Someone is suddenly uncomfortable with his level of complicity.

I'm sure the Palestinians killed by his autograph feel much better now.

Fucking piece of shit.

So frustrating when someone with an admirable skill is a moral pariah. The guy has genuinely studio perfect vocal compression. Every metal vocalist knows it. You don't need to like disturbed to hear it.

Joins the ranks of R Kelly and Kanye, Tim Lambesis, P Diddy, Ian Watkins, etc.

May AI bastardize their catalogues 🙏

Piece of shit, not quite Ian Watkins. We all have trump fans in our familes somewhere, they aren't all infant abusing pedofiles

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

If any of my trump family members signed a bomb and said they hoped the dead kids it killed would come to their show, I would 100% disown them the same.

Holy crap. I did not know that about Tim. That fucking sucks, As I Lay Dying has been one of my favorite bands since I was a teenager

Fuck Jon Schaffer. Iced Earth was my favorite band back in the Barlow 1 / Ripper era. Traitorous fuck.

Disturbed are still around? Well, I'll continue nor buying their stuff, I guess

[–] RaoulDuke25@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They sucked when I was in high school. Guess they still suck now, too.

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They did, and they still do, too.

No, Mommy, I'll be a good boy!

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

This is the guy that wanted the dead children to come to his concert, right? You're never going to get anything approaching a straight answer from this asshole.

[–] FE80@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

This asshole got booed at the last Ozzy show.

[–] fif-t@fedia.io 10 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck Draiman, and good that this article is calling him out.

But at the same time, it's in itself still both sides-ing a genocide and was a somewhat infuriating read.

Funny how compassion always seems to manifest if your pocketbook might get hurt

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Seldom I wished so much for an ordinance accident.

Little happy accidents.

"Compassion bombs"

[–] baeb66@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

I have compassion for anyone who has ever paid to see one of his shows.

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

As someone who spent his 20's working in the music industry, I think it's important to underline that success or talent for a person in music has literally nothing to do with that person's intelligence.

Doesn't mean they can't be smart, but it's far more likely than people think that the musicians you love are kinda dumb as fuck.

I think that lack of self analysis/awareness frees up the capacity to convey raw emotion or something...

I knew he was a piece of shit when he ruined Simon & Garfunkel.

[–] cholesterol@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Grabbing the fuse seems to track.

[–] heartpunk25@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'm sorry he did what?

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Fuck him for this.

Very very much smaller stakes here, but also fuck him for naming his shit band "Device" when Device was already an incredible (if obscure) 80s hair metal band, which included Holly Knight (who wrote Love Is A Battlefield among other songs).

Amusingly the music video for Device (the good one)'s "Who Says" (youtube link here, and I highly recommend at least listening to the song if not also watching the video, it's a BANGER) has a comment from Holly herself from ten years ago throwing shade at this shithead for taking the band name anyways after he asked her for it and she said no.
