My new favorite Disturbed track! Vocal ANALYSIS of "The Game"

- I had the extreme pleasure of interviewing David Draiman of Disturbed recently ( • DISTURBED's David Drai... ), and shared with him that I'd been waiting to analyze "The Game", touted as one of their top performed songs on tour. Man, this did not disappoint. Not only did David bring his signature growls, but the arrangement and flow throughout this track had me absolutely giddy!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Disturbed performing "The Game" for the first time.

------------- - Hry
"Prayer" is probably my favorite song by Disturbed. Definitely worth checking out.
Prayer is definitely my favorite as well
I love Prayer. My grandpa had a bilateral stroke when I was young and it was a song that really connected with me.
And mine would be "Remember," a testament to their brilliance from song to song.
Prayer is also my favourite!
They've got so many great songs. My favorite from Believe is Rise, but many bangers on that album.
Disturbed - ten thousand fists
A killer metal anthem.
Seconded and Thirded for sure😅😂
One more HECKIN day
One of my favorites, definitely recommended
@bob-ov4iq
I’m w/you brother! Saw them in Raleigh here in NC where I live and they filmed that song live for a video.
Yes!! This is always an underrated song from Disturbed and easily my favorite of theirs
It's so good!!!
It's so much fun live as well
Definitively underrated. So fun to see @TheCharasmaticVoice get all "giddy" over this one!
Absolutely one of my favorites as well. I too thoroughly enjoyed her reaction to this song.
Absolutely mine too.
Disturbed is amazing live. The moment David comes out and addresses the crowd as "my brothers, my sisters, my blood" he has us completely under his control
I'm supposed to see them this weekend. I'm so excited!
@@peggynunez391 Phoenix? I'll be there, too.
David is the near perfect front man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are you that easily controled ?
Yes I have seen them 3 times now!! Love them!
I’ve easily been to a hundred concerts. My wife and I usually average 7 a year. We’ve seen Disturbed twice and the energy both times was out of this world. The last one they opened with Are You Ready and the place exploded! It was two hours of insanity. I’ve never left a concert so exhausted. I absolutely love this band. You MUST see them live.
Elizabeth is absolutely priceless. Her facial reactions are the best. Thank you for all that you do informing and teaching us not only on vocals but also on the music and instrument progression .
Wow, thank you!
You realize that there's no person on Earth that enjoys music at her level ❤
She's great! And beautiful too❤
"Remember" from their second album Believe is amazing. That album remains my favorite from them to this day.
Super underrated song
I think that was def their best album….every song is great!
Album feels criminally underrated to me. Ive drifted far from disturbed artistcally, But to this day Believe is one of those albums that If it was the only music I could listen to for the rest of my life I would be entirely Content.
Remember is one of the most underappreciated tracks i have ever heard, hope Elizabeth will react to it!
Oh my god, THANK YOU! YES! Remember, Prayer, Inside the fire/Indestructible are my all time faves, in that order even
David is the gift that just keeps giving. A true master!
Saw Disturbed live recently, went with a buddy whose favourite song happens to be 'The Game' - which they played! Not only was he ecstatic!, but his voice sounded EXACTLY like the studio version. It was incredible to witness it live! But yeah, I swear there was no difference live vs studio, except for the natural reverb of the venue (and fans singing along).
Recently saw them also begrudgingly as I'm into much heavier music. But they were a big part of my formative music years when the sickness and believe came out. Hearing this song live this late into their career was so damn cool!
Saw them in 2008 or 2009 and can agree. I was there for Slipknot mostly. Disturbed was a huge bonus. Slipknot was last and my energy was spent after Disturbed. Both were amazing.
Anything from Disturbed is exceptional. Looking and listening to David is very enjoyable. His soothing voice is a treat. His intelligence and compassion is priceless. This band has saved me more than once.
not really, the sickness have aged horribly, only listenable track is down with the sickness without cringy violence part
I'd love her to do a reaction of Darkness, the vocal power in that song is insane
@@howardhavardramberg7160Such a great song!
Still blows me away watching interviews with Draiman, including yours. The man is so soft-spoken and eloquent, and then so much of the music is loud and angry. When you hear him talk about it, you understand, but it's still such a contrast. Also, like many tracks, this one is a great example of his incredible ability to switch vocal styles on a dime. Absolute master of his craft.
I love the way Draiman just melts Elizabeth's soul. Its like his voice takes her into a whole different realm and we can see all the feelings surface
MuDvAyNe - Not Falling
Though it's one of the band's softer songs, they can jam. From soothing to pure insanity, Chad Gray owns one of the most powerful and mesmerizing voices in metal. Truly grateful they reunited. Their music has helped me weather my storm!
Mudvayne is one of my favorite underrated band of this era!
You have my vote
I think there’s lots of other Mudvayne songs to go off of for the same effect. Love them though
The end of all things to come by Mudvayne has quenched the flames of rage for me many times
yes early 2000s mudvayne needs to be on here
The Light by Disturbed... A song that to me really deals with having to deal with a dark moment or painful moment in your life and holding on cause sometimes if we can get through our darkest days we can find ourselves in the brightest lights. It's a song about strength, hope and inspiration and the video for this song is a perfect match to the song.. This band has so many masterpieces in my opinion and one of the best live bands I ever saw.. Truly a gifted group of individuals and the fact that they range in faith etc only makes them even more appealing cause they come at songs with so many different perspectives. Thanks for this :)
Heck yeah!
Yes
mad respect dude!
Yes! The Light helped me get through the tough time, picking up the pieces after getting out of an abusive marriage. I even got the words "Don't let hope become a memory" tattooed on me.
The Light & A Reason to Fight are stellar musts.
I've always felt Pain Redefined from their third album is a real showcase of David's ability to almost act as a rhythm instrument with his lyrics. Not one of their biggest hits or anything but the verses are phenomenal (:
Guitar work in that song is underrated as well, IMO
That, Stricken, ten thousand fists itself, decadence, guarded, so many great songs on that album.
Pain Redefined is highly underrated. It’s a shame we don’t have a live performance of that one by the way. I’ve seen it listed on some set lists for the Ten Thousand Fists tour.
Pain redefined just remembers me of world of warcraft burning crusade, back then i'd be playing WoW and just listen to disturbed's ten thousand fists' album non stop lol
I think deify is even better. You get almost acapella clean singing, shouting, a louder voice, harsher vocals, a lot of different rythms and also a great instrumental performance.
I'm seeing Disturbed for the first time tomorrow and I am so hyped.
They're one of the few bands out there that sound just like the studio version
The Light....all the emotions and all David's brilliant techniques in one song.
Disturbed BELIEVE! One of Disturbed’s best albums. I highly recommend Remember. Hopefully it will be analyzed by the charismatic voice!
Seriously, anything from Believe. The song by the same name might be my favorite of their work.
This entire album (The Sickness) is absolutely insane. It has a harmonic sparseness that's been kind of filled in with their evolution as they've gone a bit more into the nu-metal/rock end of the pool. Not that it's any less great, just there's something really special with their first release - and I think you nailed it with this video. Loved your interview with David as well. Great analysis!
Seeing Elizabeth getting moved by the music and smiling is always the most adorable thing 😂 The Yaba Daba Do part as I've called it for the bridge section definitely has always given me skatting/KoRn Freak On A Leash vibes. I've always just sang that section based off what I've heard. I've been listening to Disturbed since this album came out when I was 14. Still such a classic ❤
Love Draiman’s voice. Such an original vocalist. So expressive and almost violent. Plus, he has great dynamics. Disturbed are a great band also. He doesn’t do much live, he doesn’t have to ha his voice does all the talking. I remember when I first heard his voice ‘Down With The Sickness’ (like so many others I expect) and it really hit me in the face. Awesome 👏
About 6 months after we were graduated from high school, I went to a Disturbed concert with a handful of friends in a relatively small venue in Indianapolis. Despite pre-gaming the concert a bit, I still remember the entire set because it was just stellar. I've been to at least 80 different concerts but the one time I saw Disturbed sticks out, even 15+ years later. Since the venue was relatively small, everyone was standing and we got to within about 15 feet of the stage. In the middle of a breakdown (while leaning over to a buddy of mine to hear him), I felt this odd little tap directly on my sternum. I looked back up to the stage and Dan (the guitarist) was pointing at me and laughing. When we locked eyes for a second, he pointed down so I looked towards my feet. He apparently flicked his guitar pick out into the crowd while I wasn't paying attention and I somehow saw it on the ground right between my shoes.
I picked it up in confusion, looked back up, and Dan did a little fist pump to me with a shit eating grin on his face. My friends realized what just happened a few seconds later and kept passing it around to check it out. It was super cool, but it was so dark before we left that all I knew was that it was a black teardrop-shaped guitar pick. I didn't even think it was really one of his picks until we stepped outside. That's when I saw it was a signature version with gold Disturbed text and his signature on it.
I ended up putting the pick and my ticket stub into a picture frame (after removing a picture from my ex 😆) onto a printed out band picture. I still have it to this day and, in fact, am holding it right now. It was just one of those really cool experiences from a live show that has embedded itself deep into my memory. I'll never forget that concert for that reason, and the fact that they sounded exceptional live.
Your excitement every time you hear a new song is beautiful and contagious. ❤️
Saw Disturbed live awhile ago, David's stage presence is like he addressing the crowd as some sort of Charismatic preacher "My Brothers, My Sisters in metal..." something like that, lol. Hell of a good show.
Disturbed is really the first group using the "growl" that I appreciated as a musical group, and not just a novelty band. Davids singing ability and vocal quality truly amazed me, and though I am 57, the lyrics always hit home. I am very greatful that I have lived at the same time as so many talented musicians, because music is life! Peace.
Growling has been around long before Disturbed came onto the scene, Death Metal has been around since the early 80's.
@@bighomiestevethemetalhead8131 And alot of it was not worth the time in my opinion, too many death metal groups just screamed, and thats noise in my book. Just stating my opinion.
@@manjisaipoe517 I get it, everyone has their own tastes. Clean vocals in Death Metal is a pretty new concept now that bands are blending genres. I personally love having a combination of clean and harsh vocals when listening to Metal.
@@manjisaipoe517 are you familiar with the band Death? One of the most unique OG death metal bands, simply genius musicianship.
I want to recommend to you another sister band created by Chuck Schuldiner (Death's vocalist/lead guitarist RIP) with Bruce Dickinson style vocals.
The band is called Control Denied and I would put it in the Progressive Metal genre, they only made one album before Chuck passed away called "The Fragile Art Of Existence" and it's an incredible experience from start to finish.
I would describe them kinda like "if Iron Maiden made extreme metal", highly recommend giving them a listen if that sounds appealing to you.
My favorite song from Disturbed is Prayer.
Love this whole album. There’s a lot of frustration and anger in the themes, and they helped me vent those emotions.
one of their best. This and ten thousand fists album are PEAK
@@IGarrettI I personally feel Indestructible was their peak, but it could be nostalgia because Indestructible was the first Disturbed album I ever purchased (I bought it at Best Buy the day it was released, I did the same with Slipknot's "All Hope Is Gone" album that same year).
I'd love to see you analyze "Hold on to Memories" from Evolution. I just love the fact that David was inspired to write the lyrics after watching Pixar's "Coco" with his son.
Yes, I can confirm that seeing Disturbed live is really... "communal" and David is just our... "pastor" for my lack of a better word. I was there for the tour opening night in Montreal, and seeing him was one hell of an experience.
He sings like crazy ! and yes, even the old songs like "The Game" still sounds as good as before.
His experience can be seen throughout the concert, it was a great concert. One of my artists in my checklist that is checked now 🤘
Asylum is one of their absolute-musts, especially with the instrumental intro Remnants
Asylum with remnants is SOO daaaaamn good lol
*CORRECT, REMNANTS +ASYLUM IS THE ULTIMATE SONG*
Maybe it's just me, but the studio version should always be the first listen to a song IMO. Music videos are fine too (unless they cut out sections of the song which a few do). It just feels like it's usually the most well put together version and it feels like the intended experience. Live versions are for subsequent viewings. On another note, I love Disturbed, they were the second concert I ever went to, and they played with the band 10 Years, and my favorite band for a long time which split up just a few years ago, Ill Nino. Christian Machado has such a powerful and unique voice with a ton of projection (even live) and it's well worth listening to some of their old songs even if you don't like Nu Metal.
Totally agree on album version. That is the version that the band (and others like engineers and producers) have worked tirelessly to create the exact "thing" they're going for.
And it would help if she listened to the explicit versions!
@@StandUpComedyFan28mhey have in the past but as this is usually a family friendly channel.... "Naughty" words are generally frowned upon.
Also fairly certain that the audio that was analysed was the album version and it was censored in the editing stage.
Additionally- 9.5/10 times you don't lose anything by listening to a clean/radio edit version
I heard "Smoke Weed Everyday" by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre on the radio last week and almost every other word was censored and they said something else at the end. It wasn't the same song, not even close. Ruined all the rhythm and rhyming it was awful. If you have to censor half the song dont even play it on the radio.
Agreed
Your transformation into a metal head has been amazing to watch
I have loved Disturbed since the beginning. I even had the Guy tattooed on me. I am so happy to see that they are getting the respect theyve always deserved!
The way you get excited about the sounds and random words that make up this masterpiece.. I love it
I love the linguistics knowledge you incorporate into your analysis. Mentioning the shadow vowels, code-switching, etc. is such a breath of fresh air as most skip over these details
The song Numb is my favorite on that album. Ripping vocals❤
Undoubtedly my all time favorite Disturbed song. It doesn't get the love that it deserves. Super jealous of your conversation with David!
Inside the fire is one of my all time favorites from disturbed
As someone who was made fun of in school for liking this band, I feel incredibly vindicated to see someone like yourself so thoroughly enjoying it. I always loved this song in particular as well. I still feel embarrassed about having liked Disturbed but it definitely helps to see other people enjoy it as well. Great video!
I saw disturbed in 2006 and i was towards the back of the audience. When The Game played, the mosh pit was so huge i was able to pass through it all the way up to the front row and watch the rest of the show. it was so much fun.
YESSSSS this track is SO underrated!!! you’d have a FIELD DAY listening to basically ALL of their discography. The Animal is amazing, and Haunted or The Night are also amazing!
I hope some day you get the chance to hear Remember by them.
Second Remember! Probably his most beautiful singing from this album
After seeing Disturbed live for a second time, in the Release Athens Festival, I have to say that this song is simply phenomenal live. The energy from the band and everyone around is incredible. Can't wait for your interview with David!
I’ve seen them live a few times (back in 2000, 2003 and then at some point in the early 10’s). They suffered from a lack of 2nd guitarist on any section that had a solo or needed another guitar part. Maybe they use a backing track now but I was disappointed when they were at their peak popularity.
@@DM72513 I can tell you that they have definitely improved in that time, everyone is now a master in their craft, and David's voice sounds better than ever
Saw them at Rockville in 2021, was a very "full circle" moment for me as "Indestructible" was one of the first metal songs I ever intentionally listened to.
probably one of my favorite songs by Disturbed. i remember in 2000 coming home from high school turning on mtv to see what i could find as new music to listen to. the first time i heard Stupify i immediately went to the mall and bought the album. The Sickness is still my favorite album from them but they have a plethora of great songs.
Omg brings back memories. I’ll say this song and voices are probably my faves from that album 🔥🔥
His rhythmic cadence of the short burst syllable syncronicity w/ the guitar jabs is so sharp it's almost like he's rapping.
He is so good.
It's like he is the rythm itself and then instruments come in after he's done singing.
It's more and obvious the more we listen to it.
Their best song in my opinion. Draiman has SUCH a unique way of going soft to hard, from clean to harsh, and the rhythm is so spot on.
I never realised how much the Bass line is highlighted when David hits that pitch shift for the bridge. It creates so much effect
13:10 I got to see them on their first tour back from their 5 year hiatus at the House of Blues in Houston, and I can tell you you definitely aren't wrong. The HoB is a small venue for a band of their caliber, and I think it was chosen for that very reason because it felt more personal with David and the band being so close to everyone across the venue, but despite the fact that it was so small and cramped it was absolutely electric in there.
I literally just finished the conversation you had with David!!! It was one of my favorite ones you've done! I was so freaking excited to see this posted after!!! David's rhythmic precision reminds me of how Brent Smith from Shinedown uses his voice.
I absolutely cannot wait to see this band in a few weeks!
This whole album is incredible especially being their first one.
This song was basically their debut. This album was where "Disturbed" really got big and known from. Back in the early 2000s, this was basically the jam.
Also, the band talked about how they came up with this song. It's about a toxic relationship where you're getting tired of all of the games and are about ready to snap. They still play this song on tours.
Kirk told me that they play this song on every tour, on every set, and it's the most requested live song they perform. Not sure if that's true, but David was pretty stoked I was going to analyze it!
@@TheCharismaticVoiceYes, they do play on every tour since this song is where it all started for them, but I don't know if it's the most requested song, but definitely for sure it's one of them. Also, David Draiman will love it because who wouldn't since you're basically the best at analyzing every song that you react to!
That's interesting because for me it was the fourth song to hit the radio. For me it was Stupify, Voices (by this point I had the CD), Down with the Sickness and then the Game, but it was so late in the radio cycle that it didn't get a lot of radio play since Believe was hitting soon after.
Stupify was the first song I remember getting radio rotation and a video back then but I may be mistaken. Great album.
@@TheCharismaticVoice Such a humble flex. "David was pretty stoked"... T_T
From this album I still really enjoy the opening track “Voices.” I think he has good vocal Melodie’s in it.
This has been one of my favorite songs from them, glad you got to finally hear it.
Seeing both this and Team Time with David made my Friday. And starting with one of my all-time favorite songs. Not just favorite Disturbed songs, but favorite songs. I also very much enjoy just singing along with it.
"Torn" has always been one of his songs that resonated with me, the wailing of the instruments and his voice really carry a message
The giggles were so real in this one. Fantastic. I think Disturbed just found a new fan for life.
one the BEST songs on this CD! It's so damn good. You should really REALLY do "Fear" and "Numb" off this album!
Hell yeah! Those 2 songs are so amaizing. Numb is one of my fav Disturbed songs, though is hard to have a favorite with them, cause they always put our such amazing songs.
The rap breakdown in Fear is so dope.
This whole album is great front to back, but I also really like "Droppin' Plates" which is not a very technical nor emotionally deep song but its more simple and visceral and great for venting when you're cruisin down the highway.
@@BrineliousI 100% agree. Super fun song to listen to and sing along with! Always makes me smile when it shows up on my playlist 😊❤️
There's something very cathartic about screaming "plates on your ass bitch!" At the top of your lungs, preferably with the volume loud enough that your own shitty off key voice doesn't ruin the song haha!
I think you'd be interested by Darkness by Disturbed. It's such a departure from most of their earlier music, and yet such a beautiful piece.
Said it a million times. David Draiman is one of the best vocalists that has ever existed. His vocal emotion is contagious. Especially when Disturbed are played loud. Absolutely amazing band!
There's is something you briefly touch on that David is especially good at doing, and although I was only 8 when I got this album, I was still able to experience what David brings to the table. He does make a lot of sounds that are non-lyrical. But you can still feel the raw emotion. Many times, throughout our lives we have frustrations that we have trouble putting into words, and David gives both the barbaric vocalizations combined with the intellect of putting those grunts into distinct thoughts through his lyricism. He can take a primal emotion and give it some humanity.
Exactly ❤
Love this song. Cannot wait for the full analysis.
I absolutely love your videos. Especially the videos like this one. There's so much emotion in the music and the raw jubilation shown on your face and in your general reaction is so wholesome and adorable. Seeing this in response to music that shaped me as a young teenager in junior high all those years ago just puts a giant smile on my face. The intense giddiness in response to this stuff just fills me with joy.
I've been a fan of your channel for about 2 years now. Videos like this will keep me coming back for as long as you're still working on this channel.
Thank you. You're fucking awesome. ❤
Edit: I would LOVE to see more of this album on your channel.
I've heard a lot of vocal analysis channels and I love yours the most by FAR. I think what draws me in the most is how well you are able to put into words the feelings I get when I hear the music. Things I reacted to and loved, and was not always able to understand exactly what it was. Thank you for giving me the vocabulary to communicate my love for the music (in particular, David Draiman and Disturbed). Fantastic channel!
I saw Disturbed in a small venue in Melbourne Australia about 20 years ago. David wasnt very animated on stage but the power he put into his vocal performance commanded attention. I think David has actually become better over the years - I did wonder how long he would last doing those crazy frys. The full interview shows how insanely disciplined the man is!!!!
To be fair. You're too animated at a Disturbed concert to notice he isn't
I always loved their song 'Prayer'
Having seen them live, I can confirm it is more moving. Especially with their song "A Reason to Fight".
ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!
From their debut album, oh yes!!
Your reactions are amazing, David has such a signature sound with his growls and distortion, but also his incredible story telling with lyrics just blow my mind even now
CANT WAIT FOR THE INTERVIEW
What I love so much about all your videos is the new perspective watching them gives me of the songs. I've listened to Disturbed for years, but always from a guitarists lens, so focussing in on the vocals is a whole different viewpoint to reappreciate the song from. Thanks for all these videos :D
Eddie Berg from Imminence just released a one take performance of their song desolation a few hours ago. They're a swedish metalcore band and a lot of people refer to them as violincore because Eddie also plays the violin along with the vocals. This one take has him doing both together. Lots of mouth movement and shapes. I think you'd really enjoy it.
I'm seeing them on the 13th and i couldn't be more excited. Disturbed got me into metal when i was in middle school and they are still one of my all time favorites. My personal favorite is the night, David's vocals are amazing and the guitar solo blows me away every time
This song in particular and Mudshovel by Staind has some of the best expressions of anger during key moments of the songs that I know of. And one of the most unique things, and something I enjoy most about Disturbed, is his ability to make the pronunciations of his words hit with the beat of the songs so perfectly. It's so sharp and clear. And the way he has taken filler sounds that we've heard many times across all types of music na's, do's, la's, etc and created his own kind of metal version of that with his growls is also amazing.
Darkness by them is a must. Piano, orchestra, and clean singing. It really shows off Davids voice
I concur. Darkness is such a beautiful song made by Disturbed. It often brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it. Both because of the lyrics and the beauty of the overall sound of the song.
Definitely, so beautiful! One of my faves.
@@Micke121 the lyrics hit you in a part of your soul that cant be explained
@@AndrAiaNighthaven its the best song, imo, off the first 3 albums
Yep, the Debut album was 🔥. Saw them on a late night concert television program before they got big. Just like the first time I heard Smells like teen spirit, I knew this band was going to be HUGE! Disturbed, HEAVY AS H*LL! Awesome!
I saw them the very FIRST time they ever played live. In a BAR called Champs on the Southside of Chicago and knew then that they were going to be HUGE. I've seen them 30+ times. 25 of them have been in bars before they were signed. I was a member of their original "Street Crew", which got a shout out on the liner notes of this album.
One of my favourite songs in their entire catalogue! What really hooks me in this one is just how utterly *angry* David sounds. Especially in the bridge, where it seems he's about to go literally insane with anger at the fact that "she" is lying again.
Your reactions are so wonderful to watch! I love to see someone who knows what they're talking about geek out about a topic.
I enjoy watching your reviews and analysis simply because you so clearly love and adore all aspects of music - from the large things like beat, lyrics, and emotion, all the way down to the techniques and intentions behind the minutiae. Seeing you literally giggle with glee over all of that just proves it. Love your videos, please never stop!
I'm a huge Disturbed fan. I feel like you would love "Devour" from the Believe album. It's one that's not talked about much that I feel is absolutely beautiful.
I've always really liked the energy of "Rise" by them
Listened to your interview with David when you posted it. Fantastic interview! Learned so much about him and like him even more. I was so relieved when you let us know that his biopsy came back as benign. Enjoy all your videos!
this song was basically my childhood, soo many memories
Disturbed has been my favorite band since the Ten Thousand Fists album, and I don’t know how to explain it, but your reactions make me feel better about my music taste!
A cool reaction to see would be a live version of Amon Amarth - Put Your Back into the Oar. Not only do they have a rougher sound but the crowds always get into the song.
Literally saw this happen live recently! It was insane, they had thousands of people in the crowd sitting on the ground all rowing it was the craziest pit I have ever seen or at least the funniest one!
disturbed was the first band i saw in concert back when i was 10, absolutely fantastic live
I love how you explain things in detail and how giddy you get on that drop😂. Whaching your vids helps me appreciate some of my favorite artists even more than I did before. Thank you!
My favorite from that album.
☕☺️🇺🇸
I love how much fun you have with these songs sometimes... thank you for being awesome.
[Solo]
This is definitely one of my favorites off The Sickness.
Disturbed - The Light. ❤
David is a beautiful human being. 👌🏻
This has been my favorite Disturbed song since its release. It was easily my favorite song they played live when I saw them as well. Awesome to see you going over this one!
Best Disturbed album. I love each and every song.
Disturbed will have a special place in me. Had them on repeat through Afghanistan. Badass band!
I get to see them live for the first time in August and I'm so hyped. Love hearing your analysis of my favorite band.
Seeing them tonight for the first time!
It’s always so fun to watch her listen to these songs. On top of being a fan of the music it’s enrapturing to have someone with her level of knowledge and expertise break down the song and get just as excited for these songs as I did when I found them.
I wish David would cover more of Genesis - he's like a dark Phil Collins (or anything from Phil, for that matter).
I’d love to hear him do “home by the sea” or “that’s all”
This is my favorite song, this is a great song
Amazing how you are making me "see" a lot of things I've been hearing for years. As always, great analysis Elizabeth!
I'm so excited to see your tea time interview with him! And I'm glad you got to this one. I wore this album out for years and this was one of my most played songs! I tended towards this one and Dropping Plates. ❤
