DISTURBED Singer Recalls Motorcycle Accident

November 5, 2007

The Pulse of Radio reports: DISTURBED singer David Draiman said last week that the band's new album, which it's currently recording in Chicago, will be angrier and more aggressive than the group's previous two efforts. Draiman told The Pulse of Radio that the mood of the record was inspired by several experiences he had in the last two years, of which the most painful was a motorcycle accident. "This guy cut me off," he said. "I was doing maybe 20, 25 miles an hour and he decided to turn in front of me whether I was coming or not, and I hit both the front and rear brakes and the rear wheels started to lock up. I was maybe 15, 20 feet away from the guy and still coming forward, so I had to lay the bike down. Scraped along the asphalt with it for about five, six feet. I had some road rash pretty bad on my right forearm, but that's about it."

Draiman added that he got up and started to chase the truck that cut him off, before witnesses made him stop and he realized that he was bleeding.

Some of Draiman's other experiences in the last two years included several romances that went bad, a fire that destroyed his garage and the vehicles inside it, plus family health and real estate issues.

The new DISTURBED CD is tentatively titled "Indestructible", with a spring 2008 release in the works.

The disc may contain a cover of FAITH NO MORE's "Midlife Crisis". However, the band's contribution to the soundtrack of this past summer's "Transformers" movie, called "This Moment", will not appear on the new album.
