" While I can see where you might be miffed about the movie (because if someone offers you a theatrical release of your band's decade of accomplishment in the music industry, you say "no" obviously and go straight to dvd), I would like to know who you consider "hardcore metal", as opposed to Disturbed. Iron Maiden? Megadeth? Bands who also had a melodic flow, combined with raw guitar and bass riffs, and hardcore drums? To be honest, Dave Mustaine could sing with the angels as well as the devils. Disturbed made themselves. This is why they were chosen for soundtracks, WWE, etc. As for being "one-hit wonders", you might want to recheck that status. Every single album released has produced a hit. Down With the Sickness, Stupify, Prayer, Remember, Land Of Confusion (a cover, but a successful one. People barely remember the Genesis song), Stricken, Inside the Fire, Another Way To Die, take your pick. I will admit that it is a wee bit unusual to have a movie in the theatres for a band that hasn't been around but for 10 years, or just period. Still, what in the hell doesn't go to the theatres these days? Whether it stays there long or not, movies of any make or model are on the rise on DVD and in the theatres. And really, if someone asked you if they could theatrically release a biography about you or you and your cohorts.......are you really going to say "no"? It still does seem a bit "overly much."Quote: " I've been following Disturbed since they were a little noname band, great live show. Only thing I have against them is in interviews lead singer David Draiman comes of as a pretentious a-hole. Very few music documentaries warrant a theatrical release and while I am a fan of this band, I'd rather watch this tag on to a album or in a box set, not as a stand alone movie." Fear not. There is a card inside the new album that gives you full access to this video online streaming or downloadable. Personally, I haven't seen this in any of the theatres near me. I wouldn't have gone, (although I did attend the concert on 9-4, and it was awesome~!!!), instead opting for watching it on my computer on the t.v. As for Draiman's attitude......it has come off to me as a slight bit sanctimonious at times, but through my dealings with people, and my own approaches to certain situations, I've come to see it in a different light. I think some people were just meant to shine in the spotlight. Unlike some people (i.e Johnny Depp who seems to be so shy in front of a camera if he isn't in costume, or a lot of other frontmen who seem to be ready to crawl in the nearest corner until the camera leaves). He could still be an a-hole, or he could just be doing what he feels is required of him as the rock icon he has been crowned. I do find the fact that he doesn't try to influence his audience politically as some bands (*cough* Pearl Jam *cough*) have done in the past, quite refreshing. He promotes patriotism and the support of the troops who fight bravely and give their life every day for their country, although he doesn't support the war itself. I think that, in itself, speaks volumes for Disturbed as people.
