DISTURBED’s DAN DONEGAN Better Not Pull A KIRK HAMMETT With His Phone

Disturbed guitarist Dan Donegan is engaged on some riffs for the band’s follow-up to their 2022 album Divisive… and clearly he is realized nothing from Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett.

In an interview with 99.7 The Blitz, Donegan revealed that he is acquired boatloads of riffs for potential new Disturbed materials saved on his cellphone. Which went super well for Hammett way back in 2015 when he misplaced his rattling cellphone, and all of the riffs shops therein. So ensure you’re protecting monitor of your cellphone, Dan!

“Once we’re out right here [on the road], we simply have to modify gears,” mentioned Donegan. “Proper now it has been targeted on the tour and the exhibits and the manufacturing. I do have most likely a thousand riffs in my cellphone as a result of I am going to simply report stuff within the second. I will not get too married to it. I am going to simply type of put it within the vault.

“I am going to revisit it later — if I am having a dry second after I’m writing, I’d revisit it and see if one thing strikes me once more — however we’ll begin out, quite a lot of occasions, of simply going again to improvising and attempting to seize one thing new in that second. So I might relatively anticipate that to occur first. And if I must seize a riff right here or there, if one thing’s not coming collectively, then I’ve acquired one thing to fall again on.”

And whereas a brand new report could be good, a 25^th anniversary tour could be fairly superior too! In response to Donegan in a current interview with the Everblack podcast, Disturbed toying with the thought of doing such a tour.

“[No plans for a new album] but,” mentioned Donegan. “We’re loosely speaking about it. Proper now, this complete previous 12 months thus far, it is all been touring mode. That is all we have been targeted on, is the tour. However you understand, we’re occupied with what we’ll do.

“We acquired massive issues to consider, on if we’ll do a 25^th anniversary tour subsequent 12 months, and if we do a brand new album, are we going to report it this 12 months or the next 12 months? So we acquired loads on our plate. We acquired loads to simply type out and prioritize what we wish to do first.”
