@@TheChelseyTyler "The Sound of Silence" got a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance, and it's for your rendition on Conan.

@@JPVNG67 and it was in one little spot. So when they did the video he didn't allow them to use autotune at all. It sounds great, can't really tell the difference myself.

Same weight 3 inches shorter...I would argue you are dead inside if you truly LISTEN not hear this song and it doesn't evoke something in you. Something. It simply must or I believe ya have a problem.
On another reaction video someone who was there that night watching the Conan show said the audience was struck still mesmerized and when he stopped singing they did not stop clapping and cheering for well over 5 or 6 minutes they had to be calmed down. You should also watch the official video. The imagery is stunning.
As to the imagery video I'm with you! Watch it almost every night! Just wonderous! I love Simon & Garfunkles version....until I heard Daid Daimin. Blew me away! I'm old and can't imagine hearing this song sung any other way! Especially with the video...my first introduction about a year ago!
Not saying which is better but also check out Heart (with Jason Bonham on drums) doing a cover of “Stairway to Heaven” at the Kennedy Center Honors. The official video for “Sound of Silence” by Disturbed is so emotional when I watch and hear it! In my opinion, they’re both the best covers, along with Johnny Cash “Hurt”.
Classically trained as a Cantor! Which is why he can add that growl/rasp but it is fully supported, you can literally hear the notes under that sound, it isn’t just a scream. He is one of the top male vocalists, he is just not that well known because people do not understand the importance of Disturbed as a band.
David Draiman...one of the best male vocalist's on the planet! Can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor to awesome rasp and grit and back again on a dime!! Amazing voice control and so soulful and powerful ! His range is also to die for! He's got it ALL !! Great reaction Pete!
Disturbed's version of this song is so unbelievably powerful - it's mind blowing how powerful it is honestly. When the rage builds and you feel it.. it's just WOW
FYI. he had the flu that night.. and he was seated the whole time. Trained in his youth as a cantor. Through his career has trained on his fry with Melissa Cross. One of the best rock/metal vocalists of the last 20 years! Thanks for reacting.
He was also pissed that they turned on auto tune. Within the first minute to minute and a half you can see him give the side eye to the sound guy when he turned it on. He said in an interview that he hasn’t been that angry in years.
I grew up hearing the Simon and Garfunkel version but never really paid attention to the lyrics, it was a bit of a jolly tinkling song. The first time I heard this version I got goosebumps and really paid attention! It's a beautiful version, passionate, strong and so heartfelt.. I've watched hundreds of reactions..I still get goosebumps every single time!
Same & same! This version was the first time I listened to the words & appreciated the amazing writing of S&F. I can listen to this song over & over & have started obsessing over the reactions of others. Not one negative comment in the bunch.
@@mfar3016 exactly the same here. 2 days straight of reactions and i'm still overwhelmed each time i hear it. I love seeing the reactions of others. It really makes you feel something
I have been a huge Disturbed fan for years before they released this cover. We all knew what a great vocalist David was, but I was floored, as were you, when I heard this beautifully sung cover. To get a feel for why I was floored listen to the explicit lyric video of Down With the Sickness by Disturbed. You will not believe it is the same singer and band.
Yes, this homage to Sound of Silence is nothing like the usual Disturbed sound. They knocked it out if the park! They nailed me 3 times with this song. I pre- ordered the CD and it blew me away. Then again with the beautiful music video. 3rd time live on Conan.
I went into this song already ready to write it off. Disturbed was not allowed in my house…ask my sister who lost her CD player for a month after getting caught with it. 😂 I never much appreciated that style of music. At all. Was I ever proved SO wrong. The sound of Silence is a favorite of my fathers and he considers it absolute perfection. I didn’t realize how much that song could be enhanced by such a different approach but with so much respect for the original. Absolutely loved this.
the simon and garfunkel version was a warning to society and david said he sang this cover from a perspective of anger at society for failing to heed the warning from the original song... paul simon said he cried when he heard them sing this on conan then called david to tell him thanks and how much it moved him
Oh, yes! Thank you for not interrupting while he was in this song! This music is so stellar, I get chills every time I hear this. You really should watch and listen to the official music video. It is such a masterpiece!
Just so you know. David Draiman was formally trained as a Cantor (Jewish prayer leader, they sing prayers) throughout his elementary and high school years. He attended 5 different Semite boarding schools, three of which he was Expelled from.
Didn't know I could have goosebumps on top of goosebumps 😳. This rendition of the song gets to every feeling. I love it, listen to it often. Love watching the first timer responses. Glad ya enjoyed it!!
Thank you for watching. Yes, sometimes I pause my react videos, and sometimes I play them through. It just depends on my feelings and thoughts at the time.
Thank you for not pausing the video to make comments. You’re the only reactor that I’ve watched who listened in it’s entirety. David Draiman is my new favorite vocalist! I’ve listened to this song dozens of times and get goosebumps each time!
More than just his voice, the craftsmanship is great. There's a lot of restraint. The way he says "songs", both here and in the studio version, is one of the purest, beautiful notes I've ever heard.
Thank you for not iinterupting the song every couple minutes. It's a beautiful song. I could listen to him sing forever. Awesome, powerful and beautiful voice. Thanks again.
I get goosebumps and Tears in my eyes EVERY TIME I hear this but when he did this SAME thing But GOES RIGHT TO MY HEART AND SOUL! GOD BLESSED THIS GUY FOR SURE! WOW! WOW! WOW!!! AMEN
I grew up listening to and loving the S&G version, but I saw this the night it was broadcast and I got goosebumps and was almost in tears by the end of the performance. I've made it a personal mission to tell as many people as I can about this version of The Sound of Silence .This performance was nominated for a Grammy and I don't know how the lost.
Not many listen to this song all the way through before giving their reactions- this was a treat. I've been binging on reaction videos of this band's performance of this and if you want another treat, watch the official video: the images used are phenomenal.
Stunning! Thank you for reacting to this song. Since you said you haven't heard The Sound of Silence before, I highly recommend watching the original by Simon and Garfunkel. This will further illustrate the brilliance of David Draiman's rendition of this classic.
I really appreciated the fact that you didn't interrupt the song like so many others have when judging this song, Disturbed are the best band on the Planet, David Draiman is a god
Internet myth. That was Trent Reznor to Johnny Cash after his version or 'Hurt'. Paul Simon said it was amazing and shared it on his own social media - nothing more, nothing less.
@@inquisitorMence You are surely correct in what you said, however, everyone who has ever listened to this version entirely captured the meaning and emotion of the time and made it ever more relevant. The fact that Paul Simon didn’t say it was far superior to their version shows his arrogance and ego. Imo of course... and seemingly everyone else on the planet 😆
@@insearchofthetruth2843 Well, I know a few people that either vastly prefer the original or simply don't like this version at all, so I think you're letting your personal perspective get the better of you.
David had a terrible cold that night but he insisted on going through with it. If you haven't seen the official video, treat yourself to gorgeous black and white images that go perfectly with the lyrics.
Watching you at the start showing your goosebumps... I said to myself "Oh, he has no idea what's coming!" It's such a visceral performance that the first time you hear it you have no way to prepare. All done live while sick. Phenomenal. Seeing you get so emotionally latched into it so quickly was wonderful.
Your facial reactions say it all !!! This is an amazing cover of a brilliant song, 1st done by Simon & Garfunkel warning us, if we don't change our ways we are headed for destruction, and Disturbs version is angry, because we didn’t listen to the warnings... 😌 I always feel this song is like a rollercoaster ride, slowly brings you to the top, then crashing to the bottom.....Great reaction, & I still get goosebumps, & I have heard this over at least a hundred times!!!
I can’t get enough of this song! Then I watched so many reactions focusing on the reactors face and you know the moment in which they got soul touched just like me. You would have to be soul dead not to feel it!
I see others have mentioned that he was sick that night. You have to watch the original video version.... he's so powerful. And with the vision of the video it is even more elevated
I agree. Everyone needs to see the official video to get the full impact of not only David's vocals but the power of the images in the video. Love this version just as much as I loved the original by S&G back in the 60's. :)
I heard somewhere, and I'm not sure how true this is, that Paul Simon heard this version and liked it so much that he essentially said "it's your song now"
Unfortunately society has been worshipping the neon god for too long. Considering how much money is cycled through it, we couldn't do much and still have society be the way it is.
There is a haunting beauty to davids voice when he wants there to be. This was so different from what he and his band usually do that he didn't even know if his band mates would be on board. Thankfully they were or we would have been deprived of this beautiful cover of an already deeply meaningful song.
I can’t believe that you hadn’t heard the original by Simon and Garfunkel. Maybe I’m just old. LOL. I love this version of the song. They were such a high pitched singer and he takes it to the dungeon. Hauntingly beautiful!!!
I’ve been listening to other critics and yours was the best. I loved that you didn’t stop and critiqued but let the song play out. Yes, I can’t stop listening to them. I shied away because I thought it was going to be Metal!
Thank you for your beautiful comment Rose. Much appreciated. Thank you for watching. UA-cam penalise or at Time's block the video if I don't stop the video. That's why a lot of my other videos and everyone else have to stops in the video.
what shocks most people is that he was fairly ill when he did this live ... he had a flu ! ... he still managed to pull it off .. the film clip "non live" version is stil my fav .... he reaches in so much deeper and uses his sublime control and articulation of voice to an extreme .... hes very special in the voice and control that he has and will be one of the names forever more along side only a hand full of others with such tallents
i could listen to him singing this song over and over. and thanks bout time someone listened to a song all the way through and didnt pause. so we get to enjoy it all. thanks you
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.
WOW.... the first word people say at the end of this song when they hear it for the first time... I only like and subscribe if I hear it and I have subbed to almost 99% of them lol... you were close (Woah) but close enough so I subbed... Great honest reaction. Great cover with a voice on loan from God... Disturbed has matured into what you will find is an exceptional group... enjoy as I enjoyed ...
Your’s is so far my favorite reaction & u gave respect, letting it play straight thru!!! The singing is so amazing, I wouldn’t b able to refrain stopping to comment… so thank u for that!!! His voice is like butter to my ears ( no pun ) & equally the lyrics, which I barely never noticed, takes you on a journey!!!! Kudos to Paul Simon 4 these amazing words… I cried the first time I heard this song. Blessing from the 🇺🇸 US
Such a nice breath of fresh air. A reactor that allows the art and artist to really shine. I've seen way too many reactors who think the goal is to upstage the original artist. Almost every time if we viewers are watching a reaction to a singer... we already freaking know the brilliance that's there! We didn't come to see a 4th year violin student tell us what Heifitz did and didn't get right in one of his performances. (I'm not saying you're the equivalent of that 4th year violin student, but a LOT of reactors are.) If I'm sitting with a friend watching a beautiful sunset... the sunset IS even better if I know my friend is savoring it as much as I am. It's WONDERFUL to enjoy something together.... but if my friend starts giving me a breakdown analysis of the subtle shift in tone from reds to rose's to amber and the dynamic impact of a streak of dark clouds... well I'm probably going to tell her or him, "With all due respect... shut the f¥çk up! Your clumsy, pedantic breakdown is like someone who just came in from the barn with shite all over their boots and starts walking around on my cream colored floor to show me what contrast is all about." For students of music, whether amateur or professional, there is ABSOLUTELY the need to do a breakdown of what was so fantastic... but it should be done at the end, as you so rightly did. During the analysis, intersperse comments with a part of the video that you're referring to, no problem. Just not this p1$$1ng all over the art by constant interruptions the way almost every reactor does. The way you did it Peter was perfect! Just perfect! I have only one criticism, but it's not about you. Get a better mic or mixer, or both. Your loud notes when you were singing were way distorted & blown out. Your comments and timing of those comments were spot on, however.
Thank you very very much for taking the time to comment and give me constructive criticism. Thank you for your praise as well. Thank you for watching. Much love and greetings from Australia. Stay safe
I’ve subbed because I loved your genuine, well thought out and informative reaction BUT also because you didn’t stop the song 20 times and destroy our listening experience. 💜🤘🏿💜
Thank-you Peter Vox-for NOT interrupting at all! THAT is respect. ♥♥♥ Goose pimples every single time and I remember when Paul Simon wrote this and even my military father bought the LP. And I love watching grown men wipe tears away upon 1st listen. And Millennials (who've never had to listen to, and figure out what any lyrics mean to them). And who wrote them-and when-struggling with poetry and the message it has today. Cheers, from Toronto ☮
Thank you and much love and greetings from Melbourne Australia. I was in your beautiful country in 1993. I love Céline Dion, Nickelback and the tea party
I have watched quite of few of these Vocal Coach Reaction videos. You can see the swarm of emotions flow over all of them. This remake triggers every human emotion. Thank you for telling the story again.
Yeah ... goosebumps with hair rising and sent shivers down spine , and unashamedly tears to flow, the most emotional rendition i have heard in my 60yrs.
I'm 66 years old and grew up listening to mostly rock and absolutely love David Draiman's version of this song I had son that loved Disturbed I would listen with him I wish he could have lived to hear David sing this he would have loved it I lost him 9 years ago
I love the original, but Disturbeds version gives me chills every time I hear it.
Heavy Metal singers can't sing, they said.... David Draiman of Disturbed, "Here, hold my OHHH-WAH-AH-AH-AH!!!"
Thanks I needed that laugh
😂😂😂💀💀

I can’t believe that you hadn’t heard the original by Simon and Garfunkel. Maybe I’m just old. LOL. I love this version of the song. They were such a high pitched singer and he takes it to the dungeon. Hauntingly beautiful!!!
Course I've heard the original version. I hadn't heard the disturbed version. Much love and greetings from Melbourne Australia
I always felt live concert are a waste of money! But, this one I would love to attend!
He was very ill for this performance. He had a high fever, Amazing! I loved you let it play and then commented.
Thank you! And thank you for watching.
Amazing. Just Amazing 👍🏼❤️
I’ve been listening to other critics and yours was the best. I loved that you didn’t stop and critiqued but let the song play out. Yes, I can’t stop listening to them. I shied away because I thought it was going to be Metal!
Thank you for your beautiful comment Rose. Much appreciated. Thank you for watching. UA-cam penalise or at Time's block the video if I don't stop the video. That's why a lot of my other videos and everyone else have to stops in the video.
what shocks most people is that he was fairly ill when he did this live ... he had a flu ! ... he still managed to pull it off .. the film clip "non live" version is stil my fav .... he reaches in so much deeper and uses his sublime control and articulation of voice to an extreme .... hes very special in the voice and control that he has and will be one of the names forever more along side only a hand full of others with such tallents
Paul Simon gave his blessing to this version. Paul and Art's version was a warning, Disturbed's version is the anger of a warning not heeded.
Just thought I would share that when David sang this on Conan he had the flu and a cold yet still saying it beautifully
i could listen to him singing this song over and over. and thanks bout time someone listened to a song all the way through and didnt pause. so we get to enjoy it all. thanks you
Thank you for watching. Stay safe
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.
Greetings from Melbourne Australia
David is a classically trained musician that chose to use his instrument in heavy metal. His inturpritation of the song is musical art at its finest.
SUBSCRIBED!! THANK YOU for not interrupting the performance for analytics, and respecting the performer. THAT is a true reaction video.
Thank you. And thank you for watching
You felt it right away. Same as me. But I have been listening to Disturbed for 2 decades.
Loved it
I love watching minds being blown!!
david the best,disturbed amazing,so beautifull
WOW.... the first word people say at the end of this song when they hear it for the first time... I only like and subscribe if I hear it and I have subbed to almost 99% of them lol... you were close (Woah) but close enough so I subbed... Great honest reaction. Great cover with a voice on loan from God... Disturbed has matured into what you will find is an exceptional group... enjoy as I enjoyed ...
Thank you. And greetings from Melbourne Australia🙇🏻♂️
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
Your’s is so far my favorite reaction & u gave respect, letting it play straight thru!!!
The singing is so amazing, I wouldn’t b able to refrain stopping to comment… so thank u for that!!! His voice is like butter to my ears ( no pun ) & equally the lyrics, which I barely never noticed, takes you on a journey!!!! Kudos to Paul Simon 4 these amazing words… I cried the first time I heard this song. Blessing from the 🇺🇸 US
Thank you! And thank you for watching. Stay safe.
You are the first vocal coach to see this the way I do,I love your breakdown of the way he works his voice
Thank you. And greetings from Melbourne Australia.
This mans version makes me FEEL so much emotion within myself!!! Gives me goosebumps!!!!
Best Reaction 5 🌟
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
Such a nice breath of fresh air. A reactor that allows the art and artist to really shine. I've seen way too many reactors who think the goal is to upstage the original artist. Almost every time if we viewers are watching a reaction to a singer... we already freaking know the brilliance that's there! We didn't come to see a 4th year violin student tell us what Heifitz did and didn't get right in one of his performances. (I'm not saying you're the equivalent of that 4th year violin student, but a LOT of reactors are.) If I'm sitting with a friend watching a beautiful sunset... the sunset IS even better if I know my friend is savoring it as much as I am. It's WONDERFUL to enjoy something together.... but if my friend starts giving me a breakdown analysis of the subtle shift in tone from reds to rose's to amber and the dynamic impact of a streak of dark clouds... well I'm probably going to tell her or him, "With all due respect... shut the f¥çk up! Your clumsy, pedantic breakdown is like someone who just came in from the barn with shite all over their boots and starts walking around on my cream colored floor to show me what contrast is all about." For students of music, whether amateur or professional, there is ABSOLUTELY the need to do a breakdown of what was so fantastic... but it should be done at the end, as you so rightly did. During the analysis, intersperse comments with a part of the video that you're referring to, no problem. Just not this p1$$1ng all over the art by constant interruptions the way almost every reactor does. The way you did it Peter was perfect! Just perfect! I have only one criticism, but it's not about you. Get a better mic or mixer, or both. Your loud notes when you were singing were way distorted & blown out. Your comments and timing of those comments were spot on, however.
Thank you very very much for taking the time to comment and give me constructive criticism. Thank you for your praise as well. Thank you for watching. Much love and greetings from Australia. Stay safe
Quietly Powerful
I tear up every time I watch it, so powerful and emotional and bravo to u for playing it straight through without pausing it👏👏👏
Absolutely LOVE this version, gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it and also makes me so emotional ❤️❤️
Bravo! Glad this has finally made it down under!
Thank you and big love and greetings from Melbourne Australia
I’ve subbed because I loved your genuine, well thought out and informative reaction BUT also because you didn’t stop the song 20 times and destroy our listening experience. 💜🤘🏿💜
Absolutely agree 100000 %
🎯
great reaction to a great performance
Thank you and greetings from Melbourne Australia
My grandmother passed at 95 but she loved disturbed.. nana miss & love you.. I played this at her funeral
True rocker
Respect!
Absolutely incredible, soul intense, so moving just superberb... gripping... LOVE IT!!!!
Thank-you Peter Vox-for NOT interrupting at all! THAT is respect. ♥♥♥
Goose pimples every single time and I remember when Paul Simon wrote this and even my military father bought the LP.
And I love watching grown men wipe tears away upon 1st listen. And Millennials (who've never had to listen to, and figure out what any lyrics mean to them). And who wrote them-and when-struggling with poetry and the message it has today.
Cheers, from Toronto ☮
Thank you and much love and greetings from Melbourne Australia. I was in your beautiful country in 1993. I love Céline Dion, Nickelback and the tea party
I have watched quite of few of these Vocal Coach Reaction videos. You can see the swarm of emotions flow over all of them. This remake triggers every human emotion. Thank you for telling the story again.
Yeah ... goosebumps with hair rising and sent shivers down spine , and unashamedly tears to flow, the most emotional rendition i have heard in my 60yrs.
I'm 66 years old and grew up listening to mostly rock and absolutely love David Draiman's version of this song I had son that loved Disturbed I would listen with him I wish he could have lived to hear David sing this he would have loved it I lost him 9 years ago
My condolences. It sounds like you have great memories of your son. Hold those close to your heart. Massive love
yeah, so far i have listened to many reaction videos, FIRST one where they did NOT pause it multiple times...ty for that
You have fantastic facial expressions! This song will do that to you! Great reaction!
The video is even more moving. The symboliziation in the video was outstanding.
