BUZZGRINDER » Dillinger Escape Plan Is Not At Disturbed’s Level — Mon, 19 May 2008 17:59:56 +0000

[...] Plan caught Disturbed posing on stage at soundchecks, guitarist Dan Donegan has struck back. “If [Dillinger] sold some records, and were at the level weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re at, maybe theyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d see that, for bands like Kiss and Metallica, there are certain highlight points [...]

Disturbed just seem to cement their status as a mainstream “sell-out” band, with their comments about selling more records and playing arena shows. They seem to think a band is made from mainstream success and not their musical talent, and coming from a nu-metal band, its a bit fucking rich

I don’t care what band has more talent or who is better, I have seen them both live plenty of times dillinger as far back as the late 90s with their first singer and disturbed at the first ozzfest they played. The bottom line is DEP are making childish jabs at disturbed for no reason, who cares if they think the way disturbed stand on stage and pose is lame. I am sure there are plenty of people that think taking a shit on stage is pretty lame also or jumping around and throwing mic stands into the crowd, to each their own, but DEP started it and they come across as being childish, even disturbed’s response was more mature.

Of course Disturbed has sold more records than DEP…they have a much more accessible sound that appeals to mainstream tastes. Bands like DEP require a certain ear and a certain level of appreciation for the abstract and uncontrolled. I totally can understand why some would label them as “noise” or anything of the equivalent. The average music listener would most likely think DEP sucks, but again, most people who listen to DEP simply lack the ability to grasp what they are doing. A band like Disturbed is much easier to swallow. Not saying either band is bad, but it’s like comparing apples and oranges. Clearly both bands have their own sound, scene, and fans.

I don’t think there is much debate on which band has the better musicians, though.

ehh i understand i guess. they are rock stars. and I dont HATE disturbed, ill admit i did like em when i was 16-18. My tastes have matured. I will see em at mayhem tour and wont hate it, especially when im drunk. As someone that has listened to every DEP record gave em a good shot AND got dragged to a headlining show of them, i do agree they are just noise and blow.

DEP not selling as many records as Disturbed does not have to do with anything. Clearly the fame that Disturbed has experienced has gone to their heads. This fame has also caused them to be less natural and less “down to earth”. DEP on the other hand is in the business not for fame, but for the music. They are by far the more talented band! Fame does not imply talent and having talent does not make you famous!
So Disturbed should deflate their heads and realize where the real talent lies.
But that is doubtful.
