this has been my favorite Disturbed song since it came out. it was partly inspired by the death of david draiman’s grandfather. he was raised in an Orthodox Jewish home, and had trained to be a Synagogue Cantor (the person who sings the service’s songs of prayer) for almost 20 years and was close to being ordained as a Rabbi when he joined Disturbed. when David quit his job as a healthcare administrator (dude is wicked smart and triple majored in business, political science, and philosophy in college earning bachelor’s degrees in all 3 in the same amount of time most people earn 1… but i digress) to be in Disturbed full-time his grandfather disowned him. When he found out his grandfather was dying there was no time to get to Israel to say his piece/say goodbye the way he wanted to. this song is both a conversation between David and G-d, basically saying “come at me bro” and a message to his grandfather that he didn’t abandon his faith by doing music full time, he just found a new way to practice it (“let me enlighten you, this is the way i pray”). as a Cantor he quite literally used songs as prayers and as a vocalist needing to speak to G-d and his now-deceased grandfather he used this song to do the same thing. i have a tattoo of a staff from this sheet music that wraps around and down my forearm. it’s the vocal melody that corresponds to the lyric “let me enlighten you, this is the way i pray” because music is also my chosen form of prayer. sorry for the long-winded comment… but yeah… it’s hard to properly express my thoughts after coming off an overnight double shift as a nurse 😬
Holy crap! That was a long and most enjoyable read! I LOVE your tattoo without needing to see it. Since you’re a nurse, hopefully you’ll understand what I’m going to say. Fair warning… I betcha it’s gonna be way longer than your read! Lol First of all I’m very similar to you. Not a nurse, but was a medic and worked in a hospital for 12 years on the hospitals trauma team. Went to university and studied my degree in biology/zoology. Gave up people and switched to animals. 😉 I did animal rescue release. Taught biology zoology classes to young children over the summer. I also worked for wildlife and parks. Here’s where I’ll skip over a bunch of stuff and go straight to. I was born with a rare, genetic disease called Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Protein deficiency disease I was not a carrier, I had it full-blown. I had 2 very ugly… Very dangerous mutated alleles. IDK if you know what A1ATD is because it’s extremely rare (I am the only person w A1 in my state and the surrounding states)but it’s systematically shuts down and destroys every organ that sloughs off and has to replace cells. So obviously, lungs & liver are going to go first. For me, it was my uterus. Then I got premature COPD in my early 30s. Then I developed cirrhosis. I’m not sure where you work in the hospital, but everything that could go wrong did go wrong when my liver went to crap. Hepatic Encephalopathy, two years with an ammonia elevation so high I have dementia. Esophageal varices, Constant comas. Ascites so badly. It tore my abdominal muscles and gave me an umbilical hernia overnight. I LITERALLY developed a 3rd kidney on my right side. I guess my disease thought I might need a little extra. Which I do because my kidneys are shot from all the diuretics. I also have pancreatitis. In 2017, I was kicked off the transplant list for good with a meld score of 39… 40 meaning dead. I was given 3 to 6 months to live. Leave on Palliative care, Call us when you’re ready for hospice. Obviously this is because I was and still am, in end stage liver failure…. permanently I guess?? NOBODY in the hx of End stage cirrhosis lives that long. Literally the doctors and specialist and researchers can find nobody. Mind you this is not a praise God that I am alive. I am not well. I am not cured. I am still actively dying. And the longer i live with cirrhosis, the more horrible conditions I develop as a result of it. OK, Now, that being sad, I used to be really apathetic regarding God. I literally had to go sit in the forest and observe all the beauty in nature, or I feared I’d become a complete atheist. I found God in nature & in all that inhabited it. HERE is where, Finally, Disturbed comes in. All my life I’ve had a LOW voice. I didn’t care enough about it to investigate just how low it was. Always been told my voice is abrasive. That it can be heard all the way down the block. basically, they were telling me I need to learn to speak more sweetly… More softly. So having all the time in the world on my hands due to dying I said why not? Might as well train myself to sing like a songbird. One day, I was on RUclips searching, vocal instructors,I needed to learn to speak more soothingly, softly. Only how to growl, scream and sing in death metal popped up first as I search for vocal lessons. I don’t have to tell you what happened next, but singing softly went out the window immediately. I Found out I sang in Basso Profundo. I quickly figured out David Draiman and I have VERY similar voices. Mines a little lower OK it’s a lot lower than his, especially when I talk. David’s voice is brighter. He has a lovely tamber. I drone. HOWEVER , I can raise it to sing along with him. It’s absolutely beautiful and it’s fun. It wasn’t until I started putting every lyric to every song to memory that I begin to talk to God through music as well. I absolutely love “PRAYER.” it has meant many things at many different times to me. I too, have begun to use music as a way to speak to God. Death metal to be precise. I’m certain God would prefer I use something a little more ethereal, but for now he’s got a German girl who growls beautiful music! Dammit, I love David Draiman. he has a beautiful mind a beautiful soul and a beautiful voice. What a beautiful inspiration to have.
Disturbed is 1 of those bands with their sound that you know it’s them typically from a same continuous style- some may say “it just sounds like another Disturbed album”, well that’s kinda why they’re so good. They’re for sure 1 of the best sounding bands live no matter the venue. They’re excellent musicians
David Draiman’s voice is amazing. This album, Believe, is my favorite Disturbed album. To me, it’s their most technical, musically creative & vulnerable project. Every song is 🔥
The way I have always viewed this song is a man who is speaking back and forth to god, and/or mocking him, by saying things like "Another dream that will never come true just to compliment your sorrow, another life that I've taken from you." So the man has become so fed up with it that he begins to welcome the pain and suffering, i.e. "Living just isn't hard enough, burn me alive inside." This song always get me pumped up and feeling unstoppable, it always makes the bad things in life seem less significant. Thanks for reacting to my request guys.
For me it's always been ironical. "Living just isn't hard enough.....take everything away." Reminds me as long as i have things that haven't been taken then life really isn't that hard. I listened to this a lot when my husband died.
They have a song called Voices that I have always loved jamming out to. There is a 8 second or so just straight up guitar jam solo. You have to hear it to know and when you hear that part you will know it is that part.
Nu Metal as a term was coined first, and was used for bands like KoRn, and Rap Metal was definitely used for distinguish bands who were more obvious with their rap influence. It helps to distinguish bands like Limp Bizkit and Gryp, from other bands like Slipknot who obviously swing heavier on the metal side of the pendulum.
7:03 I have no idea what shape that is on the album cover, but I would always be mesmerized by it every time I listened to this back in high school. Disturbed always has cool album covers, I would say 10,000 Fists is my favorite Disturbed album cover, followed by the one for Indestructible.
Hey guys, about time you guys reacted to more disturbed 🤘🤘 one of my favorites,I've been a fan of disturbed since I heard this.Soooo many awesome songs to choose from, you can't go wrong 🎶🤘🎶🤘 A reason to fight & hold on to memories are completely different to this & sound of silence, David draiman is one of the best, can sing anything 🤘🤘
The emblem is a combination of symbols from various faiths. One of my favorite covers by Disturbed other than "Sound of Silence" is "Land of Confusion" originally done by the band Genesis
It has already been said in a comment, but the symbol is a combination of each members. Faith, this song is about losing faith and also, I believe it speaks heavily to how people constantly have to balance faith in their lives.
I never payed attention to the lyrics in full. This was great. Brought me back to the best time of my life. 99 to early 07. Soooooo many concerts. Downside was that was when I got hooked on "partying" now I can enjoy concerts more because I can remember them the next day.
For a more mellow Disturbed "Hol on to the Memories" My fav song by DIsturbed is "The Light" The first few albulms definately some of heir best/ The mellow out a bit You can really hear those who have influenced their music.
So underrated, this was my favorite as a middle schooler on the school bus listening to this on a cd player with anti skip technology, which was all the rage at the time. If you know you know
gosh i know this song is one of their most popular ones but it’s still one of their best, if not THEIR best! i’ve listened to every disturbed song like a million times but this song just hits different
The music video for this song had some "explosion" scenes. It was banned right after 9/11. The video for The Vengeful One was also banned shortly after being released because it showed newscasters being killed & that was the time when the female reporter was shot on air. Erie how the videos came out and then things actually happened similar to the videos.
This is my favorite Distubed song... I would play this endlessly during my teenage days and it brings back a lot of memories... appreciate yall taking the time to react to it 🔥💯
This whole album was my jam in middle/high school. Had a hoodie that said be lie ve with the lie in red that i wore so much it wore out 😂😂 David Draiman’s vocal ability is out of this world, and no matter how hard the riffs get or how gruff his voice gets--i always find his voice just soothing. Definitely a nostalgic band for me!
Nostalgic band for you LOL 😂 way to make me feel old. I was 25, married with 2 kids when Disturbed came out LOL 😂 I'll be 48 in a few months and still love them.
Oh man this album came out my the start of my high school senior year. One of my all time favorite albums! They were heavy back then. And such a unique sound. Used to crank this shit in my cars system! Another great reaction! 🤘😈🤘 p.s. that symbol on the album cover is a mix of like 8 different religious symbols into one
I've been listening to this song for 21 years and I never realised that was the lyrics, I have always heard it as heaven just isn't hot enough, burn me alive inside. Which I took to mean as embracing the pain and accepting it.
Awesome reaction as usual guys! One of the songs I've been requesting in here forever 😂 y'all would seriously make my week if you guys reacted to free by dark new day!
There was a stretch of time from the late '90s through like 2005 or so where it seemed like you HAD to have a cover of a '70s or '80s song on your album if you were a nü metal band, and Disturbed are almost synonymous with that concept, to this day. On their first major label release, they did a (great) cover of "Shout" by Tears For Fears (the Disturbed version is called "Shout 2000"), then did "Land of Confusion" on their third album, then had a hidden track at the end of their 5th album called "Ishfwilf" that's a (meh) cover of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." Their next release, "The Lost Children," was a collection of unreleased B-sides that included a previously-recorded cover of "Midlife Crisis" by Faith No More and a new cover of "Living After Midnight" by Judas Priest. Hollywood's favorite cover by them is on their 7th studio album. They are a cover song machine.
This song was his perspective of the story of Job, in the Bible. He is singing from Job's point of view (as he confronted God for being tormented & tested; to prove his devotion). The emotion conveyed in the song really makes you feel Job's frustration & confusion.
PLEASE REACT TO NEVER AGAIN BY DISTURBED -- DISTURBED SINGER DAVID DRAIMAN IS JEWISH -- THE SONG IS ABOUT THERE NEVER BEING ANOTHER HOLOCAUST. SIDE NOTE -- HIS GRANDFATHER LIVED IN ISRAEL AND WAS A CANTOR. SINGING IS IN HIS GENES.
Don’t hate me y’all, but most of the Disturbed songs I’ve heard sound incredibly similar. I do like them, though. They’ve found a formula that works for them. Tbf I haven’t heard their full discography. And they were pretty fkin good when I saw them live 😊
This is easily top 3 Disturbed songs for me... alongside Voices, and Stricken. Nu metal is hard to define. I don't bother using the term anymore unless I'm talking about Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit. Do some more Rehab! Love and peace!
Considering what happened to Draiman later (Inside the Fire, the whole of Asylum)... this song is instructive. Don't test the Universe. It will follow through and take EVERYTHING. I like Believe, but this song was a test of the Fates, and they answered. Hard.
If you want more of "Softer" Disturbed, their Evolution Album has several songs that are different from their norm. David said in an interview that "you can't fully appreciate the hard without having the soft." But my favorite "soft" song is Darkness from their Believe album.
Dude. I have listened to this song since 2002 when it came out on Believe and I just got it. He is having a conversation with (the devil?) The verse is the entity telling him all the things he has done or will do and the chorus is him talking back to it saying he prays for worse than he can do anyway. Ergo meaning that he can not do shit to him.
You should checkout their song "Conflict" off their first (and best) album. Also, you guys should do a "System Of A Down Sunday". Work through their discography and you wont regret it. You can then branch out into Serj's solo work. Great music. 🤘
Went through most of the comments and didn't see it. The symbol that you pointed at are religious symbols meshed together as one. The album title is Believe, hence the symbols. If you look close you can see a Cross (Christianity), a Crescent Moon (Islam), a Six Pointed Star of David (Judaism), and a 5 pointed Star (known as the Pagan Pentacle - usually used as the symbol for Wicca). I'm not sure why they didn't include Hinduism and Buddhism as well, but I digress. It's supposed to represent religious unity.
Disturbed is a cross between nu metal and alternative metal. David took vocal lessons if not mistaken before the Believe album. Not just regular vocal but opera style which allows him to get those melodic tones as well as combine the metal gruff behind it. Definitely a unique style and that what makes him an awesome vocalist. A lot of other vocalists started doing the same thing shortly after. Their newest one Bad Man is a banger 🤘😎🤘
Man, this song got buried by the media. The music video basically got screwed in the aftermath of the media shitstorm that was 9/11. This song should have been so much bigger but instead we would basically have to wait for Stricken/Ten Thousand Fists (2005) before we would get our next big Disturbed radio hit song.
Nu Metal includes rap rock/rap metal but Nu Metal is more than that, Nu metal (sometimes stylized as nü-metal, sometimes called aggro-metal) is a subgenre of alternative metal that combines elements of heavy metal music with elements of other music genres such as hip hop, alternative rock, funk, industrial, and grunge. Nu metal bands have drawn elements and influences from a variety of musical styles, including multiple genres of heavy metal. Nu metal rarely features guitar solos or other displays of musical technique; the genre is heavily syncopated and based on guitar riffs. Many nu metal guitarists use seven-string guitars that are down-tuned to produce a heavier sound. DJs are occasionally featured in nu metal to provide instrumentation such as sampling, turntable scratching and electronic backgrounds. Vocal styles in nu metal include singing, rapping, screaming and growling. Nu metal is one of the key genres of the new wave of American heavy metal.Bands like Sepultura and System of a Down incorporated indigenous and Middle Eastern traditional instruments
Here is how to know the difference between rap metal and nu metal Rap metal: hip hop and heavy metal fused Nu metal: thrash metal, grunge, industrial, funk, and hip hop mixed Nu metal doesn’t need rapping (kinda like trip hop)
What Draiman does isn't really rapping, it's moderately harsh vocals that often include syncopation. Generally the people who call Disturbed "nu metal" are doing so as an insult or to criticize their sound, because what they do is just plain metal.
I played music for my husband as he went. This song was playing when his heart stopped. It will always be with me. RIP GWM.
That’s very sad, but that’s amazing for you hold that memory forever.
This song (the whole believe album) was a go to for me after my husband died. This song reminded me of all i still have
@@barbararomero285 Very sorry for your loss. Very glad this album gives you comfort. I'm right there with you.
Sorry for your loss, just shows your awesome character playing this for them. One of the best songs ever 😢
🤘 Rock In Peace
this has been my favorite Disturbed song since it came out. it was partly inspired by the death of david draiman’s grandfather. he was raised in an Orthodox Jewish home, and had trained to be a Synagogue Cantor (the person who sings the service’s songs of prayer) for almost 20 years and was close to being ordained as a Rabbi when he joined Disturbed. when David quit his job as a healthcare administrator (dude is wicked smart and triple majored in business, political science, and philosophy in college earning bachelor’s degrees in all 3 in the same amount of time most people earn 1… but i digress) to be in Disturbed full-time his grandfather disowned him. When he found out his grandfather was dying there was no time to get to Israel to say his piece/say goodbye the way he wanted to.
this song is both a conversation between David and G-d, basically saying “come at me bro” and a message to his grandfather that he didn’t abandon his faith by doing music full time, he just found a new way to practice it (“let me enlighten you, this is the way i pray”). as a Cantor he quite literally used songs as prayers and as a vocalist needing to speak to G-d and his now-deceased grandfather he used this song to do the same thing.
i have a tattoo of a staff from this sheet music that wraps around and down my forearm. it’s the vocal melody that corresponds to the lyric “let me enlighten you, this is the way i pray” because music is also my chosen form of prayer.
sorry for the long-winded comment… but yeah… it’s hard to properly express my thoughts after coming off an overnight double shift as a nurse 😬
Holy crap! That was a long and most enjoyable read! I LOVE your tattoo without needing to see it. Since you’re a nurse, hopefully you’ll understand what I’m going to say. Fair warning… I betcha it’s gonna be way longer than your read! Lol
First of all I’m very similar to you. Not a nurse, but was a medic and worked in a hospital for 12 years on the hospitals trauma team. Went to university and studied my degree in biology/zoology. Gave up people and switched to animals. 😉 I did animal rescue release. Taught biology zoology classes to young children over the summer. I also worked for wildlife and parks.
Here’s where I’ll skip over a bunch of stuff and go straight to. I was born with a rare, genetic disease called Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Protein deficiency disease I was not a carrier, I had it full-blown. I had 2 very ugly… Very dangerous mutated alleles.
IDK if you know what A1ATD is because it’s extremely rare
(I am the only person w A1 in my state and the surrounding states)but it’s systematically shuts down and destroys every organ that sloughs off and has to replace cells. So obviously, lungs & liver are going to go first. For me, it was my uterus. Then I got premature COPD in my early 30s. Then I developed cirrhosis. I’m not sure where you work in the hospital, but everything that could go wrong did go wrong when my liver went to crap. Hepatic Encephalopathy, two years with an ammonia elevation so high I have dementia. Esophageal varices, Constant comas. Ascites so badly. It tore my abdominal muscles and gave me an umbilical hernia overnight. I LITERALLY developed a 3rd kidney on my right side. I guess my disease thought I might need a little extra. Which I do because my kidneys are shot from all the diuretics. I also have pancreatitis.
In 2017, I was kicked off the transplant list for good with a meld score of 39… 40 meaning dead. I was given 3 to 6 months to live. Leave on Palliative care,
Call us when you’re ready for hospice. Obviously this is because I was and still am, in end stage liver failure…. permanently I guess??
NOBODY in the hx of End stage cirrhosis lives that long. Literally the doctors and specialist and researchers can find nobody.
Mind you this is not a praise God that I am alive. I am not well. I am not cured. I am still actively dying. And the longer i live with cirrhosis, the more horrible conditions I develop as a result of it.
OK, Now, that being sad, I used to be really apathetic regarding God.
I literally had to go sit in the forest and observe all the beauty in nature, or I feared I’d become a complete atheist. I found God in nature & in all that inhabited it.
HERE is where, Finally, Disturbed comes in. All my life I’ve had a LOW voice. I didn’t care enough about it to investigate just how low it was. Always been told my voice is abrasive. That it can be heard all the way down the block. basically, they were telling me I need to learn to speak more sweetly… More softly. So having all the time in the world on my hands due to dying I said why not? Might as well train myself to sing like a songbird.
One day, I was on RUclips searching, vocal instructors,I needed to learn to speak more soothingly, softly. Only how to growl, scream and sing in death metal popped up first as I search for vocal lessons.
I don’t have to tell you what happened next, but singing softly went out the window immediately. I Found out I sang in Basso Profundo.
I quickly figured out David Draiman and I have VERY similar voices. Mines a little lower OK it’s a lot lower than his, especially when I talk. David’s voice is brighter. He has a lovely tamber. I drone. HOWEVER , I can raise it to sing along with him. It’s absolutely beautiful and it’s fun.

I too, have begun to use music as a way to speak to God. Death metal to be precise. I’m certain God would prefer I use something a little more ethereal, but for now he’s got a German girl who growls beautiful music! Dammit, I love David Draiman. he has a beautiful mind a beautiful soul and a beautiful voice. What a beautiful inspiration to have.
Beautiful mesh of heavy and melodic emotion, one of my favorite songs ever.
Disturbed is so funky. All the instruments mix together so well.
Disturbed is 1 of those bands with their sound that you know it’s them typically from a same continuous style- some may say “it just sounds like another Disturbed album”, well that’s kinda why they’re so good.

It’s about losing faith, the breakdown says “you made me turn away”.
Thanks for the request
For me it's always been ironical. "Living just isn't hard enough.....take everything away." Reminds me as long as i have things that haven't been taken then life really isn't that hard. I listened to this a lot when my husband died.
The song is about the story of Job in the bible. They talk about it in the 'making of' video.
To add to this, he's being taunted by the devil, and praying to God.
Them and Chevelle were awesome at the Iowa state fair
They have a song called Voices that I have always loved jamming out to. There is a 8 second or so just straight up guitar jam solo. You have to hear it to know and when you hear that part you will know it is that part.
💯 true short but very impactful and meaningful at that part of the song. So damn good!
OMG Voices! YES YES! Basically any song The Sickness is 🔥

It helps to distinguish bands like Limp Bizkit and Gryp, from other bands like Slipknot who obviously swing heavier on the metal side of the pendulum.
Nah rap metal existed before nu metal stuff like Faith No More, Red Hot Chili Peppers, & Biohazard
Probably my very favorite Disturbed song 🎶🖤🖤🖤
This is awesome thank you so much take care guys
Happy Sunday gentlemen 😎💕🤘🏼…LOVE Disturbed! Check out Don’t Tell Me … a colab they recently did with Ann Wilson from Heart, it’s beautiful!
One of my favorite songs of all time, that chorus just brings tears to my eyes and ears everytime 😢
7:03 I have no idea what shape that is on the album cover, but I would always be mesmerized by it every time I listened to this back in high school. Disturbed always has cool album covers, I would say 10,000 Fists is my favorite Disturbed album cover, followed by the one for Indestructible.
It’s a combination of the different faiths of the band members.
Me too big homie Steve! Kool cover!
Hey guys, about time you guys reacted to more disturbed 🤘🤘 one of my favorites,I've been a fan of disturbed since I heard this.Soooo many awesome songs to choose from, you can't go wrong 🎶🤘🎶🤘
A reason to fight & hold on to memories are completely different to this & sound of silence, David draiman is one of the best, can sing anything 🤘🤘
The emblem is a combination of symbols from various faiths.
One of my favorite covers by Disturbed other than "Sound of Silence" is "Land of Confusion" originally done by the band Genesis
Of course “Shout” you know!
From their individual beliefs, each have a separate religion
my fav disturbed song
It has already been said in a comment, but the symbol is a combination of each members. Faith, this song is about losing faith and also, I believe it speaks heavily to how people constantly have to balance faith in their lives.
Interesting that you didn't get a heart for your comment, but I agree. The meaning flies over most people's heads, or, they don't want to hear it. ❤
Disturbed - Pain Redefined. This track is right up Hollywood's alley.
great reaction.
asylum is really good
This is the first song I ever heard from them when I was like, 12 years old. They became my favorite band ever since.
I never payed attention to the lyrics in full. This was great. Brought me back to the best time of my life. 99 to early 07. Soooooo many concerts. Downside was that was when I got hooked on "partying" now I can enjoy concerts more because I can remember them the next day.
I always thought it might be referencing Job from the bible
So many great Disturbed songs! My favorite might have to be "Numb" off of their first album. It's a deep cut, but you guys would love it!! ❤️🤘
This was the pinnacle of their success for sure. Their first 3 albums are masterpieces.
Remember waiting to hear this coming on MTV 2
For a more mellow Disturbed "Hol on to the Memories" My fav song by DIsturbed is "The Light" The first few albulms definately some of heir best/ The mellow out a bit You can really hear those who have influenced their music.
So underrated, this was my favorite as a middle schooler on the school bus listening to this on a cd player with anti skip technology, which was all the rage at the time. If you know you know
The outro when the guitar riff changes and he repeats the chorus is soo cool
gosh i know this song is one of their most popular ones but it’s still one of their best, if not THEIR best! i’ve listened to every disturbed song like a million times but this song just hits different
Just saw them live last Thursday in Montreal.....they were AMAZING!!!
I like how you put it smokey...hes like singing the rap...very true!! Hes got a certain way of singing..rapsinging!lol🤓
I saw Disturbed live back in 2019 and it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. They put on one hell of an entertaining show.
The music video for this song had some "explosion" scenes. It was banned right after 9/11.

DIVITIUS - memento mori. HollyWOOOOOOD, SHMOKEYYY! 😁
This whole album was my jam in middle/high school.

Definitely a nostalgic band for me!
Nostalgic band for you LOL 😂 way to make me feel old. I was 25, married with 2 kids when Disturbed came out LOL 😂 I'll be 48 in a few months and still love them.
You gotta watch the video to get the full effect of the song his presence in that video is amazing and really makes the song for me
This song; as well as Believe and Liberate. All are good songs! Love from Kentucky Y'all! Hopefully we get another reaction of Disturbed soon!
Please do “the light”. It just a great disturbed song.
Oh man this album came out my the start of my high school senior year. One of my all time favorite albums! They were heavy back then. And such a unique sound. Used to crank this shit in my cars system! Another great reaction! 🤘😈🤘 p.s. that symbol on the album cover is a mix of like 8 different religious symbols into one
💛💛💛 always loved this one! Such nostalgia.
Brings me back to Freshman year of high school. Purchased this album on released date
I've been listening to this song for 21 years and I never realised that was the lyrics, I have always heard it as heaven just isn't hot enough, burn me alive inside. Which I took to mean as embracing the pain and accepting it.
Awesome reaction as usual guys! One of the songs I've been requesting in here forever 😂 y'all would seriously make my week if you guys reacted to free by dark new day!
early bird gets the first comment... ;D
@@derkabronen first kiwi to comment I live in Sydney Australia
They have a video for this song that was controversial because it had debris falling off buildings around the time of 9/11
rap/rock is what i've always called it
One of my favorites choruses
Official video to this is incredible
There was a stretch of time from the late '90s through like 2005 or so where it seemed like you HAD to have a cover of a '70s or '80s song on your album if you were a nü metal band, and Disturbed are almost synonymous with that concept, to this day. On their first major label release, they did a (great) cover of "Shout" by Tears For Fears (the Disturbed version is called "Shout 2000"), then did "Land of Confusion" on their third album, then had a hidden track at the end of their 5th album called "Ishfwilf" that's a (meh) cover of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For."

Not a Disturbed fan these days, but their first album is 🔥 all the way through…You should do a deep dive.
Good song.
DISTURBED'S THE LIGHT. VENGEFUL ONE... STRICKEN
This song was his perspective of the story of Job, in the Bible. He is singing from Job's point of view (as he confronted God for being tormented & tested; to prove his devotion). The emotion conveyed in the song really makes you feel Job's frustration & confusion.
Despite being a shameless nu metal fan I honestly never got into Disturbed. They're at Download in June so I'll give them a go live.
Check them out
i’m seeing them at Download, too 😃
@@psychobethaI'll see you there 🤟
if you want acoustic disturbed, do the song darkness. it was on this same album
For me, this was the best song they ever wrote.
Have they done any Static-X? If not then they should check some out.
PLEASE REACT TO NEVER AGAIN BY DISTURBED -- DISTURBED SINGER DAVID DRAIMAN IS JEWISH -- THE SONG IS ABOUT THERE NEVER BEING ANOTHER HOLOCAUST. SIDE NOTE -- HIS GRANDFATHER LIVED IN ISRAEL AND WAS A CANTOR. SINGING IS IN HIS GENES.
Twisted insane underground psycho plz plz
This album is definitely a good one, some catchy songs on there
The book of Job fits this message
Excellent Disturbed j'aime ça merci beaucoup à vous les gars très bon choix c'est du lourd bisous de France🙏🇫🇷👍👏😱
Dude! Is that an Aura Surreal shirt? I was their original merch chick! 🤘😎🤘
Don’t hate me y’all, but most of the Disturbed songs I’ve heard sound incredibly similar. I do like them, though. They’ve found a formula that works for them. Tbf I haven’t heard their full discography. And they were pretty fkin good when I saw them live 😊
This is easily top 3 Disturbed songs for me... alongside Voices, and Stricken.
Nu metal is hard to define. I don't bother using the term anymore unless I'm talking about Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit.
Do some more Rehab!
Love and peace!
DEPECHE MODE -PERSONAL JESUS!!!!!! B
Considering what happened to Draiman later (Inside the Fire, the whole of Asylum)... this song is instructive. Don't test the Universe. It will follow through and take EVERYTHING.
I like Believe, but this song was a test of the Fates, and they answered. Hard.
I always thought it was "Heaven just isnt hot enough"
If you want more of "Softer" Disturbed, their Evolution Album has several songs that are different from their norm. David said in an interview that "you can't fully appreciate the hard without having the soft." But my favorite "soft" song is Darkness from their Believe album.
Jamie Madrox did a classic rendition of this song on the Purple Show years ago lol.
Ya’ll need to do ‘Inside the Fire’ awesome message behind the song and worth a listen
late but yall gotta do "Remember" by Disturbed. amazing song
Dude. I have listened to this song since 2002 when it came out on Believe and I just got it. He is having a conversation with (the devil?) The verse is the entity telling him all the things he has done or will do and the chorus is him talking back to it saying he prays for worse than he can do anyway. Ergo meaning that he can not do shit to him.
Great band that I can't listen to more than 15 minutes.
If you guys want a great softer one, check out "Hold On To The Memories"
They share more in common with Reggae than with Rap or Hip Hop
You should checkout their song "Conflict" off their first (and best) album. Also, you guys should do a "System Of A Down Sunday". Work through their discography and you wont regret it. You can then branch out into Serj's solo work. Great music. 🤘
I wonder what happened to the actors?
Early 2000
Went through most of the comments and didn't see it. The symbol that you pointed at are religious symbols meshed together as one. The album title is Believe, hence the symbols. If you look close you can see a Cross (Christianity), a Crescent Moon (Islam), a Six Pointed Star of David (Judaism), and a 5 pointed Star (known as the Pagan Pentacle - usually used as the symbol for Wicca). I'm not sure why they didn't include Hinduism and Buddhism as well, but I digress. It's supposed to represent religious unity.
That symbol is a combination of the different faiths in the band. This song is about losing faith.
There's a video called "The Greatest Hit of Disturbed" that I believe you will get a kick out of. It's just fucking hilarious!!
Disturbed is a cross between nu metal and alternative metal. David took vocal lessons if not mistaken before the Believe album. Not just regular vocal but opera style which allows him to get those melodic tones as well as combine the metal gruff behind it. Definitely a unique style and that what makes him an awesome vocalist. A lot of other vocalists started doing the same thing shortly after. Their newest one Bad Man is a banger 🤘😎🤘
He’s fully qualified to be a cantor for Jewish services.
That’s literal years of study.
Man, this song got buried by the media. The music video basically got screwed in the aftermath of the media shitstorm that was 9/11. This song should have been so much bigger but instead we would basically have to wait for Stricken/Ten Thousand Fists (2005) before we would get our next big Disturbed radio hit song.
Based on the book of Job
You should react to their cover of "Land of Confusion" by Genesis. Originally Phil Collins did a great job, but David added his signature style to it.
Hollywood where you get that deftones shirt bro? I’m not seeing it online anywhere. Tell me or sell to me please 😅
Maybe you should have put David dramin in the polling instead of remstine
Nu Metal includes rap rock/rap metal but Nu Metal is more than that, Nu metal (sometimes stylized as nü-metal, sometimes called aggro-metal) is a subgenre of alternative metal that combines elements of heavy metal music with elements of other music genres such as hip hop, alternative rock, funk, industrial, and grunge. Nu metal bands have drawn elements and influences from a variety of musical styles, including multiple genres of heavy metal. Nu metal rarely features guitar solos or other displays of musical technique; the genre is heavily syncopated and based on guitar riffs. Many nu metal guitarists use seven-string guitars that are down-tuned to produce a heavier sound. DJs are occasionally featured in nu metal to provide instrumentation such as sampling, turntable scratching and electronic backgrounds. Vocal styles in nu metal include singing, rapping, screaming and growling. Nu metal is one of the key genres of the new wave of American heavy metal.Bands like Sepultura and System of a Down incorporated indigenous and Middle Eastern traditional instruments
The song meaning sounds like the story of Job from the bible. He had everything taken from him including having his family killed.
Y’all should do He’ll by Distubed
Ice Nine Kills - Farewell II Flesh
Here is how to know the difference between rap metal and nu metal
Rap metal: hip hop and heavy metal fused
Nu metal: thrash metal, grunge, industrial, funk, and hip hop mixed
Nu metal doesn’t need rapping (kinda like trip hop)
You rappers would appreciate DISTURBED'S... STUPIFY
And Liberate. 😁
Please check out “The Game” from 1st album!!!
Stupify!!
What Draiman does isn't really rapping, it's moderately harsh vocals that often include syncopation. Generally the people who call Disturbed "nu metal" are doing so as an insult or to criticize their sound, because what they do is just plain metal.
PLZ react to System of a down MIND lyrics
hey trash talkers, I tried going to your shirts and merch website, but it says not found. Just wanted to let ya know
