I started following you as soon as you said that you were a professional music listener as I too am a professional music listener and I get so sick of the music coaches and professional singing coaches etc. saying what he did wrong. He had a 102° fever and the flu on the Conan show. I have goosebumps every time I hear the song. Paul Simon put it on his Playlist. He said that was how he meant for the song to be sung. The record company wouldn't let him because he was a folk singer. Paul said that it was better than the original. I'm a 56 year old Grandma and I have just found my favorite professional music listener. David Draimen was trained classically as a Hazen,and was training to become a cantor. I feel like saying to these professional singers, and vocal coaches who cut him down, Jealous much? Thank you for a completely enjoyable reaction. 🤘
THIS. ALL OF THIS.
I'm sorry first of all to say I didn't know there were professional music listeners. I am a 63 Yr old Grandmother and I absolutely love David Draimans voice. I stumbled across Disturbed when I was looking through You Tube. I am now a fan of the band. Amazing considering I grew up an avid Osmonds fan 😁 I completely agree with you. I have watched a lot of reactions to Sound of Silence and Disturbed version, I get chills every time I listen to them. I even said to my 4 kids (ages 30-40yrs) Why haven't I heard this before? I now have Disturbed on my playlist and it's on top of my bucket list to go see them but I don't think there's a chance of that happening now. 😁🏴
@@chrissyg3722 You never know, you may get a chance to see them someday. I'm too old to be one of yur kids, I'm 50, but I'm not surprised even an oldschool Osmonds fan loves this. I was in my 20's when Disturbed made their rise in the mus world, which would have put you in your 30's, and it's been my experience that for the most part, it's our general age group that elevated them. Keep experiencing as much as you can musically. Not all of today's music will appeal to us older generations, but much of it will if we're willing to listen ❤️ Stay wonderful ❤️
@@heatherscanlon3239 Thank you Heather. I was born in 1959 so I was a bit young for the Simon and Garfunkel version but I still remember it. It came out around the time of the Vietnam war and when President Kennedy was assassinated and I remember that too so there was a lot of things happening at that time. It's a shame to say, the song could have been written today with all that's still going on. I wasn't really into the Beatles and sixties music but then Glam rock happened. I did go on to like some rock/metal bands but Disturbed and David Draiman has definitely converted me at 63yrs 😂
LOL Chrissy, there's no such thing as a professional music listener. It's a joke or a parody of all the of the "professional ______" out there that you see reacting to songs. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter who you are or what you do, YOU are your own professional music listener. A great song doesn't need the approval of a coach or a musician, it just needs to connect with you a certain way and make you feel what you want to feel.
I don’t care who you are. If you don’t feel emotions when you hear Disturbed sing this song. Your broken. Just beautiful ❤
I have watched too many (but somehow still never enough) of the reaction videos for this song by Disturbed (live and studio versions). I have yet to see ANYONE critique it negatively. It is the closest thing to perfection that I have ever watched or listened to. BEST COVER EVER....I am a old lady that grew up listening to Simon and Garfunkel sing it. David Draiman and Disturbed made me FEEL IT!!!!
Well said
I totally agree I have yet to hear one negative comment. It is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT and this is how this song should have been presented in the 60s when it was originally released - i liked it then but so-so, but this version I think is beautiful and does the lyrics full justice, also his voice is totally suitable to showcase this amended cover, David does the song proud.
Most reactions to this are overwhelmingly positive, but the negative critiques to his voice are out there, even if they're few and far between. The internet is full of people that love to pretend they know better, and with the rise of [insert profession] reaction videos, unjust criticism does happen. Even if you haven't heard it for this performance, it applies to other spectacular performances from other artists and is why I even mentioned it in the first place.
I have seen two and they got lots of backlash.
See above.I'll be more than happy to accommodate you
I'm a 62 year old rock 🎸 chick and you're right NO ONE gets to pick this performance apart....ever ! This is going to be my final song at my funeral ...what a way to go 👹
From a 62 year old rocker in the UK most cover versions don’t do the song justice, for once this one surpasses it, best cover version ever in my humble opinion.
I’m having it at my funeral too
I'm an old school RocknRoller 70 years old and I can tell you that this performance bought tears to my eyes. Thank you for bringing this music to my attention I love Simon and Garfunkel, but, this was on another level.
Absolutely 💯 agree. A few months ago Ive never even heard of of this guy performing before. I came across this version on UA-cam and my jaw dropped ,tears formed in my eyes and literally blown away by this version by disturbed. I now since then blast it on the drive home from work. one of my fav songs off all time.I LOVE IT!!
Am I mistaken that he wasn't well at the time too,like flu or cold or something? If so HELL,I didn't notice the guy has an AMAZING voice.🙏🇬🇧
@@cliffbell3155 You are correct. He was sick when he went on Conan, but "the show must go on", and he did this fabulous performance while suffering from a bad case of influenza.
Paul Simon loves this version also . He congratulated the group on the brilliance of this cover, which went places Simon and Garfunkel didn't take it.
@@heidicross7255 All I can say is just..."WOW"
I just turned 71 and this is one of my new favorites 🔥👵🏼☮️❤️
I have watched many reaction videos of this song. People had goosebumps, some were speechless, some had tears. No negativity that I have seen. Best cover EVER!! You can't ignore the lyrics when David Draiman sings this
David and Disturbed gave everyone a master class in performance, arrangement, and production.
No quite everyone.
I've never heard a cover of a song that I thought was as good as or better than the original until Disturbed done this song...absolutely phenomenal job 🔥❤🔥
You might be surprised. Tesla's Signs was much better than the origional.
@@daviddow8150 oh yes it was...I completely forgot about that...I haven't heard that song in years!!
Nightwish did an impressive version of Pink Floyd's High Hopes
Listen to Pentatonix. They cover many songs and they are as good or better than the originals. Megan Trainor NO and Loutdes Royals come to mind....
@@MariaGolay I have...I love Pentatonix..especially Mitch
I think I've watched live and original over 1,000 times. Brings tears every time.
I guess I’m not alone… 😂
I’m a 76 year old grandma and I do not like metal or Grunge music but I absolutely love this song. David brought a 70’s classic into modern times without ruining it. I have since listened to more of this bands work and I must say “ they are not too bad all around.
Who cares your age! You love what you love. I love older people. Always have. You aren’t much older than me. I’m 56.
This is an example of a "sit back, be quiet and just enjoy the ear-gasm" kinda song. I actually prefer the performance on Conan to their studio version. It just "feels" more. 🔥🔥🔥
YES.
Agree 100%. You just have to listen to it with your eyes closed and listen to a perfect rendition of such an emotion raising song.
I just read on another reaction video a phrase that truly epitomises Disturbed's performance of this song - 'Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning and Disturbed's version was the fury of not heading that warning.'
David draws you into the emotion of the song with his warm and almost angelic start and then you feel the frustration build as it ramps up. You then get the full fury with his powerful rasp before he sort of thanks you for listening with his final 'Sounds of silence'
I feel the emotion everytime I listen to this song and have tears everytime. Knowing he was unwell in this live version as well just adds to the brilliance of the performance.
Exactly yeah
THANK YOU for NOT stopping this video. I agree. This could not have been done any better❤
Dave Draiman has a classically trained voice , and it is obvious when you hear the perfect pitch, and tone of his voice. This is one of the best live performances ever!
This is literal perfection
Nice to hear someone that listens to the whole video
He sang that beautifully idk why anyone would think he did a bad job.
no one did think so! :D
that is the studio version they are refering to! not the live one
I preferred the official video. Both were amazing
I just heard this and of them for the first time, last night.
I've listened to this song at least 10 times since and its just I can't even describe it.
It grabs your soul and heart like few things I've heard. What a voice. A gift. I'm grateful he's been able to share it with the rest of us. They did a great song a great service.
David is one of very few singers who can pull off this type of cover of such a classic song!
I never get sick on hearing this and see reastions. This is so close to perfection, even Simon and Garfunkel said after hearing this version that it was't their song anymore. Said that David found feelings and depth they did't 🙌🏼🙌🏼
David Draiman is beyond talented. He makes you feel the song and the meaning of it in the depths of your soul. I have watched it over and over and every single time I am so moved by it! That is what music should do! Simply amazing! ❤
I, too, am a grandmother, 75, and hate metal and Grunge but this man is absolutely amazing the way he has control of his voice and his body language make me FEEL his message. I always liked the Simon and Garfunkel recording but, David Draian brought it to life!
Every time i hear this song it gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes. I love David's voice ❤❤❤❤❤ You are so right - this song can NOT be critiqued
This has to be one of the best covers of ALL time!!
Once in awhile, but rarely does a song and performance simply blow your mind. This is a perfect example of that.
I'm 61 years young from Germany and I love Disturbed. I didn't know that David Draimans was rated negatively and that he had a fever on the show, so I think his performance is brilliant. Such a soft, clear, emotional voice is very, very rarely found. No idea why they have negative react, but it can't be an understanding of music😉
Love your reaction! 💗100% agree
I am an old guy who lived and loved the original. I saw these videos a while ago, and to be honest I refused to give any of them a try since I felt the original had to be the best. It was really in my heart and mind.
And then one day while watching a series called the Blacklist, there was a scene in a car and this song was playing. I followed the credits to get the name of the band. The song really moved me. Then I found the Conan version and I was totally blown away. I had forgotten how exciting and wonderful new music could make me feel.
I can tell you what I was doing when I heard the original. It takes me way back to a time in my life. But the Disturbed version captures the same emotions. It is powerful! Unbelievable. I felt like a kid again. Thank you Disturbed!!
This song is perfection. I am a grandma and grew up with the original and I prefer this version. David Draiman is an angel. I even like the "regular " Disturbed music.
I’m old enough to have loved the original. I have lived long enough to FEEL David Draiman and Disturbed’s version. There’s only one other cover that I can think of that compares to this, and that’s Whitney’s cover of “I Will Always Love You”. As technically perfect as Whitney sings, Draiman’s hits like a gut punch. I’ve listened to him sing this song at least 150 times. Still brings tears and goose bumps. I would love to know how it feels to affect millions of people like he has done.
I liked the original too but I never went back to listen to it over and over again like this version draws me to do.
"It takes no talent to criticize." 👍🏻 I can't hear this song without tearing up, more and more, as the song grows... and I'm completely sobbing by the end. Too close to home...
ALL OF THIS 💯
Best version of a cover song EVER! Someone had said he was sick with a cold and sore throat doing this show which makes it even more amazing.
David Draiman was actually very ill and fighting a 102 fever when this performance was taped. Just shows the power of his voice.
Not gonna lie, I'm a 48 year old man and first time I heard this version I was on my knees in tears.
Glad I'm not the only one. Every time I hear him sing this, like now, tears uncontrollably stream down my face. Don't know what it is about his voice in this song.
Absolutely. The first time that I heard it was from a video made in Standing Rock North Dakota when the government was trying to put a pipeline through the sacred burial grounds on the Reservation. Morton County Police militarized themselves and shot everyone including the Elders with rubber bullets and threw sound grenades, one blew the arm off of a peaceful protesters. They put up razor wire and sprayed the peaceful protesters with water cannons in -17° weather.
Check out Disturbed Sound of Silence Standing Rock. It's very graphic. They ran the pipeline through anyway only to have it leak 176,000 gallons of crude oil into a creek and into the water table of the Standing Rock Reservation.
A professional singer who did a reaction to it. She noticed at the first lyrics that he was sick.
🤟
@@roseannamanues2111 which reaction is that, do you remember?
I wouldn't call my self a pro listener, but i must say that his performance not only gives me goosebumbs, but tears me up. And that doesn't happen often.
That is why I love David DRAIMAN, his mastery of his voice like listening to a Stradivarius being played perfectly. And he's a really good man who genuinely cares about people and the world we live in
you are so right..........this performance came from the soul...David is a master
Exactly I feel every time I hear it.....From deep inside me.....
For me he is perfection as is his backing lighting his diction And that one sung word more just melted me
I TOTALLY AGREE. DAVID DRAIMAN IN THIS SONG IS TOTALLY EPIC EPIC EPIC. HE TAKES THIS SONG TO A WHOLE TOTAL NEW LEVEL AND MAKE THIS SONG SO PURE, AND MAKES IT WAY WAY BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. THIS MAN IS SO FREAKING EPIC EPIC EPIC. YOU NEED TO TRY THE OFFICIAL VIDEO BECAUSE I AM TRANSFIXED BY THE VIDEO AS WELL AS HIS FACE AND VOICE. I KEEP GETTING GOOSEBUMPS NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE HEARD THIS SONG.
I never heard or listened to any of this mans music before. About knocked me over. Simon and garfinkal would have been proud of his rendition of their song. Just amazing vocal. He is really great with it. Just as good if not better than the original.
When first listening to this song, it brought tears to my eyes.
I worked there show in 2003. The man is a special person to talk to. Down With The Sickness
The way he sings this song.....brings tears to my eyes every time!!! Absolutely life changing. ❤️
No stops you talked with your face THE BEST!!!
Paul Simon, upon hearing Draiman told him it was the best version of his song he had ever heard and that the song now belongs to Disturbed. I so agree!
I was in my teens when the original came out & it WAS brilliant but David takes it to another level entirely & even Paul Simon thinks it should now be theirs, it's that good. David gives the words their full meaning with his interpretation & it's no wonder so many people get goosebumps & tears in their eyes when they hear it. This is THE best version ever made, bar none!
Voice cracked? It was bloody amazing! And apparently he was performing on Conan while suffering with a 102-degree fever. Loved it!!! It was spectacular!
His technics is absolute period..😍😍
I just remember being so happy to hear this angelic side to his vocals when I grew up listening to him sing so heavy. You can really hear the church (or synagogue in this case) in his voice.
Just found your reaction to Disturbed, You are one of the very few who did not pause it every farts end to give their....oh, so important...reaction to each and every decibel and note, not to mention every expression and piano chord. You listened to the whole song...THEN gave your reaction. Love you for this. Love this song by Disturbed. Now pressing the subscribe button. xxx
Yes correct! David was sick at the time.. Amazing cover!
2 music performances that I will listen to over and over again...Conan version of Sound of Silence by Disturbed and the Queen Live Aid performance, Iconic live performanances!!!
At LEAST once a month...if not more...when everyday things start worrying me... I play this song... to calm myself......It reminds me that Gods in Control & that everythings going to be ok....
He was terribly ill with the flu before this performance also and it's likely the best performance of this song he ever did. It's so absolutely beautiful.
Дэвид Дрейман мой любимый исполнитель слушаю его еще с 2007 года. И люблю его не просто, потому, что талантлив и является обладателем шикарного вокала. Я просто понимаю сколько человек вложил сил, эмоций, колоссального труда в себя и свою группу Disturbed.
I’ll agree even though I don’t know wtf you said! Lol
I was in awe of this performance and the absolute tone of his voice. As with all the other commenters, I cried hearing this song being done the way I believe it should have been but couldn't be at the time by Simon and Garfunkel. I would love to see more reactions. I would like to recommend Home Free's cover of a Crosby, Stills and Nash song.....Helplessly Hoping. I am curious to see if you even post it, based on what your criteria are. Thank you for this.
I have watched signs of reaction videos by a wide variety of people, from everyday folks to professionals in the music industry, and I've never seen anyone dislike this, or criticize it. Everyone I've ever seen so far has loved it.
most do!
I have seen 2 reactions, which claims that he used a popular voice changing software (dont remember the name).
For me it is a excellent cover of the S&G song. I like both versions,. But this one goives me more goosebumps :)
David was also fighting a head cold during that performance. That's a solid testament of his vocal training.
Finally able to watch this one. A great song and great band. To those who critique David's voice when it falters or studders, people forget he has an injury in his throat. I do not recall it exactly, but in an interview he mentioned they had to heal it with tissue and that it was a once over. There's no way to heal it again if it tears.
So David doing what he does with his brothers is, admirable and amazing enough. Like Max said, who are we to critique when we can't hold a note. Just enjoy it for what it is. Beautiful.
David asked the band members how they wanted to do this cover they all said in a stripped-down version Paul Simon said when he heard this cover is the best cover he's ever heard of The sound of David nail this cover
I'd rather hear the review from a professional music listener over ANY vocal coach, or anyone who dares rip apart perfection.
Thank you for telling the TRUTH!
Max, I realize that you can pick the small things that make THAT song/music SO special! It's a solar system apart from the original recording or any other double that was made of it
It’s magical & magnificent. A perfect example of how music can move you
I learned a lot about how he sang this song by watching videos from singing coaches, some more than others of course. I knew nothing about music notes, how he uses his vocal cords, chest, nose, tongue; how you pronounce verbs and nouns in songs but I know more now. I have only seen one so called singer give him a bad review and that was because she was stuck on the original Simon and Garfunkle version. Obviously there was some prejudice but overall a singer and song who have 900 million views on UA-cam produced something that is genius.
I have heard others' reactions to this song and it drives me crazy when they stop and comment or rewind to the beginning. Thank you for listening to the whole performance and then commenting on it.
Absolutely love this rendition what an amazing performance.
Your the best reactor of this video ever. You didnt stop and start all the way through like some of them do. This is the most beautiful rendition of this. Even better than the original. Thankyou.
David was actually sick when he preformed this. He was congested with a 103⁰ temperature. That's why he is seated. Knowing this gives me even more respect for his showmanship and unprecedented talent.
There's no question that's the best sounding song.
ROCK ON!!!!! You are 100% correct. Ya' can't critique THIS!!!! You are the ONLY person I have seen say this. I have seen persons who have criticized this performance. Only GOD can wreck this guy...... and God has blessed David Draiman. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU AND FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL REACTION!!!
He has a BEAUTIFUL VOICE.
Awe. Your eyes got emotional there. We love David. ❤️❤️🇨🇦
Mate 60 plus yr old who loves talent! cking amazing song and your the first to pull up those who have NO talent and react honestly!!!!!’will be following daily!
Cheers mate
Agreed!
I'm going to call this cover Flawless. Great reaction.
It raises the hair on my arms and grabs my soul. How talented is he? He was actually sick while singing on Conan...that is a true professional!!
He is and the musicians are the memory makers. Beautiful every single time I listen to them!
Your absolutely correct….it’s perfection
Brilliant! ‘Ya don’t get to critique THIS!’ Brilliant!
I love the effects trail off at the end. Musically the end sounds like a Christmas song.
Thank you for listening instead of interrupting the song with their words! David Draiman has a voice for the ages. He is a vocal magician.
I grew up in a house where music was played almost constantly. Music is in my Soul. And this performance is one that I will watch over and over, and it hits me every single time. This is absolutely a jaw-dropping performance. Absolutely beautiful.
It was perfection , word is he had 102 fever during this Conan show.
It's Perfection.................................
Thank you for putting poeple who only 'critique' others to be negativ but couldn't bring anything to the table themselves in their place.
So since I am at least 20 years your senior and have been listening to music and totally immersing myself in it makes me a Professional.. Wow Who Knew
Great reaction just the joy and admiration in face was golden I'm 51 years old I have been obsessed with music as long as I can remember this live performance is a masterpiece I like to see you react to Jinjer Pisces live studio recording if you haven't seen it you should really check it out blew my mind I love
David is a trained Cantor in the religious community, His control is what makes his command so intense. It's a gift!
I LOVE❤ your reaction and I agree wholeheartedly, you are the first reactor that has said this THANK YOU!!!!!
What I love about this version is how the drums come in sooner. Cause of how I have trouble sleeping cause of my medications. I listen to this song on loop and it helps me go to sleep.
I wonder what Simon and Garfunkel think of this version of their song? Every time I watch this live version I get chills. His vocal range is amazing, raw and sweet. Powerful and soft. I love it!
I think this is the best reaction I have ever seen. Anyone who stops this part way through to say something is grotesque. There is no vocal reaction to this, it is all physical. It is cold chills , it is goosebumps , it is pure close your eye & breath it in as you listen. It is pure joy. It does not need the spoken word to give your reaction.💓
Their version of this song gave it a whole new meaning for me. It is exquisite, deep, and perfect. Listen to their performance with James Kennedy singing the harmony. 🤌
Absolutely the Best cover ever!!! And I hate covers!! David owned this!! And had Paul’s blessing!!
Simply just a MASTERPIECE ❤
He also was supposedly sick during this performance as well. Makes it that much more impressive.
Thank you for your closing statement on this generational song. It's been years since Disturbed performed this song on Conan and I still get goosebumps whenever I see this performance (the extra bonus is being able to enjoy people's reactions to it).
Keep up the great work!
LOVE that you didn't interrupt the video with your reactions. ❤
Spot on my friend. Just recognise genius and appreciate it. Thank you for your reaction.
Saw them do this song live in a small venue in Memphis called the Omni New Daisy. It was almost a religious experience.
