Metal Anarchy

Disturbed singer David Draiman has commented on the ongoing political divide that recently resulted in two Super Bowl halftimes. Those events included the official show, which featured Bad Bunny, and Turning Point USA’s alternate show, which featured Kid Rock. According to Draiman, someone should put together a festival featuring both acts in the name of unity.

Draiman said the following:

“Here’s a “radical” idea.

Music should be a bridge between all people.

The identity politics, partisan garbage, and division need to stop.

I challenge any organization out there to put on a festival that has Bad Bunny, Kid Rock and all kinds of acts from different sides of the political spectrum, sharing the same stage.

Everyone can showcase their respective cultures and backgrounds, fuse musical elements together, perform together, celebrate life together…

…PUSH BACK AGAINST THIS DARKNESS…TOGETHER.

It can be an opportunity to share, and appreciate the respective cultures that gave birth to each artist’s unique form of entertainment.

Music can unite people like nothing else in creation.

It’s beyond time we remembered that.”

Notably, some have labeled Draiman’s call for unity hypocritical due to his fierce support of Israel. He infamously signed an artillery shell in that country in 2024 and has continued to speak in their favor.
