Music as a Weapon Tour.

[Maximum Carnage]

I tried looking for a music forum, but I couldn't find anything .. so don't burn me. :whatever:


Anyway, I caught this show last night. Bands were Disturbed, StoneSour, Three Days Grace, Flyleaf, and Nonpoint. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen .. mainly because of Disturbed (my favorite band).

Anyone else see this show? What did you think of each band's performance?

[Mr Sparkle]

I tried looking for a music forum

there needs to be a music forum.

but yeah....all those bands uh....not so good.

Anyway, I caught this show last night. Bands were Disturbed, StoneSour, Three Days Grace, Flyleaf, and Nonpoint.I'm so sorry. :csad:

But, you were forced to go at gunpoint...weren't you?

[Maximum Carnage]

**** no. I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about .. I had a good time.

[thedeadite]

i don't think i can name a single song by any of those bands.... nu-metal though right?

[Mr Sparkle]

crap-rock?

[Ghostvirus]

I love Disturbed. I have heard a little of Stone Sour, but hell seeing Disturbed in concert would be worth it enough. Lucky bastard:cwink:

[Mr Sparkle]

is there some co-relation between the carnage names and nu-metal?
perhaps a thesis is in order.

HA.

Hmm. Just for you, Mr. Sparkle .. I'm going to post some PICS!

:woot:

[jaguarr]

I dunno, I like some of Disturbed's music and I appreciate Stone Sour whereas I can't stand Slipknot. The girl from Flyleaf also has a very interesting voice. I'd probably go to that show, too. It wouldn't be the best show I've ever seen, I'm sure (Nobody yet has topped Stevie Ray Vaughn, and I've seen some incredible shows since then), though.

[unstoppable]

DISTURBED is my favorite band:woot:

and who cares what other people think

[unstoppable]

I'm so sorry. :csad:

why do people say this crap DISTURBED is a talented band

[Maximum Carnage]

I do have some of Flyleaf, Three Days Grace, and Stone Sour .. if you guys would want them posted.

Just say so.

[jaguarr]

why do people say this crap DISTURBED is a talented band

I like some of their songwriting, but from a purely musical perspective they don't write anything particularly challenging that requires a great deal of musicanship to play. They write aggression-rock and they do it well, but they aren't insanely talented by any means.

I'd just call them hard rock or heavy metal. Nu-Metal is crap like Korn and Lincoln Park.

I like his cover of "people equals ****" from slipknot :up:
just highlights the sillyness of the lyrics.

[Sarge 2.0]

jagYeah. My personal favorites are his renditions of Man in the Box, Enter Sandman, and More Human Than Human. Haha, I think he also covered You Oughta Know, which sounds hilarious.

Also, Disturbed can show flashes of talent, but most time they're wayyyy too silly for their own good. And Nonpoint and Three Days Grace just make Baby Jesus cry.

I've never heard Nonpoint or Three Days Grace. They're not on my list of things to listen to anytime soon. Disturbed aren't any more silly than some of the other longstanding acts on the scene like Slayer and Metallica. They're all full of posturing and ridiculousness, which is part of their charm to me. (Granted, Slayer and Metallica can play their instruments a kabillion times better than Disturbed, though). They've all got that 80's Metal attitude, which they all stole from Judas Priest anyway. Heh! If you REALLY want to hear something ridiculous and atrocious, check out Avenged Sevenfold or Eighteen Visions. Those guys are truly worth a laugh.

jagdepends on who you ask really I think they have uniqueness to them musically and vocally


plus I hate most 80's bands including Metallica

Uniqueness does not equal musical talent. I guarantee you that Disturbed's guitar player can't hold a candle to Kerry King or Kirk Hammett. They play things that are far and away outside his abilities.

plus I hate most 80's bands including MetallicaTheir vocalist is pretty interesting, and I dug it when they did the Land of Confusion cover, but overall their tone and whatnot is kind of generic.

I think that you need to take in to consideration the fact that bands like Metallica and Megadeth paved the way for acts like Disturbed. I'm not asking you to like them or anything, but if not for Metallica, I don't think that Disturbed would be around.

[Motown Marvel]

so....what are these bands using their music-weapon to fight against?

[unstoppable]

so....what are these bands using their music-weapon to fight against?their usin' their music as a symbol on the war or something like that

[jaguarr]

again that's yer opinion

Ummm, noooo, that's a fact. As a musician myself, I can hear the difference in technical ability between different players and Disturbed's guitarist does well with what he does but just doesn't have the technical ability to play the types of things someone like Kerry King does. What I DO like is that bands like Disturbed and Godsmack are bringing back metal and hard rock after the disaster that is/was nu-metal and it's inspiring a whole new generation of players to pick up instruments and really try to learn how to play the damn things. In the process, they're picking up on the older stuff like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica and many, many others where there was some serious musicianship and finding inspiration in that and learning how to play it. In another five years or so, we're going to se a big rebirth of high caliber musicianship being touted and very well regarded like it was back in the 80's and that's awesome to me.

Disturbed's strength is their singer, their songwriting and the lyrics and imagery he's able to conjure. It's not in their musicanship.

I do agree that it wouldn't be DISTURBED without David Draiman


then again no band really sounds the same after they lose a singer
