No doubt about it; technicality behind guitar theatrics has increased so much over the recent decades. Hell, even Disturbed's own approach has become so much more complex. I remember when some douche was bitching about how their riffs were simple with no solos back when Sickness was released. And now Don's putting out some real challenging material.
Dan is one of the best of modern metal along with jim root and synyster gates. btw am I the only one who can hear an adam jones feel in the warrior intro?
Anybody notice 11:11 ? These guys are very awake. Love Disturbed since high school. TOOL Numbers, timing... a new thing I got into. Theoria Apophis, what is a feild ?
I just have to say people: Beatles and other previous generation artists have some of the easiest songs to play, but does that mean they suck? HELL FUCKING NO!! So when you all argue about what sucks because what's easy, just remember that. :). BTW I like Beatles too, as well as Black Sabbath. DISTURBED1 for Life XD.
I paid him to fix my SUV...at his shop... I paid him...thought I was driving home in my fixed vehicle...and the check engine light comes on....i try to call Dan Donegan..at Motor Services back ...after just paying him $3600 to fix my car...and his number is suddenly DISCONNECTED! SO...NOY ONLY DOES HE PLAY GUITAR...HE PLAYS HIS CUSTOMERS!!! IM SCARED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK !!!! AS SHADY AS THE LARGEST OAK TREE ON EARTH!!!!! NUMBER IS DISCONNECTED WITHIN 20 MINUTES OF PULLING OFF FROM THE SHOP!!!!!
Yes, I am a wimp because I play heavier/more technical music that require alternate picking, nice to know that ignorant people reside on RUclips, not that I didn't already know that though, just more of a reassurance.
This confirms what I figured out when I finally put up together a solo that didn't sound bland and vanilla, a solo comes within the moment and has to be seized to become song material
@ThieleM No, not bad at all. My Sam Ash has a couple of them. One of them is trans black with a Floyd and the other is like the one he has here. Both play like butter under your fingers and sound badass.
except for "tight" everything was spelled correctly ;) since i dont have to measure myself up to some internet kid i wont bother arguing about that, so : better than me? probably... but that wasnt the point (your comment is invalid) as good as him? i really really really doubt it...but youre welcomed to prove me wrong
Oh thx!! What would I do without you? I didn't know that sarcasm isn't allowed. In the future I will avoid such word games because of people who are as genius as you sir
best schecter of all time c1 classic, sounds like the guitar god would play and it was a neck thru, all schecter sounds good except the solo 6, doesnt sound like a schecter to me

This is why disturbed is so good. They play to the needs of the song and they write thoughtful percussive parts.
one of the most underrated
This is why I believe Dan is my fav guitarist ever (y)
Technically is awesome, is fast, he makes a really good sweep picking, tapping, he mix it, down and alternate pocking, finger bends, it's a machine
...you must be his mom
I would think that someone who plays heavy music like Dan would have an evil looking metal guitar. But his signature schecter is just gorgeous!
HE MAKES BENDING HIGH STRINGS LOOK SO EASY! MY FINGERS ALWAYS GET STUCK ON OTHER STRINGS
If you think thats hard, look up Marty Friedman. That guy is nuts at the guitar and at bending too.
+Adam Molina true
+Adam Molina I've liked Marty Friedman since his Megadeth years. But if we're talking bends, you can't beat Zakk Wylde. That guy is the bending GOD.
Jimi!
Yet he is very underrated and a badass Riffer n Soloist.
Downpicking is the best way to play metal! \m/ Tiring, but cool!
Dan is the man
...but was he born one?
Dan is phenomenal. He's such an underrated Guitar player
Dan is one of the best of modern metal along with jim root and synyster gates.
btw am I the only one who can hear an adam jones feel in the warrior intro?
Im a big Mick Thomson fanboy, buy yea xD
He is pretty creative too, his solos are amazing, with "The night" being one of my favorite
+Deadwing the night solo is great
Chris because of drop c maybe?
If you learned how to play guitar by learning Metallica riffs like the majority of us metalheads then downpicking any of that wouldnt be a problem lol
Anybody notice 11:11 ?
These guys are very awake. Love Disturbed since high school.
TOOL
Numbers, timing... a new thing I got into. Theoria Apophis, what is a feild ?
I love ghs boomers, those r the strings I use lol :) they r amazing strings
my hand would be shaking holding that mic.
He’s underrated
WWWOOOOOWWW 😲😲😲😲😲😲 an awesome 2 minutes. Such a down to earth guy. Amazing. 💚💚💚
@ThieleM It's his signature model. It's called the Maya, after his daughter.
Looks like a Chicago Blackhawks jersey in the background.
Hell yeah. Disturbed is from the south side of Chicago.
Hey Dan can you... oh... i dunno.... DROP THE PRICE ON YOUR FUCKING GUITAR!!!!!!
Dylan T I don't think Dan controls the MSRP of the products with his name on it
he doesnt control the price
I just have to say people: Beatles and other previous generation artists have some of the easiest songs to play, but does that mean they suck? HELL FUCKING NO!!
So when you all argue about what sucks because what's easy, just remember that. :).
BTW I like Beatles too, as well as Black Sabbath.
DISTURBED1 for Life XD.
He's awesome!
That explains why your songs go great with DB montages
Such a great tone 🔥
Sick ass guitar
DAMN THAT DOWN PICKING
I paid him to fix my SUV...at his shop...

I love that guitar.
@Spermwhales93
The Maya was the name of his Washburn. This guitar is just called the Dan Donnegan
Zzzzzzz Hey what... ZZzzzzz

4:10 to 4:29 is great moment.
This confirms what I figured out when I finally put up together a solo that didn't sound bland and vanilla, a solo comes within the moment and has to be seized to become song material
Gotta love the signature model sales practice lol 😆 other than that overpriced bs good interview

best schecter of all time c1 classic, sounds like the guitar god would play and it was a neck thru, all schecter sounds good except the solo 6, doesnt sound like a schecter to me
That schecter look like a weird hybrid between a tele and a firebird or jag or some other longer body guitar...
Nice video, I enjoyed it.
Oh yeah, if you guys don't have anything nice to say, just don't say anything.
I still wonder why Dan left PRS....
i play an original Ultra III i love it, it kinda plays like a sized up, souped up tele. Mine is extremely heavy.
@TheMACcar Normally, the Fleur de Lys is a symbol of French Royalty. What it means to him... I don't know lol
Damn he downpicks most of that, my wrist would be finished if I downpicked it xD
@hideki12345 and the el diablo pickup!
Actually, I didn't say I was better than him. I said I could easily play that.
It's nice to know that terrible spelling still resides on youtube as well.
They are awesome I have albums of Disturbed
YES YES YES! UFC is the best sport there will ever be!
@000acr000 when youre playing for 20+ years, that should be easy
Drop C and drop C# is the only tuning he uses xD
@jonthorsigmunds what did he comment?? its been removed...
@Henry14arsenal2007 True that haha, 17 more years to go!
such a tight tone o.O must be a 060 on bottom atleast
Are Dan's hands really as big as they look in this video!?! Nice interview Jason.
no, it is just a product of your imagination
TheMrZanshin its all an illusion
It's all an illusion he's really 4'6
TheMrZanshin they're
Czanek Shadows then that means David is 3'8 lol
@karbetal the guitar god wood play wood be a Gibson :D
actually i didnt say that either ;) is said "as good as"
@Mohamed636
LOL best comment I've seen for a while!
This guy is awesome
Cool, I didn't know Dan switched to Shecter.
I love his pedal, the weapon
@krispatel1 Right, they're Butt Metal.
Why did he have to grow his hair long
Not a bad looking Schecter
thank you captain obvious ^^
what kind of pedal he used ?
@000acr000 17,5 for me >_>
RESPECT...........
@guerri89 neck through
*would* and *would*
