102° fever, sick with the flu and he’s seated because he almost passed out earlier; somehow he powered though it all to give us a nuanced performance that spans so many emotions before the rage-filled crescendo that so profoundly speaks to the current state of our sickening cognitive dissonance and ends on a note of despair. I absolutely love this, and I understand the audience was dead silent until the final note at which point he received about a 10-minute standing ovation. Masterful. 💙
Great comment. 👍🏻
he also said he had problems with his vocal cords back then, had a surgery recently.
David is just amazing. I still say he is one of the best singers around today!
I know they used auto tune, which he was pissed off about, but I wish he did it this the exact same way on the single. He goes more intense with the growl in this performance
Fantastic comment, couldn't agree more.
Today is the first time I ever heard this song covered like that. I’m in shock… been hearing it in a loop for 4 hours 😂
Seems aboot rite.... 🤙🏼
I heard it about a year ago and play it at least a dozen times a day. Excellence can never be boring.
Yep. This is a rabbit hole that once you get into it, you can’t get out😂😂
3 years here in june
They made it their own
Have watched it DOZENS of times. Still gives me goosebumps
same, epic singer. so much control. clean when he wants and distorted with emotion when he wants.
Best part about this, is knowing that Dave was sick and getting over a cold/flu leading up to this singing. Hence the nasaly tone you hear. Incredible he sang this good, with sick voice XD
Every. Time.
Same
YEP!!!
I never tire of this performance, I never tire of watching people react to this performance. Unquestionably one of the best covers out there, it truly reimagines the original.
He is a trained cantor. And he was sick during this performance. The man is amazing.
I swear, your reaction is pure gold. Such a joy to see somebody else feel the music
Thank you, Jason! I’m glad you enjoyed.
@@JohnHennyVocalStudio loved your input on this much love xxx
I watch this reaction as much as I watch the Conan live version every thing this coach says I think ❤
Your face matches mine when listening to this
@@JohnHennyVocalStudio I have to concur with Jason. It's such a joy to see someone genuinely appreciate a song. I've seen comments on other reaction videos that said something to the effect that Simon & Garfunkel's version was the warning. Disturb's version is the wrath that comes from failing to heed that warning. Generally speaking when someone re-records a song, it's called a "cover" or a "remake". This is neither. It can only be described as an experience.
Every time I hear this, I am just so impressed by how (after all that intense gravel in the final verse) he closes out by going back to the glorious soaring clear high tones again. The ultimate in control. Gives me goosebumps every time.
He is classically trained to be able to do what he does. I’ll bet his teacher is extremely proud of the man/singer he has become.
Some have said the original version was a warning. This version is the response to the warning being ignored. It is one of the best performances of all time. Watching you react to it emotionally rather than analytically is the most pleasurable part of your presentation. His voice is so powerful it knocked your camera out of focus 😆
Yaaas! We didn't heed the warning, he's begging, beseeching us now, can't you see it? 😢
And again I find myself down a rabbit hole of watching reactions to this absolutely incredible performance by David Draiman and the band. Simply stunned every time I hear this song.
Great reaction! I read that David Draiman was actually sick during this performance, but he still went on and fought through it like a trooper.
He was! He had a severe case of the flu (it was before covid), high fever, etc., was so weak he agreed to sit for the performance. He's not a "sitting down" kind of singer.
there was another vocal teacher that pointed out in her analysis of the beginning verse that she thought he might be sick or have something going on with his throat.
@kevinnagle2956 it was Maggie
He also insisted they minimize the use of autotune in this performance
Would it be fair to say he's "down with the sickness?"
Found this a few years ago and have now watched it hundreds of times. My favorites are the reactions of people who truly know vocals as the instruments they are. Even untrained people can't help but respond but when a pro does and still is in awe??? So satisfying! He is indeed magnificent!
Chills. Every time I hear this.
The first time I heard this song by Disturbed, I cried, remembering the times and the angst of those days.
Those drums!!! His power, his rasp! This time hearing this, I didn’t cry, but my hair is still standing upright!!!thanks John, for featuring this.
How the heck he’s able to not rip his vocal chords apart and return to such a soft tone amazes me. Like he goes from angel - demon - angel again 🤯
Thank you - you chose where to pause perfectly to keep the build up, you gave such insightful comments, and you showed respect to and enjoyment of a fellow artist. I really enjoyed this reaction. Many others may have done it, but few as well as you. Cheers.
I appreciate that!
@@JohnHennyVocalStudio The crazy part of this is that David was very ill in this performance. he had the flu and fever of 102. He had to sit because they were afraid he would pass out. He even needed help off the stage when they finished. He is simply amazing!!!
I understand that this video of this program was nominated for a Grammy and has a viewing of over 100 million. To me, if this audio could be synched with the video of the studio version, the combination would be so outstanding. The video has such a commanding story in itself; with the vocals, it can't be missed. I am 76, heard Simon & Garfunkel sing it as well as many others, and have never understood the song until I heard Disturbed do it; now I understand it and feel it.
Thank you so much for reacting to this performance John. I enjoy your reaction and respect your opinion. This was one heck of a cover, and you really showed a great respect for the singer.
Glad you enjoyed!
He was so sick during this performance he had a fever and congestion he killed it he is amazing
David is a master!❤
So fun to watch your reaction! I’m writing a chapter in my doctoral dissertation about the connectedness human beings find through music that is as deeply moving as this performance has proven to be for everyone who sees it. Seeing others react with astonishment and joy and awe is part of that experience of connected humanity. It releases endorphins, it lowers blood pressure and reduces the sense of isolation and anxiety that has been cloaking this planet for the last two years. It’s pretty incredible research to behold and I’m grateful this performance exists and I’m grateful for the gift of the many reactions I have seen to it. Wonderful stuff!
This song consistently makes me
cry. His voice is so beautiful.
This is by far my favorite video to watch. The fact that David was sick with a 100+ degree fever while performing was magical. For me a true lover of music this song when I hear it moves me to tears because it truly is beautiful. The official video on Disturbed singing this is very emotional.
100degrees? That’s the boiling point of water lol
Disturbed makes you listen to the lyrics. I love Simon & Garfunkel's version too but it's so easy to just listen to their harmony instead of the lyrics. Not with this version! ♥️
@@Dallass66 He means F and not C, but fever is getting higher with every comment😁
100 degrees?? Are you sure
@@pandasanding7036 100 degrees F are 37,78 degrees Celsius
I just cannot hear this without crying- because it’s so powerful.
Knowing that you appreciate the talent it takes and watching The Joy on your face reacting is one of the best things I've seen in a long time. Thank you.
I have watched this version literally a hundred times and many, many reactions. I loved your reaction...I really enjoy seeing someone’s surprise at his range and control while truly enjoying the experience. This has become my favorite song of all time....62 years. ❤️
To this day I have NEVER seen a vocalist be able "fry" vocals and adding a vibrato while doing it! Hes amazing!
David Draiman...amazing range and control...a powerful yet soulful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion/vocal fry and back on a dime, which is incredibly difficult to do . He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before.....just hauntingly beautiful and pure tonal properties to it! ...one of the best male vocalists on the planet imho. Got goosebumps yet again! Loved your reaction John.
David classically trained as a Cantor, having trained in both his home in New York and in Israel.
I’ve heard David Draiman in Disturbed and knew he had a powerful voice, but I was blown away with now clear and rich his voice could be.
We can't forget David Draiman hadn't sung acoustically since he was a teenager. Evidently the band went in studio and got the final take got the first try. He REALLY needs to sing acoustically more often, IMHO. 🥰
Love listening to John Henny doing a reaction because he explains what is going on and gives us an excellent understanding of how a vocalist is able to do these things with his vocals. Well done John for a great reaction and another insight as to how these vocalists are able to control there voices.
Thank you, Andy! I appreciate the kind words.
I love your reaction. I am moved everytime I hear him sing it!!!
I really appreciated your knowledgeable review of this song, it amazes me that every element, the accompaniment, David draiman's vocal techniques, the careful emotional buildup of the song, the visual beauty of the background, but most of all the power and emotion that draiman's voice brings to this - all these parts come perfectly together to make a whole that transcends anything else I've ever heard. On this night, in this performance, David draiman and Disturbed created magic.
I saw them live in 2019 and when they did this sound I had goosebumps the whole time. Hearing it in person was absolutely amazing!
Even more amazing with this performance, David Draiman was actually very ill and fighting a 102 fever when this was taped. Astounding.
It was auto tuned.
Instant subscribe. Smart, knowledgeable, passionate comments. Minimal interruptions. I loved this reaction ❤
Fantastic review. I've watched a lot of reactions and yours is right up there. Top man
I’ve heard this song a lot both Paul Simon and disturbed, for years. I’ve also watched multiple reaction videos to this song. Your reaction video is by far my favorite. I love the way you explain his talent, because Lord knows I can’t carry a tune so it’s really nice to see someone who’s at your professional level reacting to this. Thank you for sharing.
Gives me chills. One of the few voices I can see in colour and feel the texture. Really hits many senses.
Loved how you enjoyed it!
Absolutely loved your reaction 💗 Powerful voice.💗
This live performance was outstanding! David and the whole group hit it out of the park!
Very kool reaction, John. I’m now in the rabbit hole of watching vocal teachers reaction to this and hearing you alls knowledge of what it takes to do what he’s doing. Thanks
I love how you enjoy this. David is a master, a trained cantor and had some opera training and is a fantastic heavy metal singer
I love your reaction! This gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!
One of my favorite reactions; great breakdown
This is the best reaction I've seen. David Draiman is a masterful vocalist.
A lot of youtubers forget most of us look for reactions to songs which are really special to us. Thank you for your respect.
Haven’t stopped listening to this every day, gives me goosebumps!
❗️I HAVE WATCHED THIS PROB ABOUT OVER 100 TIMES & IT IS SO SPECTACULAR EVERY SINGLE TIME
I’ve watched all of these reactions on UA-cam. It’s so epic. A masterclass. Love your reaction and comments. Well done mate!
Your reaction to this masterpiece performance is my favorite. I’ve watched this so many times! And yes, subscribed!
Gives me chills EVERY SINGLE TIME
Great video John, this is my favourite cover ever. Pure goosebumps. The music video is epic too ^^
I’ve loved this singer for years, now I understand why. Thank you for your insight and passion, I’ve just purchased your book in Audible format. Looking forward to augmenting my voice lessons with your teachings.
Great review! David Draiman's vocals and technique are just glorious. This is just a special cover that draws people who never cared for folk music (🙋🏻♀️) into the stunning lyrics. Of course I've heard the original, I grew up with it. But as a child, I didn't hear the lyrics, I only vaguely heard and dismissed a style of music I didn't care for. So I never actually LISTENED to the lyrics until I found this version. It's so much more impactful to me. I was driving several hours for a business trip the first time I heard it and I was so blown away I just kept hitting the repeat button over and over... You should watch the video, as well. If not for reaction, just for your own enjoyment. The images are so powerful and really back up the lyrics.
Nicely done, I thoroughly enjoyed this.
BTW, if you want to try other Disturbed songs that aren't terribly metal, perhaps try one of these. Their videos are always great, as well.
"The Light"
"Hold Onto Memories"
"A Reason To Fight"
"If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" (a cover of Sting's song)
"Uninvited Guest" (I find this song intriguing in technique.)
Even in their most metal sound, his voice effortlessly commands and leads over the top of heavy guitars and complicated drum patterns. You just never know where they're going next.
Lovely reaction, thank you
Loved your reaction, you had me smiling right along with you. You truly enjoyed it! And I am just sitting here watching because this is my all time favorite, after so many times listening I still get goosebumps.
I've been obsessed with this rendition of the song, probably listened to it 100s of times, seen every reaction to it, sends chills down my spine every time. I love the reactions where people genuinely cry over the emotions it evokes but I love your reaction, just laughing at how fucking flawless he sings.
I never get tired of perfection, Happy Christmas.
Love your reaction. Great remake. Best ever ❤️
David gives me goosebumps every time I hear this song… all versions… so so good!!!
Yep Amazing, EVERY time that I listen to him sing this song !
Most insightful and pure reaction that I've seen! What a performance
If i remember correctly he was actually sick with the flu during this performance and he still nailed it. Imagine if he wasn't sick. 🤯🤯🤯
Best reaction I've seen yet. When I watch a true professional's face and body react so naturally and honestly, I feel... I'm almost proud of the band... hard to describe, but definitely a masterpiece
Absolutely loved watching your reaction completely enjoying each note.
Idk if anyone has mentioned this or not but David actually trained to be a cantor. I thought that was pretty interesting.
David is one of a kind. He is totally awesome. Well trained...
David has amazing control over his instrument. He is a pure artist.
I love watching your reaction to him and his voice. The video made has so much more emotion in it leaving me speechless.
I’ve never had a favorite song before. Now I do… it rocks me to the core every single time
He is so amazing and during this performance he was quite sick with the flu. Imagine that!
Prefection!❤
Your reaction - Perfection. There is Joy on your face; where it belongs. Rock on. 🤙🏼
After seen and follow thousends of reactions.. you are straight in my top 5❤
One of my favorite reactions to my current favorite song. Brilliant.
Unreal. Absolute masterfully dine I'm observed with this pal
You can see, as he's watching this that John is thoroughly enjoying this performance.
This is something I love to see.
you have described what I was feeling about his vocals. His talent is rare and beautiful particularly the way he goes from the most dramatic but not overly so to soft rich and quiet tones.
Good reaction as usual, John.
I love your reaction. I think I saw held back tears? I have tears every time I see reactions or hear this song. Welcome to the club!
Beautiful 🥰❤️ love his voice and he was trained professionally
Yes! Your reasoning is exactly my own! Thank you! I’ve been a lifelong fan of Disturbed but seeing you judge Draiman on his vocal abilities is extremely refreshing!
Magnificent!!!!!! He REALLY makes you FEEL it!!!
There are so many great moments in this song. The octave shift at the beginning of the third verse. The drop to base with "silence like a cancer grows. The multi-coloured tones in the "take my arms" verse. The seamless shift from distortion to clear near the end (tenement halls) and that final crescendo. It was great to see you react so viscerally to them all.
Its even more impressive if you know that he was sick that day and had problems bending his voice. Absolutely incredible
One of the best reactions
Have become addicted to watching reaction videos of this song, what a talent and gift to be able to evoke this kind of reaction; goosebumps and tears .. from every single person who listens to it and literally theres not a voice coach out there that doesnt react the same way! What a testament to David Draimens voice ... and to be sick while he did this live version... wow ! Awesome 🤯👏👏👏
One of my favorite things in the world is hearing harder rock singers sing songs like this and being amazed just how beautiful of actual singers they are. Sometimes the loud music covers up just how disciplined their voices are and their true range. Besides the fact that he brought a new, powerful light to this song… the fact that he did it so easily and beautifully is what I believe is making so many people pay attention. I have yet to get bored listening to this version. ❤
This is one of my favorites
This was really good
First time hearing this one ❤
l love this version as well as the studio version and 1 they done with myles kennedy
Your video editing is very musical. Bravo.
I’ve watched Disturbed’s version a hundred times at least on YT. Listened to it driving many more times. I’ve watched multiple reaction vids as well. This is my favorite one. First time I’ve heard he takes control of the tempo and realized how true it is!! I’ve been a HUGE metal head fan and a HUGE fan of Disturbed for 29 years. When they dropped this I was absolutely flabbergasted. I knew David D.’s voice was amazing but had no idea at how mastered he was… insane. James Hatfield, David Draiman, Phil Anselmo, and so many others whose talents are seriously overlooked by the masses due to their style of music. Thanx for a great reaction, it was genuine and love the energy!
Amazing reaction
Love to watch a professional who appreciates this.
I’m a major fan of Disturbed’s Sound of Silence cover and this is the best reaction video I’ve seen. Thank you.
Really enjoyed YOU enjoying this. Makes me feel like I'm not alone... or crazy.
I never get enough of watching this song. I love this version so much. It gives me child’s every time I hear it. Love!!
Great reaction!!!! ❤❤❤
