Disturbed are far more popular than they should be.

for truth

 

[Sic]

ugh, I've seen Disturbed like 3 times. Each more awful than the last.

 

[Lysander]

I saw them once at the Astoria, last year I think. They had the audience going nuts. It's not really my kind of music, but I don't think I've ever seen the Astoria so alive.

I met a woman from a large label afterwards and we seemed to instantly hate each other but got stuck at a table together. It was very awkward.

Beck
The Roots
Crystal Method

Weird, everyone round here is like 'dis who?'. Me and my mates request a disturbed song every week at this metal bar and when it comes on we go nuts, and the rest of the dance floor is like 'wtf is this?'. hmm

I'm going to throw Maximo Park into the mix for a "mainstream" band that don't seem to get much praise but have released two stonking albums and are extremely entertaining live.

if Disturbed came on at a bar I was at, I'd be like "wtf is this!?"

There doesn't seem to be a lot round here. I used to go to loads, but I listen to good metal.

Which bar are you talking about?

Everyone laps it up at the rock clubs I go to, they play them without fail every single week

 

[Christo]

The Super Furry Animals/Gruff Rhys is very underrated imo. They have made some absolutely suberb stuff.

 

[Carzy]

Beck
The Roots
Crystal Method

"Critically" Beck is absolutely lauded upon (and rightfully so). I'd say you're probably right that he hasn't been as successful commercially as he deserves to be.

pelican
beecher

Pelican would probably be better rated if their last album wasn't such a piece of ****

Beecher split a while ago, otherwise they'd probably have been pretty big

Black Sheep Bar in croydon

Black Sheep Bar in croydon

Isn't there one nearby called the Pig and Whistle... or Whig and Pestle... or something. That was always full of slappers, that place.

I feel for you. Disturbed a band who are truly, unforgivably dire. Quite how they are as big as they are will forever remain a mystery to me. Especially since Nu metal is dead now.

 

[Andybtsn]

Distubed new album rocks!

WOOO!

 

[Welshy]

Actually I've got one, Starsailer. Haven't heard from them in years, wonder where they've gone...
