it is a shame that david just cant perform live like he used to, but damn atleast he tries. i still remember music as a weapon 2, now that was a fantastic performance- he was perfect (obviously this was way befor his throat surgery) but atleast he didnt give up singing because of it. becuause that would of been terrible!.
I love disturbed, they are one of my favorite bands. and this never happend when i went to their concert, but david sure does squeak alot when he sings live
david nails all other performances. but in the night david fails completely. he just cant reach to the pitch in which he originally sang. here he sounds like he's gonna pop his vocal cord !!!!
@shadow1010105 They can't be the best. I didn't say I didn't like them, but they're not the best. Almost every video I've seen of them live, he sound BAD! But, I still love them. Like I said, I can't blame him, he's got balls. Disturbed Rocks!!!
@UrProBitch this is only recently and on recent tours... He blew out his voice in the middle of 06' i believe it was and had to cancel the tour. You try singing with that kind of style and technique for more then a decade and see how much your voice holds up.
@UrProBitch try to watch Music as weapon II or the Old School Disturbed Live Videos when David had some hair. It's sad David blew out his voice. Even if you're not a Disturbed fan you can't say they suck live in almost every video lol . You can say that because you watched only a fev live vids of Disturbed (2008-2009-2010) . They were so good live around the time they released The "Believe" Album . Anyway, Disturbed Rocks !!! and sorry for my english
Thats right. I have heard him sing live after his surgery. Yes it's different and you would say that hes straining his voice. But I agree, all your hearing in the video is the treble in the microphone. He really is great live, they rocked the shit down in Ozzfest in 2006.
David has improved allot at this song, he used struggle with allot of the notes but now he's kicking ass. And I don't know if you've tried singing this song, it's fucking impossible. So good one David :D.
@DisturbedAidan2 yes ii actually signed up 2 sing this song 4 my schools talent show b4 actually attemting iit, and ii realized iit was prob 1 of the hardest songs ever 2 song without my voice and cracking and sounding terrible...
i love disturbed whether there live, cd's, and etc. i think they're the most amazing things on the face of the earth. David draiman inspires me. and i love them live!
To Clear things up. i was actually there at this concert and yes there was a few songs where he sounds differant but most of what you hear in this video is just the audio from the device used to record it. actually being there sounded way better.
Why the bad voice? That sounds like me singing. Strep throat, I guess. But still, I can tell that is the voice that orginally sang the the song, its just.... like he's out of breath.
the album or the song? the song was released before The Night was, but yes the album is the most recent to be released by them. Either way, even though it is the most recent album, it's still hard to pull this song off even if he hasn't been performing this one for years like other songs in the set list.
He wasn't even doing bad. This song requires probably the highest level of vocal dynamics that this man is capable of! Anyone else can try singing this song every single night and will fail miserably. Probably the hardest song to pull of live vocally and it still sounded good.
P.S. - He actually did have strep throat at the beginning of the Music as a Weapon run. He even stated in an interview he did but either way, he sounds fine for a sick man in this.
you are absolutely right. but disturbed shouldn't use voice effects on the albums. because he cant sund like tht live, except for maybe indestructable
well the thing is is that they don't use effects. that is indeed how his actual voice sounds on the record. no studio effects done to make it sound better or anything. the problem is that he sings the song like that for the record only once to get it recorded so of course it sounds exactly how they'd like. when he sings it every day after over a year of relentless touring, it ain't gonna sound the best, or as good as people would like.
that's not special effects. that's still his regular voice, just being layered over. it's not like they used the studio to change the sound of his voice. a lot of bands do that. plus they only layered it in the very end, you can hear the more high pitched vocals in the background. either way, don't wanna argue over it, i don't consider layering vocals "special effects".
The Night was played 7th in numerical order, Their setlist was the exact same for all of the Weapon tour. Do you really think that he could sing 6 songs before and not sound bad?? No, David did not have Strep throat. They have been on tour since before the release of Indestructible in the beginning of June of 08 in support of the album. Did you ever consider that hes just really tired?? this song just requires a higher level of vocal aerodynamics and the poor guy just couldnt do it at this level
His voice was too worn out to preform at the level in which the song demands so in turn the performance suffered. Besides, If he tried to preform with strep throat he probably would have damaged his voice. David is not stupid, Disturbed is not only his band, but his lifestyle and career, he would not have done anything to put that on the line. He did not have strep throat. Lets just put it this way, If he had strep throat at this particular time, then Im as rich as Donald f**kin Trump.
Right you are buddy. I've seen them four times including once in Chicago, Illinois for the Music as a Weapon IV tour and they are ALWAYS badass as hell!!! and their tickets are always cheaper than most bands. Disturbed always delivers.
I highly doubt he had strep throat, more likely this is just a hard song to sing. I think he could do this song perfectly if he knocked it down an octave, or maybe tried to sing it cleaner w/ less growl in his voice especially if his voice was fatigued
I didn't know he had Strep Throat, but one thing i'll tell you about The Night, it's a hard ass song, i can't play it right, cause it breaks out my voice with it's freakin hard high notes, so i could also be song on top of strep throat and fatigue, it happens.
Saw 'em in Chicago. I tell ya, I'm almost pushing 30 and a back injury. The younger Chicagoans kicked my ass that concert, I had a fuckin' great time.
Hey I was at Glens Falls too! Did you go behind the building after the show and meet the guys? All four of them came out to sign stuff and take pictures like they always do. There were only a handful of us back there.
Yeah he had strep-throat during this week. Listen to the 3-part interview he gave in Portland, ME. He mentioned it there and apologized sincerely for not being at his best at these shows.
I went to this concert in Cleveland Ohio, was my first ever concert, I was hyped on so much adrenaline i could barely take it, hen disturbed finally came on i was jumping and screaming and moshing like none other!
David's voice sounds weak. I'm... very surprised by this as I'm supposed to go to the show tomorrow in Detroit. Perhaps it was a bad night? I doubt it listening to this, but I'll find out eh?
dude I have seen disturbed live and I think I can tell when david is worn out and he is worn out in these videos. The guy just wants to give everyone a show. but He can not sacrafice his voice, like he is doing in this video.
His voice was off, I remember I was kinda tripping on it at the show but this was my favorite song! He's the best nonetheless, I know he can sing fucking awesome live, I seen them before!
I do agree, when I heard this song on the show I went to, it definitely did sound a lot different. But, even watching the youtube videos of that performance, he sounded much better than he does now. This constant touring they've been doing all year long so far is kind of a bad move. In my opinion, anyway. I loved Disturbed, and I was hoping to go to one of the MAAWIV showings, but I wont be able to, which does sadden me. But, it seems the exhaustion is getting to him.
i couldnt agree more especially with metal bands your vocals can get very tired out extremely easily. they should've stopped a month ago. next album they should try to lay a little loose on the high notes and the low notes, which he is more suited to. i just hope he doesnt fuck up his voice too much before the next Aussie tour =)
couldnt agree more man david is so good but i dont want him to sound like shit wen i c them next hope the next album is great n hope they cum to aus real soon
I saw them with Skindred and Sevendust back in late January, and they are simply amazing. The quality of these videos demeans what it sounds like when you're actually there. However, some of these videos (like this one) pick up some really weird voice waves.
I love Disturbed as much as every other major Disturbed fan, but I don't suck David's dick like you do. He is a GREAT vocalist, but he obviously had a hard time with this song. His constant touring and exhaustion is more than enough to make him sound worse, so I give him a lot of kudos for still trying and pushing himself. But, there were a few parts in this video where his voice screeched.
Completely agree with you dude. I was there for the PHX show, and thought in addition to the rare screech, he was consistently a little off vocally. Of course, now I sound like an american idol critic...
Overall, the show was awesome and made up for it.
I agree whole heartedly. I honestly consider David to be an amazing vocalist, and one of the best at that. Disturbed has been my favorite band for almost 10 years.
it is a shame that david just cant perform live like he used to, but damn atleast he tries. i still remember music as a weapon 2, now that was a fantastic performance- he was perfect (obviously this was way befor his throat surgery) but atleast he didnt give up singing because of it. becuause that would of been terrible!.
