I first saw Disturbed open for Danzig. They had just shortly released their debut album then but very few people at the show new about them.
They went on and immediatly the lead singer comes out in a strait jacket and a bite mask, and I am like oh man what the hell is this??? I thought great I have to slog through a horrid opener.
THen they took over.. litteraly. After the 3rd song I knew these guys were going to be something good!!
I ran into them again at another show with some other acts (Kittie, Shuvel, some other names I can't recall). The band was in the crowd after their set just hanging out.
I approached David Draiman (man he is short), but he was real cool and had none of that rock star ego attitude. He actually enjoyed talking to everyone and getting into the rest of the show. He's a class act. Dan Donegan was also a blast he has the most goofiest grin and was real pleasant to be around.
