Disturbed vocalist David Draiman couldn't be more proud of his bandmate Dan Donegan's new Schecter guitar. The guitar bluntly states "fuck cancel culture" in the Coca-Cola font, which raises one very obvious question – why the Coca-Cola font? And if you really wanted people to read it while you're playing, wouldn't it make more sense to put the slogan at the bottom and reconfigure the electronics a little bit?
No word on if Donegan will be taking the guitar out on the road with the band, but I'm sure doing so will incite the expression of a few opinions. Which I guess is the entire purpose of owning a guitar that says "fuck cancel culture" and posting a photo of it online.
Disturbed recently began teasing new music after revealing they recently filmed a music video. Draiman recently told the crowd at a Camden, NJ show that the band's new record is indeed "heavy as fuck" with a few tender moments too. "And it's about 90 percent heavy as fuck," said Draiman at the show. "Now there's still 10 percent of caring, loving goodness — 10 percent. Hey, for everybody that fell in love with 'The Sound Of Silence' cover, I figured, you know… But the rest of it? Sickness, Ten Thousand Fists-era Disturbed, for sure. You excited about that? 'Cause I'll tell you we're really fucking excited about it."
Draiman recently compared the new material to The Sickness and Ten Thousand Fists (again), calling it "pummeling and rhythmic and aggressive and anthemic and poly-syncopated."
"We've come up with some unbelievable new material that is just pummeling and rhythmic and aggressive and anthemic and poly-syncopated — Disturbed 101, everything people fell in love with us for in the first place. It has really been a wonderful past couple of weeks, especially after two years of being apart, not being able to really create. You can create over Zoom or some shit like that but it's not the same, that inspiration in the moment in front of each other — the magic, energy and electricity that occurs — nothing really compares to it. It was a welcome rush back into the system. Fucking amazing. It's sounding somewhere between The Sickness and Ten Thousand Fists, for sure."
