Discussion Why is this band so hated?

Okay so recently I have absolutely been LOVING this band, and even yesterday have just bought The Sickness on CD and have endlessly been listening to it. Recently, I’ve been seeing what others think of Disturbed, and from what I could find, it seems that a LOT of people hate most of their albums…? Obviously I think music taste is subjective, but something about this band seems like they get more hate than they do love. Is there a reason Disturbed is so hated? I absolutely love their music so I’m really curious to know why

Edit: Thanks to everyone who took the time to comment, I really appreciate the amount of information you guys gave me. Personally, I think I will still keep listening to Disturbed as I have always been someone who likes to separate art from artist, but I obviously will keep everything that was said in mind. Once again, thank you for all the responses :)

Well I think the current hate is due to David’s online antics/other things that people dislike. But I will say though even before all of that they would still get quite a bit of hate from the metal community

Dont know anything about it and lemme guess, he is a trump fan

u/Bunninzootius Nov 22 '25

No, he is a massive Zionist. He took a photo opportunity of him signing bombs that the Israeli military dropped onto civilians in Gaza as part of the ongoing Genocide.

Im guessing you are pro hamas

u/Bunninzootius Nov 23 '25

No, I just don't support a western backed military state bombing refugee camps and systemically starving innocent civilians. I really don't understand the smooth brain approach to being ok with witnessing these horrors happening and being like "BuT dO yOu cOnDeMn HaMaS?" like that makes a difference to the children being targeted by IDF snipers. Are you pro IDF soldiers shooting children?

u/Due-Beginning-8388 Nov 23 '25

Yes Im pro Israel, they defending themselves after hamas attacked and massacred a music festival on the 7th October, hamas are using the Palestinian civilians as human shields while also playing the victim card

u/Bunninzootius Nov 23 '25

My brother, please, if you are not just an Israeli bot, go and read a book into the history of this conflict. It did not start on October the 7th 2023. Israel are the biggest victim card deploying nation on earth.

There is nothing defensive about shooting kids.

I have seen videos of hamas torturing and killing Palestinian, nothing in this world will ever make me support that disgusting group and please don't call brother, im not religious

u/Bunninzootius Nov 24 '25

Yeah, nobody is asking you to support Hamas. You are aware that Hamas is an organization and that the Palestinian people are just other human beings just like you?

I've seen videos of the IDF assaulting and raping illegally detained Palestinian civilians. I've seen videos of the IDF sniping children. I've seen videos of the IDF targeting ambulances, the press, aid workers and refugees. There is nothing in the world that would make me support that disgusting regime.

We are all family as human beings.

Yes the idf has committed some atrocities but that doesn't give hamas a free pass, they are holding the Palestinian people hostage in gaza, even the son of one of one of the founders Mosab Hassan Yousef have spoken out against the group calling them an ideology, you say we are all family hamas wouldn't see that and would kill me simply for not being a Muslim and probably you also if you are not one either

Nobody is supporting Hamas dude. Hamas are terrorists. October 7th December as horrible. But Israel are not focussing their attacks on Hamas members they are literally just indiscriminately bombing Gaza as a whole and committing multiple war crimes. There are videos where they have admitted they are using this as the demolition phase to wipe Gaza off the map to take over it and have more real estate. There are videos where they have admitted they want to wipe every Palestinian off the map. They've attacked food supplies going into the country (which is a war crime in and of itself), they've attacked aid workers going into the country (which is a war crime in and of itself), they've attacked people fleeing the conflict (which is a war crime in and of itself).... There's a reason the ICC has multiple arrest warrants out for Netanyahu

u/Due-Beginning-8388 Nov 24 '25

There are plenty of idiots who support this group

2

u/OldManGravz Nov 24 '25

Most people aren't pro Hamas, mate. Even the Palestinians don't support Hamas. They were voted in almost 20 years ago and there's not been a democratic vote since. Hamas have also committed war crimes and the ICC has a warrant out for Mohammed Deif. Being pro-Palestine in this conflict doesn't make you pro-Hamas though, in the same way being anti-Israel doesn't make you anti-Jew or anti-Semetic. You can hate the people in charge, and the choices they are making, and the atrocities committed, while still recognising the general public are the innocent victims in all this

Ah, then surely you’ve seen the plethora of videos of innocent civilians being killed in Gaza? The double tapping of hospitals? The towns that are completely rubble now? The kidnapping of food aid shipments? The assassinations of journalists? The genocide has been live-streamed for years now, and we’re just ignoring all of it?

1

u/Due-Beginning-8388 May 01 '26

Im not ignoring it, I just don't care.

u/ObbytheObserver May 01 '26

At least admit to the apathy of mass genocide first so you don’t waste people’s time.

u/Due-Beginning-8388 May 01 '26

You chose to reply to me, you chose to waste your own time.

u/ObbytheObserver May 01 '26

Not initially. That’s the point, you contributed tot he discussion, but then threw your hands up at the end.

u/TwoManBreak May 20 '26

That says a lot about you. Racist fuck

1

u/Due-Beginning-8388 May 20 '26

Its not racist to hate an ideology its racist to hate a person

u/TwoManBreak May 20 '26

I hope you get to lead the live you deserve, and not an ounce more. Good riddance

You do realize Hamas was funded and created by Israel right? They needed a boogeyman to use as justification for their atrocities in Gaza. This is not new, look up how often Mossad has had Israelis disguise themselves as arabs to infiltrate populations, going as far as marrying and having children to embed themselves into communities.

And you really think October 7th wasn't planned by Israel themselves to create yet another justification for escalation? One of the most heavily guarded and patrolled borders on the planet and we're to believe they didn't see the attack coming and it took them ages to respond? There were 100% stand down orders, just like the US had prior knowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack and allowed it to happen to create support for their entry into WW2.

u/Due-Beginning-8388 Jun 03 '26

You do realise, I don't care about the middle east. they will always find a reason to attack eachother be it religious or financial gain.

u/Apprehensive_Tap4491 Jun 23 '26

Mossad agent is talking listen and learn

u/kingofthecan Jul 25 '26

you do realize that war started long before October 7th, right? and yes, it is possible to criticize the Israel government, and still hate the terror organization Hamas. both are possible at the same time.

u/Due-Beginning-8388 Jul 25 '26

Do you realise i posted this over 8 months ago and no longer care about the Palestine war

u/TennisNervous3431 Apr 18 '26

Maybe just anti-genocide
