      That's the best cover hands down but Johnny Cash's cover of 'Hurt' is a close second. It is so good Trent Reznor the original singer/song writer admitted it was better. Well worth checking out if you get time. And I've watched literally hundreds of people reacting to Ren and you are my absolutely my favorite. What a gift you are. ♥

      Trent said it's not his song any more after Cash's version. Trent said it's now Cash's song!
      I thought that was fabulous, as is the cover. Considering what it was wrote about and then the way the Johnny Cash version is done, giving it a whole new meaning.

    Your reaction was amazing! I felt your energy, and I felt like I just left the gym!🤣😂🤣😆
    Great reaction! S&G's version was a warning that we are growing apart due, in part, to technology and that we need to learn to communicate our feelings and stop relying on material things to appease us. Wake up! Disturb's version is basically rage that we didn’t heed the warning in the 60's and now, 60 years later, we are even more attached to our "neon gods" internet, texts, emails, buried in our cell phones and communicate even more poorly than during the 60's with the civil unrest and the Vietnam war. Television, back then, was the 'neon god' that everyone paid attention to and paid less attention to humanity😢. We just don't get it! I'm 63 and, admittedly, never realized the meaning of the song, but David's delivery of the message really drove it home! I get it and I hope we all can wake up in time!
    Feelings and emotions are conveyed through music. In the video, the musicians on the left bring their instruments across the channel to the people with the sheet music on the right. A nice metaphor for the message that S&G were trying to convey. In the video, we don't see the boat meet up with the musicians, but, maybe, someday we will!😢 Thank you for sharing your reaction😊❤!

I am old and I grew up on Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Heart etc… Something I would love to see you react to was a collaboration between Disturbed and Ann Wilson of Heart called “Don’t Tell Me” the video came out about 9-10 months ago and it is amazing!

    Supposedly, the producers did use auto tune in two places against his will before they aired the show, because he was sick. David was PISSED. That's lore that I've picked up along the way. No idea if it's true.

    That little bit of worble you heard was because on that day he was fighting the flu. He decided to go on but was very sick that day.

    Disturbed is one of my favorite groups and David Draiman is a top tier vocalist! I never cared for the Simon and Garfunkel original because it is completely not my style of music, and I heard it as a child as part of my parents' music. After hearing this version, I truly listened to the lyrics and was stunned! One of my favorite songs ever, but I consider this version to be Disturbed's song, not a cover. It means a ton to me and I love to watch other people discover this for the first time! And the video is spectacular! David was sick during his live Conan performance, btw. Had a cold/flu and STILL crushed it! (I want my funeral song to be a different Disturbed song ... "Hold On To The Memories." Another softer song than their usual, but soooo beautiful.) If you're a hard rock/metal fan, check out some of their catalog. Maybe "The Night."

      Disturbed definitely owns that song now! It's like they took Simon and Garfunkel's original and gave it a much-needed makeover-like turning a cozy sweater into a leather jacket!

    The base live on Conan is probably lower as David was sick, which I can hear a bit in his lower notes and vibrato

  • @tundiel

    This version is dark and foreboding (which is right up my street 😊). Others have mentioned the acappela group Pentatonix. They do a more hopeful version of this that you should check out. Pentatonix is a wjole other rabbit hole you could explore, with plenty of covers and originals in their backlist. You'll need to add filters and pause a few times to get their videos through, though.
    But! Back to this one, the video is awesome, but the live is * chef's kiss * 💋

    • @ReactADHD
      @ReactADHD  22 дні тому +1

      Thank you for the thoughtful comment! I appreciate you sharing the suggestion for Pentatonix. It's always great to explore new music, and I love that you found the live performance to be a highlight!

    Paul Simon Loved this Version so much that he put it on his playlist. Also, David Does NOT use AUTO Tune. They Tried to use it during rehearsal ( He was a little under the weather) Well That did Fly With David. So again No Auto Tune. By the way, I just liked and Subscribed. ✌

    I completely agree with you; it is the best cover. To say this about one of the most beautifully written songs is saying a lot. He has certainly taken it to another level, much more intense and dramatic than the legendary "Simon and Garfunkel". The deep voice and scraped heavy metal, they are anthological.
    There is a very interesting a cappella version of "Pentatonix".
    My list of singers and bands would be endless, but I see that you are well advised on this magical journey.
    Thanks for your reaction.

  • @piplevett4783

    Yes, again because he was so sick, they opted to use a little autotune, although David denies it. For me it doesnt take away from his ability.
    My favourite story about this performance is that while he was singing, the crowd was absolutely silent, and the entire crew back stage stopped what they were doing to come out and watch - both of these were firsts for the Conan show

    By the way, David wasn't in good shape when he was singing at the Conan Show. He was still a little sick.

  • @Onewayoflife75
    @Onewayoflife75 21 день тому +2

    No auto tune, he was really sick and Dr told him not to sing.. but he didn’t want to miss this. I think he had surgery on his vocal cords not long after… I may be wrong but thought I read that on other comments.
