David Draiman is one of the best voices in modern music. But because so many of Disturbed songs sound similar nobody realizes he has such an angelic voice.
I have a friend who just happened to be in that audience that night. He said that people who were backstage came out to see who was singing. The audience gave the band a 10 minute standing ovation. I believe this performance is one of the top 10 live tv performances of all time. It’s almost unworldly.
That's a great story. I ran across it several days later on the internet. I had never heard anything by Disturbed before, and then I watched that video probably 50 times and showed it to everyone I knew.
@@warchaser388Yes, he would. People were making comments about how he sounded. A little bit different he didn't want to strain his vocal cords cause he was actually bad sick, but he didn't want to stand up his performance.
The insane thing about this is he was sick. Had a high fever. He absolutely blew this out of the water!! It's 100% better than the the video/studio version. Amazing voice!!
The "sick" myth is a lil overblown. He wasn't sick and had no fever. He essentially had a vocal cord injury that required surgery in the end. He had been putting it off because he was afraid the surgery would ruin his singing voice (a legit possibility), but not long after this performance he gave in.
@@Qmocean he didn’t just have a vocal cord injury he had BLEEDING LESION on his vocal cord. Any singer could tell you that to perform at this caliber with that injury is insane. I agree. I have no idea where the sick myth came from. very possibly from them. But my aunt is classically trained, and this performance blew her mind knowing what he was dealing with.
I saw Disturbed live 3 times when I was in college. Even if their style of music isn’t your cup of tea, there is no denying that Dave Draiman is a world-class performer. I’m a fan of many genres and he is in a category of his own for sure. I’m so glad they did this cover so millions of people outside of the metal crowd get to hear and appreciate his talent.
I was at Rockfest in KC years ago when he did this song and the entirety of the 50,000 person audience was absolutely dead silent (no pun intended), just listening in absolute awe.
Over a billion views of just the music video on youtube alone now. 1/8th of the planet. Between that and all the other means of listening to it, I wouldn't be surprised if half the human race has experienced this wonder.
Agreed. I think some people sing better when they are performing with live music. It gives them an energy and inspiration that they don't get in a studio.
FOR ME . . . the signature of a true talent is their ability to not only duplicate the studio version, but will ALMOST ALWAYS sound better in a live. Why? They feed off the crowd and the momentum of the moment and their TRUE TALENT keeps them on course as they perform in a bigger and even better way! Blessings
Because of how sick David was that night, he was sitting down to perform. Apparently they wanted to use auto-tune because of him being sick but he absolutely refused. He is a beast. Just incredible.
This was actually the debut - before the recorded version was released. ALSO - he was ill with a fever and still knocked it out of the park. AND IF THAT WASNT ENOUGH, he was pissed that the audio team dared to autotune him as he wanted the raw vocals to go out.
That he performed this beautifully while seated and sick to boot speaks volumes about his training and ability. Being seated always diminishes a part of the breath control, in some singers more than others . I was a rock singer in my youth, and I found it more difficult to sing well while seated. I believe Disturbed was awarded a Grammy for this live performance. Such artistry!
@dalehammers4425 No doubt. That is one thing I loved about the Conan show. He was not afraid to feature music guests that other late night programs passed on. I'm not sure why but I missed this episode. Conan is just not the same now without Max Weinberg and the original studio band. Anyway 😮. Yes this arrangement with the different piano has a much bigger haunting sound to it. I'm glad I found this.
I just saw Disturbed last month. They have been my favorite band for 20 years but never had a chance to see them live. Hands down the most real representation of voice, emotion, and experience I have ever seen. David was flawless. So impressive.
David Draiman is classically trained, and in his younger years, he was classically trained as a cantor, who is someone that sings liturgical music and leads prayer in a synagogue. But after being expelled from three different yeshivas and blowing up his high school rabbi's van, Draiman wasn't cut out for the seminary, and the rest is heavy metal history 😎
It’s so crazy, he was so sick that he had to be sitting in a chair, because he couldn’t stand for the whole song. I think this is one of his best performances of this song ever.
The whole "sick" thing turned out to be a myth. He had a vocal cord injury and it was recommended that he didn't perform. He had surgery shortly after.
@@emerje0 Well lets get it from David himself, perhaps it wasn't flu but i assume that you have yourself suffered from a number of lesions on your vocal chords so you know how easy it is to carry out such a mediocre performance with such a small injury: www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=disturbed+the+sound+of+silence+was+david+sick#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:1b9a6b8c,vid:idFt3y9HlYI,st:0
@emerje0 That isn't true. I seen him in an interview where David Draiman admitted that he had influenza. Get your facts straight. And another thing too; he got pissed off backstage about them using autotune on him
Hello - Kathy here - yes, this live version is amazing. The only difference in this one and the video version, is the first line he is singing in a lower register, but due to the injury to his vocal cords, he didn't go down as low as he did in the studio version. But this one is stunning. Thank you for your reaction. Love this song!! Have a blessed day.
This live version of the song by Disturbed is my favorite of all other versions. Including Disturbed's music video and the original song from back in the day. Obviously, that had to exist for this to exist, so obvious mad props given to the writer or writers of the song. This live version is just so very powerful to me with the orchestra in the back, and honestly, I think the fact that he was sick and losing his voice actually contributed to the growliness of his voice at some points which I think made it sound even better than the music video.
David Had A Lesion On His Left Vocal Cord That Night ! He Was Full Of Prednisolone To Help With The Inflammation ! Also Had His ENT Team Ready If He Needed Them..Amazing Amazing Version Of SOS...❤ ❤
When Disturbed was on that late night show, David was sick with a fever so he wasn’t 100%. David’s parents Jewish parents sent him to orthodox schools for him to train to become a Rabbi. Although he doesn’t practice his faith, he is a trained Cantor. He is a well trained vocalist and knows how to protect his voice.
6:45 I saw the moment you got goosebumps. Absolutely understandable. One of the greatest live performances of all-time, and I'd put my name on that. Great reaction!
This live version is, I agree, even better than the recorded studio version. And to think he was very sick during this performance. David's voice is so incredible! The emotion in this performance fives me chills and that angst bu8lds in my chest....
I can think of two amazing songs live- Chicago "25 or 6 to 4 " tanglewood live BLOWS away the studio version, and Heart doing a Cover of "stairway to heaven" live at the kennedy center was ridiculous
I love his amazing voice… more impressive that he was really sick when he performed this and still went out and gave an amazing performance! I love his cover of this song soooo much.
The whole "sick" thing turned out to be a myth. He had a vocal cord injury and it was recommended that he didn't perform. He had surgery shortly after.

This song I believe is about how music 🎶 stopped being played and how people stopped talking and listening when the neon God they made😮 came out which was tv 😊
Yes! His voice is ALWAYS better live imo. The tone in his voice is something you really should try to experience live in person if you can because you really feel it in your bones. I've had the pleasure of seeing Disturbed live several times and was even lucky enough to chat a bit and get an autograph signed by him and he's also a very gracious and kind human being.
This performance is crazy good even with the really bad cold he had. I love his version of this song. It is awesome. He also had years of classical training which he said has helped him to be able to sing like this. Awesome!!
Best live performance of ANYTHING I’ve ever seen!!! (I’m 66; also, I agree this is better than the studio version, especially with the beautiful atmosphere/visuals!) ❤️✌🏻✌🏻❤️
I got to hear this twice at Download Festival, UK, and the crowd of almost 60k maybe more was dead quite, no noise at all from us. It was awesome to the point that the hairs on my body were on edge. So powerfully peaceful
My favorite version! This live performance had more humanity than the official studio version. Yeah, I know the Conan production folks used auto tune and David was pissed, but personally this was my favorite. Sometimes the imperfections make things better.
He was high when he recorded the song. The day he recorded the song he didn't think he was going to do any vocals that day so he had indulged in the thing he does. It took about 3 hours for him to record this song because they didn't know how they wanted to do this song. The only instrument that was already recorded was the piano. He cried when he heard the finished song for the first time. He hadn't heard himself sing in that tone since he was a teenager. David is a trained Canter. He did the training as a teenager.
Great reaction, so glad that you appreciate David's amazing voice. My dad always called that show the Gonad O'banion show while pretending he didn't know better. 😆
The original Simon and Garfunkel version was a warning to all about the decay that was happening due to technology, I always believed specifically television. In the 1960's, television went from being an occasional thing to a near constant thing. This version is the 'I told you so, why didn't you listen?' version. The scolding. The anger. Together, they convey an important message.
Nothing can break my heart or turn me into a super fan, like a live performance. Recently went and saw Depeche Mode live, and it gave me a whole new appreciation for their music. Amazing live show. To the point it was the best live show I had seen. Well until seeing Heilung live in October... and that show blew any previous show I've seen in my life... right out the water!!! ❤
I am a very old fan (50 years old) and I saw Depeche Mode in September 1993 at Madison Square Garden in NYC. David & Martin's voices were IDENTICAL to the recordings! I can still remember getting the "chills" when Martin sang "Somebody." I am glad to read that Depeche Mode is still killing it live 30 years later. :o)
Not about Depeche Mode who I,would love to see. But I have seen Queen with the brilliant Freddie Mercury, and that for me has been the most amazing show that I have ever and will ever see!!
And true voice! No auto tune. Some people say different, I truly don't think it's true. I think this is 100% pure. Even if it's a bit tuned, so what...he is amazing!
Apparently there was at 2:40 min (in the Conan Video), then David looks into the camera very quick. Apparently Conan's Techs put it on the Microphone against David's wish and he heard it and that was his reaction, that's why they immediately turned it off again. Can't find the damn article anymore where it was said. So, you can take that with a grain of salt. Sorry.
Not sure why this is a debated every time again: There is clearly Autotune in this performance. Maybe because David was sick, maybe against his will ... who knows. David is without doubt an excellent singer. Period. Here another (official) live recording - without Autotune: ua-cam.com/video/2o1p83UjJFA/v-deo.html Also a great performance, but the voice clearly sounds more human, with some lively imperfections.
There was auto tune and I did read David did not want it on but it's not his show/techs so out of his hands. But tbh he's better with it off, it's more raw and gritty. I think be beleives the same so prefers it off/minimal for some correction
I've seen Disturbed live lots of times, they put on an amazing show. David has trained his voice, I don't remember how far his voice training went. I feel the big difference between your basic bands and great bands is amount of training and practice.
He is a trained Jewish cantor. That is why his voice is so clear, loud, resonating, and perfect! I can't believe how excellent he sounds having the flu as bad as he did. Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm absolutely nuts over this performance!!! Brought tears to my eyes, even though I've watched it a hundred times. Guess it's been awhile😊 I like the live better as well. Really appreciate your reaction to this💜
I totally agree with you. Even agree about Blink 182, I was disappointed in that one. Anthony Ray also reacted to this version and messaged you during the reaction. He was so impressed. I love the dynamic you have with other reactors. Keep up the awesome work.

Not only he sang amazing but the arrangement with the live instruments behind make a HUGE difference.
Yes!!! The live instruments and drums!! It was better!!
Agreed. I think some people sing better when they are performing with live music. It gives them an energy and inspiration that they don't get in a studio.
His voice puts goose bumps through my whole body! He and the music takes my breath away!
@@StellaJean1000 the timps definitely weren't live :p mimed just for show

The lead singer David was sick when he performed this on Conan. It's pretty incredible for a sick man.
Could be said he was down with the sickness 😂
@TDubble0 oh, that was so good
The look of Astonishment on your face @ End was absolutely Priceless!❤🎉😂

David is one of the most talented artists I have ever encountered. His music is so versatile and his vocals are just *chefs kiss*
When he adds all the grit towards the end, it always gives me chills, man, such beautiful talent. It's why i love david.
I think that grit at the end was likely made better by the fact that he was sick. It just seemed like it added that little bit more emotion to it.
Love seeing people react to his sound of silence live and music video for the first time.
They turned a Masterpiece into a MASTERPIECE!

I love that 2 seconds of silence when the song is over before the audience erupts❗️❣️❗️❣️❗️❣️
This was a masterpiece.
If you get the chance to see disturbed live, do it as soon as possible. They put on a hell of a show
I'm absolutely nuts over this performance!!! Brought tears to my eyes, even though I've watched it a hundred times. Guess it's been awhile😊 I like the live better as well.
Really appreciate your reaction to this💜
I saw Disturbed at Ozzfest in '00 in Dallas, their debut album The Sickness had only been out for about 5 months, I've been a fan since then.🤘🤘
Disturbed is better seen live. Amazing concerts.
This one always brings a tear whenever I watch/listen to it.
Disturbed and Miles Kennedy live in Houston. Sound of Silence rocks go look at the video !
On of.my favs
Oh yeah I absolutely liked it. Better than the studio version.
I totally agree with you. Even agree about Blink 182, I was disappointed in that one. Anthony Ray also reacted to this version and messaged you during the reaction. He was so impressed. I love the dynamic you have with other reactors. Keep up the awesome work.
i get chills every time i listen to this cover
He was very sick that night and still hit the ball out of the park! David didn't want to disappoint his fans--that's why he is sitting down!
Amazing!
This is much better then the record, or at least the video, the music isn't drowning out the vocals.
They were beautiful!😊
I agree this was great, better than the video I saw you reacted to! Love this song! Love you too ❤
