I ask because I've just booked two tickets for their show in London - "Nevermore" are supporting, who I've always loved and never seen.

Anyway, I've just been on Disturbed's site, listened and ridden myself of the streams pretty sharpish. Very nasty indeed.

Anyone seen them, are they worth the wait or shall we just fuck off up the road for some real ale?

Saw them supporting Marilyn Manson (don't ask) a few years ago at the NEC. They play unremarkable nu-metal fare, including an unremarkable nu-metal version of 'Shout' by Tears for Fears that makes the original sound really good.

The singer clearly, brazenly loved himself far more that the apathetic audience did.

The bass player had red LEDs on his fretboard that he'd operate at un-musical moments whilst striking a very uncomfortable, artificial Rock Pose for cameras that were not there. Mark King from Level 42 also had red LEDs on his bass, and they are about as cool as Level 42.

The guitar player came out to the side of the stage during the interval to sign autographs but no one wanted one.

I do not have a anecdote with regard to the drummer but if a man is the company he keeps then he is a cunt, too.

Cheers, but you leave me with a quandry.
You describe it beautifully, making it sound hilarious for all the reasons we outlined in that "metal that's so awful, it's sublime" type thread... ...I think the red L.E.D.s sold me.

Or, was the horror of the spectactle only survivable through humour? Rather like the occaisions I was forced to watch both "Titanic", and "Legends of the Fall"; funny, but only after the fact?

*edit*
Thanks too, Mez.

Seeing as it's the Astoria, I think we'll just do the pub thing once Nevermore leave.
We're spoilt for choice around there.

Simple.

Watch Nevermore - essential as they are one of the best bands around at the moment. Then see 5 or so minutes of how much Nevermore blew Disturbed off the stage, leave satisfied at a good night's metal at the hands of Nevermore and get pissed.

Nice

Disturbed had a radio spot where they were talking about how they were all about the music and the success didn't matter...it was a beer commercial.

I know Curran Murphy who used to tour in Nevermore. Well, not personally, but rather indirectly. See, he was a friend of a friend so you know how that goes.

Curran Murphy, haha. Aggression Core, right? He's with Annihilator now isn't he?

Isn't Disturbed that band with the chubby little depressed frontman that sang a duet with Fred Durst a few years ago...? Bleargh. Eww... definitly miss that. What the hell is Nevermore doing on a bill with these jokers?

Yeah! The remaining guys in Aggression Core are in a band called "Castdown" now...We (Woodrot) are playing with them the night before Celtic Frost! Curran produced the last "In Memorium" album, he did a mighty fine job...yeah, he's still in Annihilator as far as I know..."Alice in Hell!!" haha!!!

Hey Blackcloud, I like Woodrot music. The vocal in the song Wallow reminds me of Bolt Thrower, total 90s death metal worship here.
Well it's a reformed 90s band so...

There's even a some John Tardy kind of call too. WOW!

I don't know about In Memorium but MEMORIUM from QUÉBEC city. Who once opened for Voivod at the time they were called Tereza.

Poor old Disturbed... looks like everyone here hates them!

Perhaps if the guitarist had used blue LED's instead...? They're very futuristic, blue LED's you see.

I love the fact that E-Force writes his posts with the caps lock on, like he's singing the first verse to 'Insect' at us.

I don't know about you lot but that's the voice I always read his posts in.

Authoritive. Concise.

Is this what Manowar morphed into?

I think they are in town tonight. I don't like them, so yes they are 'rubbish'!

Is 16 pounds a lot of money in us $$?

I hear Phobos when reading E_FORCE posts. Lovely song!

--------------------

theres only so many double kick drum'd songs with singers shouting the F word you can take before it becomes extremely dull.
