DISTURBED Guitarist Interviewed On Portland, Maine's 94.3 WCYY (Video)

February 4, 2011

Rob Riccitelli of the Portland, Maine radio station 94.3 WCYY conducted an interview with DISTURBED guitarist Dan Donegan before the band's January 29, 2011 concert in Portland during the "Music As A Weapon V" tour with KORN. You can now watch the below.

Donegan told The Pulse Of Radio why his band decided to share headlining status this time around with KORN. "With such a tough economy and tours, you know, being a little more difficult to encourage the kids to come out, we thought it would be better to get another heavy hitter, somebody who's been around as long as KORN and who's just as big, you know," he said. "So we thought it would be great to kind of team up and add for a more powerful tour by having two big headliners."

DISTURBED's latest album, "Asylum", sold 179,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart.

The band's previous three albums — 2008's platinum "Indestructible" (first-week sales: 253,000),2005's double-platinum "Ten Thousand Fists" (first-week sales: 238,000) and 2002's platinum "Believe" (first-week sales: 284,000) — also debuted at No. 1.

DISTURBED's best-selling release to date is its 2000 debut, "The Sickness", which has shifted more than four million copies in the U.S. alone, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
