Disturbed frontman David Draiman chatted with me literally hours before a flight to some shows in New Zealand. He fills me in on the origins of the iconic piercings, the shaved head and of course the "oo-ah-ah-ah." He also makes his feelings on backing tracks and live music very clear. He still loves Taylor Swift and plenty of other artists in the newer generation.
Listen to their latest chart-topping single "Don't Tell Me" featuring Ann Wilson from Heart
