DISTURBED Guitarist Interviewed At 'Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem' Kick-Off (Video)

July 11, 2011

On July 9, Kevin Conklin of the 93.7 KCLB Rocks! radio station (web site) conducted an interview with DISTURBED guitarist Dan Donegan at the San Manuel Amphitheatre in San Bernardino, California at the first stop of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. You can now watch the chat below.

The DISTURBED-led Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival tour kicked off on Saturday (July 9) in San Bernardino, California and is launching a fundraising drive for members of the U.S. military. When you text "Metal of Honor" to 41518, you will donate five dollars to military veterans, active members and their families through the Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) organization. Thirty pairs of tickets will also be made available to members of the armed forces at each stop on the tour.

IAVA will also have a "Metal of Honor" tent on the trek, where members of the military can visit and get chances to meet the bands on the bill.

DISTURBED frontman David Draiman recorded a PSA to explain and promote the campaign. Draiman has told The Pulse Of Radio in the past that DISTURBED is always 100 percent behind America's armed forces. "We need to support our troops and love our troops and do everything we can," he said. "In fact, any chance that we as DISTURBED have to perform for the troops, give them a little bit of encouragement, strength, build their hope, I would do in a heartbeat."

The Mayhem tour, which also features GODSMACK, TRIVIUM, MACHINE HEAD, IN FLAMES and more, stops on Tuesday (July 12) in Auburn, Washington and has shows booked into mid-August.
