Frasi David Draiman
„Penso che lui sia probabilmente uno dei frontman più enigmatici dei nostri tempi. È di un'ispirazione tremenda per i cantanti di tutti i generi, incluso me. So che ci sono delle stranezze riguardo l'"incidente“
l'omicidio di Dimebag Darrell], ma so per certo che Phil non avrebbe mai potuto pensare di fare del male al compianto Dime. Sai, il mondo è un luogo veramente estremo. Quando un fan si connette così tanto con una band che il suo scioglimento, in qualsiasi modo lo interpretino, li porta a pensare alla loro vita e alla loro esistenza... penso sia strano. Ci sono così tanti tipi di musica che ispirano quella passione nelle persone e per fortuna il metal è uno di essi. È stata solo sfortuna che questo animale abbia preso così seriamente lo scioglimento dei Pantera da dargli una giustificazione per fare ciò che ha fatto. Ha tolto la vita probabilmente a uno dei più grandi chitarristi che abbia messo piede sulla Terra.
„[I'm] Very positive about the internet, Napster. I think it's a tremendous tool for reaching many more people than we ever could without it. When you release music you want it to be heard by people… Nothing is going to do that better than Napster. I can't tell you how many kids have come up to me and said, "I downloaded a couple of tunes off Napster and I went out and bought the album."…I don't really make money off of record sales anyway.“

„I had been taking Prevacid for about four years and my body built up a resistance to it, to the point where it wasn't doing anything anymore… I had a night of drinking in London followed by a full day and night of drinking on a day off in Dublin, because what else is there to do in Ireland but drink? That, coupled with a show where I had monitor problems, and I pretty much trashed my voice.“

„[on Phil Anselmo] I think that he's probably one of the more enigmatic frontman of our time. He's tremendously inspirational to vocalists throughout the genre including myself. I know that there's some weirdness regarding the "incident," but I certainly know that Phil would have never in his darkest thoughts ever have wanted any harm to befall Dime. You know the world is a very, very extreme place. When a fan gets so connected to a band that the demise of the band, however they want to interpret it, leads them to question their own lives and their existence… I mean it's weird. There are too many types of music that inspire that passion in people and thankfully metal is one of them. It's just unfortunate that this animal happened to take the demise of Pantera so seriously that he felt that it was justification for him to do what he did. He took the life of probably one of the greatest guitar players to walk the face of the Earth.“

„Nonsense. I think that the problem isn't with them downloading the song, the problem is when they buy the record and when they burn a million discs off their computer for all their friends. That's the reason why every single band, no matter who you are, your sales are chopped by fifty to sixty percent after your first week out. It's a huge problem, but instead of giving people more reasons to buy the product, they don't worry about that. I think you have to enhance the value of the product. Like when KISS was putting out records, their 'Alive' record sold so well because it made you feel like you were part of the concert experience. There was also an actual program in the thing, all these pictures, the KISS Army stuff… There's so much stuff that added to the value of that package. There wasn't a KISS fan out there who didn't want the whole thing, because everything that came along with the music was so worthwhile to them. It's not rocket-science, this stuff.“

„[about the name Disturbed] It had been a name I have been contemplating for a band for years. It just seems to symbolize everything we were feeling at the time. The level of conformity that people are forced into was disturbing to us and we were just trying to push the envelope and the name just sorta made sense.“
