I just wanted to add that John Moyer's bass cabinet is on page 167 of the new 2009 Guitar Buyer's Guide. It's easy to see with the cool artwork design. I'm glad for him. Cool!!

New Bass Player

You guys are so mean. Picking on John for the way he looks, that's low. As, for what Fuzz said in his MY Space Acoount, he said that he refused to sux Jewish Cock. I think this is a below the belt commment in so many ways. Okay, kidding aside,I have alot of respect for David Draiman and I think that comment is just wrong. If you want to say that he is not going into the same direction that you want to go in concerning the band, you could say that in a nicer way. Steve Kmark, Fuzz is a father, what kind of example is he setting for his children. And if David is so bad, why didn't he join another band. What does he have to compare to David. It just has bothered me since I read that statement.

Your just bitter because Fuzz made fun of the guy you worship and want to sleep with.

Grow out of your fantasy, David would never bone you.

You may understand why Fuzz

Submitted by BigGayPeg on Sun, 06/22/2008 - 7:14pm.

You may understand why Fuzz phrased it that way if you walked a mile in his shoes. Had someone thrown my life's work down the drain after so many years of struggling to get to the top, simply because we didn't always see eye to eye, I'd have harsher words. If you think it's as simple as joining another band, you probably didn't read the update on his page. He is an excellent father, and the last time I checked - his kids can't read yet. Not that I'd fault his parenting on that ONE phrase.

Such utter blind respect for David over Fuzz is discriminatory, especially since David has had harsher words toward the fans from what I've been told by fans and copies of messages on the DMB. And his quote about the band "not clicking" with Fuzz goes right up my ass. He said that way before Fuzz had a myspace. They were "clicking" just fine, waaay before David joined them - and the first 2 albums prove it.

David is an excellent lyricist. Fuzz is an awesome musician. Ask any musician who knows the songs - he's better than John. At least better than what we've heard of his work on Disturbed material. My husband (guitar & bass player) grimaces when he hears the old songs played live now. What does he have to compare to David? If you're asking why he doesn't have a music career going on right now, look to Disturbed for that answer (it's not easy to start over at age 38 with a family - btw, that family was on the way when he was fired from his only source of income - nice). While you're at it, ask them why he's not credited on this album for the songs he helped write (they were not written piece by piece - it was together.) If that's not what you're asking - I'll tell you what he has: talent, empathy, & a conscience.

I didn't come here to bash David. You started this comparison & I'm simply answering it. I've seen Fuzz's acts of kindness toward people first hand. I've heard stories about David's shows of contempt toward fans - a lot (never heard that kind of stuff about Fuzz). You didn't have to bash Fuzz in order to defend John.

Are you kidding?

Submitted by bladeth on Tue, 06/17/2008 - 3:54pm.

Are you really sitting here saying that John is a douchbag cuz you dont like the way he looks?
Bud if you were any kind of a disturbed fan you would have nothing bad to say about them and your sitting here dissing out one of the band members? Ya okay you a "disturbed fan"
i think john has only made the band better, ya fuzz was good but its not like john's up there just standing like an idoit not knowing what to do
He is Rocking hard!

Fuzz was fired because he

Submitted by RiD-insanity on Sun, 06/15/2008 - 10:04pm.

Fuzz was fired because he didn't kiss Jewish ass.

And that said Jewish man, David Draiman, and his band hired an object that plays bass, which is who we now know as John Moyer..

oh really?

Submitted by Spoox on Tue, 06/17/2008 - 4:20am.

Maybe you shouldn't discuss this if you don't know the details.

Disturbed was without a bassplayer for quite some time. They held open auditions in Chicago for several days and John earned his spot by standing in line for an entire day doing several auditions before Dan, Mike and David just like thousands of other bass players. He was chosen because of his incredible skills and he fitted in perfectly. John is an extremely nice guy who makes time to talk to the fans at shows and is super down to earth. He deserves a little more respect then some of the above comments. You call yourself Disturbed fans? Shame on you.

Details?

Submitted by BigGayPeg on Fri, 06/20/2008 - 7:30pm.

What are the details we don't know?

If I were Fuzz, after struggling to get to the top with these musicians for 16 years, that one day of standing in line & landing there would go right up my ass. Add to that NO CREDIT for songs he helped write.

How does a pick player fit in the spot of a finger player? (I'm not the only one who hears what's missing when the old songs are played live.)

John is an extremely nice guy.

AgreeD

Submitted by bladeth on Tue, 06/17/2008 - 3:50pm.

I agree if david dan and mike all think that john is good enough to play in disturbed then thats enough said itrust there judgment more than anyone else, and from what i can tell the new album is great and so was "music as a weapon" Which john was playing in so he must be good enough.
From what i can see everyone sitting here saying that john isnt good enough to play for disturbed must be saying that thety dont like the new album.
