Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Disturbed shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Disturbed offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Disturbed at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Disturbed? Wrong! If the Disturbed is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Disturbed then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Disturbed? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Disturbed and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Disturbed wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Disturbed then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Disturbed site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Disturbed, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Disturbed, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

[Matt Konopinski-->Disturbed is a rock music band from Chicago, Illinois, Illinois. The group was formed in 1996 when musicians Dan Donegan, Steve Kmak, and Mike Wengren hired singer David Draiman in Chicago, Illinois. Originally classified as a nu metal band,Biography - VH1.com Disturbed is now regarded by some music critics as hard rock or Heavy metal music, although others now regard them as alternative metal. However, the band's genre is still being debated. When asked about die-hard metal fans not finding Disturbed heavy enough, frontman David Draiman stated: "We probably have too much melody going on or we're not quite as turbulent or caustic. While I really love that type of music, it's not what we try to do. If we have to place things in context, we're more hard rock than heavy metal these days."

History Around 1998, not long after the band was created, Disturbed recorded two separate demo (music) Extended plays, titled "Stupify" and "Perfect Insanity", which the band then sent out to different record companies. The band sent two to show the record companies that the band was dedicated to its music and that the first EP wasn't a fluke. The band broke out in 1999 with its single "Stupify" and subsequent album The Sickness, released in early 2000.

The album launched the band into stardom. The song "Down with the Sickness" from the album became extremely popular and was later used in many film soundtracks and anime music videos, and still is used a great deal to this day. Soon after the release of The Sickness, Disturbed released a revamped cover version of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's theme music for World Wrestling Entertainment called "Glass Shatters". Disturbed headlined Ozzy Osbourne's Ozzfest tour in 2001 alongside Black Sabbath, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot (band), Papa Roach, Linkin Park, Black Label Society, and Crazy Town. Afterwards, the band started their own tour, called Music as a Weapon. The bands Adema, Drowning Pool, Stereomud, and Systematic were featured on the tour alongside Disturbed.

Before joining Marilyn Manson's 2001 European tour, former bassist Steve "Fuzz" Kmak was unable to play with the band due to a shattered ankle. Fuzz injured his ankle by falling out of a fire escape outside Disturbed's rehearsal hall in Chicago a few days before Christmas. He took the fire escape to exit the building while the elevator was being used to move their equipment downstairs. After a successful operation, doctors highly recommended that he skip the tour to avoid more severe damage to his foot. But he did perform with the band on January 11th and 12th, 2001 at Disturbed's show in Chicago. A bass player named Marty O'Brian was recruited and filled Fuzz's spot until Fuzz was able to play again. On June 4th, 2002, Disturbed released a "Documentary film" about the band called M.O.L., which showed the band in personal in the studio and during tours.

In September 2002, Disturbed released their second studio album titled Believe (Disturbed album), which debuted at #1. The songs "Prayer", "Liberate" and "Remember" became very popular and many fans were impressed with Disturbed's new album, despite it being less aggressive then their previous album. Disturbed's frontman, David Draiman, recorded the vocals for "Forsaken", a track written and produced by Jonathan Davis of Korn for the Queen Of The Damned Soundtrack. In 2003, the band once again participated in the Ozzfest tour and started another one of their own tours named "Music as a Weapon II". The bands Chevelle, Taproot (band), and Unloco toured with them.

Steve "Fuzz" Kmak left the band in early 2003, after Disturbed had finished the "Music as a Weapon II" tour; as frontman David Draiman puts it, "When Kmak was with the band, Disturbed wasn't totally clicking; musically or personally." The band tells fans that he left for personal reasons. on mtv.com He was replaced with Matt Konopinski and then later with John Moyer, whom is now the current bass player.

Disturbed toured with 10 Years and Ill Niño in support of their third album Ten Thousand Fists, released worldwide on September 20th, 2005, which also debuted at #1 in the U.S. Ten Thousand Fists had five B-side tracks that were not released on the album, but rather on various singles and other albums. Currently the track "Hell" can be found on the "Stricken (song)" single (a second version of this single has the studio version of the track "Dehumanized", which was originally featured as a live track on the "Music as a Weapon II" live album and DVD). The track can also be heard on the band's Myspace page. The track "Monster" was originally released as part of an iTunes pre-order package for the first people who pre-ordered the album Ten Thousand Fists. Afterwards, the track was very hard to find. But, it can now be found on the "Tour Edition" of Ten Thousand Fists (along with the track "Two Worlds"). The track "Sickened" can be found on the "Land of confusion#Disturbed cover version and video" single. The fifth and final B-side track "Criminal" has currently not been released to the public. A month after the release of Ten Thousand Fists, Disturbed headlined the Jägermeister tour along with Bloodsimple.

Disturbed supplied the song "Stricken" for WWE New Year's Revolution#2006. In April 2006, the band completed an Australian tour supporting Korn and sharing the tour with 10 Years and Hatebreed. In mid 2006, a European tour was scheduled but had been moved twice due to the band's frontman having troubles with his voice.

"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," he told MTV.com. "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 mtv.com

In late 2006, Draiman went to undergo surgery for his voice. It was successful, and ever since then, Draiman has stopped drinking. Disturbed headlined Ozzfest 2006 along with Ozzy Osbourne, System of a Down, Dragonforce, Avenged Sevenfold, Lacuna Coil, and Hatebreed. The band also went on the European tour that had been previously moved twice earlier in 2006. Disturbed headlined another one of their own tours named "Music as a Weapon III"; the bands Flyleaf, Stone Sour, and Nonpoint toured with Disturbed on this tour.

Disturbed's frontman recently became involved in the music file sharing controversy by publicly speaking out against the RIAA's lawsuits against filesharing individuals, despite the fact his record label is a member of the RIAA. "This is not rocket science. Instead of spending all this money litigating against kids who are the people they're trying to sell things to in the first place, they have to learn how to effectively use the Internet. For the artists, my ass... I didn't ask them to protect me, and I don't want their protection."

Draiman also told NYRock: " 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. Artists really want to have their music heard. They want to have their creation 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.' Or they say, 'I want to come see you play.' I don't really make money off of record sales anyway."

Disturbed completed the "Music as a Weapon III tour" in late 2006. On their last stop of the tour, which was in Madison, WI., the band stated that they were going off the road to start working on their fourth album. The title and release date of the new album has yet to be disclosed to the public.

On June 13, 2007, the band was honored as "Ballsiest Band" at the 2007 Spike TV Guys' Choice Awards, defeating the other finalist, Lamb of God (band), via a nationwide vote. They accepted the award live and dedicated it to members of the United States military, specifically to a unit which has used Disturbed's music to get pumped up going into battle.

A new track titled "This Moment" was released on the soundtrack to the movie Transformers - The Album. It is currently unknown if the song will be on their next album.

More recently, the band's MySpace page and official website were both updated, stating that Disturbed has been busy writing new songs for their fourth studio album, that they are hoping to record the new album within a few months and are aiming for an early 2008 release.

In a recent interview with "The Big Rock Show", Dan Donegan stated that their new album "Is going to be a lot ballsier" than their previous albums.
