That's the thing, though, when he tried finding someone at his lowest point, he got hold music. He did an interview with the Charismatic Voice where he went in a bit more detail about what he was going through. He knew he was in a bad place, he tried to find a mental health specialist, and they just bounced him around without actually offering any help.

"Find someone to talk to. To me." Yeah okay, good luck talking to James Hetfield.

Yeah even if he himself isn’t a Christian

Westboro were trolls before troll was a thing. Big family of lawyers, etc just looking to make lawsuits and money. They’re losers disguised as bible thumpers.

there reformed baptist there more calvnist you shloud read about calvnist

I have been too that point and disturbed, static-x, korn, neuroticfish have helped me out a lot. We guys don't care about the money or the fame just helping people much love to David and the band

You cannot call evil good and good evil. For The Bible has warned about these times coming, and we are now living in them. "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!" Isaiah 5:20-21 As a Christian you support worldly music, but you do not support your own Religion/God. (Calling evil good and good evil). Helping a human is not Christian like if Christ is not even involved in the act. Nor is it being a good person, as you should know that "good people" don't actually exist. We are all sinners who go against God, and that's why Jesus is our Saviour. If we were "good people", then we wouldn't need Jesus to save us, nor would we sin against God. By supporting Disturbed you have put darkness for light and light for darkness. You are working backwards towards the world and not forwards toward Christ. By this action you might not even be on the narrow road to Heaven, but on the wide road to hell. You need to repent of your sin and turn towards Christ my friend. Put down the ways of the world, and stop: "wanting to please our sinful selves and wanting the sinful things we see. Being too proud of what we have. None of these come from the Father, but all of them come from the world." 1 John 2:16

....well you have missed out on a lot my friend glad you came around. Tell the truth In any situation and don't give into fear...it takes more to take a stand and speak truth than to follow orders and keep a quiet mouth.

That's where I am. He seems like a great guy.

man, their live shows are insane. I've never seen so much pyro and they always treat fans with something special. David is a boss

You should see them live they're one great show and sound great.

​@blutomindpretzel1735 100% agreed! I've been to many Disturbed shows and every single one is different and equally amazing! I will never turn down getting to see them live! For anyone who hasn't been, go!

Same, been to plenty of Christian rock shows, I saw these guys two weeks ago and it was the most spiritual (not religious) show I've been to. Their message during live concerts hits you like a ton of bricks. Incredible.

I'm also a Catholic who likes Disturbed. Always happy to see fellow Catholics on the internet.

Same bro

Here!

Exactly!

How have you coped with her changed personality?

I’m sorry for your struggles. Words aren’t enough, I know. East Coast Strong! Love from Fredericton ❤

Yeah, being from PEI, I understand that. Hope times are better for you and your family now.

I'm so glad that you have an outlet to help you with your struggles. Although I have never really heard of this group before now - and metal's not exactly my "jam", as it were, David seems like such a sweet guy, and his words ring true. I hope you and your wife are doing better. I'll keep you in my prayers, dear! Much peace to you!

They were one of the bands I got more into after being into metal more like Tool, Marilyn Manson and some Pantera or somethin

Discovered Korn when I was 11, then slipknot when I was 12. Never went back after catching the metal bug. Music for misfits and skaters (I was both). Tbh I wish I could go back to the 90's 🤔😜

I saw them at OzzFest and GuavaWeen and thought they were amazing. David put on one helluva show

I’m glad you’re here. You’re worth it and don’t ever forget that!

That's really an awesome thing to see from a friend.

Gabriel I see you and I hope you are doing well. It gets better. I promise you it does. Hugs from California

Gabriel, you've made it this far and you can carry on making it each day. You did such a brave thing telling everyone at the Disturbed gig about your truth. You are awesome. Never forget that. ❤

That was so sweet! I don't doubt your friend Gabriel was deeply touched! Who knows, maybe God can use the most unlikely of venues to let us know we're not alone and we matter. At least, that's what I'd like to think! Hope he's doing better now! Just keep being a friend to him, and I pray he's getting better.🙏🫂

God bless you, sister! I'm glad you're doing alright!

@denisemayosky1955 Thank you, Denise. Life has been an adventure I never could have dreamt, but I am truly blessed. May God bless you as well.

You got that right! Heavy Metal music has always been this way and is a fact I've known since I was introduced to it back in 1986 at the tender age of 11 years old. Metal 4 Life! 🎶🎸🤘😝🤘🎸🎶

@@Leathurkatt Metal 4 Life! \m/

As well as one of the most motivating! Become the Catalyst King of Diamonds Indestructible And many many many others

Its always has, my mum got me into rock and eventually metal. The funny thing is she is extremely religious and listens to bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden etc. The actual Church is so stupid honestly...

Lol no it's not 😂. I listen to metal music but I can't stand the fanbase however. Don't u ppl start throwing a fit about who where's a T-shirt with there favorite band on it?. And that's just one of many examples of the hypocrisy non-tolerant ppl u all are.

Especially when you look at the fact that Mosh Pits look violent, yet everyone in that pit makes sure no one gets hurt, no one falls, and if someone does fall they're picked up immediately so they don't get trampled. I've been a Metal Head since I was introduced to it in 1986 when I was 11 years old and have never been more welcomed by anyone than I have among other Metal Heads.

And you think that a good thing? Ooooof..

​@@blackhaze8233who hurt you? A metalhead stole your SO?

​​@@blackhaze8233I swear if you're religious then this is just comical lmao we metal heads for the most part look out for eachother and don't judge others all groups have bad apples you can't judge the many from the deeds of the few which is why religion is so frowned upon not cause we think it's bad but because on average throughout history who does the shittiest things......oooohhh right ......Christians lmfao

I'm in much the same boat. Depression and anxiety since age 9, I will be 31 this year.. They're so bad I can't work as every job deals with people in some capacity and I just can't deal with people, so I've been placed on disability.. The positive of that is I can stay home and work on myself to stop it getting worse (I bought a horse to assist with this task and he forces me to go outside each day) the negative is of course I'm broke so will never be able to afford to move out of my mother's house.

WBC aren’t real Christians. Just because you say you’re something doesn’t mean you are.

I second this

Me too. Disturbed embody the positivity and strengthening power of heavy music.

I second this

I’m Conservative, and am against religion entirely, and I support David.

Rabbi

@@jaredbickmore2474 Yup. Why he can sing like an angel. Learned from his family.

Rabbi..he’s a professionally trained Cantor

I was there also

The Westboro Bastists are in Minnesota too?! I thought they were down around Kansas City?! Why are those kinds of people the ones that get spread everywhere?! Why can't good people spread like this?!

I was referring to him talking about his thinking about suicide. At the beginning of the video.@@JacksonOwex

​@@nanyabyzness3234 I'm from Minnesota too! I wish we got to see that show, my boyfriend and I are big fans. It was so sad to hear about his own recent struggles.

I heard that and cracked up 😂😂

Yeah, they should be showing you the love of God to pull you out of the darkness, not using sanctimony and self-righteous judgment to push you further in!

I'm a Christian ✝️ and I love hard rock/ metal and most other forms of music 🎶! The good book says "judge not least yet b judged"! Now they saying "righteous judgement "! No person is in a position to judge another, Jesus said "all have fallen short of the glory of god" , which is the whole point of his crucifixion! The act of listening to music alone will not put you in sin, the act if sinning will put you in sin!

I have to admit, that's funny! I just wonder, was he interested in finding out about you and what you were going through and offering to pray with you - you know, things that made it seem like he cared about YOU - the person, rather than you - the latest spiritual "scalp" hanging off his belt? IOW, was he actually trying to save you cuz he cared about you personally, or just so he could fill his "quota"? Cuz if it's the latter, I could see why you weren't interested.

@@denisemayosky1955 Just to offer some more context: I've always been a very chill dude. Never done drugs. Never smoked. Just the occasional social cocktail with the wife. I just happen to gravitate towards dark stuff as far as entertainment goes. I like extreme Metal music, I tend to like villains in fictional stories more... stuff like that. However, that was enough for him to think I was doomed, which always seemed weird to me. Like, why would God worry about something so tiny as the type of music I listen to? But that's another conversation. lol Anyway, he even asked me if I would remember his words after he had been taken to Heaven during the Great Rapture. He assumed I would stay on Earth to suffer. Worst of all, he was sure God would take him and, even though I'm not a religious person, I'm pretty sure no one can possibly predict what God's judgment would be. That's between each individual and Him as far as I understand. It was all very weird and no, it never felt like it was coming from a place of care. It all felt very patronizing.

no better way to dispel ignorance with pure logic, something every religion hates.

it is and it really sucks that a lot of guys who are having bigtime struggles feel like they can't openly talk about it out of fear of being mocked and ridiculed.

Been dealing for over 20yrs, and been getting worse. Some days are better than others. But hey, got to see the murderdolls the other day for my birthday . I afraid I can't beat, and believe me I've tried.

Crazy is as crazy does

​@@firstlast8258 Takes one to know one, right child?

@@rynelson85 yup 🤓🖕

Touching you....

@@BukanIbuMu Touching Me.....

Love is only a feeling (drifting away).

Just listen to the rhythm of my heart!

The way of Jesus is not to accept secular ways though. If you listen to Disturbed, then you are listening to secular music, hence falling into secular ways. The way of Jesus is to rebuke secular ways and correct them with Holy ways through love and kindness. As you being a Pastor you should not be listening to, nor supporting Disturbed. (The name "Disturbed" is very telling by itself.) If you put your feelings before your faith, then you are not following in the ways of Jesus just because you say you are. "You will know them by their fruits". As a Christian you need to stop listening to/supporting Disturbed and repent of falling into secular music and start listening to Christian/worship music only. (However even in Christian music there are a lot of devil worshippers and false/lukewarm Christian musicians, so you have to he careful there too.) This is why we have discernment from The Holy Spirit, and if you don't have any, then you need to ask God for some so you don't fall for the ways of this world/ways of the devil. Amen

your one of the good ones out there man sending love to you hopefully one day you will get to meet david he has a heart of gold man

Thanks brother, appreciate it. @@donjohnson19

@@THE-WAY_THE-TRUTH_THE-LIFE. David and his bandmates are a whole hell of a lot more Christian than you are.

@@byrondickens Sorry, but that's merely just a biased opinion. It seems that you might not even fully understand what a Christian is. A Christian doesn't put the ways of the world before Christ, but puts Christ before the ways of the world. A Christian doesn't conform into secularism, but stands out against it. A Christian represents Christ Jesus and not themselves. You see someone not going along with the ways of this world and since this doesn't align with your way of thinking you automatically think that someone must be worldly in order to be considered true to something? If so, then this is just mere nonsense. The more worldly a person seems the less Christian they actually are. The Bible is here for a reason, and that reason is not to just ignore it, but to read it and obey it. To learn it and love it. To live it and preach it. So If you don't agree with The Bible, then that's only on you my friend, but it's not on me that you don't agree with it. So your mislabeling of what makes someone more of a Christian than another again just lies on you. It doesn't lie on me that you misunderstand Christianity, but it does lie on you to fix your perception here on this problem.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Yup... It's not always the artists/musicians that are inherently evil of any genre, it's the big record companies that are usually the culprits doing most of the evil stuff unbeknownst to the artists/musicians... Usually...

The next step is realizing all religions are just lies used to control others

There's no reason to abandon salvation because some ignorant cultists who call themselves Christian scream hate and intolerance.

@@SoDamnMetal ok. I was mostly joking but still I have nothing against Christianity it's just as I got older the religion is just not for me. That doesn't mean I believe in God but I'm not saying I don't either

They're really trying at this point.

Well, obviously. Just when we thought they were done. Last time I heard about them was when Fred Phelps died, and that is when I was like a junior in high school.

Yup. All the same level of wild-eyed insanity, but with 1000x the power than the Christian Right ever held.
