I passed out infront of the stage at a show with disturbed, and stp. I was taken backstage and they sat me down and were checking on me and David came over and asked me if I was OK and just talked to me for a minute. It was at the end of the show and while he was talking to me everyone from disturbed and stp stopped by to see if I was OK, never will forget that. Just good people
The toughest-looking people can have so much empathy because they have had to cope with all kinds of hardships. Love this moment, especially how kindly and gently the lead singer spoke with that little girl.
Facts, read a study a couple years ago which claimed people whose music choice is metal tend to be the most sensitive, attentive, compassionate and well natured while classical tended to attract psychopaths etc… can’t remember the entire study but was definitely interesting
Not easy to balance the needs of a crowd with the needs of an individual within a crowd. What a masterclass. He's a class act who clearly cares about his fans. What an orator, too.
He's f****** with you trying to make it look good. Any type of concert with that many people is no place to bring a tiny little girl especially putting her in the front row what the f*** is wrong with you guys.
Man I didn't expect an incredible speech from clicking this video. Was never a Disturbed fan, I heard some of their songs but I'm not much of a rock listener in general but goddamn this guy, this view and these speeches are what will make the world a better place. Go man! Full on respect.
I suggest you check out Five Finger Death Punch as well. Some of their songs have strong messages. The best example is "Wrong Side of Heaven," which is about how bad US military veterans have it. The last three minutes of that video is a silent scrolling list of organisations, agencies, and charities which support veterans and their families.
"Coming Down" is a video that I watch for release. The original is about reenacting cyber bullying and physical bullying causing teen suicide, but it ends with the teens being saved from themselves and finding reasons to live. That final scene has the phoneline for suicide prevention in the US.
He's done a lot of things that earned my respect, like he basically told a group of people that were bullying a woman that this was not acceptable, and invited her to finish the show on stage with them. ❤
@@loudsquad The parents are morons. If they accepted the negative reality of the likely outcome of the experiment, she would not be there. Dave Save was epic, but better parenting would have prevented it's necessity.
@@stevenfunderburg1623I bet your kids are sheltered, pent up, confused, and probably honestly scared of you..... Don't take kids to enjoy a live concert? But what, watch some crap like 16 and pregnant, or Ru Paul or even the friggin news? Or, god forbid, they ever learn how to work a computer, or YOUR PHONE, and find out what's REALLY out there...... Music and the gathering of music appreciators, would be the very LAST thing to worry about. Live music has probably single handedly saved my life and kept me AWAY from trouble and negativity.....Don't shunt a child's appreciate live music or the experience of a show just because YOU are closed minded and can't see past all the scary stuff outside of your little safe space...
@@dillonhogan6125 I didn't say every child's potential experience of a live concert should be prohibited. In this case the outcome started to go negative, (and if not for the unprecedented coolness of DAVE , NOT THE FUCKING PARENTS, it would have, period) and at that point, because of that outcome, THIS child's should have been. But yes, you stumbled on the solution to your own problem, though you and I perceive solutions and problems in reverse. I would not intentionally bring a child into this world, and certainly not a female one. Yes, I do believe that the human race is a bad idea and the best solution is to limit the spread of that cancer by any available means. Allowing well placed fear and negativity to prevent reproduction until we are all gone would be the compassionate solution, but I don't see everyone jumping on board, so the celebration of horror, war and genocidal violence will have to do. Believe me, if I get a super villains opportunity to send a Haley's size comet directly into times square, this little philosophical argument will become irrelevant seconds later. If you're breeder trash , may that decision have the most damaging, costly and horrific consequences imaginable for you, and may you be forced, before violently perishing yourself, to accept that all of it stems directly from your arrogant, narcissistic desire and confidence to look at this world, this society and instead of saying "enough is enough" , saying "let's make more of them". One way or another death and darkness will come for you, me, all parents and every last child on earth. If I weren't a coward I would just make a noose right now and laugh as I left you to it. Have a swell day 😉
That's what I love about the scene. The fans may look scary, the lyrics may sound violent, the moshpits may look chaotic, the bandnames may be obscene, but they are some of the greatest people I have ever met. And those who look the most like you don't want to mess with them often turn out to be the kindest
Thank you for being a great example for society today love your music and love your messages you share to the people ❤. That was a incredible speech thank you for being you. 🤘🏻🤘🏻😌
"Besides darling, we may be dark, but let me share a secret with you...sometimes, darkness , can show you the light". So, so true! So beautiful and so true! ❤
This mans speech was AMAZING, and the fact that he stopped the show to comfort a little girl and give that truthful speech shows how big this mans heart is and just how down to earth he is! ❤️👍
I was at that show, for context what happened is that he asked her to come on stage. She got the camera put on her and you can see her parents were excited and want her to go. But it's obvious she didn't and then she started to cry. This was all on the big screens for everyone to see during the show as well so he stopped what he was doing and went up to her to comfort her and give this epic speech.
@@HenrySimpleShe should have never been there. As I said above who TF takes their 12 year old to a metal concert? Do they have a 'deafwish' for their child? Metal and concerts in general are hearing-killers, not to mention the lyrics to 'Down With The Sickness" which is a great tune, but not for a 12 year-olds ears. Kids should be innocent as long as possible, and these parents should get a fucking slap.
@@HenrySimple How, because they took their daughter front row at an awesome concert and a rock superstar took the time to focus on her when she was scared? Yea, maybe you are just simple.
Ive seen David stop a show at ozzfest to let a disabled kid who was crowd surfing come up on stage and kept him up there through his act. He has always been such a good human.
I saw Disturbed live once about 20 years ago. David stopped mid song to call out someone getting handsy in the crowd and shut it down. He's a hell of a human being, and always has been as far as I can tell. Always liked his music, but that day in Little Rock I became a fan of the man behind the music.
Its generational that we must tell these people that No, the devil isn't going to come out of some board game or that's actually a man in a mannequin outfit. They call it chaos, we call it Balancing out the crazy before it gets nutty. Someone always looking for somebody to blame for all the evil in the world, and its easier to blame something they already hate. in the 70s it was KISS, in the 80s, it was David Lee Roth, in the 90s it was Metallica. Now... well they'll figure something out.
@@ViolettaD1485 that's a different Story then i only saw a intimidated and scared kid in the first row of a Rock concert and there might be people with other options but the first row of a Rock concert is usally for young folks dancing and not for families with little Kids. It's questionable if Kids should be there anyway but hey Kids can't choose their parents. I hope she had at least Protection for her ears
David just nailed It with that line at the end. I think he sure knows what he's talking about, after all he went through, and many of us feel touched by the meaning of that phrase because of what we've experienced, because we know what It means been through darkness in our lives and finally found a light, we had to experienced pain to someday encounter happiness 💔
" David Draiman, the lead singer of the heavy metal band Disturbed, was classically trained as a cantor. Cantors are people who lead prayer and sing liturgical music in synagogues. Draiman's training began in his Jewish culture, where he would sing traditional songs with his father and grandfather during Sabbath meals. As a teenager, he was already leading High Holiday services. " he is a very talented singer and a very intelligent man..
Oh man. You are in for such an epic journey through timeless & amazing music. I've been listening to disturbed for 20+ years now. They are truly amazing.
@@SethWilcockikr? they are truly impeccable... incredible. Down With The Sickness, uncensored of course, is my favorite song of all time, especially the mid point!
I have so much respect for him that he not only noticed that she was scared and having a bad moment but stopped his entire show to go comfort her and let her know everything was ok and that she was going to be ok. That is so badass!
Not to discredit wat u said but he actually noticed her singing along the whole concert and wanted to bring her up on stage but she got really shy and scared when the parents were trying to motion her to go up there. So he came down for her instead!
@@csSpetzNaz thank you so much! I was wondering why she was scared if she loved the music. I love that he didn't force her and came to comfort her instead.
This guy has always reminded me of one of my Cousins. He is in the Army, as a Medic, was at the Battle of Fallujah, recently went back overseas to Kuwait because they needed a medic, and then Texas to help with border issues, and now he’s back home in Michigan as a full time Fireman, and full time Michigan National Guard Medic, and has 4 little boys and is Married. And this is exactly how he talks and acts. He has major PTSD but you wouldn’t know it unless he goes into his “freakout mode” as he calls it.
It's amazing how this man who has suffered in his life and found success in music is also helping others who have faced the same hardships and giving people a reason to just escape reality. This is the type of people we really need in our lives.
Since the beginning of time music has filled the role you've just described and so we are grateful to this artist who obviously feels the same as you.😍
Music can cross the barrier between all hardships and emotions. Never forget that. Joy and sorrow can break out in song and show you how amazing people are.
I’m sorry you feel that way, I actually know a few musical families, two in their own band and the others, just your average gig goer, in there younger days they’d all go out together.
I appreciate that you're able to separate the two - not be a fan of the music (as is your prerogative), but definitively admire them as people. We need more of that in the world.
@@DougWalton21 There are some artists where I love their music, can’t stand them as people. This spot is the opposite but I always separate the two. Important to be willing and able to do so.
I was at this show. This was awesome to see. The girl was singing along to every song and he invited her on stage but she got really scared. He said don’t worry and went down to talk to her and this whole thing happened. It was truly great to see
They had me with his version of the Sound of Silence from Simon & Garfunkel who in my opinion did a perfect job w that song,then I heard This Guy & Wow.. ✌
What a class act David is, I've seen interviews he has done with his struggles with depression and he always comes across as the most genuine, caring and compassionate guy, much respect for him.
Often those who have struggled are the ones who have the most compassion. Been there, done that type of thing. Having the ability to so eloquently speak on the spur of the moment shows that those words he spoke are how he lives, how he moves thru the world. There is wisdom in him. A lot of it.
Depression is an endless desert where one thirsts for a drink they expect never to come. It's also an endless sea of saltwater, where they may drink from and go deeper into the desire for more and more and not actually receive what it is. Depression is knowing that when you pull out hope from Pandora's box, it is because hope was placed in there with all of the other maladys and hindrances as a final death knell to desire any further good thing. Concepts like hope and fear died a very long time ago for me. I'm okay with that; I use this unique position to do everything I can to help others whenever signaled to a call to action.
Wow. I’m not a huge fan of theirs, but mad respect for seeing something and being a superlative human being. That girl, Sophia, will carry that with her forever. In sad times, she’ll remember this and it will lift her up. Marvelous. Truly marvelous.
@@Quickcat21MKwhat's up with you... obviously whatever raised you didn't teach you much... almost positive I'm not the first nor the last person to throw shade... don't bother responding... not worth it.
I couldn't agree more this heavy metal singer literally stops the whole show for one little girl. Super human super guy great man with a heart of gold. Says a lot for the fans of disturbed and for so many people who love the band awesome bunch of people. DISTURBED ROCKS THE WORLD
David has always been my most favorite artist. Disturbed’s music helped me through ALOT of very hard times in my life. Very happy to see the type of person he really is. 10k fists will ALWAYS be my all time favorite album. Listened to them all the time in high school as well.
This is proof that despite how we in the metal community may look scary to non-metalheads, we are actually very caring of eachother and everyone because we know just how shitty it can be sometimes
We're all human buddy. No matter how we sing. No matter how vile the lyrics are. No matter what the beat is. No matter what the chords are. No matter what the gain is set at. We are all human.
This man is what we call a CLASS ACT!!!!! How awesome is this man!!! He stopped playing and saw a little girl having a hard time for some reason?? So instead of just singing the songs he stopped singing and walked right down to her and her parents and talked with her. I am just in awe of how cool this is!!!!
These parents are foolish idiots bringing a child to an adult concert like this when it’s obvious she’s not enjoying herself there or even feel comfortable. It’s selfish and pathetic how the parents cared about taking the girl to a concert where only they enjoy instead of what the little girl would enjoy
@@Kitty_bandida22 she was singing along to the songs a lot of the show you don't know why she was upset your just making assumptions karen. Apparently, she knows them well enough to sing along so stop talking down. And you're also making the assumption that the title is actually fact that she was "scared". What do you think she hears there that she doesn't hear on the street, her school, most television these days glad you didn't raise probably would have grown up with damn mittens 24/7.
I was there in the crowd that night. The girl wasn’t scared of the show or anything. He asked the parents to bring the girl on stage because she knew many songs and I guess he wanted her to sing along, but she got scared to go on stage and started crying. Then he felt bad and went down to confort her. Just wanted to clear that up in case someone thought that she was scared by the performance. She only started crying when she was asked to go on stage.
I have been in several music scenes over my 38 years on this earth and met great people everywhere but nothing compares to the love, passion and care for each other that the metal scene shows again and again. I don't think we can ever fully appreciate how many lives this music and the family of freaks that live and breathe it have saved by given people a home where they can truly be themselves. ❤ to each and every one of you.
well, because when it is what he really believes in, the words come easy. Unlike the politicians and celebrities and other people who are just manipulating us with their words
Fuckin a right brother. Same with slipknot. Truly class acts, despite the rough around the edges vibes they can put off, truly great dudes in this sphere of music. Cheers
I’m obsessed with this man… his singing, phenomenal, his passion, AMAZING, his love for protecting his fans and especially KIDDOS!!!! Protect this man at all COSTS!!!
Wow I've been to more concerts than I can count, and I've never seen anything quite like that. To take the time out of his performance, to comfort a scared child, really demonstrates what a kind, compassionate person he is
He doesn't make more money for that. Also look around you'll see many rockstars doing similar thing stopping shows for similar reasons. There's just a lot of them who are nice people
Lemme tell you that most rock or metal singers or most members of rock and metal bands are actually kind, loving and caring people, who have their own families, their own kids, and they want nothing else than a better world. You'd be surprised how many tough looking guys have really soft and warm heart in reality. Appearance is often misleading.
amen, and I have no idea who Disturbed is and as I posted, I'm a Deadhead, time to find out...what a good man. Odd music is full of folks like this and most of us are unaware...
It's amazing to see his intelligence and true self comes out of the darkness and show everyone respect love and to show it's an act his darkness and songs are sung for enjoyment and entertainment
@@jimr880 I saw lucifer smile! Once I attended a sunday service of the Westboro Baptist Church! Never heard so much hateful, vile and outright unchristian crap in my life
I completely agree. Someone once said in a speech (and maybe she was quoting, I don’t remember right now): „art is the highest plane on which humans meet.“
Music is a universal language. My band from Sweden played the same music together with a Japanese band on American soil. I've also played Калина пам'яті (Ukrainian marsch) with Ukrainian refugees. Music unites us in a way nothing else can
No... this is why need parenting. Not support animal moralists who are gonna call this abuse, because they never had that conversation, on either side of it. Just let to "grow up" automatically when a random number clicks on, which is both the starting line and already the deadline, coddled until 18 and fed to the grinder a minute later.
This is why disturbed is one of my favorite bands. David is an amazing human. His life has been absolutely terribly tough and he’s got a heart of gold.
Been to a Disturbed show before, and David Draiman is such a fantastic human. Cares about everyone who attends his shows. I’ve always enjoyed their music since the late 90s, but after going to a show for the first time I was so shocked at what an amazing person he is. He did a whole tribute to his good friend Chester Linkcoln Park through the song Sound of Silence and it was beautiful. Highly recommend you go to one if you haven’t.
I’ve never been a big metal fan, don’t hate it but I grew up in the 70s-80s to that era of rock but I’ll tell ya what, WOW!!! For some reason this video clip started playing on my phone and I started to close it out but something held my finger back for a second and let me tell ya, that was the best two minutes I have spent listening to someone about us as a whole, and how we are gonna survive the chit our governments are putting us through right now, and how we are gonna prosper…… together, once we get through it but he is exactly right folks, we have got to stand UNITED and help one another no matter what music you listen too or what I listen to, we are still both human beings with feelings and dreams of success, dreams of having a partner, a home, possibly a family, certain cars, etc. Please folks, let’s continue his message and continue broadcasting it across the globe and work to love one another, help one another, etc cause without us working together, there’s no way we can defeat our governments tyranny when they come to lock us down again! They are dividing us so they can control us easier but I’m willing to protect you if you’ll help me and together we will defeat them and then we will prosper instead of them and we can continue listening to different varieties of music and respect one another and have a long & happy life!! I’ve gotta run for now tho cause I’ve gotta go pull up some Disturbed music and listen to what I’ve been missing all these years cause this guy is fantastic and everything he said is absolutely true!!!!
I am a firm believer that music was given to us as a gift from our home, and it's intended purpose is to comfort us while we're alive. He's right, life is hard, for all of us. It's from our home. All of it, rap, metal, country, pop, house/dance, punk, classical, all of it. Even some that we haven't invented yet. Dude is a class act.
“Sometimes, darkness can show you the light.” It’s honestly amazing how good that was to say to her. She’s crying because she’s scared, and he was able to comfort her and spread positivity. And it only happened because he accidentally scared her. That terrifying man she saw on stage showed her she didn’t need to be scared him and gave her loving vibes from the whole crowd. It’s fantastic
@mikhailyaremkiv not really. For example, if you want to see if something glows, you don't look at it sunlight, do you? The people i know with the most genuine joy for life are also the ones who have seen more pain than anyone ever should. It's very much 'sometimes having nothing makes you appreciate every tiny thing you get'
The gentleman has unfortunately spoken incorrectly , profanity (swearing and irreligious behaviour is not acceptable). Jesus was God's son his life was blameless and yet died for our sins , he also only spoke excellent things , we must conform to the image and likeness of Jesus and his teachings in bible book Luke and we must obey them to enter paradise instead of the fire of gehenna for rebellion , not to earthly idols whether that be artists or anything more important than God. The child must have felt in her spirit that something was not right , one should not first go through the darkness to find out there's light , go straight to the light of Jesus and skip the darkness
"Sometimes, darkness can show you the light." I'm in tears. As someone with bipolar, it's not something I know. He's right and it was an amazing thing to say. What an amazing man he is.
I have depression, anxiety, PTSD due to extreme abuse growing up and have faced darkness until I have seen the light. I like Disturbed so much, their music has helped me through some of the dark times.
I recently worked at a concert while a stereotypical "heavy metal" band was there, and let me tell you: every single customer I talked to was AWESOME. They were super respectful, even if I had to tell them something they didn't want to hear. I was blown away. They were the nicest crowd I ever had the pleasure of interacting with. (For those curious, the worst crowds are generally rap concerts)
@@dragonmerchant we recently had a Snoop concert in which nearly 20 ambulances had to be dispatched for various reasons I'm unaware of. During the concert I mentioned in my original comment, we had 1, and it wasn't even on the venue's property.
@dragonmerchant I had heard about this but never experienced it firsthand. The insane part is that, during the concert in question, there were PROTESTERS near the main entrance because the band portrayed ""satanic imagery."" Despite the fact that every single one of the 500-1000 people I talked to were extremely considerate and kind. One of the protesters assaulted my teenage coworker, forcing her to be sent home temporarily. If they were half as nice as the people they were protesting against, the world would be a better place.
Can say the same. Not even one bad encounter (maybe 2 or 3 people who where just inpatient). Old people, rap and electro fans have been relative worse than metalheads
@@1982MCIamen??????????? Oh you people are sick, that demonic concert is no place for children, and to say Amen to what God would never allow is wicked
It takes brass balls to turn a concert venue into a classroom about life. I'm a casual fan of Disturbed. Worked security for one of their concerts way back in the day. It's pretty awesome when you take your family to concerts. I think the talent gets more out of the experiences. Like this.
You know, I love their music, and he is a big scary looking guy… The very fact that he stopped a show to comfort that frightened girl… Mad ass respect for that man, seriously. I think I love them more now than I ever did. His words were true and his actions spoke volumes. ❤
@@ultraboombean Yeah it was kind of a rhetorical question. It's cool that the singer took the time to calm her down, but I really think the parents are stupid for bringing her there in the first place, regardless of intent. It's like taking a kid to a haunted house with actors with chainsaws, etc. who happen to be nice enough to take off their mask and tell them not to worry. Why even put them in that situation? Seems selfish on their part.
What an absolute class act by the lead singer of a hard metal band. To take the time out of his show and show such compassion for this little girl is truly amazing. He is not afraid of his image, or anything fake like a lot of entertainers. He showed his true human spirit which I feel he should be proud. These are the guys that we all root for in life and become fans of. Well done,,,
I saw him last month in Tampa. For those who don't know, he has been struggling with depression and attempted suicide a while back. Thank god, he did not succeed. They are one of the few musicians speaking out against depression and promoting help lines. They are speaking out against hate and violence. At every show, he reaches out to people and tells his story. How many people have they saved!?!?!?!?! I can only imagine. ❤
I can honestly say that I've never felt so safe at a concert as I did when I went to metal and hard rock shows. The kindest, most generous and loving people I've ever met were the audience at these shows. And some I've been friends with for nearly 40 years now.
Ive never been a huge fan (I dig some songs) of Disturbed music but I think the lead singer is a really enlightened person. We need more people like him in the world. The Sound of Silence cover is my favorite song he put out. I know its not his own song but he made it his own.
Fun Fact, David is a big fan of Simon and Garfunkel's music and met with them once and they told him they liked his version a lot and he should claim it as his own as it contrasted theirs so beautifully
What a really great guy to stop his concert just to make sure the little girl was okay. You Sir are the only person who stopped immediately and saw how scared she was and you went above and beyond to go check on her. I have much respect for you. That family will remember that for a very long time. What an incredible speech coming from the heart, you're truly amazing.
@@ryancampbell4445seriously. I was at the front for Disturbed recently and it was shit. It's very unsafe for a child. Every big band has the same problems.
Of course she's going to be fucking scared!! Her dumbass parents brought their small child to a disturbed concert and brought her all the way up front....
This is just such a cool, beautiful moment for Rock and Metal concerts. When everyone just loves talking about the negative or violent fun stuff that happens at concerts, THIS moment really stands out as refreshing, real, and so totally positive. Draiman's tone of voice is so amazing when addressing the girl and all fans. And HE'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! So what if there's a little profanity!? Who cares! It's music, and positive freedom of expression at a concert!! And the girl was with her awesome parents too! I really will forever respect and remember this moment.
I'm 60, my mother was a staunch Christian and she was horrified that I was going to rock concerts, smoking cigarettes and a bit of weed, and swearing, never in front of her BTW. She bought into what the msm told her about us and decided I was going to Hell and told me that many times in my life. The more she treated me like that the deeper I went into the darkness eventually getting addicted to crack. On xmas eve 2004 I walked away from everyone I knew and got clean. I've been alone for almost 20 years now and my spirituality is all I've been caring about until just the other day when I decided to put rock and roll back into my life so I could have some fun and I'm not regretting it! And it's not harming my soul one tiny bit, in fact, it's lifting me up, especially stuff like this! I haven't spoken to my mother in years she still thinks I'm worshipping Satan. It's sad but there's nothing I can do about it but be happy in my own way! This was awesome!! I'm sick of the divide politics and the msm is creating too!!
Likewise. I used to be so alone all the time. I was a mess of a teen suffering from medication side effects/withdrawals, taking my schooling in the corners of some hospital high up in some woodland area.. that time was such an odd place and time
The WORLD needs to see this. Compassion, caring, doing the right thing, and most of all INSPIRATION. David didn't embarrass her, he lifted her and everyone else there. Blessings to all.
What a guy, what a band, I had the pleasure of meeting Disturbed before a concert and David is so humble and polite, I was in a devastating car crash, I broke every bone on the left side of my body and my neck aswell, my main artery to my heart was ripped open, I was in a coma for 6 months and died 3 times, “The Light” gave me the strength to fight and I’m walking and living my life like it never happened, against all the odds. David thanked me for telling him my story, such a blessing to have met him. Music is very powerful and can drag you up from the deaths of despair. ❤
This made me cry, thank you 🙏 for sharing that it’s truly inspiring as someone who has had three surgeries this past year one of them being brain surgery and it’s been a rough recovery but reading this made me feel appreciative that God is good and teaches us lessons we never knew we’d learn and grow from. Much love to you.
@rumplestiltskinn I understand what you're saying. Even of people don't care for someone's music we can all still appreciate showing kindness to eachother. 👍
You should check out Disturbed's cover of 'The Sound of Silence". The live version from the Conan show. Aired March 28, 2016 Impeccable presentation. ✌️😺
Great speech by an AMAZING man!!! I love Disturbed's music!!! The fact that this man noticed that the little girl was scared and took the time out to stop the show and talk to her and comfort her is just plain AMAZING!!! Truly great human being!!!
That would be SO COOL! The "let me tell you a secret, Darlin'... Sometimes the darkness can show you the light" at the beginning of a song. Epic! Like the Dumbledore quote “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”❤
I love this band even more. This band, all of them, truly have hearts for their fans. I’ve witnessed it at a show back in 2010 in Maryland and there’s multiple videos on YT where David jumps down from the stage and talks to his fans if he thinks something is wrong. They may be a hard edge group of guys but when it comes to their fans, they’re a bunch of softies. Truly a class act.
Wow. SO awesome. This - THIS is what a true man in every sense of the word looks and acts like. Always loved their music, now have another reason to love them even more.
He didn't stop the show because the girl was scared, He stopped the show because he was blown away by the girl singing along to all his songs.. A true artist who appreciates his fans.. ❤
Here I was wondering what actually happened. Scared? How?? Especially if she was there singing her heart out to the tunes. But what's also cool is when these metalheads go and mind the kids. See, that's what I generally like about metalheads. They tend to be gentle giants. But I wonder why he was asking if she was okay, though?
Well that was the 2nd reason, he said he didn't mean to scare her & then he was trying to show there's nothing to be scared of & started complimenting her to take mind off what just happened but either theory, it was nice of him👍

Amazing how a hard rock/metal singer can give a better speech than any politician has in the last 50 years.
This.
Aint that the truth. Musicians are very intelligent people, don't let the performance fool you.
Dee Snider comes to mind
It was pre planned.
Amen!!
I passed out infront of the stage at a show with disturbed, and stp. I was taken backstage and they sat me down and were checking on me and David came over and asked me if I was OK and just talked to me for a minute. It was at the end of the show and while he was talking to me everyone from disturbed and stp stopped by to see if I was OK, never will forget that. Just good people
❤❤❤
Wow that’s awesome! Love disturbed and have even more respect for the now!
It’s pre planned, staged, scripted, and fake you dolt!
Gonna go to a Disturbed concert and fake passin out now

"Sometimes darkness, can show you the light."- is such a powerful line
I'm kinda hoping he meant to say 'darkness may be a place where light finds us and we in desperation there become willing to accept light'
Then Sora, Donald and Goofy appeared out of nowhere and started whacking people with some keys
he is my new hero now. yep! it's official !

@@itsjkforreal - “No man can walk so long in the darkness that he cannot return to the light.”
The toughest-looking people can have so much empathy because they have had to cope with all kinds of hardships. Love this moment, especially how kindly and gently the lead singer spoke with that little girl.
In my experience, bikers, the hardest, toughest looking f*ckers have the biggest hearts. It's the suits we need to worry about!
Metalheads are in reality the softest of the softies. And i love that.
The pure truth.
Yeah But there's always that 1 douche going full ham in the pit breakin noses n shit
Without the distortion it's just surf music.
wtf u mean? lol @@RobertFairweatherMusic
Facts, read a study a couple years ago which claimed people whose music choice is metal tend to be the most sensitive, attentive, compassionate and well natured while classical tended to attract psychopaths etc… can’t remember the entire study but was definitely interesting
Not easy to balance the needs of a crowd with the needs of an individual within a crowd. What a masterclass. He's a class act who clearly cares about his fans. What an orator, too.
Well said❤
You can expect nothing less from a good songwriter.😀
YOU GOT MY VOTE FOR PRESIDENT SON!❤
Well said. A true man and entertainer.
Love this man.
I have a whole new respect for David. That was the most compassionate thing I've seen at a concert.
He has a big ol' heart. This isn't anything new for him, he loves connecting with people
Disturbingly OUTSTANDING. I'LL support this group just based on that singers actions. Little hope left for humanity, right?
He's f****** with you trying to make it look good. Any type of concert with that many people is no place to bring a tiny little girl especially putting her in the front row what the f*** is wrong with you guys.
Seems performative
@@NoThankYouToo Yes he definitely did his job. Those parents did not do their job.
Man I didn't expect an incredible speech from clicking this video. Was never a Disturbed fan, I heard some of their songs but I'm not much of a rock listener in general but goddamn this guy, this view and these speeches are what will make the world a better place. Go man! Full on respect.
Definitely recommend their version of The Sound of Silence if you haven’t heard it.
His voice is incredible!
I suggest you check out Five Finger Death Punch as well. Some of their songs have strong messages. The best example is "Wrong Side of Heaven," which is about how bad US military veterans have it. The last three minutes of that video is a silent scrolling list of organisations, agencies, and charities which support veterans and their families.
"Coming Down" is a video that I watch for release. The original is about reenacting cyber bullying and physical bullying causing teen suicide, but it ends with the teens being saved from themselves and finding reasons to live. That final scene has the phoneline for suicide prevention in the US.
Yeah, somebody started cutting onions in here too and it ain’t helping.
He's done a lot of things that earned my respect, like he basically told a group of people that were bullying a woman that this was not acceptable, and invited her to finish the show on stage with them. ❤
She will remember that moment for her entire life. His actions speak volumes of his character. What a great guy. 👍👍
Yes and also the parents
So true. That's a memorable moment.
@@loudsquad The parents are morons. If they accepted the negative reality of the likely outcome of the experiment, she would not be there. Dave Save was epic, but better parenting would have prevented it's necessity.
@@stevenfunderburg1623I bet your kids are sheltered, pent up, confused, and probably honestly scared of you..... Don't take kids to enjoy a live concert? But what, watch some crap like 16 and pregnant, or Ru Paul or even the friggin news? Or, god forbid, they ever learn how to work a computer, or YOUR PHONE, and find out what's REALLY out there...... Music and the gathering of music appreciators, would be the very LAST thing to worry about. Live music has probably single handedly saved my life and kept me AWAY from trouble and negativity.....Don't shunt a child's appreciate live music or the experience of a show just because YOU are closed minded and can't see past all the scary stuff outside of your little safe space...
@@dillonhogan6125 I didn't say every child's potential experience of a live concert should be prohibited. In this case the outcome started to go negative, (and if not for the unprecedented coolness of DAVE , NOT THE FUCKING PARENTS, it would have, period) and at that point, because of that outcome, THIS child's should have been. But yes, you stumbled on the solution to your own problem, though you and I perceive solutions and problems in reverse. I would not intentionally bring a child into this world, and certainly not a female one. Yes, I do believe that the human race is a bad idea and the best solution is to limit the spread of that cancer by any available means. Allowing well placed fear and negativity to prevent reproduction until we are all gone would be the compassionate solution, but I don't see everyone jumping on board, so the celebration of horror, war and genocidal violence will have to do. Believe me, if I get a super villains opportunity to send a Haley's size comet directly into times square, this little philosophical argument will become irrelevant seconds later. If you're breeder trash , may that decision have the most damaging, costly and horrific consequences imaginable for you, and may you be forced, before violently perishing yourself, to accept that all of it stems directly from your arrogant, narcissistic desire and confidence to look at this world, this society and instead of saying "enough is enough" , saying "let's make more of them". One way or another death and darkness will come for you, me, all parents and every last child on earth. If I weren't a coward I would just make a noose right now and laugh as I left you to it. Have a swell day 😉
That's what I love about the scene. The fans may look scary, the lyrics may sound violent, the moshpits may look chaotic, the bandnames may be obscene, but they are some of the greatest people I have ever met. And those who look the most like you don't want to mess with them often turn out to be the kindest
The biggest softies inside often create the scariest exterior to protect themselves
❤this touches the soul . Great speech. And it's all true.❤❤❤
Very true! Love these guys ❤❤❤❤
@TeAsEnToRmEnT Many times the guys with the biggest, scariest beards are the first to cry. Seen it many times.
I don't know why, but this reminds me of Tangled.
Disturbed concerts are a family affair! Thanks for sharing 🤘❤🙏
that it is

Thank you for being a great example for society today love your music and love your messages you share to the people ❤. That was a incredible speech thank you for being you. 🤘🏻🤘🏻😌
Disturbed is just awesome!
Go David! God bless the band and Israel
"Besides darling, we may be dark, but let me share a secret with you...sometimes, darkness , can show you the light". So, so true! So beautiful and so true! ❤
To be happy and understand what happy is you need to understand sadness light and dark one without the other you would not know the difference
This mans speech was AMAZING, and the fact that he stopped the show to comfort a little girl and give that truthful speech shows how big this mans heart is and just how down to earth he is! ❤️👍
Yea it is! ❤❤
He ROCKS to the CORE!!
Love him and Disturbed!🎉❤
It also shows that he has been to the dark places and lived through them. A true wise and intelligent man. Xx
I was at that show, for context what happened is that he asked her to come on stage. She got the camera put on her and you can see her parents were excited and want her to go. But it's obvious she didn't and then she started to cry. This was all on the big screens for everyone to see during the show as well so he stopped what he was doing and went up to her to comfort her and give this epic speech.
That’s a core memory that little girl and her parents will never forget. Amazing
Parents being selfish....
@@HenrySimpleShe should have never been there. As I said above who TF takes their 12 year old to a metal concert? Do they have a 'deafwish' for their child? Metal and concerts in general are hearing-killers, not to mention the lyrics to 'Down With The Sickness" which is a great tune, but not for a 12 year-olds ears.
Kids should be innocent as long as possible, and these parents should get a fucking slap.
@@HenrySimpleTime to grow and change those perceptions homie.
@@HenrySimple How, because they took their daughter front row at an awesome concert and a rock superstar took the time to focus on her when she was scared? Yea, maybe you are just simple.
@@HenrySimple What a joy are you to have around. Must be fun to be you :)
As a 77 year old granny I must admit I absolutely love Disturbed. I've been listening to them for years and they make me happy.
Love it

That little girl will remember this for the rest of her life. I'm glad she got to have this experience!
Ive seen David stop a show at ozzfest to let a disabled kid who was crowd surfing come up on stage and kept him up there through his act. He has always been such a good human.
That's so rad
Nice, he keept him as a token to his own awesomeness.
Omg that kid will remember that forever and the fact he got to be on stage will make him the coolest kid ever at school
@@oonmm Well said. David isn't always so nice to his fans. He only likes those that worship him.
I saw Disturbed live once about 20 years ago. David stopped mid song to call out someone getting handsy in the crowd and shut it down. He's a hell of a human being, and always has been as far as I can tell. Always liked his music, but that day in Little Rock I became a fan of the man behind the music.
Was this on ohio? Cuz I had the same experience about 20 years ago
Oh u Said little rock
He talked about that on Opie & Anthony with Patrice O’Neal
I'll have to look that up, thanks.@@Iron_Thunderstorm
Thank you for sharing! I always liked them, but today I gained a very high respect! 😊
I just looked it up, and his son is the same age as this little girl. I love seeing a new generation find great music!
She is there because of her parents and probably not enjoying at all 😂
@musikerie did we even watch the same video
@musikerie he saw her singing the words to every song and he asked her to come on stage with the band. That was when she got scared.
Its generational that we must tell these people that No, the devil isn't going to come out of some board game or that's actually a man in a mannequin outfit. They call it chaos, we call it Balancing out the crazy before it gets nutty. Someone always looking for somebody to blame for all the evil in the world, and its easier to blame something they already hate. in the 70s it was KISS, in the 80s, it was David Lee Roth, in the 90s it was Metallica. Now... well they'll figure something out.
@@ViolettaD1485 that's a different Story then i only saw a intimidated and scared kid in the first row of a Rock concert and there might be people with other options but the first row of a Rock concert is usally for young folks dancing and not for families with little Kids. It's questionable if Kids should be there anyway but hey Kids can't choose their parents. I hope she had at least Protection for her ears
David just nailed It with that line at the end. I think he sure knows what he's talking about, after all he went through, and many of us feel touched by the meaning of that phrase because of what we've experienced, because we know what It means been through darkness in our lives and finally found a light, we had to experienced pain to someday encounter happiness 💔
It's also a lyric from one of their recent songs.
I love the way he speaks, it has a lovely cadence, a clipped tone, it's somehow very fascinating.
I could listen to him talk and sing all the time. He’s so soothing.
" David Draiman, the lead singer of the heavy metal band Disturbed, was classically trained as a cantor. Cantors are people who lead prayer and sing liturgical music in synagogues. Draiman's training began in his Jewish culture, where he would sing traditional songs with his father and grandfather during Sabbath meals. As a teenager, he was already leading High Holiday services. " he is a very talented singer and a very intelligent man..
He Speaks so beautiful. So eloquent. What a beautiful solid speaking voice. ❤❤❤❤
i just commented about this, even without the music his voice is just as good
David sounds kinda Russian
I’m not even a fan of this band but now I am. What a speech and cool guy period. I salute you.
Oh man. You are in for such an epic journey through timeless & amazing music. I've been listening to disturbed for 20+ years now. They are truly amazing.
@@SethWilcockikr? they are truly impeccable... incredible. Down With The Sickness, uncensored of course, is my favorite song of all time, especially the mid point!
@@vansdan.Yeah that song is awesome
Honestly the only song I know is theirs is Sound of Silence. I guess I have some listening to do. 😊
Welcome aboard. Been listening since early 2000s and he never disappoints! Draiman is a true class guy!
I have so much respect for him that he not only noticed that she was scared and having a bad moment but stopped his entire show to go comfort her and let her know everything was ok and that she was going to be ok. That is so badass!
That was incredible. What a class act.
Not to discredit wat u said but he actually noticed her singing along the whole concert and wanted to bring her up on stage but she got really shy and scared when the parents were trying to motion her to go up there. So he came down for her instead!
@@csSpetzNaz thank you so much! I was wondering why she was scared if she loved the music. I love that he didn't force her and came to comfort her instead.
He's always looking for someone to give his legendary 10 incher.
@@tokivikerness8863you are a sick person. Get help.
This guy has always reminded me of one of my Cousins. He is in the Army, as a Medic, was at the Battle of Fallujah, recently went back overseas to Kuwait because they needed a medic, and then Texas to help with border issues, and now he’s back home in Michigan as a full time Fireman, and full time Michigan National Guard Medic, and has 4 little boys and is Married. And this is exactly how he talks and acts. He has major PTSD but you wouldn’t know it unless he goes into his “freakout mode” as he calls it.
It's amazing how this man who has suffered in his life and found success in music is also helping others who have faced the same hardships and giving people a reason to just escape reality. This is the type of people we really need in our lives.
Your right not all heroes wear capes
Since the beginning of time music has filled the role you've just described and so we are grateful to this artist who obviously feels the same as you.😍
I love disturbed, but hate the idea of escaping my reality
Music can cross the barrier between all hardships and emotions. Never forget that. Joy and sorrow can break out in song and show you how amazing people are.
That little girl will never forget this. I remember when disturbed became real big and I'm glad they did. What an awesome band
Hopefully, she'll have something to share with her kids years down the road.
Agreed!
No, she won't. She learned that Daddy's fun was of greater importance than her being treated with the respect a young lady deserves.
@@angelea2184you need to relax, she will remember this.. kid or not
I’m sorry you feel that way,
I actually know a few musical families, two in their own band and the others, just your average gig goer, in there younger days they’d all go out together.
Im not a fan of the music by the band Disturbed but I am definitely a fan of these guys as humans. Phenomenal message there, very compassionate
I appreciate that you're able to separate the two - not be a fan of the music (as is your prerogative), but definitively admire them as people. We need more of that in the world.
I agree!
I’ve never listened to them - because of this, I’m going to check them out. What a beautiful human that man is.

I was at this show. This was awesome to see. The girl was singing along to every song and he invited her on stage but she got really scared. He said don’t worry and went down to talk to her and this whole thing happened. It was truly great to see

I was never into Disturbed but this melted me. I would die if I saw any artist do this at a show. Disturbed has a new fan today.
They had me with his version of the Sound of Silence from Simon & Garfunkel who in my opinion did a perfect job w that song,then I heard This Guy & Wow..

10 people died at Travis Scott Astro fest and he didn’t even stop the show you would think rock bands are the evil ones 😂😂
Makes me proud to have been a big fan since like 2005, man.. I feel old now. Almost in my 30's now. 😭🤣
this is one of the reasons I love Disturbed.....music is great....better people.....love this so much............
What a class act David is, I've seen interviews he has done with his struggles with depression and he always comes across as the most genuine, caring and compassionate guy, much respect for him.
Often those who have struggled are the ones who have the most compassion. Been there, done that type of thing. Having the ability to so eloquently speak on the spur of the moment shows that those words he spoke are how he lives, how he moves thru the world. There is wisdom in him. A lot of it.
Cool to take a deep dive into this AMAZING man:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Draiman
@@wendybutler1681wow, daaaaamn 😮😮😮
Depression is an endless desert where one thirsts for a drink they expect never to come. It's also an endless sea of saltwater, where they may drink from and go deeper into the desire for more and more and not actually receive what it is. Depression is knowing that when you pull out hope from Pandora's box, it is because hope was placed in there with all of the other maladys and hindrances as a final death knell to desire any further good thing.
Concepts like hope and fear died a very long time ago for me. I'm okay with that; I use this unique position to do everything I can to help others whenever signaled to a call to action.
Wow. I’m not a huge fan of theirs, but mad respect for seeing something and being a superlative human being. That girl, Sophia, will carry that with her forever. In sad times, she’ll remember this and it will lift her up. Marvelous. Truly marvelous.

F*** this guy that little girl could die and get trampled. Little girl has no business being at that show
David has always been my most favorite artist. Disturbed’s music helped me through ALOT of very hard times in my life. Very happy to see the type of person he really is. 10k fists will ALWAYS be my all time favorite album. Listened to them all the time in high school as well.
This is proof that despite how we in the metal community may look scary to non-metalheads, we are actually very caring of eachother and everyone because we know just how shitty it can be sometimes
Heavy rock and metal has the best fandom... Except black metal. Fuck those guys.

This man is what we call a CLASS ACT!!!!! How awesome is this man!!! He stopped playing and saw a little girl having a hard time for some reason?? So instead of just singing the songs he stopped singing and walked right down to her and her parents and talked with her. I am just in awe of how cool this is!!!!
A f#&$n good guy, a father a human being.
These parents are foolish idiots bringing a child to an adult concert like this when it’s obvious she’s not enjoying herself there or even feel comfortable. It’s selfish and pathetic how the parents cared about taking the girl to a concert where only they enjoy instead of what the little girl would enjoy
@@Kitty_bandida22 she was singing along to the songs a lot of the show you don't know why she was upset your just making assumptions karen. Apparently, she knows them well enough to sing along so stop talking down. And you're also making the assumption that the title is actually fact that she was "scared". What do you think she hears there that she doesn't hear on the street, her school, most television these days glad you didn't raise probably would have grown up with damn mittens 24/7.
@JormungandrGaming1 Wtf u talkin bout? Did u not read the comment???
@jamiejones6994 who do you think I'm talking to exactly? Yes, I did, and it's a rude ass Karen. What comment did you read rofl
I was there in the crowd that night. The girl wasn’t scared of the show or anything. He asked the parents to bring the girl on stage because she knew many songs and I guess he wanted her to sing along, but she got scared to go on stage and started crying. Then he felt bad and went down to confort her. Just wanted to clear that up in case someone thought that she was scared by the performance. She only started crying when she was asked to go on stage.
Thanks for the clarification!!!
Thx✌🏻✌🏻
Thank you!

How about Ten Thousand Fists?

Correction--Ten thumbs *up*
Wow I've been to more concerts than I can count, and I've never seen anything quite like that. To take the time out of his performance, to comfort a scared child, really demonstrates what a kind, compassionate person he is
Im 29 and ive never seen anything live. But i felt the power of this video as if i were there
Tell me cash app to send you moneyyuyy
He doesn't make more money for that.
Also look around you'll see many rockstars doing similar thing stopping shows for similar reasons. There's just a lot of them who are nice people
Lemme tell you that most rock or metal singers or most members of rock and metal bands are actually kind, loving and caring people, who have their own families, their own kids, and they want nothing else than a better world. You'd be surprised how many tough looking guys have really soft and warm heart in reality. Appearance is often misleading.
Well said!
Im a grown man, biker, truck driver,husband and a father and uncle and this just made me tear up man, I love disturb even more after hearing this
ME TOO BRO
Me three
Me four
Me too. David is brilliant
Damn I didn’t know grown men, bikers, truck drivers, husbands, fathers and uncles were SISSIES
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! I'M 54 AND LOVE LOVE THIS BAND!!!!

😂
😂 why haven’t y’all been able to do it yourself ?
She will definitely remember this moment for the rest of her life. So awesome. And he taught such a positive and important message too.
It's amazing to see his intelligence and true self comes out of the darkness and show everyone respect love and to show it's an act his darkness and songs are sung for enjoyment and entertainment
She's gonna remember that moment for the rest of her life. Respect.

@@jimr880You’re trolling the wrong crowd, dude. We don't need to belittle someone else’s joy in order to feel righteous.
This is why we need music. It unites us,it heals us, it shows us that in this messed up world, peace love and understanding is all we need.
I completely agree. Someone once said in a speech (and maybe she was quoting, I don’t remember right now):
„art is the highest plane on which humans meet.“
That's why it's such a strong propaganda tool.
Music is a universal language. My band from Sweden played the same music together with a Japanese band on American soil. I've also played Калина пам'яті (Ukrainian marsch) with Ukrainian refugees. Music unites us in a way nothing else can
It takes me away from the lies of the media and politics. Music keeps me sane...
No... this is why need parenting. Not support animal moralists who are gonna call this abuse, because they never had that conversation, on either side of it. Just let to "grow up" automatically when a random number clicks on, which is both the starting line and already the deadline, coddled until 18 and fed to the grinder a minute later.
that was heart warming and brought tears
This is why disturbed is one of my favorite bands. David is an amazing human. His life has been absolutely terribly tough and he’s got a heart of gold.
How has it been tough??
It’s pre planned, staged, scripted, and fake you dolt!
Interesting, I like bands because of good music, hence the reason why I don't like disturbed.

Been to a Disturbed show before, and David Draiman is such a fantastic human. Cares about everyone who attends his shows. I’ve always enjoyed their music since the late 90s, but after going to a show for the first time I was so shocked at what an amazing person he is. He did a whole tribute to his good friend Chester Linkcoln Park through the song Sound of Silence and it was beautiful. Highly recommend you go to one if you haven’t.
I've been lucky enough to see both ❤❤❤ Chester broke my heart
I’ve never been a big metal fan, don’t hate it but I grew up in the 70s-80s to that era of rock but I’ll tell ya what, WOW!!! For some reason this video clip started playing on my phone and I started to close it out but something held my finger back for a second and let me tell ya, that was the best two minutes I have spent listening to someone about us as a whole, and how we are gonna survive the chit our governments are putting us through right now, and how we are gonna prosper…… together, once we get through it but he is exactly right folks, we have got to stand UNITED and help one another no matter what music you listen too or what I listen to, we are still both human beings with feelings and dreams of success, dreams of having a partner, a home, possibly a family, certain cars, etc. Please folks, let’s continue his message and continue broadcasting it across the globe and work to love one another, help one another, etc cause without us working together, there’s no way we can defeat our governments tyranny when they come to lock us down again! They are dividing us so they can control us easier but I’m willing to protect you if you’ll help me and together we will defeat them and then we will prosper instead of them and we can continue listening to different varieties of music and respect one another and have a long & happy life!!
I’ve gotta run for now tho cause I’ve gotta go pull up some Disturbed music and listen to what I’ve been missing all these years cause this guy is fantastic and everything he said is absolutely true!!!!
Disturbed is a One Hit Wonder and DD lives near me. He's a dbag.
I've seen them in concert too and he has such a great heart ❤
@@1982MCIAmen. God bless 🙏❤️
I am a firm believer that music was given to us as a gift from our home, and it's intended purpose is to comfort us while we're alive. He's right, life is hard, for all of us. It's from our home. All of it, rap, metal, country, pop, house/dance, punk, classical, all of it. Even some that we haven't invented yet. Dude is a class act.
You had me until rap.
@@rantsfromthesofa4653rap can be great you just have to look for good stuff. not the mumble garbage you hear in the mainstream.
@@rantsfromthesofa4653So his entire speech went over you head then?
@@rantsfromthesofa4653, you have clearly missed the point
Our home, you mean the stars?
She became a disturbed fan for life after this amazing, heartfelt interaction
“Sometimes, darkness can show you the light.”
It’s honestly amazing how good that was to say to her.
She’s crying because she’s scared, and he was able to comfort her and spread positivity.
And it only happened because he accidentally scared her. That terrifying man she saw on stage showed her she didn’t need to be scared him and gave her loving vibes from the whole crowd.
It’s fantastic
The light being never go to a disturbed concert again lul
And what a lesson to remember
"There is no dark side in the moon, really. Matter of fact it's all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the sun"
@@TacticalBe right, and these people really believed that quote haha
Lots of metal bands are like this
Sometimes you meet your heroes and they aren't very nice.
I know very little about Disturbed but this is pure class and genuine kindness
He's done things like this a few times. He's real.
I was thinking the same thing. Don't know who he he is but I love what he said and feel the exact same way.
What a guy. Like some of the other posts I won't pretend to know a lot about them but this is just class .
I know nothing about Disturbed, but what he said resonates through all music and people
@tattooedman42 yep hes a really good dude very big heart
"Sometimes darkness can show you the light"
Powerful words.
Powerful song.
yeah, someone should write a song about that 🤔
The girl:" ohhh ah ah ah ah!"
That statement is philosophicaly, logicaly and pragmaticaly, nonsensical idiocy.
@mikhailyaremkiv not really. For example, if you want to see if something glows, you don't look at it sunlight, do you? The people i know with the most genuine joy for life are also the ones who have seen more pain than anyone ever should. It's very much 'sometimes having nothing makes you appreciate every tiny thing you get'
Sophia is gonna remember that moment for the rest of her life. Disturbed is absolutly amazing 💜
This speech made me love Disturbed even more. Kudos to David for comforting that little girl and giving that heartfelt speech.
The gentleman has unfortunately spoken incorrectly , profanity (swearing and irreligious behaviour is not acceptable). Jesus was God's son his life was blameless and yet died for our sins , he also only spoke excellent things , we must conform to the image and likeness of Jesus and his teachings in bible book Luke and we must obey them to enter paradise instead of the fire of gehenna for rebellion , not to earthly idols whether that be artists or anything more important than God. The child must have felt in her spirit that something was not right , one should not first go through the darkness to find out there's light , go straight to the light of Jesus and skip the darkness
"Sometimes, darkness can show you the light." I'm in tears. As someone with bipolar, it's not something I know. He's right and it was an amazing thing to say. What an amazing man he is.
I have depression, anxiety, PTSD due to extreme abuse growing up and have faced darkness until I have seen the light. I like Disturbed so much, their music has helped me through some of the dark times.
I'm with ya on that one. I didn't expect to be in tears either, but that line really reminded me that as well.
Without darkness there can be no light.
Same 🤘😭✌️
Bro fr i shed a tear wtf
I recently worked at a concert while a stereotypical "heavy metal" band was there, and let me tell you: every single customer I talked to was AWESOME. They were super respectful, even if I had to tell them something they didn't want to hear. I was blown away. They were the nicest crowd I ever had the pleasure of interacting with. (For those curious, the worst crowds are generally rap concerts)
I remember in concerts where people got hurt or died all were rap
@@dragonmerchant we recently had a Snoop concert in which nearly 20 ambulances had to be dispatched for various reasons I'm unaware of. During the concert I mentioned in my original comment, we had 1, and it wasn't even on the venue's property.
@@MegaFPVFlyer metal head crowds are allways the best and most respectfull. our anger goes away with the music. while theres music just fuels the fire
@dragonmerchant I had heard about this but never experienced it firsthand. The insane part is that, during the concert in question, there were PROTESTERS near the main entrance because the band portrayed ""satanic imagery."" Despite the fact that every single one of the 500-1000 people I talked to were extremely considerate and kind. One of the protesters assaulted my teenage coworker, forcing her to be sent home temporarily. If they were half as nice as the people they were protesting against, the world would be a better place.
Can say the same. Not even one bad encounter (maybe 2 or 3 people who where just inpatient). Old people, rap and electro fans have been relative worse than metalheads
Eloquent, articulate and empathetic. I salute you sir.
Say what you want about their music but you cant deny that the Disturbed boys are good dudes and deserve the success they've achieved.
Amen!!
@@1982MCIamen??????????? Oh you people are sick, that demonic concert is no place for children, and to say Amen to what God would never allow is wicked
Damn straight, air.
She literally became a huge part of the concert. The stories she'll tell to her grandchildren are priceless.
Respect to Disturbed.
It takes brass balls to turn a concert venue into a classroom about life. I'm a casual fan of Disturbed. Worked security for one of their concerts way back in the day.
It's pretty awesome when you take your family to concerts. I think the talent gets more out of the experiences. Like this.
Brass? I'd label it DIAMOND!
Even after so many decades of success, David is true class act and so down to earth.
It's the reason why disturbed is my favourite band of all time.
Ask aPalistinian
You know, I love their music, and he is a big scary looking guy… The very fact that he stopped a show to comfort that frightened girl… Mad ass respect for that man, seriously. I think I love them more now than I ever did. His words were true and his actions spoke volumes. ❤
Says a lot about the Individual.❤
Why was she frightened?
@@johnr797maybe irl singing came off kinda aggressive.b
@@ultraboombean Yeah it was kind of a rhetorical question. It's cool that the singer took the time to calm her down, but I really think the parents are stupid for bringing her there in the first place, regardless of intent. It's like taking a kid to a haunted house with actors with chainsaws, etc. who happen to be nice enough to take off their mask and tell them not to worry. Why even put them in that situation? Seems selfish on their part.
This is why Disturbed has lasted so long, not just cause they're great music, but they have a heart for their fans.
Not their music
They're a One Hit Wonder.
This is amazing! If everyone could be like him, we would be a better world! Great integrity! What a great man.
What an absolute class act by the lead singer of a hard metal band. To take the time out of his show and show such compassion for this little girl is truly amazing. He is not afraid of his image, or anything fake like a lot of entertainers. He showed his true human spirit which I feel he should be proud. These are the guys that we all root for in life and become fans of. Well done,,,
He's always shown true compassion and concern not only for fans but humanity in general. He's just a cool dude!
This happens more often than you would think, especially in the metal scene :D
That's the word I was looking for as I watched this.... "Class" pure
And they're no so HARD metal any more which I find disturbing. I guess I'll just have to keep playing my older CDs.
I saw him last month in Tampa. For those who don't know, he has been struggling with depression and attempted suicide a while back. Thank god, he did not succeed. They are one of the few musicians speaking out against depression and promoting help lines. They are speaking out against hate and violence. At every show, he reaches out to people and tells his story. How many people have they saved!?!?!?!?! I can only imagine. ❤
I can honestly say that I've never felt so safe at a concert as I did when I went to metal and hard rock shows. The kindest, most generous and loving people I've ever met were the audience at these shows. And some I've been friends with for nearly 40 years now.
Other than getting my short self kicked in the head by standing too close to the mosh pit at a Godsmack concert, I completely agree!😂
@@americanrn125 ig you're a god lol

@@gremlinwc8996 We nurses are prepared for anything, and roll with the punches!😂
@@americanrn125 real lol, I'm just saying that if you got smacked at a Godsmack concert then you must be a god
this band has been apart of my life for so long. their music helped me through the darkest parts of my life.
Ive never been a huge fan (I dig some songs) of Disturbed music but I think the lead singer is a really enlightened person. We need more people like him in the world.
The Sound of Silence cover is my favorite song he put out. I know its not his own song but he made it his own.
I like his version of that song more than the original!!
Fun Fact, David is a big fan of Simon and Garfunkel's music and met with them once and they told him they liked his version a lot and he should claim it as his own as it contrasted theirs so beautifully
🥹🥹
The original is much better
Disturbed’s version is by far the better version!
That was one of the best onstage speeches by a rock singer ever. Respect.🙏♥️🎤
What a really great guy to stop his concert just to make sure the little girl was okay. You Sir are the only person who stopped immediately and saw how scared she was and you went above and beyond to go check on her. I have much respect for you. That family will remember that for a very long time. What an incredible speech coming from the heart, you're truly amazing.
The musicians were better parents to the girl than the girls parents. What were they thinking.
@@ryancampbell4445seriously. I was at the front for Disturbed recently and it was shit. It's very unsafe for a child. Every big band has the same problems.
Every minute he virtue signals is one he doesn't have to sing.
Now more parents will bring their little kids to the front for attention.
Of course she's going to be fucking scared!! Her dumbass parents brought their small child to a disturbed concert and brought her all the way up front....
Lots of metal bands actually care about the well being of their fans. Especially little kids.
Man, this has me motivated!!!! It's why I love this side of the Rock/Metal spectrum. These people have such huge hearts.
This is just such a cool, beautiful moment for Rock and Metal concerts. When everyone just loves talking about the negative or violent fun stuff that happens at concerts, THIS moment really stands out as refreshing, real, and so totally positive.
Draiman's tone of voice is so amazing when addressing the girl and all fans. And HE'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! So what if there's a little profanity!? Who cares! It's music, and positive freedom of expression at a concert!! And the girl was with her awesome parents too! I really will forever respect and remember this moment.
oh well, its no secret that metal has the best community and people.
@pongmaster123 true bro most metal heads I've met in my life are super fuckin awesome people and when it gets real there the best to talk to
I'm 60, my mother was a staunch Christian and she was horrified that I was going to rock concerts, smoking cigarettes and a bit of weed, and swearing, never in front of her BTW. She bought into what the msm told her about us and decided I was going to Hell and told me that many times in my life. The more she treated me like that the deeper I went into the darkness eventually getting addicted to crack. On xmas eve 2004 I walked away from everyone I knew and got clean. I've been alone for almost 20 years now and my spirituality is all I've been caring about until just the other day when I decided to put rock and roll back into my life so I could have some fun and I'm not regretting it! And it's not harming my soul one tiny bit, in fact, it's lifting me up, especially stuff like this! I haven't spoken to my mother in years she still thinks I'm worshipping Satan. It's sad but there's nothing I can do about it but be happy in my own way! This was awesome!! I'm sick of the divide politics and the msm is creating too!!
@farrenrohana that non the main stream media, I have not seen the msm talk bad about metal community since the 80s. That's religion talking.
@@richmax8486 how old are you?
Disturbed was very therapeutic music for me when I was younger. It helped me get through a lot. I hope one day I can tell them that in person.
I hope you can too 🙏
Likewise. I used to be so alone all the time.
I was a mess of a teen suffering from medication side effects/withdrawals, taking my schooling in the corners of some hospital high up in some woodland area.. that time was such an odd place and time
Same here - Disturbed and Godsmack. Don't know what I woulda done without them ❤
I read person as prison and laughed hard. 😂 Damn those small phone screens!
I absolutely love the sound of silence that’s my number 1 song from disturbed at least
The WORLD needs to see this. Compassion, caring, doing the right thing, and most of all INSPIRATION. David didn't embarrass her, he lifted her and everyone else there. Blessings to all.
This is why i love metalheads and being one 🤘
It’s pre planned, staged, scripted, and fake you dolt!
@@rhexxgreymane4121 Lol Damn things change quick....
ive always enjoyed Disturbed, this just made me a fan
What a guy, what a band, I had the pleasure of meeting Disturbed before a concert and David is so humble and polite, I was in a devastating car crash, I broke every bone on the left side of my body and my neck aswell, my main artery to my heart was ripped open, I was in a coma for 6 months and died 3 times, “The Light” gave me the strength to fight and I’m walking and living my life like it never happened, against all the odds. David thanked me for telling him my story, such a blessing to have met him. Music is very powerful and can drag you up from the deaths of despair. ❤
God bless you and may you have many more healthy days.
@@ccl1195 Thank you 🙏🏼
This made me cry, thank you 🙏 for sharing that it’s truly inspiring as someone who has had three surgeries this past year one of them being brain surgery and it’s been a rough recovery but reading this made me feel appreciative that God is good and teaches us lessons we never knew we’d learn and grow from. Much love to you.
@@CholyFlower The human body is an amazing thing and with the right mindset you can achieve anything.

This makes me feel honored to be a Disturbed fan. That was a wonderful moment right there.
@@Getitleft That's exactly what I'm talking about. Thanks for sharing 👍
@rumplestiltskinn I understand what you're saying. Even of people don't care for someone's music we can all still appreciate showing kindness to eachother. 👍

Hell of a guy, David Draiman. After watching this video, guy has earned my respect in a lot of ways. Would love to see Disturbed live one day 💯💯
Do it
You won’t regret it!!!
I really like this man. Not only for his ability to sing but his compassion.
I'm not a huge fan of their music, but that act of kindness brought tears to my eyes.
Tears 😂 really.
Get up, come on get down with the kindness!
@@OiNathann wow
I've never heard of this band, but my god, what an AMAZING speech he gave. Gave me goosebumps.
You should check out Disturbed's cover of 'The Sound of Silence". The live version from the Conan show. Aired March 28, 2016
Impeccable presentation. ✌️😺
Same...the exact same.
You've definitely heard of down with the sickness he sings it.
@@PhoenixLyon yeah they're really good
..how? The Sound Of Silence?
Hes such a nice guy! Saw them live this year and he cried on stage while holding a speech on depression, drugs and suicide. It was intense!
Key word “drugs”

Great speech by an AMAZING man!!! I love Disturbed's music!!! The fact that this man noticed that the little girl was scared and took the time out to stop the show and talk to her and comfort her is just plain AMAZING!!! Truly great human being!!!
Could you imagine if disturbed used this as an intro to a song? Mad respect to david for being such a compassionate, talented and solid human being.
Yeah I was expecting them to go hard as fuck after this. Where's the clip hahaha
would be epic if je said everyone put youre fist up!
That would be SO COOL! The "let me tell you a secret, Darlin'... Sometimes the darkness can show you the light" at the beginning of a song. Epic! Like the Dumbledore quote “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”❤
Lame beyond my comprehension
I believe they played "the light" next
"Sometimes darkness can show you the light"
That's so freaking TRUE! Big respect.
Kjv[John 3:19]
Indeed
this is apart of one of their songs called the light
he should write a song about that
I'm thinking their next song should be called Sophia! 🤔
I love this band even more. This band, all of them, truly have hearts for their fans. I’ve witnessed it at a show back in 2010 in Maryland and there’s multiple videos on YT where David jumps down from the stage and talks to his fans if he thinks something is wrong. They may be a hard edge group of guys but when it comes to their fans, they’re a bunch of softies. Truly a class act.
Tell me cash app to send you moneyuyyy
Wow. SO awesome. This - THIS is what a true man in every sense of the word looks and acts like. Always loved their music, now have another reason to love them even more.
He didn't stop the show because the girl was scared, He stopped the show because he was blown away by the girl singing along to all his songs.. A true artist who appreciates his fans.. ❤
Here I was wondering what actually happened. Scared? How?? Especially if she was there singing her heart out to the tunes. But what's also cool is when these metalheads go and mind the kids. See, that's what I generally like about metalheads. They tend to be gentle giants. But I wonder why he was asking if she was okay, though?
That’s not true. He stopped the show because he did scare her.
He literally said he didn’t mean to scare her.
Well that was the 2nd reason, he said he didn't mean to scare her & then he was trying to show there's nothing to be scared of & started complimenting her to take mind off what just happened but either theory, it was nice of him👍
Why is he asking her if she’s ok then?
That’s dumb because I bet 95% of the people there could say the same
