Another nu metal post, you might be thinking. Well, it seems it’s (the) shit right now, and we’re all about selling out and following trends. Which reminds me, it’s time to cut my scene hair and find my old red cap and baggy pants.
But I digress… Disturbed drummer Mike Wengren decided to let us in on the secret behind their success. I was ready to place my bet on the fact that they might hide an actual dog in the studio which records “vocals” for half their songs, but his version is different — he says they’re successful because they don’t have filler songs.
“That’s not the way we go,” Wengren told RockAAA.com. “We feel like every song on the record could be a single, and our fans know that. They know when the buy a record of ours they are going to get a full package, they know we won’t let them down and they don’t let us down either. Our fans are very loyal and very passionate about us.”
Well, I guess in a way, he’s right, there are no “filler” songs because all the songs are of similar (low) quality. But I’m just being mean now. They’re also re-releasing their first album, which I guess means they don’t do filler albums either. Or am I really just telling the truth?
