Disturbed bassist talks concert production and Van Halen
The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal recently conducted an interview with Disturbed bassist John Moyer. Here is an excerpt from the interview:
“This is a Disturbed that you’ve never seen,” said Moyer about the metal band’s updated show. “We’re bringing out a level of production which is beyond anything we’ve done before. We’ve integrated videos in with the songs, a video look that goes with every song that paints a picture. Even if you have seats in the back, it’s still an amazing show.
“You’re not just watching four guys walk around on stage, you’re watching like this entire video montage that goes with the music and it helps support all of the lyrics and all of the crushing tones that we have going on. We always feel like we bring a great show, but this time around, we feel like this is the best show we’ve ever had.”
Moyer, who grew up in El Paso, is the most recent addition to the band. Moyer replaced Disturbed’s former bassist, Steve “Fuzz” Kmak.
While living in El Paso, Moyer rarely passed up an opportunity to go see the metal road shows that rolled into town. One of the concerts that influenced him the most was a performance by veteran spandex sensation Van Halen.
“There were a couple (concerts), but one of the most memorable ones was when I saw Van Halen when they came through on the 0U812 tour,” he said. “I don’t remember who the opening act was, but I was such a Van Halen fan at the time and I loved it. You know it was amazing. . . I remember Eddie coming over to the wings and being like where I could almost touch him, you know? We were reaching out to him and he was throwing picks at us. Yeah, it was very cool.”
Which leads to the next question; the question that has been plaguing metal fans for decades. Where do you stand, Moyer: Van Halen or Van Hagar?
“The better lead singer was Sammy Hagar,” he said with a laugh. “I mean David Lee Roth was a great front man, and I don’t want to take anything from him, but Sammy could just sing circles around the man.”

Disturbed Bassist Talks Touring With Korn, Mayhem Festival, And Auditionng For Disturbed
The San Antonio Metal Music Examiner recently conducted an interview with current Disturbed bassist John Moyer. Here are a few excerpts from the interview:
Q: Looking back, things couldn't have worked out much better for you now that you're in Disturbed. But do you have any regrets about The Union Underground not lasting longer?
A: Well, sure man, I put my heart and soul into that band just like everything I do. Before that, I was in a band called Soak, and we toured Texas and when I left, it was a hard decision. The Union Underground, I was hoping to put together a second record, but internally, it broke apart. It broke my heart. When it didn't happen, it was hard that the band ended. Our last show was Halloween 2003 and for months after that, I wasn't in a band. It was the longest I'd gone without being in a band. I had some offers, but honestly, I was trying to hold out for the Disturbed gig. I didn't audition with them until April 2004. They had auditioned lots of people, and I just kept figuring, "Man, that gig's gotta be mine (laughs)."
Q: Co-headlining with Korn gives the fans a powerful double package of sorts, along with Sevendust and In This Moment. But did that present a challenge in choosing a setlist as opposed to, say, when you headlined the Uproar Festival?
A: You're absolutely right. We both just do the same setlist just over an hour. If we were the main headliners, we'd do an hour and a half. But either way, you're getting the same show every night from both bands wherever you live. Honestly, we've had some success over the years. We've had singles off every record. There are songs off The Sickness that our fans are going to always want to hear and that we're going to play, songs off the Believe record, Ten Thousand Fists, Indestructible, and songs off this Asylum record.
Q: San Antonians are disappointed the Mayhem Fest's lone Texas stop is Dallas (Aug. 10), especially after you guys co-headlined the first one with Slipknot here in 2008. But how excited are you to be playing with Godsmack and especially a band from an earlier era in Megadeth?
A: Oh yeah, it's going to be awesome. I grew up playing Megadeth songs, and I know a couple guys in the band. The Godsmack guys, too, a great band. It's going to be exciting. It's a great lineup, and even with bands like Trivium, Machine Head and Kingdom of Sorrow on the second stage, the fans are going to get a great show.
Q: Your favorite Disturbed song to play, and why?
A: I love 'em all for different reasons. Down With the Sickness, even though you'd think it'd get old playing it and we've played it a hundred thousand times -- and will probably always play it -- the crowd reaction, as soon as the drum beat hits, it goes crazy. The flip side is playing new songs that are fresh. We're playing The Animal and Another Way to Die -- songs that are fun -- and challenging songs like Inside The Fire during the solo part where me and Dan are just ripping together.
Q: Looking back, things couldn't have worked out much better for you now that you're in Disturbed. But do you have any regrets about The Union Underground not lasting longer?
A: Well, sure man, I put my heart and soul into that band just like everything I do. Before that, I was in a band called Soak, and we toured Texas and when I left, it was a hard decision.
