond belief. Ten Thousand Fists was the cheesiest album ever. Such a bad band!
| | |
I am curiouse to see what they will com up with, so I guess I am looking forward to it. There not that bad. By far the best of Nu-Metal. But its not very hard to be better than Korn or Slipnot.

You've never listened to Deftones, have you?
| | |
Oddly enough, The Sickness to me was decent.
Oh, and the Balls thing came off weird.This Message Edited On 07.29.07

You've never listened to Deftones, have you?
lol deftones nu-metal.
| | |
These guys aren't too bad. Not really great either though.
| | |
It's gonna be hard to top their last album on the balls scale imo!
| | |
Why does every disturbed single start off with the following....
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH WHAAA AH AH AH AH!!"
followed by a series of 'uUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHH UUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH"
its like hes passing a kidney stone...
that being said their last album was cheesy as hell the end
| | |
Disturbed being the best nu metal? lol what a joke. Deftones and Sevendust are definetly alot better than those d-bags.
| | |
At first I thought "Ten Thousand Fists" was a really bad porno. But then my friend made me listen to it and you could only hope it was something as bad as a porno, because that was one of the most terrible albums I had heard in awhile.
| | |
Deftones comes off more as metal than nu-metal to me at least.
| | |
You guys are nuts, Deftones arent Nu Metal or anything else...
theyre kinda Alt Metal/Experemental Rock.
| | |
Just because they experiment with other stuff dosen't mean they aren't nu-metal. I thought Mudvayne tought us that on LD 50.
| | |
There's no such thing as best nu-metal band. Only least awful nu-metal band. I've only listened to a little bit of Deftones, but what I heard sounded more like rock than nu-metal.

God I hope it gets better after the Ten Thousand Fists crap.
