David Draiman trained in early life in Israel as a cantor.....has classical training in singing. This performance is astonishing because he was sick with the flu !!! He was fighting a fever!!! He and the rest of Disturbed band are amazing. He is a baritone.
David had a lesion on his vocal cord. Not the flu. The UA-cam channel The Charismatic Voice did an interview with David and he talks about his performance on Conan.
G to A4. This performance had a standing ovation and applause for about 10 minutes. It was nominated for a Grammy. This Conan performance has had over 100 million views with the studio version of over 800 million from 2015.
Simon and Garfunkels version was a warning of what was to come if we didn’t change. Disturbed’s version is rage that we didn’t heed that warning. Great reaction to what I think is the best version!
David’s brutally beautiful vocals are beyond most performers in today’s sad existence of “acting singers” that have no business becoming popular and calling themselves singers.
Great reaction! This is one of those songs where if you are going to perform it you have to own it, which Draiman does. This song is timeless because we still worship “neon gods”, our phones, and things just gets worse.
David Draiman is an incredible vocalist, Disturbed’s cover of this song garnered attention from an entirely new audience, an audience that would never have considered heavy metal artists as formidable talents. Also, the other band members, Mike Wengren, John Moyer and Dan Donegal are super talented and dedicated musicians. I enjoy watching reactions to this performance because it always leads to the reactors diving more deeply into the music of this very talented, multi-faceted group.
I never get tired of watching people hear this for the first time. I also never get tired of watching people hear "Hi Ren" for the first time. I'm kinda surprised that you haven't reacted to it yet. Please do!
David is unbelievably talented. The range of styles they utilize in their songs is incredible. I really like "Inside The Fire" and "The Light". I second Falling In Reverse, they have the best of rock and rap in their songs, with great messages. I would also recommend Sabaton "Bismarck". More to come later.
Anyone asks me about David's talent and I play them this. His Cantor training makes his range so beautifully done and controlled. Then you have his experience and training in Metal vocals...the seamless transitions in and out of the vocal Fry are ✨chef's kiss✨. Fantastic arrangement and performance by this entire band of incredible musicians.
David Draiman...amazing range and control...a powerful yet soulful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion/vocal fry and back on a dime, which is incredibly difficult to do . He is so unique as he actually puts vibrato on his distortion!....also VERY difficult to do...one of the best male vocalists on the planet imho. Loved your reaction guys.
I'm not a metal fan but I love this version of the song, best one I've heard. I also love them singing Hold On To Memories and Reason To Fight. Have you reacted to any Home Free music, im sure you will find something you like, they have 200ish videos, have a look x
It has been said that the original was a gentle push to do the right thing and this is a shove because we didn't listen the first time. I have also heard that he was very sick that day and almost didn't go on. Amazing.
Have you gone down the Rabbit Hole of "RUSH" ......enjoy the ride. From the lyrics to the Time Signatures and the absolute professionalism, next level.
David comes from generations of Jewish Cantors. One thing I learned was that he has no tattoos out of respect to his grandfather and his heritage. He removes his piercings when going home. All the band are solid! David is a master of his instrument and a good man. I suggest a good place to start someone on metal is begin at beginning. Go back to KISS, Metallica, Ozzy, etc..
Late reaction to this, lads. I loved the original Simon and Garfunkel version which I always thought of as a great song. Not a huge fan of covers usually, as I think they feel like someone riding someone else's horse away. But this cover takes the original and makes something new and, I think, very impressive. It feels different enough to become its own thing, rather than a mere cover. And I agree, the dude has some very good pipes. Congrats on 80,000 subscribers btw.
You should do a reaction to the studio music video which is brilliant and also the vocals only version from the Conan show, no music as it's been taken out so you hear pure vocals
Rock and roll as a genre was derived from blues and country genre influences. Also if you have not heard welcome to the jungle by Guns N’ Roses you should.
Try Liliac they have some great covers they are a all family band of 5. There song MARS is outstanding. Thank you for doing this one. You all stay happy and healthy.
'Shout' was by Tears For Fears. I'd like to see you both react to Disturbed's cover version of the Genesis smash 'Land Of Confusion' it's incredible. Thanks.
Ever seen the parody of Disturbed, called, the greatest hit of Disturbed, absolute genius. Need to check out the wind of change cover by any given day, and the Zombie cover by bad wolves.
Love you wild and cray~cray Guys!! Rock on!! Go 👁👁Disturbed Live you will not be Disappointed!!!! Been there done that last count 2hands! Can’t wait to they hit Atlanta again~….fist pump in the air✊🤟🤘
Great reaction, absolutely loved it. If you want to react to something a little unique may I suggest "We Got The Moves" by Electric Callboy. This will definitely put a smile on your face. Great song and a funny video. Thanks again for the great reaction.
Guys react to ac dc. A lot of people will be able to relate coz they either would have heard it in some movies or they might would have heard it in general.
Check out Falling In Reverse - "Watch The World Burn" trending #3 with 6M views in the last 8 days. Also check out Snow Tha Product - "On my shit Freestyle", "Tell you like this", "Really Counts", "Shut up", "Never be me", and her recent features; Tech N9ne - "No See Umz" (feat. Snow Tha Product & Russ), " I Said What I Said" (feat. Ludacris, Snow Tha Product), Dax - A Lot At Stake (Feat. Snow Tha Product), Merkules ft Tech N9ne & Snow Tha Product - "WARFARE", Crooked I Ft. Snow Tha Product - "Not For The Weakminded". She is a VERY underrated rapper with bars that are not all about boobs and butts! You will not be disappointed she has great cadences and also raps in Spanish (only English tracks listed).

Tears for Fears. Was shout. The other was Phil Collins
I never get tired of watching people hear this for the first time. I also never get tired of watching people hear "Hi Ren" for the first time. I'm kinda surprised that you haven't reacted to it yet. Please do!

I lost my son to cancer, so for me the best Disturbed song is Hold onto Memories. Great reaction, gentlemen.

This is how that this song is supposed to sound like
💯❤️
Another brilliant song from Disturbed is The light, its words are so powerful, as is the music and arrangement. Incredible band.
I'm not a metal fan but I love this version of the song, best one I've heard. I also love them singing Hold On To Memories and Reason To Fight. Have you reacted to any Home Free music, im sure you will find something you like, they have 200ish videos, have a look x
The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel is sad resignation.
The Sound of Silence by Disturbed is Dammit LISTEN!
If this performance doesn't reach in and grab yoir soul, you aren't human.
It has been said that the original was a gentle push to do the right thing and this is a shove because we didn't listen the first time. I have also heard that he was very sick that day and almost didn't go on. Amazing.
You need to listen to DISTURBED HOLD ON TO MEMORIES 😢😢, very touching and beautiful song!!!!
One of the greatest covers of all time
Have you gone down the Rabbit Hole of "RUSH" ......enjoy the ride. From the lyrics to the Time Signatures and the absolute professionalism, next level.
Oh, man....that voice. 💕
I love a bit of Disturbed- Down with the Sickness, The Game, Stricken, Indestructible, Inside the Fire are some of my favourites
Absolutely.
David comes from generations of Jewish Cantors. One thing I learned was that he has no tattoos out of respect to his grandfather and his heritage. He removes his piercings when going home. All the band are solid!
David is a master of his instrument and a good man.
I suggest a good place to start someone on metal is begin at beginning. Go back to KISS, Metallica, Ozzy, etc..
Did you see the new festival they announced last week on the Coachella grounds, called Power Trip? Look at the lineup!
Late reaction to this, lads. I loved the original Simon and Garfunkel version which I always thought of as a great song.

Get ready for a religious experience! Shakes my very soul! It's a thing of beauty! ❤

Extraordinariamente conmovedor, magistra. ME MUERO CON SU VOZ, CON ESTA INTERPRETACIÓN, ABSOLUTAMENTE SUBLIME
I get to see Disturbed next month!
If you want something that a rock guy and a rap guy may like then listen to "Industructable" it's my favorite Disturbed song.
Try Liliac they have some great covers they are a all family band of 5. There song MARS is outstanding. Thank you for doing this one. You all stay happy and healthy.
'Shout' was by Tears For Fears. I'd like to see you both react to Disturbed's cover version of the Genesis smash 'Land Of Confusion' it's incredible. Thanks.
Land of confusion is spot on!
Ever seen the parody of Disturbed, called, the greatest hit of Disturbed, absolute genius. Need to check out the wind of change cover by any given day, and the Zombie cover by bad wolves.

You have to react to Disterbed - Down with the Sickness.
Y’all are my subscription with this one
Beautiful.
For the absolute best listen to John Farnham from Australia sing Help live with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Cannot beat it.
Great reaction, absolutely loved it. If you want to react to something a little unique may I suggest "We Got The Moves" by Electric Callboy. This will definitely put a smile on your face. Great song and a funny video. Thanks again for the great reaction.
I would absolutely love for you guys to react to the deathcore band Slaughter to Prevail and their song Demolisher
Try Amazing Grace by Dan Vasc. He is a metal singer and it is unreal.
He is trained in opera as well.
Tears for Fears did Shout, the song you were referencing
And to think that I had to personally introduce my dad to “Stairway To Heaven” by Led Zeppelin…. Ugh…
Wow......
Shout Shout was 'Tears For Fears'.
You missed out not watching the associated video...
Loved this reaction
Can you do a reaction to Disturbed The Light?
Sounds good. We will add it to our list.
Why are we talking do much about Nirvana?? On with the mudic please! David is amazing!!y favorite in 73 yrs on this earth!!
Hold on 😢
Get him to listen to call me The breeze by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Guys react to ac dc. A lot of people will be able to relate coz they either would have heard it in some movies or they might would have heard it in general.
Good call
Never heard of them
U should have had him watch Simon & Gs 1st then this one!
Hes a baritone
You guys try Bad Wolves cover of Zombie?
Watch Zakk wyld and the less Paul trio do voodoo child
Tears for fear lol
Shout is Tears for Fears. That was my college favorite... the band. I liked the song, but that is mid list for them.
I guess the rapper never heard of the Beatles or the Rolling Stones.
Check out Falling In Reverse - "Watch The World Burn" trending #3 with 6M views in the last 8 days.
Also check out Snow Tha Product - "On my shit Freestyle", "Tell you like this", "Really Counts", "Shut up", "Never be me", and her recent features; Tech N9ne - "No See Umz" (feat. Snow Tha Product & Russ), " I Said What I Said" (feat. Ludacris, Snow Tha Product), Dax - A Lot At Stake (Feat. Snow Tha Product), Merkules ft Tech N9ne & Snow Tha Product - "WARFARE", Crooked I Ft.

You will not be disappointed she has great cadences and also raps in Spanish (only English tracks listed).
The guy on the right really can't hear it😢
