As quoted in Guitar World Magazine, Dan Donegan speaks about using Rocktron's Banshee Talk Box: "We took a Rocktron Banshee talk box (during recording) and, instead of me putting the tube in my mouth and doing the Peter Frampton thing, inserted it into this long candle and then held it up to a microphone. As we moved the tube in and out of the candle, the tone would change quite a bit. Eventually we found the sweet spot, so we held the tube stationary, put it up to the microphone, and I played my guiter through that....it sounds incredible."
Dan Donegan is currently using the Rocktron Xpression effects unit in his rig.
Disturbed is an American rock band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1996 when musicians Dan Donegan, Steve "Fuzz" Kmak, and Mike Wengren hired singer David Draiman. Since the band's formation, they have sold over 11 million albums worldwide, making them one of the largest grossing rock bands in recent years. The band has released three consecutive studio albums that have debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200; only six other rock bands have achieved this.
Before vocalist David Draiman joined Disturbed, they were known as Brawl, a band whose lineup consisted of vocalist Erich Awalt, guitarist Dan Donegan, drummer Mike Wengren, and bassist Steve "Fuzz" Kmak. Awalt left the band shortly after the recording of a demo tape and the other three members went on advertising for a singer. They posted an ad in the local music publication in Chicago, Illinois, called the "Illinois Entertainer". Draiman had answered the ad after going to twenty other auditions that month. As guitarist Dan Donegan commented on Draiman, "You know, out of all the singers that we had talked to or auditioned, he [Draiman] was the only singer who was ready to go with originals. And that impressed me, just to attempt that".
Disturbed's mascot, named "The Guy," was originally just a drawing of a face with a large grin, as seen on the back of the album The Sickness. The Guy eventually became the official mascot for the band, fully animated by Spawn creator Todd McFarlane in the music video for Disturbed's "Land of Confusion" cover, and has also appeared on the artwork of two of Disturbed's albums, Ten Thousand Fists and Indestructible.
