Disturbed Singer David Draiman Ditched His Chin Piercings Because He Didn't Want to Be a "45-Year-Old Hot Topic Kid."

In an interview with "Revolver," he said, quote, "It took [my parents] a while before they saw it, and my mom cried. They were not happy."
But he ditched the piercings in 2018. In a past interview with a German media outlet, he said they were a pain in the butt, and he didn't want to look like a, quote, "45-year-old Hot Topic kid."

Rumor Killer: The Riff from "Sweet Child O' Mine" Was Not a Warm-Up Exercise
You may have heard that the riff from the Guns N' Roses classic "Sweet Child O' Mine" started as one of Slash's warm-up exercises. It makes for a great story, but it's NOT true.
Slash says, quote, "I was sitting around the house where Guns used to live at one point, in '86, I guess it was, and I just came up with this riff. It was just me messing around and putting notes together like any riff you do.
"You're like, 'This is cool,' and then you put the third note and find a melody like that. So it was a real riff; it wasn't a warm-up exercise."
He adds, quote, "That's how it started, and then Izzy [Stradlin] started playing the chords behind it, and then Axl [Rose] heard it, and it started from there."
