Wow my most viewed video! I'm glad you liked it. THANK YOU ALL!
Also reacted to Zombie by Bad Wolves.
Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/aCEykcEvA9o/v-deo.html
Hi, could you react on Nightwish - While Your Lips Are Still Red? Thank you. :)
Such a stellar cover
Nightwish- Phantom Of The Opera pleeeeeaaaaase lol
Strong video, voice and song. Hits you right in the feeling.
Love Love Bad Wolfs cover of Zombie It was magnificent
One of the best covers of any song ever performed by any artist, period.
Joshua Biddle have you watched hearts cover for stairway to heaven yet you will love it
Or, stick with me, Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt is the single best cover to rule them all.
Joshua Biddle have you listened to hearts cover to stairway to heaven
Joe Coker held the title strong for 40 years, he gave it up to Disturbed on this one. No doubt.
@@rochester7051 Yeah for me, depending on the mood I'm in, I bounce back and forth between Johnny Cash's Hurt and Disturbed's Sound of Silence as the best cover of all time.
I heard somewhere that someone said "metal singers can't sing." Then David said "Hold my beer!"
And here are my friends Lzzy Hale and Tatiana
umm, Robert Plant, Rob Halford, Geoff Tate, Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie James Dio and I could go on
Uh, Floor Jansen....
Haha
Metal singers are capable of some downright unnaturally amazing things with their voices, whoever told you that is so full of shit lmao
So glad you felt it too. My son sent this to me and at 71 years of age, a 23 year Marine Corps veteran, 2 years continuous in combat in Vietnam in the late 60s ... I cried. Simon and Garfunkel sang out the warning but David Draiman drives home the rage and helplessness of humanity for not having listened to that warning!
Thank you for your service, sir!
Never done this before. We are the same age. Children of the 60’s who were there for Simon & Garfunkel’s original version of the masterpiece which has been my favorite song since it was first released. Your comments touched my soul. I can’t listen to Disturbed’s version without the tears streaming down by the middle of the song. No matter how many times I hear it the memories of the past 70 plus years stream by and I wonder what we’ve learned. In any event good luck brother and thank you for your service - although “thank you” is hardly enough to describe how I feel.
And it really doesn't seem like we're listening yet
I've always loved Simon and Garfunkel and this was one of my favorites after Bridge Over Troubled Waters.
When I heard Disturb version it became my favorite. You can't help but think about what he's saying and the feeling he puts behind it. Makes me cry, makes me think people should cut off TVs, games, and phones and just talk and listen to each other. To come together as the human race and not all the nonsense that's going on in the world today. Too many people killing each other, too many children going hungry, too much political bullshit! God bless those that have served this country and especially those that have died for it. We shouldn't let any of it be in vain.
@@glendapage598 TVs games and phones are helping poeple be more connected to each other than ever. Its the political elite who try separate us.
346million views because once you listen to this song once, you are clicking at least 50 more times over the next month.
Most of my relistens are reaction videos like hers.
Oh hell yes! lol
I have tried sneaking up on this song a few times now but it always manages to sucker punch me in the face.
At least
Now itd more than twice that.
Disturbed did to to Sound of Silence what Johnny Cash did to Hurt. They took an already powerful song and gave it a spine-tingling oomph that few covers ever accomplish.
Beautiful comparison Kerosectacy. I completely
agree.
Perfectly said
Two of my favs
Yeah, I'll have to find it but it was several, i guess higher ups in the recording process, that didn't really want to invest much into Johnny Cash doing that cover. Partly the age and the genre he was known for I guess. Goes to show in a way the whole "never judge a book by its cover".
Thing about "hurt" is that Reznor wrote it to convey a sense of emptiness, and Cash filled it in a way only he could
Something tells me that she never got down with the sickness in the 2000s
What I know people that have heard the sound of silence disturbed version but don't know any of their other music I like plane down with the sickness afterwards that is shock and awe
She looks stupefied.
Raidenrussian21 dude! That’s soo funny 😂😂🤘🏼
Raidenrussian21 clearly
Oooh Wah ah ah ah!
Her reaction is priceless, you can tell shes genuinely just in awe.
4:53 Speachless.
I felt exactly the same the first time.
The whole time it looked like she was watching a horror movie. Totally entranced, afraid to look away from the screen, shocked.
@KLIKSSS KLUBBB
I've been watching this Sound of Silence cover and I always notice you commenting.
@@eduardsonjeciel3193 It's because I love the version of that song, it's just so so good. :)
Best reaction ever!!
DAYUM GIRL!!!! THIS is 1 of THE most honest genuine reactions I have EVER seen in 10 years on YT!!! Your reaction is EXACTLY what David was after. You didn't disappoint. People.....THIS is how you do genuine.
Spot on!!!! ❤
@@joegroves1519 I agree. Her reaction is just as entertaining as video and the music. Had to sub.
I can watch this a million times, and it still gives me goosebumps Everytime
I agree Jay I still get Goosebumps. He's just amazing
Any well sung version of this song gives Goosebumps...
Yeah man same! Ive watched like 4 reaction videos in a row, just to see what other people do when they hear THE part, and I got goosebumps 4 times in a row lmao
jay57331 me too all over my body
same here
"Omg it felt like he looked into my soul..."
Yeah... He does that.
The Noremac the power of actual eye contact
in the studio it was recorded that on that last note .he collapsed exhausted onto the floor ,,its a work of art this ,the music the video etc ,,i only know them from this ,,
Literally makes me cry
@@eenavid he did it live on Conan and sat there and belted out the most powerful beautiful voice I've ever heard...
@@eenavid I don't believe he "collapsed " after singing that last note.....his voice is too powerful....go watch him do this on Conan...he was sick and was worried how that live version was going to go because of him being sick and his voice messed up that day......just as powerful , if not more then here and he sat stoically, and didnt phase him...so I dont believe that
God: David do you want a voice of an angel or demon.
David: Yes.
Didn't this joke used to be about Tom Waits?
truth
eXpriest yup
Come up with your own comments instead of copypasting them from other videos.
@@Sparclen Dude, sometimes people type this shit without realizing others have beaten them to the punch on those other videos, and even if they did copy/paste it, who gives a shit? Don't be a dick, bro; let it go.
"Shut it down"! Perfect reaction. The man sings straight to your bones!
Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning.
Disturbed's version is rage because the warning was ignored.
Jody Tegge you should give credit to The Lavian for saying this exact comment first on a different reaction video for this song. Good try though.
Absoloutely. You can apply every part of this as a warning about Smartphone technology and how it is used.
Stealing comments fuckface
@@Agnes135 Says the man with a "short" vocabulary.... go home "lil" one!!! Momma is calling you.
@@halfas05 I replied that same message a crossed 6 other reaction videos for this song, because it was one of the best answers ...and was just sharing it!! The ones that really got me..were the reaction videos that had a comment like... " I dont know what the song was about... but it was a very powerful song"....
THAT is David Draimon. He is probably the best heavy metal vocalist in the game right now. The man has perfect tone and pitch.
One of the best, yes.
Draimon's voice is classically trained...opera no less. He's quite amazing.
But Roy Khan...
I agree. What an incredible voice. I think David has that stand out voice in today's era that Geoff Tate of Queensryche had back in the day. He still sounds fantastic though.
Can’t forget Myles Kennedy!
I'm obsessed with THIS masterpiece. Thank you Disturbed and David for THAT voice. Perfection in every possible way!!
I loved your reaction. I will turn 67 this October and have been a performing artist for over 40 years. And true to all artforms, when the time is right art penetrates into the passion and the emotional dark corners we like to think we hide from everyone and pretend don't exist in us. And then David with his hypnotic rendition of this song communicated to your heart and soul through his art of music. You're reaction was priceless. Thank you for your honesty and emotional response. Thank you for your beauty and your illuminating spirit.
Well said
This cover blew my mind. I never in a million years thought it was possible to add more of a haunting feel to this song. Disturbed nailed it!!
mrhoffhame same for me! wow!
My friend's 80 year old mother LOVES this version!
I love Simon and Garfunkel's original, but, I BLAST THIS! The original should be felt, Disturbed's should be listened on the road to heaven.
eah really good and im a Simon and Garfunkel fan
I so agree. I love the original, but this dude, found an even deeper, more visceral, way to express this song.
When Simon and Garfunkel sang this it was a warning, they could see what was happening in the world. This version is sung in anger because the warning was not heeded and now we are living in the sound of silence.
Geowyn Leda it was over in America by 1871, already sold out, if not sooner. You should learn real history if you aren’t aware of this, they don’t teach the important stuff in schools. Look up the secret 1871 midnight legislative session that most legislators weren’t even a part of, I think only six were there.
America hasn’t been what people think it is for a long time. Generations.
Geowyn Leda Nicely put.
What in the name of all the gods are you talking about? What was over in America by 1871? My post was about The Sound of Silence.
I don't follow Distubed as a band and know next to nothing about them...why they picked this song to cover I'm not really sure..but I would sincerely doubt it because we are living in the sounds of silence...sung in anger? he uses distortion to a good effect vrs. the more sweet voiced parts...did you even listen to what the voice teacher was saying?
@@geowynleda4641 No it wasn't. You went political, and you don't like that someone said something you don't like.
Your reaction brought tearscto my eyes. This is EXACTLY what he wanted. And what Paul Simon wanted from this song. Wake the hell up people. As a member of the generation that grew up with Simon and Garfunkle's version, the message did not penetrate people's thick skulls. Maybe David D'd version will make a little bit more impact. It is mindblowing in so many ways!
STILL SLEEPING. ONE AND ALL. TOO LATE.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Anyone that doesn’t have your reaction to this performance has no soul. Sends shivers down my spine every time I listen to it 👍
The original is far better
@@unstman100 I have both but the Disturbed vocal and instrumental performance far exceeds that of the original in my opinion David 😀
I love David Draiman's voice. The range, the power... He can go from smooth and sensitive to raw and angry in one line. Amazing singer, I wish I could do that.
I can... but not while singing.
David Draimon brought the haunting nature of the original out, but added a quiet rage that better reflected our current geopolitical climate. It is an amazing cover
Someone pointed out to me that the original was a prophecy and this cover was anger that the prophecy became true.
agree
Geowhat?? No
4:27 "Shut It Down"
It feels like Her subconscious picked up on that.
That’s how he sings. His voice is legendary.
He has classical voice training. His mastery and control are absolutely phenomenal.
This is the beautiful side of metal that most people do not get to see because they know it as a loud and vulgar style of music. Glad you got a glimpse into the lighter side of metal. I think you would be impressed by Nightwish's cover of "The Phantom Of The Opera" live as well.
x666xIronMaiden or slipknot snuff.
Laurie Beth H - ha! If you decide to listen to slipknot please do this. Listen to these 2 songs back to back:
Vermilion pt2 and then one of devil in I/psychosocial/before I forget. One of the things I love the most about rock in general is its range. You can easily listen to it for an hour and never hear 2 songs about the same subject or perspective. Few musical forms do this to my knowledge.
Nightwish are superb. :)
you know, the fact that bands make angry and violent sounding music it doesn't mean they're an angry & violent band. For example - Suicide Silence have a song called You Only Live Once which sounds very violent but has a positive message. The band sold Mitch Lucker's (the previous vocalist which tragically died in 2012) shirt that he wore in the music video for 800$ and bought toys for kids in Christmas with the money. The metal community is the most loving & dedicated one, despite all the stigmas...there's no "beautiful side" to metal, metal is beautiful.
Wow youre here too? :D
So disturbed is a heavy metal band, but this guy (one of the lead singers) is clasically trained in OPERA of all things, this was his way of showing that off. (to our delight)
Stephan Ginther he is the only singer....
In an interview after this song was released, David said it had been twenty years since he had vocalized like that. He usually has the gruff thing going on as a Metal vocalist. Frankly, I am AMAZED at the purity of his tone because of how he usually sings!
metal has its roots in classical music
He trained as a cantor for Jewish religious ceremonies.
More than half of the vocalists of metal bands I listen to are trained in opera, it's not an uncommon thing.
It isn't just a song... it's an experience!!!
This is what real music, with real instruments, real voices and emotions sounds like. 👌
"WHO IS THIS GUY?!" lol... welcome outsider
I read this and thought "one of us, one of us, one of us."
I know right, people's reaction when they are introduced to real music.
I'd say she was properly Disturbed there.
Right? Us lifelong fans are like first time here huh? 😂🤣
My brothers my sisters my blood
I'm almost 50 and this song by David makes my eyes water and gives me chills every single time
I hardly think it's a question of age... music is music. Any time, place, genre, age. The one perfect universal language.
I'm almost 60 and it does that to me!! I don't care for metal at all, but, somehow, this just doesn't qualify as metal!
I have listened to this many times in repeat, and I always get goosebumps. Every single time
Yeah, no need to qualify anything with age. This shit is ageless. Or timeless if you prefer.
61 dito
“And in the naked light I saw...”
Dee: *mild climax*
I thought it was neon light
@@TriggerHappy923 na that was the "a flash of neon light stabbed my eyes and split the night" the verse prior
God asked David if he would like the voice of an angel or a Demon...
He said yes.
David Bilpush that is amazing!!! Exactly right! LMMFAO!
The original song was an ode to darkness. This version sounds like a call to arms.
You said that perfectly
Yep.. soon..
You are not wrong in how you felt. Hopefully soon.
Damn right!
🤣
To answer your questions, Disturbed is actually a four-piece band, their singer being David Draiman. He has that effect on people when it comes to his singing, especially with this song in particular. Fun fact, his grandfather is/was the head cantor at the main synagogue of Jerusalem itself, so he absolutely was born with this gift of singing.
finaly!! someone fkn said it!!!
Michael Ozayu My parents loved Simon and Garfunkle, so I grew up listening to this song. But I never UNDERSTOOD it until I heard this version. I've heard this version at least 100xs easily and it still brings me to tears each and every time. I can't even imagine hearing this live. I'd probably crumble to an emotional heap on the floor, and I'm not that kind of person usually.
Sierra Sugar the only reason it doesn’t bring mento such tears anymore is really because of overplay. That, and also I share the exact same sentiment being shared in this version: that nothing has changed and it’s worth being pissed about. But it is still a gorgeous piece of work and frankly had redefined Disturbed as much more than a metal band.
Love Disturbed thanks to this song. my son sang this to my brother on his birthday, we were leaving him a message and he came up with this out of the blue. My son nailed it and I thought he was a genius...of course (moms aren't always level headed)
I hadn't heard it yet and he was like, mom...wth? its Disturbed.
Lie, in the time of his grandfather there was no jews in jerusalem.
I loved her reaction to the song. ❤
That's how we all feel about it.
Such a strong, powerful emotional song.
When you said, "It felt like he looked into my soul", I knew you got it. You're right, it is quite piercing....but that is the point. You are connected from the starting point for the message. Nicely expressed.
You know they do rehearse like 30 times before the "reaction"? Its all about the likes and subs
The amount of people that react to this and ask “who is this?” and that aren’t ready for the ooo ah ah ah ah is hilarious.
There is no "ooo ah ah ah ah" in this video. That's Down with the Sickness.
No joke! He is talking about Sickness or the game
@@gr0uch02a Wow....
@@gr0uch02a that's what they were sayin, is when they do the "reaction" video to "Down With The Sickness". They didn't say that it was in this video, dude. Hell, they ain't ready for the switch up, with the cover of the Genesis song, "Land Of Confusion". Or, for that matter, their other song "Ten Thousand Fist's", or "Stupify", or even their song "Prayer". David Draiman was trained to be a Cantor Boy, when he was 5-6 year's old, as he went to church with his grandma...
Dudes voice can literally bring me to tears. Few singers have had that effect on me. Brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard the song.
I replied to a comment earlier with this:
Wheeler Maximus
I'm 71, a career Marine and it hit me too. I hadn't cried since Vietnam but this did it.
"He looked into my soul". I love your reaction.
I’ve watched you react to this video many, many, times. It is SO moving. Thank you for being so transparent and truthful in your response. It hits a perfect cord with me! Keep being you!
This woman's reaction was the closest I have seen to mine when I first saw this video. I was in emotional shock.
That was my reaction when I first heard Down with the Sickness in 2001 😂
Shook!
No lies, I freaking CRIED when I heard this version for the first time. Simon & Garfunkle's original, while great, just had this kinda spaced-out quality to it. Like, they were acknowledging that the world is falling apart, but they've kind of resigned themselves to their depressing fate. Draiman and Disturbed are saying "Yeah, this sucks, but I'll be DAMNED if I'm just gonna sit here and do nothing about it."
Exactly
My thoughts exactly.
me too. When I first saw they did a version of Simon and Garfunkle's 'Sound of Silence'. I was curious because they are one of my most favorite heavy metal/rock bands. And when David began the chourse. I could not stop my tears. Not many songs (especially remakes of classics) move me in such ways. But this version did.
SongDog7 that's the beauty of music though isn't it. It can be interpreted many ways :)
SongDog7 i cried to. I dont honestly care much for the original but this has to be my favorite song
Your reaction is beautiful! I have heard this song hundreds of times and I get chills and tears every time. David Draiman's voice sounds just like this live and he engages with the audience like no one I have seen. I love seeing others hear this song for the first time. 🙂
David Michael Draiman. This guy was actually an Administrator for a Healthcare Facility before he hooked up with Disturbed. Can you believe it?
I remember when I first hear David Draiman sing this for the first time. I turned to my wife Darlene and I said, "If Zeus could sing from his throne on Mt. Olympus, with bolts of liquid lightning dripping from his voice it would sound something like his vocals on this song." It's just unbelievable.
Its definitely powrful.
Zeus would need a lot of catching up to do to sound like David Draiman. lol
Gregory Michaels --- > Man what a wonderful picture you painted ! WoW !
This!
Thank you :)
his voice is one of the most powerful voices in rock, voice is so much more powerful live. Alot of people do not realize metal bands get there inspiration from classical music.
So true. It has been said the metal is just classical music played faster and louder.
I've seen them twice, both times i was lucky to be right smack in front... and im not a religious person, but when David Draiman tells you to put your fist in the air... all there is, is a sea of fista.
he has the presence of a god. And it sounds crazy, but as a black chick, when i was 14yrs (in 2001), hearing Down with the Sickness changed my entire perception and possibly the course of my life.
I mean... i could've been a Drake or bieber fan.
Also a lot of metal vocalists are classically trained
Yes they are vocal wise and musical instruments. And April I seen them once and idk what it is about him his voice gives me chills, but like many power house voices from Rock from the amazing women to the men there voices are so much better live!! I saw an interview where he almost didn't become a singer he went and got his degree for a business administrator lol swear this men needs to do a few Broadway shows I can see him playing the Phantom of the Opera.
Power Voice= RJD
FYI, he's not enhancing his voice in the studio, he really is this good live. Disturbed and Linkin Park were some of the best bands I ever saw when I was a teenager, they were amazing live.
He's not disturbed nor enraged. He's probably the sweetest guy on the planet. He's a credit to the music industry.
Disturbed are a Heavy Metal band. They have some pretty mellow songs too, Darkness being one. The singer's name is David Draiman, and (in my opinion) he's got one of the greatest metal voices I've ever friggin' heard.
Disturbed has done quite a few covers like this and they're ALL amazing
David Draiman has such an amazing voice. The video of him warming up while singing Unchained Melody is truly amazing.
A Strange Guy I agree 100% Disturbed is one of my favorite metal groups
Oh, Amazing is not a strong enough word for them!
another good voice is Korey Taylor, he docent use his mellow voice much with slipknot but with stone sour he does.
Did you get chills?? I have seen and heard this many times probably 100 or more and I STILL get chills. They won a Grammy for this.
Same
I get chills every time c:
Sadly they actually didn't win that Grammy, they were merely nominated (Best Rock Performance). Specifically it was for the live performance of the song, I assume on the Conan show.
Jesi Larie and with good reason I rarely get chills and this song does it everytime
Same here
For some reason, I am attached to this version by Disturbed. I find myself watching the reviews, and Dee KNOCKS it out with her emotional response. Fun to watch her facial expressions during the song, as well as her comments after. Great vid, and thanks for the honesty!
The crescendo that he builds here with that empowering voice of his is the most riveting that I had ever experienced 👍Chills Chills Chills. Well done Disturbed!!!
What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: ua-cam.com/video/P-KdPsT-9UU/v-deo.html Very well done!
David Draiman and the rest of Disturbed schocked everyone with this one.
I was truly shocked by the auto tune..really really NOT shocked by the performance..kind of stock..nothing new...
@@mikeadams2351 Heard it live?
You do hear autotune, he still sings very awesomely well! That would've been awesome without if you ask me.
Still love the original more..
A friend posted this song on her facebook when it first came out... and I almost hesitantly clicked on it. Disturbed is amazing at the hard rock/metal sound... I didn't know how it would jive with Simon and Garfunkle. Then this happened... I listened to it again... and again... and again. It took me half an hour to be able to wrap my head around it.
I guess you could say that she is down with the sickness.
Great vid. I had to pull over when I heard this cover for the 1st time. Similar reaction.
And ECU wins.
:(
Ooh wa ah ah ah
This and the Dana white comments are the actual winners of the internet hahahaha
I Loved Your Reaction, It kinda hit me the same way when I first heard it,, and I remember when Simon & Garfunkkel first recorded the song, I thought then that it doesn't get any better than this, then I listened to Disturbed,, needless to say, I still get chills when I hear the Disturbed version. Never thought a 71 year old man could feel that way about any newer group!
I've listened to this cover hundreds of times and I still get goosebumps when his voice ramps up, the song has such a dark feel to it you can't help but feel it, this is amazing
Been a Disturbed fan from the very beginning, and every time the come out with a new album they make me feel like that. David Draiman has an astounding voice.
Dude, Draiman is the man... soo talented.. His song fron the queen of the damned soundtrack also
Definitely. Draiman really started putting more passion into his music when they did the Believe album. Still one of my favorites of all time
I legit cried the first time I heard this. I felt it in my soul.
The first time I heard this was on the car radio the day it dropped. I cried too. Probably didn't help my driving
And every time since!
So did he, when he first heard the assembled recording.
Hell, I still do
Everyone does
I have to tell you I can't get enough of this cover. I have watched probably over 100 reactions to thus and I still love yours the best. You didn't hold anything back and the reaction you had was exactly how I felt. You along with another young lady that I saw and she explain that in Africa the gave town criers and she compared David to one of them. She said no matter what you were doing the voice if the criers over powered everything else and that the crier had voice that was comannding not over powering. Thank you for your honest reaction. God bless.
At least once a week I have to watch your specific reaction to this rendition of Sound of Silence. Even when I watch the new reactions, I truly get a kick out of watching your reaction. Classic! Thanks for being so open about how you felt watching it.
When I heard Disturbed sing this song I thought “WOW”! I thought he would destroy this classic.....but,he blew me away.So much soull and energy.You could just feel the emotions this song gives you.Love it!
soo much auto tune...
m.w. Adams there is no auto tune at all he did it live on some talk show and it was the exact same omm
I've heard this song a million times that the lyrics are memorized in my head 4ever
This is why I'm a metal head..... A lot of metal will speak to your soul..... You're awesome btw
absolute mental, that a band like disturbed was played in mainstream radio for that cover
I love him
It's from folk artists, Simon/Garfunkel,,, check it out..
I hear you I've been a metal head since the first time I heard ride the lightning by metallica
@Fred Johnson That's awesome. I became a metal head when I heard Metallica's Until it sleeps on their Load album when I was 15. Never looked back and don't listen to anything else now because nothing else has the soul that metal music creates.
A year ago someone posted "One of the best covers of any song ever performed by any artist, period."
This remains true today.
Disturbed is an American heavy metal band from Chicago, formed in 1994. The band includes vocalist David Draiman, guitarist/keyboardist Dan Donegan, bassist John Moyer and drummer Mike Wengren. Draiman, Donegan and Wengren have been involved in the band since its inception, with Moyer replacing former bassist Steve Kmak, first as session performer in 2003, and then officially in 2005.
The band has released seven studio albums, five of which have consecutively debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.[1] Disturbed went into hiatus in October 2011, during which the band's members focused on various side projects, and returned in June 2015, releasing their first album in four years, Immortalized in August 2015. They also released two live albums, Music as a Weapon II in February 2004 and Disturbed: Live at Red Rocks in November 2016, which was recorded on August 18, 2016, at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado.
His name is David Draiman, and he is as spiritually deep as his cover of *The Sound of Silence*
He STOPPED A SHOW to save a woman's life as she was being crushed by the crowd in "The pit." He honored her by having her on stage as he continued to perform.
I am a messenger through music. I have made people laugh, cry, and even change negative attitudes to positive... but I am easily forgotten, and that's okay. *David Draimon* can NEVER be forgotten. He was alone in the studio to record this song. He was so broken, his band had to make sure he was okay. THAT is *David Draiman*
His name is David Draiman. He and the rest of Disturbed are absolutely awesome!! ❤
Best Band in the World
Anthony Walker Games Matter wouldnt call them the best, but influential
The real talent in Disturbed is their drummer!
paul surette their bassist is fuckin great too
DADDYDJENT Covers yes they all are awesome! Love them all!
This is my favorite version of this song by far! I’ve listened to disturbed since I was in my late 20’s. When this song appeared I wasn’t sure. Then I heard the song and tears and emotion flowed. I was floored. I’m so happy for you that you were able to receive the same gift. The song is Amazing to say it mildly. Now At 47 I’ve never heard a performance of this song that even comes close to this man.
His voice seeps into your soul, shakes your bones, and tattoos the words with tears.
I loved this song but this video actually made me appreciate its absolute genius even more. I know it’s a cover version but my god it’s stunning 😍
Love your stage name generic white b**** absolutely cool I hope you find some of my comments somewhere else and also about comments made about Dave Grohl and the movie he made called Sound City can't find it on UA-cam but if you woke you can find it somewhere else the best music history movie ever made god dammit and the best music video ever made is called Dave Grohl Play and it is 26 minutes long to clear up any confusion of which version to watch!!!!!!!!!! Good luck from Alan Harris at gmail.com. get you some
Try it live: [ ua-cam.com/video/Bk7RVw3I8eg/v-deo.html ] on Conan. It's a vaguely religious experience.
@@markussone7334 Well dave was sick when he was on Conan.
Nothing wrong with a cover if they bring something to it. This took one of the all time great songs and upped it. This haunting metal/opera cover is just amazing
As a disturbed fan of almost 20yrs...i say disturbed can cover any song and make it kick ass 🤘💀🤘
THE 5TH HORSEMEN David Draiman
Mad Hatter I know that...i don't know how what's his name got on my comment...odd
Good God.. has it really been 20 years..
NICE FINALLY someone who finally listened to the artist in full, THEN commented.
You MUST listen to this song with headphones on! :)
Best cover of Sound of Silence ever. This guy's voice is amazing and the musical arrangements are phenomenal.
The sound is not the power.. The sound is only the conduit.. Its power of the words within the tone, to reach the darkness, within the soul, where true power lies. Even when I first heard the 2 men whose voices I heard sing this first when I was very young, and felt the words come from them, I knew it had power. Disturbed tapped that power. They knew there was something more to be unleashed. And to see another feel that power makes me shake. Cause I can feel it as I watch.
James Row the true power is within the light, not the darkness.
Spleenlicker Maginticutty You are misunderstanding..I said "the power is in reaching the darkness".. I didn't say it was the darkness.. We all have a darkness within. Try to read my words with less judgement and more comprehension.
Just....awesome.
Well done. You connected so deeply to the energy coming from the song, and you did not shrink or pull away from the intensity. That takes courage to stay still and feel things that make us the appropriate level of Disturbed to allow growth and change. Keep it up!
Miss Dee, I don’t know who made me cry more, your facial expressions or David’s. Lordy, I love that rendition.
That was pretty much my reaction when I first saw this video by Disturbed. Somebody had shared it with me. I thought to myself before I played it "This is gonna suck" since I knew the S & G version my whole life. Then from the start I sat there in awe, chills up & down my spine as I listened to arguably one of the best covers I've ever heard. I played it at least another 5 or 6 times that day. Pulled my wife in to hear it and she loved it too. No idea how many times I've played the Letterman video, too.
I'm a gruff 36 year old. I wept when I heard this version.
@@wadedeason3365
5o(ish) and sat absolutely stunned, then listened to it at LEAST 15 more times!
Now imagine the affect that had on everyone when it was first released, and society was a much, much simpler way of life.
Back then there were very few songs that even came close to this level of depth of soul. This was a truly transformational message in it's day.
Kevin Aylward This song was released the year before I was born. I grew up listening to it on Classic Rock radio. I love it on u-tube! Tears to my eyes.
I loved her reaction. Of course, those of us who are aware know David Draiman is front man for Disturbed, but also does a significant amount of producing for other artists. His voice, his instrument, can range from the sublime like in “The Sound of Silence”, to a percussion instrument, like “Stricken”, and “Down With The Sickness.” We have had hints of Dave’s brilliance in “Remember” and “The Light”, but “The Sound of Silence” simply revealed it for the rest of the world. Ironically, David’s dad, an Orthodox Jew, had never listened to him until he did Paul Simon’s song.
"Silence like a cancer grows" he sells that line with so much hurt in his voice and face.
Disturbed don't normally make songs like this because they are more of a metal band but this song is a masterpiece
Danny Maginnis i'm 67 and I love this version much much more than the original It 's amazing
Danny Maginnis yes yes it is
Their song "The Darkness" (I think it's off their second album, not sure) is beautiful. And their version of The Sound of Silence is one of the finest renditions I've ever heard. David Draiman has become probably my favorite singer out of the last couple of decades.
Danny Maginnis they didn’t make it it’s a cover of the original which was made by Simon and Garfunkel
Huh? They do a lot of remixes.
I will say that that cover still gives me goosebumps. Love it.
Cauldron Of Weird still gives them good goosebumps
YOU ARE SO RIGHT
Same here.
Cauldron Of Weird
That version does the same to me. I love it!
Seen them do it in concert. So many goosebumps!
Being a lifelong fan of Disturbed and then seeing your reaction to David's voice, I had no control over getting teary-eyed. It's nice to see the moment when someone else can instantly understand something you love.
One of the best songs ever and what a job He did with it. 😭😭😭
There ya go David, bring them to there knees when you open up that legendary voice. Simply amazing.
The words your looking for are "a vocal orgasm"
@@samanthasmith2102 right ! when his tempo goes up I literally get chills ! Closest thing to orgasm without the sex. Or that's just me.
Amen sir!!
Real talk
love
David Draiman's voice is just....... just there are no words to describe his voice, his vocal range is outstanding. What I wouldn't give to have even a smidgen of that kind of talent.
SgtAwesome97 and this is after his throat surgery
Oh yeah, forgot about that. I remember hearing as well that the procedure failed not too long ago and he's back at square one.
The only other song I’ve heard him sing on par with this was Device “through it all”
Darkness is really good
SgtAwesome97 I agree
How can 1 song get so many emotions open up in your brain an apocalyptic view of what going on in the world BEAUTIFUL
Oh my gosh, your reaction was so REAL!!! I just listened to this song about 24 hours ago and I was FLOORED. I've since listened to it about 20 times, and have watched many reaction videos. YOURS is by far the most gratifying to watch. Thank you. ♥
There's absolutely nothing so satisfying as seeing someone reduced to tears when they hear the truth! Love you girl keep it up
When Disturbed did this cover live on Conan in 2016 Paul Simon posted a link to the video on Facebook and commented, " In case you missed it, Disturbed did a wonderful rendition of "The Sound of Silence" on Conan this week. The S&G cover also appears on Disturbed's latest album, Immortalized." Dave Draiman, Disturbed's lead singer responded, "Thanks so much to everyone for their kind words, and especially to Mr. Paul Simon himself. We did our damnedest to pay tribute to one of the most prolific, and legendary songwriters of all time. We are humbled and grateful beyond words."
Thomas Neal ‘’
Just absolutely brilliant!!
Nailed it 👍🏻
And there are no words for this man’s voice call gave him a gift to touch all of us in our souls, but it’s just amazing. His voice is amazing.
Thank you for listening and not interrupting. Love your reaction!
The shock effect of a song called the sound of silence which is normally played as a subdued piece being blasted at you is very emotionally powerful and the classic line about neon gods being the climax is perfect.
I have to say I prefer this to the original but not taking anything away from Paul Simons brilliant composing and lyrics
Lee B , Paul Simon and Art Garfunkle.
@@fayedunbar2912 hi Faye
Art was indeed part of the duo and added much to their work but Paul Simon actually wrote the song The Sound of Silence which he originally called The Sounds of Silence.
@@fayedunbar2912 Paul Simon's lyrics.
Lee B “ imagine “ mose’s with 10 commandments in his hands “ what he see “ 10.000 people maybe more ( 600.000) he see’s “ the people baud and pray “ to the neon ( golden calf ) God they med “ mose’s broke the “first 10 commandments “ out of anger “ mr “ Draimen show the anger in that part of the song “ a beauty 🙏💎🙏
I looked at this song completely differently because of the added climax that just hit me in the hardest places.
I've seen a lot of reaction videos lately and I wanted to thank you for actually creating a real one. You didn't pause the music to inject yourself into the performance and you really did react. I enjoyed watching you enjoy the experience. It takes me back to the first time I heard it with a similar feeling.
I agree. Not pausing and talking about it was more real; only reactions and expressions made this review so refreshing.
It's a powerful cover that speaks to the soul. It brings a chill to my spine and a tear to my eye. It's one of my favorite cover songs ever made.
Thank you for being authentic, real emotions, real response.
I have watched 4 or 5 other reactions. They either broke down his way of singing, or talked over the song.
I have listened to many other versions of this song, this is by far the best.
If you liked this you'll love his live performance of this on conan its phenomenal
Evan Bagshaw Completely agree!!
It’s the first version I heard and it is much better than the studio version.
Maybe the best live tv performance ever.
I agree Disturbed's version is the first time i heard the song and while Simon and Garfunkle's original version is phenomenal live Disturbed's is on a different level all together.
Yeah, it's somehow even better.
Why do i have to cry everytime i hear this song?
It's a powerful message in the song itself as written, but Disturbed added such an extra intense layer of emotion over it all - sadness, solitude, empathy, a deep desire to save those silent people, and rage at everyone paying attention to their Neon Gods (technology, politics, entertainment, etc.) instead of paying attention to each other.
Disturbed took this from the haunting folk song of Simon and Garfunkle into an unbridled walk through all the emotions that any person who pays attention in this modern age feels about the world we live in.
Because it's the only proper reaction, and the song is THAT good.
this version of this song just Forces tears out of you...
Perhaps you cry because you know deep down, no one listened to Mr. Simon's warning in the song when it came out.
Every time I hear this I have tears streaming down my face this is so powerful beyond words
Omg, I've listened to this song probably 100 times and it never gets old. It's like I'm watching it for the first time. I get chills and emotional at times. It is the most moving song ever. He is brilliant!!❤
