I passed out infront of the stage at a show with disturbed, and stp. I was taken backstage and they sat me down and were checking on me and David came over and asked me if I was OK and just talked to me for a minute. It was at the end of the show and while he was talking to me everyone from disturbed and stp stopped by to see if I was OK, never will forget that. Just good people
@@HenrySimpleShe should have never been there. As I said above who TF takes their 12 year old to a metal concert? Do they have a 'deafwish' for their child? Metal and concerts in general are hearing-killers, not to mention the lyrics to 'Down With The Sickness" which is a great tune, but not for a 12 year-olds ears. Kids should be innocent as long as possible, and these parents should get a fucking slap.
@@HenrySimple How, because they took their daughter front row at an awesome concert and a rock superstar took the time to focus on her when she was scared? Yea, maybe you are just simple.
@@loudsquad The parents are morons. If they accepted the negative reality of the likely outcome of the experiment, she would not be there. Dave Save was epic, but better parenting would have prevented it's necessity.
@@stevenfunderburg1623I bet your kids are sheltered, pent up, confused, and probably honestly scared of you..... Don't take kids to enjoy a live concert? But what, watch some crap like 16 and pregnant, or Ru Paul or even the friggin news? Or, god forbid, they ever learn how to work a computer, or YOUR PHONE, and find out what's REALLY out there...... Music and the gathering of music appreciators, would be the very LAST thing to worry about. Live music has probably single handedly saved my life and kept me AWAY from trouble and negativity.....Don't shunt a child's appreciate live music or the experience of a show just because YOU are closed minded and can't see past all the scary stuff outside of your little safe space...
@@dillonhogan6125 I didn't say every child's potential experience of a live concert should be prohibited. In this case the outcome started to go negative, (and if not for the unprecedented coolness of DAVE , NOT THE FUCKING PARENTS, it would have, period) and at that point, because of that outcome, THIS child's should have been. But yes, you stumbled on the solution to your own problem, though you and I perceive solutions and problems in reverse. I would not intentionally bring a child into this world, and certainly not a female one. Yes, I do believe that the human race is a bad idea and the best solution is to limit the spread of that cancer by any available means. Allowing well placed fear and negativity to prevent reproduction until we are all gone would be the compassionate solution, but I don't see everyone jumping on board, so the celebration of horror, war and genocidal violence will have to do. Believe me, if I get a super villains opportunity to send a Haley's size comet directly into times square, this little philosophical argument will become irrelevant seconds later. If you're breeder trash , may that decision have the most damaging, costly and horrific consequences imaginable for you, and may you be forced, before violently perishing yourself, to accept that all of it stems directly from your arrogant, narcissistic desire and confidence to look at this world, this society and instead of saying "enough is enough" , saying "let's make more of them". One way or another death and darkness will come for you, me, all parents and every last child on earth. If I weren't a coward I would just make a noose right now and laugh as I left you to it. Have a swell day 😉
He's f****** with you trying to make it look good. Any type of concert with that many people is no place to bring a tiny little girl especially putting her in the front row what the f*** is wrong with you guys.
That's what I love about the scene. The fans may look scary, the lyrics may sound violent, the moshpits may look chaotic, the bandnames may be obscene, but they are some of the greatest people I have ever met. And those who look the most like you don't want to mess with them often turn out to be the kindest
Metal singers and musicians are the most humble and sweet natured people. I lost my mother to cancer, and shortly after I lost my father to a stroke, the only things that gave me comfort, solace and spoke to me while my family was tearing itself apart with grief were the Iowa and Slipknot albums by Slipknot and Rob Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe and The Sinister Urge. The subject matter of Iowa in particular really summed up how I was feeling. I wrote to the record company/management of both artists......they wrote back. Rob Zombie sent a handwritten letter offering support and thanks, and he said better days are ahead, he even called me brother, while my own family were barely speaking to me. Slipknot...a BEAUTIFUL letter from Corey, just sending love and understanding, and how honoured they were that their work meant so much to a fan in an emotional situation. The whole band (Shawn, Paul, Chris, Sid, (who also drew Decepticon and Autobot logos for me, because I said I'm a Transformers fan), Craig, Mick, Joey, and Jim) signed it too (I've had the signatures checked, they're genuine). I still have them in a safe place, they are treasured. It's the pop singers who are usually crap people. With the loss of Paul Gray and Joey Jordison, the Slipknot letter has a new meaning too, I'll never part with it.
I can relate to the first part of that. The doctor told us to take our father home from hospital because there's nothing they could do for him; maybe 9 months to live with terminal liver cancer. Mom and I did the tough stuff that nurses and orderlies do - 9 months almost exactly. About two weeks after his passing my mother had a stroke she lived with for 2 years but her heart was gone the day he died. I'm sure that brought on the stroke; so much real love they had that anyone could see.
To be honest, I've never even heard of Disturbed. I guess I live a sheltered life, lol. I just saw the heading that he stops show to comfort a scared girl. I am so impressed by what he said. It gives me hope in a better future. Seeing & hearing so much that is so messed up has made me view the world pretty negatively. This is beautiful. We need people like him in governments around the world.
David is a wonderful human being. I’ve been to few of their concerts over the years. Definitely recommend if you ever get the chance. And even better if they do their cover of the sound of silence.
I never heard of Disturbed until they did The Sound of Silence. Covers are seldom better than the original - but by god, they seriously did the song justice and made the words more haunting!! Watch the video! They’re really brilliant!
I know! I'm like you in that regard. It's funny how this guy looks so tough and mean on the outside but he's just the sweetest, gentlest person! We need more people like this in this world!
Not easy to balance the needs of a crowd with the needs of an individual within a crowd. What a masterclass. He's a class act who clearly cares about his fans. What an orator, too.
I’ve been to a LOT of shows in my 52 years on this planet. Disturbed is one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. I swear, it was the most cathartic release, just 90-ish minutes of pure fun, not caring about a damn thing except the music.
This is proof that despite how we in the metal community may look scary to non-metalheads, we are actually very caring of eachother and everyone because we know just how shitty it can be sometimes
We're all human buddy. No matter how we sing. No matter how vile the lyrics are. No matter what the beat is. No matter what the chords are. No matter what the gain is set at. We are all human.
This mans speech was AMAZING, and the fact that he stopped the show to comfort a little girl and give that truthful speech shows how big this mans heart is and just how down to earth he is! ❤️👍
I was at that show, for context what happened is that he asked her to come on stage. She got the camera put on her and you can see her parents were excited and want her to go. But it's obvious she didn't and then she started to cry. This was all on the big screens for everyone to see during the show as well so he stopped what he was doing and went up to her to comfort her and give this epic speech.
I've only ever heard one Disturbed song and that's Sound of Silence. I know it's not their song but that's how I know of them. This man is a gent. He went above and beyond to comfort this little girl and what he said, makes sense. One family. One love for music
Disturbed also did a cover of "Shout" by Tears for Fears, it's on the mellower side of their discography, which I'm getting the impression is what you lean towards.
Thank you for being a great example for society today love your music and love your messages you share to the people ❤. That was a incredible speech thank you for being you. 🤘🏻🤘🏻😌
Ive seen David stop a show at ozzfest to let a disabled kid who was crowd surfing come up on stage and kept him up there through his act. He has always been such a good human.
I saw Disturbed live once about 20 years ago. David stopped mid song to call out someone getting handsy in the crowd and shut it down. He's a hell of a human being, and always has been as far as I can tell. Always liked his music, but that day in Little Rock I became a fan of the man behind the music.
Oh man. You are in for such an epic journey through timeless & amazing music. I've been listening to disturbed for 20+ years now. They are truly amazing.
@@SethWilcockikr? they are truly impeccable... incredible. Down With The Sickness, uncensored of course, is my favorite song of all time, especially the mid point!
Disturbed never really hit me. Probably when they started I had outgrown metal. In 2016 I watched their concert in Maximus Festival. The guitarrist is one of the nicest and gentlest musicians I've seen live. He plays metal, but he was smiling the whole concert, making eye contact and pointing to people like he was saying "this chord here is for you". I really respect artists that connect to their audience on that level. This video is another example of that.
I never seen anything like that in my entire life at any concerts WOW, not only are there devoted fans but that shows a devoted band . Very impressed by what I just experienced just now . Cuz he is right we are all one. Kudos to you disturbed rock on.
I have so much respect for him that he not only noticed that she was scared and having a bad moment but stopped his entire show to go comfort her and let her know everything was ok and that she was going to be ok. That is so badass!
Not to discredit wat u said but he actually noticed her singing along the whole concert and wanted to bring her up on stage but she got really shy and scared when the parents were trying to motion her to go up there. So he came down for her instead!
@@csSpetzNaz thank you so much! I was wondering why she was scared if she loved the music. I love that he didn't force her and came to comfort her instead.
I was at this show. This was awesome to see. The girl was singing along to every song and he invited her on stage but she got really scared. He said don’t worry and went down to talk to her and this whole thing happened. It was truly great to see
This man is what we call a CLASS ACT!!!!! How awesome is this man!!! He stopped playing and saw a little girl having a hard time for some reason?? So instead of just singing the songs he stopped singing and walked right down to her and her parents and talked with her. I am just in awe of how cool this is!!!!
These parents are foolish idiots bringing a child to an adult concert like this when it’s obvious she’s not enjoying herself there or even feel comfortable. It’s selfish and pathetic how the parents cared about taking the girl to a concert where only they enjoy instead of what the little girl would enjoy
@@Kitty_bandida22 she was singing along to the songs a lot of the show you don't know why she was upset your just making assumptions karen. Apparently, she knows them well enough to sing along so stop talking down. And you're also making the assumption that the title is actually fact that she was "scared". What do you think she hears there that she doesn't hear on the street, her school, most television these days glad you didn't raise probably would have grown up with damn mittens 24/7.
I’m sorry you feel that way, I actually know a few musical families, two in their own band and the others, just your average gig goer, in there younger days they’d all go out together.
Absolutely incredible and his words hit deep, just love this, the fact he stopped mid show to show this act of kindness to a little girl is beautiful 😍
It's amazing how this man who has suffered in his life and found success in music is also helping others who have faced the same hardships and giving people a reason to just escape reality. This is the type of people we really need in our lives.
Since the beginning of time music has filled the role you've just described and so we are grateful to this artist who obviously feels the same as you.😍
Wow. I’m not a huge fan of theirs, but mad respect for seeing something and being a superlative human being. That girl, Sophia, will carry that with her forever. In sad times, she’ll remember this and it will lift her up. Marvelous. Truly marvelous.
@@Quickcat21MKwhat's up with you... obviously whatever raised you didn't teach you much... almost positive I'm not the first nor the last person to throw shade... don't bother responding... not worth it.
I couldn't agree more this heavy metal singer literally stops the whole show for one little girl. Super human super guy great man with a heart of gold. Says a lot for the fans of disturbed and for so many people who love the band awesome bunch of people. DISTURBED ROCKS THE WORLD
This is what we need more than ever right now! I've been a fan of Disturbed since the first time I've ever heard them, & they have gotten better every year since day one! There is a big misconception of metal music & the people who listen to it, I can truly tell you, David Draiman & the men of Disturbed are without a doubt some of the most beloved souls in this world! Keep spreading the message of love. Bless you all, keep rocking hard & kicking ass!! ❤️🤘
I just live this band & I'm 68 years old. The Sound of Silence just sends chills through my body. I'm really bummed that I missed the concert they had in Michigan I didn't know about it otherwise I would have been there in a heartbeat. You guys absolutely Rock
I appreciate that you're able to separate the two - not be a fan of the music (as is your prerogative), but definitively admire them as people. We need more of that in the world.
@@DougWalton21 There are some artists where I love their music, can’t stand them as people. This spot is the opposite but I always separate the two. Important to be willing and able to do so.
What a class act David is, I've seen interviews he has done with his struggles with depression and he always comes across as the most genuine, caring and compassionate guy, much respect for him.
Often those who have struggled are the ones who have the most compassion. Been there, done that type of thing. Having the ability to so eloquently speak on the spur of the moment shows that those words he spoke are how he lives, how he moves thru the world. There is wisdom in him. A lot of it.
Depression is an endless desert where one thirsts for a drink they expect never to come. It's also an endless sea of saltwater, where they may drink from and go deeper into the desire for more and more and not actually receive what it is. Depression is knowing that when you pull out hope from Pandora's box, it is because hope was placed in there with all of the other maladys and hindrances as a final death knell to desire any further good thing. Concepts like hope and fear died a very long time ago for me. I'm okay with that; I use this unique position to do everything I can to help others whenever signaled to a call to action.
This video proves that heavy metal singers have a kind heart and this shows. ❤ David is such a kind man and what he does to people including that little girl is a blessing.
Not a huge Disturbed fan but what a sweetheart David is. With the couple songs I know for the middle-school nostalgia, now I know there's a good giant heart singing them
They had me with his version of the Sound of Silence from Simon & Garfunkel who in my opinion did a perfect job w that song,then I heard This Guy & Wow.. ✌
@@Alessandro-ep2ns we shall see. I only ever knew them for that one song. I can't name anyone in the band but David... but I'm going to give them a go.
Fuckin a right brother. Same with slipknot. Truly class acts, despite the rough around the edges vibes they can put off, truly great dudes in this sphere of music. Cheers
He didn't stop the show because the girl was scared, He stopped the show because he was blown away by the girl singing along to all his songs.. A true artist who appreciates his fans.. ❤
Here I was wondering what actually happened. Scared? How?? Especially if she was there singing her heart out to the tunes. But what's also cool is when these metalheads go and mind the kids. See, that's what I generally like about metalheads. They tend to be gentle giants. But I wonder why he was asking if she was okay, though?
Well that was the 2nd reason, he said he didn't mean to scare her & then he was trying to show there's nothing to be scared of & started complimenting her to take mind off what just happened but either theory, it was nice of him👍
Facts, read a study a couple years ago which claimed people whose music choice is metal tend to be the most sensitive, attentive, compassionate and well natured while classical tended to attract psychopaths etc… can’t remember the entire study but was definitely interesting
What a great memory for that girl and what a selfless act to stop the concert to make sure she was ok. Never heard of this fella but i have now. Beautiful moment just beautiful.
God Bless Disturbed! I have loved them from the start! Have seen them multiple times. Never miss a chance to hear such a great band! Love it where it is at!
well, because when it is what he really believes in, the words come easy. Unlike the politicians and celebrities and other people who are just manipulating us with their words
Without Darkness, We have no Light. What he said was very Powerful. He is truly wonderful addressing, not only the little girl who will treasure that moment forever, but also Mom and Dad definitely savoured it as well!! ❤🤘🏻😊
This was so beautiful! My son got me to watch your music, and I learned to enjoy your music, "The Sound Of Silence" is great. I am so joyed that you gave this child such care and time! GOD Bless you for that speech about coming together!
I recently worked at a concert while a stereotypical "heavy metal" band was there, and let me tell you: every single customer I talked to was AWESOME. They were super respectful, even if I had to tell them something they didn't want to hear. I was blown away. They were the nicest crowd I ever had the pleasure of interacting with. (For those curious, the worst crowds are generally rap concerts)
@@dragonmerchant we recently had a Snoop concert in which nearly 20 ambulances had to be dispatched for various reasons I'm unaware of. During the concert I mentioned in my original comment, we had 1, and it wasn't even on the venue's property.
@dragonmerchant I had heard about this but never experienced it firsthand. The insane part is that, during the concert in question, there were PROTESTERS near the main entrance because the band portrayed ""satanic imagery."" Despite the fact that every single one of the 500-1000 people I talked to were extremely considerate and kind. One of the protesters assaulted my teenage coworker, forcing her to be sent home temporarily. If they were half as nice as the people they were protesting against, the world would be a better place.
Can say the same. Not even one bad encounter (maybe 2 or 3 people who where just inpatient). Old people, rap and electro fans have been relative worse than metalheads
I was there in the crowd that night. The girl wasn’t scared of the show or anything. He asked the parents to bring the girl on stage because she knew many songs and I guess he wanted her to sing along, but she got scared to go on stage and started crying. Then he felt bad and went down to confort her. Just wanted to clear that up in case someone thought that she was scared by the performance. She only started crying when she was asked to go on stage.
This is so amazing and wholesome and I love how kind Dave Dramain is and how acceptive of all. He’s someone I’d have a yarn with as he seems so nice. And he is so on point.
And he's right! When I go to concerts, being a fan of the band or the music or loving feeling the base on the ground are just excuses for me to go. The real reason is that I love being part of the crowd, the unity in it. Doesn't matter how different or similar I am with each person in the crowd. I just love that we are all there because we enjoy the music. We all leave our troubles and worries outside the venue and just enjoy the experience. I'm always physically tired after a concert but emotionally and mentally, I end up feeling lighter.
Been to a Disturbed show before, and David Draiman is such a fantastic human. Cares about everyone who attends his shows. I’ve always enjoy their music since the late 90s, but after going to a show for the first time I was so shocked at what an amazing person he is. He did a whole tribute to his good friend Chester Linkcoln Park through the song Sound of Silence and it was beautiful. Highly recommend you go to one if you haven’t.
I’ve never been a big metal fan, don’t hate it but I grew up in the 70s-80s to that era of rock but I’ll tell ya what, WOW!!! For some reason this video clip started playing on my phone and I started to close it out but something held my finger back for a second and let me tell ya, that was the best two minutes I have spent listening to someone about us as a whole, and how we are gonna survive the chit our governments are putting us through right now, and how we are gonna prosper…… together, once we get through it but he is exactly right folks, we have got to stand UNITED and help one another no matter what music you listen too or what I listen to, we are still both human beings with feelings and dreams of success, dreams of having a partner, a home, possibly a family, certain cars, etc. Please folks, let’s continue his message and continue broadcasting it across the globe and work to love one another, help one another, etc cause without us working together, there’s no way we can defeat our governments tyranny when they come to lock us down again! They are dividing us so they can control us easier but I’m willing to protect you if you’ll help me and together we will defeat them and then we will prosper instead of them and we can continue listening to different varieties of music and respect one another and have a long & happy life!! I’ve gotta run for now tho cause I’ve gotta go pull up some Disturbed music and listen to what I’ve been missing all these years cause this guy is fantastic and everything he said is absolutely true!!!!
Wow I've been to more concerts than I can count, and I've never seen anything quite like that. To take the time out of his performance, to comfort a scared child, really demonstrates what a kind, compassionate person he is
He doesn't make more money for that. Also look around you'll see many rockstars doing similar thing stopping shows for similar reasons. There's just a lot of them who are nice people
Lemme tell you that most rock or metal singers or most members of rock and metal bands are actually kind, loving and caring people, who have their own families, their own kids, and they want nothing else than a better world. You'd be surprised how many tough looking guys have really soft and warm heart in reality. Appearance is often misleading.
@@1982MCIamen??????????? Oh you people are sick, that demonic concert is no place for children, and to say Amen to what God would never allow is wicked
I am a firm believer that music was given to us as a gift from our home, and it's intended purpose is to comfort us while we're alive. He's right, life is hard, for all of us. It's from our home. All of it, rap, metal, country, pop, house/dance, punk, classical, all of it. Even some that we haven't invented yet. Dude is a class act.
This guy is a hard rock singer and the speech he's giving is off the charts amazing. Love how he made sure the little girl was ok. I love when concerts are stopped just so the singer/band can make sure that the person is ok or gets help.
This is why disturbed is one of my favorite bands. David is an amazing human. His life has been absolutely terribly tough and he’s got a heart of gold.
And that's what I love about this guys, they simply care about their fans!!! They care about people!! They care about and that's perfect!! Great lesson on how to have fun and respect everyone!!
Preachy of what - non-discrimination?You're implying this was planned. What do you mean Im curious? He decided to preach on basic decency, so he concocted a plan, picked a small girl to intimidate, so he can then have a platform to preach and look good? Guy already has a platform.. Obviously I'm overemphasizing my point, hopefully not to an extreme extent. I don't have anything in bad faith for you, just curious about your position.
amen, and I have no idea who Disturbed is and as I posted, I'm a Deadhead, time to find out...what a good man. Odd music is full of folks like this and most of us are unaware...
It's amazing to see his intelligence and true self comes out of the darkness and show everyone respect love and to show it's an act his darkness and songs are sung for enjoyment and entertainment
Man, as if I needed another reason to absolutely LOVE David Draiman. His band may sing some dark songs, but his heart is so full of light and love. God bless him.
I've been their biggest fan since day one, I've been blessed enough to meet them and have attended many shows and he always gives me the chills and never disappoints, David Draiman is an amazing human being!
What a really great guy to stop his concert just to make sure the little girl was okay. You Sir are the only person who stopped immediately and saw how scared she was and you went above and beyond to go check on her. I have much respect for you. That family will remember that for a very long time. What an incredible speech coming from the heart, you're truly amazing.
@@ryancampbell4445seriously. I was at the front for Disturbed recently and it was shit. It's very unsafe for a child. Every big band has the same problems.
Of course she's going to be fucking scared!! Her dumbass parents brought their small child to a disturbed concert and brought her all the way up front....
I completely agree. Someone once said in a speech (and maybe she was quoting, I don’t remember right now): „art is the highest plane on which humans meet.“
Music is a universal language. My band from Sweden played the same music together with a Japanese band on American soil. I've also played Калина пам'яті (Ukrainian marsch) with Ukrainian refugees. Music unites us in a way nothing else can
No... this is why need parenting. Not support animal moralists who are gonna call this abuse, because they never had that conversation, on either side of it. Just let to "grow up" automatically when a random number clicks on, which is both the starting line and already the deadline, coddled until 18 and fed to the grinder a minute later.
Oh this is so sweet. I saw them at ozzfest almost 20 years ago now and they were really cool. They're still going strong and still as cool as ever. Thank you!
I can honestly say that I've never felt so safe at a concert as I did when I went to metal and hard rock shows. The kindest, most generous and loving people I've ever met were the audience at these shows. And some I've been friends with for nearly 40 years now.
That would be SO COOL! The "let me tell you a secret, Darlin'... Sometimes the darkness can show you the light" at the beginning of a song. Epic! Like the Dumbledore quote “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”❤
David's speech needs to be broadcast everywhere. He is classically trained. At an audition for lead singer( not sure if was Disturbed) they were at first not impressed with his training. And Then David Sang 🎉. Speechess , they were in awe of his metal hard rocking audition ,incredible vocal range . He was hired. ❤
The gentleman has unfortunately spoken incorrectly , profanity (swearing and irreligious behaviour is not acceptable). Jesus was God's son his life was blameless and yet died for our sins , he also only spoke excellent things , we must conform to the image and likeness of Jesus and his teachings in bible book Luke and we must obey them to enter paradise instead of the fire of gehenna for rebellion , not to earthly idols whether that be artists or anything more important than God. The child must have felt in her spirit that something was not right , one should not first go through the darkness to find out there's light , go straight to the light of Jesus and skip the darkness
Saw them last night. Phenomenal Show!! Saw them perform live around 12 or 13 years ago, so it was long overdue. I cannot say enough about how great the band is. The pyrotechnics were astonishing. If you get the chance to see them on this tour, DO SO!
Why was girl up set and he spotted her out its cool they or he did and xk.fort her u was wondering why she was crying because she was happy and he saw her whole time
@@lestercrowley1485 So... you're saying that you see an adult man comforting a child as something sexual in nature? Sounds to me like you might have the problem here. Maybe seek therapy for that. It's good to be cautious and to recognize when behavior is inappropriate, but when you're comvinced there's predation in interactions with kids that are clearly healthy & positive... that sounds like a mental health issue imo.
