My Take
Donegan interests me as the unsung architect of a sound. As Disturbed's guitarist and founding member, he is not the frontman who soaks up the spotlight, but the riffs that make the band instantly recognizable are largely his doing. Knowing he started in a 1980s glam-metal outfit called Vandal before refining things into something heavier and groovier tells me he is a musician who kept evolving rather than chasing trends. I have always preferred guitarists who serve the song over those chasing flashy solos, and Donegan strikes me as exactly that kind of dependable backbone player worth respecting.
