Hey man... You don't know me or the general tone of my posts, so be careful jumping in head-first.

That said, I think you missed the point. My point was that I can't think of a single guitar player I know who couldn't do Dan Donegan's job. And I know some pretty terrible guitar players. He's not writing or playing anything impressive or complicated. And most of the "hooks" they write are way overused and usually not just by them. IMO, they are a bunch of lucky HACKS.

while I understand and respect your opinion the way I look at it ,and this is by no means a way of starting some kind of arguement, I don't care how simple the riffs are. At the end of the day what matters is if the song writing rules and the riffs and tones fit the song. I dig their song writing myself but I can see the redundancy to it.
 
The only Disturbed songs I really still can tolerate are the "Shout 2000" Tears For Fears cover they did on their first record, and on the following record, the song "Remember" is actually pretty cool, especially the chorus. Otherwise, they are an absolute waste of time. They always talk up their forthcoming material so much, but I really honestly feel that they have gotten worse with each album they've released...the chord structures have gotten more boring, the melodies have gotten more boring and typical, and the solos are only notable due to the fact that they bothered adding them. And what I think irritates me the most, is that you would think that after four or five albums into their career, their singer would quit it with those lame, gimmicky throat noises and at least try to somehow step up his role in the band and be able to look back and see that he has been progressing in his craft...but over the years of casually paying attention to them, I have continued to get the exact same stale vibe from him. It seriously sounds like he puts no thought whatsoever into progressing as a vocalist or even just simply being creative, and that kills what little good feelings I might have otherwise had about Disturbed.

EDIT:

Plus it's pretty cool in the "Remember" video when the glass behind the band explodes out, haha:

I read in Guitar Player that the new album's main rhythm tones are a mix of Bogner Ecstasy > Bogner 4x12 w/V30s and Randall MTS/signature 1086 preamp > Mesa 4x12 w/V30s. Solos were a blend between Tube Screamer > Marshall and PodXT Pro. Overdubs used a bunch of shit. :p

and don't forget that they had a release where the title of the album and every song on it was 1 word

i know it's a shitty reason to not like a band, but c'mon...it isn't that hard to think of 2 words to put into a song title
 
^ that reminds me of incubus (sorry to go ot) while i do respect them alot more than disturbed ( their not a fav, but have some decent tunes) i have noticed that pretty much ever hit single they released is some sort of saying. "wish you were here" "pardon me" "nice to know you" cmon now!!!
 
you guys fawk the fancy and technical solos and riffs its all about making music thats what maters in the end if its easy to play it doesnt
mean it sucks:rock:
 
the fact their simple doesnt make them suck, its the fact that they suck

borahahaha

p.s i fucking hate when bands that never soloed in the late 90`s start to solo cause its cool now. i like slipknot, but their newer stuff falls in this category

I remember thinking "im gonna bring back solos" in the late 90`s lol
 
I'm pretty sure this site is located at "ultimateMETAL.com".... Disturbed is NOT a metal band. Trust me. They are a hard ROCK band. I am not insulting them. I am calling it like I see it. And please... no n00bs questioning my "credentials". I've been a full blown metal fan since '88.
 
I like a lot their drop-D riff style.
IMO Disturbed belongs to a "modern metal" category alongside with names like Godsmack, Skindred, System Of A Down, Linkin Park, Stactic-X, etc.
Don´t think that makes much sense compare them to Nevermore, Iron Maiden, Dio or these traditional metal bands.
