I was ganna post this on an already existing post but i feel like i got to much to say to put it on an already existing post.

I, along with many others, have mixed feelings about this Hiatus thing. On the one hand obviously it kinda sucks that Disturbed won't be having another album for a while or another tour. But i know to some extent how hard those guys have worked since the Sickness came out (and before) and i can only imagine what its like to do that almost non-stop for 10+ years. And although i don't know the exact reasons, I know the band as well as anyone and i will always trust that whatever they do they are doing the right thing for themselves and even for their fans even if some of us don't like it at the time. I'm not ganna lie, I'm feeling a little emotional just typing this but i have to get it out. You all know that time. The time you FIRST heard that Disturbed song, whatever it was and whenever it was. We never heard anything like it before, something so perfectly focused on a kind of strength and power that we never knew before and never felt. Anger and a kind of hate all focused into a pure aggression of determination and strength that I'm sure has helped most of us through one ordeal or another. Disturbed; David Draiman, Dan Donegan, Mike Wengren, John Moyer (and Fuzz), all helped show us something we never knew or thought we had before, maybe something different for each of us. I know they literally saved me from going down a wrong path. It my darkest hour it was the song "I'm Alive" that played on my ipod, ,randomly i thought at the time. I honestly believe without that moment of pure clarity of determination and resolution i would not be here like i am today. I have since bordered obsession line with the band Disturbed. Watching every interview, every behind the scenes video i could find and so on. Like someone said before, Rock/Metal is a life style not just music. We live it and breathe it. And so given that Disturbed has given us so much if they want to go on a nice long break for whatever reason, i fully support them and wish them all good luck with whatever life throws at them, because they should know they have a limitless supply of fans all around the world supporting them. The first time i saw Disturbed live at the end of the concert (WE ARE...DISTURBED!!!) all i could think was "thank you" to the band for everything, every song, every word, every note and every beat they gave to us. maybe it seems a little weird maybe a little to obsessive but its what it is.

We all are Down With The Sickness
We all Believe
We all raise Fists in the air
We all are Indestructible
We all are in the Asylum
And...WE ARE ALL DISTURBED!

dude, i could not say it better.... we are not obsessed my brother.... we are a family.... thats what it is and i'm not trying to sound creepy or anything but thats what DISTURBED is... it is a family of millions of people... who all feel the same way... and Dave, Dan, Mike, John, and of course Fuzz (can't forget him lol) have given us the power to say "Fuck this, i will not be tied down to this burden, i will be stronger and i will overcome every adversity that crosses me"... my first song was "Hell", well sorta... my VERY first song was "Two Worlds" and it was awesome but when i heard "Hell" i just lost it cuz i (like you said) had never heard anything like it... and i never knew how powerful music could be until i heard Disturbed... they gave me a backbone....they opened my heart to other metal bands and genres... they handed me the power to live and fight.... and said "USE IT"... i don't know about you, but i have no family.... well the one i have is hardly a family... they make me feel like a freak... but maybe thats what we are, i don't know... but i do know that we are together, we are one, and we are DISTURBED... and i'm positive that they will return... i mean come on, they have sold 4 consecutive number one albums.... and this next album "The Lost Children" will probobly make it 5 consecutive number one albums... thats how powerful they are... and thats how passionate WE are... they could go down in history as the greatest band ever, well they are to me but i mean in the grand scheme and billboard charts.... they just need a break... and when they return.... it will be like nothing we have ever witnessed... and i don't know about you but, I will be waiting... raising my fist... and chanting the songs.... and occasionally dropping plates lol

we were born in an ASYLUM..... kept as THE LOST CHILDREN.....

..... we BELEIVEd that we could raise our FISTS with the other TEN THOUSAND.......

..........and we have been made INDESTRUCTIBLE...... by THE SICKNESS

If David Draiman ever actually read this and responded to it, I think my head would explode lol.

@Sickly
you said you couldn't have said it any better bro but you definitely hit the nail on the head with what you said.

i don't know about posting it on his twitter though, maybe.

Disturbed is way more then just another band, every single songs are written by the band themselves. They aren't written by the someone else, they are the band's thoughts. Every single song is something you can relate too, on some level or another. David put's his own life into lyrics, and Mike, Dan and John put their soul into what they write musically. Disturbed is way more then just band, they are strength

"They are strength". that should be one of our quotes or slogans or something. They ARE strength!

Lemme know when your head explodes!

This is just.....the best fucking way to describe what all of us feel.. that one moment when we first heard a disturbed song.. that first moment when we saw them live... the WE ARE...Disturbed part where you get goose bumps all over....

That feeling is a feeling that is indescribeable...

Keep the Metal in your veins \m/

Bro metal will always be in everyones vein, but readin that statement from Monster666 makes me want to give something special back to Disturbed. Like a song that the whole Morbus Rising community has written for them, pics, poems, hell anything. Something that no band would expect from fans.

Who's in?

Monster666 i know what you mean by your statement. I know we have never met and i know we probably never will but, i know you and I share the same passion that gets lost sometimes in music. Monster666 i have been through a very tragic event in my life. It has shaped my life forever but, what has been constant is this AWESOME forum and Disturbed i was hooked from the moment i heard Stupify for the first time in my moms van. Monster666 i have nothing but, respect and love! Well Said in your statement. \m/\m/
