Back in HS I got suspended quite a bit actually and when i did there was no staying in bed and chilling at home for me. I had to get up at 5am and go to work with my dad. Seeing how he was a local truck driver all I did was sit in the truck. Now as he was going about his work and I stayed out of his way I listened to the radio. Now I was listening to 95.1 and this song came on. Now when i have to get up at 5am I'm basically dead for the entire day but this song rose me from the dead so to speak. It came on and I perked right up and listened to the entire thing. To this day Disturbed is one of my favorite 'new' Metal bands and this song still remains my favorite.

Milenko. I think I love you today. First Matt Damon in the Movie and TV section then Disturbed in the Music section. Disturbed...my favorite band. Stupify is a good pick. Mine happens to be on the same album but a different track...

Down With The Sickness​

Come on now, any Disturbed fan should know this is the biggest hit they have ever produced. Although my favorite Disturbed song is The Night, this track is easily the song that got me into Disturbed.

Build up. Suspense. Bass line. Can you feel it? "Oo Wahahahah" and then kicks in the heavy shit. This song is an anthem among heavy metal fans and for a good reason too. The lead singer does a great job of switching back and forth from singing to screaming while the rest of the band does a good job of leading to the chorus.

The chorus is fucking awesome. I haven't heard another chorus or song that gets a crowd going quite like this, with the harmonics that add a heavy effect in a weird way. Now the bridge is definitely different but in a good thing. The lead singer is basically screaming at his mother for abusing him. The lyrics include "why don't you fuck off and die? Why can't you just fuck off and die? Why can't you just leave here and die? Never stick your hand in my face again bitch Fuck you!" I don't know if this actually happened to him but it adds a anger effect to the song, and when the bridge is done it is basically the intro all over again and it ends off great. Phenomenal song!

I think it was probably "VOICES" for me. It is a song I still love to this day.

I am trying to remember how I first got into it, and I THINK I have worked it out....

When I was in high school I worked part-time in a local restaurant washing up and working as a kitchen assistant, and one of the guys who I worked with was a big metal fan, and a couple of years older than me. When I told him what music I was into we ended up becoming good friends (I actually met up with him last week for a beer). The next time we worked together I ended up going back to his place after work and looking through his HUGE CD collection, and he gave me a stack of albums to go home and make copies of, including a Pantera one (I think it was the one with "I'm Broken" on it), Black Label Society, and "The Sickness" from Disturbed.

I loved most of "The Sickness", but I think "Voices" was the one that stood out for me. I was into a lot of rap-metal at the time, so the way the lead singer spat out the lyrics really appealled to me, and I have always been a sucker for a good powerful chorus, which "Voices" certainly has.

I still listen to a bit of Disturbed, I have a few of their albums but I do find alot of their stuff is very similar and seems to blend in to one song, apart from their best songs which stand out. I reckon "Voices" is still my favourite track by Disturbed.

The whole Sickness CD really, but when I hear Disturbed, the one song that comes to mind is Enemy.

Yup, same here. I never could get into Stupify and I really didn't care for the band at all until I heard Voices. It drew me in and eventually I started liking Stupify as well. That being said, it was only an occasional listen and they didn't put out a song that made me want to buy the album until their next album, which featured this song:

This is the track that turned me into a hardcore fan when I was in High School. All of my friends were into their hardcore Death Metal bullshit, but this is the kind of shit I would chill and listen to in my room while I was grounded( which was like 75% of my childhood.) These days I don't really care for Disturbed a whole lot, but this song stood the test of time for me.

I've been a mild Disturbed fan ever since I was little, but I didn't really get INTO them until the last few years.

Inside The Fire
​

I wasn't a "Disturbed Fan" until I heard this. It's a really dark song, that's based on an actual experience the lead singer had. It's about a girl he was in a relationship with. She's committed suicide, and he just has the voice of the devil over his shoulder trying to provoke him to take his own life to join her again, because the only chance for him to be with her again is if he takes his life. The song's a very sensitive subject, and I like how they opened the actual music video, to make sure people understood that they weren't condoning suicide of anything. Regardless- it's a hell of a song.

I've always liked Disturbed , but never bought one of their albums untill I heard these songs

[youtube]lH799LhZnJI[/youtube][youtube]k_ZMmEFA4Q0[/youtube]

This is the point at which I had decided to buy the Asylum album
(I had heard "Another way to die" & "Asylum" before these from this album , but these sold it)

They get better and better with each album it seems
(I don't know every song on every album , but chronologically the singles per album get better and better at least for sure)

I've always known about Disturbed but back in the late 00's and early 2001, my musical taste was very different from what it is now. I didn't listen to anything that sounded angry, mainly because I wasn't an angry person and sought no need. Even when I tried to get into them, I just couldn't. Upon hearing down with the sickness for the first time, you could say it wasn't a great first impression and I just hated the song, so I avoided the band. Fast forward to 2005 and I was starting to broaden my musical interests a bit. It was around this time that Ten Thousand Fists was about to be released and at this point I was willing to give Disturbed another try. So I downloaded the lead single and I grew quite fond of it after a few listens, so it prompt me to download a few other songs. But one song really kicked started my love for the band and it was the main reason why I decided to buy Ten Thousand fists and every one of their albums. Disturbed is now one of my favorite bands. That song is Fear.

From the moment that shit kicks in to the moment the song ends, it just makes me want to pump my fists and run upside a building. To this very day it still remains my favorite Disturbed song. Perfect Insanity and Warrior come in 2nd and 3rd. But this song will always be the song I turn to when I want to be set loose.

The song that got me into Disturbed was Down With the Sickness because that was the first song I heard by them and it convinced me to go buy one of their cd's, which I held onto for quite a while before I sold a bunch roughly a year ago. I still like it more than any of their songs.

 

[AndThat'sTheBottomLine]

I'm a HUGE Disturbed fan. The first song I heard from them was Down with the Sickness but I was around 8 years old so it didn't really appeal to me. I really got into Disturbed when Indestructible came out and I then bought all of their albums and I've listened to every one of their songs. Lol I even bought WWF Forcible Entry JUST to get Glass Shatters which is a badass song. So Indestructible is my first favorite but it's really close because it's hard to choose one out of eighty something songs. But this is one of them.

I would have to say the song that got me into Disturbed was "Stricken" I actually first heard it in a PPV promo for WWE New Years Revolution 2006. Then I bought GH3 a year or so later and I've liked Disturbed ever since.

Down with the sickness \m/

 

[Spoon]

I think the song that really drew me into them was Remember. It was just an amazing song and I've listened to it a ton. That and Enough really got me into them. I've bought all their albums and have been a fan since then.

 

[The ShIT Factor]

Down with the Sickness of course! Its heavy and just awesome. Its also their signature song so obviously it would be the song to get me into disturbed.
