Disturbed recently released their eighth studio album, “Divisive,” and has been on the road supporting it in North America for over the last month.
Singer David Draiman has done plenty of press surrounding the record and tour, and he recently was interviewed by Philadelphia’s WMMR radio station.
Disturbed are no strangers to putting their spin on songs by other artists of many genres. The band has tackled tunes by U2 (“I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”), Tears For Fears (“Shout”), Sting (“If I Ever Lose My Faith In You”), Genesis (“Land Of Confusion”) and Simon & Garfunkel (“The Sound Of Silence”), among others.
During the conversation, Drainman revealed that he would not only like to cover a song by pop star Taylor Swift, he would love to collaborate with the singer/songwriter.
“I would love to cover a Taylor Swift song,” he said. “I think that she is one of the most prolific songwriters of our generation. I think she is insanely talented. I’d love to collaborate with Taylor if she ever wanted to, on any given day.”
Draiman continued: “I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I think she’s a brilliant woman. I think she’s, like I said, one of the great songwriters of our time. I love her gumption. I love the fact that she gets on stage in front of tens of thousands of screaming young female fans and plays a real instrument and sings live and is the real deal. I mean, there are a number of people within the pop genre that still do it the way that she does it — Pink is one of them; Lady Gaga is one of them. A lot of these people are just so gifted and so great at what they do, and she’s certainly way, way, way up there. I have nothing but the utmost respect for her.”
