DISTURBED Frontman: 'Sometimes I Get An Erection When I Perform On Stage'

October 12, 2005

In the latest issue of Sweden's premiere metal magazine Close-Up (web site),DISTURBED frontman David Draiman gets all "cocky" when discussing his stage presence.

"Sometimes I actually get an erection when I perform on stage," he tells the magazine.

"Er, you get a hard-on when you sing?" the interviewer asks.

"I'm an erotically charged person," Draiman replies. "The atmosphere around me, all the energy that I get from the crowd and the beautiful women that I make eye contact with on stage all contribute to that kind of blood-rush."

DISTURBED's third album, "Ten Thousand Fists" (Reprise),debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard Top 200 chart with sales of 238,000. This marks the band's second No. 1-charting album, after 2002's "Believe" slammed into the top of the chart (with first-week sales of 284,000),building on the momentum of their triple-platinum debut "The Sickness".

Next up for DISTURBED is a headlining position on the Jägermeister Music Tour. The first leg launches November 4 in Minneapolis, with the band playing multiple nights in intimate venues throughout most of the 32-date trek.
