Disturbed’s current single “Don’t Tell Me” features guest vocals from Heart’s Ann Wilson, but the hard-rocking band’s frontman, David Draiman, wants to duet with another powerhouse singer on the tune when his group plays Nashville later this month.

Draiman took to his social media this week to share that he’d love for country superstar Carrie Underwood to join Disturbed onstage at the band’s February 17 concert at Bridgestone Arena.

“Who’d like to see @carrieunderwood sing #donttellme with @disturbed in #nashville ??!!!” Draiman wrote in his post. “I sure as hell would!!!”
The rocker then extended an invitation to Underwood: “Whatcha say Carrie? Shall we rock? 🤘🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻”
Fans React to Potential Disturbed-Underwood Duet
Draiman’s message got support from plenty of fans in the comments section, although not all of them were on board with the idea.

“As good of a singer as she is, I don’t think she has the grittiness in her voice to match what Ann sang,” one fan responded.
However, another immediately fired back, “Have you actually heard [Underwood] sing rock songs? She has the grit in her voice to do rock songs, trust me.”

A third fan was totally excited about the prospect of a Draiman-Underwood duet, writing, “Hell yes!!! Carrie is the queen of country music but she’s got a rocker’s soul! I would LOVE to hear her and David together!”
Yet another wrote, “Yes!!! Carrie can rock it!!! She has covered a lot of rock & metal songs!! 🤘🤘🤘”
Underwood Is a Hard-Rock Fan
Underwood’s love for hard rock is well documented. In recent years, she’s joined Guns N’ Roses to perform “Welcome to the Jungle” multiple times at their concerts, and has invited Axl Rose to sing the song with her at her own shows too.
As Blabbermouth.net points out, Underwood revealed during a 2023 interview on SiriusXM’s Octane channel that some of her favorite heavy rock acts are Disturbed, I Prevail, and Korn.
Among the rock songs Underwood has covered at her concerts are GN’R’s “Paradise City,” Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades,” Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation,” Pat Benatar’s “Hit Me with Your Best Shot,” and Led Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll.”
Underwood also famously performed Heart’s “Alone” during her victorious run on American Idol’s fourth season.
