Distrubed Brawls With Finch

[Steviekick 0]

DISTURBED and FINCH got into an onstage brawl at the Rolling Rock Town Fair in Latrobe, PA earlier today. The fight, which took place while FINCH were preparing to take the stage, was reportedly the culmination of an ongoing feud between the two bands stemming from an interview FINCH gave to MeanStreet magazine in late 2002. In that interview, FINCH guitarist Randy Strohmeyer said about DISTURBED singer David Draiman, "I'd shoot him in the fucking head. I'd rip his stupid little piercings out. They're just cheesy. It bums me out because their music is terrible, and what they're about, it's just shit. Hopefully all that music will die out soon, and hopefully it will make room for the good music."

 

A posting at the FINCH web site regarding today's incident reads as follows:

 

"To anyone who either witnessed or heard about today's incident at the Rolling Rock Town Fair. While we were setting up, one of the members of DISTURBED, [guitarist] Dan Donegan, was harassing us from the side of the stage. Before we were to play, Randy (our guitarist) walked over to Dan to explain that the comments he made a few years ago were a joke, and to give him a friendly handshake. Dan proceeded to assault Randy and DISTURBED's singer, David Draiman, attacked Mike Herrara (our drum tech), which caused a fight to ensue. We want everyone to know that FINCH did not start this fight. However, we do not take kindly to being assaulted or having our lives threatened. We would like this little conflict to be resolved as soon as possible, but we will not give in to bullying bands threatening us or our fans."

Good for the Distrubed guys. I wouldn't be to receptive of someone talking badly of me in a mgazine and then trying to suck up like everything's a joke.

Meh. For Finch to comment on the lack of quality for any other band's music is downright asinine. Disturbed >>>>>>>>>> Finch.

I don't know who Finch even are, but they sure do come across as pussies in that comment.

Agent's a fan.

Agent looks really sad...and insecure. Is it the pink belt?

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

That's a sash, not a belt; his belt is of the studded variety.

Finch are complete and utter assholes. I can attest to that too.

I don't really get the Disturbed hate, but whatever.

Shut up fag.

Finch is one of those shitty emocore bands that are all the rage these days.

 

I don't understand all the Disturbed hate. They are propably one of the best mainstream hard rock bands out there.

That guy said Three Days Grace were good. I stopped reading (more so skimming) from then on.

What type of band is Finch? Is it one of those "punk" bands like Story of the Year?

[HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0]

Emo.

Yeah, uhhh, that's me. I've defended 3DG before on here.

 

The part I was talking about was how after learning I worked in special ed, they started picking their noses and cracking jokes about the mentally handicapped.

[HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0]

That's no excuse for defending 3 Days Grace.

I'll fight finch.

Quit dissing my sash. It matches my wristband, so fuck you.

Edited for accuracy.

 

Just joking, of course, but c'mon AoO - a pink shirt and a pink belt at the same time is just a little too “Hello, ‘Frisco!” to not make a comment.

 

The fact that you call it a “sash” isn’t helping either.

 

BTW, I agree with the pro-Disturbed sentiment here. I consider them to be a pretty decent hard rock band. Hell, I own both albums, so I must be something of a fan.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Disturbed is gay.

[B. Brian Brunzell 0]

<--- also own both Disturbed albums, and defends them in the Finch fight.

But I don't hate gay people.

I met Draiman before the first record came out...cool bloke, very intelligent...

 

Disturbed > Finch

[DCMaximo 0]

I may well be the only one here to say this, but, as someone owning albums by both bands, I'd much rather listen to Finch than Disturbed anyday of the week.

[PLAGIARISM! 0]

I would rather castrate myself with a spoon than listen to either carnival of shitters.
