      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.

    THIS is Goosebumps Music. David Draiman is a classically trained singer, he is capable of much more that just raspy heavy metal.
    And we can hear it here, it is so beautiful and haunting. When Paul Simon watched that live version in the Conan Show, he really loved it. 150 M views !
    One comment reads: "One of the best live performances ever in TV history." Well, imo actually one of the BEST covers of ANY song EVER.

    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 * 💋

    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

    Seen them live a couple of times during the first few years of Ozzfest. They were phenomenal. They do a couple of other covers from some 80’s hits. One of my favorite originals is Conflict. It’s definitely the metal you would expect from Disturbed. They also have random concert videos where he talks to the crowd and has let them on stage. I highly recommend you check those out as well.

    • @ReactADHD
      @ReactADHD  2 дні тому

    I love Simon and Garfunkel! Art has the most angelic voice and I love the original! However I think I love this more! His voice is amazing and I only heard of Disturbed about 18 months ago when I saw someone react to it! I was gobsmacked! 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! I think she was 72 or 73 at the time and she still sounds great! Loving your reactions! ❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

    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."

    • @ReactADHD

      Thank you for sharing this insight! It’s always interesting to hear the backstory behind the music.
