Disturbed, Linkin Park, Stone Temple Pilots... These aren't just random bands or words. These are household names that carried a whole generation. To all of us they aren't just rich famous musician so much as a close friend that knew exactly what to say when we needed to hear it. Beautiful, emotionally driven music that gave millions their reason to fight. There is a light in the darkness, and, for a lot of us, it is the music they bring us.
Man, poor David, I’m glad that celebrities are opening up about their mental health struggles
Never been a disturbed fan ..but what this man did here takes a lot of guts. He said what alot of people haven't been saying and taking the time to address it honestly and so candidly is definitely a heroic action of sorts.
Hearing the emotion in his voice broke my heart. We love you David
Idk what I'd do if we lost David. Losing Chester, Scott, and Chris broke everything I had. Especially with Chester, the lyrics he wrote described the most pain I've ever heard. It's heartbreaking.
I’m a Marine Corps veteran. If it weren’t for the mental toughness I gained from the Corps I wouldn’t be here today to see this. It’s not easy because every day is a struggle. I have to do it myself. One day I’ll probably lose the battle but today I’m still here.
As someone with a mental illness, borderline personality disorder… David I have the feeling you’re going to save a life or two by letting your fans know you to suffer from depression.
We’ll never get over losing Chester. Still feels like a nightmare.
I just want to point out the crowd's silence during his speech, even though there were subtle and small cheers and applause, as soon as he said that he almost joined Chester and Chris, it's like you could hear a mouse patter in that room. It's something you don't see often in concerts. It's hard enough as it is to listen to Soundgarden and Linkin Park without their vocalists but it would've been just as devastating to lose David and not hear him in Disturbed anymore. I'm so glad and proud of David that he didn't let depression and addiction cost him his life.
I'm so glad to hear that he chose to stay on this earth. For most us, just hang in there... as depressing as life gets some time, it always gets better. Thanks to Rock Feed for the great comments! You're MORE of a man to reveal your emotions, brother! God Bless You.
I was there that night, it was emotional to say the least. He then had the lights turn to us and had everyone raise their hands if they had gone through depression or addiction. He asked us to look around and see who else had their hand up, to show that we aren’t alone. It was beautiful
The stunned noise when he said "I almost joined them", that brief silence, you could feel it all. Every single person in that arena was hit by the harsh reality of depression and how it affects people.
His voice is haunting. His words are haunting. His emotion is haunting. I respect this man so much for speaking his truth.
I can tell he meant every word wholeheartedly. Props to you David, keep fighting the good fight brother ✊️
every time I hear Chester's name, I got goosebumps by that at
Mental health is serious. I lost my older brother, who I admired and looked up too. He was a huge Linkin Park and Disturbed fan. Seeing this brings tears to my eyes because I've haven't stopped listening to these bands because they remind me of him so much. Thank you so much David for being brave and encouraging others to fight, be strong and get help from your love ones 🙏
I went and saw Disturbed for the first time in August 2023.. He made this same exact speech. I cried- It was so refreshing to listen to a celebrity speak up about their mental health issues. He is such a beautiful human.
David’s speech was very heartfelt… you could see how genuine he is, too. Also, I’m happy he is still with us as Disturbed’s frontman.
We need more people like David, too many people have turned their backs and become cold to people in need.
As someone dealing with both depression and addiction, I felt that... I felt that so hard... All the love and best wishes for David and all Disturbed's band members and fans. You keep fighting fam, we keep fighting to see another day.
