Dope guitarist Virus feels that Disturbed frontman David Draiman pulled the plug on Device too soon. Device was formed by Draiman and Geno Lenardo (ex-Filter) with Virus himself having joined the band for as part of their touring lineup. Recently Draiman stated that he has no intentions of making another Device album. Speaking recently with Talk Toomey, Virus recalled:
“Device was extremely successful for the little time it was around. If it just was left to do what it was supposed to do and we gave it the proper time and attention, like we were gonna, that band would have been huge. I have no doubt about that. The first single went to No. 1. Things were great, and we sold a bunch of records. I think that we were at 110,000 records when David pulled the plug.”
He continued:
“The tour that we walked away from before it was all over was Avenged Sevenfold headlining, Five Finger Death Punch was main support, and then it was Device. That was the tour that we had lined up, and David walked away. That band could have been a really large band.”
Draiman of course has since returned his focus to Disturbed, who returned with a new album this past August.
