“F*** Roger Waters” seems to be the general consensus from like every musician from over the last 50 years, just throwing that out there, can’t say I’m surprised Also David Draiman is 53, middle-old age so tbh I just see this as grumpy old men being grumpy old men

Draiman should go write some more messages on bombs to be dropped on kids.

Sigh. FFS, what did he do? I'm unaware of this. Do I *really* want to be informed on this matter?

Having Ozzy in his profile pic who has a song called war pigs that is (arguably) his best and one his most prolific songs and then going and posting that is an insane lack of self awareness
45
Recoveringpig Apr 16, 2026 +39
I hate to be that guy but war pigs was a sabbath song. Ozzy gets credit for it but it was mostly written by Iommi and Geezer, Geezer having written the lyrics. Id also like to mention Ozzy didn’t become a household name until he went out on his own. Edit: I’d like to add walpurgis is the original version before it was an anti war song. You can find it on YouTube
39
TheThockter Apr 16, 2026 +18
No I agree, it’s a fair callout and Geezer deserves the credit for the absolute poetry that the war pigs lyrics are. I just didn’t include the context because I didn’t think most people would distinguish them. I know it’s a Sabbath song and I love Black Sabbath and wasn’t trying to imply it was part of Ozzy’s solo act

Recoveringpig Apr 16, 2026 +5
I love Black Sabbath too.

Draiman is from a conservative jewish family and is extremely pro-israel. Pretty much the whole reason he doesn't like Waters is because he's critical of Israel.
8
_Miss_Eclipse Apr 16, 2026 +12
He went to Israel and signed bombs with various "f*** you" messages. One of the said "f*** HAMAS," but as we all know, this war isn't about taking out HAMAS. It's about destroying the palestinians. Forcing them out of Israel. Does bombs were absolutely used to kill innocent women and children. And he has never cared about that. He only doubles down and calls anybody that calls him out an antisemite. Hasbara 101
12
Middle_Aged_Mayhem Apr 16, 2026 +22
He's ok with child murder.

AnotherAndyYetAgain Apr 16, 2026 +3
Guy signed bombs "meant for Hamas", then talks about love, peace and unity. He's immune to irony it seems.

palesnowrider1 Apr 16, 2026 +3
Yeah he was writing messages on IDF bombs

sk_starscream Apr 16, 2026 +4
He signed IDF artillery shells.

*From Far Out Magazine:* The long-running feud between David Draiman and Roger Waters has escalated further following recent comments from the Disturbed singer. Draiman has been a vocal critic of Waters for several years, frequently accusing him of antisemitism and strongly opposing his political views. In past interviews, he has described Waters as a “monster” and “antisemitic to his rotten core,” reflecting a deeply entrenched disagreement between the two musicians. The latest remarks, in which Draiman suggested he would physically confront Waters, underline how personal the dispute has become. Their conflict sits within a broader divide in the music world, where artists have increasingly taken opposing positions on political issues and public activism. The exchange adds another chapter to one of rock’s more heated modern rivalries.

The guy who signed bombs with a big happy smile on his face, bombs that were then used to flatten a entire region killing thousands of innocent people who had nothing to do with the conflict wants to call someone else a monster?  F*** that egotistical d bag.  F*** both these losers.

He was one of the performers at the Ozzy/Sabbath farewell show last year, and when he took the stage the entire crowd was booing him. It was so loud it was audible on the livestream I was watching.

How is Waters a loser in your example? The guy has beenvocal about Israeli atrocities for YEARS

Roger is extremely ant-war and many people mistakenly assumed his dismay with the Ukraine situation is because he’s pro Russia or some other some right winged ideology .. when in reality he’s unhappy with the US meddling and just the war in general.

Zauberer-IMDB Apr 16, 2026 +3
Just two pieces of shit on different sides of the aisle.

provisionings Apr 17, 2026 +6
Roger is not a piece of shit.
6
Zauberer-IMDB Apr 17, 2026 +7
Yeah, ok. He just thinks Ukraine is in the wrong after Russia invaded it.
7
provisionings Apr 18, 2026 +2
You have to look at it from his perspective, an outsider who sees America for what it truly is, an imperialist country. Yeah.. Russia aint great. But Ukraine and Russia are right next to one another.. and they had an agreement.. the Minsk agreement and it was violated. Look, I’m not standing up for Russia at all but I get how others see us. How would we feel if China wanted to take Canada and place their military bases in Canada?. With their missiles pointing in our direction? We would feel threatened by that.. threatened enough to do something. Roger means well .. truly. Also.. Check out Jeff Sachs on YouTube. He explains it well.. the difference between what dipshit disturbd stands for compared to the russe/ukraine situation.. they don’t even compare. Roger is extremely anti war and Dramain is signing his name on bombs to be dropped on innocents.

> where artists have increasingly taken opposing positions on political issues and public activism This is nothing new. What is new is the scumbags like Disturb's singer, taking the side of the oppressor

coopnjaxdad Apr 16, 2026 +31
How did we end up at "you said killing innocent people and babies is evil, that makes you an antisemite!".. It truly is wild, oh and Disturbed sucks, always has and always will.

Let’s assume both musicians are equally massive pieces of shit just for arguments sake, at least Roger Waters contributed something to the world that will be remembered in 2126 and beyond.

No the best thing about disturbed is the covers of The Sickness done by pet parrots on youtube lol

Stormblessed_Photog Apr 16, 2026 +3
Personally, my favorite thing about Disturbed is the cover of Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me" that someone did in the style of Disturbed on YouTube that I found moderately amusing for a few minutes.

i had backstage passes to ozzfest in 2000. i was standing on the side of the stage and he tried standing in front of my shorter friend. my friend was like 5' 5", draiman was just as little taller. so i, 6' 1" swapped with him. a few minutes later draiman moved in front of my friend again. so i swapped with him again. it happened like 3 more times over the course of whatever bands set it was. real class act

I mean Waters almost certainly deserves to be punched but if anyone gets to do it, it should be Gilmour or Mason.

ListerfiendLurks Apr 17, 2026 +2
I'm honestly baffled at how they got so famous. Rock and Roll music quality in general fell off cliff later the mid 90's with grunge falling out of favor. I'm convinced that quality void is the only reason they were able to become famous. Who were they even competing against for the spotlight Staind? POD? Lol.

There are a lot of reasons to dislike both of them but the newest reason to dislike Draiman is that he made me side with Waters on something.

SnivyEyes Apr 16, 2026 +4
Roger is correct to criticize Israel for the crimes they have committed. That is not being antisemitic at all, how is it? There are many Jews that are maddened over this issue, does that make them also antisemitic?

DtheAussieBoye Apr 17, 2026 +4
Goddamnit, he’s really going to make me side with local loudmouth Roger Waters, huh?

Low_Intention_1327 Apr 16, 2026 +3
Corgan continued his hypothesis that Waters has made “very strong statements against Israel” because of this: “It makes sense to me that a man who grew up in the shadow of World War II, lost his daddy in a war, has really suffered the consequence of that pain, that he would be hypersensitive to a scenario like that.”   Yeah, f*** head. This is precisely why hes against what Israel's doing. Its very reminiscent of how Germany acted in WW2.

I remember seeing Rob Zombie live and disturbed played right after, Rob Zombie sounded fantastic and had excellent production on stage, Disturbed was so incredibly lame by comparison, the drunken fight that broke out as I was leaving was a lot more entertaining.

Yabbatown Apr 17, 2026 +2
Draisman is a Bibi supporter and Waters in a putin apologist. Everyone mentioned in that sentence can go an f*** themselves. Drainsman going to Isreal to write messages on shells is pretty low. Roger Waters has never found an atrocity outside of those that Israel commits that he won't find ways to blame on the US or the victims. His whole stance on the Ukraine war and thinking that allowing russia to conquer Ukraine is a really stupid, rat move. They're both peices of shit, so pretty happy to watch them fight it out.
2
highandinarabbithole Apr 17, 2026 +2
He’s a f****** loser and his band is a joke, easily one of the shittiest and corniest bands of the last 50 years. He should feel honored if Roger even knows he exists.

SaulTNNutz Apr 16, 2026 +1
Roger Waters is a jerk but I haven't seen anything he's said that is clearly anti-semetic. He has criticized the Israeli government but has he actually said anything that is racially demeaning to the Jewish people?
1
No_Strike655 Apr 17, 2026 +1
He's trotted out some old anti Semitic the jews "run entertainment" shit plenty of times but he just really really hates Israel and any Jews who live there and has called for the whole state to ve dismantled and ship all the people back to "eastern Europe or wherever" because they have no real claim to the land and are just Europeans. Basically yeh dude kinda takes it a bit farther than a lot of people in here want to pretend. That being said Draiman is also a f****** tool so....
1
GoldDoubleCup Apr 17, 2026 +1
He joined the BDS movement in 2011 and ever since there has been a flood of negative articles about him. They squashed BDS so well that it hasn’t been from since around 2011.
