      Simon and Garfunkel's version tugs at different emotions, but is still very relevant... People are just wound up so much tighter today than back in 1965...We were really just starting to get a taste of how much the elitists hate us...By now, we've been screwed every which way that we are numb to the outrageous, which is why I believe Disturbed's cover of this song is more "today"...

      I feel nearly the same way as you except my father is soon to be 77, my mother would have been 72 may she rest in peace, and I'm going on 42. However, I have loved this song since the early to mid 80s... (84-88) since I was about 3-8 years old... Simon & Garfunkels harmonies as well as their talent on the guitar were so beautiful. I've heard others cover this song and fell short. I was already familiar with David from Disturbed's early days with their hits Down With the Sickness and Stupify and knew of them as being close to the genre of Heavy Metal, but when I heard him Sing this Song for the first time, I was in awe. Later on I found out that he personally took Opera lessons to help train his vocals to be able to sign with anger as opposed to scream without focus to not damage his vocal cords. And when I went back and listen to him sing it live, I seen the truth in it and for me, he Owns this Song. Not as in the art of writing and creating it, but as in the Execution of It. This is how the song was meant to be done! I love both versions equally, yet I find his version to be the better of the two and that's saying a lot because the original version was already a masterpiece to begin with. Oh and David was sick when he performed this, and he refused "auto tune"!

      You are mistaken or trolling. Either way, I found this for you:
      “In an interview with Terry Gross of National Public Radio (NPR), Paul Simon explained how he wrote the song while working at his first job in music: "It was just when I was coming out of college. My job was to take the songs that this huge publishing company owned and go around to record companies and see if any of their artists wanted to record the songs. I worked for them for about six months and never got a song placed, but I did give them a couple of my songs because I felt so guilty about taking their money. Then I got into an argument with them and said, 'Look, I quit, and I'm not giving you my new song.' And the song that I had just written was 'The Sound of Silence.' I thought, 'I'll just publish it myself,' and from that point on I owned my own songs, so that was a lucky argument.
      I think about songs that it's not just what the words say but what the melody says and what the sound says. My thinking is that if you don't have the right melody, it really doesn't matter what you have to say, people don't hear it. They only are available to hear when the sound entrances and makes people open to the thought. Really the key to 'The Sound of Silence' is the simplicity of the melody and the words, which are youthful alienation. It's a young lyric, but not bad for a 21-year-old. It's not a sophisticated thought, but a thought that I gathered from some college reading material or something. It wasn't something that I was experiencing at some deep, profound level - nobody's listening to me, nobody's listening to anyone - it was a post-adolescent angst, but it had some level of truth to it and it resonated with millions of people. Largely because it had a simple and singable melody."

    I loved this song from Simon & Garfunkel since I was a young kid in the 80's. I've heard others trying to cover this song and they failed in comparison to the original. When I first heard David Draiman sing this, I was floored and in awe! I was already familiar with his band's early days with their hits Down With the Sickness and Stupify. When I heard him sing this, I knew him as a heavy metal artist but never knew how well he could really sing, and his talent is unbelievable. From that moment on, I still love the original as it's one of my all time favorite songs, I fell in love with his rendition to the point that I agree with Simon when he told Draimin you now basically Own This Song!!! His emotions through his voice is how the song was meant to be. This is saying a lot for Simon & Garfunkel were so good that to go a level beyond them is not an easy feat. I love this song, I love the original, and I definitely love this version just as much as I love the fact that you guys reacted to it. Nothing but love to the fam!!!

    This version was amazing and beautiful. What's more amazing is that he had the flu when he did this performance. Imagine (if possible) how it would of been different if he wasn't sick. I can hardly fathom! I'm glad you decided to do this live version! ^.^ If you'd like another song of Disturbed's that is beautiful, yet has the rock feel to it too try " A Reason To Fight "
    You get the best of both worlds, 😀

    Yeah, I think that Disturbed definitely put their own music in this version of the song. It gives it a dark and rich sound to it, which is the way I would describe Disturbed's music. It also might be worth checking out Simon and Garfunkel's original song, you might be able to hear the difference between the original and the cover. Great reaction and after I listen to Disturbed sometimes I have to just take a deep breath because their music is awesome, but sometimes you just need a break haha. Hope y'all are having a great week!

    Yep, when it comes to Davids vocals, definitely look up his other band "Device". Its what he did while Disturbed was taking a rest for a bit some years back. He did a different style of work in Device since it was so different a style, kept it seperate the reputation of Disturbed. But I feel he really tuned into vocals more so in Device durring that time. Hed duo with other major vocalists together in Device tracks. Very unique.

    Given, this cover stands with Hearts cover of "Stairway to heaven" at the Kennedy Center Honors to Led Zeppelin as the greatest covers I personally have ever had the pleasure to watch! Period. As powerful as this performance is, it completely loses the intended message of the original and definitive version (the assassination of JFK). Simon and Garfunkel will not blow you away with their vocals (unless you are blown away by grace, and solemnity of a generation being stripped of it's vary sole). The instrumentation is devoid of bombast. In short it comes nowhere near this epic submission. Yet in light of all I just said. It is the perfect, timeless, version that should never fade from view! Great reaction guys, thumbs up.

    They actually do a lot of covers: "Shout" by Tears for Fears, "Living After Midnight" by Judas Priest, and several others. But yes, David's voice is second to none. And this cover IS better, the Simon and Garfunkel is a version you hear, this one you FEEL!

    I heard Paul Simon talk about this song. He would get these ideas in dreams. And then sit in the dark in the bathroom to just channel the song it would just pour out of this Vision place. So when he says hello darkness my old friend that's this meditative place he would go in the bathroom in the dark. Fascinating. Paul Simon is such a great Lyricist and musician he's a quirky dude though, as most creative people are

    The video was a absolutely a visual and aural masterpiece , and the live Conan performance shows how his voice is amazing, and there wasn’t any “fudging around “ with his voice.

    Nothing but respect for Paul Simon for his lyrical genius as the writer of this song. But i do believe disturbed took the more dry delivery Simon and Garfunkel had with this song and made it drip with emotion. The emotion David put in this song honestly should've been there from the start.

    I am not a connoisseur of music like you, I have seen other music critics and the truth is that the reactions to this voice have been more than great. I think that from time to time a voice as prodigious as this appears and impacts us all whatever type of music you listen to. It's really cool I don't know what to say...
