@@vancomycinb I also really like shout. But land of confusion has always been my favorite disturbed song, or at the very least it was my first favorite of theirs
Love this song. This made me an instant fan of Disturbed back in the day. You mentioned the pull in the music to come in close and listen to the war drums. For me it was the softly spoken invitation. "Do you feel that?" Great way to make one lean in and ask, "What?" Then he just roars in your face. Shivers galore lol. Wake up, got a serious message for you today. Makes one want to roar with the same angst. Great song.
I remember being at the park as a kid and one of the older kids had a boombox with this album playing and it blew my tiny mind 🤣🤣 and never stopped expanding
When I saw this band in concert years ago the one thing I was astounded by (besides Dave's vocals) was how absolutely heavy they had the bass turned up on the sound system. I was sitting near the back of the stadium and the bass was literally pounding my chest like a physical fist, it was unlike anything I have ever experienced in a live show.
I remember listening to this CD as an adolescent, sitting with my boom box on my bed for the first time and being utterly frozen, not knowing what I was experiencing. I was a classically trained violist, and Disturbed kept me company when my only friend was my viola. Around that same time my dad died, and I was enveloped in Disturbed's music. They were such an intense influence and even saved my life a few times. I'm glad people are listening more now
Pinch harmonics have more of a squeal to them. These are natural harmonics that you can play simply by lightly touching a string over a particular fret and picking it, rather than pressing it to the fretboard. Cancels out the typical vibration but lets the harmonic ring out.
I’m not a hardcore fan of Disturbed but this song has a special meaning for me. I had a brother who I rode with and this was one of his favorite songs. When we’d be drinking and partying Reddog would play this song about 10-15 times. This song and “Let the bodies hit the floor” were his favorites. He was shot and killed several years ago but every time I hear this song I can see him jamming out... RIP Reddog.
Hell yeah this song awakened the sickness in me, been a big Disturbed fan ever since I heard it for the first time. The first album is a real moment in time for nu-metal at its peak - on the back of KoRn’s Issues album and the first Slipknot album, this and Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory really brought the style into the mainstream. The Game, Fear and Numb are absolutely stonking tracks and Stupify was a big hit.
David Draiman...just an amazing voice!! A powerful yet soulful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion/vocal fry and back on a dime, which is incredibly difficult to do and he makes it look so damn easy! He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before........just hauntingly beautiful and pure tonal properties to it! An awesome talent. Loved your reaction and your take on the performance. Geebz, if you want to hear something awesome from David....listen to his collaboration with Nita Strauss (on guitar) called "Dead Inside" ....it's unbelievable! .....and quite heavy. Think you'll love it!
Love when people that are only familiar with the radio edit of this song hear the album version. Was at a D1 college hockey game where this was playing during warm up. I was watching the soundboard area once I realized they had the album version, they didn't get to the mute button in time.
@@XRLostCause From what I've read, it's a metaphor for the way society treats those we consider lower- or second-class. Most of Disturbed's lyrics carry the theme of revolutionary upheaval on the part of the downtrodden. I don't think it has anything to do with mommy issues or abuse.
I never thought to listen to a Break down of this song, but you brought to light so much I never paid attention to or even understood! Never thought I'd hear of a composer break down this genre.
Find an uncut version of Stupefy. The end of the song has those dark notes you heard in the verse. It plays as a segway from Stupefy and Down With The Sickness (Stupefy plays before Down With The Sickness on the album) and sets the tone for the song, building up to the drum intro.
I highly recommend the Sound of Silence. David goes well above on that one. Way, way way above. I don't know if it'd fit on your channel, but it's amazing.
When Nu-metal was the top of the alternate rock stations...This band was up with the best. I listened to this band regularly in its day. You need to go back deeper into the prog rabbit hole....so many new releases atm.
Big problem, Disturbed isn't nu-metal. Even Dave hates that label because they don't rap or use turntables. Alt Rock or just Rock would fit better. They're closer to Pantera than Linkin Park.
Geebz. Glad to see Disturbed. This song was a gateway for me and probably others into finding this great band and their work. I personally enjoy the newer material. Give a listen to “ The Night” off their album indestructible. The guitar solo is technical, but still tasteful!!! Love the content!!
I am SOOO glad he did the non edited version. thank you soo much, most people don't realize and react to the edited version, just cause it's possibly the first one they find and don't know.
This is easily one of the iconic 2000s song for me and A LOT of people. This whole album is their best work and was a huge influence for me at that young age. THANK YOU for doing the real unedited version because it is just so good. Despite this song being such a memeable song because of his signature vocalization, I will always love it.
I was just thinking the other day that I'm surprised you haven't gotten around to a lot more Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold, etc..., Geebz. I feel that I classify them and a few other bands in the same grouping in my mind, because I grew up listening to them before a lot of other bands, even 70's, 80's and grunge bands. If you get around to Disturbed again anytime soon, their singles are killer, but my favorite track of theirs has to be _Torn._ It's off of Indestructible, and has powerful vocals from David, a sick riff, and the best guitar solo I have heard from them. It is a spectacular track. Thanks for everything, Geebz! Keep on rockin', man, awwwright! P.S. - I kind of forgot how much I like this song. I really placed it in the "meme" song category after so much of the media got to Disturbed about the sound, but it's a fantastic tune!
Ya I grew up listening to disturbed as well but eventually moved on once they got overplayed in memes and social media. Kinda like nightmare from avenged sevenfold becoming so popular. The indestructible album was a masterpiece for its time IMO
Watching your videos in the past few months I've learned that you enjoy being taken on a musical journey, as well as learning about new, less known bands who do amazing things and deserve more recognition in the process. I can't recommend the songs Embers by Elder, The Mountain by Disillusion and The Time Traveller by Pyramaze enough in that vein. They're long songs and I know covering those in a video can be exhausting, but they're well worth the listen, and each and every one of those bands deserves to be heard so much more!
I wonder if you've listened to Dir En Grey before? They're a Japanese rock group. I would recommend Vinushka for your first listen because I think you would really enjoy the 1. composition of the song, 2. the vocalist's range, and 3. The BASS. you don't have to make a video of it, I just thought it would make your day. Personally Toguro is my favorite song of theirs.
great song! that whole first album was killer. they were very hit or miss from there on. also, I saw them live a couple times and they just didn’t do it for me.
@@familiarsting4108 the couple times I saw them were outdoor events and they just didn’t sound good. was it the venues? maybe….but other bands sounded good.
Those are natural harmonics in the chorus. He’s basically just holding his fingers right above the metal on the frets and only pushing his fingers down enough to make contact with the strings, but not enough for them to ring out as a normal note would.
STONER rock suggestions: 1. Witchrider-Wind up 2. Kryptograf-New Colossus 3. Big Scenic Nowhere- Hidden Wall 4. Witchrider- Black 5. Yellow Devil Sause- Zulu 6. Puta Volcano- Bird 7. Villagers of Ioannina City- Zvara 8. Nightstalker- The dog that no-one wanted 9. Big Business- The Moor you know 10. The Last Drive- Always the Sun 11. Movovine- Odd 12. 1000mods- Electric Carve 13. 1000mods- Vintage 14. Dinosaur Jr- I walk for miles 15. Graveyard- Uncomfortably numb 16. Colour Haze- Aquamaria 17. King Buffalo- Hebetation 18. Villagers of Ioannina City- Nova 19. Naxatras- Waves 20. Nightstalker- Children of the Sun Two notes please, first the songs above are in the wider area of stoner/ hard scene. Lastly I haven't included obvious band choices. Thanks🖖
Someone may have mentioned this already, but the harmonics he is doing in this song aren't pinch harmonics. These ones are natural harmonics. Instead of pinching the string with his picking hand's thumb, he uses his fretting hand's pinky to lightly touch the string at the 5th fret while picking it. You may already know what a natural harmonic is if you play guitar, which I think you said you did in another video. This particular song is using the B string and G string for those harmonics. For each chorus, first it's twice on the B and the second time it's once on the B and once on the G, except the last chorus he doesn't do the harmonics. Hope that makes sense.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but i remember that i had to downtune my guitar down to drop C#, even though there is not a single instance of an C# chord. The mainriff is in Eb, but the natural harmonics would not sound right otherwise when i covered it.
@@infinitetimewasting7491 yes the tuning for the song is C#. The harmonics wouldn’t sound right unless you had the guitar tuned down. But yea the song itself doesn’t go lower than the 2nd fret in that tuning
Hey Geebz, don't forget about Karnivool, Dillinger Escape Plan, Animals As Leaders and Car Bomb! Hope you can revisit at least one of those bands sometime soon.
This proves you really don't pay attention to the lyrics and treat the vocals as another instrument, I was waiting for a little reaction in the breakdown where the singer starts ranting about his mom hahaha
love the Disturbed break downs as a pure listener. They're my favorite band will always enjoy their break down videos, would love to see Perfect Insanity reaction one of there lesser know song and my favorite song ever. Thanks for the great video!
This is the first song I ever heard from them and ran right out and bought the CD (because for the most part you still had to leave the house for music 😂)
Well, this is exciting, you are having an influence on my listening! I caught the "menacing note" before you mentioned it. Never noticed it before, heard this song so many times, thanks for the tutelage!
When you paused at the bridge and said you were sorry I nodded IRL and smiled because (1) I knew you'd pause and that you'd know it would kill us on the inside but you'd do it anyway (2) you take it back when you un-pause which is so important Thank you for more awesome content dear Geebz
Let’s hear your take on Evil Angel by Breaking Benjamin! There’s some really interesting bass and guitar parts that I think you’d appreciate. Rock on, Geebz 🤘
Oh, this is awesome. Great band! When you weave back into the prog scene you should definitely do a Steve Hackett track. Man has had such a prolific career after leaving Genesis. There are so many tracks from him that I'd love to hear broken down by you! I would suggest maybe: Ace Of Wands, A Dark Night in Toytown, Sleepers, are all great!
Used to hear this song at our local metal joint nearly every weekend. Trying to sing along and hitting the Ooh Wa-a-a-a at the right timing, leaves you with a great feeling of accomplishment :)
Geebz, I already mentioned this a few times, YOUR reactionvids are freakin' solid, entertaining and oozing with knowledge! I watch alot of reactionvideos out of curiosity but 95% is uninteresting, dull and unnatural. (Fabricated) So keep it up man! 🤘! About DISTURBED, their debutrecord was pretty good, kinda dark too but the follow-ups just didn't move me at all. Suggestions: MESHUGGAH - i (One track EP) THE FIVE HUNDRED - Walls of Jericho Cheers from The Netherlands!
Thank you for doing this one, such a great track. The whole album is fantastic, Believe is also amazing. Love their old stuff. You said you were going back to groups you’re done, hope you revisit Sevendust, they deserve your attention. Mahalo!
Funny thing is those noises wasn't originally apart of the song he added it in during a practice session and the whole band was like what the hell was that then he just said let's roll with it
Clenching Fists of Dissent and/or Farewell to Arms would be more interesting from a decomposition stance maybe? Really just the whole of the Blackening 😂
IDK about war drums but they're definitely primal. Like a song for a caveman. Yeah your video link can be posted anywhere, which still comes back to here.
You liked this one Geebz! You don't often move like that when listening to a song, it was more than just counting. It really is a fantastic song, but I listened to it differently being with you today.
Great track. Thanks for reacting to full full version and not the radio edit. It makes a huge difference in this case. I really hope you can get around to a reaction Faith No More. They were a huge influence to many bands of this era. I would suggest "The Real Thing" as a first track. While it is not on the first album the band released, it is from their first album with lead Mike Patton, who you reacted to with one of his other bands, Mr. Bungle.
Also, speaking of time changes, Disturbed’s song “Deify” has the verses in 6/4 with the chorus in 4/4. It’s an interesting song from a composition standpoint
Thanks for the video, great reaction as always :) I would really love to see you react to some Ghost, maybe "Ghuleh/Zombie Queen", "Cirice" or "Ritual" \m/
Heyyy Geebz!!! I discovered your channel recently and I have to say that your reviews are the most detailed and my new favorite of all the different music reviewers out there!!! It's an absolute treat to hear the perspective you share! Anyways, to get to my point, I would absolutely be thrilled if you could take the time to review my favourite song of all time since the release a year and a half ago!! I have seen you review some of my other favorite songs (Reptile, Of Matter), and if you could do a review of the song DARK by INVENT, ANIMATE, I think you will understand why I believe it will be my absolute favorite song forever!!! I truly believe it will blow you away with how perfect it is in every way! 🔥 Much Love my Brother!! 🙏❤
Fun fact at the beginning when he does his signature sound the band did not know that that was coming he just let it out one day in practice because the drums felt tribal everybody was shocked but they loved it
This song is actually much more serious than the wa-hahaha (which is awesome by the way) and the subject of child abuse and how it perpetuates the cycle of abuse is super “in your face” here.
This song always brings me back to old Counter Strike days, you joined a server with custom shit and they would play the intro of this song. Such a banger.
minuta 2:03 YES! is the scream signature disturbed song ... But I guess he is not the only one having a scream, KORN has some signature scream, even Tool Has it and Maynard move that to APC and used in collaborations like Deftones and RATM... and then you have the whole family you can tell Chino moreno also has some signature scream and don't tell me Zack de la Rocha does not have signature screams. it was like an organic stuff ... in the circle of friends?
Disturbed's cover of land of confusion by genesis is amazing. You should definitely check that out sometime
The band “In Flames" covered it first and it's not bad, maybe better than Disturbed. Check it out 🤘🏻.

Agreed, haven't looked at the tab but def natural harmonics
Yes, these are natural harmonics; he uses pinch, or artificial, harmonics in Stricken.
The "Middle Eastern" lilt in his vocals you mentioned may have been influenced by David Draiman's training as a cantor earlier in his life.

Just rolled right through the "guts" of the song. Geebz: "I don't pay attention to the lyrics." Good for you man!
Yeah Disturbed is a bit of a mixed bag, gotta be a bit picky on what bits to appreciate if you don't want to do yourself some damage.
Yeah, if he doesn't say the most possible "Twitter appropriate" response then theres always a chance something goes awry to say the least.
This entire album is Summer 2006 for me. I can't listen to it without being transported back there. Good times.

Geebz, I already mentioned this a few times, YOUR reactionvids are freakin' solid, entertaining and oozing with knowledge! I watch alot of reactionvideos out of curiosity but 95% is uninteresting, dull and unnatural. (Fabricated)
So keep it up man! 🤘!
About DISTURBED, their debutrecord was pretty good, kinda dark too but the follow-ups just didn't move me at all.
Suggestions:
MESHUGGAH - i (One track EP)
THE FIVE HUNDRED - Walls of Jericho
Cheers from The Netherlands!
They use natural harmonics, not the artificial kind on this track. I like your insight on my beloved songs. Thank you.
A revisit to some The Mars Volta would be great thanks Geebz.
Thank you for doing this one, such a great track. The whole album is fantastic, Believe is also amazing. Love their old stuff. You said you were going back to groups you’re done, hope you revisit Sevendust, they deserve your attention. Mahalo!
Funny thing is those noises wasn't originally apart of the song he added it in during a practice session and the whole band was like what the hell was that then he just said let's roll with it
This is kinda paraphrased from a live wire interview he did
Please react to Machine Head! Song list:
"Imperium"
"Davidian"
"Halo"
Thank you!
Locust.
Darkness within
Clenching Fists of Dissent and/or Farewell to Arms would be more interesting from a decomposition stance maybe?
Really just the whole of the Blackening 😂
@@eggthespacedick I’d have to agree
Imperium and Davidian. Yes. Both these songs are definitely in my top five Machine head songs.
IDK about war drums but they're definitely primal. Like a song for a caveman. Yeah your video link can be posted anywhere, which still comes back to here.
Oh yes! This is a good one! Much more main stream. Everyone knows this song for sure. And it's a giant hook bomb 💣🤘🤙
You liked this one Geebz! You don't often move like that when listening to a song, it was more than just counting. It really is a fantastic song, but I listened to it differently being with you today.
Just a killer album, takes me back to being 20 working on my 79 camaro.
The next disturbed song you should do is 10,000 fists.
By far my favourite song by them
Naaaah. Rise. That guitar riffs on that song is underrated
Please do Between the buried and me - Silent Flight Parliament
Great track. Thanks for reacting to full full version and not the radio edit. It makes a huge difference in this case.
I really hope you can get around to a reaction Faith No More. They were a huge influence to many bands of this era. I would suggest "The Real Thing" as a first track. While it is not on the first album the band released, it is from their first album with lead Mike Patton, who you reacted to with one of his other bands, Mr. Bungle.
"Numb" by these guys is a fucking tune 🤘
Also, speaking of time changes, Disturbed’s song “Deify” has the verses in 6/4 with the chorus in 4/4. It’s an interesting song from a composition standpoint
Awesome!
Please also react to the song 'Hollow Life' by Korn
Please do Falling Snow by Agalloch
Can we get some more Godsmack, Voodoo, Bulletproof, Under Your Scars...anything from their top 10 or 15
Until Then. A beautiful song.
Thanks for the video, great reaction as always :) I would really love to see you react to some Ghost, maybe "Ghuleh/Zombie Queen", "Cirice" or "Ritual" \m/
Or "From The Pinnacle To The Pit", "Faith", "Year Zero" or "Secular Haze."
For your last 30 days I recommend Overburdened!
Brings me right back to middle school ahh I've missed disturbed I haven't listened to them in a few years
Definitely check out Thornhill - Where We Go When We Die. They sound a lot like TesseracT and Northlane
I would coom for this Thornhill is incredible
BERRIED ALIVE - STRAWBERRY SERENITY
🤯🍓🔥🤯🍓🔥🤯🍓🔥🤯🍓🔥🤯🍓
Heyyy Geebz!!! I discovered your channel recently and I have to say that your reviews are the most detailed and my new favorite of all the different music reviewers out there!!! It's an absolute treat to hear the perspective you share!
Anyways, to get to my point, I would absolutely be thrilled if you could take the time to review my favourite song of all time since the release a year and a half ago!!
I have seen you review some of my other favorite songs (Reptile, Of Matter), and if you could do a review of the song DARK by INVENT, ANIMATE, I think you will understand why I believe it will be my absolute favorite song forever!!!
I truly believe it will blow you away with how perfect it is in every way! 🔥
Much Love my Brother!! 🙏❤
You'll love Here to stay by Korn.
Dan was such an underrated guitarist from that era, riff machine
Very much agreed!🤘🤘
You should react to stricken
Fun fact at the beginning when he does his signature sound the band did not know that that was coming he just let it out one day in practice because the drums felt tribal everybody was shocked but they loved it
Today I heard new layers and notes to this song I've been listening to since years. I like early Disturbed A LOT. Thanks Geebz 🤟
CHASE THOSE NUMBERS! Love the decomps, can't wait for more Radiohead
I’d imagine people have requested this before but I’d love to see a reaction for Nuclear Power Trio. Really enjoy your work pal!
I have to suggest RISHLOO. Feathergun in the garden of the sun
Hey Geebz, please do Remember, Asylum, The Game, Guarded by these guys.
awesome, can you do my curse or holy diver by killswitch engage
This song is actually much more serious than the wa-hahaha (which is awesome by the way) and the subject of child abuse and how it perpetuates the cycle of abuse is super “in your face” here.
Should have been Stupify - so much more interesting!
Didn’t really get into upon release, but I must say I have a new found appreciation for it.
Awwwright!!🤙
This song always brings me back to old Counter Strike days, you joined a server with custom shit and they would play the intro of this song. Such a banger.
Those aren't pinch harmonics using the edge of his thumb, those are natural harmonics with a fast mute on each.
Would love to see a reaction to "My Famed Disappearing Act" by Thank you Scientist.
minuta 2:03 YES! is the scream signature disturbed song ... But I guess he is not the only one having a scream, KORN has some signature scream, even Tool Has it and Maynard move that to APC and used in collaborations like Deftones and RATM... and then you have the whole family you can tell Chino moreno also has some signature scream and don't tell me Zack de la Rocha does not have signature screams. it was like an organic stuff ... in the circle of friends?
If you do another Disturbed song, do Stricken.
