Disturbed consists of Dan Donegan (guitar), David Draiman (vocals), Mike Wengren (drums), The Fuzz (bass).
The word disturbed can also mean angry, mentally ill, or simply interrupted.
Disturbed is a band, formed in 1996 when musicians Dan Donegan, Steve "Fuzz" Kmak, and Mike Wengren joined up with singer David Draiman in Chicago, Illinois. Although generally regarded as part of the metal genre by the industry, some fans and the band alike are of the opinion that Disturbed is actually hard rock band.
The band was first formed when Draiman responded to an ad in a local paper for a vocalist and was auditioned successfully by the existing band members. Draiman suggested the band's name.
The band worked very hard in the early years, recording two separate demo EPs which they then sent out to record companies. They sent two to show the record companies that they were dedicated to their music and that the first EP wasn't a fluke. The band broke out in 2000 with their single "Stupify" and subsequent album The Sickness. The album launched them in to stardom. They also released a completely revamped cover version of Stone Cold Steve Austin's theme music for the WWE, called "Glass Shatters." After participating in Ozzy Osbourne's Ozzfest tour in 2001, the band started the " Music as a Weapon" Tour.
In October 2002, their second album Believe debuted at #1, and in 2003, the band participated again in the Ozzfest tour.
They are currently touring with 10 Years and Ill Niño in support of their third album Ten Thousand Fists, released worldwide on September 20th, 2005. It debuted at #1 in the U.S. In addition to Ten Thousand Fists the band has released the tracks Hell and Monster although Monster is currently unavailable because the itunes offer it came with expired. But Hell is currently streamed on their myspace website. Both of these songs are in high demand and illustrate the band's extremely loyal fan base. In the future, the band is considering to create a "B-side" compilation including those two tracks as well as others. They are also scheduled to headline the Jägermeister tour this November and will headline "Music as a Weapon III" in 2006.
