BTW he has a double chin piercing :P

No it's not the mic, it's his vocal cords.. He was born with autotune in his neck, it's a rare birth trait gifted among God's....
No, he's been heavily tuned.
@@Malc180s He's heavily tuned live? Obviously you've never heard him sing acoustic with no mic, he sounds the same..... Dude's got an epic voice, that's the bottom line. Accept it...
@@nikpodojil6315 I'm not going to accept a lie.. It's clear for all to hear. Of course it's tuned. And that's fine. Most music you listen to has an autotuned vocal - it makes sense. Rather than striving for the perfect performance, rhythm, feel, tone AND pitch, let the singer enjoy themselves, get a great vocal, and fix any pitchy-ness it in a fraction of the time.
Malc180s really... like seriously
@@Malc180s Check out the acoustic version of their newest hit "a reason to fight" and see if you think otherwise
It was said from another reactionary commentary within a post, and I quote, "Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning. Disturbed's version is rage because the warning was ignored."
This is the best description I've ever read
@@mistyrush6609 Merci Beaucoup
Nice
THIS!
Wow... That is such a perfect description.
Lady his vocal cords are
INDESTRUCTABLE
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side
A terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know 😡👊🏻
David Draiman has described himself as "sick as a dog" the night he performed this on Conan. 102° temperature and bronchitis to boot. David Draiman is a genuine baritone, with a massive vocal range, and was classically trained as a cantor in a synagogue when he was younger. I heard that they didn't even tell him they were going to use Auto-Tune, they just did it without his permission. He didn't find out until post, and he didn't even find out from them, he heard it in the track and confronted them with it. Man, was he ever pissed. From what I hear he hates Auto-Tune, 'cause he feels like it's cheating. You should go listen to the live concert version with Myles Kennedy.
Source?
It's unlikely he was unaware of the auto tune. These kinds of TV events are pretty meticulously coordinated ahead of time and all the specifics of the performance are designed. Most TV performances will not even allow for a completely live take. Too many things that can go wrong.
As for how much he hates auto tune... well.. the studio recording of the song has auto tune clear as day on it, so...
@@WeissAdvice there's a difference between autotune and mastering. In this rendition the autotune was for a split second not really the whole song. Also he is on record being pissed about it.
I commend him for this performance due to how sick he was
If you listen close you can detect the corrections. But in two spots you can hear his voice crack because of the bronchitis. Amazing he was able to do this well as sick as he was. Listen to the official video and you'll hear his perfect multi-octive voice go from the basement to the roof without a fault. And without being tuned. Beautiful.
The chick: That's a very metal thing of him to do.
My brain: OOH AH AH AH AH!
I see you too get down with the sickness 😂
OOOOH OOOOH
ooh ooh
HAHA
@Peter Lustig There's multiple aspects to singing. Maybe she has stage fright, maybe she doesn't want the fame, maybe she can't write songs, etc.
I mean, an MMA coach may be a coach instead of a fighter because he's not great at fighting, or maybe it's because he doesn't want to get brain damage.
When a vocal coach says" oh I know this song" after a minute of a masterpiece like the sound of silence........i mean.... Really!!!!
I think she was kidding... or at least I hope.
I know. Like, seriously?
Nah she knew. I think she said it in the reaction to pentatonix’s cover of this song.
I had the same reaction, like Oh wow! what a surprise! But I do hope she was just kidding
Right
Trust me, I think this guy knows what he’s doing when it comes to adding rasp and “metal vocals” LOL
Almost like he’s done it a time or two. But i could be wrong 😏
She should give lessons to Brian Johnson and Phil Anselmo about adding rasp.... 🙄
Always makes me laugh when you hear them say such things 😂😂
She said he has a “rock quality to his voice” and I died 😂
this is one of the best singers in the world he DOES NOT NEED AUTOTUNE.....
He is phenomenal, he was classically trained which allows him to do a lot of his harder vocals in metal without injury. One of the greatest vocalists ever.
ABSOLUTELY!
@@grimsgurl1 Yawn
Check Killswitch Engage Holy Diver with Howard. Or Fear Factory..
Corey Taylor
yeah, unlike Serj Tankian
who would do all of the harder vocals without having that much train and ended up with a chicken voice.
This man is a most gifted singer. He is classicly trained and this is the most beautiful version of this song ever!
True. So very true!
pentatonix did it better🤷🏽♂️
Even Paul Simon approved of this version of his song....
@@malachithomas1 I'm a huge Pentaholic, but no...they didn't. Their version was great, but it didn't have the darkness and emotion that is one did.
sandpiperr the song doesnt even get good until his “people writing songs”. it was just boring until that point then it started to become more powerful. he’s a good vocalist and great at using vocal frying and all. but with pentatonix the complex harmonies, and the bass line, and the fact that they DONT USE INSTRUMENTS makes it all the more powerful. yeah the orchestra he had with him sounded AMAZING but they sounded equally AMAZING without the orchestra 😂😂.
anyways.. all in all,
this version was better for “emotion”
pentatonix’s was better vocally
I can’t believe it took you a full minute to recognize this song. Its one of humanity’s masterpiece
He was sick during this performance. He was angry when he found out about the auto tune
You could say he was down with the sickness?
@@jamesbetterdge2873 brilliant comment
@@tomoneill6347 but pretty old.
Haha
and you can see he is angry during the performance
“There’s this rock quality to his voice”. Good thinkin’. This guy oughtta try some rock stuff.
LMAO
😂😂😂😂
🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I almost died at the "there's a real rock quality to his voice" comment.
David knows exactly what he is doing with the fry. He trained with a vocal coach. In fact he still trains with his vocal coach. David started his musical career as a Cantor like his famous great grandfather. Watching this incredible man do interviews is fascinating. He also champions the cause of mental health awareness. I adore him. Btw Disturbed is a heavy metal band.
He's was classically trained. Turned heavy Metalist.
Now do "Down WithThe Sickness" ...I'll wait
Matt C my thoughts EXACTLY! 😂🤘🏼🤘🏽
Nice comment ! ❤
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Or stricken
Indestructible ;)
I love how David's fans protect him because they love him and want no one to be left unclear about his voice and what a tremendous gift he has. That love of him touches me and I can understand that.
Is not like a
Just a fan defense, he Is one of the top vocalists on his genre, Is not reggeatón, Is metal
OK Arianna auto
10k fists ✊🏾
ua-cam.com/video/k-M7MM-tob0/v-deo.html love to knwo what you think
Nailed it. Im a fan and i protect bc i know how good his vocal skills are and im used to rock/metal vibe
Edit we need 10000 fists in the air
No auto tune. It's called talent!
I mean there is auto tune. His talent is crazy though. It’s not like auto makes you a good singer
100% there is autotune
only for about six seconds that the show added and he was beyond angry about it because he doesn't use autotune. You can look that up if you like, it took over 200 comments and a statement by Draiman himself to get it through a different reactor's thickass skull that he doesn't.@@hellbillyhound
There were about six seconds of autotune on this number only that the show added. That he as pissed about because he doesn't use auto tune.
I can watch this a thousand times and still get chills
Me too🔥❤️
Is the back door open?
She : There's this rock quality to his voice.
Me: * Falls off chair *
So did I LOL
The Man who sings “Get Down with the Sickness” Soooo Metal!
wait why did you say you fell of the chair, was it because she didn't know this man's in a heavy metal band or was it because she was kinda dead on
Jasonomnia Because it’s obvious that he has “this rock quality to his voice” if you know absolutely anything about the band lol. That’s sort of the point.
@@SilverArro
They're one of my favorite, but the OG had a vague statement so I was asking what he meant when he said that
"There's a very fine line between vocal frying and shredding your vocal chords."
Well, he's been doing in for 20+ years now. I'm guessing he's got it down to some degree.
Looks like it!
I’m pretty sure he makes a lot more money too. Yeeeeeeeeah, he gots this lol
@@homelessrobot OH!!!! NO my friend, we were defo watching the same vid AND i think im right in saying and speaking for the community that we recognise she's a very talented lady WERE just astonished and humourized at her STATING THE BLOODY OBVIOUS..over and over ...BE GENTLE MY FRIEND lifes easier.
Yeah!! true, but her lack of been able to see the obvious was astonishing as she 's a vocal coach,and should of been able to recognise his art ,her comments in this area were abundant.A teacher know's a pupil can read when she hears them read, my point being when one of her comments was oooh!! that was a very metal thing for him to do, {hes a metal legend!!!!}. i agree with you about the mirror statement and there is nought that i disagree with, i perhaps feel if i may dare to say that you are missing the humour in all this. Without doubt a lady who knows her technical art , its her innocents in this genre that comes across a little pompous .If you fix bikes for a living you better know bikes eh!!?
@@JasonLee-ek3wz I think you are missing it a tiny bit. If I didn't know who Disturbed was, never heard anything by them, no idea of what actual genre of music they perform, I would be impressed by his vocal range and ability. Especially singing Sound Of Silence. In all honesty, when I was first told I had to go listen to their rendition of this song, knowing who Disturbed is, I was incredibly impressed and became an even bigger fan of Disturbed. I can see where the confusion came into play with Tara. I perform a lot of country music, but then I'll go into a few songs of Journey or Puddle Of Mud and I get extreme reactions.
Trained cantor! His skills are real!
I CANNOT listen to this cover of the song without tearing up 😭 it sooooo good
He is an Opera singer, dear one..
He is insanely talented
Wait seriously he sang Opera? That makes a lot of sense now
@@EngelWulf yes, he is classically trained
Classical and metal (Vocally anyway) have a lot in common.
David is not and never was, an opera singer. He was trained as a Cantor in a Jewish faith school. There are some parallels in the training, but they're completely different vocal styles.
He trained with Melissa Cross who has a background in opera.
This guy is amazing and was classically trained. It’s piercings on his chin. His voice is hauntingly beautiful
you meant his repaired chin?
David trained to be a cantor which is where and why is “soft” voice is so beautiful. The gruffness is how he makes his living.
That moment when a vocal coach says "Oh I think I know this song" when listening to The Sound Of Silence...
You couldn't make that one up.
How could you NOT recognize the song from the very beginning? It's legendary
I did thought the same... my god... sound of silence Simon and garfunkel.. thats an ICONIC song.. how can you do not know this song as a song teacher
99% people will know the song if you just play hello darkness my old friend it kinda pissed me off how she said I know this song when he sings the title of the song trigggerd
Nah. This song is older than most of the people commenting on this video. She's a youngster, consumed in her trade....voice, not song. Big difference. No problem with it.
@some random She was correcting his pronunciation of words, which are different for singing than speaking.
@some random She said "plantERD though, not plantED." That's correcting pronunciation.
Disturbed's version of the classic Simon and Garfunkle's The Sound of Silence is epic in every respect. Brilliant.
J Flynn - Being in my teens in the late 70’s and 80’s I hadn’t come across a remake of a song from back then that was even close to being as good as the original. We are of course all biased to nostalgia.......until I heard this by Disturbed. His version, for me, is even better than Paul Simon’s original. Fantastic!
The man has a voice like no other no one can explain his reach
I have witnessed Draiman sing this song live and it is quite an experience. Even their original writings, rather heavy, are epic. I was already a fan of Disturbed before I heard their version but when I did I was blown away. Amazing!
David Draiman is a classically trained singer and has an amazing sound and range. Disturbed is a phenomenal metal band. Really enjoyed your take on his performance. David was actually under the weather for this performance and yes the producers added autotune without him wanting it. He never uses it. He was irked.
It is such a pity when live performances are ruined by autotune... People do not understand that singing isn't flawless. Every video on youtube where singer is using extreme singing (belting, whistle, distortion...) and is perfect is heavily processed and either lipsynced or autotuned. There is just no way anybody can lay a perfect vocals on hard songs in 1 take. There is always gonna be some bad timing or flat/sharp note or vibrato flaw or something... Hiding these flaws puts unspeakable pressure on newcomers. I do not understand why these vocal coaches do not react only to unmiced performances of singers. Makes much more sense... Like these 2 for example: ua-cam.com/video/5BPGmCClb-c/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/uAjaGUdfsPA/v-deo.html
@@SamuelNovota Ive seen disturbed 3 times live. He sings how he sings. Live, studio, whichever...he sounds nearly identical. Some people are just really talented and well trained singers. David is one of them
@@Dwendele I believe you. I do not not him that well. I was mostly talking about dudes like Dimash. This recording definitelly is not perfect, there is a live factor to it. I love it.
You can even see it in his face how irked he was on the auto tune at a couple of points. I’ve seen Disturbed live twice a long time ago and he’s always on point vocally. Never sounds bad
Ive watched a BTS on this song and I'm pretty sure he did it in one take for the album, he also said he usually gets most vocals for albums in 2-3 takes. Hes the man. Amazing singer that doesnt get as much credit as he deserves
Fun fact, he had the flu and fever when he made this performance.
It’s weird to react to this video n not the original video where he outperform himself! This one when he was sick is not the best of him!
Hence the auto tune. He HATED that he was forced to use auto tune.
Another vocal coach that did this caught that and she said it sounds like he might have a cold or something in his throat. How they can hear that is beyond me.
Plus, he has had other throat issues in the past.
@@andrewnyberg5726 and got hit by a bus before he came in also heard someone shot him as well,
...and laryngitis (and throat cancer) and crabs.
This is my favorite rendition of this song. His interpretation truly brings out the true meaning of the lyrics. Simon & Garfunkel sang to alarm us, he sang to give us a final warning. You should watch their music video version. It is as beautiful as it is haunting.
I absolutely love Disturbed’s version of this song. Bravo‼️
The man is extremely talented. No auto tune needed. I've heard him live multiple times and he's fantastic.
But in this performance there was autotune
How many still waiting for the DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS reaction video🗣👍🏽
Holly Warehouse I’d love to see that 😂😂 I doubt she’d be able to cope
No auto tune. This man is truly an amazing singer.
David Draiman is actually a classically trained singer. The man knows what he's doing, lol.
Tara, OMG. After a while you're like, "Oh I know this song". This is one of the most famous songs of all time.
I normally prefer the original artist of a specific song, but he does it very very well. No preference on either Style I would listen to Simon and Garfunkel's version and immediately listen to Disturbed's version.
Vocal coach huh?
(Likes the sound of one own voice)
She had to be kidding with that remark. If true, the discovery would compare with learning that water could be dispensed in bottles.
I thought the same thing! I was like... your a Vocal Coach? and it took her how long to figure it out?
@@andyz3925 that blonde hair goes pretty deep
Draiman's vocal coach Melissa Cross is arguably the best vocal coach in existence. Having listened to this live, coupled with the fact that he publicly denied using autotune. I for one will believe what the man said.
Some areas you can hear it are on the word "light" at 2:05 and "that voices" at 2:50. He's using autotune. Maybe it wasn't there in the live performance, but it's definitely there in the video.
@@BailOutVids Producers of the show force everyone to use autotune.
@@FlankerB3 Ever seen them live?
BakenDailey he had a cold and they used autotune without his permission. He told them not to but they did it anyways
@@FlankerB3 Yes thank you
David has been singing heavy metal for probably more than 30 years he has complete control over his secondary Folds. If you listen closely you can literally hear him from word to word using them and then not using them
It’s not the mic. He’s opera trained and sounded the same when I saw him live. Incredible voice
She’s trippin. Damien has an incredible voice, I can’t believe she had the audacity to say “auto tune”.
Cantor trained, and he was ill the night of the performance so the show producers turned on the auto tune, he didn’t need it though. It did kick in at least one during to performance.
@@ryanjofreshe probably never hear disturbed musjc
@@roybokelman4215 Yeah, he was less than enthused when he found out they did that.
Guys just because he's a great singer doesn't mean the mic or mix doesn't have pitch correction in it. The fact that he's an amazing singer is why you never hear it doing anything except in that one small moment. Let's not mistake her pointing that our for saying he need autotune to hit pitch.
She: "he is intentionly adding rasp"
Me: *listens to down with the sickness*
Me:"naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"
But to hear someone whose never heard him sing do an analysis. I thought she was right on the money.
MUAHAHAHAHAHA :David’s voice!:
@@camerondoane7495 Uh...Uh waa MUAHAHAHAHAHA
This performance will go down in history of one of the greatest.
Yes, Yes, Yes... thank you.
I agree 100%
Disagree... the Disturbed version of this song kills the song for me. It's almost laughable. The nuance of the song gets completely destroyed...
100%.
Cantufishing For. Sure. I’m offended about her even talking about it.
David was trained classically and did some singing as a cantor when needed. He has been singing metal over 20 years and still can sing with very clear tones. I’m sure that he has taken care of his voice
Think of where we were as a society in the 60's and the warning Simon & Garfunkle gave us through Paul's lyrics; think of where we are today, through the lens of this masterful arrangement David Draiman and Disturbed gave us - and of the anger we should feel that we've failed to listen to Paul's warning - we continue to stay silent. Now think of where we're headed...
in the south, they would say, "Bless her heart".
and I did 😂
Bless her heart
Omg yes
lol true, and we know what that means here in the south ;)
😅😅
David draiman is classically trained hence why he can sing how he does. Paul Simon even emailed him and endorsed his version of the song
Ah, you beat me to it (mentioning that he is classically trained)!
indeed...and yes, double chin piercing...get past it ;)
Not classically trained. He trained to be a cantor at synagogue. Not the same thing. He is a talented performer, regardless.
@@danwhitehousepc So he was classically trained. Got it.
@@TripleTapHK What's classical about singing at church?
"The whole point of music is to feel something"!
Tara, You are amazing :)
I love his version of this song. It’s so powerful.
Singer: "Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you!"
Vocal coach: ". . . Oh I know this one"
🤣🤣🤣
Actually, it's "hippo, birdie, two ewes!"
again .... is sad!
Watching other people react to this, I've been amazed at how many people don't know the original. Then I remember, they're not as old as I am. Sigh.
Right?!
He was oprea trained to begin with and has the flu during this performance. He is AWESOME
Denver Watts that’s false. He was trained by his grandfather who was a great Cantor at his synagogue. David actually studied Jewish law and such before he was kicked out. But he does have an operatic quality to his voice so I can see where you may have thought he was opera trained. He definitely was sick during this performance and yes he still killed it cuz the show must go on right? He also has an issue where a repair done to his vocal chords has failed so no he essentially gets acid pouring into his vocal chords. He now changes how he eats and when and how he sleeps. But it has effected his range. He just works through it now to still achieve epicness
@@randomperson1943 ok captain wiki
Mr Machine actually I watched an interview with loudwire on true and false facts about his life. And I’m a fan. Sorry you’re jealous I brought factual info to the comment section. You wanna contribute anything? No? That’s what I thought. Sad troll.
@@randomperson1943
Thank you!
It shouldn't matter, but I cannot stand when people say he was classically trained in Opera.
It's like nails on a chalkboard to me.
Besides, Google is a thing now. Do a quick once over & then comment.
@@randomperson1943 LMAO WHY ARE YOU SO MAD? AHAHHAHABSNAJAI
He was sick on this show. He does not use auto tune. He just has the true talent and classical training to pull this off live.
I nearly DIED when she said.. "Oh I know this song" Lord have mercy!! No that's not auto tune!!
My thoughts exactly how can a voice coach not know this song from the 1st now
She's a voice coach not a music library. Don't act like every voice coach know every song
She could be talking about how she knows the original song, since this one is a cover. Just a guess though
@@Doubie. That would piss me off. As you said, he doesn't need it and I'm sure still sounded fantastic even if sick.
Airon Iversen yep...and not sounds - rather sound....
God was just showing off a little bit when he created David Draiman
bLaCjAcK Daniels agreed
Just a bit 😁
Wait till they get a load of me 😈
Edmond Green that’s the confidence a serial killer or a talented person has.
He's my favorite 😍
I don’t know nor have I ever seen this woman, but I somehow knew she would find a “reason” to sing on this video.
Good to know you've heard of "the sound of silence"
"I've heard this song." I was like "I've heard?" I thought everybody *Knows* this song lol
LMFAO!!!
Ok, the people who are whining about her auto tune comment are completely over reacting. She's not knocking the guy at all. It just so happened that the producers of Conan actually did put it in for this performance. 97 to 98% is him. He doesn't use auto tune in his performances. The fact that she's able to recognize this and still give him all the credit shows, in one way, that she's a professional. From a critiqued point of view she have him an overwhelming praise.
He had a cold for this performance.
And yeah he has to be a great singer already to sound that good with autotune.
rational conservative no autotune added but a slight delay was.
@@jaderose3175 I can hear a clear autotune artifact on "and" before "voices" at 2:50.
So where is the source that states Conan's producers definitely used auto tune? Just curious.
His name is David Draiman. I've known him personally for about 14yrs now. No, he doesn't use auto-tune. He and I have had many convos about music as I'm a drummer and singer in a metal band. He has a phenomenal voice. However, this particular show (against his initial protests) they did add a slight auto-tune to his voice. Apparently they do that with all the people who go on to make sure it's a totally clean and smooth performance. All his other shows and performances, it's all him. Dave has such a great range crazy voice control. Tara Simon is an absolutely amazing vocalist herself. I've seen many of her videos and such. All those freaking out and making rude and disrespectful comments need to grow up. She was pointing out what she heard and noticed. As is HER JOB! Read the name of the video genius's. She's a professional and the fact that she can catch those little things shows how good she really is so kudos for that. This was a good video and I'm now subscribing.
Exactly! You said it best, Tara Simon ROCKS it out of the park!
You lucky man to know a legend like draimen he's seems like a genuine person.
"Geniuses" does not require an apostrophe.
People that can't take constructive criticism are people that will continue to do things wrong until the end of time.
There is always room for improvement. No matter what you do, sing, play an instrument, or build a car. It's the people that are always listening, learning and improving that will get to the top of whatever profession they are in.
This has always been a favorite song of mine. Was blown away at this cover. They hit the nail on the head. I could think of one or two more Simon amd garfunkel covers they would probably slay. Have a whole new respect for him after this. Really shows his range
TArt Garfunkle went to Columbia in New York. He met a guy named Sanford Greenberg who loved music and literature like Garfunkle and they became great friends and soon roommates. One day Greenberg was at a baseball game and his eyes started failing on him. Soon he was completely blind. Greenberg quit school and went home and fell into a great depression. Garfunkle visited him often trying to convince him to get back to Columbia. Garfunkel told Greenberg to call him "Darkness" in sympathy. With a great deal of help from Art, Sanford did come back to Columbia. Garfunkel helped him to class, filled our forms and papers, etc. One day Garfunkle took Greenberg to Grand Central Station (10,000 people, maybe more.) Garfunkel told Greenberg he forgot he had to be somewhere and up and left him there to find his own way home (over streets of cobblestone...) Greemberg found the right train and in his mind he saw the graffiti on the subway walls. Greenberg finally made it back and bumped into someone who said, "sorry." Greenberg recognized Garfunkel's voice. Garfunkel was with him all the way home. Greenberg got his confidence back, went back to school and when Garfunkle needed money to get his first record cut, Greenberg gave him his last $400. Wiith that Sound of Silence was published. Sanford Greenberg went on to Harvard and Oxford and became a wealthy businessman.
“Oh I know this song” At least now we know we’re listening to an expert
“There’s a rock quality to his voice” I guess that makes sense considering he is the lead vocalist in a rock band
More like, paid for that degree😂
If you listen to anything else by Disturbed you will definitely hear massive vocal fry and the power of his voice. This is probably one of the best covers of a song I've ever heard, and even though he is a singer of a metal band, his classical training easily comes through. Great reaction and insight.
Brian Connelly, Queensryche.. Scarborough Fair.
Try Zombie by Bad Wolves
not many covers do a song justice. This one surpasses the original. He puts so much feeling in it
Not metal
The last “...of silence...” always gives me the chills down my spine.
His voice is powerful and this is one of the songs he sings that shows it the best, I believe (I’m a Disturbed fan so I know the rest of their work).
About the reaction, I like it very much. It seemed really spontaneous and she seems like a talented professional.
I heard someone describe it as like a single tear falling.
Nope, no autotune. He's just that amazing.
No autotune on the mic. David Draiman's voice is incredible.
There is A point at which Autotune is used But it was only put in to keep consistency
There is some post-processing but it is mainly done for consistency like the other guy said. If you took it away you would still hear his amazing voice and he would be on key and in tune.
I love Disturbed, but this clearly IS autotuned.
a) You can clearly hear it
b) A lot of experts pointed it out, not only Tara
ua-cam.com/video/Bt19Q1v0Wtg/v-deo.html
c) David said it himself. He said that he usually didn't like to sing with autotune but, for some reason, had had to in this performance
There was autotune on applied to the audio by the shows producers David was furious about it
@@JasminGardenia hes mentioned before that he has a major acid reflux type of issue, and it can mess with your singing, particularly his problem because it is basically drowning his vocal chords.
Seen him sing live; exactly the same sound. He’s just incredible
Snap. Seen them couple years ago. This near had me in tears...
Seen them live a couple times, ALWAYS on point!
Awhile back Ozfest down by Berdoo, getting down with the sickness
Amy Asbury I saw him sing this at Alexandria palace and he was absolutely incredible
I seen hail storm and Lizzy sounded the same as well. She was amazing
you need to listen to his other works to appreciate how good this is he is incredible!
Yup. You're wrong. David Draiman is a classically trained singer as well as a rock god.
On the day this was recorded he had a fever of 103°f and still came out and killed it.
He's crazy talented.
No, that’s his voice. Davids voice is absolutely amazing. They are a metal band.
Yeah and David was trained
Cracking me up that the song wasn't recognized within 10 seconds lol.
Seriously.
She mentions in another video that she knows it's a cover and knew it right away
@@taunks287 certainly didn't appear that way in this video when she acted surprised at realizing she knew the song. It's not a big deal because it's obvious she didn't seem to know Disturbed either...just thought it was funny.
Most iconic pop song ever written. From the golden years of music
yeah she's a scam.
Hon, Dave has been singing like this possibly for as long as you have been alive. Nobody coaches this man's voice 🤣
Why are you people so weirdly obsessive about this? Calm down.
I love this version of the Sounds of Silence. His voice is raw and real. Love it.
You said he has a sound of rock in his voice... you have no idea lol :)
My favorite comment. David goes 30 times harder than this 95% of their songs.
Only truth be spoken here. David Draimen is even better live.
She really needs to listen to some of the other Disturbed albums. You got no idea how Rock these guys are! Auto tune?? Hahaha....er...no, thats his actual voice! Go to a concert...even better live.
@@angelis1179 Stephen, in this particular performance, the producers of the show actually added the auto-tune because he was sick at the time of this filming. She heard correctly. He didn't WANT the auto-tune, as he never uses it.
yeah he can scream like a madman
I think it’s great that Xena , warrior princess is still getting work.
Underrated comment
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Still got those bewbs, too.
I had the same thought.
Yes!! A rejuvenated Xena indeed
"Oh I know this song" says a vocal coach after listening to one of the most classic songs for a full minute. Good God.
He sang while sick with high fever and nailed it. Beautiful ❤
I get goosebumps every time I hear this version!
01:16 "Ooh-I know this song!"
That shows how original this cover is
Yes. He made it his own but while still keeping it recognizable. Inf....ingcredible!!!
A lot of times people don't realise they know a song 'til it gets to the chorus - or until it gets to the part where it says the title, oftentimes that being the chorus.
@@madhatressadastra8267 Maybe its the age of the listener but the opening line, "Hello darkness, my old friend" gave it away for me. I really don't know how she does not recognize that first line.
My interpretation of this song revised:
This song is written with two separate people or consciousnesses singing
it. Those that are waking up and those that have been awake for a very
long time. The first, third and fifth verse is sung from the perspective
of the unawakened and the second and forth verse are sung from the
perspective of the awakened.
Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
Hello, darkness, my old friend is about people that have been kept in
the dark and they're telling the darkness that they are experiencing
something new in their vision. They (the awakened/aware ones) planted
the seeds of truth/Light, and they are just starting to become aware.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
There are fewer of the awakened, and they feel as if they are alone
under the Light of truth, because they refused to by into the lies the
dark has been trying to feed them. Then one day they saw a crack in
the armor of dark, they saw a opportunity to break the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
And in that moment they saw all of the light workers/star seeds
(awakened Ones) telling
those that were still asleep the truth/Light, through telepathy
those that were sleeping heard and saw the truth/Light in a very subtle
way,
but yet they couldn't share this Light/truths with anyone for fear of
being attacked
by those that controlled the sound of silence.
They wrote the truth in songs, the truth had to be give covertly as not
to disturb the sound of silence (the dark). And when the people became
aware of the
Light/truth and realized that they had been in darkness the whole time,
it really pissed them off.
"Fools," said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
They reached out to those still in slumber, trying to give them
Light/truths, but they wouldn't open their minds to new truths, instead
remained in the sound of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence."
The people were so caught up in working hard to pay for all of the
things, the boats, cars, electronics, all of the toys that they covet.
They couldn't see or hear the truth, they were too distracted by
consumerism. The awakened/prophets have been trying to tell them through
their songs and poems, and that whisper of Light/truth awakened the
people from their slumber and they became ONE. Did you notice the ship
sailing into the Light at the end of the studio version?
I’ve never really watched him sing but I find the entire song flawless and beautiful
If I remember correctly, David said, in an interview, that when his group first thought of doing Sound of Silence, he did not yet have the vocal skills to make it work. It was a few years later that they did the song.
Scott M look at Anneliese Michel 6 demons in rock
Scott M the man is a true artist! 🙌🤘🏻
Wow. I didn't know that. That's a sign of a true artist - practicing to get better when you are already incredible.
It’s weird seeing a vocal coaches reaction to David singing when he himself is also a vocal coach 😂 He re-taught Matt Of Trivium how to sing and Produced Silence In the Snow for him.
She's clearly full of herself
thank you for that bit of info. I learn something new everyday
More so when she's on her UA-cam channel complimenting him like you would a child.... as he sings on TV for millions...
I did not know that
@@jrlomy2k no, she's just giving her unbiased opinion and explaining what he does and why he does it without knowing him. I mean I never knew about disturbed until recently because I was looking for covers of this exact song.
I appreciate an artist's POV of this number. I also liked the reaction to when you recognized the song & your interaction with it changed. #realness #priceless
The comments here are just as satisfying as the song itself. I laughed so hard I think it just cured my depression
For real hahaha
He's a metal vocalist, if you haven't looked that already. That's why he's so good with the rasp/double tone in his voice. That's part of his schtick. He's honestly one of the most talented vocalists in the metal scene.
He does have opera training.
Agreed.
Just his range in this alone, is mind blowing. Just because of the band he's in, I was waiting for the drop. He's superb
@@ianpilkington2037 he sure is.
Him and howard jones
this song was played by a trumpeter at my friend's funeral a month ago. I will always associate with him. one of the finest performances
It's not autotune. David is a singer who have a cantor formation.
And he was down in the sickness with the flu during this live recording.
We need David Draiman's reaction to this video
@DrLarynx then her reaction of him reacting and so on
A reaction to her trying to pull off this song
All I hear is OH AH AH AH
I've gotta be honest - I love their cover of this song so much that I just wanna slap you every time you pause the video to talk about it. lol
😂😂
I love it! So do I honey! I am offended every time she opens her trap.
Well, go and look for the complete song and not a reaction video!
@@carlostavares6972 X2
Lmao!!!
People have claimed he used autotune. He did not. But he was sick during this performance.
there is a bit that had autotune but the moment they used and got rid of it you can tell by his face like he did not like it and had a go at them afterwards for even using it as he hates autotune.
you've got a gift for vocals...we appreciate the insight/knowledge/expertise/feedback.....as a drummer that doesn't sing, his performance makes me want to sing one day....he's so inspirational with his interpretation of this legendary song! I can feel the power, intensity, finesse, and clarity as he delivers the message that Simon & Garfunkel intended....awesome!! :)
No one should be allowed to critique David Draiman's singing.
Especially this performance. Literally vocal perfection.
And he was sick when he performed it.
I kind of agree, but this is not my favorite performance of this song.... for reasons, I think the official music video is a much better performance by a healthy David. my 2 cents.
lots of autotune tho
@@Jonathan.S lol its not autotune
@@stalinclips8456 There is some autotune in this instance,turned by mixing desk (without David's permission, which made him angry after the fact) due to him having flu and producers fearing it could affect the performance.
I think this performance was even better that the studio recording. Perhaps it's because you can really hear the vocals.
LOL, it's ironic that you said that because this performance was autotuned. If you want to hear his real vocals he did the song live and unprocessed on Australian x factor.
There's no way this is a genuine reaction. This got crazy radio play when it was new. It was all over.
😂 how anyone could watch this and not be blown away is beyond me.
He's a metal/rock artist, thats why you're hearing that rasp :3
The actual reason he's able to do the rasp and fry so well is because David tore his vocal cords when he was younger. A lot of their songs, especially Down With The Sickness, are VERY taxing on the throat and cords.
She went into that in quite some detail.
Luya Yivana look at Anneliese Michel 6 demons in rock
Look at anneliese Michel 6demons in rock on UA-cam
Me: Clicks on video to hear a professional opinion about how Draiman sings
Also me: Gets irritated every time she stops the song to talk
🤣😂🤣
I absolutely loved watching your reaction to this! Your face was a picture! Hope you figured out what's going on with his chin..🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 FR
@@traceymay2269 I also hope she learned that he is Jewish, so his having snakebites is a bit unorthodox/controversial.
@Be Ri Not all Jewish people are Orthodox Jews. That would be like saying all Christian people are Catholic.
